Security Tips for Enterprise Azure Solutions
Security Tips for Enterprise Azure SolutionsMichele Leroux Bustamante Delivering solutions to Azure may involve a variety of architecture patterns involving your applications, APIs data and associated Azure resources that comprise the solution. This session will use reference architectures to illustrate the security considerations to protect your Azure resources and data, how to achieve Zero Trust, and why it matters. Topics covered will include specific security recommendations for types Azure resources and related network security practices. The goal is to give you a breadth of understanding as to typical security requirements to meet compliance and security controls in an enterprise solution.
9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FME
9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FMESafe Software This session will cover a common use case for local and state/provincial governments who create and/or maintain their 9-1-1 addressing data, particularly address points and road centerlines. In this session, you'll learn how FME has helped Shelby County 9-1-1 (TN) automate the 9-1-1 addressing process; including automatically assigning attributes from disparate sources, on-the-fly QAQC of said data, and reporting. The FME logic that this presentation will cover includes: Table joins using attributes and geometry, Looping in custom transformers, Working with lists and Change detection.

Petronel Bigioi, CEO of FotoNation, presents the “MPU+: A Transformative Solution for Next-Gen AI at the Edge” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Bigioi introduces MPU+, a novel programmable, customizable low-power platform for real-time, localized intelligence at the edge. The platform includes an AI-augmented image signal processor that enables leading image and video quality.
In addition, it integrates ultra-low-power object and motion detection capabilities to enable always-on computer vision. A programmable neural processor provides flexibility to efficiently implement new neural networks. And additional specialized engines facilitate image stabilization and audio enhancements.

WebdriverIO & JavaScript: The Perfect Duo for Web Automation
WebdriverIO & JavaScript: The Perfect Duo for Web Automationdigitaljignect In today’s dynamic digital landscape, ensuring the quality and dependability of web applications is essential. While Selenium has been a longstanding solution for automating browser tasks, the integration of WebdriverIO (WDIO) with Selenium and JavaScript marks a significant advancement in automation testing. WDIO enhances the testing process by offering a robust interface that improves test creation, execution, and management. This amalgamation capitalizes on the strengths of both tools, leveraging Selenium’s broad browser support and WDIO’s modern, efficient approach to test automation. As automation testing becomes increasingly vital for faster development cycles and superior software releases, WDIO emerges as a versatile framework, particularly potent when paired with JavaScript, making it a preferred choice for contemporary testing teams.

"Scaling in space and time with Temporal", Andriy Lupa.pdf
"Scaling in space and time with Temporal", Andriy Lupa.pdfFwdays Design patterns like Event Sourcing and Event Streaming have long become standards for building real-time analytics systems. However, when the system load becomes nonlinear with fast and often unpredictable spikes, it's crucial to respond quickly in order not to lose real-time operating itself.
In this talk, I’ll share my experience implementing and using a tool like Temporal.io. We'll explore the evolution of our system for maintaining real-time report generation and discuss how we use Temporal both for short-lived pipelines and long-running background tasks.

AI Agents and FME: A How-to Guide on Generating Synthetic Metadata
AI Agents and FME: A How-to Guide on Generating Synthetic MetadataSafe Software In the world of AI agents, semantics is king. Good metadata is thus essential in an organization's AI readiness checklist. But how do we keep up with the massive influx of new data? In this talk we go over the tips and tricks in generating synthetic metadata for the consumption of human users and AI agents alike.

Using the SQLExecutor for Data Quality Management: aka One man's love for the...Safe Software The SQLExecutor is one of FME’s most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation –Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table. Practical De-duplication - Removing identical or near-identical well point locations from two distinct source datasets in the same table.
