Floating Offshore Wind in the Celtic Seapermagoveu
油
Floating offshore wind (FLOW) governance arrangements in the Celtic Sea case are changing and innovating in response to different drivers including domestic political priorities (e.g. net-zero, decarbonization, economic growth) and external shocks that emphasize the need for energy security (e.g. the war in Ukraine).
To date, the rules of the game that guide floating wind in the UK have evolved organically rather than being designed with intent, which has created policy incoherence and fragmented governance arrangements. Despite this fragmentation, the UK has a well-established offshore wind sector and is positioning itself to become a global leader in floating wind.
Marine governance arrangements are in a state of flux as new actors, resources, and rules of the game are being introduced to deliver on this aspiration. However, the absence of a clear roadmap to deliver on ambitious floating wind targets by 2030 creates uncertainty for investors, reduces the likelihood that a new floating wind sector will deliver economic and social value to the UK, and risks further misalignment between climate and nature goals.
Security requirements are often treated as generic lists of features, neglecting system-specific needs and the attacker's perspective. A systematic approach to security requirements engineering is crucial to avoid this problem.
Requirements engineering defects can cost 10 to 200 times more to correct once the system is operational. Software development takes place in a dynamic environment, causing requirements to constantly change.
Agentic architectures and workflows @ AIware Bootcamp 2024Keheliya Gallaba
油
In this talk, I dove deep into the world of agents, starting with some history of the term. We explored the core properties of agents, like autonomy, social ability, reactiveness, and proactiveness, and how these translate into the agentic systems we're seeing today. I broke down the anatomy of a foundation model-based agent, discussing environments, memory types (procedural, semantic, and episodic), and the role of external tools . We also looked at how these agents reason and plan, and even briefly touched on the concept of "theory of mind". Finally, I walked through some examples from research papers, like generative agents and software developer agents. I wrapped up with a look at the open research challenges, including control, human-agent interfaces, and evaluation.

Introduction to Internet of things protocols
1. Zigbee Smart Energy
ZigBee is a Personal Area Network. It is a technology of
home networking.
ZigBee is a technological standard created for controlling and
sensing the network.
Flow or process control equipment can be place anywhere
and still communicate with the rest of the system.
IEEE802.15.4 developed the PHY and MAC layer whereas,
the ZigBee takes care of upper higher layers.
ZigBee is a standard that addresses the need for very low-cost
implementation of Low power devices with Low data rates
for short-range wireless communications.
2. Types of ZigBee Devices: Zigbee Coordinator Device: It
communicates with routers. This
device is used for connecting the
devices.
Zigbee Router: It is
used for passing the
data between devices.
Zigbee End Device: It
is the device that is
going to be controlled
3. A number of standards use ZigBee as a base.
1. ZigBee Home Automation (ZHA): This is a home automation-oriented global
standard for controlling applications like lighting, temperature control, energy
management, security and accident prevention.
2. ZigBee Smart Energy (ZSE): This is a global standard that allows service
providers and Home Area Network (HAN) electricity distribution companies to
manage energy consumption. ZSE also allows suppliers and customers to
interact, so that both can access smart communications.
3. ZigBee Light Link (ZLL): This is a global standard that permits consumer
lighting elements and other elements to interoperate with each other, giving
consumers wireless access to these elements. It allows consumers to control their
home lighting, while managing energy use and making their homes greener.
4. Architecture of ZigBee:
ZigBee architecture is a combination of 6
layers.
Application Layer
Application Interface Layer
Security Layer
Network Layer
Medium Access Control Layer
Physical Layer
6. Physical layer: The lowest two layers i.e the physical and the MAC
(Medium Access Control) Layer are defined by the IEEE 802.15.4
specifications. The Physical layer is closest to the hardware and directly
controls and communicates with the Zigbee radio. The physical layer
translates the data packets in the over-the-air bits for transmission and
vice-versa during the reception.
Medium Access Control layer (MAC layer): The layer is responsible
for the interface between the physical and network layer. The MAC layer
is also responsible for providing PAN ID and also network discovery
through beacon requests.
Network layer: This layer acts as an interface between the MAC layer
and the application layer. It is responsible for mesh networking.
Application layer: The application layer in the Zigbee stack is the highest
protocol layer and it consists of the application support sub-layer and
Zigbee device object. It contains manufacturer-defined applications.
8. IPv4
IPv4 is 32-bit addressing scheme used as TCP/IP host
addressing mechanism.
IPv4 is a connectionless protocol used for packets witched
networks.
It operates on a best effort delivery model, in which
neither delivery is guaranteed, nor proper sequencing or
avoidance of duplicate delivery is assured.
There are many ways to configure IPv4 with all kinds of
devices including manual and automatic configurations
depending on the network type.
IPv4 uses 32-bit (4 byte) addressing, which gives 232
addresses.
10. 1. VERSION: Version of the IP protocol (4 bits), which is 4 for IPv4
2. HLEN: IP header length (4 bits), which is the number of 32 bit words in the header. The
minimum value for this field is 5 and the maximum is 15.
3. Type of service: Low Delay, High Throughput, Reliability (8 bits)
4. Total Length: Length of header + Data (16 bits), which has a minimum value 20 bytes and the
maximum is 65,535 bytes.
5. Identification: Unique Packet Id for identifying the group of fragments of a single IP datagram
(16 bits)
6. Flags: 3 flags of 1 bit each : reserved bit (must be zero), do not fragment flag, more fragments
flag (same order) Fragment Offset: Represents the number of Data Bytes ahead of the particular
fragment in the particular Datagram. Specified in terms of number of 8 bytes, which has the
maximum value of 65,528 bytes.
7. Time to live: Datagrams lifetime (8 bits), It prevents the datagram to loop through the network
by restricting the number of Hops taken by a Packet before delivering to the Destination.
8. Protocol: Name of the protocol to which the data is to be passed (8 bits) Header Checksum: 16
bits header checksum for checking errors in the datagram header
9. Source IP address: 32 bits IP address of the sender
10. Destination IP address: 32 bits IP address of the receiver
