This document discusses two new technologies from MineWare:
1. A loader payload management system that uses sensors to calculate payload in real-time and provide operators feedback to better control loading and maximize truck payload. This increases productivity and reduces overloads.
2. A machine terrain mapping system that uses position sensors to generate a real-time map of the excavation and compares it to the design to provide operators feedback on compliance. This improves execution and allows engineers to monitor progress. The system could be expanded to provide additional safety and planning insights.

Time-Predictable Communication in Service-Oriented Architecture - What are th...RealTime-at-Work (RTaW)
Software defined vehicle puts the challenges not only on the computing systems in the vehicle but also on the network. To design a system that can exhibit the required level of determinism for a set of distributed control applications, it is not enough to have a network that is predictable from the timing perspective, one also needs proper real-time scheduling mechanisms in the operating system and in the communication stack, i.e. the interface between the application and the network. In this contribution, we present:
- Overall concept, or what do we mean with a time-predictable system,
- State of the art in deterministic real-time Ethernet communication,
- The real-time scheduling mechanisms commonly used in Automotive,
- Examples of challenging issues and practical use cases that OEMs need to address toward timing predictability in the system.

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.

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).

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.

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!

6. Why Loader Based Payload?
Truck systems not as accurate while loading

• Its real-time!
• Continued calibration of trucks is
difficult
• Some trucks have no weighing
system
• Most accurate truck weighing
occurs on ‘second gear reweigh’
