Ancient Greece was a civilization between 800BCE and 146BCE located in what is now Europe. While the civilization ended thousands of years ago, it left many legacies still important today including the alphabet and Olympics. Education was important in ancient Greece though the content and accessibility differed between Athens, Sparta, and between boys and girls. Agriculture was challenging due to poor soil and climate but they grew olives, grapes, and wheat to eat along with fish and cheese. Society was highly stratified with democratic rule in Athens but only for adult men, and women and children had subordinate roles.
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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"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.

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
2. The civilization of ancient Greece could be found in the time between
800BCE and146 BCE. It was a group of islands surrounded by the
Mediterranean Sea, in the area where Europe is now. Even though the
civilization ended thousands of years ago, it is still interesting to learn
about its education, food, agriculture, structure of society and many
legacies.
3. Education
Education was very important in ancient Greece. Children in
Athens were educated to fill the adult’s role in society. Boys
were allowed to go school but girls were not. Instead, girls
were taught how to dance and play music by their mothers.
Boys started school at the age of 6. They were taught how
to read and write, and they studied science, math,
geography and history. They wrote on wax boards with a
piece of wood or bone. The boys were taught by tutors, who
were usually slaves. In Sparta, boys had a different kind of
education. Boys there learned how to be soldiers. Spartan
girls learned how to be fit and strong, too. Therefore, in both
Sparta and Athens, the ancient Greeks believed it was
important to educate their children.
4. Food & Agriculture
In ancient Greece, food was an important part of life for both
rich and poor people. About one fifth of the land was used for
farming. They ate olives and grapes as they were easy to
grow on the land. They also ate cheese made from goat’s
milk and bread made from wheat. However, the soil was poor
and rocky so it was difficult to grow enough grass for many
animals to eat. They had a wet winter followed by a hot, dry
summer which also meant few crops could grow. The rich
people bought food in the market and the poor people ate
what they grew. For breakfast, everyone ate bread dipped in
wine. The most common foods the Greeks ate were fish,
bread, olives, grapes, cheese, vegetables and fruits. As you
can see, the land in ancient Greece had a big impact of the
types of foods that were eaten.
5. Structure of Society
In ancient Greece society was structured very differently from
today. In Athens, they had the system of democracy but only men
could vote and only when they were over the age of twenty. They
would gather together in an assembly to debate ideas and vote on
decisions for the civilizations. Also, men were the only ones who
could become actors and believe it or not, men did all the
shopping, too. Rich men went to parties with other wealthy and
important men. Young boys were also more important than girls in
ancient Greece. Girls married at a young age. They were ruled by
their fathers and once they got married they were ruled by their
husbands. Girls stayed home and took good care of their children
while their husbands went out in public. Therefore, it seems that
the ancient Greek men and women had different roles in society
than we have today.
6. Legacies
Ancient Greece has many legacies, two of which are the alphabet
and the Olympics. Historians are unsure exactly when the Olympics
started, but they guess it was about 800 BCE. The Olympics were
held in honor of Zeus. They included a Marathon race, throwing,
wrestling, running, and the javelin. The Olympic games were stopped
by the emperor Theodosius and started again in 1896. We still hold
modern Olympics every four years with many of the same events.
Around 489 BCE, the alphabet first began, which means it is over
2500 years old. The Greeks were the first to have the alphabet with
vowels. They used their alphabet to write legends and myths and
keep reports of meetings. Homer used the alphabet to write Iliad and
the Odyssey, which are famous poems even today. Our alphabet is
very similar to the ancient Greeks and many of our words have the
same parts. Therefore, the alphabet and the Olympics are two great
legacies that are very important to us today.
7. In conclusion, you now know about ancient Greece and it great legacies. This report
has described Greek food, agriculture and the structure of society. It is very important
to know that our language and lots of traditions that we have today came from ancient
Greece.
