CWI’s 25th spin-off develops software of the future – Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)

Posted on May 19, 2020 by admin

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has launched a new spin-off: Swat.engineering. The new start-up -the 25th in CWIs history- focuses on domain specific software engineering and serves clients in the field of finance, health and embedded. The first part of the companys name refers to the Software Analysis and Transformation (SWAT) research group at CWI, from which the new enterprise emerged. Davy Landman (CEO): We are close to the action, because of our strong connection with the SWAT research group, which allows us to intertwine new scientific insights into our advice extremely fast.

Software: expensive to develop and hard to change

Swat.engineering helps companies to gain control over software development and maintenance with help of domain modelling and automated software analysis and transformation. Organisations are getting more and more dependent of software. It is difficult to align software with changing business purposes, because of the complexity of business processes and increasing IT costs. This makes the adaptation of software time-consuming and sensitive to errors. This is caused by inefficient knowledge exchange between domain experts and IT developers. Rising maintenance costs are also caused by a high level of complexity of critical software. Developers have to search continuously in order to understand the code and this makes changes more expensive.

More efficient communication between business experts and IT developers

Swat.engineering models domain knowledge with a tailormade domain-specific programming language. This makes communication between business experts and IT departments more efficient. Low-code systems try to reach the same goal, but Swat.engineering's solution is easier to integrate into existing systems and is better adaptable to specific demands. This new language is not only understandable for experts from the business, but also for auditors and software developers.

Landman: For a project in the financial business we have developed a domain specific language to describe financial systems together with domain experts. From this description software has been generated that fits into the existing software architecture. This approach is suitable for every technique (database, network), programming language and environment. We use open source software in order to prevent lock-in.

Swat.engineering specializes in extracting knowledge from existing source code and gives organizations a grip on their software in this way. This can be domain knowledge for modeling or knowledge to (partly) modernize the source code automatically. New company and system-specific tools are being developed for this together with the client. Large overdue maintenance can be drastically accelerated by performing this in steps semi-automatically.

Founding spin-off companies such as Swat.engineering is an important tool for CWI to bring knowledge and technology to the market. Swat.engineering is the 25th spin-off company of CWI since the founding of computer manufacturer Electrologica in 1956. Other recent spin-offs are: Stokhos (2016), MonetDB Solutions (2013), Spinque (2010) and VectorWise (2008, adopted by Actian in 2011).

Swat.engineering

Swat.engineering has been founded by a team of very experience researchers from CWIs SWAT research group: Paul Klint, Davy Landman and Jurgen Vinju. They have made their mark in software research. Klint is one of the founders of domain specific languages worldwide. A more detailed company profile can be found here.

Song To Get You Through The Week: Kevin Kvein Gallops On with Worcester-centric video – Worcester Mag

Posted on May 19, 2020 by admin

Before you even get to the song, the music video for singer-songwriter Kevin Kvein's Gallops to Nowhere acts as a sort of time capsule of Worcester right before the pandemic, each shot catching moments of urban beauty amid near-constant construction. Shooting on the Common and in front of City Hall, outside The Hanover Theatre, amid the construction on Main Street and even making brief stops at the Raven Music Hall and George's Coney Island Hot Dogs, Kvein and director Patrick McGowan catch a glimmer of that moment of transition, as the city seemed poised to transform from one thing to another.

Now, that future seems more uncertain than ever, which makes the video even more timely, as the song itself is very much about uncertainty, about wanting some sort of change but not being certain what's true or not. The horses are galloping to nowhere, sings Kvein at the song's start, And the mayor proposed a bill to gun them down,/We ain't got no time for cowboys and outlaws,/And we ain't got no time for running around.

It's hard to ignore the juxtaposition of Kvein's Wild West imagery with the shots that capture both the city's development and wild, creative undercurrent. But I hear we got time for private corporations, Kvein continues, Digging up sacred Indian burial grounds. It's not really a protest song, in the strictest folk music sense of the phrase, but it conveys a sense of wrongness through both lyric and tone, not so much lamenting what's being built as he is mourning what could be lost.

And indeed, the portrait becomes a little hazier as the song progresses. Kvein sings of polling for a politician, Who some of us believe will make a difference,/As for the rest, they're galloping to nowhere,/Cuz they don't recognize the grass they're standing on. It reads like a shout out to Bernie Sanders, but honestly, it could resonate with anyone's political beliefs and candidates. Political beliefs may differ, but sometimes the manners in which people pursue their beliefs are remarkably similar.

