Towards a Foundational API for Resilient Distributed Systems DesignDanilo Pianini
Engineering resilient distributed systems remains extremely challenging, particularly in mapping from collective specifications to individual device behavior. Aggregate programming aims to address this problem using a computational field abstraction to provide inherent guarantees of resilience, scalability, and safe composition. These capabilities are provided, however, by an expressive but terse set of operators too low-level for pragmatic use in complex systems development. We thus present an API to raise the level of abstraction, thereby providing an accessible and user-friendly interface for construction of complex resilient distributed systems. In particular, we capture and organize a large, heterogeneous collection of algorithms and use patterns into a unified framework, including methods for common tasks such as leader election, distance and state estimation, and gossip-based information dissemination. We demonstrate how the expressiveness of this library reduces the abstraction gap required to engineer scenarios of large-scale pervasive computing, while introducing the novel multiInstance pattern enabling an unanticipated composition of computational fields.

Роль Информационной Безопасности в управлении проектами или почему скрипач нуженAlexey Evmenkov
Все руководители проектов пристегиваются в машине, но редко кто думает об информационной безопасности, управляя своим проектом.
Что знают руководители проектов об информационной безопасности? То, что пароли должны быть сложными и существуют абстрактные политики про можно/нельзя?
В реальном мире - информационная безопасность (ИБ) - это огромный пласт практик: технических, организационных, управленческих.
В докладе будет рассмотрены аспекты ИБ в разрезе управления ИТ проектами. Автор обсудит вопросы - а стоит ли вкладываться в эту область на проекте - ресурсами, деньгами, временем? Если да, то почему это оправдает себя?
Sejarah Singkat Tentang Kebedaraan Markas
Sejarah singkat tentang kebedaraan markas atau kantor Residen Jambi, berawal dari keberhasilan kerajaan Belanda dalam menaklukkan dan menguasai wilayah-wilayah Kesultanan Jambi, maka pemerintah Kerajaan Belanda menetapkan bahwa wilayah Jambi sebagai Keresidenan dan masuk ke dalam wilayah Nederlandsch Indie. Residen Jambi yang pertama O.L Helfrich yang diangkat berdasarkan Surat Keputusan Gubernur Jenderal Belanda Nomor. 20 tanggal 4 Mei 1906 dan pelantikannya dilaksanakan pada tanggal 2 Juli 1906. Kekuasaan kerajaan Belanda atas wilayah Jambi berlangsung ± 36(tiga puluh enam) tahun karena pada tanggal 9 Maret 1942 terjadi peralihan kekuasaan kepada Pemerintahan Jepang sebagai pemenang dalam perang kawasan Asia pasifik pada saat itu. Oleh karena itu kantor eks Residen Jambi menjadi saksi sejarah yang tidak kalah pentingnya dalam membuka tabir asal usul pemerintahan di Jambi. Sehingga perlu kiranya gedung tua yang merupakan monumen saksi sejarah Jambi tersebut dapat dijaga dan dilestarikan, termasuk sebagai bagian cagar budaya yang berkaitan dengan bangunan bersejarah yang tetap harus dirawat secara maksimal.
Direktorat polisi perairan Polda Jambi adalah salah satu direktorat bagian dari Polda Jambi yang sengaja menempati eks Kantor Residen Jambi pada tanggal 15 Januari 2014, keadaan ini disebabkan karena hingga saat ini kesatuan tersebut belum memiliki bangunan permanen sebagai markas direktorat sendiri, oleh karena itu didorong keinginan untuk melestarikan dan rasa cinta terhadap peninggalan sejarah, dimana gedung tersebut adalah tempat pertama pemerintahan Jambi dan pada awalnya dalam keadaan kotor, tidak terawat dengan baik, maka Ditpolair berinisiatif memugar dan mencoba merawat secara maksimal tanpa merubah konsep aslinya, sehingga terlihat pada saat ini dalam kondisi yang elok, bersih, terawat dan asri, dengan tampilan klasik seperti wajah awal dimana gedung tersebut dibangun. Tampilan jadul dengan ciri kasnya ala bangunan Belanda tahun 1906, dan luar biasa klasiknya.

Redes LTE Comunitárias no Brasil: Modelamento, Implantação e Manutenção Sustentáveis com base em Novos Paradigmas de Redes.
Projeto financiado pela FAPESP Processo: 18/23101-0
Resumo
Em relatório publicado pelo Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil (CGI.br) em 2018, em termos de acesso à Internet por banda larga no Brasil, há uma ampla desigualdade entre as classes econômicas A/B (maior) e D/E (menor), fato evidenciado nas análises entre as áreas urbanas e rural. Além de evidenciar que cerca de 34% dos brasileiros ainda não possuem acesso à Internet, o relatório também explica que o acesso à Internet é um catalisador de desenvolvimento social, econômico e tecnológico: fato consagrado em diversas pesquisas internacionais e enfatizado pela organização Internet Society. Redes sem fio comunitárias têm se tornado um meio sustentável de promover meios acessíveis de conexão à Internet,tanto em áreas rurais remotas quanto em regiões urbanas densas. Em sua ampla maioria, redes sem fio comunitárias adotam a tecnologia wifi, no entanto apenas recentemente, devido ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias de código livre e de baixo custo, o padrão Long-Term Evolution (LTE) começou a ser explorado para estes fins. Logo, não há conhecimento na literatura acadêmica de estudos que busquem utilizar e melhorar o padrão LTE aplicado à redes sem fio comunitárias. Nesse escopo, esta proposta busca trazer conceitos inovadores de novos paradigmas de redes, Redes Definidas por Software (Software Defined Networks -SDN) e Virtualização de Funções de Rede (Network Functions Virtualization - NFV), para o desenvolvimento de redes LTE comunitárias. Por meio de uma metodologia ágil de testes,conceitos de SDN e NFV serão aplicados no desenvolvimento de mecanismos que realizem o gerenciamento inteligente de recursos de redes LTE comunitárias visando desempenho eficiente e tolerância a falhas robusta, i.e., a sustentabilidade da rede. Todos estes estudos serão feitos tendo por base um levantamento de características de redes sem fio comunitárias em operação no Brasil proposto para o início do projeto. Ao final, a execução desta proposta irá produzir um material didático elucidando as formas de modelamento, implantação, e manutenção sustentável de uma rede LTE comunitária nos moldes dos estudos realizados por esta proposta (i.e., com todos os dados, avaliações, metodologias, e protótipos). Este material será utilizado como base de uma proposta de implantação de uma rede LTE comunitária no Brasil junto ao programa "Beyond the Net" da Internet Society.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

