Physics of Failure (also known as Reliability Physics) is a science-based approach for achieving Reliability by Design. The approach is based on research to identify and understand the processes that initiate and propagate mechanisms that ultimately results in failure. This knowledge when used in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) durability simulations and reliability assessment can evaluate if a new design, under actual operating is susceptible to the root causes of failure such as fatigue, fracture, wear, and corrosion during the intended service life of the product.
The objective is to identify and eliminate potential failure mechanisms in order to prevent operational failures through stress-strength analysis to produce a robust design and aid in the selection of capable manufacturing practices. This is accomplished by modeling the material strength and architecture of the components and technologies a product is based upon to evaluating their ability to endure the life-cycle usage and environmental stress conditions the product is expected to encounter over its service life in the field or during durability or reliability qualification tests.
The ability to identify and quantify the specific hazard risks timeline of specifics failure risks in a new product while it is still on the drawing board (or CAD screen) enables a product team to design reliability into a product by revising the design to eliminate or mitigate failure risks. This capability results in a form of Virtual Validation and Virtual Reliability Growth during the a product’s design phase that can be implemented faster and at lower costs than the traditional Design-Build-Test-Fixed approach to Reliability Growth during a product’s development and test phase.
This webinar compares classical reliability concepts and relates them to the PoF approach as applied to Electrical/Electronic (E/E) System and technologies. This webinar is intended for E/E Product Engineers, Validation/Test Engineers, Quality, Reliability and Product Assurance Personnel, CAE Modeling Analysts, R&D Staff and their supervisor.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. 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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. 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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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.

15. Demand for Uranium Rising
Nuclear Capacity Forecast by Region (1980-2030)
Source: UxC’s Uranium Market Outlook
16. Supply / Demand Gap Increasing
• Mine supply (~130M lbs U3O8 in 2010) cannot meet current demand (182M lbs in 2010), nor is it
expected to grow at the same pace as future demand
• Increasing share of world production coming from less stable regions – Kazakhstan & Africa

17. Understanding Virginia’s Moratorium
• Per Virginia Code §45.1-274, Uranium exploration is permitted
• Per Virginia Code § 45.1-283
– “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, permit applications for
uranium mining shall not be accepted by any agency of the
Commonwealth prior to July 1, 1984, and until a program for
permitting uranium mining is established by statute.”

18. Virginia’s Uranium Studies
1981: Virginia General Assembly approves House
Resolution 324 Requesting Va. Coal & Energy
Commission (“VCEC”) to evaluate uranium
1983: Uranium Administrative Group (“UAG”) established in
Senate Bill 155 that finds that a preliminary study
“…has not identified any environmental or
public health concern that could preclude
uranium development in Virginia.”
1984: Recommendation by 16 of 18 (89%) UAG
members
“We conclude that the moratorium
on uranium development can be lifted…”
2009: VCEC creates uranium mining sub-committee
to evaluate uranium again
2010: National Academy of Sciences undertaking new
scientific study on safety of uranium mining
2011: NAS study results expected Dec 2011
