Architectures for Cyber-Physical Systems, or Why Ivan Doesn’t Want to GraduateIvan Ruchkin
A fresh multidisciplinary research and engineering area of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) lies on an intersection of more traditional fields, like mechanical and electrical engineering, and newer approaches from AI, ubiquitous computing, and software engineering. Although modeling is a core method in these areas, the concrete mindsets and methods for it are very diverse, which makes system-level reasoning across models more complicated. For instance, it is difficult to predict how smoothing a control algorithm represented in Simulink would affect schedulability guarantees provided by a rate-monotonic analysis model. Conveniently, software architecture is well-known for reconciling concerns by loosening up model semantics, which makes it a promising tool for model-based design of CPSs. This talk discusses several examples from the automotive and robotics domains to expose the challenges of using heterogeneous models and how software architecture might help alleviate those. All these considerations will be linked to the mysterious second part of the title.
Wireless Networked Control Systems (WNCSs) are spatially distributed systems in which sensors, actuators, and controllers connect through a wireless network instead of traditional point-to-point links. WNCSs have a tremendous potential to improve the efficiency of many large-scale distributed systems in industrial automation, building automation, automated highway, air transportation, and smart grid. Transmitting sensor measurements and control commands over wireless links provide many benefits such as the ease of installation and maintenance, low complexity and cost, and large flexibility to accommodate the modification and upgrade of the components in many control applications. Several industrial organizations, such as International Society of Automation (ISA), Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART), and Wireless In- dustrial Networking Alliance (WINA), have been actively pushing the application of wireless technologies in the control applications. Building a WNCS is very challenging since control systems often have stringent requirements on timing and reliability, which are difficult to attain by wireless sensor networks due to the adverse properties of the wireless communication and limited battery resources of the nodes. We provide a framework for the joint optimization of controller and communication systems encompassing efficient abstractions of both systems.

Politics & Regulation: How They Help or Ruin the Tech EntrepreneurOlaf Cramme
1. Tech entrepreneurs face critical questions around the regulatory environment, pushing boundaries, and government support for innovation. The role of government is to drive innovation within the public sector, mitigate risks of new technologies, and create policies that stimulate private sector innovation.
2. Regulations and policies exist at the national and international levels to govern emerging technologies. There is a challenge in developing regulation that remains flexible enough to accommodate continuous innovation without becoming outdated.
3. Both opportunities and challenges exist when government engages with technological innovation. Government may lack private sector expertise, have different timelines than industry, and face political pressures, but can also support innovation through funding, test beds, standards, and skills training.
This document summarizes research on measuring the contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to economic growth. Some key findings:
1. ICT investment and ICT capital contribution to output and productivity growth peaked in the late 1990s and slowed after 2000, though emerging economies increased their ICT investment share.
2. Emerging economies have a higher share of telecom capital than advanced economies, likely due to mobile technology leapfrogging fixed lines.
3. Advanced economies still have much higher ICT capital per worker than emerging economies, but show weaker growth relationships, possibly due to diminishing returns.

Response#1(Leburu)
Internet of Things (IoT):
The digital space has undergone major changes over the past two years and will continue to evolve, according to industry experts. The last entry in digital space is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can also be defined as an interaction between the software, telecommunications and electronic devices industries and promises to offer enormous opportunities for many sectors. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), powered by sensors that will soon be available for billions of dollars, that will work with billions of intelligent systems and cover millions of applications, the Internet of Things will ignite a spark. Launch new consumer and business behaviors requiring increasingly intelligent industrial solutions, which in turn create billions of dollars of opportunities for the IT industry and even more for companies that benefit from the Internet of Things. (Shackelford, S. 2020).
The Internet of Things has three distinct parts: Sensors that collect data (including sensor / device identifier and address), Decision-making and data transfer to decision servers, An application that collects and analyzes this data for greater integration.
Big data analytics and mechanisms can be used to make decisions. Several countries, such as the United States, South Korea and China, have taken the will to exploit the Internet. The main players in IoT initiatives are citizens, governments, and industry. Participation and cooperation of all interested parties at an appropriate time. At this point, we require instructions to link and select key areas, then emphasize the answers to the accumulation, The Internet of Things needs to have a clear strategy and follow a simple goal with the Value-Added and Reduce-cost models. With industry associations, experience in global forums, knowledge of other major IoT countries, and the active participation of global partners, we can promote an approach. More creative based on innovation. The key to the success of the Internet lies in the development of open platforms for scalable, easy-to-use and inexpensive models and citizens, such as sensors. Data should be clearly collected and shared between functions to maximize benefits.
Lack Of Compliance On The Part Of IoT Manufacturers:
New IoT devices come out almost daily, all with undiscovered vulnerabilities. The primary source of most IoT security issues is that manufacturers do not spend enough time and resources on security.
For example, most fitness trackers with Bluetooth remain visible after the first pairing, a smart ref.
World Future Society talk on Work/Technologh Global 2050 scenariosJerome Glenn
This document outlines three potential global scenarios for the future of work and technology in 2050 based on an international study. Scenario 1 is a mixed outcome where new technologies are adopted irregularly, leading to high unemployment in some areas. Scenario 2 involves political and economic turmoil as governments fail to address widespread job loss from new technologies. Scenario 3 envisions governments implementing universal basic income and promoting self-employment, allowing a transition to a "self-actualization economy." The study involved experts from over 45 countries developing the scenarios and discussing strategies for education, government, business, and culture. National workshops were held to stimulate long-term strategic thinking about managing technological change and its impacts on employment.

- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.

