Rocket packs on escalators - stop messing with progressive enhancementChristian Heilmann
One of the never-ending debates of web development surrounds the concept of progressive enhancement vs. graceful degradation. With our increased complexity of technology the excuse “but we build apps” keeps thrown around to make our products dependent on many technology layers. The other side of the argument keeps accusing others of breaking the web. Fact is, progressive enhancement is your friend, and it is not that hard to apply it sensibly. In this talk Chris Heilmann of Microsoft will try to ease our confusion and un-block some loggerhead debates. We build things for people and developer convenience should never trump user experience.

Real world SharePoint information governance a case study - publishedAntonioMaio2
Many organizations recognize the need to establish a governance plan in order to “control the chaos” within their SharePoint portals. But, how do businesses truly do this in the real world? How do they develop a plan, and once they have one, put the policies and procedures which make up the plan actually into practice? What are typical challenges and what are real viable solutions? How do you move an organization to a more well-governed state when you already have a large unorganized content repository (SharePoint or otherwise)? How much responsibility do you impose on your business users, and how much do you control centrally? This session will look at solutions to these questions (and more) through two real life case studies: one of a global financial institution and the other of a Fortune 100 energy firm. These case studies will look at how they developed, implemented and promoted information governance policies and how they put them into practice for SharePoint in their enterprises. This session will also look at real software solutions (that you can build) within SharePoint to facilitate a business’ evolution from using a loosely-managed file repository to collaborating within a strongly-governed corporate information portal.

PMO365 - The many faces of Project Management in Office 365Haniel Croitoru
Have you ever wondered if you can effectively manage projects without a dedicated PMIS or other tools that will break the bank? Project Management Systems come in many sizes and forms.

For enterprises that manage large projects this makes sense. But if you’re a small or medium size business who doesn’t have the need for such complexity in your project tracking, Office 365 is a great.
In this presentation I introduce you to Office 365 and the apps that can help you in your day-to-day life as a project lead and discuss when to use what for a variety of use cases.

Accessibility is on the minds of most public sector and many private sector organizations in Ontario, Canada that are creating new or significantly upgrading their existing websites. The government is mandating conformance to strict guidelines defined by WCAG 2.0. Does SharePoint have what it takes to do the job?
In this presentation I provide you with an overview of the Accessibility to Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and its relationship to WCAG 2.0, and outline the key areas that need to be considered when building AODA-compliant sites. Finally I will present results of short experiments I did on SharePoint 2010 and 2013 as it relates to accessibility.

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.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