When Kvein sings a lyric such as, And if you speak up,/You'll be called a whistle blower,/Cowboy or outlaw,/No one cares, it conjures images of Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, maybe even Julian Assange their roles as heroes or villains depend largely on where you're standing. And when Kvein sings of an Iraq War vet marching to North Dakota, even though he could've sworn,/The war was over, it's unclear why he's marching. It feels like the Standing Rock environmental protests, but that's not made explicit. The song finds a sort of weariness in constant protest, and in a world that constantly provokes protest. Still, the song's soul can be found in one simple lyric: And who am I to say what the truth is?/Since the dawn of time,/It's been screwed with.

Indeed, but as Kvein's chipper tone and understated guitar roll forward, it becomes abundantly clear that sometimes the world is exactly what it appears to be, and those are the moments you miss the unpredictability of the cowboys, outlaws and wild horses the most.

Johnny Logan, grand daddy of Eurovision, leads an Irish-flavoured show – The Irish Times

Posted on May 19, 2020 by admin

With the coronavirus pandemic persisting longer than even the typical Eurovision power ballad, the inevitable has come to pass.

The song-and-dance jamboree that gave the world Abba, Dana and - wow, the Eighties were bleak werent they? - Bucks Fizz has been postponed until 2021.

To keep us from rioting, the pop deities are instead fobbing us off with Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light, aka the Eurovision Non-Contest (RT One).

This sounds like a slightly desperate stop-gap. But then you remind yourself it will feature Johnny Logan singing Whats Another Year in a suit so white that when stared at directly its as if you are gazing into Gods own linen basket.

Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light is classic lockdown telly. There is no audience and just three presenters, speaking from what would have been the 2020 host city of Rotterdam (the venue where the event was to take place is now, and rather inevitably, a Covid-19 hospital).

They grin goofily and stand two metres apart. Everyone else joins via Zoom. Apart from the aforementioned Logan who, by dint of his status as Grand Daddy of Eurovision, has an entire TV studio to himself.

On international Twitter, people reckon he looks like a cross between Julian Assange, Kenny Rogers and Hulk Hogan. At least nobody mistakes him for Dickie Rock.

As holding manoeuvres go, the two-hour broadcast feels held together with duct-tape (the satellite link-up delays are especially excruciating). Its heart, though, is in the right place.

It isnt the Eurovision obviously.

But it feelsEurovision-y? We meet the contestants, with their perfect teeth, imperfect songs and imaginative hair. They tell us they love us, were all in this together and that we should keep our spirits high by listening to their music.

In bonus good news, the dreaded elimination semi-finals have been jettisoned. Instead, all 400 contestants (Im pretty sure thats how many songs we sit through) have a brief - and it is very brief -moment on the spotlight.

These include Irelands Lesley Roy, who says hello from New York. Were back where we belong: on Eurovision on Saturday night.

As is Marty Whelan, whose voiceover is low-key but nonetheless contains many classic Marty-isms (That song was called the Wild Wind - as you know theres a tablet for that).

Over all, its quite an Irish-flavoured affair. Logan is on at the start, accompanied by a chorus of fans singing along from their living rooms. Later, we are treated to the curious flex of Dutch TV interviewing Corkman Graham Norton, in his capacity as the voice of British Eurovision.

This is strange and probably says more about Dutch anglophilia than Nortons standing among Eurovision devotees.

Do viewers in Azerbaijan / Estonia / San Marino etc have the foggiest who is is? Even he seems baffled as to why hes been invited. Sandwiched in between meanwhile are appearances by Dana, Niamh Kavanagh and the Rock of Cashel (which will surely give credence to rumours that RT was considering sending this crumbling landmark instead of Nicky Byrne to the 2016 Eurovision).

Eurovision in the Before Times was nothing if not fabulous. With all the contestants at home and the hosts doing their best Miriam OCallaghan-hosting-a-scary-Late-Late-Show impersonations, the atmosphere is inevitably a bit flat.

Chantal Janzen, Edsilia Rombley and Jan Smit try hard, however. And they proceed to terrify us a tad when they join in with Johnny Logan on Whats Another Year and are revealed to have perfect singing voices.

The actual songs are obviously all over the place. From Ireland to Russia, via Australia and Iceland, there are power ballads, dance-floor bangers, acoustic numbers and the new genre of sounds like Billie Eilish.

But heartstrings are pulled with gusto. Abbas Bjrn Ulvaeus, especially, has everyone dabbing away tears recalling the time his grandson asked if he used to be pop star.

Its clever of the broadcasters to bring down the curtains with Love Shine A Light by Katrina and the Waves, he adds. Especially considering the obvious alternative was Waterloo - not a song we need to hear during a dystopian viral outbreak.

As billed, the evening ends with Love Shine A Light. All the finalists sing a line of a track which saw Topeka, Kansas native Katrina Leskanich win the contest for the UK in 1997.

This is Eurovision without the douze points, the block voting and contestants waving tiny flags backstage. But its also a reminder that,while the coronavirus can shut our schools and our pubs, it cant stop us coming together to celebrate our shared love of kitsch pop music.

