Lightning Talk Plenaries - First Strike
- Nicole Harris (GÉANT)
- Anna Wilson (HEAnet)
Description
Lightning Talks are 5 minute presentations focusing on one key point. This can be an idea, successful project, a cautionary story, collaboration invitation, quick tip or demonstration. This session is an opportunity for ideas to get the attention they deserve.
The rules for this session are easy: five minutes and only five minutes.
Tool development efforts at Sikt (Uninett) over the years have resulted in a very promising monitoring system named Microdep. The last few years Microdep has revealed a significant number of routing related outages which have cause notable down-times for academic internet users, both in Norway, NorduNet and Geant.
The TNC22 lightning talk will motivate and present the system briefy, including...
Nowadays, the number of scientific applications which require the use of GPUs is on the rise, so we configured the GARR Cloud using the GPU virtualization, which allows multiple virtual machines to use the same physical GPU at the same time and allows allocating almost transparently the resources as needed in the Kubernetes clusters deployed on top of Openstack.
This presentation aims to share the results of some eduroam expansion strategies in Brazil, implemented by RNP. In addition to promoting the service in the Brazilian NREN institutions, the strategies include the creation of partnerships with ministries and with private companies that already have public access Wi-Fi networks, in addition to specific actions related to the development of software.
This lighting talk describes challenges for Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructures we discovered in the area of integrated Research Infrastructures, and it presents our current approach for addressing them.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have the potential to disrupt access to critical infrastructure for population groups across the world – yet their mitigation capabilities lie largely in the hands of private tech companies based in the US. This lightning talk explores the opportunities and benefits of an open, federated DDoS protection architecture in Europe.
News datasets are extremely imbalanced, with the fake news not being as well represented as the real news. Thus, machine learning models for fake news detection do not perform as good as expected. Hence, Generative Adversarial Networks can be used to produce high-quality synthetic samples to better represent the fake news data, improving the models’ performances.
A presentation that focuses on finding solutions that use AI to catalogue and categorize archival collections. Firstly, the difficulties that archivists have in the transition to digital followed by the various problems when one tries to implement AI. Finally, the necessary steps to carry out a project in partnership with a heritage space and a potential workflow.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting increase in interactions via digital tools has deeply changed network traffic. To manage these changes, network operators need advanced tools for classification and the prediction of internet traffic. To face these tasks, the idea is to design advanced deep-learning based techniques with a special focus on traffic generated by social communication and...
This lightning talk aims to stimulate the discussion on creating, disseminating and sharing actionable cyber threat intelligence for the research and education community. Work done in this area together with current initiatives by GÉANT will be briefly introduced followed by a call to participate in TNC Security Day and collaborate on projects in this space.
DR/BCP testing is vital and the better the test, the better the outcome!
This LT will explain why engagement with the "players" is so important, how to get into the right mindset for an exercise, and ways to get the most out of the event.
We've created a simple, yet popular service that is very usable, low on resources and provides our users with a viable alternative to big tech offerings: edu.nl. The talk describes what we did, why it was a success and calls for NRENs to make more simple but valuable services. See attachment.
Intended as a cautionary tale, this talk aims to highlight the growing divide between emerging NRENs and their more established counterparts. In particular, it will focus on two aspects: evolving baselines making the knowledge requirements (and thus barriers to entry) for newcomers significantly greater than they used to be, and the differing technology entry-levels that exist in different...
I present a case of a research institution that got its social profiles “irrevocably” deleted for half a year, as a result of poor algorithm judgement. Resolving the conflict requires human communication.
I propose establishing a communication channel that would enable the NREN community to help our user institutions within a limited number of “emergency” cases related to selected platform(s).
The world is changing. Researchers are creating ever-increasing volumes of data and have complex needs for storing, processing and sharing this. Universities are providing a range of research data services as a result, utilizing both open-source technologies and commercial services. Many NREN are widening their service portfolios to offer such above-net services and opportunities exist for...
Digital Access is transforming the lives of women across Asia. Despite the success stories, there is a lot more that needs to be done and can be achieved if the wider TEIN/Asi@Connect community, including developed countries, join forces to amplify the stories of women heard so far, driven by the ultimate goal of ‘Let every Devi*” achieve her potential through PRADA.
- Devi is the name...
