The document discusses the complexity of modern vehicle systems and how they can be simplified and understood. It begins by using examples from science like atoms, DNA, and neurons to show how complicated things can be broken down into basic components. It then discusses how modern vehicles, like trucks, contain numerous computers and networks to control various functions but that the systems have increased in complexity gradually over time. The document argues that while OEMs have added more advanced technologies, they have not prioritized integrated dashboard designs or support for drivers' needs, and suggests their understanding of "trucking" could still improve.
Ad Age: CENTURY 21 Puts Walter White's Home on CraiglistMatt Gentile
"In today's media environment there's only so many Super Bowls, only so many opportunities to capture the attention and imagination of a mass audience, and Breaking Bad's season finale was one of those moments," said Matt Gentile, director of social media for Century 21. "Walter's house is like its own character on the show ... as the show is coming to an end we felt like the home is going to receive a lot of attention. This show in particular represents really exceptional quality and between those two factors it was a good opportunity to move forward."

This story is about the fundamentals of web2.0 theory and the added value of APIs (application programming interfaces) for modern businesses, developers and software consumers
The first 80 slides (about the fundamentals of web2.0) are available as a separate slidedeck via http://www.slideshare.net/OlafJanssenNL/part-1-of-the-lecture-so-you-think-you-understand-everyday-life-web20-api-theory-still-very-relevant-in-2013
The second part of the story - i.e. this particular slidedeck - deals with API-fundamentals and shows how APIs are the cornerstones of modern business development (BizDev2.0). By looking at casestudies from Google Maps, Twitter, Amazon, eBay, Moo, Flickr, Netflix and other web2.0-companies, it becomes clear how APIs add value for all parties on the modern web.

Cops are constantly adapting their equipment to the environment. Our kit bags have grown larger and larger as we collected equipment to deal with the job. Our departments gives us the basics and as we face new situations we think about what we could have used as a tool to have made the task easier. Then, we go out and get that tool – for next time. Much of the commercially produced police equipment used by our peers today was developed “on the fly” by those who walked the beat before us. The concept of the cruiser as a mobile office was developed by those of us who worked long shifts and thought “What could be added to this car to make my job easier? Make me more comfortable? Help me to hunt down dangerous offenders?”

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.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB

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).

