Week 2: Assignment Instructions
In each week the learning assignment is designed to demonstrate your competence with the Terminal Course Objectives of the course. Prior to working on the assignment, you should read through the week’s chapters and lesson.
Clearly identify your work with your name, the date, the week number and the assignment name, and upload work to the Dropbox.
The questions are designed to probe the higher levels of thinking and learning such as analyzing, evaluating and creating, and so there often are no “correct” answers. Instead of focusing and who wins or loses the case, you should analyze, evaluate and create alternative solutions to the various issues presented while arguing and debating the connections between business, law, politics and ethics.
Terminal Course Objective: G
Case Study: International and World Trade Law - Counterfeiting
Write a 1-2 page reflective paper (double spaced) on the following questions while discussing the connections between business, law, politics and ethics.
One: There has been a movement in the last decade encouraging people to “buy American.” Discuss the legal and ethical issues related to boycotting goods from other countries. What are the practical business implications of such a move?
Two: The World Trade Organization, or WTO, is the largest and most influential of the trade organizations. China and other heavy counterfeiting nations are part of this group. What could WTO-participating nations do to address the problems of counterfeiting? What should they do?
Three: The United Nations Security Council, the main decision-making body at the UN, is comprised of five regular members: China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. Ten more members are elected from the General Assembly. Given the make-up of the committee, what type of action might the UN take with regard to the counterfeiting issue?

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.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

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!

• Suppose a farmer grows tomatoes in a small garden.
He notices that his plants, compared to his neighbor’s,
are not producing a lot of tomatoes and don’t look
healthy. Each spring he plants 20 seedlings, and by
autumn he usually harvests only 50 to 60 tomatoes.
This spring, following his neighbor’s advice, he mixed 5
kilograms of fertilizer into the soil. Instead of the usual
crop, his 20 plants produced more than 100 tomatoes-
what a great yield! He now believes that the fertilizer
increased his tomato crop yield. But did it really?
