Constellium 2013 business performance reportConstellium
By focusing on three growth markets – automotive, aerospace and packaging – Constellium is well-positioned for the years ahead. Along with their significant revenue potential, each of these markets also has a high technological barrier to entry. The financial performance in 2013 of our three business units reflects that future potential, thanks to the world-class quality of our industrial platform and the expertise of our employees.
Looking ahead, improving our operational efficiency and further developing our innovation pipeline are key parts of the company’s strategy. R&D and innovation are core Constellium strengths, and the ability to create differentiating new products is vital in a competitive market. Solid corporate governance and an unwavering commitment to safety will also be guiding principles for Constellium in a business environment where continuous improvement and sustainability come together. Together, these elements are delivering a level of business performance that allows Constellium to look to the future with confidence.
Det strategiska innovationsprogrammet för svensk gruv- och metallproducerande industri (SIP STRIM; www.sipstrim.se) finansieras av Vinnova och de ledande svenska gruvbolagen, global leverantörsindustri med nordisk bas, universitet, forskningsinstitut, myndigheter och intresseorganisationer. Programmet löper under 2013-2016, men har
som ambition att fortsätta även efter 2016. Genom innovationsprojekt adresseras globala utmaningar samtidigt som projekten bidrar till en hållbar utveckling, förnyelse och stärkt svensk konkurrenskraft inom programområdet.
Insatser sker inom fyra huvudområden:
- · Teknisk innovation
- · Kunskapsspridning
- · Kompetensutveckling
- · Uppväxling med nationell, nordisk och EU-finansiering
Insatser skall genomföras längs hela värdekedjan prospektering–gruvdrift–mineralteknik–metallurgi–återvinning. Även
horisontella, överbryggande insatser såsom mineralekonomi, resurskaraktärisering, automation och processkontroll, miljö och attraktiva arbetsplatser bör adresseras. Förutom fullskaliga innovationsprojekt och förstudier omfattar programmet en
rad aktiviteter för att stödja uppbyggnad av nätverk med ambitionen stödja också SMF-deltagande i programmet.

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.

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.

Slack (or Teams) Automation for Bonterra Impact Management (fka Social Soluti...Jeffrey Haguewood
Sidekick Solutions uses Bonterra Impact Management (fka Social Solutions Apricot) and automation solutions to integrate data for business workflows.
We believe integration and automation are essential to user experience and the promise of efficient work through technology. Automation is the critical ingredient to realizing that full vision. We develop integration products and services for Bonterra Case Management software to support the deployment of automations for a variety of use cases.
This video focuses on the notifications, alerts, and approval requests using Slack for Bonterra Impact Management. The solutions covered in this webinar can also be deployed for Microsoft Teams.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
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.
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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
