Implementing smart meters can be very challenging as the traditionally manual steps are replaced by automated Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems. This can become even more complex as many utilities use multiple AMI vendors and still need to manage many traditional meters during the transition. Figuring out how to put all the puzzle pieces together to successfully achieve the desired results is a challenge for many organizations. This presentation shares the experience a customer had in utilizing Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway to alleviate the complexities.
Topics include
• Why the customer chose Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway
• Benefits of utilizing smart grid, with or without a vendor adapter
• Current state of and future vision
A management information system (MIS) is a computerized database of financial information organized and programmed in such a way that it produces regular reports on operations for every level of management in a company. It is usually also possible to obtain special reports from the system easily. The main purpose of the MIS is to give managers feedback about their own performance; top management can monitor the company as a whole. Information displayed by the MIS typically shows "actual" data over against "planned" results and results from a year before; thus it measures progress against goals. The MIS receives data from company units and functions. Some of the data are collected automatically from computer-linked check-out counters; others are keyed in at periodic intervals. Routine reports are preprogrammed and run at intervals or on demand while others are obtained using built-in query languages; display functions built into the system are used by managers to check on status at desk-side computers connected to the MIS by networks. Many sophisticated systems also monitor and display the performance of the company's stock.

Responding To Continual Energy Market ChangeCTRM Center
The European power and gas industry is currently going through a period of very rapid change that has potentially far reaching consequences. While change is certainly no stranger to the industry, it requires players in the industry to constantly re-evaluate their business process and technology infrastructures in order to adapt and thrive.
The fact that a Meter Data Management (MDM) system is the single, secure repository for the millions of data points collected by an AMI makes it the logical solution for data analytics such as validation, editing and estimation that improve the accuracy of billing information. Yet, as a single-source system of record, the MDM also is the starting point for integration of meter-read data with other enterprise systems to improve real-time efficiency of network operations and business processes.
The MDM with meter modelling components and standardized connectivity can integrate with the utility geodatabase (GIS) and outage management system (OMS) to significantly streamline outage detection and restoration verification.
MDM integrated with the utility supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system or distribution management system (DMS) allows comparison of information at substation/net-stations with aggregated meter data to detect potential theft or network loss during distribution. Similar aggregate comparison helps analyse power quality, identify demand trending and forecast demand. These network analysis capabilities empower accurate asset planning and the utility’s ability to meet demand without adding more capacity.
In all of these enterprise-level functions, MDM integration with the GIS provides valuable visualization that facilitates operator and analyst identification of areas of concern or opportunity.
The real-time network intelligence possible with such a powerful MDM solution can return substantial benefits to several utility operations and business processes — well beyond the initial-level billing accuracy improvement.
Smart edge ioT devices enable utility company to create new business segments...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2015
Nowadays utility companies face the situation that more and more customers equip their houses with energy storage systems trying to become self-sustaining with on-site energy production. Supplying electricity as a business model in this scenario does not work - it is neither sustainable nor extendable any more.</p>
EnBW - one of the biggest European energy supply companies - strikes a new path offering their energy know-how as a service to owners of on-site energy production systems.
EnergyBASE - an intelligent smart edge energy management device - helps to optimize in-house energy flows and to increase the percentage of self-containedness. It provides a self-learning system based on individual power production and personal household consumption characteristics and combines these data with additional external sources like weather data to calculate consumption prognosis in order to optimize in-house energy flows.
The EnergyBASE system consists of an ARM 450 MHz processor with 128 MB RAM and runs an embedded Linux operating system with integrated TCP/IP stack and SQL database. It provides LAN, WiFi and RS485 interfaces. The software stack contains Oracle Java Embedded SE 8 (ported by MicroDoc) and Prosyst mBS Smart Home OSGi.
In this talk we will present our experience using Java Embedded SE 8 and OSGi on an embedded device in a real-life project with demanding needs for computation performance (calculation of mathematical optimization models), handling of big data voluminas, various infrastructure needs (internet, sensors, powerline, housenet) and stability (24/7) requirements.

