Transformation of Agricultural Innovation System, the Roleof the National Agricultural Research System (NARS): A Success Story from the Philippines by Marita A. Carlos, Richard E.

Most businesses nowadays have an IT department to manage the technical side of their organization, with activities ranging from network and system administration to software development, and security. So, what exactly are these systems and why is digital technology important for businesses? Let's take a look.Definition of digital technology
The definition of digital technology encompasses digital devices, systems, and resources that help create, store, and manage data. An important aspect of digital technology is information technology (IT) which refers to the use of computers to process data and information. Most businesses use digital technology nowadays to manage operations and processes and to enhance the customer journey.
Importance of digital technology
Consumer behavior is changing, from searching and sharing information to shopping for actual products. To adapt, companies must adopt digital technology to assist customers through their buying journey.
Many businesses have a website and social media accounts to inform and educate customers about their products and services. A lot of them also accompany their brick-and-mortar business model with an eCommerce store to offer customers a more flexible shopping experience. Some innovative enterprises even make use of advanced technology like virtual reality and augmented reality to attract and engage their target groups.
Companies also adopt digital technology to increase their profitability. Since one advantage of technology is limitless communication, companies can extend their reach beyond domestic boundaries and access millions of customers worldwide.
Finally, digital transformation is not just important but a requirement for all modern businesses, as the majority of firms automate their processes, firms who refuse to make the change will lag behind and lose their competitive advantage. On the other hand, there are various incentives for companies to digitize. For example, production will run faster since machines are replacing humans in repetitive tasks. So, the coordination of corporate data in one system Allows everyone to work together more seamlessly. Digital technology examples in business
Technology is widely used by businesses to manage internal processes and enhance customer experience.
Digital Technology: Enterprise resource planning
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the use of technology and software to manage the main processes of a business in real-time.
It is part of business management software that allows companies to collect, store, monitor, and analyze data from various corporate activities.
Benefits of ERP :
Coordinate data from different departments to help the managers make better and more informed decisions.
Create a central database for managers to check all the supply chain activities in one place.
Disadvantages of ERP:
Require a lot of time and resources to set up.
Require a large number of workers to undergo training.

Impact of Digital Technology on Livestock Farming by Adeshile, Adedeji RichardDeji Richard Adeshile
This project is submitted as end-of-course requirement (Digital Dividends: Strengthening the analog foundation of the digital revolution).
Key target audience are the Governments, development partners, private investors and the general public.
The message is that, ICT driven agric-economy is a win-win catalyst for commercial returns to Farmers and other Private investors as well as social returns to Governments.
Governments must act now to mitigate inherent threat to Food Security and humanity due to degenerating impacts of climate change and Community unrest. The threat also gives negative outlook on Governments efforts to making Agriculture a key alternative to non-oil revenue generation.
Agricultural Transformation Agenda in GTP II
Presented by Dereje Biruk (ATA) at the Ethiopia - CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) Country Collaboration and Site Integration Meeting, Addis Ababa, 11 December 2015
This year sees businesses continue to respond to the pandemic and adjust to the new EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, while at the same time addressing issues like climate change and digitalisation.
As such, Enterprise Ireland has identified the following strategic priorities for 2021:
• Strengthen Irish enterprise to respond to market shocks and disruption in response to COVID-19 and Brexit
• Drive transformational change and the pace of innovation transitioning to new business models, digitalisation and the low carbon economy
• Scale and Grow the export and start-up base, across regions and sectors and grow companies of all sizes.
Enhancing, nurturing and leveraging the research and innovation ecosystem is key to Enterprise Ireland achieving these objectives.
There are many ways Walton Institute and TSSG Technology Gateway aligns with Enterprise Ireland, and promotes Irish industry.

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.

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).

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.
