Copper: A high performance workflow enginedmoebius
COPPER (COmmon Persistable Process Excecution Runtime) is an open-source high performance workflow engine, that persists the workflow instances (process) state into a database. So there is no limit to the runtime of a process. It can run for weeks, month or years. In addition, this strategy leads to crash safety.
A workflow can describe business processes for example, however any kind of use case is supported. The "modelling" language is Java, that has several advantages:
* with COPPER any Java developer is able to design workflows
* all Java developers like to use Java
* many Java libs can be integrated within COPPER
* many Java tools, like IDEs, can be used
* with COPPER your productivity will be increased when using a workflow engine
* using Java solutions will protect your investment
* COPPER is OpenSource under Apache Licence 2.0

No Business is Boring! How to Create Exciting Content for Unglamorous IndustriesSPROUT Content
Even the most technical, regulated or typically “boring” industries can create content that inspires and excites audiences. In fact, these businesses have a unique opportunity to talk to their prospects and educate them in a way that few other companies in their space do. B2B, manufacturing and other traditionally unglamorous industries who are able to reveal their voice, personality, perspective and expertise in their content make stronger and lasting connections with their audiences. They are able to share their story with the world and in turn, drive leads and sales.
In our latest webinar, SPROUT Content Co-founders Dechay Watts and Debbie Williams discussed how they inspire their clients and others in technical, "behind the scenes" industries to think about their content differently. You'll get tips from these content marketing authors on communicating person-to-person, how to come up with compelling ideas and creating content that won't put your audience to sleep. Our live brainstorming exercise and tips for creating content will help you break the mold of your conventional industry.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
