Invited talk at the Ninth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications IPTA 2019 (http://www.ipta-conference.com/ipta19/)
Crises and natural disasters are unwelcome, but also unavoidable features of modern society, affecting more communities than ever. Visual information analysis plays an important role in efficient pre-event (e.g. risk modeling), during the event (response) and post-event (recovery) emergency situation management. This talk will describe the potential role of visual information sources including satellite images, surveillance and traffic cameras, social multimedia and aerial video in applications such as floods, fires, and oil spills. Multimodal and fusion techniques will be presented combining satellite and social data and how deep neural networks can be applied in this domain. The talks will include demos and results from the relevant BeAware and EOPEN projects and from our participation in the 2018 Multimedia Satellite Task of the MediaEval Benchmarking Initiative.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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:
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

NASA: Hypothesis & Questions
NASA is not just that popular because of the Apollo and Space
Shuttle heritage, but also because of its liberal and open
communications and knowledge sharing approach.
My questions to NASA‘s Office of
Communications:
In how far is NASA's liberal approach with regard to usage and
sharing of images, multimedia and data part of the agency's
overall communication strategy?
Did NASA and other U.S. government agencies start off with this
approach in the past just because US law required them to do
so, and only later discovered the benefits of the so-called
attention economy?
5. @DLR_de @DLR_en @marco_t
Answer by NASA Office of Communications 1/2
„We take our lead in the public sharing of imagery and data directly
from the original 1958 Space Act that founded NASA. Remember, the then-
Soviets had a military space program that was hidden from public. President
Dwight D. Eisenhower decided to create a civilian space agency that would
conduct its work in full view of the public, both the triumphs and tragedies.“
Specifically:
Sec. 203. (a) The Administration, in order to carry out the purpose of this Act,
shall-- (3) provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of
information concerning its activities and the results thereof.

11. @DLR_de @DLR_en @marco_t
ESA – European Space Agency – the future ?
Image and Multimedia material usage Guidelines
Answer
„ESA is aware that the more open its copyright policy would be, the more
chances it would have to connect, directly and indirectly, with its main target,
the general public;
However, this is a complex exercise for an inter-governmental organisation like
ESA, with 20 member States and which benefits from a set of international
privileges and immunities;
This complexity is further increased by the fact that, in many cases, ESA is not
the unique owner of the images delivered by its missions;
In spite of the above, ESA is aiming at gradually adopting the Creative Commons
policy for all its visual material.“

Legal assessment by DLR Legal Affairs Department
"'In our opinion, the use of CC licences for media owned by DLR is legally
permissible; in particular, it does not conflict with DLR’s statutory obligation
to publish its research results ‘through appropriate measures’ , cf. section 1,
subsection 2, last sentence of the DLR charter.'.“
"In our opinion, a CC licence is suitable to every case set out above. The
purpose underlying the regulation in the charter is (over) fulfilled because,
through the use of a CC licence, additional usage rights are granted and
thus, a higher degree of dissemination of the published media content
owned by DLR will mostly be achieved. (...) Granting a simple usage right is
legally common and is, in my view, coherent with DLR's licensing policy.'“

How would you like to use Space Data & Media? What would be ideal for you?
Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons:
How can space agencies allow for an even broader usage of their products?
Public Domain & Creative Commons licences:
How do they work together with regard to international collaboration?
How do you rate 'DLR goes CC'? Just a drop in the ocean or quite an achievement?
Will more public research centres /gov agencies follow the DLR example? If yes, how?
With regard to space science data & media, how can we provide for more legal certainty?
