1) The document discusses how Docker and cloud computing allow applications to be more dynamic by bringing resources online and offline as needed. This dynamic environment requires monitoring the lifecycle of cloud components as they are created and destroyed.
2) Monitoring both the cloud infrastructure and applications is important to understand performance and issues. AWS services monitor the infrastructure components while New Relic provides application monitoring across dynamic infrastructure changes.
3) Both operations and development teams are impacted by dynamic cloud architectures where applications scale resources themselves and components like containers can be short-lived, requiring new monitoring approaches.
Space weather
Space weather refers to changes in the space environment near Earth that are driven by solar activity like solar flares and coronal mass ejections. There are three main types of space weather storms: radio blackouts caused by solar flares that arrive in 8 minutes, radiation storms from energetic particles that arrive within 15 minutes to 24 hours, and geomagnetic storms from coronal mass ejections that arrive within 1 to 4 days. Each type of storm has different effects, affecting systems like radio communications, satellites, power grids, and navigation.
Aurora- earth’s grand show of light
The document is about auroras (the northern and southern lights). It discusses that auroras are caused by collisions between electrons and protons in Earth's atmosphere. Auroras appear as colorful lights in the sky that can be seen in northern and southern latitudes. The colors, such as red, green, yellow, blue and violet, are caused by the types of gas particles and energy levels of electrons. Auroras are related to solar activity from the sun, as solar storms emit particles that interact with Earth's magnetic field.
Study Linking Arctic Sea-Ice Dynamics to Mercury and Ozone Depletion
Mercury and ozone levels were measured on March 24, 2012. Consolidated ice leads to depletion of mercury and ozone, while open leads allow for instant recovery of both mercury and ozone levels.

Economic Aspects of Space Weather on the Power Grid
The document summarizes the potential economic costs of space weather events on the power grid from the perspective of utilities and society. It considers costs for events of different magnitudes: moderate (200A), large (400A), and very large (800A). For utilities, costs include stopping transmission maintenance work, using non-economic dispatch, loss of life or damage to transformers. For society, costs include loss of economic output from a city or region losing power for an extended period. A very large event could cost a utility $80 million and society over $22 billion due to reduced economic activity.
Metr3210 clausius-clapeyron
The document discusses the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which describes how the vaporization/condensation equilibrium point changes as a function of pressure and temperature. It reviews water phases and latent heats, and derives the Clausius-Clapeyron equation from the first and second laws of thermodynamics using a Carnot cycle analysis. The equation relates the change in saturation vapor pressure to the change in temperature based on the latent heat of the phase change. It provides examples of applications including calculating saturation vapor pressure and changes in boiling point with pressure.
U08 External Dynamics
The document discusses various natural processes that shape the Earth's surface over time. It describes how weathering breaks rocks down into sediments through mechanical, chemical and biological means. It then explains different erosional agents like water, wind, glaciers that transport these sediments and deposit them in new locations through processes like sedimentation. It provides examples of specific landforms created by these forces like valleys, deltas, and dunes.
Aurora Borealis
The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is caused by interactions between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field. Solar particles collide with gases in the upper atmosphere between 80-200km above the ground, causing the gases to glow in colorful lights. Common forms of the aurora include curtains, arcs, spirals and diffuse glows. The color of the light depends on the type of gas particle, with oxygen producing green and nitrogen producing red, purple and blue hues. Auroras are best viewed at high latitudes near the Earth's magnetic poles and are more frequent and intense during periods of high solar activity.
Geography 2050
This document discusses how the growth of smartphone usage over time will create an unprecedented digital record of human behavior by 2050. It notes that in 2014 there were 7.3 billion people and 7.6 billion mobile devices, with 56% being smartphones. By 2050, it estimates there will be 9.5 billion people and 18 billion smartphones, generating over 236 quintillion location data points per year, creating a continuous digital record of human routines, customs, and their evolution at global scale. This massive and growing volume of mobile data provides the potential to accurately model and even predict human behavior through analysis of digital records of activity with greater detail and breadth than ever before.
How Neogeography Killed GIS
This document discusses how neogeography has challenged traditional GIS by being more user-centric and focused on personal interaction with place through new technologies. Neogeography empowers users to define their world through location-based applications, social networks, mobile devices, and personal analytics. It has increased accessibility of geospatial data and tools. While GIS remains important infrastructure, neogeography indicates a need for the GIS community to engage more with users, offer expertise without lecturing, and collaborate to solve problems around findability, portability, privacy, accuracy, and interaction. Working together, GIS professionals and neogeographers can build a positive future.
Current Disruptions in Media: Earthquakes or New Openings? Stanford as Catalyst
Across the globe, new word-of-mouth messaging methods are emerging. Many of these involve new technologies. The strategic use of media has become a game changer for both local and global businesses. Traditional media platforms are outpaced by the speed of flash movements as they unfold. Technical discoveries outpace the scientific journals available to announce them. Journalists, entertainers, academics, scientists, and citizens are experimenting with new tools and platforms for content creation, consumption and curation.
When the news about Tahir Square, or Occupy Wall Street or, more recently the Brazilian protests, hit the headlines of newspapers and magazines, they were already outdated. Documentaries were equally incapable of tracking and fully describing these movements. Traditional narratives – and the technologies used to tell them - fall short of accurately portraying the ideas and behaviors that are emerging through new modes of communication. Information travels so fast, that news is no longer "new". Ubiquitous media disintermediates traditional business ecosystems. And every company must take on roles of a media company.
The world of digital content is experiencing an explosion of innovation in both creation and consumption of media. It may well have been consumer applications that ignited the transformation, but business, enterprise and government interests have joined the party. Across the entire innovation ecosystem of media, new technologies and new uses of it by people are creating a sea change in the way people participate and in the responses they expect, Streaming coverage, both amateur and professional – both business and community, is powered by cutting edge technology in combinations of smartphones, 4G, drone cameras and, even, Google Glass can report on events and movements, products and services. The new role of the Chief Digital Officer has emerged in many organizations - to help management bridge the changing roles usually played by Chief Information Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, and Chief Technology Officers.

AI & Electronic WarfareDandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
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.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

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.Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
