Agile software development introduced the backlog as a beautiful, powerful, and delightfully simple tool for managing variability and uncertainty in modern organizations. Unfortunately, the backlog can also be a major impediment to flow and break the value stream with substantial economic loss. This happens because our traditional model of backlog management presents the backlog as a stack of plates reservoir for the development team. Agile grew up, and now so does our model of the backlog. Based on the recently launched book “The Rock Crusher” (available from Amazon or the IIBA) this session introduces a flow-based model for backlog management. We explore how some organisations are managing their backlogs well, yet others struggle, show how turbulence is necessary for innovation, introduce the waste gate as a way to help focus on doing the right work and show how using a rock crusher helps maximise the value generated for our customers and stakeholders.

While a Solution could be a “project”, the
Rock Crusher encourages a “product”
focus.
In project-oriented management, there is no incentive to
reduce technical debt; its effects do not materialize until
after the project ends. This results in application portfolios
that are dead ends for the companies that created them
and the constant accumulation of more legacy systems

The growing complexity and interdisciplinarity of research and applied science questions requires the developments of standards to exchange data within continuously growing communities as well as across domains. In most domains, geo-spatial data is the fundamental base layer for data science and analysis, as the vast majority have some spatial characteristics or apply to elements in space. Using the available standards, a good level of interoperability can already be realized. Nevertheless, the increasing complexity of research questions, the growing number of available data, and the increasing range of data providers, ranging from citizen scientists to fully automated sensor networks making their data directly available at the Internet, require even richer models that need to be developed to enhance the level of interoperability.

Velocity is perhaps the most useful metric available to agile teams. In this session we will look at advanced uses of velocity for planning under special but common circumstances. We will see how to forecast velocity in the complete absence of any historical data. We will look at how a new team can forecast velocity by looking at other teams. We will see how to predict the velocity of a team that will grow or shrink in size. Most importantly we will look at the use of confidence intervals to create plans we can be 90% confident in, even on fixed-price or fixed-date contracts.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY PHYSICS DEPARTMENT Physics 253 – Basic Mechanics Fall 2016 Lab #11 Lab Writeup Due: Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu, Nov. 28/29/30, Dec. 1, 2016 Read Giancoli: Chapter 10 (Lecture Notes #13) Rolling Apparatus In this experiment a sphere, disk, and cylinder are rolled down an inclined plane with a raised guide to keep it on the track. Two photogates are positioned over the track to measure the velocity of each object at the position of each photogate. Each photogate only records the elapsed time between the when the object enters and leaves the photogate. The experimenter must determine the width d of the object as seen by the photogate detector to determine the velocity through each photogate. Theory Velocity is the time rate of change of position of an object. If the width, d , of an object and the time, t , it takes to pass a point are both known, the average velocity is ave d v t   (1) Angular velocity is the time rate of change of the angle of a rotating object, measured in radians per second (rad/sec). For an object that rolls without slipping the angular velocity is related to its linear velocity as v d R R t     (2) The resistance of an object to a force (the inertia of an object) is caused by the object’s mass. The resistance of an object to a torque (a force that causes a rotation) is caused by the object’s moment of inertia (which is related to the object’s mass and how far the mass is from the axis of rotation: 𝐼~𝑚𝑅2). This is why when a figure skater on ice brings in her arms she rotates faster—her moment of inertial is smaller because more of her mass is closer to her body (her effective radius decreases). Decreasing the moment of inertia makes it easier for her to rotate (her rotational inertial decreases). Objects in motion possess kinetic energy K . If the object is rolling it has kinetic energy due to the forward motion of its center of mass, CM K , and its rotation, rotK . Translational kinetic energy is based on the mass and velocity, 21 2CM CM K mv . Rotational kinetic energy about the center of mass is based on the moment of inertia and angular velocity, 21 2 CMrot K I  . 2 21 1 2 2 CM CMK mv I   (3) Using Eq. (2) we can convert velocity to angular velocity:  2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 CM CMK mR I I mR I        (4) Notice that we have derived the parallel-axis theorem: 𝐼 = 𝐼𝐶𝑀 + 𝑀ℎ 2 where, in the situation for this lab, the object rolls about an axis at the point where it touches the ramp, thus ℎ = 𝑅. As a disk rolls down a slope the gravitational potential energy, gU mgh , is converted into kinetic energy and thermal energy thermalE caused by sliding rather than rolling. If the initial and final angular velocities are i and f , then the relationship for the conservation of e

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.

Microsoft's Threat Matrix for Kubernetes helps organizations understand the attack surface a Kubernetes deployment introduces to their environments. This ensures that adequate detections and mitigations are in place. By covering over 40 different attacker techniques, defenders can learn about Kubernetes-specific mitigations and controls to deploy to their environments. In this session, we will explore the MS-TA9013 Host Path Mount technique, which is commonly used by attackers to perform privilege escalation in a Kubernetes cluster. Attendees will learn how attackers and defenders can: * Escape the container's host volume mount to gain persistence on an underlying node * Move laterally from the underlying node into the customer's cloud environment * Analyze Kubernetes audit logs to detect pods deployed with a hostPath mount * Deploy an admission controller that prevents new pods from using a hostPath mount

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
