A researcher from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, discovers a novel approach to enhancing safety-critical systems using parallelized algorithms on AWS. Alex Morgan, a doctoral candidate at UNLV, explores methods to bolster safety-critical systems that rely on extensive computational resources. Through his research initiative, known as pFaces, Morgan utilizes AWS to expedite parallelized algorithms and manage computational complexity, thereby accelerating scientific advancements. His findings propose an innovative framework for designing and deploying verified control software for safety-critical applications, including autonomous driving technologies.

In a significant development, the National Museum of Art has released 2.8 million images as part of its Open Access Initiative. This initiative allows anyone with internet access to explore high-resolution media and associated metadata from the museum’s extensive collection. This dataset stands as the largest museum collection made publicly available to date.
AWS Educate has formed a partnership with Project Lead the Way (PLTW) to deliver cloud computing education to K12 students across the U.S., including those in areas with limited technology resources. This collaboration empowers more students to access AWS Educate’s curriculum via PLTW’s expansive network of over 12,200 schools.
In another notable case, cloud-based technologies enable organizations, including governmental bodies, to develop applications leveraging existing online services that provide open APIs for reliable data delivery. A key component in this scenario is OAuth, a standard that facilitates access delegation for users.
Additionally, AWS Educate’s Cloud Ambassador Program has expanded to include college students globally. This program recognizes individuals for their innovative contributions that prepare students for careers in the evolving technology landscape.
Moreover, the bipartisan Supporting Veterans in STEM Careers Act was recently enacted to assist veterans transitioning into the workforce and encourage them to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). At AWS, we have implemented several initiatives aimed at engaging the military community, helping them acquire AWS technical skills and fostering successful career paths.
Lastly, technology plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable agriculture practices. Understanding the impact of agriculture on economic development, we explore how technology can enhance farming sustainability and resilience to climate changes. Our customers are at the forefront of tackling these pressing questions.
To further assist government entities in creating citizen-specific services in the cloud, AWS DigiGov has been introduced. This initiative supports government agencies in adapting to the cloud, thus enhancing their ability to meet the evolving needs of citizens. For those interested in hiring opportunities at AWS, this resource is excellent.
