It is well known that transporting dry dusty materials can create explosive atmospheres. Four conditions have to exist in order for the explosive state to occur. First of all, there needs to be high concentration of dust, then there must be oxygen and there should also be an ignition source. If all of these appear in a confined space – an explosion will happen. The most common ignition sources have long been identified as over-heated bearings, misaligned belt, slipping belt and misaligned pulleys.

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).

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.

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.

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Operator performance and accountability is enhanced when given the tools to make critical decisions
impacting the operation
Operator performance and accountability are measured in real time for each vehicle. SkidFleet does
more than just record events and data, it actively reflects operator usage as it happens and displays
notifications to change or improve operator decisions making.
Operational efficiency is the culmination of a wide variety of events and circumstances known or
unknown.Understanding these events when and how they impacting the operation
happen allows for improvement. This provides management and operators with an immediate and
complete account of data that allows for utilization efficiency.
THE OPERATOR IS KEY TO IMPROVEMENT
OPERATOR ENGAGEMENT WITH VISUAL

5. EFFICIENCY STARTS WITH OPERATIONAL
VISIBILITY
Manage the most critical events of your lift truck fleet,
unidentified operational downtime within utilization factor
through real-time visibility.
Without cause and effect visibility provided by information transmitted from vehicles it’s impossible to know
true operational utilization and productivity levels. Most OEMs measure and present fleet optimization in
terms of vehicle run time and maintenance costs which do not expose actual operational downtime causes.
With SkidFleet technology true productivity is measured in how a vehicle is being operated and its impact on
utilization. More importantly this rudimentary understanding of operational downtime occurrences provides a
more complete understanding of why they happen and the ability to correct and develop benchmark
performance.

Measuring What Matters
The majority of material handling operations do not
measure operator performance at all, or measure
the wrong things, or measure too much that is
hard for anyone to quickly determine the true fleet
performance status.
The most powerful management tool is to eliminating
waste by tracking automatically all operational
downtime times.
The industry had learned that approach to
”one size fit all” is not working and a trend to apply
more focused solutions to the area that provides
immediate results.

The simplest most productive lift truck impact monitoring for the material handling industry
Impacts are a common occurrence in most material handling applications.When they are not managed, they
can adversely affect both safety and operating costs as a result of downtime and damage.
Vehicle impact systems have been on the market for several years with limited success. The reason that
most systems fail is that focusing entirely on impacts alone does not solve core problems.

The Base Station communication hub is designed to provide the most secure format to engage your
network with virtually no hands-on work from the end user. Simply relying on either a DHCP or
static IP and a SMTP mail server will get you going fast.
Time ultimately effects all businesses.Most companies simply do not have a reliable way to develop
operating time standards that support efficient production cycles and provide operators with clear
understanding of performance.
The SkidFleet system monitors in real time vehicle activities and displays, records and archives operational
downtime. The SkidFleet system allows for customizable event fields that depict what is causing downtime
and allow for analysis to improve operations.
This allows management to create a realistic and profit enhancing operational benchmark that speaks to the
entire workforce.The lasting impact SkidFleet has on fleet productivity is that when benchmark utilization
factors are deployed it will continually notify operators in real time where they fall with regards.Moving
beyond simply analyzing data by historical data, SkidFleet is continually helping operators maintain
benchmark objectives in real time.
