Economic indicators and statistics are the baseline of any measurement, but when it comes to
measuring innovation, the schools of thoughts are divided on what are the most relevant and reliable
indicators and metrics to assess the development of a specific technology not only within its wide
range of applications, but also against another technology? The younger the technology in question,
the more difficult it is to find the right indicators for the measurement of its innovative power at a
time when such measurement is most needed, in order to evaluate the efficiency of policy making
regarding this technology.
The measurement of the innovative power of a General Purpose Technology (GPT), like
nanotechnology, can benefit from adoption of commonly accepted economic indicators, such as
intellectual property creation, creation of enterprises, manufacture of value-added products and
supply of relevant services, but new indicators need to be proposed, in order to specifically grasp the
disruptive and revolutionary power of the GPT.
This study aims to stress-test the use of traditional indicators for the measurement of
nanotechnology innovation, in order to specifically allow for comparison with other technological
developments and between economic markets, while gaining insight into the shortcomings of these
traditional indicators and aiming to identify needs for better suited future indicators to be created.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

2. Background
• After the USSR collapsed, some liberals proclaimed ‘the
end of history’ with an emerging paradigm of global
economy, society and values (Fukuyama, 1992)
• Although not recognized as market economies
immediately, post-communist states were considered
as part of the world capitalist system by the merit of
their structural reform and establishment of recognized
market mechanisms
• However, many institutional, social and cultural
frameworks remain in transition countries (including
Russia) that have substantial impact on their
contemporary development and policies
3. Research questions
• How Russia and China can exploit their science and
technology (S&T) history to promote indigenous
innovation development and resolve the weaknesses
of the former state planning system?
• Are there any particular complementarities between
the Russian and Chinese innovation that can contribute
to their socioeconomic development?
• What are the current and emerging opportunities for
mutual leaning between the two countries?
• What is the role of technology-based growth strategies
in this process?
4. Nanotechnology
• Can it be implemented bypassing the major
system weaknesses and path dependencies?
• Can it help resolve the major challenges and
break the existing lock-ins in the construction
of effective national innovation systems in
transition economics?
5. Context
• Nano – next transformative technology like
electricity or Internet?
• Who will get the most benefits from nano
revolution: the poor or the rich, the smaller or
the larger?
6. National nano initiatives
• USA is the first to launch a National
Nanotechnology Initiative in 2000
• More than sixty countries joined global nanorace
(Shapira and Wang, 2010; Sargent, 2008)
• Various starting points (Court et al., 2004):
Front runners: China and India
Middle ground: Thailand, the Philippines, South
Africa, Brazil, and Chile
Up and comers: Argentina and Mexico
