Video traffic on the Internet is constantly growing; networked multimedia applications consume a predominant share of the available Internet bandwidth. A major technical breakthrough and enabler in multimedia systems research and of industrial networked multimedia services certainly was the HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technique. This resulted in the standardization of MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) which, together with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), is widely used for multimedia delivery in today’s networks. Existing challenges in multimedia systems research deal with the trade-off between (i) the ever-increasing content complexity, (ii) various requirements with respect to time (most importantly, latency), and (iii) quality of experience (QoE). Optimizing towards one aspect usually negatively impacts at least one of the other two aspects if not both. This situation sets the stage for our research work in the ATHENA Christian Doppler (CD) Laboratory (Adaptive Streaming over HTTP and Emerging Networked Multimedia Services; https://athena.itec.aau.at/), jointly funded by public sources and industry. In this talk, we will present selected novel approaches and research results of the first year of the ATHENA CD Lab’s operation. We will highlight HAS-related research on (i) multimedia content provisioning (machine learning for video encoding); (ii) multimedia content delivery (support of edge processing and virtualized network functions for video networking); (iii) multimedia content consumption and end-to-end aspects (player-triggered segment retransmissions to improve video playout quality); and (iv) novel QoE investigations (adaptive point cloud streaming). We will also put the work into the context of international multimedia systems research.

What Not to Document and Why_ (North Bay Python 2024)Margaret Fero
We’re hopefully all on board with writing documentation for our projects. However, especially with the rise of supply-chain attacks, there are some aspects of our projects that we really shouldn’t document, and should instead remediate as vulnerabilities. If we do document these aspects of a project, it may help someone compromise the project itself or our users. In this talk, you will learn why some aspects of documentation may help attackers more than users, how to recognize those aspects in your own projects, and what to do when you encounter such an issue.
These are slides as presented at North Bay Python 2024, with one minor modification to add the URL of a tweet screenshotted in the presentation.

Interaction Latency: Square's User-Centric Mobile Performance MetricScyllaDB
Mobile performance metrics often take inspiration from the backend world and measure resource usage (CPU usage, memory usage, etc) and workload durations (how long a piece of code takes to run).
However, mobile apps are used by humans and the app performance directly impacts their experience, so we should primarily track user-centric mobile performance metrics. Following the lead of tech giants, the mobile industry at large is now adopting the tracking of app launch time and smoothness (jank during motion).
At Square, our customers spend most of their time in the app long after it's launched, and they don't scroll much, so app launch time and smoothness aren't critical metrics. What should we track instead?
This talk will introduce you to Interaction Latency, a user-centric mobile performance metric inspired from the Web Vital metric Interaction to Next Paint"" (web.dev/inp). We'll go over why apps need to track this, how to properly implement its tracking (it's tricky!), how to aggregate this metric and what thresholds you should target.
Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Breakthrough In self-assembly 3D Printing
A research team led by Dr. Ido Bachelet at the Institute for Nanotechnology and Advanced
Materials at Bar-Ilan University in Israel have developed an algorithm that allowed 18 tetrahedral
bricks to self-assemble into a larger 3D cylinder. The team then found that high frequency
vibrations can be used to aide bricks in self-assembling into a large 3D object, potentially
changing the future of consumer product assemblies. The idea of self-assembly is that many small
and disordered 3D printed parts combine on their own to create something much larger, allowing
a variety of objects to be created from the same elementary building blocks. The next step of
research will be refining how the parts stay in place to be used to assemble reliable and
functional products.

Farmers have been taking aerial readings of crops to monitor and improve crop yield since the
down of aviation. Recently drones have been deployed to take the aerial readings, taking photos
that display near-infrared readings of how plants are absorbing sunlight and their photosynthesis
levels, data that can be used to verify the current health of their crops. The only problem is that
these services are expensive, and therefore out of reach for most non-commercial farms. That is,
until Quesney Nevarez, a Mexican electronics engineering student, began investigating how 3D
printing and off-the=shelf parts can expand crop monitoring to lower income farmers. Nevarez
worked on the project in Ottawa at a program that finds new applications for drone technology.

Creating a Wind Powered USB charger with 3D Printer
Anthony Dorsa, a sophomore mechanical engineering student at Binghamton University, has
developed a 3D printed device that uses wind power to act as a USB charger. Dorsa was inspired
by Makerbot’s Catch The Wind challenge, a competition among 3D designers to create a 3D
printed model that harness the power of wind. After experimenting with a variety of wind turbine
designs, Dora realized that smaller sized turbines typically require very little wind to start spinning,
and that single directional turbines produced optimal power, while minimizing overall design
complexity. He has since released his plans to the public, showcasing the overall potential of 3D
Printers.

8. Apple Announces Update to Enable Basic 3D Printer Support
This past week Apple announced an update to their Common Unix Printing Systems
(CUPS). With the release of CUPS version 2.1, the Apple OS supports basic 3D printers. This is
something that simply was lacking in previous CUPS versions. While the OS will only support
basic 3D printers, with no built-in filters, it bodes well for mainstream adoption of 3D printers
and 3D printing related devices, as more and more technology companies join the 3D
Printing revolution.

Chinese Researchers Make Breakthrough in SLA 3D Printing
Scientist from the Guangzhou Nansha Additive Manufacturing Technology Research Institute
announced a new 3D printing technique that can be used to create detailed porcelain and
other ceramic objects in mere minutes. Xu Xiaoshu, the Institutes director, argues that this new
process represents a immense breakthrough in the field of traditional SLA 3D printing technology,
resolving the three main issues that plague the SLA 3D printing process: high liquidity requirement
of material, scraping pieces post print, and slow printing speed. The new technique will reduce
cost, almost double 3D printing speed, and capable of printing high precisions objects of up to
800 by 400 mm.

11. 3D Prints of the Week
Showcasing some of the most interesting applications of 3D
Printing, from the amusing to the artistic to the innovative
12. 3D Printed Exoskeleton for Stroke Victims
! Daniel Levy, a design engineer, has
created a 3D printed open-source
exoskeleton that helps stroke victims
suffering from lack of finger movement
regain mobility in their hands.
! Levy and a research team of four
members created the device which
uses the motion of the wrist to open
and close the fingers.
! The team was inspired by a friend’s
brother who suffered a spinal injury and
was unable to regain hand function.
13. 3D Printing Design for Platform Jack
! The Seattle-based company intentional3D has
released Platform Jack, one of the most popular
and most downloaded designs online.
! The company released a design which is
printed in one single piece, that features several
movable parts, and requires no support
material, while at the same time acts as a fully
functional product right off the 3D printer print
bed.
! The Platform Jack essentially acts as a
traditional ‘jack’, lowering and lifting a base
with a set of arms by turning a threaded knob.
