This document summarizes a drone efficacy study (DES) that evaluated the impact of drones for locating lost persons in search and rescue events. The study involved 50 randomized trials across 3 sites in Ireland and Wales comparing drone-enabled search and rescue to traditional non-drone search and rescue. On average, drone-enabled search and rescue located persons 191 seconds faster than traditional methods. While drones showed promise, the study found properly utilizing drones for search and rescue is difficult and recommended more research is needed to develop standardized drone-enabled search and rescue processes and strategies.

EENA 2021 - Advanced Mobile Location (3/3)

EENA (European Emergency Number Association)

Emergency calls from mobile phones can be difficult to locate, sometimes taking 30 seconds longer to answer or up to 3 minutes of additional questioning to determine a caller's location. Advanced Mobile Location (AML) aims to improve emergency response times by using a caller's smartphone GPS and WiFi capabilities to automatically send a zero-rated SMS with their location to emergency services within 20 seconds of an emergency call being placed. This supplements existing mobile network location data and has been shown to provide locations accurate to within 50 meters for 85% of calls, arriving within 30 seconds for 90% of calls. AML is deployed without any need for users to install an app, functioning invisibly during emergency calls from supported smartphones on participating mobile networks.

Cut End-to-End eDiscovery Time in Half: Leveraging the Cloud

Druva

Today legal hold data requests expand far beyond traditional email server requirements. Last year alone, 62% of requests included data from mobile devices and 37% from cloud application services. As the data volumes increase, Legal and IT teams can no longer continue to rely on legacy eDiscovery processes that are both inefficient and costly. Our experts discussed how the latest generation of eDiscovery solutions, using native-cloud technologies, are dramatically reducing both data collection and ingestion times, while significantly increasing the speed and efficiencies of the analysis and review process. Hear how legal and IT teams can: * Extend data collection to endpoints and cloud apps to centrally collect, preserve and classify information * Increase transparency for senior lawyers and corporate counsel through automated real-time metrics * Achieve cloud-to-cloud data transfer to reduce the risk of data spoliation while removing the need for physical collection and shipping By moving your eDiscovery process to the cloud, IT can quickly respond to their legal department’s inquiries, and legal teams gain faster data ingestion times along with high speed processing, analysis, and review.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Getting the Most Out of ScyllaDB Monitoring: ShareChat's Tips

ScyllaDB

ScyllaDB monitoring provides a lot of useful information. But sometimes it’s not easy to find the root of the problem if something is wrong or even estimate the remaining capacity by the load on the cluster. This talk shares our team's practical tips on: 1) How to find the root of the problem by metrics if ScyllaDB is slow 2) How to interpret the load and plan capacity for the future 3) Compaction strategies and how to choose the right one 4) Important metrics which aren’t available in the default monitoring setup.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS Market

ScyllaDB

The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications. To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases. This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
