ParaForming - Patterns and Refactoring for Parallel Programmingkhstandrews
Despite Moore's "law", uniprocessor clock speeds have now stalled. Rather than single processors running at ever higher clock speeds, it is
common to find dual-, quad- or even hexa-core processors, even in consumer laptops and desktops.
Future hardware will not be slightly parallel, however, as in today's multicore systems, but will be
massively parallel, with manycore and perhaps even megacore systems
becoming mainstream.
This means that programmers need to start thinking parallel. To achieve this they must move away
from traditional programming models where parallelism is a
bolted-on afterthought. Rather, programmers must use languages where parallelism is deeply embedded into the programming model
from the outset.
By providing a high level model of computation, without explicit ordering of computations,
declarative languages in general, and functional languages in particular, offer many advantages for parallel
programming.
One of the most fundamental advantages of the functional paradigm is purity.
In a purely functional language, as exemplified by Haskell, there are simply no side effects: it is therefore impossible for parallel computations to conflict with each
other in ways that are not well understood.
ParaForming aims to radically improve the process
of parallelising purely functional programs through a comprehensive set of high-level parallel refactoring patterns for Parallel Haskell,
supported by advanced refactoring tools.
By matching parallel design patterns with appropriate algorithmic skeletons
using advanced software refactoring techniques and novel cost information, we will bridge the gap between fully automatic
and fully explicit approaches to parallelisation, helping programmers "think parallel" in a systematic,
guided way. This talk introduces the ParaForming approach, gives some examples and shows how
effective parallel programs can be developed using advanced refactoring technology.
This is an overview how to build an OSGI EJB3 Server I gave at OSGIExpertsDay at JAX09.
The Server is build using:
Eclipse Equinox as OSGI Framework
Eclipse Riena for Remote OSGI Services
EasyBeans as OSGI EJB3 Container
Hibernate as JPA Provider
Clients are Rich Clients (Eclipse RCP)
The project is model-driven using UML (MagicDraw), EMF (Eclipse Modeling) and oAW (openArchitectureWare).

In both business and academia, reproducibility is the root of trust in computational results. Software engineering is critical to consistently support the work. Basic practices including systematic build, automatic tests, version control, and documentation will be discussed. The practices and a mix of programming languages enable developers to address the challenges in scientific computing by creating a flexible and high-performance platform. The fundamental idea is to generalize and segregate common constructs so that they can be reinforced during the whole cycles of code development, to enhance the confidence in the produced results. It is also necessary to engage in software development communities, as a means to improve productivity and give back.
Pushing the limits of ePRTC: 100ns holdover for 100 daysAdtran
At WSTS 2024, Alon Stern explored the topic of parametric holdover and explained how recent research findings can be implemented in real-world PNT networks to achieve 100 nanoseconds of accuracy for up to 100 days.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
