Building Voice Apps & Experiences For Amazon Echo
Building Voice Apps & Experiences For Amazon EchoAmazon Appstore Developers Echo is a new device from Amazon designed around your voice. It's always on—just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Tucked under Echo's light ring is an array of seven microphones. When Echo detects the wake word, it lights up and streams audio to the cloud, where it leverages the power of Amazon Web Services to recognize and respond to your request. With the release of the Alexa AppKit you can now build your own apps and experiences for Amazon Echo. This session will cover everything you need to know starting off with how to use the Alexa AppKit, how to build your first voice app, and end with the app submission process
David Isbitski - Enabling new voice experiences with Amazon Alexa and AWS Lambda
David Isbitski - Enabling new voice experiences with Amazon Alexa and AWS LambdaWithTheBest Alexa, the voice service that powers Amazon Echo and Amazon Fire TV, provides a set of built-in abilities, or skills, that enable customers to interact with devices in a more intuitive way using voice. Examples of these skills include the ability to play music, answer general questions, set an alarm or timer and more.
We will also be taking a quick look at how the healthcare industry is integrating with the Alexa Skills Kit for new use cases. With the Alexa Skills Kit, you can easily build and add your own skills to Alexa. Customers can then access these new skills simply by asking Alexa a question or making a command.
This workshop will be a walkthrough of the latest Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) and will teach you how to build your own skills for Alexa enabled devices, like the Amazon Echo. You will get hands on experience with an Amazon Echo device, the Alexa Skills Kit and AWS Lambda. You will also learn how to monitor your new skill using AWS CloudWatch and how to test your skill using both the Alexa Service Simulator, AWS Lambda Unit Tests and an Amazon Echo device.

IRJET- Amazon Echo Controlled Smart Web Application: Integrating Echo with We...IRJET Journal This document describes how to create a smart website that can be controlled using an Amazon Echo device. It involves 3 main steps:
1. Setting up an Alexa skill to configure the Echo device to recognize commands related to the website. This involves defining intents and utterances for commands.
2. Developing the website backend to handle commands from Alexa. It receives messages from Alexa and performs tasks like fetching user data.
3. Setting up a web socket server for communication between the Echo and website. It routes messages between them using the user's name.
When a user issues a command to their Echo, it sends a message to the web socket server including the user's name. The server forwards it to

Boosting MySQL with Vector Search -THE VECTOR SEARCH CONFERENCE 2025 .pdf
Boosting MySQL with Vector Search -THE VECTOR SEARCH CONFERENCE 2025 .pdfAlkin Tezuysal As the demand for vector databases and Generative AI continues to rise, integrating vector storage and search capabilities into traditional databases has become increasingly important. This session introduces the *MyVector Plugin*, a project that brings native vector storage and similarity search to MySQL. Unlike PostgreSQL, which offers interfaces for adding new data types and index methods, MySQL lacks such extensibility. However, by utilizing MySQL's server component plugin and UDF, the *MyVector Plugin* successfully adds a fully functional vector search feature within the existing MySQL + InnoDB infrastructure, eliminating the need for a separate vector database. The session explains the technical aspects of integrating vector support into MySQL, the challenges posed by its architecture, and real-world use cases that showcase the advantages of combining vector search with MySQL's robust features. Attendees will leave with practical insights on how to add vector search capabilities to their MySQL systems.

National Fuels Treatments Initiative: Building a Seamless Map of Hazardous Fu...Safe Software The National Fuels Treatments Initiative (NFT) is transforming wildfire mitigation by creating a standardized map of nationwide fuels treatment locations across all land ownerships in the United States. While existing state and federal systems capture this data in diverse formats, NFT bridges these gaps, delivering the first truly integrated national view. This dataset will be used to measure the implementation of the National Cohesive Wildland Strategy and demonstrate the positive impact of collective investments in hazardous fuels reduction nationwide. In Phase 1, we developed an ETL pipeline template in FME Form, leveraging a schema-agnostic workflow with dynamic feature handling intended for fast roll-out and light maintenance. This was key as the initiative scaled from a few to over fifty contributors nationwide. By directly pulling from agency data stores, oftentimes ArcGIS Feature Services, NFT preserves existing structures, minimizing preparation needs. External mapping tables ensure consistent attribute and domain alignment, while robust change detection processes keep data current and actionable. Now in Phase 2, we’re migrating pipelines to FME Flow to take advantage of advanced scheduling, monitoring dashboards, and automated notifications to streamline operations. Join us to explore how this initiative exemplifies the power of technology, blending FME, ArcGIS Online, and AWS to solve a national business problem with a scalable, automated solution.

GIS and FME: The Foundation to Improve the Locate Process of Utilities
GIS and FME: The Foundation to Improve the Locate Process of UtilitiesSafe Software Locate requests is an important activity for utility companies to prevent people who are digging from damaging underground assets. At Energir, locates were historically treated by our internal field technicians. It’s a very intensive and time-sensitive task during the summer season and it has a significant financial and environmental cost. Since locate requests tend to increase from year to year, it became clear that improvements were needed to keep delivering a quality service to requestors and keeping Energir’s assets safe. This presentation will explain how transformative projects done in the past years allowed to start sending locate plans to requestors without the intervention of field technicians. The analysis of the GIS data through FME workbenchs allows to filter some locate request types and process them semi-automatically. However, the experience gained so far shows that this process is limited by the fact that Energir’s is missing precise information about the spatial accuracy. Future plans are to precisely locate most of Energir’s gas network and FME will again be a huge help to integrate all the data that will be produced.
