Title: How Changing Mobile and Media Technologies is Changing The Way We Create Innovations
According to Schumpeter's definition of "Innovation," all the innovation instances are combinations of technologies that already exist. In that context, this talk covers the combination of progress of mobile network technologies and media understanding technologies. When the first mobile phones of 2nd Generation came out, people thought it was only for speech communication and texting. Then the phones got cameras, GPS. accelerometers, near filed communication devices together with fat communication pipes, people in all walks of life started using mobile phones in various opportunities. It is noteworthy that the progress of media understanding applications remarkably creates big data in a way of virtuous cycle by service and technology developments. This talk also highlights big-data driven service developments and API strategies for mobile innovations as well as technologies.

Supercharging CPaaS Growth & Margins with Identity and Authentication
Aditya Khurjekar, GM Prove Protocol
Mobile networks were designed for communication, yet commerce is driving most of the demand for mobile connectivity today
The growth segments in today’s digital economy benefit from CPaaS APIs for Identity verification, authentication, proofs & claims
Commerce-enabling CPaaS APIs rely on the intrinsic security of mobile network and devices
Deterministic (rather than probabilistic) authentication drastically reduces fraud, hence increases margins
The secure element in mobile devices has been under-utilized by carriers
FIDO standard presents a horizontal application opportunity for hardware based (deterministic) authentication
Authenticated ID verification is key to secure yet seamless digital onboarding, leading to financial inclusion & consumer protection
The needs of the new crypto-based (web3) economy can also be satisfied with smart CPaaS offerings that preserve anonymity/pseudonymity
The imminent ubiquity of eSIMs is timely to fight fraud in the increasingly sophisticated digital & crypto-enabled economy

Time to ditch the ‘dumb-pipe’ – reinventing the core mobile network, to put developers first.
Mike Bromwich, CEO / Co-Founder Stacuity & Tim Dowling, Co-Founder Stacuity
The emergence of public cloud has revolutionized the way developers can muster and deploy virtual infrastructures, as and when required.
In contrast, mobile networks are still rigidly defined and protected by operators, who are unable or unwilling to offer such control and flexibility.
As a result, the mobile network operates as little more than a dumb-pipe (unless you have lots of patience and deep pockets).
Addressing this problem requires a different approach, not just the creation of a thin façade over legacy network elements.

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).

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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.
Truphone isn’t focused on internal, in-country markets, but rather on the external, global market. Based on advanced technology and patented innovations, our pioneering network can transform how you communicate with all your contacts, both home and away.
Traditional operators provide customers one point of presence (POP). This means all usage for that customer has to go through that single point, regardless of where they are physically. A German customer in the US cannot have their usage sent through the US POP, for example – all usage has to travel to the German POP, then back to the customer in the US.
Truphone is different because it operates six POPs which together create a global network. Usage routes to the geographically nearest POP rather than a single pre-designated POP, meaning Truphone offers faster data, better call quality and reduced cost in many circumstances, avoiding high traffic areas or other issues (e.g. conflict and act of god). Additionally, if one POP goes down, customers can still be served via the others. The decentralised infrastructure makes the network more resilient to faults.
If a disaster wipes out the LA POP, for example, US customers are still served by the New York POP.
Specific technical benefits of Truphone’s approach over other networks include:
Improved call quality, with no echoes or fading calls
Improved network quality control, with better service management
Improved signal resilience, with each Zone country connected to at least two POPs
Truphone’s approach also allows a better data experience. Using POPs that are physically closer to the user eliminates latency to the point that Truphone can reach speeds of up to 20MB/s, compared to other operator speeds of just 3MB/s.
Automate this experience
So now we are in bundles in 66 countries
While the Truphone Zone - with its seamless local presence and in-country phone numbers - still includes 8 countries, an additional 58 nations are included within Truphone World packages. This allows customers to call, surf, download and text between any of these 66 countries, while using their monthly package allotments.
Any time a customer is physically located within the eight Truphone Zone countries, all inbound phone calls, from anywhere in the world, are free.
When new customers purchase Truphone plans, the 66 Truphone World countries are automatically included in their bundles.
Truphone World countries are also included in plans for Truphone non-legacy customers. Legacy customers will have to upgrade in order to receive the benefit of Truphone World.
Truphone World allows customers who are physically located in any of the 66 countries to use their voice, data and texting bundle when contacting another of these countries.
Talk, text, surf and download from more destinations worldwide
Truphone is a new approach to global communication – a single, unified network.
Global approach – the way telecoms should have been from the start; consistent and seamless
Unified infrastructure allows unique features, such as The Truphone Zone
Overcome limitations imposed by traditional networks
Does not require new hardware or training – your phone is the same in every regard.
But now we need to talk about the more interesting dimensions
You all know the ideal of
And if your Japanese then you also have SKY. Or otherworldliness…
So, who cares about voice?
If I care about coverage and user experience, then I care about LTE. For High-def voice we need LTE.
Coverage and user experience vs lack of spectrum
No trying to solve spectrum crunch now
Machines cannot be creative because ONLY HUMANS can grasp the unseen, unknown, the complexity behind “rules”.
Why rules might exist, the societal or contemporary context, the capability to BEND those rules, or the rationale to break them.
Or ALL of these thoughts or considerations at the same time.
As rules-based machines, computers are incapable of seeing beyond the computational construct.
They are not creative.
