Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
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.

API / ISO Adopt Back Process
• API and ISO Work Groups worked jointly to
develop this harmonized 5L / ISO 3183 standard
• The best requirements of both standards were
adopted
• First, a revised ISO 3183 was balloted and
published.
• API then adopted back the ISO 3183 standard
with a few national adoption requirements listed in
Annex N and Annex O
• Therefore, the API spec 5L consists of 3183 plus
(+) the requirements of Annex N and O
6. 1220 L Street, NW • Washington, DC 20005-4070 • www.api.org
Spec 5 L Format
Spec 5 L format includes:
1. API 5L cover and forward placed on top of the
ISO 3183 “Steel pipe for pipeline transportation
systems -2nd edition”
• ISO 3183 is the basis or body of the 5L standard.
2. Notations in the margins of the 3183 standard
showing where requirements in Annex N either
supplement or replace those in the body

Marking (API Spec Q1, Section 7.5.3)
API Spec 5L, Section 11 and Annexes N and O
• Very prescriptive including the pipe attributes that must
be marked on the pipe
– i.e., Standard, diameter, wall thickness, grade,
PSL, type of pipe (seamless or type of weld),
annexes, and manufacturer
• Provides specific examples on the marking sequence
– Both USC (US Customary) and SI units
• Allows dual marking of Spec 5L and ISO 3183 if
requirements of both specifications are met

Transition from API 5L, 43rd Ed to 44th Ed
API modified their policy and extended the 6 month
transition period to 12 months to allow manufacturers
to switch their QA and manufacturing processes to
the 44th edition requirements.
Published Date
October 1, 2007
Published Date
October 1, 2007
Effective Date
October 1, 2008
Effective Date
October 1, 2008
12 months12 months
Industry Recommendation:
OPS/DOT harmonize the October 1, 2008 effective
date with API for the 44th edition of 5L
54. 1220 L Street, NW • Washington, DC 20005-4070 • www.api.org
Reasons for Extension of 5L Effective Date
Manufacturer Issues
* Rewrite pipe tracking, marking and release computer systems;
* Specify/purchase/manufacture new gauges;
* Review/modify/purchase roll/die sets & marking systems; and
* Modify mechanical & hydro testing equipment & software, and
* Rewrite quality system documentation.
Operator Issues
* Backlog/in-process orders starting on 43rd finishing 44th edition;
* Mixed application of 43rd and 44th edition pipe; and
* Inventory availability of new edition during transition.