FIT@BR –
a Future Internet Testbed in Brazil
2. Summary
• A major objective of the Brazil-EU FIBRE project is the
deployment in Brazil of FIT@BR, a wide-area network testbed
to support user experimentation in the design and validation
of new network architectures and applications.
• In this article, we describe the design and implementation of
the Control and Monitoring Framework (CMF) for the FIT@BR
testbed, which is based on three CMFs developed in existing
testbed projects.
• In order to take best advantage of different testbed
functionalities at different sites, FIT@BR is being created as a
federated testbed, which will facilitate future interoperation
with international initiatives.
2
3. About Future Internet (1/3)
• The current Internet has many limitations, which prevent its
continuous future development
• Overcoming limitations of today’s Internet requires changing
adopting a new architecture called Future Internet (FI)
• R&D in FI consists of:
– Discussion of characteristics of the new architecture for the
Internet;
– Elaboration of proposals for such an architecture;
– Evaluation and experimental demonstration of such
alternative proposals;
3
4. About Future Internet (2/3)
• FI triggered the development of testbeds for experimental
evaluation of alternative solutions for the Future Internet;
• In a number of countries, beginning in the United States,
Europe and Japan, such testbeds have been under
development for several years (since around 2008):
• GENI (U.S.) is building a single nationwide testbed
• FIRE (EU) has built a number of separate testbeds
• Japan: several testbeds - Akari, VNODE
4
5. About Future Internet (3/3)
• An FI testbed typically consists of:
• Storage and computational nodes
• Interconnection by a local and wide-area networks
• May include (typically wireless) access networks
• Providing testbeds for experimentation requires that
components should be:
• Programmable: to allow the testing of new proposals
• Virtualizable: to allow simultaneous experiments of distinct
proposals, without interference
• Instrumented: for quantitative testing
• For economy, it is common for such testbed facilities to share
common infrastructure with existing production networks

15. Control Frameworks in use in FIBRE
15
OFELIA Control Framework (OCF) was originally created in the
context of the OFELIA testbed project [www.fp7-ofelia.eu] but today it is
supported by a larger community where FIBRE and GEANT are present. OCF
is synchronized with other initiatives in USA (GENI) and is adopting an SFA-
oriented architecture (Slice-based Facility Architecture).
OMF is a framework with the focus on controlling and managing network
devices. It was developed based on XMPP in the Ruby language. The OMF
suite also provides OML (OMF Monitoring Library), which allows
instrumentation of applications for collecting measurements.
ProtoGENI is a control and monitoring based on an enhanced version of
the Emulab management software. The Emulab testbed is used to perform
experimental research on distributed systems. ProtoGENI was created to
provide the integration between Emulab and other testbeds in order to
build the Cluster C facility of GENI.
16. Federation
• The object of federation is to provide interoperation of
testbeds, permitting that an experimenter acquire and
manipulate resources which are not available locally.
• In principle, federation of testbed islands within the FIBRE
project is not expected to cause serious difficulties due to the
common features adopted in the CMFs in use
• OCF, OMF and ProtoGENI will soon all be compliant with
the SFA (Slice-Based Federation Architecture) interface
adopted in the GENI testbed.and thus may be federated
within the FIT@BR testbed
16
18. Benefits
• FIBRE is a showcase project in international
collaboration in Future Internet
– Demonstrate local capacity to collaborate with leading
European projects in this important area
– Provide local experimental facilities for validating and
demonstrating new FI proposals
– Provide opportunity for extension to and participation by
researchers from other Latin American countries
– Promote involvement of and technology transfer to the
productive sector, to prepare for Future Internet needs,
especially involving OpenFlow and SDN approaches.
18
19. Very significant recent results
• Brazilian representatives from FIT@BR participated in an
international meeting held in the US on July 23rd to discuss
effective interoperation of national/continental testbeds in
different countries
• Participants included:
– US: GENI
– EU: OFELIA, G-Lab, Fed4Fire
– Japan: VNODE
– Australia: NICTA
– Brazil: FIT@BR (FIBRE project)
• It was decided to work towards effective interoperation
(federation) with preliminary results in 2013
19
20. Conclusions
• The FIBRE project has been immensely useful for both
sides (BR and EU)
– For the European partners, extensions have been made to
the results developed in the OFELIA and OpenLab projects,
especially in technology for federating (integrating) diverse
testbeds.
– For the Brazilian partners, the collaboration with
experienced European exponents of activities in FI testbeds
has speeded the learning process, required to stand on our
own feet.
– Both sides are now collaborating in global federation of
testbeds, instigated by the GENI project in the US.