TARDIS
My favorite Science Fiction program, Doctor Who is now 50 years old
Slide 4
Doctor Who deals with multiple universes and multiple dimensions.
Let’s focus on just our universe
Isn’t it beautiful? So vast. In some ways, calming, overwhelming, incomprehensible.
But, we can break it down to smaller parts. In fact, some pretty small parts.
Atoms, just a few, arranged in particular order, are the basis of this vast universe.
Slide 5
Sunday was Mother’s Day. Anyone invest in a diamond for the mother of their children?
Carbon, the same thing that life is made of, makes a diamond, one of the hardest and most
valuable stones in our universe. Atoms are arranged on the outside as a cube, with more
atoms placed strategically inside the cube, including on the face of each surface.
Slide 6
Silicon is another material immensely important to our universe, making up all the electronics
we use. It has a very similar structure to the diamond.
Slide 7
Copper is a bit simpler yet, but no less important. People gut new homes under construction
to steal the copper and fence it for money. Our electronics would not be of much use without
the copper to carry the information signals from silicon chip to silicon chip.
Slide 8
1 of 7
2. Simplify the internal of the cube to a single, body centric atom and you get something like iron.
Where would our trucks be without the iron in the frame rails, engine, transmission and
brakes?
(Aluminum is lighter, but more complicated, with a face centered cubic structure like copper)
Slide 9
The simplest structure is that of iron sulfide or pyrite. A simple cube. Sometimes called fool’s
gold. Yet, that fool’s gold is used as the cathode material for Energizer brand non-
rechargeable lithium batteries.
Slide 10
The point of this chemistry lesson is that anything can be simplified. And, in the process we
can learn much about what we are studying and trying to optimize.
[I might point out that the Tech-I-M logo is based on helping you connect these dots, whether
you are looking inside the box at your own business, or looking outside the box at your
customer.]
Now, let’s move from the universe to transportation.
Slide 11
We start again with a beautiful picture of a large portion of the transportation system.
Isn’t it beautiful? Just enjoy the serenity of the night picture.
Slide 12
Now, we break into daylight and start thinking about moving that freight.
We focus on a smaller part of the transportation system
Slide 13
We go crazy, go fast to move that freight through the traffic congestion in just a few miles of the
streets.
Slide 14
But, we better focus on just a single vehicle or a single pedestrian and avoid an accident that
could cause injury or death, untold grief and expenses, and, generally muck up the traffic.
Slide 15
It would be a lot easier if we could clearly read the signals along the way
Slide 16
2 of 7
3. Governments around the world, companies and universities, are trying to stitch together a plan
for moving freight and people efficiently by using information at every small step.
Multiple Names -- Intelligent Transportation System, Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI),
Autonomous Vehicles, Vehicle to Infrastructure, Vehicle to Vehicle, Vehicle to X. The worst to
many people is the V2G--Vehicle to Government. But, that is here already with fuel taxes,
hours of service, permitting, weigh stations and more.
Slide 17
Let’s simplify that diagram down to a single load of material being loaded onto a truck at the
shipper, moved to its final destination, and all the paperwork associated with that single move.
Walk through the slide and some of the items.
DriveWyze for weigh stations. ZCon for fueling. 2020 portable for documents and navigation
and messaging and EVIR. Accident reporting with camera images.
Slide 18
Think for a moment about how this truck might relate to your everyday experience with
information?
Expound upon how the truck is an information source, a web page, produces twitters and is
linked to groups. It has both public information and private information.
Now, I want to move toward talking just about a truck and its “guts”
To do that, I need to talk about a term called “architecture”
Slide 19
Most of us, myself included, think of a beautiful, large building such as this when someone
says architecture.
Slide 20
An important part of architecture can be to plan for future expansion of the building. Somehow,
I’m not sure this building meets that expectation.
Slide 21
An architecture can be very appealing, having a nice, sexy shape, but be lacking in some other
aspect.
Slide 22
The Eiffel Tower is a great example of an enduring, beautiful piece of architecture. Underneath
its shape is a lot of technical detail.
Back to our earlier discussion, all that gory technical detail is a way of breaking down the tower
to its most basic elements of mechanical structures--even to the atomic crystalline structures
that help define the ability of the iron and steel to carry the loads.
3 of 7
4. Slide 23
Let me digress momentarily to reinforce the idea of simplifying something to its basic parts.
There are over 6 billion people in this world, each one unique in some way, but with many
similarities. This is a beautiful picture of DNA, the double stranded helix of just 4 nucleotides --
guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine.
All the variation of humanity can be described with just these four nucleotides.
(as an aside, work is being done to use these strands of DNA as unbelievably large memory
storage)
Slide 24
But, doesn’t it sound better to say that girls are made of “sugar and spice” than to say they are
made up of a unique combination of 4 nucleotides?
Slide 25
Another area of science looking to understand humans is now the Connectome Project. It’s
goal is similar to the Genome project, but focused on understanding the basic elements of our
brains and how they process information.
Now, let’s return to vehicles with rubber tires and look at their networks and their basic
elements.
Slide 26
65 years ago, the electrical system of a car was much simpler than it is today. 55 wires, 138
feet long with 75 connections.
Slide 27
Today, the chassis is jam packed with things. There’s hardly room for anything.
And yet. this picture is lacking something very important -- other than the cab.
Slide 28
It’s missing the wires and tubes that carry signals from sensors to computers to actuators. It’s
missing the guts that make the beautiful more than an object of art that stands still.
Slide 29
This is the beauty that we all admire in a vehicle.
Slide 30
A few of us, too few of us if we believe the need for more math and science and service
technicians, look underneath the skin of the vehicle to see what makes it tick.
Slide 31
4 of 7
5. And, even fewer understand all the wires and electronics inside.
How are we to break this down to its simplest structures, to make it more understandable to
more people?
Slide 32
Just as there are basic decisions that must be made in constructing a building, there are basic
decisions that must be made in building a vehicle.
Here are the basic 8 for the electric/electronic architecture.
Slide 33
There are on-board communications networks that have been around longer than the internet.
Chances are you don’t know anything about these, and you don’t really need to. You also
don’t need to know how ESPN can stream video of sports to your iPhone. But, you do need to
enVISION how that capability affects what you are trying to do with moving freight from a
shipper to a customer safely and efficiently.
Slide 34
That Audi car probably has 70 computers on it. European trucks can have more than 30
computers on them. Our North American trucks more typically have 10-20 computers on them.
They are controlling so many things.
Slide 35
How did we get here? Like life, one day at a time, one step at a time.
Initially it was the engine alone, then it was paired with the transmission as an option. Then
the brakes came in as an option first, but then by law in the late 90’s.
Slide 36
Optional equipment such as telematics and safety systems came in early this century.
Slide 37
Then a vehicle level computer was added by OEM’s. For some, it was earlier than 2005.
Mack Truck was probably the earliest, starting a decade earlier with a vehicle computer.
Slide 38
More computers were added to the vehicles as new vehicle designs came out.
Slide 39
With the 2010 emissions requirements, more computers and sensors were added.
5 of 7
6. Slide 40
In the future, we might see additional computers--sort of like internet servers--added to the
vehicle to help route and store information.
Slide 41
A similar progression of complexity and capability can be seen at Mercedes-Benz Truck.
Slide 42
Now it gets bad. Not only do we have arcane acronyms, we have them in German!
The key point of this slide is this PSM module which serves as a firewall/bridge between the
information on the vehicle and the outside world.
Slide 43
The first implementation of the Mercedes-Benz Common EE Architecture was in the Cascadia
in 2007. We are looking at something with 5 or more on-board communications networks and
10-20 or more computers.
Slide 44
The New Actros started production in 2011. It has 12 or more communications networks and
upwards of 30 comptuers.
Slide 45
And that list of communications networks is only for the high speed ones. It does not include
the multiple low speed networks called Local Interconnect Network.
Slide 46
Volvo is not immune either. This slide shows a little bit about their networks and computers.
Slide 47
Volvo just started production of a new FH model in Europe this year. I have not yet found a
picture of it.
Slide 48
In spite of all the work the truck OEM’s have done, they really have not done much to create a
dash that is as integrated looking as this one. Dashes are still a grouping of dissimilar gauges
and driver interface devices. And they really have not planned well for portable devices. In my
mind, they still don’t understand “trucking.” What you need to move freight reliably, safely,
efficiently. They know something about the vehicle; but, even there, they are missing some
key architectural and customer oriented items.
