Augmented Reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or an indirect view of physical, real world environment whose elements are augmented by a computer generated sensory input such as sound or graphics.
It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with simulated one.
White pepper 4th july digital convergenceKumar Gaurav
Digital convergence refers to the merging of technologies like computers, communications, consumer electronics, entertainment and media through common digital formats. This merging occurs through devices that can exchange information, both physically through hardware and virtually through software interactions. While many devices have converged, we are still progressing towards full convergence. Smartphone users in India spend over 2.5 hours per day on their phones, with younger users spending more time on entertainment and browsing. Android users download and play more games than Symbian users. As digital convergence drives increased mobile adoption, marketers can leverage the mobile platform's many apps and location-based services for marketing through new channels like mobile coupons, NFC and augmented reality.

Augmented reality (AR) enhances one's current perception of reality by incorporating computer-generated sensory input such as sound, graphics, or GPS data. While virtual reality replaces the real world, AR augments it. AR is gaining popularity due to growing interest and applications in advertising, navigation, and entertainment. However, AR technology must become easier to use, more fun, and provide more utility before reaching mass adoption. Examples demonstrated how Mahindra used AR to showcase features of its vehicle and how National Geographic brought wildlife experiences to a mall, giving people a glimpse of how AR could be applied. Further development is still needed to move AR applications beyond simple experiments and gimmicks to meaningful real-world uses.

Ad agencies will look to better incorporate mobile into branding strategies and bring together digital and physical experiences.
The document discusses the differences between above-the-line (ATL) marketing which uses mass media advertising, and below-the-line (BTL) marketing which uses more targeted direct marketing approaches. It notes that while ATL aims for broad awareness, BTL allows for more measurable, personalized interactions. The document then outlines key channels for BTL, including database marketing, direct mail, email marketing and more customized approaches. It analyzes how BTL is becoming more prominent and replacing some ATL strategies due to its ability to better engage customers on an individual level.

Think Mobile As A Marketing Tool, Think Lumata Kumar Gaurav
With digital convergence there is more number of people accessing content via mobile than other medium (Newspaper, Radio, TV, Web Based Internet etc.)
Now the question is not whether “Mobile can be used as a marketing tool or not?”
People are already texting, sharing & communicating on Mobile.
The question is “Are you ready to leap on the growing Mobile Bandwagon?”
This document discusses how mobile marketing has evolved as an important tool for brands to interact with consumers. It notes that more people now access content via mobile than traditional mediums like newspapers, radio, TV or the web. The document provides tips on how to craft effective mobile advertising campaigns, including starting with clear goals, understanding mobile users, considering the full user experience, and being creative. It also outlines some key ways mobile can be used in marketing campaigns, such as contests, coupons, apps, and calls to action.

Are Women Leaders Often Set Upto Fail H Arvard Business ReviewKumar Gaurav
The document discusses the concept of the "glass cliff" phenomenon where women and minority groups are more likely to be promoted to leadership positions when an organization is struggling or facing greater risk of failure. It provides examples of women leaders who were appointed during difficult times and later demoted when the organizations continued to struggle. The document also reviews studies that show appointments of women leaders were made when companies were already performing poorly, contradicting claims that their appointments alone caused declining performance. It concludes that biases may contribute to women facing more precarious leadership roles but that eliminating biases could help more women become successful leaders rather than just managers.
The document provides three corporate lessons through short stories with morals. The lessons are:
1) To be idle you need a high position away from danger, like the crow sitting in a tree away from the fox.
2) Temporary shortcuts like eating dung may get you ahead but won't sustain you, as the turkey who ate dung to reach the top of the tree was then shot down.
3) Be wary of those who help or harm you, as the bird was saved but then eaten by the cat who dug it out of cow dung where it was warming.

This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