Benefits of Operating an On-Premises InfrastructureRebekah Rodriguez
Despite the rapid evolution and growth of public cloud usage, enterprises are finding value in on-premises IT infrastructure. As a result, some organizations are moving their workloads back, partially or entirely, to their own data centers. In fact, according to a survey conducted by IDC, over ½ of the IT spent on servers and storage is still driven by on-prem deployments, and over 70% of those surveyed said they plan to repatriate workloads back from public cloud to an On-Prem Infrastructure.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Device and Event Reading: Explain the device read processTakes advantage of Oracle Service BusDifferent HES are translated into a common format for MDMEvents are translated into a common code for usersDevice Commands:Issuing device commands and receiving a response from the HES is supported through two-way communications, often using MultiSpeak. As the diagram below demonstrates, the communication process may be initiated from an external application such as CC&B or OMS. Users might initiate commands from the MDM user interface; SGG will send messages for the commands and the HES will receive and perform the command using a MultiSpeak protocol. The HES will respond with an acknowledgement of the command and the eventual response from the device.Along with Oracle Fusion Middleware, SGG will be configured to direct the command processing of the device commands using BPEL. This section describes general design factors of the device commands that a client may utilize and future sections will focus on details specific to a respective command.
Describe SGG’s place in the enterprise solution
SGG provides productized integration to expedite the development process, including specific adapters for MV90 and future adapters for Elster HES integration.Other Adapters include Echelon, L&G, with others to come: Sensus, Silver Springs, etc…Support for productized adapters, including upgrades of HESAs AMI formats change, every integration must changeResults of new HES or HES upgradeInteroperability, easy to upgrade and maintainAdapters are not just for a HES: OMS, CCB, MWM, etc…Customer Validation Program: Another client was very interested in participating in the Customer Validation Process and having some input into the productized specific HES adapter. Working with Oracle we have exchange information on our requirements and design to ensure that, even using the generic adapter, we were designing a solution to incorporate best practice and Oracle’s relationship with the AMI provider.On a technical level, additional Middleware configuration, such as JMS Queue properties and locations, are preconfigured with the productFusion Middleware is SOA-based for reuse
SGG is installed on top of the MDM UI, meaning that it does not require its own application environment.Sharing a UI with MDM, users can seamlessly activate the SGG UI to schedule and execute device commands by browsing to the device.The execution of device commands will be made either by an authenticated user or on demand by an external application via the SGG exposed web service.Command tracking and device activity logging is easily accessed directly by navigating to the device with MDM.Each command executed against a device is loggedThis view of the device is a benefit of the direct integration with MDMDevices based on generic adapters as well as custom adapters will both be presented in this mannerCommand exceptions are easily identified within the UI and can be configured to be handled with auto-retries or user assignment.Commands that return errors can be manually, or automatically resubmittedComplete tracking information for command displayed; transaction id, current status recipient, execution date
GMP has decided to build in-house adapters, using the generic adapter as a template. There is value in purchasing the generic adapter for this purpose because the templates do provide much of the best practice business configuration. Without this, GMP would have had to devote additional time identifying a series of business requirements for technologies that are new to GMP. Now, we build to execute modified business processes around meter commands. In addition, this is an investment in the product roadmap; it would be completely unfeasible to keep up with the development that Oracle will be investing into the product.As a SI, there is a different prospective for requirements gathering, design, and development. While the generic adapter does product a set of templates for creating a customer specific adapter, there remains the need to “create” these objects.
WSDLsCan be difficult to get access to vendor development teams and defined vendor roadmaps
GMP will use the SGG generic adapter to process events from the Elster HES. Upon receipt of a device event, SGG will transform and deliver the device event to MDM in a standardized format. MDM will then save the event and using customized exception handling, notify specific users of the event.We have another client that is implementing a similar project that has a more intricate handling of device level event, both at a meter level and otherwise. From a device level, as the HES delivers an event through SGG, the solution will transform the event into a standard event code and follow a number of different process paths: Assign an exception to specific users, create a field activity in another edge application, forward the event to OMS, or simply log the event on the device with no additional action.
