A presentation to supplement a presentation titled "Back to the Future: The Climate for Change and the Hydrographer of the Future" given at Hydrospatial21 held in cairns February 2022
This presentation describes activities at the Australian Army Survey Regiment, Fortuna, Bendigo, Victoria related to the introduction of digital mapping in the 1970s and 80s.
A presentation by Dr Bob Williams - retired topographic surveyor and cartographer. Fortuna was the 'home' of the Royal Australian Survey Corps' Army Survey Regiment and was an amazing place that deserves being recognised for its role in the development of computer mapping.
The article linked to (below) is somewhat of an odyssey. It commences with discussion on, possibly, the first land information system in Australia and my association with it - Eurobodalla.
It then briefly describes follow on applications including a military terrain-mapping product. Subsequent products cover the littoral zone for beach landings. So, it could be described as terrain intelligence.
This idea stemmed from the D-Day invasion maps (Benson and Bigot).
And, so, follows the Benson and Bigot story – an amazing cartographic accomplishment. To view a video of this stunning activity view the link at the end of the article.
Know and Understand Your World: A fellow in Arkansas and a Damaged HomeRobert (Bob) Williams
During the first two decades of this century we have observed, or experienced, truly significant events culminating in the Black Summer of fires in Australia and COVID-19 globally.
Our leaders and responders struggled under very difficult circumstances to improvise responses against extreme challenges.
The year is 2020 and yet paper maps and forms appear to be the means on which critical decisions are made for the planning and conduct of operations. The operations rooms may well have electronic versions of traditional products with an array of screens displaying a range of information types but our organisations have yet to embrace a geographic and environmental information infrastructure.
This document tells my story on the journey.
My reflection is the the Mid-70s to Mid-80s were Enlightening years. This presentation describes my activities for that timeline including studies at the Canberra College of Education

Tens of billions of kilometers away from earth, two space crafts are streaking
through the infinite interstellar space called Voyager 1 & Voyager 2. NASA
launched Voyager 1 on September 5, 1977, 16 days after the launch of Voyager 2.
The Voyager mission was designed to take advantage of a rare configuration of the
solar system’s giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In this
arrangement, which occurs roughly once every 175 years, the giants lined up in a
way that would allow the probes to harness each planet’s gravitational forces to
“swing” from one to the next with minimal self-propulsion. Both Voyager
spacecraft’s carry a greeting to any form of life, should that be encountered. The
message is carried by a phonograph record -- a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk
containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on
Earth. As of August 2017, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 20.8 billion kilometers
(139.3 AU) from the Sun. Voyager 2 was at a distance of 17.2 billion kilometers
(115 AU). Voyager 1 has left the solar system and the first man-made object to do
so and is preparing to go to its next destination – a star dubbed 'AC +79 3888'.
Voyager 1 is travelling at about 17 kilometers per second (11 mi/s) it has the fastest
heliocentric recession speed of any spacecraft. It will take a span of 40,000 years for
Voyager 1 to reach the star. Eons after humans have gone extinct and well after
the sun expands to swallow Earth entirely, V1 will still be traversing the universe,
silently charting entirely unknown territories.
Before the ISS_ Exploring the International Space Station's Predecessor.pdfGet2 knowit
As we marvel at the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting high above the Soil, it's simple to disregard that this uncommon accomplishment of designing and universal collaboration had humble beginnings. The ISS stands as a confirmation of human inventiveness and participation, but its roots follow back to a period when space investigation was starting to require shape. In this investigation, we delve into the interesting history of the International Space Station's predecessor, uncovering the orbital pioneers and models that cleared the way for the surprising space research facility we know nowadays.
Space Radiation Superconductive Shield (SR2S) is an EU funded FP7 project which is researching new technology to protect astronauts in space from radiation. On 9th April 2014 in Torino, Italy, SR2S held their first conference to give an update on the project so far.

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.

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.

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.

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).

.EU is a growing actor but no consensus on its future role
.Two turning points in the history of the European Space Policy
.In Europe, space activities are conducted at 3 levels
Kosovo war (1996) and failure of Galileo PPP (2007)
.The European Space Policy started as a purely intergovernmental
affair but gradually acquired supranational dimension
- GMES and GALILEO = flagship “test” programs / ESA = technical arm
- Diversity of national space policy logics (FR-GE-UK-IT)
- From FP4 and TRAN to Article 189 TFEU
- Space is a tool to conduct (new) EU policies (EA, Frontex, EDA, CFSP)
- However, there is a consensus on specific point (PR, ESA expertise, national program)
.The creation of ESA was not easy and favoured by the US attitude
Package deal (1973) + US restrictions to Symphony (1973)

