Job training in Virtual and Augmented Reality
Now more than ever businesses are thinking about new ways to train their employees. Virtual and Augmented Reality hold key benefits when it comes to training:
· VR makes high-risk environments safe learning spaces for employees.
· Immediate feedback can be given to employees
· VR enables one to interact with hard to reach situations (like oil rig hazards)
· AR can be helpful for situations that are on the job
· These technologies can shorten the onboarding process by 50%
· VR/AR makes learning a new skill fun and interactive
· It is suitable for many different learning styles

Govtech: is the Industry at an Inflection Point?
Follow me on Twitter @hongsuhyeon. Questions? christine.hong.govtech@gmail.com
The government technology (“govtech”) industry is an emerging ecosystem that has the potential to transform governments. The paper maps out the ecosystem and provide a quantitative understanding of its growth trajectory by answering the following four questions:
1. What is the definition of govtech?
2. What does the ecosystem look like?
3. How is the ecosystem changing?
4. What factors will accelerate market take-off?
In order to answer these questions, experts in the biggest govtech companies, the venture capital community, government and opinion leaders were interviewed. Moreover, the paper selected 98 of the most notable govtech companies in United States based on sources like Govtech.com’s Govtech 100 list, and tracked their private capital deal flows from 2004 to 2015. Details of the Deal Flow Database and the methodology are in the appendix.

How to Mitigate the threats of Climate Change
Blog – How to Mitigate the effects of Climate Change through sound Environmental Policies
I am supporter of climate change and the need for both the private and public sectors to address issues with climate change. The key focus on policies that better support both circular and green economy. Government should resist subsidizing business through either direct grants or loans. The policies should be based on capital costs allowance, innovation, and training/skills tax credits. The world also needs to start looking at CO2 absorption through a global standard. The global standard should be audited like ESG reporting.

How to Mitigate the threats of Climate Change
Blog – How to Mitigate the effects of Climate Change through sound Environmental Policies
I am supporter of climate change and the need for both the private and public sectors to address issues with climate change. The key focus on policies that better support both circular and green economy. Government should resist subsidizing business through either direct grants or loans. The policies should be based on capital costs allowance, innovation, and training/skills tax credits. The world also needs to start looking at CO2 absorption through a global standard. The global standard should be audited like ESG reporting.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
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.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
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.

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:
