The document discusses facilitating incident management response through improved situational awareness using multimedia technologies. It describes how situational awareness originally referred to a pilot's tactical awareness but now means comprehending observations through additional context. It argues that public safety systems need to integrate data in real-time to provide responders with a shared operational picture. A geospatial visualization of integrated information sources could help facilitate rapid decision making during incidents.
Context-aware systems represent extremely complex and heterogeneous systems. The need for middleware to bind components together is well recognized and many attempts to build middleware for context-aware systems have been made.
We provide a general introduction about the evolution of the middlewares and then we proceed with an analysis of the requirements and the issues for context-aware middleware.
Ubiquitous computing will surround users
with a comfortable and convenient information environment and a smart
space that merges physical and computational infrastructures into an integrated
habitat. This habitat will feature a proliferation of hundreds or thousands of
computing devices and sensors that will provide new functionality, offer specialized
services, and boost productivity
and interaction among the devices and
the
users.
In the cloud, data is not tied to one server or even one group of servers, and it can be accessed from multiple devices simultaneously. To protect data, therefore, security solutions must shift from defense of a fixed perimeter towards an approach that protects the data as it travels from physical to virtual to cloud environments.
In the post-PC era, Trend Micro envisions a smart, data-centric security framework that advances the capabilities of our cloud-based Smart Protection Network™, adds smarter threat protection that correlates local threat intelligence; smarter data protection that follows and protects your data; and unified security management that increases visibility into data access and potential attacks.

Presentatie van Frederik Lamote tijdens het Innovatiefestival van Socius (22 mei 2014).
Meer dan ooit zijn onze steden laboratoria geworden voor sociaal culturele praktijken. De stad is niet langer een afgebakend ruimtelijk geheel, maar is veranderd in een complex knooppunt van veelzijdige sociale, economische, culturele en politieke netwerken. Op knoop- en snijpunten van deze netwerken ontstaan veel inspirerende en experimentele sociaal-culturele praktijken. Echter, het potentieel van deze praktijken wordt niet altijd gerealiseerd. Een duurzaam draagvalk ontbreekt.
Met Growfunding/BXL heeft de onderzoeksgroep MIRO (gegroeid uit de opleiding Sociaal Werk aan de HUBrussel) een instrument ontwikkeld om een sociaal en financieel draagvalk te creëren voor kleinschalige initiatieven in de stad. Eerder dan een crowdfundingplatform is Growfunding/BXL in de eerste plaats een innovatief participatie-instrument op maat van de grootstad. Deze lezing gaat dieper in op growfunding én schuift de stad als context voor innovatie en sociaal-cultureel werk naar voor.

NEC Digital Platform - Touchless Technologies for Federal AgenciesInteractiveNEC
The global pandemic has changed the paradigm of our way of life. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals, businesses, and governments have been forced to radically change their views on keeping themselves, their employees, and the general public safe. Our daily routines now revolve around the challenge of preventing the spread of COVID-19 and any future pandemics through touchless interactions, personal protective equipment (PPE), social distancing, and complying with CDC and FDA guidelines.
United States federal agencies have the unprecedented challenge of evolving their operations to align with new health guidelines and to minimize the impact on both its workforce and the people they serve. Agencies must reevaluate their operations, procedures and workforce applications to establish both short- and long-term strategies for providing services in a post-COVID world. In environments with tight budgets, tight resources and increasing demands, strategies always require the use of technology as a cost-effective force-multiplier.

Cloud Forensics: Drawbacks in Current Methodologies and Proposed SolutionIJERA Editor
Cloud Computing is a heavily evolving domain in technology. Many public and private entities are shifting their workstations on the cloud due to its robust, remote, virtual environment. Due to the enormity of this domain, it has become increasingly easier to carry out any sort of malicious attacks on such cloud platforms. There is a very low research done to develop the theory and practice of cloud forensics. One of the main challenges includes the inability to collect enough evidence from each and every subscriber of a Cloud Service Provider(CSP) and thus not being able to trace out the roots of the malicious activity committed. In this paper we compare past research done in this field and address the gaps and loopholes in the frameworks previously suggested. Overcoming these, our system/framework facilitates the collection, organization, and thereby the analysis of the evidence sought, hence preserving the essential integrity of the sensitive and volatile data.

