TITLE: "FPGA-based Systems in Information and Communication"
ABSTRACT:
Field-programmable logic devices, in general, and FPGAs, in particular, permit application-specific hardware to be designed and implemented without costly and resource consuming technological steps needed for ASICs. FPGA-based systems have strong influence on many key focus areas of the conference and provide significant contribution to the development of interdisciplinary ideas and concepts. The tutorial is intended to give introduction to such systems, to illustrate their advantages in terms of technical characteristics and economical aspects, to demonstrate design steps on practical examples, and to discuss application-specific issues (case studies) targeted to the scope of the conference. Generally, the most important application areas of FPGA-based systems are rapid prototyping and acceleration of computationally intensive algorithms. The latter is achieved through broad parallelism and optimization of implemented (customized) hardware architectures. The tutorial will present typical design steps and complete examples for both the mentioned above application areas. Demonstration will be done using commercial FPGA-based boards. The following applications will be considered: software/reconfigurable hardware co-design and co-simulation; wireless interactive systems; implementation of sorting and combinatorial search algorithms; prototyping of variable instruction set processors. Computations based on the model of a hierarchical finite state machine permitting customized architectures to be easily created will be discussed. The developed FPGA-based circuits will be compared with implementations of the same algorithms in software and in known embedded processors. A separate part of the tutorial will be dedicated to teaching reconfigurable systems, which, in our opinion, is very important nowadays in engineering education. We will analyze the most relevant curricula and present our vision about what is important to teach based on more than 15 years experience in Aveiro University (Portugal). FPGA-based systems are important for both engineering applications and research activity and they enable the students to develop real-world applications significantly easier than for other hardware platforms. The proposed strategy of evolutionary education will be disseminated. Finally, the results of the project “Use of HP Mobile Technology to Enhance Teaching Reconfigurable Systems” supported by the Hewlett Packard will be demonstrated and discussed.

TITLE: "Home Area Network and Energy Management"
ABSTRACT:
Abstract: Today homes are increasely equipped with electronic devices, which manage different functions. These applications are developed in heavy walled silos in order to protect the business of each group of industries:
- multimedia silo
- telecom and internet silo
- home automation: management of light, heating/air conditioning, shutters
- energy management
- management of water, gas and other supplies
- management of “white products” (washing machine, dish washing machine, refrigerator as example)
The wide generalisation of internet standards has begun to move the barriers between silos. With the introduction of ADSL and fiberoptics “boxes”, multimedia, internet and telecom are now integrated along standards like UpNp and DLNA. The computing power of these “boxes” increases drastically, allowing to manage other functions.
This tutorial will present the different standards and architecture which are experienced and industrialised all over the world, especially those federated under the name “smart grid”

TITLE: "Backup and Recovery techniques of Oracle Database"
ABSTRACT:
Backup and recovery are mission-critical DBA tasks, and it is critical that every Oracle professional develop a RMAN strategy that guarantees recoverability while minimizing unplanned downtime.
RMAN is one of the world's most sophisticated backup and recovery tools. It is robust and complex with thousands of options. This landmark book demonstrates, by example, how to create a successful backup and recovery infrastructure using RMAN.
In this presentation you'll see real-world examples on how to use RMAN and other tools to protect your mission critical data.
We are all humans and it’s inevitable to not make a mistake in our daily life. Being a DBA and administering hundreds of databases, you should be able to go back and solve any human errors made to any database. Using flashback techniques that're available only in Oracle, we'll see how the data can be recovered in a seconds without performing any restore operation.
All of us know than it’s very dangerous to practice something directly on production database without testing it on test database. These practices may be any backup and recovery tests, or applying a patch on the test database, or generating reports on the database, or a test upgrade of the database, or application tests of developers and also preparing the environments for UAT & training and etc. In this presenation, different ways of database cloning operation will be covered.
Furthemore, almost all backup and recovery techniques will be covered with practical video demonstrations.
