The statement that Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and unmanned system (UxV) technologies such as drones are, today, more widely available to industry, researchers and hobbyists alike than ever before will come as no surprise. There are those who believe that the proliferation of high-tech products such as these pose a threat to society on many levels. However, from a digital or virtual heritage standpoint, and in the right hands, they also offer exciting and, increasingly, affordable possibilities in both the development and delivery of rich interactive, educational experiences to a wide range of end users and audiences. This presentation will describe a number of (predominantly, but not exclusively) maritime heritage case studies developed during 2014 and 2015 where VR, AR and drone technologies have been used to excellent effect in surveying and digitally reconstructing remote, often inaccessible sites, and in presenting the results to a wide range of communities and ages. Included within the case study portfolio are the wrecksites of the SS James Eagan Layne (Whitsand Bay, 1945); HM Submarine A7 (Whitsand Bay, 1914); the Maria (Firestone Bay, Plymouth, 1774) – host vessel to the first ever submariner fatality; the Hooe Lake wrecks in Plymouth; the UK’s first subsea habitat – the GLAUCUS (1965) – now just a rusting hulk off the Breakwater Fort in Plymouth; and the Anne (1690) shipwreck project, which featured the first ever digital resurrection of an historic vessel using Augmented Reality techniques from a quadcopter in flight over the ship’s final resting place on Pett Level Beach near Hastings.

https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-25/dc-25-speakers.html#Brown Game of Drones - 2017 When you learned that military and law enforcement agencies had trained screaming eagles to pluck drones from the sky, did you too find yourself asking: “I wonder if I could throw these eagles off my tail, maybe by deploying delicious bacon countermeasures?” Well you’d be wise to question just how effective these emerging, first generation ‘drone defense’ solutions really are, and which amount to little more than ‘snake oil’. There is no such thing as “best practices” when it comes to defending against ‘rogue drones’ – period. Over the past 2 years, new defensive products that detect and respond to ‘rogue drones’ have been crawling out of the woodwork. The vast majority are immature, unproven solutions that require a proper vetting. We’ve taken a MythBusters-style approach to testing the effectiveness of a variety of drone defense solutions, pitting them against our DangerDrone. Videos demonstrating the results should be almost as fun for you to watch as they were for us to produce. Expect to witness epic aerial battles against an assortment of drone defense types, including: • trained eagles and falcons that hunt ‘rogue drones’ • fighter drones that hunt and shoot nets • drones with large nets that swoop in and snatch up ‘rogue drones’ • surface-to-air projectile weapons, including bazooka-like cannons that launch nets, and shotgun shells containing nets • signal jamming and hijacking devices that attack drone command and control interfaces • even frickin’ laser beams and Patriot missiles! We’ll also be releasing DangerDrone v2.0, an upgraded version of our free Raspberry Pi-based pentesting quadcopter (basically a ~$500 hacker’s laptop… that can also fly). We’ll be giving away a fully functional DangerDrone v2.0 to one lucky audience member! So come see what’s guaranteed to be the most entertaining talk this year and find out which of these dogs can hunt!

Drone-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

shivu1234

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a Drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. UAVs can be remote controlled aircraft (e.g. flown by a pilot at a ground control station) or can fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems A UAV is defined as being capable of controlled, sustained level flight and powered by a jet or reciprocating engine. In addition, a cruise missile can be considered to be a UAV, but is treated separately on the basis that the vehicle is the weapon. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are aircrafts that fly without any humans being onboard. They are either remotely piloted, or piloted by an onboard computer. This kind of aircrafts can be used in different military missions such as surveillance, reconnaissance, battle damage assessment, communications relay, minesweeping, hazardous substances detection and radar jamming. However they can be used in other than military missions like detection of hazardous objects on train rails and investigation of infected areas. Aircrafts that are able of hovering and vertical flying can also be used for indoor missions like counter terrorist operations To download this ppt click on this link https://adf.ly/PdL4V

Drones: Present & Future

Fresh Digital Group

Drones are a different kind of new technology from what we’re used to. They offer something else: the conquest of physical space, the extension of society’s compass, the ability to be anywhere and see anything. For the past few years, one of the most exciting class of gadgets on display has been drones. They got cheaper, lighter, and easier to use even as they became more powerful. We believe 2015 is an important year for drones as they will change how brands interact with consumers in both advertising and events, and here's everything you need to know about the drone technology.

Get Cloud Resources to the IoT Edge with Fog Computing

Biren Gandhi

Fog Computing as a foundational architectural concept for Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Everything (IoE). Embedded devices in the IoT are hampered by the compute, storage, and service limitations of living life on the edge. As IoT edge devices comprise broader sensor networks for industrial automation, transportation, and other safety critical applications, their high uptime requirements are nonnegotiable and service latencies must be kept within realtime or near real time parameters. However, the size, weight, power, and cost constraints of edge platforms also inhibit the ondevice resources available for executing such functions. In this session, Gandhi will introduce Fog Computing, a new paradigm for the IoT that extends compute, storage, and application resources from the cloud to the network edge. Beyond the interplay between Fog and Cloud, Gandhi will show how Fog services can be leveraged across a range of heterogeneous platforms—from end user devices and access points to edge routers and switches—through software technology that facilitates the collection, storage, analysis, and fusion of data to drive success in your next IoT device deployment.

Fog Computing Reality Check: Real World Applications and Architectures

Biren Gandhi

Is Fog Computing just a buzz or a real business? The IoT is flooded with a variety of platforms and solutions. Fog Computing has been notably appearing as an evolving term in the context of IoT software. There is skepticism that Fog Computing is just another buzzword destined to disappear in the dust of time. Get insight from concrete business cases in a variety of IoT verticals – Agriculture, Industrial Manufacturing, Transportation, Smart & Connected Communities etc. and learn how Fog Computing can play a substantial role in each one of these verticals. Develop a judicious point of view with respect to the future of Fog Computing through market research, technology disruption vectors and ROI use cases presented in this session.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
