Self-Sovereign Identity

Places are limited, so it is required to register here.

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Santiago de Diego

Company: TECNALIA Research & Innovation

Description of the session:

Identity is one of the first cross-cutting areas where decentralisation will have a major impact. Over the last few decades we have seen how identity has moved from a centralised model to new federative models. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) aims to return the power of identity to the user alongside blockchain (although not necessarily), enabling the user to govern the attributes that make up their identity, thus maximising their privacy. Thanks to SSI, users can digitally demonstrate that they are over 18 or their city of residence without having to reveal their true age, identity or specific place of residence.

What audience does it address?

Informative talk, general public.

Brief Speaker CV:

Santiago de Diego is a mathematics and IT engineering graduate from the University of Granada (UGR), EHPC certified, he has a Master in information security from the UNIR, and is a remote PhD student at the UGR.

He currently works as a cybersecurity researcher at TECNALIA Research & Innovation, where he essentially works on R&D projects focussed on cybersecurity and blockchain. His lines of research cover DLT architectures, sovereign identity and cybersecurity in industrial environments and critical systems.

Date: Friday, 22nd of July, 12:00 - 12:45

From zero to racer: how to create your own race-level autonomous car

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Roberto Niubó Arango

Company: Unisys

Description of the session:

Have you heard the terms Deep Learning and Machine Learning, but you don’t know what they are even though we’re surrounded by this kind of technology in our everyday lives? Do you like racing cars and would you like to take part in an international, autonomous car race?

Thanks to AWS DeepRacer, without any prior knowledge of this type of technology and fairly easily, I learned what Deep Learning was all about. I was able to create my own neural network model capable of making a scale model car go around a race track, not only qualifying for the European finals at the time, but also becoming the winner of the Accenture World Cup in 2020 out of around 4,000 competitors, some of them experts in the world of artificial intelligence.

This talk aims to bring AWS DeepRacer and the reinforcement learning techniques used in machine learning to the public, and also to take advantage of the AWS DeepRacer technology to demonstrate that anyone, with or without previous knowledge and with or without technical skills, is able to train a neural network in less than an hour based on machine learning to solve a problem: to be able to make our car, either physical or virtual, drive around a circuit as fast as possible, completely autonomously.

We’ll also be able to squeeze our neurons (and those of our models) to compete in the AWS DeepRacer League, where we can compete for various prizes for the fastest lap time. And we're not just talking about a welcome kit once we’ve qualified for the Pro League, rather the actual AWS DeepRacer or an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas to race the actual models at the AWS re:Invent event at the end of the year.

Are you ready?🏁🏎️

What audience does it address?

General public, with or without previous technical expertise, interested in new technologies.

Brief Speaker CV:

Company: Catedrático de Inmunología de la Universidad de Valladolid

Description of the session:

El profesor Alfredo Corell, catedrático de Inmunología de la Universidad de Valladolid, expondrá en el contexto de su trayectoria como divulgador científico de la inmunología y desde su cargo de Vocal de la Junta directiva de la Sociedad Española de Inmunología, se vió en marzo de 2020 en el ojo del huracán informativo con respecto a la pandemia de la COVID-19 provocada por el SARS-CoV-2.

La comunicación científica hercúlea que debieron de desarrollar los científicos y divulgadores en estos meses se centró fundamentalmente, en el caso del prof. Corell, en dos caminos paralelos y complementarios:

-Información en medios de comunicación convencionales: televisión, radio, prensa escrita y prensa digital

-Información en Redes Sociales

A lo largo de la ponencia se desgranarán momentos de participación en todos estos formatos, con diferentes modalidades. En el caso concreto de la televisión se discriminará entre las participaciones en “mesas técnicas” de expertos sanitarios, frente a participaciones individuales en formato “micro-clase magistral divulgativa” para transmitir mensajes muy específicos.

En el caso particular de la prensa escrita, se discriminará entre artículos colaborativos con periodistas relativos a temas de actualidad, frente a la redacción de artículos exclusivos y divulgativos para revistas de un tinte más académico. Se comentará las utilidades de la participación en medios a la hora de trasladar la información a redes sociales, y las actividades específicas realizada en el ecosistema social.

Y finalmente, se hará un repaso al modo de colaborar en la tarea concreta de responder a los bulos (fake news) de modo colaborativo en plataformas de “facts checking” tales como Maldita.es, Salud sin Bulos, Newtral y EfeVerifica.

What audience does it address?

Electric vehicles - Just for geeks or a universal solution?

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Mikel Agirregabiria Agirre

CompanyPresident of AUVE (association of electric vehicle users) in Spain. Member of the Spanish Tesla Club.

Description of the session:

Using recent and reliable data, this talk will explain, in an entertaining and descriptive way, the growing trend that the car industry has already accepted towards the EACSY paradigm (electric, autonomous, connected, shared and yearly-upgraded), despite its past investments in combustion engines that have led to inertia, as well as the decisive and irreversible choice of potential buyers of present and future vehicles.

Using humour, we’ll counter the often-quoted clichés of "if it rains and the car gets wet, what happens to the batteries", "fire hazards" and "if the whole neighbourhood recharged at night, the fuses would blow". We’ll also debunk the false hybrid alternative myths (there are only disadvantages, whether rechargeable or self-charging), of hydrogen for light vehicles, and other gas or electrification gimmicks that have no future.

We’ll conclude with the current landscape of options and challenges of day-to-day electric mobility from a user perspective. Lastly, we’ll show the rapid transition that awaits us in just 8 to 10 years, both in terms of supply-demand developments and also legislation to preserve the health and sustainability of the planet and humanity.