Inside TorrentLocker (Cryptolocker) Malware C&C Server Davide Cioccia
CryptoLocker was a ransomware trojan which targeted computers running Microsoft Windows and was first observed by Dell SecureWorks in September 2013. CryptoLocker propagated via infected email attachments, and via an existing botnet; when activated, the malware encrypts certain types of files stored on local and mounted network drives using RSA public-key cryptography, with the private key stored only on the malware's control servers. The malware then displays a message, which offers to decrypt the data if a payment (through either Bitcoin or a pre-paid cash voucher) is made by a stated deadline, and threatened to delete the private key if the deadline passes. If the deadline is not met, the malware offered to decrypt data via an online service provided by the malware's operators, for a significantly higher price in Bitcoin
Explore the new 2014 TorrentLocker and get inside his C&C server
In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. Now, recession-hit companies are increasingly realizing that simply by tapping into the cloud they can gain fast access to best-of-breed business applications or drastically boost their infrastructure resources, all at negligible cost. But as more and more information on individuals and companies is placed in the cloud, concerns are beginning to grow about just how safe an environment it is. This paper discusses security issues, requirements and challenges that cloud service providers (CSP) face during cloud engineering. Recommended security standards and management models to address these are suggested for technical and business community.
DDS - The Proven Data Connectivity Standard for the Industrial IoT (IIoT)Gerardo Pardo-Castellote
The next wave of Industrial Internet applications will connect machines and devices together into functioning, intelligent systems with capabilities beyond anything possible today. These systems fundamentally depend on connectivity and information exchange to derive knowledge and make "smart decisions". They require a much higher level of reliability and security than "Consumer" IoT applications. OMG's Data-Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) is the premier open middleware standard directly addressing publish-subscribe communications for Industrial IoT applications. It provides a protocol that meets the demanding security, scalability, performance, and Quality of Service requirements of IIoT applications spanning connected machines, enterprise systems, and mobile devices.This presentation will use concrete use cases to introduce DDS and examine why energy, advanced medical, asset-tracking, transportation, and military systems choose to base their designs on DDS.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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 FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.

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).

2. Situational Awareness
When the first aircraft struck the World Trade Center, what were your thoughts? Did you
think about terrorists? Or, was your first thought something more like “How could that
happen?” The first crash left most people trying to figure out what human or mechanical
error could have caused the crash. However, a little over 15 minutes later – and the instant
Flight 175 came into view – we knew we were under attack. As the jet slammed into the
South Tower of the World Trade Center, our view changed and the response of police and
fire personnel to the WTC and the other incidents changed.
Our reaction changed because the additional information of the second aircraft altered our
perception of the first crash. Our perceptions moved closer to reality because more data
gave meaning to and enhanced our comprehension of what we were observing.
Situational awareness
“Situational awareness” was a term originally used to describe the tactical situation during
aerial combat . While the literal term doesn’t go back as far as World War I, the idea
surfaced then, when pilots first took to the sky in combat. At first, the term referred to the
pilot’s ability to know where he was in relation to the enemy and the other pilots of his flight.
In reality, that is only positional awareness. However, when pilots added their knowledge of
aircraft capabilities and known battle tactics with positional awareness, they were able to
interpret, comprehend and anticipate. The comprehension of observations is the essence of
situational awareness.
3. Public Safety in a Multimedia Era
Public safety agencies have made significant investments in CAD system, records-
management systems, GIS, crisis information management, and facility preplan
drawing and management systems. These are stand-alone systems and are
incapable of easily sharing data with other programs. Their proliferation has created
a series of data silos requiring service command or other response personnel to
perform “swivel chair” integration, rolling back and forth between the user interfaces
of several different systems or books to build a composite picture of the situation in
their minds.
The emergence of Internet standards for Web services and data integration now
makes it possible to weave these systems together by providing the connections and
data translations necessary to make each system's data understandable to the
others. This establishes a true information-sharing environment in which various
data sources can be brought together and woven into valuable information relevant
to the incident being responded to. New capabilities such as video surveillance, fixed
or mobile sensors, and plume modeling can be integrated easily in the future.
Another benefit is that public safety personnel can focus on being decision-makers
and not data-entry clerks.
4. Public Safety in a Multimedia Era
Public safety agencies work in a dynamic, complex and high-risk environment that
demands current and relevant situational awareness. Time is of the essence when
faced with saving lives, property and the environment. There is no time to copy
and send files, pictures, or diagrams. The best case is to have all relevant
information updated in real time to keep pace with the unfolding incident or
situation. Responders, incident commanders and emergency managers need to
be able to view the situation and collaborate in real time to communicate what is
happening at present.
With the systems tied together and the information flowing in real time, what is
needed next is to fuse the information together and present it in a visualization
environment that can be quickly understood and manipulated.
5. Public Safety in a Multimedia Era
Public safety and emergency management entities already operate in a
geospatial environment: How do I get there? Where is the incident? Where is
the fire? Where is the bad guy going? What and where are the exposures to this
fire? Where is my water supply? Where are my resources? How does our
coverage look for any other emergencies? Incident response organizations are
used to dealing with maps and locations, and thus a geospatial picture makes a
lot of sense as the primary visualization mechanism for incident data.
With a map-based operating picture that is updated in real time, the information
presented on that map can be adapted as appropriate to the roles and
responsibilities of the individual responders. This will facilitate rapid
comprehension and more effective decision-making for all disciplines that might
be required.

