Project Seminar on Leapmotion TechnologyAbhijit Dey
This slideshow contains details about the technology packed in the Leapmotion Controller, a gesture tracking device, which can detect your hand gestures and finger movements to navigate and use different desktop or laptop apps on Windows and Mac.
Leap Motion is an American company that manufactures and markets a computer hardware sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as input, analogous to a mouse, but requires no hand contact or touching.

Description
Abstract: For several years, a prominent UK educational institution has been using a Scratch derivative to successfully teach adults how to program. Using a unique blend of interesting exercises based around a physical hardware board, they have inspired many adults to learn more about programming. Keen to allow more students to participate in the course, they commissioned a software simulator for their board which also emphasised improving the accessibility of the programming experience with keyboard input and sound output for the various UI elements. Due to the perceived age of the Squeak environment, bids for this work were considered in any language (using sockets and the remote sensor protocol), however I was able to show that the original Squeak Smalltalk environment was more than capable of delivering a sophisticated and elegant solution. Furthermore, while completing this work, I was very impressed with the possibilities that the accessibility features provided even to sighted students, and experimented using them to discover programming issues as well as program optimisations. In this session I will show some the coding challenges I faced, how I built an automated build environment, and demonstrate the potential of the accessibility features even in sighted programming. I will also show how trial usage using these techniques led to a surprising observation that resulted in a complementary and more efficient event mechanism.
Bio: Tim Mackinnon pioneered the use of eXtreme Programming (XP) in the UK in early 1999, and created one of the longest running XP teams at Connextra. Drawing from his prior experience of using Smalltalk, he co-invented Mock Objects, Gold Cards, and many retrospective practices. He is also the co-founder of XTC – a group that continues to inspire developers to share experiences with XP, Agile and software development, and which also organises the successful XPDay conferences. Tim now works with morethan.technology and provides targeted agile consulting at the management/board level, as well as advising software teams on the successful use of leadership, agile, and software development techniques.

Eclipse IoT Edje project: the software foundation for IoT devicesMicroEJ
The edge devices connected to the Cloud that constitute the Internet of Things (IoT) require support for building blocks, standards and frameworks like those provided by the Eclipse Foundation projects: Californium, Paho, Leshan, Kura, Mihini, etc. Because of the large deployment of Java technology in the Cloud, on the PC, mobile and server sides, most projects above are implemented in Java technology. Deploying these technologies on embedded devices requires a scalable IoT software platform that can support the hardware foundations of the IoT: microcontrollers (MCU). MCU delivered by companies like STMicroelectronics, NXP+Freescale, Renesas, Atmel, Microchip, etc. are small low-cost low-power 32-bit processors designed for running software in resource-constraint environments: low memory (typically KB), flash (typically MB) and frequency (typically MHz). The Edje project defines a standard high-level Java API called Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for accessing hardware features delivered by microcontrollers such as GPIO, DAC, ADC, PWM, etc. that can directly connect to native libraries, drivers and board support packages provided by silicon vendors with their evaluation kits. This talk aims at presenting the packages and API that constitute the core of Edje, defining the minimal foundation that iot.eclipse.org projects can rely on, and still compatible with economical constraints of the IoT: footprint.

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.

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.