A tiny victory but at times like these lets take them where we find them.

NSA guidance to teleworkers: rely on end-to-end encryption – Security Boulevard

Posted on May 19, 2020 by admin

The work-from-home shift driven by the Covid-19 crisis has opened the door to a fresh round of cyber attacks. With so many government, military, and private sector employees working from home and using VPNs or remote desktops, the incidence of attacks has increased significantly. In an effort to improve government and military teleworkers cyber hygiene, the NSA recently issued guidelines for using collaboration services. At the top of the NSAs list is the recommendation that collaboration services employ end-to-end encryption.The value of end-to-end encryption has long been known. However, its inclusion in the NSAs list highlights its shift to the mainstream by an organization known to seek the highest levels of security for themselves and their technologies. The NSA notes that by following the guidelines it defines, users can reduce their risk exposure and become harder targets for bad actors.

End-to-end encryption is the gold standard for protecting email and file storage/sharing. Thats why the NSAs recently released guidance on telework focuses on it. According to the NSA, the top criterion for selecting and safely using collaboration services for telework should be:

Does the service implement end-to-end encryption?

PreVeils end-to-end encrypted email and file sharing platform solidly meets this standard. PreVeils security model assumes cyberattacks will occur and focuses on ensuring that any attacks are futile. With PreVeil, data is never decrypted on any server anywhere; if attackers successfully breach a server, all they will see is useless gibberish. PreVeil can be used seamlessly in conjunction with VPNs or remote desktops but is capable of securing data transmissions over any wireless or wired connection due to the power of end-to-end encryption. to secure files, data, and communications.

The NSAs second recommendation is to:

Use strong well-known and testable encryption standards

PreVeils architecture is built on NIST FIPS 140-2 certified encryption algorithms. The algorithm defines the critical security standards that the private sector must use for encryption in order to work with the U.S. government.

PreVeils use of end-to-end encryption along with strong algorithms ensures a secure alternative to VPNs and remote desktop. These solutions are relatively insecure methods for collaboration because they are vulnerable to password and admin attacks. End-to-end encryption provides an ideal alternative to passwords by ensuring authentication through cryptographic private keys stored only on users devices. These keys reside only on the users device and cannot be phished, guessed, or spoofed.Moreover, PreVeils Approval Group feature prevents admins from becoming central points of attack. By requiring several people to approve an administrators sensitive activities, such as exporting corporate data, invasive actions by a single admin are not possible. Similar to nuclear launch keys, this strategy prevents malicious activity by requiring more than one person to authorize critical actions. Trust is distributed among approvers instead of being centralized within one admin.

Flattening the curve of the spread of the coronavirus is crucial to limiting potentially dire effects of the pandemic. Working from home is the right thing to do for those for whom it is possible. But, as the NSA directive makes clear, protecting our collaborations is also vital.With PreVeil, your enterprise can quickly transition to remote work without sacrificing the security you need to minimize business risk and continue the important work you do.Read our updated Work from Home whitepaper to learn more.

Quantum computing will (eventually) help us discover vaccines in days – VentureBeat

The coronavirus is proving that we have to move faster in identifying and mitigating epidemics before they become pandemics because, in todays global world, viruses spread much faster, further, and more frequently than ever before.

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, its that while our ability to identify and treat pandemics has improved greatly since the outbreak of the Spanish Flu in 1918, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Over the past few decades, weve taken huge strides to improve quick detection capabilities. It took a mere 12 days to map the outer spike protein of the COVID-19 virus using new techniques. In the 1980s, a similar structural analysis for HIV took four years.

But developing a cure or vaccine still takes a long time and involves such high costs that big pharma doesnt always have incentive to try.

Drug discovery entrepreneur Prof. Noor Shaker posited that Whenever a disease is identified, a new journey into the chemical space starts seeking a medicine that could become useful in contending diseases. The journey takes approximately 15 years and costs $2.6 billion, and starts with a process to filter millions of molecules to identify the promising hundreds with high potential to become medicines. Around 99% of selected leads fail later in the process due to inaccurate prediction of behavior and the limited pool from which they were sampled.

Prof. Shaker highlights one of the main problems with our current drug discovery process: The development of pharmaceuticals is highly empirical. Molecules are made and then tested, without being able to accurately predict performance beforehand. The testing process itself is long, tedious, cumbersome, and may not predict future complications that will surface only when the molecule is deployed at scale, further eroding the cost/benefit ratio of the field. And while AI/ML tools are already being developed and implemented to optimize certain processes, theres a limit to their efficiency at key tasks in the process.

