GLOBAL BUILDING SOLUTIONS is a Charleston, South Carolina based company in the building technology business, its strength being Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). The core product, SIPs, are lightweight, durable, and cost effective pre-engineered building solutions that are exportable.
When Ochapowace's 1980s-era hockey arena burned down, the community mourned the loss of the old arena. But, the fire created the opportunity to replace the outdated facility with one providing extraordinary amenities for the community -- Wright Construction Western, Inc., a Butler Builder®, built the new 56,700-square-foot Chief Denton George Memorial Multiplex.
The objective of the seminar (USGBC accredited for two credits), geared towards the architectural design professional, is to identify different types of prefabricated construction as it relates to single-family residential design.
It specifically looks at three distinct prefabrication systems and how they relate to sustainable construction practices, building detailing and budgeting, and practice design standards. As well as how they expedite the building process, reduce and manage the waste stream, and help create energy-efficient high-performance envelopes.
It is about respect. A respect for the natural beauty of cedar. The way its grain and
the marks of a mill saw interact with sunlight. How those random patterns give a
home its own unique character. How techniques and knowledge hundreds of years
old can still bring forth innovations, like an exterior siding never seen before.

Let us be the first to agree with you, wood siding is beautiful on a home. But it’s a
beauty that quickly succumbs to the elements. Cracking, fading, buckling, rotting.
It is a look that is expensive and time consuming to maintain.
Alside offers a family of exterior siding that eliminates the need to
compromise aesthetics for practicality. Architectural Shingles, Shakes, Staggered
Shakes, and Scallops will endow your home with all the timeless beauty of wood
rendered in a man-made material that is maintenance free and easy to install.

We love the look of wood. It is the inspiration for this completely proprietary
process. With nearly 100 unique molds, taken from actual cedar shakes and
shingles, each home is individually beautiful.
No other manufacturer is as committed to rendering the natural, random beauty
of cedar as Alside.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

10. SIP Review A Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) sandwiched between Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Plywood, or Fiber Cement Board (FCB). These are bonded together with a structural grade laminating adhesive. SIPs can be produced in sizes ranging from 4’ x 8’ to 4’ x 24’. All lengths are produced in thickness of 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and 12”. Quality The combination of the rigid foam insulated core, bonded to an outer sheathing, forms a monolithic structural I-beam. The strength of the panel comes from displacing the load across the structure.

51. Why are SIPs so strong? The combination of the rigid foam insulated core, bonded to an outer sheathing, forms a monolithic structural I-beam. The strength of the panel comes from displacing the load across the structure. How do we make Structural Insulated Panels? The skins are laminated to the EPS core with a two part industrial epoxy. Hydraulic presses are used to apply consistent pressure on the panels. SIPs displace 90% of the load across the structure.
