SWOT template for Construction Projects

Sarah Fox

This document provides a SWOT template to help analyze the context of a client project as part of the BUILDTM framework. The SWOT analysis should consider both internal and external factors related to the entire life-cycle of the project. The objectives of this analysis are to act in the client's best interests, obtain the right information, clarify the client's perspectives and criteria for success, ensure consistent information across the project team, and focus on what is most critical for the client. The template then lists examples of factors to consider for the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the project.

This document summarizes a case study on improving sales and operations planning (S&OP) at PZ Cussons Ghana Ltd, a consumer goods company. The study assessed the company's S&OP process, identified gaps compared to literature, determined the maturity level using Lapide's framework, and analyzed benefits. Key findings were that PZ Cussons' S&OP process was between stages 2-3, with 18 gaps identified across people, processes, and technology. While S&OP led to improved communication and teamwork, other metrics like forecast accuracy and customer service saw limited gains. The study concluded the process could be improved by closing the identified gaps and investing in integrated S&OP technology.

CDE themed comp - synbio part 1

Defence and Security Accelerator

The document discusses utilizing synthetic biology to develop novel transparent materials for defence applications such as transparent armor. It describes two challenges for a competition: 1) producing and characterizing novel transparent materials, and 2) developing adhesives and interlayer materials compatible with transparent armor. Currently, transparent armor has poor ballistic performance compared to opaque armor and is expensive due to specialized materials and processing required. Synthetic biology may be able to create new transparent composite materials inspired by biology with enhanced properties for armor applications.

Beyond battery power: future autonomy

Defence and Security Accelerator

The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While smaller robots are safer and more practical for defense applications, current battery technology only allows for an hour or two of operation, which is not enough. Batteries are also limited in their energy density and unlikely to improve much in the next 10-20 years. The document proposes potential alternative power solutions that could be explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that last a day or two before recycling. It concludes that long-endurance power sources for smaller robots present an opportunity for defense applications if technical challenges can be addressed.

Beyond battery power - CDE themed competition part 2

Defence and Security Accelerator

The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While small robots are attractive for defense applications like reconnaissance and patrolling, battery technology cannot provide enough energy density for more than an hour or two of operation. Fuel cells and generators are not feasible options at small scales either. However, the document suggests some potential solutions being explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that could operate for a day before recycling. The goal is to develop alternative power sources that would enable the widespread use of smaller autonomous robots in defense applications.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS. Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application. I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment

Octavian Nadolu

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject. We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup. Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved. The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring. The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise. By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
