Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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).

11. OUR SOLUTION
Transform the University of California’s UCPath local development
team into a hybrid, global workforce with Smart ERP Solutions’ on-site
and offshore resources.
Implement processes to ensure quality solutions are delivered.
Adhere to best practices with implementing vendor-delivered solutions
and system updates
13. TRADITIONAL RESOURCING
Traditional local resourcing model has highly skilled resources focused
on many activities throughout the life of a project:
Collaboration with functional analysts;
Reviewing functional design specifications;
Authoring technical specifications;
Development;
Unit Testing; and
Defect Resolution
This generally results in a single-tracked work stream – the same
resource performs the technical work from beginning to end.
14. OFF-SHORE RESOURCING
Traditional off-shore resourcing allows companies to:
Focus on core business activities;
Increase speed of delivery;
Reallocate internal resources to work on other activities; and
Scale up or down with short notice
This generally results in quick results, but at some point, your
organization will need to consider whether there is a need to own and
maintain the system, rather than continuing to outsource the work.
15. UCPATH HYBRID RESOURCING
We implemented a solution which
incorporated many of these facets, and
transformed the development team into a
hybrid, international workforce.
The results:
Focus highly skilled resources to key project areas;
Shortened delivery time;
Maintain ownership of software;
Scalability and flexibility; and
Extended support capability.
A major factor in the success of this approach relied on strong processes!

23. CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE IN OMCS
Regular
maintenance and
patching of
systems is critical
to the upkeep
and security of
your systems and
data!
Regular “data
center”
maintenance is
expected to meet
the hosting
provider’s
standards.

• Latest fully-applied update image
• Environment to validate delivered functionality
• Required to support complexity of implementation
Implementation Release – Installed at UC
25. UCPATH, SMART ERP, AND THE PEOPLESOFT
SELECTIVE ADOPTION MODEL
With the complexities of having simultaneous production and project
work streams, UCPath decided to leverage the PeopleSoft Selective
Adoption Model, selecting specific features and functionality from a
PeopleSoft Update Image upon release.
All production code updates are merged into the project code line
weekly, introducing many activities:
Regular execution of Compare Reports
Functional and technical analysis of Compare Reports
Code retrofits
Retesting
Smart ERP optimized and simplified the most laborious tasks – the
analysis of the Compare Reports, saving many hours of effort on a
weekly basis.
27. UCPATH, SMART ERP, AND THE PEOPLESOFT
SELECTIVE ADOPTION MODEL
Using the PeopleSoft Selective
Adoption Model, the Change
Assistant automatically selects
dependencies based on state of the
target system.
Because the Change Assistant
package can differ, Smart ERP
enhanced the utility to support
UCPath by identifying the
application extension and function
was impacted.
This saves many hours of functional
and technical analysis each time new
features are brought in from a
PeopleSoft Update Image.
29. KEY TAKEAWAYS
RESOURCING – There are many people and firms willing
to work on your implementation. There is no “right” or
“wrong” mix. The key is to find those who “fit”, will partner
and work with you, and ensure your company is in the best
position possible when the project is over.
They should be easy to work with, adopt your company’s
standards and practices, and enhance your environment
when they see challenges.
30. KEY TAKEAWAYS
PROCESSES – Don’t hesitate to update “traditional”
processes when the dynamics of the team change. Things
will operate differently with a local staff as compared to
a global staff, and even with independent consultants or a
major firm.
Establish processes which facilitate the best results.
Consider all types of scenarios, from the routine to the
extreme, and be clear on how they can be handled.
31. KEY TAKEAWAYS
MAINTENANCE – Every PeopleSoft application requires
maintenance, regardless if it is in your data center or
hosted in the cloud. Every cloud infrastructure has virtual
and physical servers behind it. Stay current on patches
and updates. Let hosting services protect themselves by
patching as well.
If using managed services, be knowledgeable of the
contractual obligations for system maintenance. There may
be activities you can perform yourself; there may be
activities you schedule with the service provider.
