The document summarizes the AGRICAB project, which used satellite data and models to help manage agriculture in Africa between 2011-2015. The 17 partner project developed methods to assess fodder biomass production and livestock mortality in several African countries using remote sensing. It trained over 100 people through workshops and supported several PhD students. The overall goal was to enhance the use of earth observation for agriculture and forestry management in Africa.

Philippe Baret_UCL - Feeding The planet in 2050 ?

Réseau LIEU (Liaison Entreprises-Universités)

This document discusses a project on agroecology led by Professor Philippe Baret of the Earth and Life Institute at the University of Louvain. The objectives of the project are to build a new sustainable agriculture paradigm, legitimate small-scale farming as an option for food security and environmental issues, and rebalance agricultural research funding. Agroecology proposes a new management approach for agricultural and food systems. Belgium leads in this area through a research network comprising scientists from multiple universities in Wallonia. The project examines challenges facing food systems and transitions to more sustainable models like alternative dairy systems through innovation within social and technical regimes.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides

DanBrown980551

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology. Power Grid Model The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services. Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability. Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization. What to expect For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned: -Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model. -An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024. -An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests. -An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024

Vadym Kazulkin

Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
