Although the creation of art by computers, using generative
techniques, has produced a formidable body of work, the
creation of art by autonomous robots is relatively new, probably because the bottom-up approach deprives robots of the
processing power that today’s computers make available for
artistic creation. Computer-art algorithms usually consist of
two essential elements: a generative element that allows the
computer to create, and an aesthetic neural network that evaluates the quality of the work created and tells the computer what
to discard, and when a work of art is finished
A robotic system for interpreting images into painted artworkTev Tlov
We report on a robotic system that can physically produce paintings with a wide
range of artistic media such as acrylic paint on canvas. The system is composed of
an articulated painting arm and a machine-learning algorithm aimed at determining a
series of brushstrokes that will transfer a given electronic image onto canvas. An
artist controlling the system is able to influence the resulting art piece through choice
of various parameters, such as the palette, brush types and brushstroke parameters.
Alternatively, an artist is able to influence the outcome through varying the
algorithmic parameters and feedback of the learning algorithm itself. In these results,
a genetic algorithm used a painting simulation to optimize similarity between the
target and the source images.
Painterly interfaces for audiovisual performanceTev Tlov
This thesis presents a new computer interface metaphor for the
real-time and simultaneous performance of dynamic imagery and
sound. This metaphor is based on the idea of an inexhaustible,
infinitely variable, time-based, audiovisual “substance” which
can be gesturally created, deposited, manipulated and deleted
in a free-form, non-diagrammatic image space. The interface
metaphor is exemplified by five interactive audiovisual synthesis
systems whose visual and aural dimensions are deeply plastic,
commensurately malleable, and tightly connected by perceptuallymotivated mappings. The principles, patterns and challenges
which structured the design of these five software systems are
extracted and discussed, after which the expressive capacities of
the five systems are compared and evaluated.

Filed Under: Atlanta, Drupal, Modules, Social NetworkingJul.14, 2010
Yesterday night I gave a presentation on Social Networking in Drupal at the Atlanta Drupal Users Group meetup. Grab the slides or watch the video!
The presentation was based on one I gave at DrupalCamp South Carolina/LinuxFest SouthEast.
Also check out the demo site! (Update: the demo site has been taken down.)
For new buildings, the recast fixes 2020 as the deadline for all new buildings to be
“nearly zero energy” (and even sooner for public buildings – by the end of 2018). For
existing buildings, Member States are required to draw up national plans to increase the
number of nearly zero energy buildings, though no specific targets have been set.
However, the Directive does not clearly define what a “nearly zero energy building” is,
either for new build or refurbishment of existing buildings. Article 2(1a) gives a purely
qualitative definition:
A “nearly zero energy building” is a building that has a very high energy
performance. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be
covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including
energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby.
A zero net energy building is one that is optimally
eicient and, over the course of a year, generates energy
onsite, using clean renewable resources, in a quantity
equal to or greater than the total amount of energy
consumed onsite. he Task Force recognizes, however,
that currently, and even by 2030, certain buildings
will not be able to meet the deinition of zero net
energy for technological or economic reasons (or both).
herefore, the Task Force strongly recommends that
where zero net energy is truly not feasible, buildings
in Massachusetts should reduce energy loads to the
minimum practical level, produce onsite as much of the
required energy as reasonable rom renewable resources,
and purchase locally generated renewable energy to
satisfy remaining needs.

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).

17. The PCBs are put on the rings, which themselves
Transceiver PCB are put on top of each other being connected via
a “bus” of connectors (which I think could act as a
groundplane)
End of antenna
The antenna is printed on the outside of the
connnectors (see left photograph)
On the lower right corner you can see an artist
impression of how the final system should look
like. From this picture you can see that the
antenna strip is around the connector bus
(probably the groundplane). Depending on the
position of the ring with the transceiver PCB (and
the antenna) the connectors stick below, above or
both.
Start of antenna holes for the connectors
24 connectors (conductors) form a bus through the system,