Intelligent Networking
Cisco IPICS takes advantage of the Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture
(SONA), an architectural framework that enables organizations to maximize the
value of their network services and resources. The Cisco SONA framework makes
it possible to centrally manage all radio systems, other voice systems, and data
over a common, unified platform, increasing efficiency and the value of the
agency’s network assets while lowering capital and management costs.
42. Cisco Unified Contact Center
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise uses an IP infrastructure to deliver skills-
based contact routing, voice self-service, computer telephony integration (CTI),
and multichannel contact management. By combining multichannel automatic-call-
distributor (ACD) functions with IP telephony in a unified solution, Cisco Unified
Contact Center helps deploy a distributed voice-over-IP (VoIP) contact center
infrastructure.
The Unified Contact Center segments customers, monitors resource availability,
and delivers each contact to the appropriate resource anywhere in the enterprise.
The software profiles each customer contact using related data such as dialed
number and calling line ID, caller entered digits, data submitted on a Web form,
and information obtained from a customer database lookup. Simultaneously, the
system monitors the resources available in the contact center including agent
skills and availability, interactive-voice-response (IVR) status, and queue lengths.
43. Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on
fixed and mobile networks, delivering a media-rich collaboration experience across
business, government agency, and institutional workspaces. These applications use
the network as the platform to enhance comparative advantage by accelerating
decision time and reducing transaction time. The security, resilience, and scalability of
the network enable users in any workspace to connect anywhere, anytime, and
anyplace, using any media, device, or operating system.
A Unified Communications is part of a solution that includes network infrastructure,
security, wireless, management applications, lifecycle services, flexible deployment and
outsourced management options, and third-party applications.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly known as Cisco Unified
CallManager) is the call-processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications
system.
45. Cisco Unified Communications Manager
IP voice call setup is initiated between the IP phone, IP videophone or gateway, and Cisco
Unified CallManager. Cisco Unified CallManager classifies a call based on parameters
such as application (voice or video) and Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP),
and signals to the Cisco RSVP Agent in the access router. Bandwidth pools are
preconfigured in the router on a per-application and per-interface basis. Using the
classification provided by Cisco Unified CallManager, the Cisco RSVP Agent attempts to
set up a call within the appropriate bandwidth pool and across the WAN to a far-end Cisco
RSVP Agent for the receiving party.
If RSVP bandwidth is secured, the Cisco RSVP Agent signals back to Cisco Unified
CallManager. Cisco Unified CallManager in turn signals to the IP phone, IP videophone, or
gateway and the call proceeds. The Cisco RSVP Agent can apply differentiated services
code point (DSCP) marking to media packets based on instruction from the Cisco Unified
CallManager. DSCP packet marking may be applied to place the RSVP secured media
stream into the router priority queue. If RSVP bandwidth cannot be secured, the Cisco
RSVP Agent signals back to Cisco Unified CallManager, which administers policies. The
call is either disallowed or allowed to proceed with a lower-priority DSCP packet marking
applied by the Cisco RSVP Agent as instructed by the Cisco Unified CallManager.
46. Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Mid-call policies may also be applied for handling of changes to the media stream such as
transfers during a call. Network design using the Cisco RSVP Agent allows voice and video
calls to proceed as part of a single unified network together with data. This setup allows for
support of meshed designs, multitiered designs, adjustment to dynamic link changes, and
redundant links. This single design helps reduce the costs for both infrastructure and
management. Because CAC is managed and secured and QoS is applied as a network
component, there is no reliance on end-user devices.
Cisco RSVP Agent functions independently of the call-signaling protocol, and hence, Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP), Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), H.323, and Media Gateway
Control Protocol (MGCP) are all supported. Figure 2 shows how the Cisco Unified CallManager
and Cisco RSVP Agent in the router work together to optimize the voice quality across the IP
network.
