The later addition to the building is a perfect metaphor for the typical problems
of software development. The building uses a colour scheme to indicate its different basic
structures, but the routers, being a recent addition, do not fit the scheme. Can we come up
with a way of building buildings and software that makes such large-scale adaptations
possible? What would a Centre Pompidou plan look like if it was supposed to accommodate the
late addition of new basic networks?
The report highlights new programming languages in malware development, the adoption of malicious GenAI and the acceleration of geopolitical threat activity.
<p>The energy consumption of data centers and information and communication technology (ICT) devices is growing at an alarming rate, projected to constitute up to 20 percent of global energy consumption by 2030. To support the digital transformation effectively, we need to enhance software efficiency. A promising avenue in this endeavor is incremental computing, where computations react to input changes rather than recomputing results from scratch. However, existing approaches to incrementality have limited applicability: They either demand expert knowledge, support only specialized domains (e.g., database queries), or yield only modest speedups. At Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), Professor Sebastian Erdweg and his team aim to develop a methodology for automatically incrementalizing computations and significantly improving their time and energy efficiency. The European Research Council (ERC) is sponsoring the new project "AutoInc" to the extent of EUR
