What will be your position in the value chain?
Which applications will you serve now and later?
Which type of technology to build your future upon?
Our APRICOT 2019 presentation delivered by Rocky Zhou explored the optical technologies that are driving the transformation in metro networking. Open line systems are supporting best-in-class equipment deployment and optimized ROADM solutions are enabling deployment simplicity, space and power efficiency, and low first-in-cost. What's more, next-gen coherent solutions are revolutionizing metro capacity-reach options, delivering significant cost savings and service flexibility.
As part of the conference track "Next Generation Workflow & Digital Assets Management" during BroadcastAsia 2016, Hans Massart, Market Director Broadcast at Newtec, talked about "Managing Next Generation Broadcast Networks".
Following topics were discussed:
- Dealing with broadcasters’ operational challenges: more complex workflows, launching of new services, increased user expectations for always-on connectivity and pressure on efficiency in both the space and ground segments.
- Addressing increasing OPEX and CAPEX challenges through scalable and flexible multiservice IP-based platform to remain agile.
- Automation of broadcast workflows and enabling effective use of available resources.
- Capabilities a future-proof platform: scheduling and execution of workflows end-to-end over hybrid satellite/terrestrial networks

WiFi based localization of client devices is the new battlefront of wireless applications. Accuracy and easiness of implementation are the key success factors. Ruckus SPoT technology is the very first cloud-based LBS system. It limits the hassle of implementation (no additional hardware or APs needed) and improves the precision of positioning. It also opens doors for 3rd party LBS applications, like in-store navigation or museum self-guides.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

• Video Surveillance growing hugely
worldwide
• High Capacity networks with built in Future
Proofedness and IP’ification now the
modern way
• 5GHz bands are increasingly congested in
dense urban areas. Challenges in terms of:
• Backhaul Capacity
• Backhaul Reliability due to Interference
• Siklu’s mm wave links provide a compelling
alternative for wireless Video connectivity
• Huge capacity and no interference issues.

119. Trinity Technologies
The Repeatit Trinity technologies enhances PTP & PMP performance beyond traditional limits
AirTime
AirTime by Repeatit makes wireless transmission more efficient enhancing both PTP & PMP performance beyond
traditional limits, especially in high density & long distance environments. Through a unique algorithm, Repeatit’s
AirTime is able to command wireless radios exactly when to transmit and when to receive - reducing noise, which
greatly increases link efficiency and performance.
PacketHeal
Repeatit’s PacketHeal technology instantly heals lost & corrupted packets, eliminating transmit and receive errors
for all applications including HD video streaming, voice, multi-data and more. By allowing a safety period buffer
delay of a few milliseconds, PacketHeal is able to detect and respond to lost packets, without any traffic delay.
PacketHeal uses a 3 step process; lost packet detection, retransmission & reordering which takes place in
milliseconds.
SyncMaster
SyncMaster by Repeatit reduces interference & increases network performance by organizing multiple
collocated Trinity PTP/PMP units and allowing a smart reuse of the spectrum. SyncMaster reduces self
interference and protects against outside interference. Using an integrated time clock, SyncMaster co-ordinates
multiple units with exact send & receive slots creating a highly efficient network. SyncMaster also has a built in
GPS antenna which can communicate to other SyncMaster units installed on nearby masts also with collocated
Trinity units.
