Using Utah's Linear Referencing GIS Layer: SGID93.Transportation.UDOTRoutes_LRSBert Granberg
Slides from UGIC 2011 conference in Logan (April 2011).
First half of slides (Bert Granberg AGRC) discuss what, why and how of the LRS dataset created by AGRC and UDOT to represent state and federal routes in Utah in a polylineM format.
Second half (Thomas McMurtry, Interplan) shows use cases where tabular data on traffic volume, accidents, projects, etc was linked to the GIS representation of the LRS for map display and query
Graph applications can be used to solve traffic control problems. A graph represents an intersection, with vertices representing traffic streams and edges representing the compatibility between streams. The traffic control problem aims to minimize waiting time for public transportation while maintaining optimal individual traffic flow. The compatibility graph of an intersection shows the connectivity and can be used to study the most efficient traffic control system to direct flow at maximum capacity with minimum edges or vertices. Controlling the edges in the graph's edge connectivity can minimize waiting times by placing traffic sensors on those edges and vertices.
Baking an FME Dashboard: Two Cups of Python & a Dash of FrustrationSafe Software
The Port of Seattle needed a way to audit FME transformations run by users, track which features were updated and when, and see transformation results and errors enterprise-wide. Jubal Harpster created a custom FME transformer that uses Python scripts on startup and shutdown to log information to a database, including user name, start and end counts, status messages, and errors, to create a dashboard view of FME workflow runs. Overcoming challenges around limited information available during startup and shutdown, as well as handling errors, required parsing log files and using additional techniques like published parameters, SQL, and setting FME to ignore errors.

Supply chain performance reporting and metrics -logistics digest 091112Thomas Tanel
Many managers see supply chain performance reporting and metrics as a huge time drain that results in a series of uncomfortable conversations and confrontations they would rather not endure. You cannot manage what you cannot measure, and your supply chain is one of the most important functions to manage. The good news is that you’re Logistics and Supply Chain Management people
are probably already doing a lot of measuring. The bad news is that they might not be measuring the right things. To measure your supply chain effectively, you must identify metrics that are appropriate for your organization and that will improve business performance.

What Are You Worth? Measuring Your Value-Add Through HR MetricsRachel Salley
This document discusses the importance of HR metrics and how they can help HR demonstrate value to the organization. It explains that HR metrics should be tied to organizational strategy and measure factors that are important to company leaders like revenue, profit growth, and productivity. The document provides examples of how HR metrics could be defined to support an organizational strategy focused on cost cutting, customer satisfaction, and developing new technology. It emphasizes that HR metrics need to be easy to understand, directly related to business issues, and able to identify trends and problems to help HR bring value to the organization.
Essential SEO Analytics: The Performance Metrics That Truly Count Rhea Drysdale
The document discusses essential SEO metrics and how to use them effectively. It recommends focusing metrics on business objectives rather than arbitrary goals. Specific metrics mentioned include organic traffic, conversions, backlinks, and indexed pages. The document also cautions that metrics are only useful if they drive corrective actions, and provides an example of how linking building was improved by focusing on relevance, engagement, and quality over just quantity.
Want to finally get a clear, accurate, and timely view of your revenue, expenses, cash flow, and profitability? Look at Intacct cloud financials for reporting for today's challenges.
Ceragon Networks reported its financial results for Q1 2013, with revenues of $90.1 million, down 19% from Q1 2012. The company saw increased revenue in Latin America but declines in other regions. Gross margin was 31.9%, consistent with prior periods. Research and development expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.5% due to increased investment. This led to a non-GAAP net loss of $5.7 million compared to a loss of $2.2 million in Q1 2012. The report included analysis of revenue by region and customer type, profit and loss, cash flow, balance sheet items and a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results.
This document discusses metrics for measuring the progress and growth of a startup product. It introduces cohort analysis using Google Analytics to track user acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, and referrals over time. The author advocates delivering value to customers, analyzing feature usage and time to complete actions, and running experiments to validate hypotheses about growth rather than setting requirements. Metrics should accelerate learning through experiments rather than be tasks on their own.
The document discusses various marketing metrics and financial concepts using analogies to driving a car and playing golf. It states that just as a driver needs multiple gauges and mirrors to safely operate a vehicle, marketers need a balanced set of metrics beyond just sales revenue to properly measure performance. It also draws parallels between maintaining a golf handicap through consistent scoring and marketers tracking metrics over time to predict future performance and understand risks. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding financial concepts for marketers to communicate effectively with executive leadership and make financially-sound decisions.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
2. Road-Trip Agenda
Purpose of the trip
Why we’re travelling
Where’s the fire?
What’s the problem, aren’t the roads
mapped?
(otherwise known as “all roads aren’t
created equal”)
3. Purpose of the Trip
Supporting our protective services
Standardize
Regionalize
Automate
4. Background
St. Albert RCMP detachment is the primary 9-1-1
call centre
Fire Department does fire services equipment
dispatching
Alberta Health Services (AHS) does the
ambulance dispatching
St. Albert operates ambulances under contract to
AHS
St. Albert GIS supplies data for all three systems
6. Assumption
If it is good enough for the Fire
Department, then it is good
enough for Alberta Health
Services (AHS) and the RCMP
7. Known 9-1-1 Data CAD Uses
9-1-1 (secondary) call
matching.
The geocoding of the Telus
ANI/ALI feed.
Primary call matching =
address points.
Fastest route calculation.
Interactive dispatch map
display.
8. Regional Road Network
(Follow the Smoke)
Inputs: St. Albert, City of Edmonton, Sturgeon
County
Output Target: FDM Street Requirements
Non-matching table structures
Nothing meets FDM structure needs
Target update cycle: quarterly
Automate as much as possible
9. Data Notes
St. Albert road data is updated whenever roads
and addresses change.
Significant work completed to meet FDM
requirements.
City of Edmonton road data
Downloaded quarterly
Static data model
Most information compiled into single fields
Sturgeon County – very rough; requires TLC
10. The “It’s Not Pretty” Road to Deliverance
X 3
• Identify line
direction.
• Assign FDM street
classes.
• Extract quadrant
information.
Extract and reclassify
street name types.
Combine into
single dataset
and export to
shapefile
Combine and
remap St.
Albert and
Sturgeon Cty

14. Off To The Big City (Edmonton)!
Individual input layers for each arterial, collector,
and local class. Alleys ignored.
Fully concatenated street names.
Street name types are not abbreviated.
Two different street classifications – they don’t
match our FDM classes.
Names ALL CAPITALIZED.
Data table structure is static.
16. What’s In A Name?
If you’re Edmonton, apparently everything
including the kitchen sink.
My
personal
favorite!
17. What’s In A Name?
Prefix(e.g. SouthTerwilligar Drive)
Name Only part (e.g. Stony Plain Road)
Name Type – using standard MSAG abbrev.
(e.g. Avenue = AV; Crescent = CR)
Suffix(e.g. Everitt Drive North; 112 Street
NW)
Also need a Display Name for the CAD map.
(e.g. Coal Mine Rd)
