The document discusses the need for a new systems biology modelling environment. It provides context on systems biology and existing modelling approaches and software. It then makes the case that a new modelling environment could improve the user experience for biologists by making models easier to build and refine while allowing for more complex models at larger scales. Key details on existing challenges and the proposed new environment are outlined.

Exact and efficient top-K inference for multi-target prediction by querying s...Michiel Stock
Many complex multi-target prediction problems that concern large target spaces are characterised by a need for efficient prediction strategies that avoid the computation of predictions for all targets explicitly. Examples of such problems emerge in several subfields of machine learning, such as collaborative filtering, multi-label classification, dyadic prediction and biological network inference. In this article we analyse efficient and exact algorithms for computing the top-$K$ predictions in the above problem settings, using a general class of models that we refer to as separable linear relational models. We show how to use those inference algorithms, which are modifications of well-known information retrieval methods, in a variety of machine learning settings. Furthermore, we study the possibility of scoring items incompletely, while still retaining an exact top-$K$ retrieval. Experimental results in several application domains reveal that the so-called threshold algorithm is very scalable, performing often many orders of magnitude more efficiently than the naive approach.

Identifying and Resolving Consistency Issues between Model RepresentationsIvan Ruchkin
An overview research talk given during at JPL on July 22, 2015.
Abstract:
Today’s complex cyber-physical systems require the use of a variety of models to capture different aspects of these systems: physical models, software models, control models, and so on. A critical challenge is to ensure consistency and completeness of these models. In this talk we describe an approach that uses architectural models as the basis for reconciliation. Specifically, a base architecture of the system is used as a unifying representation to compare the structure and semantics of the associated models through a set of architectural projections, or views. Each model is related to the base architecture through the abstraction of a corresponding architectural view, which captures structural and semantic correspondences between model elements and system entities. The use of the architectural view framework to relate system models from different domains is illustrated in the context of a quad-rotor air vehicle and an on-going collaboration with Toyota on future braking system design.

SBML FOR OPTIMIZING DECISION SUPPORT'S TOOLScsandit
Many theoretical works and tools on epidemiological field reflect the emphasis on decisionmaking
tools by both public health and the scientific community, which continues to increase.
Indeed, in the epidemiological field, modeling tools are proving a very important way in helping
to make decision. However, the variety, the large volume of data and the nature of epidemics
lead us to seek solutions to alleviate the heavy burden imposed on both experts and developers.
In this paper, we present a new approach: the passage of an epidemic model realized in Bio-
PEPA to a narrative language using the basics of SBML language. Our goal is to allow on one
hand, epidemiologists to verify and validate the model, and the other hand, developers to
optimize the model in order to achieve a better model of decision making. We also present some
preliminary results and some suggestions to improve the simulated model.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
