Vehicle to Grid ecosystem at scale: Utrecht case studyIRIS Smart Cities
Utrecht in the Netherlands is on track to deliver 2600 electric charging points in the city by 2025 - with many of them being bi-directional 'Vehicle to Grid' (V2G) enabled, making them part of a smart and sustainable ecosystem.
This scaleable solution for AC vehicle to Grid charging is a flagship policy in the city's energy transition and vision of healthy urban living.
It avoids extensive grid operations in inner cities and offers green and cheap power for an exploding number of electric vehicles.
Infill or Greenfield? Can we do Greenfield better? Learn the six universal truths about planned communities of the future, and the four locational variables that vary between regions.

Land Use Regulations: Overview of approval designation Nathan Mckee
This presentation focused on why the Columbia Planning and Zoning Commission chose to recommend a parcel of land for annexation and attempts to reverse engineer their likely thought process. In the presentation, I focused on discussing short and long term goals of the city, various assumptions about population growth, and how Columbia is reconciling those issues.

RV 2015: Sustainable Corridors: Broad and Specific Looks by Robert HastingsRail~Volution
What does it mean to build a sustainable corridor? How do you honor the overall goal of conserving resources, but also engage stakeholders to develop the right type of project for their community? Take a wider look at the national perspective on building sustainable corridors. What is being done across the country to conserve resources and involve communities in these efforts? Then hear stories about a successful sustainable corridor in Portland; Albuquerque's BRT project; and an urban green plan to transform existing park-and-ride lots along Los Angeles' growing transit network into more sustainable places.

Semantic 3D City Models are the basis of a new generation of virtual reality. The most relevant objects within a city including manmade and natural objects are mapped to objects within a semantic 3D city model. These objects are classified, further substructured (e.g. a building is decomposed into roof and wall parts etc.), attributed, and have spatial and semantic relations to other objects. The international standard CityGML issued by the Open Geospatial Consortium provides a common vocabulary and definitions for describing and managing urban entities which enables interoperability over the many different cities all over the world.
This presentation shows how CityGML based semantic 3D city models are used to link data from diverse application fields like energy planning, disaster management, and environmental analyses on a stable ground. Special focus is on the support of strategic energy planning, demonstrated for the research project "Energy Atlas Berlin" that was funded by the "Climate KIC" of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT). We show the city-wide estimation of the energy demands of buildings including heating, electricity and warm water energy in the city of Berlin using available official geobase and statistical data integrated within the Energy Atlas Berlin.
The tools have been mostly developed at the chair of Geoinformatics at Technische Universität München (TUM). They are now being further developed in follow-up projects and applied with housing companies, energy suppliers, and urban retrofitting initiatives. For further information see the references on the last two slides.

Smart and sustainable is more than a philosophy in Gothenburg, it connects everything and everyone across their IRIS Smart Cities demonstration case. Discover their flagship activities in-depth here.
Anchored around the Johanneburg Science Park, a series of cutting-edge technologies and approaches are driving:
- An energy positive district
- Living lab-tested innovations in renewable energies and user behaviour
- A range of integrated 'Mobility as a Service' smart mobility initiatives
- and a City Information Model to collect, process and visualise vast amounts of data
The energy model on which the majority of cities in developed countries are based upon is characterized by centralization and unsustainability. Barcelona, being a Mediterranean city, faces the challenge to increase its solar energy supply, moving towards a more sustainable energy model, while strengthening the network's business sector.
ASCAME is committed to this initiative, in the framework of the European project FOSTEr in MED gathering together in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Navigation of Barcelona, several experts in the field of renewable energy, as well as companies, public authorities, universities and organizations that will analyse the state of sector, its’ trends and the business development scenario emerged.

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:
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.
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.

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.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into 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
