Will a quantum computer reveal our secrets?'

In the presentation, I will give an intuitive explanation of what makes a quantum computer different from a classical computer and what threats it introduces for state-of-the-art cryptography. Which algorithms are broken and which are not? Then I give insight in what our predictions are for when there will be a large quantum computer, and describe the most relevant quantum attack scenario's. Finally I will give the quantumresistant solutions we see, including postquantum cryptography.

Student life brings a lot of stress and sometimes everything can seem so overwhelming. Every day’s clutter can obstruct the things that are actually important and modern technology can cause a lot of distractions. If you think you recognize this, Minimalism might be something for you!

The popularity of the Netflix show Tidying Up with Marie Kondo shows that Minimalism is quite the rage. Minimalism can improve your health, reduce stress and, according to some, even make you happier.

This lecture will be given by Anja from Minimalist Dutchie. In 2016, Anja parted with 75% of her stuff and started blogging about it. Today, her Dutch blog about minimalism and simple living has more than 10.000 visitors per month. In her 30 minute talk on June 13th she’ll discuss what it means to live life with the “less is more” motto – and why giving yourself the permission to get rid of things and re-defining your space will be life-changing.

The language of the training is English and free lunch will be provided if you subscribe. So if you are interested in this topic, or even a bit skeptical about the bold claims, come listen to this lecture!

The uncontrolled power of the big five, attention craving smartphones, addictive games, and not so social ‘social media’: Tech has been under fire lately and with good reason. The impact of tech on our day to day lives and our future life goals is immense. In a society in which everyone wants to be happy 24/7 and wants to live life so fully that their pursuit of happiness can become a burden itself, the tech sector has a unique challenge: How to enable and foster digital happiness in a sustainable way?

Visual Exploration of large software structures
Tim Bertholet will tell you about the application of Visual Data Exploration techniques while you are enjoying your pizza. Tim: “High tech systems are often supported by large software stacks, where a legacy of hundreds of man-years is not an exception. Evolving insights about architecture and techniques cannot be deployed in the complete stack continuously and immediately, which gradually results in inconsistencies between different parts of the stack. Visually exploring the structure and properties of the software (and other data like documentation and contributors) help making quick assessments and communicating about possible improvements. Sioux uses this and other techniques to keep the software in high tech systems maintainable and comprehendible across disciplines.”

About the speaker
Tim Bertholet is a software architect at Sioux. He has multiple years of experience in multidisciplinary teams contributing to and integrating with large software stacks, including lifecycle management. Sioux is an innovative technology partner that supports leading high tech companies in the development and manufacturing of their products.

Intelligent Microscope

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies evolve rapidly and successfully solve tasks such as object detection and natural language processing. AI gives software users the ability of a novel, natural interaction with applications. For example, users can talk to a software system to explain their needs and get direct response, rather than use a mouse or a keyboard to ex-tract and analyze information. Companies that develop modern software systems conduct research on how AI can be used and integrated into their software stack. This work describes how a prototype of an intelligent microscope (IM) was created. The IM is a software artifact. It is an AI-web system that can un-derstand predefined user voice-commands, control an electron microscope, detect objects on microscope images, and high-light specific objects requested by a user. The main motivation for the project was to explore and show possible ways of User-IM interaction. The IM use cases and software design are described in this report. The IM is capable of detecting and highlighting specific types of objects, such as cells and mitochondria. Also, it is able to interpret information about detected objects and show which of the objects are big, small, or relatively close to each other. These use cases provide examples of how the IM can be used. Even though these use cases are unique they do not limit the IM to mitochondrion and cell detection only, because one of the main implemented IM requirements is extendibility with other use cases in the future. The results of the project show how microscope control can be simplified using conversational interface, how image analysis can be improved using object segmentation, and how information about microscope image context can be interpreted using intelligent microscope knowledge database.

Simulation of Software builds

There are many kinds of software builds. Some can be executed in a matter of seconds, and some will take several hours. When you have no idea how long it will take in advance or how you can optimize your environment, it is like a stroll in the dark. You walk around carefully and hope you do not accidently bump your head, because if you do, you might spend a long time recovering from your mistake.

As Data Scientists at Itility, it is our job to shed some light on such complex systems in order to navigate through these dark mazes. We will give you a quick tour of what we do at Itility and how we help our customer to gain insights into their software build environment.

We will illustrate two different mathematical models that generated proofed business value

• The queuing prediction model, which optimizes the execution time of builds
• The environmental simulation model, which exposes bottlenecks and helps with scalability

25 percent of today’s youth spends more than 3 hours of their day on their smart phone, so it is quite likely that you know someone that might be addicted, or you may recognize some of the symptoms yourself. That is why TRAIN is organizing a lecture about smart phone addiction to raise awareness of this issue and also to give some tips that could help.

