Platfora - An Analytics Sandbox In A World Of Big Data
As Big Data becomes the norm in dealing with data volume, variety, and velocity, it becomes increasingly harder for the Data Analyst to understand and work with data sets. To overcome this we introduce Platfora, a Hadoop backed data analysis framework which nicely complements more traditional data warehousing and BI solutions. This presentation covers ingestion of new data and building of data sets and visualizations,in a system that requires no more work than interacting with a graphical interface. You'll see examples of peer-to-peer lending and how insights on loan applicants and their risk profiles can be quickly revealed with no ETL development or demanding data transformation.
Silicon Valley SQL Server User Group June 2013
June 2013 meeting of the Silicon Valley SQL Server User Group. Speaker: Sandy Rivas, Program Manager for Power View at Microsoft.
Microsoft Analysis Services July 2010
This is an introduction to Analysis Services focusing on when to use it and how to use it effectively. Dan Bulos covers the three pillars of multidimensional databases: Aggregation Management, Embedded Metadata, and the Calculation Engine.
For analytical applications, performance management, or just about anything with a KPI, Analysis Services is the perfect companion for SQL Server. These are complementary databases that do different things well. Using the right tool for the right job will make development faster and usability easier.
You Will Learn:
• How SSAS aggregation management saves development time and runs faster
• How the embedded metadata (semantic layer) of SSAS creates a more usable application
• The benefits of using MDX as calculation language
• How to make effective use of both the relational & multidimensional SQL Server databases
Microsoft SQL Server PASS News August 2012
This presentation lists upcoming events and summer 2012 virtual chapter meetings of the Professional Association for SQL Server. You will find meetings about data warehousing, Big Data, Master Data, Powershell, and virtualization.

SQL Server guru Ami Levin explains some of the fundamental design principles of relational databases: normalization rules, key selection, and the controversies associated with these issues from a practical perspective.
This presentation hits on the benefits and challenges of using different types of keys - natural, surrogates, artificial, and others.
Each key offers benefits from multiple aspects: data consistency, application development, maintenance, portability and performance.
Ami Levin is a Microsoft MVP and a consultant with SolidQ. Last fall he moved to California from Israel, where he led the Israeli SQL Server User Group.

In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.
Essentials of Automations: The Art of Triggers and Actions in FME
In this second installment of our Essentials of Automations webinar series, we’ll explore the landscape of triggers and actions, guiding you through the nuances of authoring and adapting workspaces for seamless automations. Gain an understanding of the full spectrum of triggers and actions available in FME, empowering you to enhance your workspaces for efficient automation.
We’ll kick things off by showcasing the most commonly used event-based triggers, introducing you to various automation workflows like manual triggers, schedules, directory watchers, and more. Plus, see how these elements play out in real scenarios.
Whether you’re tweaking your current setup or building from the ground up, this session will arm you with the tools and insights needed to transform your FME usage into a powerhouse of productivity. Join us to discover effective strategies that simplify complex processes, enhancing your productivity and transforming your data management practices with FME. Let’s turn complexity into clarity and make your workspaces work wonders!
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA Connect
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Pushing the limits of ePRTC: 100ns holdover for 100 days
At WSTS 2024, Alon Stern explored the topic of parametric holdover and explained how recent research findings can be implemented in real-world PNT networks to achieve 100 nanoseconds of accuracy for up to 100 days.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.
