The document provides definitions for various audio and sound design terms. It includes a glossary with definitions for terms like foley artistry, sound libraries, audio file formats (like .wav and .mp3), audio limitations involving hardware like sound processor units and digital sound processors, audio recording systems like analog, digital, MIDI, and software tools for audio like software sequencers, plugins, and MIDI keyboard instruments.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Sound Libraries a collectionof sounds storedon file (for example on CDs, DVDs, or as digital
audiofiles)

SOUND FILE FORMATS Uncompressed Commonlyused for storinguncompressed (PCM), CD-qualitysound files,
which means that theycanbe large insize—around10 MB per minute.
Wave filescanalsocontain data encodedwith a varietyof (lossy) codecs to
reduce the file size (for example the GSMor MP3 formats).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format
A large amount of data before it goes
through compression
.wav Short for WAVeform AudioFormat, it is normallyusedin anuncompressed
format on the Microsoft Windows platform. This rawaudioformat, which
was developedjointlybyIBMandMicrosoft, stores audiodata in blocks.

.aiff Stands for "Audio Interchange File Format." AIFFis a file format designed to
store audiodata. It wasdeveloped byApple Computer, but is basedon
Electronic Arts' IFF(Interchange File Format), a container format originally
usedon Amiga systems.

.au AU file (AUdiofile)A digital audiofile format from Sunthat is usedon the
Internet andcan be playedbya Java program. It provides toll-qualitysound
and uses the .AU extension. It generallyuses the u-Law(mu-Law)encoding
method, and raw u-Law filesand AU filesare the same except for the file
header.

Lossy Compression Lossless andlossycompression are terms that describe whether or not, in
the compressionof a file, alloriginaldata canbe recoveredwhenthe file is
uncompressed. lossycompressionreduces a file bypermanentlyeliminating
certaininformation, especiallyredundant information. Whenthe file is
uncompressed, onlya part ofthe original informationis still there (although
the user maynot notice it). Lossycompressionis generallyusedfor video
and sound, where a certainamount of informationloss will not be detected
bymost users.
http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/lossless-and-lossy-compression
Lossy, whena file is uncompressed
onlypart of the original file is still
there usedfor audio where the info
lost willnot reallybe detected bythe
user.
.mp3 There are manyaudiofile formats ofwhichthe first was MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3 -- or more commonlyreferred to as MP3. It is a lossycompression
algorithmthat removes certainfrequencies that humans can't hear

Digital Sound Processor (DSP) A Digital Signal Processor, or DSP, is a specializedmicroprocessor that has
an architecture whichis optimizedfor the fast operational needs ofdigital
signal processing. A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) canprocess data inreal
time, making it idealfor applications that can’t tolerate delays.

RAM(pronounced ramm) is anacronym for randomaccessmemory, a type
of computer memorythat canbe accessedrandomly;that is, any byte of
memorycan be accessedwithout touching the preceding bytes. RAMis the
most common type of memoryfoundincomputers andother devices, such

Mono Audio Mono or monophonic describes a systemwhere all the audiosignalsare
mixed together androutedthrough a single audiochannel. Monosystems

Direct Audio (Pulse Code
Modulation – PCM)
Pulse code modulation (PCM) is a digital representationof an analogue
signal that takessamples of the amplitude of the analogue signal at regular
intervals. The sampled analogue data is changedto, andthen represented
by, binarydata. PCMrequiresa veryaccurate clock.
