SDI in Croatia; shifting from NSDI 1.0 to NSDI 2.0Tomislav Ciceli
Croatia has strong legacy in Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) domain. First activities started already at the begging of 21st century with few studies about possibilities for data exchange between different institutions on governmental level. All activities which followed those studies were formalised in Act on State Survey and Real Cadastre in 2007 (Official Gazetteer 13/2007). In period after Law come in force all activities were focused on formal framework of establishment of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) which resulted with three level hierarchy of NSDI Bodies; Council, Board and Working groups. That period can be treated like phase 1.0 of SDI establishment in Republic of Croatia. From 2013 Croatia become member of European Union and with other obligations we needed to transpose Directive 2007/2/EZ to our legislation which was made in May of 2013 with Act on National Spatial Data Infrastructure (Official Gazetteer 56/2013). With that Act Croatia become legally compatible with EU legislation in domain of SDI and implementation on operational level started. Formal structure was kept, with introducing State Geodetic Administration like National Contact Point for NSDI and INSPIRE. Many new activities come with putting Act on NSDI in force; creating of NSDI Registries, creating of National metadata catalogue and publishing of National geoportal. During 2014 activities on Monitoring of SDI/INSPIRE in Croatia also were accomplished. All those activities were very operational, with focus on real implementation and according to that that phase can be treated like phase 2.0. in SDI development in Republic of Croatia. In scope of this work brief overview of main activities for phase 1.0 and phase 2.0 will be made.
An introduction to GIS strategic planning and the NSDI, an overview of the current state of GIS Coordination in Delaware and some questions to consider.

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:
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

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.

administrations, 13 peripheries
and 325 municipalities
11. 2.2 Offer by companies
● More Companies in Athens and few companies in
Thessaloniki, majority of sales and projects take place in the
urban region of Athens (Attica),
● More 50 companies by personal survey and >60% are in Urban
area of Athens
● Marathondata has offices in the 2 cities,
● Greek companies represent some international GIS Software
companies : ESRI, Intergraph, Autodesk, MapInfo, Manifold...
● Some companies offer customized solutions
12. 2.2 Offer by companies
● Many companies offer customized applications on basis
of Licensed GIS software: ESRI is generally used.
● Open Source solutions are not represented significantly
in the Greek companies.
13. 2.3 Data
● There is a lack of data, it explains a late in use of public
data,
● No mutualization approach for the public data, no
license process in order to share the data between
different public authorities. There is no NSDI,
● Many versions of the same data, so a high cost,
● Private data try to cover the hole of the public data,
14. 2.3 Data
● The public authorities sell the same data many times,
● Public data has a restrictive copyright,
● Some data are out-of-date (public national topographic
reference),
● Development of private data with a commercial use :
Referential maps for GPS/navigation
● Cadastral data is not ready
15. 2.4 Associations,NGO and freelancers
● Freelancers represent a great community of GIS users.
They work independently (minor) or by contract in private
companies (majority),
● GIS users/specialist in Greece are from multiple domains
like: geography, topography, spatial planners, foresters,
environmentalists..
● Associations and NGO are few and they are generally
based in Athens
16. 2.4 Associations,NGO and freelancers
● Some quite active communities like: Hellas GI, ELLAK,
Topographers and Geomatics Students associations.
● They NGO and associations have more a role of
information and dissemination.
● They take an important place in seminars/conference
organization (HellasGI and ELLAK)
17. 2.4 Associations,NGO and freelancers
● OSGeo – Greek Chapter regroup 27 members. No
official association. No real organization. Based on
volunteers actions (translation, tutorials, seminars and
training...).
● Mailing list and Annual report
(2007-2008-2009) but it is calm ...
18. 2.5 Universities and events
● Universities take an important place for the transfer knowledge of
GIS and Geo-sciences. It is the principal tool for the education in
GIS technology
● Five locations are ''fulled'' concerned by the GIS Education in
Greece: Athens, Thessaloniki, Volos, Serres, Mythilini
● Some Masters in GIS and geomatics technology exist but they
are not opened on the Balkans area (in Greek). Concurrence by
the Masters in G.Britain and Holland.
19. 2.5 Universities and events
● No strong relation between the laboratories and the
companies,
● Geopolitic place of Greece is not exploited for the GIS
cross-border education, closed inside its border.
● Few national events take place in Greece, organized by
Universities, NGO and associations, some International
seminars per year...
20. 3.INSPIRE in Greece
● Law of 20 Sept.2010
about the creation of the
NSDI to implement the
INSPIRE Directive
● Law for sharing public
data for free

data. They have no responsability.
Available for applications
● Demo Application for the greek users
powered by Institute for the Management
of Information Systems, Open Government
team and ELLAK society.
● Metadata are available since December
2010 in XML, spatial data available in SHP,
GML, KML
● → Not yet installed, just a demoI
27. 4.2 Others examples of Greek SDI
● No other Greek example of SDI !
● Just one by a Greek partner in EU project:
● IDE-UNIVERS: http://www.ideunivers.eu
● Interreg IIIB Project MEDOCC in 6
languages (Greek)
● Portal and Geoportal
● Greek Partner is Univ.of Aegean
● Open Sources tools
http://geo-ellanikos.aegean.gr/ideunivers/
28. 4.2 Others examples of Greek SDI
● Some experiences by EU projects
● Example of the SDI-EDU project (http://sdi-edu.zcu.cz) about the
Education Transfer in relation with the INSPIRE Directive knowledge
● Duration of 24 months, 10 partners and organization of Training
Workshops in 6 countries
● Knowledge for the Spatial Planners and how to applicate the
directive in the spatial planning processes
● Portal and GeoPortal (Viewer Map+GeoCatalog)
29. 4.3 Expectations for SDI in Greece
● No experience of SDI in Greece
● INSPIRE Directive is a new topic. Famous since 2010 and not before in
Greece
● Few persons know about SDI, INSPIRE, OGC, webservices...harvesting. They
are from universities and few companies
● Future for SDI ...if...financed projects from EU.
● No own wished to build (just geoportal.gov.gr) if no funds
● Expectation of development in parallel with the future Greek Cadastre
30. Conclusion
● Monopole of one GIS Software in all the sectors (research,
public, private...)
● Lack of data and a lack of applications in the public services
● A new organization for the NSDI project but not effective yet
● A lack of knowledge about INSPIRE, SDI, OGC and
interoperability concept
● No important seminars about Geomatics nor studies about SDI
● Minimum of cross-border research/works
31. Opportunities
● Real needs of knowledge about SDI and Interoperability concepts
(harvesting process, standards...)
● Set up a cross-border SDI for a first example of efficient application (only one real
SDI was in EU project...)
● Need of a strong an effective SDI (support team)
● Need to change the behavior with the spatial data uses (License)
● Need of new technologies use : Web-Services, Open Source solutions and
projects
● Need to support more Open Source applications (Economic crisis background)
