PREDICTING THE TIME OF OBLIVIOUS PROGRAMS
The BSP model can be extended with a zero cost synchronization mechanism, which can be used when the number of messages due to receives is known. This mechanism, usually known as "oblivious synchronization" implies that different processors can be in different supersteps at the same time. An unwanted consequence of these software improvements is a loss of accuracy in prediction. This paper proposes an extension of the BSP complexity model to deal with oblivious barriers and shows its accuracy.

This document discusses a chart that can be used to convert compensated neutron log porosity readings from one rock type to another, specifically from limestone to quartz sandstone or dolomite. The chart shows curves for different formation salinities that allow deriving the true porosity of an indicated matrix material like quartz sandstone from the apparent limestone neutron porosity reading. An example is given where a compensated neutron log reads 18 porosity units for an apparent limestone reading, but in a pure quartz sandstone formation with 250,000 parts per million salinity, the true porosity would be 24 units.

This document introduces OpenHistoricalMap.org (OHM), a project to map historical objects and places in OpenStreetMap. OHM maintains a separate database from OSM to store historical data with start and end dates. Examples are given of areas mapped in both historical and current times. Contributors can add historical data by importing archive data from OSM, tracing from historical maps, or directly editing in OHM with normal OSM tags plus start/end dates. Future goals include more map layers, timesliders, and better tracing tools to make OHM data more accessible and usable.
Fosdem 2010 GT.M and OpenStreetMap
This document discusses using the GT.M database to store and query geospatial data from OpenStreetMap. It describes how OpenStreetMap contains large amounts of map data that is currently stored in PostgreSQL but could benefit from GT.M's capabilities for querying data by tag or spatial area more efficiently. The document provides examples of how the OpenStreetMap data schema could be represented within GT.M using its key-value data storage model and indexing capabilities.
Lost In The Clouds
This document summarizes OpenStreetMap, a free editable map of the world created by volunteers. OpenStreetMap data is stored on a cloud-based database server containing over 300 million nodes and 3.6 billion tags. The XAPI service provides a RESTful API for querying OpenStreetMap data in chunks up to 100 square degrees using tags and indexes. It currently runs on 5 server instances around the world but needs more to scale to increased usage.

