ERP Software has firmly positioned itself in the business market. No matter what size and characteristics, ERP is strong in action helping the business industry cut down their unwanted business expenses, making the business organization work more efficient and productive. Depending on the complexity and nature of business workflows, the importance of implementing an ERP and its benefits get magnified and reduced.
For, instance, in a meat processing industry, the role of ERP is pivotal and crucial as the meat industry deals with perishable goods. For meat processors, the quality of a product is the top-notch element they must uphold for ensuring their successful business run. The role of ERP in the meat industry has a significant role to play in keeping the timeliness and retention of good quality products

Posidonia in Athens - June 4-8 2012
It is the most eagerly anticipated event in the maritime calendar, a must-attend forum for the global shipping community. Carrying almost symbolic connotations for Greece’s most prolific of industry sectors it combines business, networking and recreation all in one package.
The ultimate biennial shipping trade event is once again on our doorstep, albeit a different one; for the first time in its 43 year-long history, its thousands of exhibitors and visitors will go through the gates of the Metropolitan Expo Centre, the state-of-the-art exhibition venue near Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. Spanning 46,000 square meters, the venue will further improve the image and appeal of Posidonia as the shipping industry’s finest forum and be able to comfortably accommodate exhibitors and the anticipated 17,000 visitors from nearly 90 countries who will come to Greece specifically for the exhibition. This is the fourth venue to host the exhibition following Zappeion, which hosted the first four editions in the 60s and 70s, the Passenger Terminal of OLP in Piraeus which hosted Posidonia from 1976 until 2004, before it moved to the Hellenicon Exhibition Centre at Athens’ old international airport site.
For almost half a century, Posidonia keeps constantly reinventing itself. This year in particular, apart from the switch to a new venue, the organizers are introducing the very first Posidonia Conference and Seminars program, a comprehensive schedule of meetings designed to bring together decision-makers and thought leaders from a wide range of shipping industry sectors to discuss financing, shipbuilding, technology and environmental policies. The program will take place within the fully equipped halls and seminar rooms of the conference facilities of the Metropolitan Expo Centre.
And the busy recreational calendar of the Posidonia week has been enriched this year with the inclusion of the Posidonia Golf Tournament, which joins sailing and football as the third sporting event Posidonia exhibitors and visitors can participate in. Teeing off at the idyllic environment of the Glyfada Golf Course, next to Athens’ picturesque waterfront, the tournament is expected to create new networking opportunities for attendees of the world’s most prestigious maritime affair.
“Posidonia has grown from strength to strength and keeps adding fresh components to enhance the overall experience of our exhibitors and visitors and maximize the potential networking and new business opportunities of the forum,” said Theo Vokos, Project Director, Posidonia Exhibitions S.A.
“The success and global appeal of Posidonia that has fuelled its journey of the past five decades is mainly due to the consistent pursuit for perfection and differentiation from other events which target the same audience. I guess Posidonia carries with it a tradition which is associated with Greece’s rich seafaring heritage and the unique

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.

Editor's Notes
Recalls increasing for several reasons, 3 of which include:Consumers are more aware and conscientiousMore federal and industry regulations and mandatesGlobalization and supply chain complexities have increased, where there are more points where issues can be introduced
Industry reaction to these recalls is more regulation:FSMA – new FDA regulation that mandates all companies must have Food Safety Management systems in place, including document control, HACCP and recall. This is the biggest change to Food Safety legislation in over 60 years.(from myGFSI website) GFSI – The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a collaboration between some of the world's leading food safety experts from retailer, manufacturer and food service companies, as well as service providers associated with the food supply chain. It is coordinated by The Consumer Goods Forum, the only independent global network for consumer goods retailers and manufacturers worldwide. It serves the CEOs and senior management of nearly 400 members, in over 150 countries.Why did the Global Food Safety Initiative begin?In May 2000, following a number of food safety scares, a group of international retailer CEOs identified the need to enhance food safety, ensure consumer protection and to strengthen consumer confidence. They launched the Global Food Safety Initiative which sets requirements for food safety schemes through a benchmarking process in order to improve cost efficiency throughout the food supply chain. WalMart and other major retailers mandate suppliers follow one of the 8 schemas supported by GFSI, which includes SQF and variants of ISO22000. These standards are very similar to the FSMA recently set by the FDA
So How do Manufacturers comply with government and industry mandates with limited resources and all this complexity in the F&B supply chain?
