Any runner or generally a sport-doer with a spark for technology could find this talk interesting. I refer to personal experience having IT (for last 35+ years) & athletics background (during elementary, high-school and faculty) and long-running background in the last 5 years culminating with marathon running. Talk covers: - motivational reasons to choose sports when doing IT and why many turned (or came back) to running (incl. myself) - IT tech goodies: wearables, technology, related systems and protocols. radio - tech in sport gear - data analysis details (help in preparation or analysis) - case-study of architecture on "Strava" and "Garmin Connect" - interesting aspects of related tech and challenges in programming such systems - Q&A (may appear wearing gear mentioned in talk)

What a team from Osijek does within a multinational company (Eviden) on develpment of most modern systems for communication in ralways as opposed to GSM-R (established in 2000. with ~25yrs lifecycle, for which in Croatia, believe it or not, we have a public tender this year). The talk will firstly establish the level of audience understanding/tech provess and focus around: - intro into technological spectrum for this kind of system in a country-wide deployment - story on GSM-R and how it works (around EU and not in Croatia :), yet) (Eviden has supposedly the only GSM-R test-lab in Croatia since the time we were part of Siemens) - story of FRMCS-u and what is planned within scope of standards (Eviden has FRMCS projects and is member of related standardization associations/conglomerates) - standardization undertakings and what do we do from Osijek - a life-example - one projekt example and talk about process levels, tech i challenges (Microsoft SW in such projects, RedHat, Oracle, functionals & nonfunctionals and how it's solved technologically) - Q&A Predavanje ce biti s uvodnim ispipavanjem znanja publike, ali okvirno: - uvod u tehnoloski spektar - prica o GSM-Ru i kako to sve radi (Eviden ima valjda jedini GSM-R test-lab u Hrvatskoj jos od vremena Siemensa) - prica o FRMCS-u i sto se tu standardno planira (Eviden radi na FRMCS projektima) - standardizacijski pothvati i sto tu radimo - primjer iz zivota - sto znaci raditi projekt na tom nivou, tehnologije i izazovi (Microsoft SW u takvim projektima, RedHat, Oracle, funkcionalni i nefunkcionalni zahtjevi i kako ih tehnologije rjesavaju) - Q&A

PTT buttons, special earpieces, cables, phones (UE - user equipment), cab radios, touch screens, tablets, enclosures/cabinets, holders, hangers.. and so on. It might happen that a tracked vehicle, an APV or tank, or a truck could drive over this type of devices, so what's so special about it? So I will talk about topics related to special stuff: - intro on development of special software for various industry domains which runs on special hardware - talk from experience - scenarios: desert, wet climate, war and peace operations, police, firefighting, military, transport, various certificates associated with that - provide scenario descriptions and programming challenges of wporking with such devices - go through list of varius type of UEs we worked with (from pre-production mobiles, to hardened stuff, to something that looks like normal phone with some more buttons) - accessories - PTTs and programming challenges, headphones/earpieces, bluetooth vs cable - go into a typical deployment and what customers usually ask for - show a demo with special equipment (which I bring with me) - Q&A

Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is coming and set to replace existing tech (GSMR, TETRA, VHF). Based on experience of implementing "first of it's kind" project - actual world first commercial national tender deploying this tech in real life - here comes the solution architect and engineering lead of the product to tell you about practical challenges in doing "Mission Critical" in railways. FRMCS is coming to us from standardization bodies like UIC, ETSI, 3GPP, TCCA, GCF and there's a team of several tens of people, mainly sitting in Osijek, Croatia - that's doing this for over 7yrs. Talk is going to be split in: - quiz (evaluation of audience level to adapt talk terminology to fit all) - short description FRMCS/MCX terminology - description how railways operate now - infra, security, continuous operations - example day in a life of "dispatcher" (controller), cab-radio operator (train driver), power switch controller, maintenance worker, shunter, and so on - intro to functional and non-functional aspects of such systems - real-world examples of deployed architectures - (if time permits - live-demo) - live demo of specialized HW for the domain Take-aways: - insights into internals of railway operations and technology - SW and HW examples incl. architecture - getting to see HW you can't normally buy (no COTS HW) - detail level variable according to audience capacity and interest
