CCUS Roadmap for Mexico - presentation by M. Vita Peralta Martínez (IIE - Electric Research Institute, Mexico) for the UKCCSRC, Edinburgh, 13 November 2015
This document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the role of the Zero Emission Platform (ZEP) coalition in enabling widespread CCS deployment. ZEP aims to make CCS commercially available by 2020 by supporting the EU CCS demonstration program, developing CO2 storage and transport infrastructure, and conducting research. However, CCS deployment is threatened by a weak carbon price in the EU emissions trading system. ZEP is working to strengthen the business case for CCS and ensure successful demonstration projects and long-term deployment through knowledge sharing and recommendations to policymakers.
This presentation will cover the extensive application of hydraulic modelling on the national Catchment-based Flood Risk Assessment & Management (CFRAM) programme, as well as discussing the likely future modelling requirements for the detailed development of over 100 flood relief schemes programmed over the coming decade.

EMIRI Tech Talk on Batteries for Energy Storage - Assessment of potential bottlenecks along the materials supply chain for the future deployment of low-carbon energy and transport technologies in the EU with a focus on batteries
The document discusses the compensated gross tonnes (CGT) system used to measure shipbuilding output. It provides background on the initial development and revisions of the CGT system over time. Specifically, it describes the current CGT formula adopted in 2007 that relates CGT to a ship's gross tonnage and accounts for ship type and size. However, some argue the system has limitations for measuring more complex vessels like offshore and mega-yachts. The document raises issues for discussion around revising the CGT system to better reflect the workload of different ship types.

The key SOS operations including GetCapabilities, DescribeSensor, and GetObservation are described. Examples of deployed SOS and benefits of the standards for sensor data sharing are also mentioned.
Geospatial Data and Key Characteristics of Geospatial Data Analysis and ScienceLuis Bermudez
The growing complexity and interdisciplinarity of research and applied science questions requires the developments of standards to exchange data within continuously growing communities as well as across domains. In most domains, geo-spatial data is the fundamental base layer for data science and analysis, as the vast majority have some spatial characteristics or apply to elements in space. Using the available standards, a good level of interoperability can already be realized. Nevertheless, the increasing complexity of research questions, the growing number of available data, and the increasing range of data providers, ranging from citizen scientists to fully automated sensor networks making their data directly available at the Internet, require even richer models that need to be developed to enhance the level of interoperability.
Evolution of System Architectures: Where Do We Need to Fail Next?Luis Bermudez
Innovation requires testing and failing. Thomas Edison was right when he said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". For innovation and improvement of standards to happen, service Architectures have to be tested and tested. Within the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), testing of service architectures has occurred for the last 15 years. This talk will present an evolution of these service architectures and a possible future path.
Validation of services, data and metadataLuis Bermudez
Now days organizations are making available data (e.g. vector data, rasters) via web services, that follow open standards and are easier to integrate with other data. Validation of these services is important to guarantee that clients (e.g. web portals, mobile applications) can properly discover and download the data that a user needs. Validation can also serve as curation process to improve discovery on registries [1][2] or for certification purposes [3]. This session will provide an overview and a demo of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Validation tools. The participants will understand how to invoke a test and install the tools in their own environment. The validation tools are used to test servers, data and clients. The tests can be customized to not only test implementations against OGC standards but also community profiles. The validation engine and the tests are available as open source in GitHub.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

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.
