Technische Universität München November 2014 Neil Marshall
Presentation given to a wide audience of professionals at the Technische Universität München detailing the transition from 2D to 3D to BIM in November 2014.
The route taken and how we adopted this into our daily workflow including our upgrade path. Also discussed are the immediate benefits to the process for Architects Contractors and ultimately Client. It covers some of the pitfalls encountered and passes on lessons learnt during the process to inform the wider professional team.
The presentation also looks at a completed projects utilising the workflow discussing how 3D / BIM obtained faster sign offs and client buy in at conceptual phase and off site manufacture.
Following the completion of BIM modeling for every service, Quality Assurance (QA) is performed to ensure that any mistakes have been fixed. BIM QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) is the process of determining whether or not a BIM model meets a set of predefined BIM standards.
We hope that our simplified BIM QA/QC checklist will help you improve the quality assurance and quality control of your BIM projects. https://www.tejjy.com/our-services/bim-services/

Automated Rule Checking for in-house BIM Norms of Building Models by v.r.d.ay...Vinoth Charles
In recent years the Architectural, Engineering & construction (AEC) industry relies on different automated tools to check and validate the building design. However most of the tools are lack in interoperability, extendibility and logical compilation checks. Moreover these tools are programmed with high level programming languages. By avoiding these limitations an automated tool is beneficial for the rule checking process. Semantic web technology and Linked data approaches help to fulfill the above aim. This graduation project focuses on developing, an automated rule checker based on a Linked Data approach for in-house BIM norms. The architectural design and construction data are converted into common data format know as Resource Description Framework (RDF). The rules form the in-house BIM norm is formalized using the SPARQL query language. The results of this automated rule checking process are visualized in three dimensional view using Python libraries and modules know IfcOpenShell and python OpenCasCade. Once this in-house rule checker is developed, the end user can check multiple of design and 3D visualization of results helps for effective communication among the stakeholders involved in the construction project. It addition this it reduces the cost on investing in a commercial rule checking tools.

Barriers and issues with the creation of calibrated modelsDaniel Coakley
Presented at IES Seminar - 'Operational Energy Management of the Built Environment' at Guinness Storehouse on 18th November 2015.
Whole building energy simulation (BES) models play a significant role in the design and optimisation of buildings. Simulation models may be used to compare the cost-effectiveness of energy-conservation measures (ECMs) in the design stage as well as assessing various performance optimisation measures during the operational stage. However, due to the complexity of the built environment and prevalence of large numbers of independent interacting variables, it is difficult to achieve an accurate representation of real-world building operation. Therefore, by reconciling model outputs with measured data, we can achieve more accurate and reliable results. This reconciliation of model outputs with measured data is known as calibration.

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.

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.
