Assignment 1 (Real Groovy) Leighton Wilson
Real Groovy is a chain of four music stores located in major cities in New Zealand that is facing financial troubles due to declining music sales. CD sales decreased 20% in 2006 as more people turned to illegal and legal online downloads instead. This poses a threat to the business and its profits. To stay profitable, Real Groovy has diversified its product range, located stores in busy city centers, and launched a website. However, it can still improve revenues by selling individual songs digitally both online and in stores, rather than full CDs, to attract more customers who may also buy other items. This strategy could help the business continue operating into the future.

5 nmt industry presentation
The document discusses various topics related to the music industry, including illegal downloading, conglomerate ownership of music companies, and how the industry has changed with new technologies. It notes that while 14-25 year olds are no longer buying much music, the BRIT awards still take place. It also discusses pros and cons of conglomerate ownership, including greater resources but less creative freedom. The impact of illegal downloading and potential solutions are debated, including online music stores in response to free downloading. Overall the document examines many issues facing the modern music industry.
Future of the music industry
The 360 degree business model allows music companies to take a cut of an artist's merchandising and touring revenues in addition to music sales. However, this provides no benefit to artists as their main sources of income used to be touring and merchandise. Artists are better off producing and distributing their own music and hiring an agency to handle marketing.
While a 360 deal could allow for closer collaboration, in reality a huge company like Sony would not be able to work closely with all of its artists. Independent artists may benefit from file sharing as it helps promote their name, whereas large companies are motivated by profits rather than an artist's development.
The future of the music industry lies more in live performances and experiences than just music

Real Groovy is a New Zealand-based music retailer with 4 stores located in areas with young music fans. To remain loyal, the company started a club and magazine for customers. Staff knowledge is important, but some leave for overseas opportunities. The company stocks up to 500,000 items and tracks inventory with an in-house system. While vinyl sales remain strong, overall album sales are decreasing due to piracy and new technologies. Real Groovy does not compete on price with big retailers. To stay in business, it could open a cafe or affiliate with music blogs to increase publicity and sales.

Real Groovy, a New Zealand music retailer, is facing challenges due to declining CD and DVD sales as digital music downloads increase globally. While competitors are also struggling in this market, Real Groovy's strength is that it has the largest supply of vinyl records in NZ, a market that is growing significantly. To prepare for the future as CDs and DVDs become obsolete, Real Groovy should shift resources away from these products and focus more on vinyl records, its website, and used goods where it can fill a niche market and differentiate itself from larger competitors.

This article provides an overview of BigChampagne and its attempts to create an alternative music chart called the Ultimate Chart that aims to more accurately track an artist's success based on online metrics like social media, streaming, and video views rather than just physical sales. It notes that while still in its early stages, the Ultimate Chart presents a challenge to the traditional Billboard charts and SoundScan methods which only measure physical sales and radio airplay. The article examines differences between the Ultimate Chart, Billboard chart, and iTunes song rankings, and argues that the Ultimate Chart provides a more "multidimensional picture" of an artist's true popularity. It also uses Lady Gaga as an example of an artist who dominates online but is underrepresented
Real Groovy - Situation Analysis
Real Groovy is a New Zealand music retailer originating in the 20th century with 4 store locations. It primarily sells CDs and vinyls but also other products.

1) Real Groovy has adapted to changes in the music industry by offering additional services like insurance and loyalty programs. They have also capitalized on increased demand for vinyl records.
2) While they do not directly compete with other stores on all products, Real Groovy attracts specialist customers by offering a wide range of goods beyond just music.
3) The report recommends that Real Groovy advertise their large vinyl selection and open a new store in Taupo to attract more customers.
Music business
The document summarizes the changes in the music business over recent years. It discusses the decline of record sales due to the rise of digital music and illegal downloading. While digital music sales are increasing, they have not offset the losses from physical sales. New business models like subscription services and live concerts/merchandise are emerging as artists seek ways to monetize their music. Overall, the traditional record industry is struggling to adapt to these changes and find an effective strategy to address illegal piracy and transform their business model for the digital age.
Universal music group
Universal Music Group owns various record labels and media companies involved in the production, marketing, distribution, and sale of music. It represents many popular artists that appear on radio playlists like AFI, Blink-182, Lady Gaga, and Rise Against. UMG uses various online and social media platforms to promote its artists, find new talent, and distribute music in both physical and digital formats through various retailers and online stores. Media convergence across different channels has been important for increasing music sales and exposure for UMG's artists.

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.AppSec PNW: Android and iOS Application Security with MobSF

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.

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.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
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.
