This document discusses scaling energy connections between buildings, cities, and vehicles. It argues that energy systems need to be interconnected and optimized at a larger, system-wide scale to reduce carbon emissions and create healthier communities. Currently, electricity, thermal energy, and liquid fuels are mostly fossil-based. The future state involves renewable-based electric systems and converting thermal and liquid fuels to electric. Challenges include transitioning utilities to a new business model focused on services instead of commodities and scaling efficiency and renewables significantly. Urban design also needs to anticipate future optimization at a larger scale beyond individual buildings. Current projects in Fort Collins aim to demonstrate smart energy systems, drive adoption of electric vehicles, and get ahead of transportation electrification.

Giles Perkins, technical director in future mobility, WSP
This document discusses new mobility trends and their implications. It notes that autonomous, electric, and shared vehicles will profoundly transform transportation and cities over the next century. This change will provide economic benefits but also challenges, including adjusting highway, building, and urban designs. Logistics operations will need to adapt to new delivery and customer needs. Stakeholders must think carefully about how to best achieve meaningful outcomes through these new technologies, such as improving safety, access, efficiency and sustainability rather than just adopting them for their own sake.
Towards a science of cities
1. The document discusses the development of a "science of cities" approach that uses data collection, integration, modeling and analytics to better understand and manage urban systems in a sustainable way.
2. It provides examples of instrumenting cities to collect real-time data from sensors and using that data, along with historical data, to create models and insights that can support decisions around transportation, energy, environment, and other urban systems.
3. The document outlines challenges for taking a global systems science approach to urban systems, such as formally representing the components and interactions within cities, integrating data across different domains and spatial/temporal scales, and understanding cities as complex, resource-consuming systems aimed at certain outcomes.
Disruptive technologies (2)
Electric vehicles are becoming more disruptive as their technology advances. While they currently have some disadvantages compared to gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles are better for the environment by producing no tailpipe emissions and less noise pollution. Maintenance costs are also generally lower since electric vehicles have fewer moving parts. The cost of fueling electric vehicles with electricity is significantly less than gasoline. However, electric vehicles still face challenges with limited range and incomplete infrastructure for refueling and service support compared to gasoline vehicles. As technology progresses, the attributes of electric vehicles are expected to continue improving and potentially surpass gasoline vehicles.

20091202
This document discusses the history and development of electric and hybrid vehicles. It begins by covering early electric cars in the 1900s which were clean and easy to use but had limited range. Early hybrid cars from 1900 combined the advantages of electric drives with longer range by adding gasoline engines. Gasoline cars became dominant from the 1920s due to their low costs, mass production, and performance. Interest in electric vehicles revived in the 1960s and hybrids reemerged in the 1970s as battery and electronics technology advanced. The modern hybrid designs of Toyota and Honda combine gasoline engines with electric motors and batteries to improve efficiency and reduce emissions compared to conventional vehicles. The document discusses the energy storage challenges of batteries compared to liquid fuels and outlines the

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 Fuzzing
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
