In response to recent financial scandals (e.g. those involving Enron, Fortis, Parmalat), new regulations for protecting the society from financial and operational risks of the companies have been introduced. Therefore, companies are required to assure compliance of their operations with those new regulations as well as those already in place. Regulations are only one example of compliance sources modern organizations deal with every day. Other sources of compliance include licenses of business partners and other contracts, internal policies, and international standards. The diversity of compliance sources introduces the problem of compliance governance in an organization. In this paper, we propose an integrated solution for runtime compliance governance in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). We show how the proposed solution supports the whole cycle of compliance management: from modeling compliance requirements in domain-specific languages through monitoring them during process execution to displaying information about the current state of compliance in dashboards. We focus on the runtime part of the proposed solution and describe it in detail. We apply the developed framework in a real case study coming from EU FP7 project COMPAS, and this case study is used through the paper to illustrate our solution.

Publishing conference proceedings internationally: how does it workAliaksandr Birukou
In this presentation we look into main elements one has to consider when organizing an international conference. First, we describe the role of conference proceedings in CS and beyond. Second, we focus on the tasks of conference organizers. Third, we cover the peer review aspects and announce the new group CrossRef and DataCite start with this respect. We then cover indexing and dissemination as well as present several tips and guidelines for organizers of international conferences as well as the word of warning regarding predatory publishers.
В этой презентации мы рассмотрим основные элементы, которые необходимо учитывать при организации международной конференции. Во-первых, мы описываем роль материалов конференций в компьютерных науках и других областях. Во-вторых, мы концентрируемся на задачах организаторов конференции. В-третьих, мы рассмотрим аспекты рецензирования и расскажем о работе группы CrossRef и DataCite. Затем мы расскажем об индексировании и распространении, а также представим несколько советов и рекомендаций для организаторов международных конференций, а также предостережём о феномене хищнических издателей и конференций.
Технические аспекты публикации на нескольких языках – как правильно связать DOIAliaksandr Birukou
Доклад призван оспорить утверждение "объединить же ссылки на версии одной и той же статьи в журналах разных издательств не представляется возможным (DOI пока эту задачу не решает)".
Мы рассмотрим проблему публикации на нескольких языках. После рассмотрения этических аспектов (исключение дублирования публикаций, проверки заимствований на разных языках Диссернетом) и влияния многоязычных публикаций на наукометрические показатели, мы перейдем к существующим примерам. Текущие практики включают в себя а) использование одного DOI одним издателем, б) использование разных DOI одним издателем, в) использование разных DOI разными издателями (в журналах РАН и в независимых журналах). Мы рассмотрим существующие решения для связи публикаций на нескольких языках, такие как Math-Net.Ru и проанализируем плюсы и минусы различных решений.
После этого, мы предложим решение связывания DOI различных версий статьи с помощью нового механизма Crossref и рассмотрим как этот механизм используется международными и российскими журналами. Мы надеемся, массовый переход журналов на использование этого механизма не только исключит этические проблемы, но и поможет международным наукометрическим базам организовать правильный подсчет цитат.
Conference Identity: persistent identifiers for conferencesAliaksandr Birukou
Conferences are an essential part of scholarly communication. However, like researchers and organizations they suffer from the disambiguation problem, when the same acronym or the conference name refers to very different conferences. In 2017, Crossref and DataCite started a working group on conference and project identifiers. The group includes various publishers, A&I service providers, and other interested stakeholders. The group participants have drafted the metadata specification and gathered the feedback from the community.
In this talk, we would like to update the VIVO participants with where we stand with the PIDs for conferences, conference series and Crossmark for proceedings and are inviting the broader community to comment.

Publishing conference proceedings internationally: Tips and tricksAliaksandr Birukou
In this presentation we look into main elements one has to consider when organizing an international conference. First, we describe the role of conference proceedings in CS and beyond. Second, we focus on the tasks of conference organizers. Third, we cover the peer review aspects and announce the new group CrossRef and DataCite start with this respect. We then cover indexing and dissemination, including Springer Nature Linked Open Data portal, http://lod.springer.com. We finalize the presentation with several tips and guidelines for organizers of international conferences as well as the word of warning regarding predatory publishers.
Linked Open Data about Springer Nature conferences. The story so farAliaksandr Birukou
Despite many efforts for making data about scholarly publications available on the Web of Data, lots of information about academic conferences is still contained in (at best) free-text format. When available in a structured format, these data would provide an essential input for the decisions researchers, libraries, publishers, funding and evaluation bodies take every day.
This talk will describe the project about having such data available as Linked Open Data (LOD) at lod.springer.com for around 10,000 computer science conferences. In addition, we will have a closer look at the lessons learnt from launching this portal and cover other Linked Data projects in Springer Nature. Finally, a novel semi-automated approach for classifying conference proceedings in Springer Nature will also be presented.
Creating a dataset of peer review in computer science conferences published b...Aliaksandr Birukou
Computer science (CS) as a field is characterised by higher publication numbers and prestige of conference proceedings as opposed to scholarly journal articles. In this presentation we present preliminary results of the extraction and analysis of peer review information from computer science conferences published by Springer in almost 10,000 proceedings volumes. The results will be uploaded to lod.springer.com, with the purpose of creation of the largest dataset of peer review processes in CS conferences.
This presentation describes linked open data pilot run in Springer. During the pilot the data about conferences in computer science will be made publicly available as Linked Open Data (LOD)

Is peer review any good? A quantitative analysis of peer reviewAliaksandr Birukou
This is a presentation of the paper in which we focus on the analysis of peer reviews and reviewers behavior in conference review processes. We report on the development, definition and rationale of a theoretical model for peer review processes to support the identification of appropriate metrics to assess the processes main properties. We then apply the proposed model and analysis framework to data sets about reviews of conference papers. We discuss in details results, implications and their eventual use toward improving the analyzed peer review processes.

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.

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).

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

The case study we consider deals with telecommunication domain[CLICK] There is a Virtual Mobile Network Operator which uses network of other operators to provide additional services[CLICK] It combines video and audio from different content providers and streams sport content to its customers over the internet This case study focuses on particularly challenging evnironment, since network infrastructure and many applications that provide service components are owned and managed by different interprises, including third party application providers, network carriers and the MVNO company. The business of the MVNO company must run in accordance with different regulations.[CLICK] And it also must adhere contracts with audio and video providers and contracts of their customers. So, it faces the problem of ensuring the compliance with all those regulations. If they do not comply they can be sued by the companies, loose customers, or loose a lot of money in fines because of not following legislation. Now we will show how our approach allows the company to deal with those concerns in a systematic manner.
selecting the sources to be compliant with and designing corresponding compliance requirements; (2) (re-)designing business processes compliant with the selected requirements; (3) monitoring compliance of processes during their execution; (4) informing interested parties (managers, auditors) on the current state of compliance; (5) taking specific actions or chang- ing the processes in cases of (predicted or happened) non-compliance.