The lecture will be given by Mariek Vanden Abeele, a professor from Tilburg, specializing in mobile phone usage in everyday life. She has studied phubbing, the ignoring of other people by being busy on your phone before and she has used data analyses to study smart phone usage within all layers of society. Free sandwiches will be provided by TRAIN at the start of the lecture. Subscribe now and we hope to see you there!

Introducing a hybrid architecture in a large Java monolith

About the lecture:

A case study at TOPdesk: how we went from 2 releases per year to one release per day for our Monolith and multiple releases per day for our Micro services. We will touch on the cultural and technical challenges of introducing our hybrid architecture which enables our Monolith and Micro services to live side-by-side.

How do you stay relevant as a software company? You must be able to react quickly to the market you are serving. Our big monolith caused us to lose a lot of agility, so we had to change our way of working. In this talk we want to share with you how we convinced the following stakeholders:

• Developers must adopt a new way of working.
• The Build team has to invest effort in a new infrastructure.
• Quality Assurance has to be convinced that a little less QA does not hurt.
• The Operations team will become responsible for a lot more updates, instead of just the two per year.
• Our communications department handles translations and release notes and must also Continuously Deliver.
• Product Management needs to be convinced to make room in their planning to spend time on a new architecture.
• Most importantly: our customers must not be scared away by our changes.

About the speaker:

Joep is a Build Master at TOPdesk with a keen interest in delivering quality software continuously. He loves playing around with Jenkins Pipelines, Selenium, Docker and keeps in touch with his inner developer by educating his colleagues on testable Java code. He spoke several times at Devoxx, Javaland, DevOps Days and GOTO; Conference. He was in charge of the tooling side of the migration to the Hybrid architecture.

Roel tries to combine being a Continuous Deployment Advocate, Java Trainer and Security Specialist at the same time. He sometimes succeeds. Roel has presented several times at Devoxx and Javaland, presenting his Open Source project Lombok. His focus was on convincing people that a hybrid architecture is the way forward towards Continuous Deployment.

After the lecture you are all welcome to have a drink with TOPdesk at GEWIS!

Note: After subscription, showing up is mandatory. Unsubscribing is possible until Tuesday the 26th of March, 23.00h

About me:
My name is Levi Prikken, a second year master student Industrial and Applied Mathematics and active member of GEWIS, and I have recently completed my three-month internship at ING. I want to share with you my story as a student. I will show you what my project entailed as well as tell you how it felt to make the switch from academia to business.
About the lunch lecture:
More and more data is available nowadays, so it becomes easier to use this data to build sizable graphs. Due to the capacity to increase the volume, large-scale network analysis is becoming an appealing field of research. One of the questions asked is, how can one now extract useful information out of such a gigantic network?
At ING Wholesale Banking all company transactions are represented in an immense network of more than 400 million edges. I have had the opportunity to analyse this great network, using a new Spark package called GraphFrames. My own research focused on what type of companies would have a significant influence on the network and why. To address this question, we first must know how to define influence in this context; and how it translates to influence in a real-life situation.
During the lunch lecture we will tackle all these questions and I will explain to you how I have struggled through the exploration of the network, and its influencers, as a student. While doing so, I will also give you a better idea of how it felt like to start working at ING, when you have only experienced the university life so far.

Our interconnectedness is as high as it has ever been. The internet, our cell phones, games, Skype –they have all contributed to the way we communicate today. Even though it is very fast, we still interact through some form of rectangular window. What if we wouldn’t be limited to those windows anymore? What if we could see and talk to our distant friends just by putting on special glasses?

That’s what SocialXR (social extended reality) is about. Using virtual and augmented reality, we aim to bring people together in a photorealistic environment. Your friends are not represented as avatars, as with Facebook Spaces or AltspaceVR, but as real-time recordings of themselves. You just need consumer-grade hardware and you can visit your distant friends, in VR, whenever you want!

I am Karim El Assal and I’ve worked at TNO since I received my master’s degree in Computer Science about a year ago. My focus is primarily on building proof of concepts, whether it is a gaze-based VR video player or an Android app that visualizes in AR what obstacles a car ‘sees’ in his surroundings. Relating to SocialXR, we – the Networks department of TNO – research what is necessary to support the real-time streaming of volumetric user captures. Do we simply need more bandwidth? Better compression? Or is it sufficient to minimize the amount of data sent over the network? What do you think?