What audience does it address?

Euskal Encounter attendees and the general public. Demystifying the abundant false news promoted by recalcitrant economic interests about electric mobility with irrefutable data.

Play-2-Earn video games, NFTs and Blockchain

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Javier Arribas Cerezo

Company: Exodus Games

Description of the session:

Cryptocurrencies and NFTs –with great sympathisers and fierce detractors– generate a wide range of opinions and instil a certain level of uncertainty about their reliability and viability in anyone exploring these new technologies. Considering that for many people blockchain is the technology of the future, while for many others it is the biggest fraud of recent times, it is understandable that we sometimes wonder who is right. Is it worth investing in this technology or will I lose my money?

One of the great debates today is around NFTs. They are seen by many as simple assets that base their value on their own inflation, without taking into account the great advantages that their correct use can provide as the epitome of what is known as virtual property. The possibility of registering ownership of tangible assets using blockchain is also gaining momentum, provided that current legislation allows it.

Moreover, the video game industry is beginning to create ties with this technology, although still rather awkwardly. Major brands are slowly joining in and new projects are emerging that focus on offering a stable and sustainable system within the Play-2-Earn game arena, rather than concentrating on short-termism and asset volatility. This is the case with Lord of Myths, the game we are working on, where we have managed to strike the right balance between internal mathematics and economics.

Rather than getting carried away by radical positions for or against this technology, we encourage you to form your own opinion on the matter, as not everything is so black and white. Be that as it may, we invite you to discover the pros and cons of this technology and how it can influence the video game industry, as told by specialists involved in the development of a game in blockchain.

Don't miss your opportunity to keep up to date with the hottest topic: cryptocurrencies and NFTs in video games. See you at EE30!

What audience does it address?

Anyone with an interest in the world of cryptocurrencies, blockchain game development or game sustainability. A general knowledge of these concepts will be enough to follow the conference.

Brief Speaker CV:

Aerospace engineering graduate from Universidad Politécnica in Madrid with a Master's in automotive and competition vehicle design. Currently working as a CAD designer for Airbus. For the past few years, he has spent his free time developing video games in blockchain, specifically Lord of Myths, with Exodus Games. He is passionate about maths and statistics and has extensive knowledge of blockchain.

Indie development in the 90s: NoriaWorks

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Jorge Rosado de Alvaro                                             

Company: RetroEuskal

Description of the session:

NoriaWorks was set up in 1994 as a 100% indie company and the brainchild of a small group of programmers. Despite being active for only a few years, it achieved international renown as the company managed to distribute some of its games globally in collaboration with Friendware.

Unlike other Spanish companies, NoriaWorks sought to innovate and forget the 8-bit era altogether, opting for arcade-style games at the forefront of technology, such as Speed Haste from 1995, the first Spanish game to be fully 3D.

Throughout its existence, NoriaWorks grew to a staff of almost 20 people, making it one of the largest video game companies in the mid-90s at a national level.

This talk will involve Jorge telling us about how NoriaWorks was created, describing each of the games that were developed, and interspersing technical data with anecdotes.

What audience does it address?

Open to all.

Brief Speaker CV:

Jorge Rosado is a video game developer with a career of close to 30 years. Without having finished his degree, he co-founded NoriaWorks, a company that in just 5 years launched 5 games and developed the first Spanish game entirely in 3D: Speed Haste.

After NoriaWorks he moved to Hammer Technologies, a company famous for creating the mythical Div Studio, a kind of Unity of the 90s that many programmers used to make their first video games.

He later moved on to Dinamic Multimedia (PC Atletismo, La Prisión) and Pyro Studios (Praetorians, Commandos Strike Force).

He currently develops mobile games at ZeptoLab.

If we look at the development of these technologies and what has been achieved with them before however, how will the advances in word and image processing proposed by the dominant companies in the industry affect our daily lives?

What audience does it address?

Cross-cutting talk with limited technical component. Aimed at general public, but more enjoyable for those who are interested in this field and/or with an IT background.

Following the trail of the winged horse (Pegasus)

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Sergio Blazquez Lopez (jejo)

CompanyEuskalhack

Description of the session:

1) We’ll briefly explain the steps to follow if we want to deal with a Pegasus-type application.
2) We’ll set up a search system to analyse and track the exfiltration of information.
3) We’ll try and remain undetected as far as possible so that the application is not uninstalled and erases its trace.
We’ll use analogies to spy movies/comics to better understand the concepts of incident response and forensic analysis.

What audience does it address?

Intermediate to advanced level.

Although the concepts are advanced, we’ll try to make it easy to practice what has been explained, using well-documented programmes (knowledge of operating system installation and network configuration is necessary).

Helium - the good and the not so good

Language: Spanish

Speaker: Rafa Martínez Landa

CompanyEuskoByte Elkartea

Description of the session:

With the rise of cryptocurrencies, many people are looking for a way to invest and make a profit using the new tokens.

Helium is a global LoraWAN network with over 850,000 devices, which remunerates anyone who installs a HotSpot providing IoT coverage and, in turn, helps mine the HNT token.

The excessive interest in this network means that the optimistic expectations of a significant number of participants are not fulfilled.

This talk aims to tell it like it is. It’s not a coin factory or a bottomless pit; guiding the HNT universe towards experimentation and personal development in the IoT world.

What audience does it address?

Individuals who want to experiment and can see the possibilities.

Brief Speaker CV:

Young electronics and radio communications enthusiast with extensive experience in this field. Radio amateur with EB2DJB call sign since 1988. Founder of EuskoByt Elkartea and promoter of TheThingsNetwork and Helium.