GOALS
- Social
- Economic (EUROPE 2020+)
- Strategic (eco / pol
independance)
1. COPERNICUS (climate change) AND GALILEO
2. SECURE SPACE TO ACHIEVE SEC/DEF OBJECTIVES
- GMES MIL / DUAL / Frontex
- Making space infrastructure secure (SSA + COC)
- Pooling of MIL resources (MUSIS / EDA)
3. SPACE EXPLORATION
- ISS – Access to space (European launcher policy)
4. COMPETITIVENESS [189(2) TFEU]
- EU space industrial policy (PR, R§I, STAN, EU=client)
- SATCOM (60% turnover) and EU Digital Agenda
5. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
- Africa (GMES + EGNOS), COC, Bilat. (China, BRIC?)
- Climate change / humanitarian aid (EAS)
6. CLEAR GOVERNANCE [MS/ESA]
22. 20
.Parallel with the European Defence and Security Policy
(European Defence Agency only created in 2004)
.Optimism: - ESA was created during the oil crisis (1975)
- “Europe will not be made all at once, or
according to a single plan” (R. Schuman, 1950)
.Shift towards total EU management of space in Europe
does not look acceptable – (mixed competence)
.ESP will increase (SST/EU20+) resources (€ + expert.)
Treaty modification?
.In Europe, activites are conducted at 3 different levels
(equilateral? Isoceles? Random?)

The Future of space activities
Space sustainibility / Weaponization / Cooperation with China / Private
actors / budget constraints / Future of ISS / US leadership
USA EU RUSSIA
- Giant launcher?
- Flexible path?
- Commercial sector
- Transitional period
- Most advanced
- Space = military tool
- MoD vs NASA
- Space dominance
- ITAR?
- No more errors
- Future of ESA
- ATV to Orion with USA
- Institutional challenges
(not technical)
- Ariane VI
- Access to space?
- Arianespace, SES.
- UK?
- France – Italy -
Germany
- To continue ISS alone?
- Increased budget
- Behind USA
- Code of Conduct with
China
- Proton failure
(02.07.2013)!!!!!!
Attitude of CHINA will shape US policy (and vice versa)
CHINA replaced Russia as a new challenger
But no Kennedy’s “before the decade is out”

Policy case
Arianespace (1980)
Ariane program decided in 1973 (ESA CNES)
inaugural flight of Ariane 1 (1978)
First contract in 1979
Arianespace created in 1980 1st commercial LSP
impact of Challenger disaster (1986)
Ariane V critical period after inaugural flight failure
Starsem JU (Soyouz launched from Kourou)
New challenges: Ariane VI vs. SpaceX
Galileo (2000)
Kosovo war and US downgrading policy
Strategic aspects
US opposition (letter of Rumsfeld)
China to join?
EU Internal institutionnal challenges
Currently implemented
Owned by the EU
Shuttle (1973-2011)
Nixon: Apollo job is done, cut the plug
Nixon decides the Shuttle programm in 1973 (but abandon of Skylab)
EU to join financial efforts for Spacelab
RFA (53%), Italy (18%), France (10%)
All in one – reusable vehicle – one flight a week – 4 shuttles
Civ and Mil (Key Hole + SDI) – NASA (66%) MoD (34%)
3 satcoms paylod
Strategic error: abandon of other launcer Challenger (1986) benefit to Arianespace
Strategic error: no development of emergency spacecraft for ISS 100% rely on Soyouz
Design error? No ejection device (as opposed to Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Soyouz)
28. 26
Conclusion
Policies are defined by (social, military, economical, political)
needs and shapped by international law (principle of peaceful use
of Outer Space) new treaties?
China as a new challenger to replace Russia (but ASAT 2007!)
Budget contraints international cooperation
Future of ISS? Are space activities necessary? Christophe Columbus
Space = security and military aspects (ICBM, ITAR)
US space dominance/control (space weaponization)
Engineers to implement and propose
policies / politicians to make choices

Some figures
Steve Bochinger (EUROCONSULT), Les marchés spatiaux: structure, tendances globales et
perspectives in Droit de l’espace, Larcier ed. (2009), pp. 36-40.
NASA budget in 2006 = 16 bn $ (55% of total civil expenses in the world)
ESA budget = 2,5 bn $ (15% of NASA budget)
US MoD budget = 21,5 bn $
NASA exploration costs up to 2016 = 104 bn $ (EU annual budget = 145 bn)
In comparaison:
- Price 1 satellite + launch: 450 million $
- Airbus A380 = 300 million $
- EU budget in 2012 = 147 bn EUR
- EADS revenue in 2012 = 57 bn EUR
- Boeing revenue in 2012 = 82 bn $
