Webinar: Applying REST to Network Management – An Implementor’s View Tail-f Systems
This webinar gives an introduction to the principles of REST, shows how it can be used to expose programmable APIs on network elements and provides some real world examples from our implementation.
The principles of Representational State Transfer (REST) have gained a strong following since they were described by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation written in 2000. REST’s strength lies in its scalability and generality, allowing it to be used for many types of applications.
The industry has already seen a number of implementations of network management applications that use REST interfaces on the infrastructure management layer, notably OpenStack Quantum and the Sun Cloud API. As a vendor to the vendors, we’ve seen a significant increase in interest around having REST interfaces exposed directly on the network element, be they hardware based or virtual.

With so much attention on cryptographic protection of data in flight, as well as weaknesses discovered in existing cryptographic protocols and algorithms, z/OS administrators and auditors need to be able to assess the quality of the cryptographic network protection being applied to their z/OS workloads. But with so many protocols and so many ways to configure and use them, this assessment can be daunting if not downright impossible. This session introduces a new z/OS V2R3 Communications Server feature called z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) that provides the data that you need to build a complete picture of your z/OS cryptographic network protection posture.
Introduction to IBM Shared Memory Communications Version 2 (SMCv2) and SMC-Dv2zOSCommserver
IBM recently announced SMCv2 for SMC-Dv2. SMCv2 defines Shared Memory Communications for TCP/IP connections that span multiple IP subnets. This presentation will introduce how this new capability applies to SMC-Dv2 for z/OS V2R4 and ISMv2 for the IBM z15. The key concepts of the SMC-Dv2 will be introduced along with an overview of how to get started using the new solution with z/OS 2.4. The overview will also cover exploitation and configuration considerations for existing SMC-D users and for new SMC-Dv2 only users. In this presentation, customers will learn about this new capability and how this capability can extend the performance benefits of SMC-D to additional System Z workloads.
z/OS V2R3 Communications Server introduces HiperSockets Converged Interface (HSCI) support that provides the following benefits:
(1) Linux on z Systems Layer 2 and z/VM VSwitch Bridge Compatibility:
Clients prefer the administrative and operational advantages when configuring Linux guests with a single IP interface using a z System layer 2 configuration. The usability advantages are extended by the z/VM VSwitch bridge support allowing Linux guests to configure a single IP interface for HiperSockets providing both internal CPC and external LAN communications. The current z/OS HS support only provides layer 3 connectivity which is incompatible with this Linux and z/VM environment. The new z/OS V2R3 HSCI support resolves this issue by providing compatibility for both HS Layer 2 and Linux guests using HS with the z/VM VSwitch bridge.
(2) Improved ("hands free") HiperSockets Usability for z/OS Environments:
HSCI transparently "converges" a HS interface with your OSA interface providing transparent and dynamic access and usage of HS.
With the HSCI enhancement:
- Access to HS is achieved without requiring the z/OS network administrator to configure, provision, manage or operate a HS interface (e.g. an IP address is not required for HiperSockets).
- Relocating a z/OS instance to another CPC can be accomplished without making any HS definitions, changes or taking any operator actions to access HS on the new CPC. With HSCI your external LAN is "logically extended" within each CPC (over IQD) providing a single seamless LAN topology within your data center (i.e. the internal LAN is an extension of the external LAN). Once your OSA interface is restarted on the new CPC (z/OS location), your HSCI will dynamically be reestablished.

Enabling Application Integrated Proactive Fault ToleranceDai Yang
Exascale computing is the next major milestone for the HPC community. Due to a steadily increasing probability of failures, cur- rent applications must be made malleable to be able to cope with dy- namic resource changes. In this paper, we show first results with LAIK, a lightweight library for dynamically re-distributable application data. This allows to free compute nodes from workload before a predicted failure. For a real-world application, we show that LAIK adds negligi- ble overhead. In addition, we show the effect of different re-distribution strategies.

A Programmatic View and Implementation of XMLCSCJournals
XML as a markup language defines rules to encode data in a free format comprehensive by both human and machines. Usage of XML as a support for data integration, file configuration and interface definition is widely adopted and implemented by the software industry community.
The purpose of this paper is to examine an implementation of XML as a programming language, extending the capabilities offered by frameworks and simplifying the coding tasks. The code becomes a set of functions sharing the same pattern all written as XML parts. The defined language takes advantage from the predefined common libraries and provides a mean to invoke handlers from user interface components. Programmers take benefits from the simplicity of this language to apprehend quickly the logic implemented by a function, which result in an increase in maintenance quality and rapid development stability.

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.

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.

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.
