Beyond 5G: A marketplace approach for Adjacent Growth OpportunitiesBenjamin Hourte
Support slides used during the Luxembourg 5G conference (11-12 December 2019).
The focus of the presentation is highlight the potential Adjacent Growth Opportunities when deploying 5G. It can be great opportunity for the operators.
This presentation covers some of the main aspects of the current smart city discussions: definitions, market drivers, analyses and trends as well as best practice examples of what the concept of smart city means in practice. It examines the importance of using data and software to improve and optimise infrastructure (including lighting) performance. It also gives an overview of barriers and obstacles to smart city deployment, and offer some resources and links for further reading.

Every technology goes through a number of transformations during its lifetime. And this is true for the humble lamppost. In Europe there are some 60-90 million of them lining the streets of our cities. And more than 75% of them are 25 years or older. Now is their time: doing more with this modest city asset to ‘bootstrap’ smart city services presents a real and rapid opportunity. What then needs to be done?

Households are happy to join together and provide power flexibility for clima...Leonardo ENERGY
Residential and small commercial electricity consumers will provide most of the flexibility needed in the power system to achieve the energy transition at lower cost. This flexibility will allow the electricity grid to take on more renewables and need less grid reinforcements. Consumers are happy to participate (>75% opt-in rate) via an aggregator and be rewarded with energy savings reducing their electricity. Because it reduces the overall costs of running the energy system, it means that all consumers benefit from lower energy prices. The business case is now proven as more and more countries worldwide ensure demand side response can participate in wholesale markets as an alternative to generation and the EU has provided support through its recent Clean Energy Package. Pierre Bivas from Voltalis will share his experience of operating flexibility from more than 100,000 households in France, and now installing another 150,000, backed by the European Investment Bank, while also developing in other countries with local partners.
This workshop will focus on how this new tool supports innovation in the energy transition and on analysing the innovative experimentation tools available and their application in Europe. A round table with regulatory authorities, companies, and research centres will provide leads on the relevance of Energy Regulatory Sandboxes to facilitate the market launch of innovations helpful to move towards a decarbonized economy. This Workshop runs as part of the European cooperation TR@NSNET project.
Pp ts the smart grid impact on the danish dsos’ business modelZheng Ma
The transformation progress of the smart grid challenges the market players’ business models. One of those market players is the Distribution System Operators (DSOs). This paper aims to elaborate how smart grid influences the DSOs’ business models with case studies of two Danish DSOs – EnergiFyn and TREFOR. The main findings indicate that the Danish smart grid transformation process influences the Danish DSOs’ business models via four smart grid related factors: (1) smart meters, (2) Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), (3) Bidirectional electricity flow, and (4) R&D. Therefore, the results show that the smart grid incrementally not revolutionary influences the Danish DSOs’ business models, and the smart grid transformation of the Danish electricity grid is slower than the agenda of the official Danish smart grid development strategy.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
