#Metro'24
RockLine
In this case, the word "ROCK" has up to three meanings - the cornerstone of buildings and cities (SKA), adventure and adrenaline in the mountains (Peter Hámor) and a musical style that we will enjoy to the fullest!
The program will also be accompanied by important guests from the fields of science (SAV) & architecture (SKA). Our goal is to connect scientific knowledge about new energy sources, smart buildings and the (re)design of entire neighborhoods as well as effective Smart City & Smart Building solutions.
Friday night you will be able to feel ancient atmosphere on Lubovniasky castle, through unique and unforgottable solstice party.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
Support of education and motivation of young people
One of the main goals of the conference is to support education, motivation of young people and their active involvement in global challenges while allowing them to learn more about the ethical development of their talent and creativity. Therefore, over 150 talented young IT students are going to get an opportunity to attend the conference for free.
At the same time, we are going to financially support: young talents from socially disadvantaged families, implementation of student projects in the (f)ITcubator in the city of Poprad as well as the rescue of beech forests and development of ecotourism in the POLONINY & TOKAJ wine region.

The projects he works on, win various awards. He and his colleagues are trying to create cognitive but synthetic intelligence. It is the holy grail of cybernetics. The projects he is working on fit into this idea. The company is gradually expanding the robot's cognitive capabilities and thus automating things that don't go the standard IT routes. Cybernetics bridges the fields of natural sciences, with social sciences. Philosophy, ethics, linguistics, and psychology are addressed, and these are topics that Libor has been a fan of all his life. Today he can apply it in practice. He has been on the board of the company for the last 8 years. His job is to make economic sense of edge technologies. This has proven to be the most difficult discipline in Libor's life. Otherwise, he has a family, a son and a dog. To unwind, he goes out with a drill in hand, to the countryside or to tango classes.

09:40 am Workshop - Streamed access management isn’t web streaming as you know it
What comes to mind when you hear "web streaming"? YouTube or Netflix? Cloud gaming services or TeamViewer streaming a remote desktop? These are the usual suspects.
Although Streamed Access Management (SAM) introduces a different angle: streaming access to remote resources like RDP, VNC, or websites via a secure tunnel, with management, auditing, content control and other features for administrators, as well as end users.
In this talk we will explore how streamed web changes traditional websites rendering and interaction. Here, everything happens on the server, and only the output is streamed to the client’s browser.
We will delve into the innovative concept of Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), its implementation in Excalibur VITRO technology, as well as security implications and practical use cases.