Incremental and parallel computation of structural graph summaries for evolvi...
This document presents an incremental and parallel algorithm for computing structural graph summaries of evolving graphs. The algorithm incrementally updates graph summaries when the input graph changes, which is often faster than recomputing from scratch. The algorithm partitions the graph and computes summaries in parallel. Experimental results on real-world and benchmark graphs show the incremental algorithm outperforms batch computation even when 50% of the graph changes. The algorithm runs in linear time with respect to graph changes and degree.
Toy Model Overview
This document provides an overview of a toy model for simulating particle collisions. It describes sampling particle data from experimental measurements to generate events. A jet finding algorithm is used to cluster particles into jets using FastJet. The current status indicates particle generation works as expected but jet finding results appear buggy. Next steps involve analyzing jet distributions and performance of the jet finder on simulated events without embedded jets. Possible extensions include jet fragmentation.
Extreme JavaScript Minification and Obfuscation
This document summarizes techniques for extreme minification and obfuscation of JavaScript code. It details steps like stripping comments and whitespace, replacing variable and member names with encoded values, and encoding keywords to reduce a 359kb file size down to 111kb while making the code unreadable. Benchmark results show this outperforms other common compilers in file size reduction but results in code that no longer runs properly. Compressing the minified file further saves an additional 7kb.
ICOS Carbon Data Portal
The document describes the ICOS Carbon Data Portal, which allows users to search, download, and view carbon and greenhouse gas data from different file formats. It includes components for converting between CSV, XLS, TXT, and netCDF file formats and storing data in a THREDDS data repository with access via OPeNDAP, NCML, WCS, and WMS. Users can search metadata through a GeoNetwork catalog using ISO 19139 and harvest data from different sources. The portal includes documentation, a static web interface, and a JavaScript client to access the data.
Introduction to STILT – an on-demand CO2 footprint calculator service
The document introduces STILT, a Lagrangian atmospheric transport model used to calculate carbon dioxide (CO2) footprints and sensitivities at ICOS atmospheric measurement stations. STILT runs are split into small jobs that are distributed across multiple virtual machines (VMs) in a cloud computing environment. While most components of the distributed STILT workflow have been tested, further work is needed to optimize the model code for parallel processing, initialize multiple worker VMs, address storage issues, and develop metadata and output visualization capabilities before the system can operate fully. A demonstration illustrates how a user could run STILT to model CO2 concentrations and contributing sources and sinks for a hypothetical station in Vienna.
SCaml compiler
- SCaml is a compiler that takes OCaml code as input and outputs Michelson smart contract code. It is a strict subset of OCaml without many features like recursion, polymorphism, or mutability in order to keep contracts secure and small.
- The compiler reuses OCaml's parser and type checker and compiles the typed AST directly to Michelson. It supports all Michelson opcodes except CREATE_CONTRACT and does some optimizations.
- Being a strict subset of OCaml means programmers can use familiar OCaml patterns and many existing OCaml tools while targeting smart contracts on Tezos. Future work may include pattern matching and user-defined types while keeping the compiler small.
Java script
JavaScript was created in 1995 by Brendan Eich at Netscape. It has gone through many versions and specifications over the years as its usage on the modern web has increased. JavaScript now powers much of what happens on the client-side of websites and web applications. While JavaScript was initially created in only 10 days, it has evolved significantly and become a complex language that continues to change and expand its capabilities. Learning JavaScript requires understanding its history and changes over time as well as developing a broad set of skills in front-end web development.
OpenHistoricMap: overview
OpenHistoricalMap (OHM) is a project to create an open historical map of the world based on OpenStreetMap. It allows users to add vector map data with temporal metadata to depict locations and changes over time. Current efforts include georeferencing old maps, adding vector data in the editor, developing time-slider and rendering tools, and addressing challenges around data volumes, temporality, and map generation. The goal is to create a comprehensive open repository of historical geographic information.
What happened?
The document summarizes a project to extract dates from Czech Wikipedia articles and provide them through a web application and iGoogle gadget. Key points include:
- The project automatically downloads Wikipedia dumps, converts pages to a structured format, and builds a category hierarchy.
- Date extraction uses regular expressions to identify dates in various formats, along with tools like Flex and Bison to handle Unicode characters.
- Extracted dates from 10,000 BC to 2500 AC are represented as simple tuples and stored in a MySQL database.
- A PHP/Nette web application and iGoogle gadget were created to provide the dates through HTML, JSON, and XML outputs.
- Future work aims to improve performance
Oss vs drive test pdcp throughput
1) A throughput testing was conducted using OSS and drive test methods on site LBHWL22 to compare the results.
2) Using multiple FTP sessions, throughput was measured every 15 minutes over 1 hour for a UE on the site.
3) The results showed that the drive test throughput was slightly higher than the OSS throughput, but both followed the same trend over time.
Analysing OpenStreetMap Data with QGIS
Jerry Clough presents techniques for analyzing OpenStreetMap data using QGIS. He discusses using OSM data to simulate the European Urban Atlas project and mapping retail locations. Case studies include analyzing pub density in Britain, simulating land use classification, and tracking street light mapping. Challenges with OSM data like polygon overlaps and tagging variations are also covered.
Where in the world is Franz Kafka? | Will LaForest, Confluent
Apache Kafka is the de-facto standard for event streaming and creating data pipelines that can feed a variety of different tools. It is very common for the data to have geospatial characteristics but to date there has been relatively little work done around how to leverage this natively in Kafka. The common approach is to just dump all the data into some geospatial store or toolset and do retrospective analysis and queries. This of course loses all the advantages of handling it in realtime before it ever goes to an external tool. In this talk I will discuss the creation and demonstrate the usage of geospatial UDFs in ksqlDB. I will also talk through the advantages of doing geospatial processing directly in Apache Kafka.
Slide smallfiles
The document proposes a solution to replace inode-based storage with a key-value store mapping objects directly to positions in large "volumes" or files to address scalability issues. It benchmarks significantly better performance for puts, gets, and concurrent operations compared to an XFS filesystem, using less RAM and avoiding compaction costs. Open tasks include replication, erasure coding, and testing on object servers.

It's Grim Up North
This document discusses capturing and analyzing vernacular or informal geographic descriptions that people commonly use, such as "up north" or "dog shit alley", which often convey socioeconomic or safety-related information. These types of vague, qualitative place references are more natural for people compared to precise coordinates but pose challenges to define and measure systematically. The document proposes methods like fuzzy logic and sets to account for blurred boundaries and internal variations within vernacular areas. Capturing these perceptions could provide rich geographic data for various planning and research purposes.

OpenStreetMap and Geospatial Ruby Tim Waters sheffield ruby user group july 2...
OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It was founded in 2004 in response to expensive licensing of Ordnance Survey data. Users can map areas by collecting GPS data or editing existing maps. The data is openly licensed and used in many applications. OpenStreetMap has over a million users who have collected billions of GPS points to map nodes, ways and areas using a folksonomy tagging scheme. The data can be accessed through the website, API or exports and rendered into maps using tools like Ruby libraries, PostGIS, and Mapnik.

