A new Ericsson ConsumerLab report looks at what makes a city a desirable place to live.
Among the findings is that people in megacities give mobile network coverage the fourth-highest satisfaction rating, alongside water distribution and the availability of social spaces, ranging from cafés to entertainment facilities. On the other hand, poor air quality and lack of parking lead to dissatisfaction.

The concept of “smart cities,” which employs Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as connected sensors, meters and lights to collect and analyze data to improve public infrastructure and services, holds the promise to dramatically change the way citizens live, work and get around. But is there a way to tangibly measure these benefits?
Yes, there is. An Intel-sponsored study by Juniper Research estimates that smart cities have the potential to “give back” a remarkable 125 hours to every resident every year. Additionally, the study ranks the top 20 smart cities worldwide across four key areas: mobility, health care, public safety and productivity, and reveals how these cities deliver positive outcomes for increased time savings and productivity, increases in health and overall quality of life, and a safer environment.
Megacities provide some of the world’s most dynamic and stimulating places to live. But they also bring their own specific challenges. The maturity level of a city can help identify the most appropriate ICT solutions.

These documents present the conclusions of the study “Leveraging ICT for the BoP” sponsored by AFD-Proparco, Ericsson, ICCO, France Telecom-Orange, and TNO and conducted by Hystra and Ashoka from October 2010 to June 2011. This study aimed to learn from “what works” in terms of full projects (as opposed to technologies) combining both an economically viable model and socio-economic impacts on their end-users, in the field of ICT for development (ICT4D). This work is thus based on the screening of existing projects led by various types of actors (social entrepreneurs, NGOs, private companies…), in 4 sectors of “development” where ICT has already shown it could play a key role: healthcare, education, agriculture, and financial services. 15 of the most ground breaking market-based business models, with a proven scale and results on the ground showing that ICT can be a lever improving the living standards of the BoP, are analysed in depth in the report to support the main conclusions.
We hope that this report, like ICT itself, will not be an end but part of the means to create more effective approaches to foster development.

Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report 2010 – Technology for GoodEricsson France
To mark the launch of Ericsson’s Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report 2010 – Technology for Good, we hear from company President and CEO Hans Vestberg on the significant role of sustainability in the Networked Society. He also outlines the company’s sustainability priorities for 2011.
Technology for Good is the theme of the latest Ericsson Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility report. It highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to apply innovation to market-based solutions that empower people and society to help create a more sustainable world. These efforts are central to the transition to the Networked Society – a world where everything that would benefit from being connected will be connected.
Vestberg addresses what he calls the three pillars, which will facilitate the sustainable transformation to the Networked Society: connectivity technology itself; the global reach of existing networks; and the socio-economic benefits delivered by broadband technology.
He talks about how solutions targeted at different sectors – such as consumers, institutions or enterprises – build on the three pillars, with resulting benefits for society and sustainability.
Vestberg also talks about his three sustainability priorities for 2011:
- Developing scalable market-based solutions (in sectors such as health care and education) that can be replicated, preferably on a global scale
- Maintaining Ericsson’s sustainability leadership position, incorporating company ways of working with Ericsson products
- Being a voice for the role of sustainability and Technology for Good in the Networked Society through advocacy with stakeholders such as customers, governments, ICT players and other industries.
In his introductory letter to the Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report 2010 – Technology for Good, Vestberg says broadband and mobility are revolutionizing the way health care and education are being provided.
"As a catalyst for more sustainable development, we have only begun to tap the possibilities of the Networked Society," he says. "The transformational power of ICT to spur socioeconomic development and put us on the path to a low-carbon economy has never been greater."

Ericsson white paper - Device connectivity unlocks valueEricsson France
Device connectivity unlocks value – operator opportunity in an emerging business environment
New revenue opportunities are emerging for mobile operators through the delivery of machine-to-machine (M2M) and consumer-device connectivity services, which add value for enterprises and consumers. Maximizing revenues in this area demands a cost-efficient, flexible approach that enables a high degree of differentiation and customization.
The world is already highly connected and it's about to get even more so: today, there are about five billion mobile subscriptions worldwide. As devices of all kinds become connected, there will be more mobile subscriptions than people on the planet. Ericsson envisions an increase in the number of connected devices by a factor of ten over the coming decade.
The mass market for M2M and consumer device connectivity is growing fast and represents an enormous opportunity for mobile operators who can address the challenge of delivering cost-effective and customized connectivity with minimal process costs.
A broad range of industries will deploy connected devices; everything from transport and health care, mining and agriculture, to manufacturing and commerce (in areas such as point of sale, vending, remote information displays and digital signage).
To serve the divergent needs of these different segments, operators will need provisioning systems capable of handling very large numbers of connections, as well as infrastructure with QoS mechanisms that can handle massive amounts of simultaneous differentiated sessions.

Etude exclusive Ericsson sur la TV : la consommation “on demand” et payante va nettement s’accentuer
Le marché de la consommation de contenus télévisuels va continuer de connaître des transformations radicales. C’est l’un des enseignements majeurs d’une étude dévoilée le 26 août par le Consumer Lab d’Ericsson lors d’une conférence de presse à Londres. Les principaux leviers du changement proviennent de la télévision par Internet (IPTV), des tablettes tactiles et d’une consommation de contenus à la demande. L’étude estime également que les contenus payants seront en hausse dans un avenir proche si la qualité et la facilité d’usage sont satisfaits. L’étude reflète les résultats de 7 marchés majeurs équivalant au total à 300 millions de consommateurs.

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!

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.

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.

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).
