My first presentation at WhereCamp EU, relating to the work we're doing with Ubisense myWorld. In the title G=Google and the question has two meanings ... if you're a traditional GIS user, should you be using Google Maps or something similar (answer=yes), and given that, should you be using Google specifically (answer is it depends ... we no longer use Google App Engine, we do use Google Maps but have been testing OpenLayers for offline applications).
Wolters Kluwer Tech. Conference: Disrupting Mobile DevelopmentMax Katz
Most mobile apps today are built using traditional desktop tools. These tools are complex, need to be downloaded, installed, frameworks configured, and lack real-time collaboration. To build mobile apps fast, to stay ahead, and innovate in the enterprise, developers need new tools to create mobile apps. The new tools are running entirely in the cloud, offer real time collaboration, sharing, and connections to cloud APIs. In this live coding session attendees will learn about Appery.io platform, and how to build a mobile app connected cloud APIs. Creating re-usable API plug-ins will be shown as well. Attendees will be able to test the app on their phones as its being built.
While waiting for certified cloud solutions may be an option, it is also critical for clients to consider working with COTS suppliers and Systems Integration partners and begin their COTS migration journey to stay ahead of the competition.

Managing User Experience During Cloud MigrationseG Innovations
Competition in the digital services world is about managing the customer experience. The cloud is an operating model, and migrating workloads to the cloud involves much more than ‘lift & shift’. In fact, the heavy lifting of cloud migrations may be much more about people than technologies.
Managing customer expectations requires that the user experience be at least as good—if not better—after a cloud migration than it was before the migration took place. Customers really don’t care about the ‘cloud’ per se, they care about the outcomes that cloud-based services can provide.
Learn how you can manage customer expectations and leverage services-oriented monitoring as a program of work within a cloud migration.

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:

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.
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.

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).

Editor's Notes
I work for Oxford Archaeology as an IT Support and Development Officer, and also as a Geospatial Consultant for our spin-off consultancy OA Digital. Oxford Archaeology are the largest commercial archaeological unit in Europe, employing around 400 staff in 3 British and 2 French offices. We use GIS a great deal in all areas of our work, as almost all of it has a spatial component. We made a decision to go open source about 3 years ago, and haven't imploded yet! I was going to talk about cost savings and licensing, and boring things like that, but decided instead to look in a light-hearted way at the impact open source GIS has on the gis space, and might have on your business
Open Source provides three main advantages, outside of ideas such as cost These are: Interoperability, Modularity and Control With these in mind, it's possible to use open source within your business to expand what you can do in a flexible, fairly risk-free way
Interoperability is in basic terms the ability to share and interact. Open source GIS programmers have no financial reason to lock you in to a particular file format, or indeed to force you to change to a different format with every release of their software (Boeing) They have no reason not to make their file formats open, so more people can use them What this means is that without open standards, and the ability to share data between applications and users, there would be no Neogeography, no Where 2.0, no mashups
Open standards are the bed-rock of interoperability, and in the GIS world they derive directly from the open source software The Open Grass Foundation, founded in 1992 to look after GRASS, evolved into the Open Geospatial Consortium in 1994 In 2009 OGC and OSGeo signed a memorandum of understanding, partly around open source GIS packages being used as reference implementations of OGC standards
Open source GIS programmers are not trying to sell you a monolithic package that tries to do everything, or only works within their “stack” They don't subscribe to Zawinski's Law- that “every programme expands until it can read email” There's no 3 year license deal locking you in Open source gives you the chance to pick and choose the components that you need to do the job, changing as you need to
This means there's no need to change your existing work-flow if you don't want to You can slot modules into your “stack” as you need to, and can change individual components if necessary Regardless of what Steve Ballmer thinks, the open source licenses don't prevent you from using them with proprietary software. Open source is not cancer, or communism Modularity gives you the choice to pick the software that's right for you and your business, not what a salesman tells you is right
The open source license gives you the control over your software. You are not at risk of losing your software, or facing increased costs because the software vendor changes the terms of the license. The open source license is about providing freedom and fair use, not about restricting packages to people from particular countries, or on particular hardware platforms, or on a limited number of pcs/processors
If you accept that there is a place for open source within your organisation, what might this mean? I would argue that it gives you the freedom to try out new things without worrying too much about the cost- try before you buy! You can rapidly prototype new ideas, and diversify into new products without massive prior financial investment You can ensure that you get best value from your software- and your software vendor!
Thanks again for listening, this talk is available online with notes, should you wish to replay it in the comfort of your own office.