The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte WebinarZilliz
This talk will focus on how to collect data from a variety of sources, leveraging this data for RAG and other GenAI use cases, and finally charting your course to productionalization.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

25.Are there IoT policy areas that could be appropriate for multi-stakeholder engagement, similar to the NTIA-run processes on
privacy and cybersecurity?
26.What role should the Department of Commerce play within the federal government in helping to address the challenges and
opportunities of IoT? How can the Department of Commerce best collaborate with stakeholders on IoT matters?
27.How should government and the private sector collaborate to ensure that infrastructure, policy, technology, and investment
are working together to best fuel IoT growth and development? Would an overarching strategy, such as those deployed in
other countries, be useful in this space? If the answer is yes, what should that strategy entail?
28. What are any additional relevant issues not raised above, and what role, if any, should the Department of Commerce and,
more generally, the federal government play in addressing them?

First, the United States should forbear from regulating IoT and avoid reflexively
extending legacy regulations designed for outdated technologies to the IoT.
Second, the U.S. government should support and promote industry alignment around
interoperable, industry-led specifications and standards across the global IoT ecosystem.
Third, the U.S. government should promote the allocation of globally harmonized
spectrum that can support IoT.
Fourth, the U.S. government should encourage industry to build trust into IoT devices.
Existing laws and regulations, operating in tandem with self-regulatory regimes and best
practices, will provide sufficient protection to consumers as the IoT develops.
Finally, the U.S. government should engage on a bilateral and multilateral basis, as
appropriate, to ensure that international IoT activities similarly encourage competition,
investment, and innovation. Regulatory interference at this stage from any source could
lead to fragmentation and impede innovation, inhibiting the IoT’s ability to reach its full
potential to deliver benefits to consumers.

68. IBM
1. Governments should adopt a “wait-and-see” approach before introducing any
IoT-specific regulation.
2. Policymakers should encourage security and privacy by design, not only to
promote flexibility in creating IoT solutions but also to optimize security and
privacy protections. Government should not mandate the details of such
implementations.
3. Governments should protect the free flow of data to support the growth of IoT.
4.“Open” is key for IoT adoption.
5. Promote innovation and competition

NTIA SHOULD ESTABLISH PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE THE GOVERNMENT’S
APPROACH TO IOT
A.The green paper should encourage the preemption of agency-by-agency, sectorial
regulation through the principle of tech neutrality
B.The green paper should include a principle on process outcomes for security
and privacy
C.The green paper should include a principle establishing that privacy protections
must be based upon the sensitivity of information.
D.The green paper should include a principle of flexibility for future use of IoT data
The principles should be developed by the Internet Policy Task Force
The Department of Commerce should initiate a dialogue to reduce international
barriers to IoT deployment and use.

IT IS FAR TOO EARLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS TO
CONTEMPLATE GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION.
IT IS NOT TOO SOON FOR GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
USABLE SPECTRUM FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS.
Thursday, June 9, 16
98. Nest Labs, Inc.
First, Nest recommends that the Department keep in mind(and encourage other
governmental actors to keep in mind ) the tremendous benefits - present and future - of
connected technologies.
Second, the Department should continue to promote public-private collaboration Projects
like NIST's Smart Fire Fighting Initiative, and its work on cyber-physical systems are already
exploring and clarifying and demonstrating new use cases for connected technologies
Third, the Department should promote, through its own efforts and by its interactions with
other government actors, a pro-innovatiion climate
Fourth, the Department should help regulators at all levels remain appropriately cautious of
seemingly benign rules that entrench lower-functioning products or are not technology-
neutral
Fifth, government should allow private actors to determine the standards that will allow IoT
technologies to reach their potential, recognizing that the process may take some time.
Thursday, June 9, 16
110. Qualcomm Incorporated
First and foremost, NTIA, the FCC, and the federal agencies with spectrum needs
should redouble their efforts to free up additional spectrum resources that can be
used for the IoT and other types of wireless applications and services.
Second, to best support successful IoT growth, the U.S. Government should
maintain its policy of technology neutrality to facilitate the virtuous cycle of
innovation fueling the mobile revolution.
Third, the U.S. Government should continue to support industry-led
standardization processes to continue U.S. technology leadership on IoT.
Fourth, Qualcomm encourages NTIA and other U.S. government agencies to
continue their dialogue and engagement with their counterpart agencies in other
countries, with particular emphasis on the aforementioned priorities of spectrum
allocation, industry-led standards, and pro-competitive investment policies
Finally, the U.S. Government should continue to enact policies that support
investment in IoT technology development and streamline the deployment of
wireless infrastructure for IoT by reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens.

Here's two quick sample comments from the above article as well.
You need to reign in these kinds of abuses if you want IoT to grow:
1:
"Legislation - Unfortunately, legislation for crap like this doesn't exist.
I don't mind the fact most politicians are ignorant when it comes to
technology, but their job is to protect us. So they should at least hire
some tech experts and advisors.
When it comes to anything dealing with technology, they are way behind and
only do something after a large number of people have been badly affected
in some way.
Try to keep this in mind the next time you vote. :)"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
2:
"I'm glad my cell phone isn't smart...
There does seem to be a trend to this.. We keep your data. We own
everything on your phone. We're always watching. We will "share" (let's be
honest and change that to "we will sell") your data. And we'll change the
EULA anytime we feel like it an never tell you.
I keep hoping that users will start getting a clue and just say "no, we're
not going to use this since you're spying on us". Maybe if enough users
would, the companies would get a clue and change their ways before they go
bankrupt."