Space place psychogeography - foss4g 2013
This document discusses the concept of psychogeography and situationist practices related to exploring and mapping one's surroundings. It covers theories put forth by Guy Debord and the Situationists on deriving meaning from one's environment and how architecture can influence behavior. Specific situationist techniques are mentioned like the dérive, which involves drifting through an area and mapping psychogeographical features. Examples are given of alternative mapping projects that apply these ideas like mapping unusual or subjective attributes of places. The document advocates exploring one's surroundings through playful derivation to gain new perspectives and insights.
The map is not whats there - psychogeography and openstreetmap
This document discusses the concept of psychogeography and mapping. It provides an overview of psychogeography as defined by Situationists like Debord, involving deriving or drifting through varied urban environments and being aware of how places shape interactions. It discusses different types of psychogeography and gives examples of related practices like urban exploration, parkour and mapping community spaces. The document emphasizes that maps reflect the interests of their creators and can be used to argue perspectives or identify things worth advocating for. It encourages participants to go outside in small groups and engage in informal mapping activities.

Psychogeography tim waters wherecampEU 2012
Psychogeography is the study of how geographic environments influence individuals' emotions and behaviors. It involves exploring landscapes in unconventional ways to gain unique perspectives. Techniques include deriving, which involves drifting through an area without a fixed route or purpose. The Situationists in 1950s Paris were early practitioners of psychogeography and deriving as a way to transform perceptions of places and everyday life. Modern interest has revived with groups conducting psychogeographic walks and events to re-experience urban environments. Mobile apps now offer new ways to engage in psychogeographic mapping and storytelling about places.

It has three main components: 1) A user input tool that lets users spray fuzzy areas on a map and tag attributes. 2) A storage and weighting tool that aggregates inputs from multiple users. 3) A querying tool that represents the aggregated data and allows searching tagged comments based on perceived importance. The tool was developed to capture everyday geography like areas people perceive as "nice" or having "high crime", which usually have vague boundaries and vary within.
Mapping The Fear of Crime
Presentation about a new mapping tool to help map vernacular geographies, with the example of mapping the fear of crime, in Keighley, West Yorkshire
Soc map rectification_tools_2011
The document discusses crowdsourcing the georectification of historical maps by having people trace over digitized maps online. It provides context that while crowdsourcing work to users can build a site, companies must also provide structure for users to collaborate. Examples are given of past mapping projects that used crowdsourcing as well as technical steps to georectify maps and tools that can be used.
Community Analytics on the GeoWeb
This document discusses community analytics on the GeoWeb and outlines challenges and opportunities for collaborative analysis of big, real-time, linked geospatial data. It proposes creating web-based platforms to make analytics easy, powerful, collaborative and traceable for decision makers and the general public. The goal is to enable people to work together to analyze information and draw more informed conclusions, as was done for disaster relief in Haiti, by addressing issues around data volume, sharing models and keeping analyses extendable and improving over time.
Psychogeography at geekup leeds
Psychogeography is the study of how geography and the built environment can influence human emotions, behavior, and perceptions. It involves exploring and mapping an area using techniques like deriving (drifting through an area) to experience places in unique ways and transform perceptions. The concept originated with the Situationists in 1950s Paris and has since inspired various groups and individuals to map areas while cultivating unusual perspectives on places through activities like psychogeographic walks.
OpenStreetMap - Case Study Haiti Crisis Response
This document discusses how OpenStreetMap data and volunteers helped respond to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It describes how within a week of the earthquake, over 700 volunteers had mapped Haiti using satellite imagery. The highly detailed maps helped first responders locate roads, buildings, and camps. Damage assessments were also mapped. The UN noted that mapping Haiti normally would have taken years but OSM did it in just 3 weeks. OSM data continues to help with ongoing crisis response and reconstruction efforts in Haiti through tools like the Humanitarian Data Model and deployments of the OSM Humanitarian Team.
Psychogeography. Guest talk at Leeds University
Psychogeography is the study of how geography and the built environment influence human emotions and behavior. It began in the 1950s with the Situationist International group in France who saw it as a way to critique modern capitalist cities. Some key practices of psychogeography include the derive, where one explores an area by drifting aimlessly and observing how the environment shapes their movements and perceptions. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in psychogeography through community mapping projects, guided walks, and sharing experiences of places online.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:

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).