Ideally, a great way to cut down the time and cost would be to transfer the discovery and testing from the expensive and time-inefficient laboratory process (in-vitro) we utilize today, to computer simulations (in-silico). Databases of molecules are already available to us today. If we had infinite computing power we could simply scan these databases and calculate whether each molecule could serve as a cure or vaccine to the COVID-19 virus. We would simply input our factors into the simulation and screen the chemical space for a solution to our problem.

In principle, this is possible. After all, chemical structures can be measured, and the laws of physics governing chemistry are well known. However, as the great British physicist Paul Dirac observed: The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble.

In other words, we simply dont have the computing power to solve the equations, and if we stick to classical computers we never will.

This is a bit of a simplification, but the fundamental problem of chemistry is to figure out where electrons sit inside a molecule and calculate the total energy of such a configuration. With this data, one could calculate the properties of a molecule and predict its behavior. Accurate calculations of these properties will allow the screening of molecular databases for compounds that exhibit particular functions, such as a drug molecule that is able to attach to the coronavirus spike and attack it. Essentially, if we could use a computer to accurately calculate the properties of a molecule and predict its behavior in a given situation, it would speed up the process of identifying a cure and improve its efficiency.

Why are quantum computers much better than classical computers at simulating molecules?

Electrons spread out over the molecule in a strongly correlated fashion, and the characteristics of each electron depend greatly on those of its neighbors. These quantum correlations (or entanglement) are at the heart of the quantum theory and make simulating electrons with a classical computer very tricky.

The electrons of the COVID-19 virus, for example, must be treated in general as being part of a single entity having many degrees of freedom, and the description of this ensemble cannot be divided into the sum of its individual, distinguishable electrons. The electrons, due to their strong correlations, have lost their individuality and must be treated as a whole. So to solve the equations, you need to take into account all of the electrons simultaneously. Although classical computers can in principle simulate such molecules, every multi-electron configuration must be stored in memory separately.

Lets say you have a molecule with only 10 electrons (forget the rest of the atom for now), and each electron can be in two different positions within the molecule. Essentially, you have 2^10=1024 different configurations to keep track of rather just 10 electrons which would have been the case if the electrons were individual, distinguishable entities. Youd need 1024 classical bits to store the state of this molecule. Quantum computers, on the other hand, have quantum bits (qubits), which can be made to strongly correlate with one another in the same way electrons within molecules do. So in principle, you would need only about 10 such qubits to represent the strongly correlated electrons in this model system.

The exponentially large parameter space of electron configurations in molecules is exactly the space qubits naturally occupy. Thus, qubits are much more adapted to the simulation of quantum phenomena. This scaling difference between classical and quantum computation gets very big very quickly. For instance, simulating penicillin, a molecule with 41 atoms (and many more electrons) will require 10^86 classical bits, or more bits than the number of atoms in the universe. With a quantum computer, you would only need about 286 qubits. This is still far more qubits than we have today, but certainly a more reasonable and achievable number.The COVID-19 virus outer spike protein, for comparison, contains many thousands of atoms and is thus completely intractable for classical computation. The size of proteins makes them intractable to classical simulation with any degree of accuracy even on todays most powerful supercomputers. Chemists and pharma companies do simulate molecules with supercomputers (albeit not as large as the proteins), but they must resort to making very rough molecule models that dont capture the details a full simulation would, leading to large errors in estimation.

It might take several decades until a sufficiently large quantum computer capable of simulating molecules as large as proteins will emerge. But when such a computer is available, it will mean a complete revolution in the way the pharma and the chemical industries operate.

The holy grail end-to-end in-silico drug discovery involves evaluating and breaking down the entire chemical structures of the virus and the cure.

The continued development of quantum computers, if successful, will allow for end-to-end in-silico drug discovery and the discovery of procedures to fabricate the drug. Several decades from now, with the right technology in place, we could move the entire process into a computer simulation, allowing us to reach results with amazing speed. Computer simulations could eliminate 99.9% of false leads in a fraction of the time it now takes with in-vitro methods. With the appearance of a new epidemic, scientists could identify and develop a potential vaccine/drug in a matter of days.

The bottleneck for drug development would then move from drug discovery to the human testing phases including toxicity and other safety tests. Eventually, even these last stage tests could potentially be expedited with the help of a large scale quantum computer, but that would require an even greater level of quantum computing than described here. Tests at this level would require a quantum computer with enough power to contain a simulation of the human body (or part thereof) that will screen candidate compounds and simulate their impact on the human body.

Achieving all of these dreams will demand a continuous investment into the development of quantum computing as a technology. As Prof. Shohini Ghose said in her 2018 Ted Talk: You cannot build a light bulb by building better and better candles. A light bulb is a different technology based on a deeper scientific understanding. Todays computers are marvels of modern technology and will continue to improve as we move forward. However, we will not be able to solve this task with a more powerful classical computer. It requires new technology, more suited for the task.
