Blockchain has become a hot topic for enterprises, start-ups, entrepreneurs, and regulatory bodies. Born from bitcoin in 2008, blockchain's promise of a distributed ledger has far greater implications than cryptocurrency. Companies are now beginning to understand its disruptive potential and are experimenting with its most promising applications. But, few companies have asked the more fundamental question: Are we ready to adopt a shared public database for financial transactions? In this session, we cover the concepts of blockchain and use cases in the enterprise. We also demonstrate blockchain in use and show how to implement it using AWS services.

Blockchain: The Information Technology of the FutureMelanie Swan
The blockchain concept may be one of the most transformative ideas to impact the world since the Internet. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are merely one application of the blockchain concept. The blockchain is a public transaction ledger built in a decentralized network structure based on cryptographic principles so that any kind of trading, buying and selling of assets does not need to go through a centralized intermediary. Any kind of asset may be encoded into the blockchain and transacted, validated, or preserved in a much more efficient manner than at present including ideas, health data, financial assets, automobiles, and government documents. Venture Capitalists are calling the blockchain the next big investment wave.
Blockchain technology will make a shift of tectonic proportions in the Insurance and Financial Services Industry. It will change industry’s business model, reorganize relationships, revolutionize existing revenue channels and value creation models. The new eco-system based model will be created, with new principles of value creation, with reformatted customer engagement experiences and with value added business relationships. Industry operations will undergo dramatic change, shifting away from service and request fulfilling activities, to transaction management and orchestration of eco-system activities.

Introduction to Solidity and Smart Contract Development (9).pptxGene Leybzon
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that is changing the way we handle digital transactions. It is a technology that can be applied in many different fields, from logistics and supply chain management to real estate and voting systems.
In order to help our clients to plan and execute digital transformation, we need to understand foundational elements, including smart contracts and languages that are popular in developing smart contracts.
In this presentation, we share an overview of what a smart contract is and how it functions, look into the real-world examples of smart contracts, and tools that are used to develop smart contracts. We look into Solidity, a powerful programming language that enables developers to create complex and sophisticated smart contract applications on Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
There is no expectation of prior knowledge of blockchain technology or smart contracts development and we are expecting to have a lively and engaging session.
BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SMART CONTRACTS : A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING STUDY csandit
An appealing feature of blockchain technology is smart contracts. A smart contract is
executable code that runs on top of the blockchain to facilitate, execute and enforce an
agreement between untrusted parties without the involvement of a trusted third party. In this
paper, we conduct a systematic mapping study to collect all research that is relevant to smart
contracts from a technical perspective. The aim of doing so is to identify current research topics
and open challenges for future studies in smart contract research. We extract 24 papers from
different scientific databases. The results show that about two thirds of the papers focus on
identifying and tackling smart contract issues. Four key issues are identified, namely, codifying,
security, privacy and performance issues. The rest of the papers focuses on smart contract
applications or other smart contract related topics. Research gaps that need to be addressed in
future studies are provided.

Trust is the fundamental currency of Commerce”, hence the need for Smart Contracts in Digital Economy, welcome to Smart Contracts!!!
Smart Contracts are coded transaction protocols that execute the terms of an agreement (contract) when the terms of the contract called Consensus are met
They run on the blockchain, they are stored on Public database/s (Public Blockchain) and cannot be changed when deployed (Highly Immutable). They are self-enforceable, self-executing, legally binding (Code Law) digital representation of a traditional contract, designed to facilitate, transactions between parties.
Smart Contracts are the Building Blocks for Decentralized and Digital Free Markets and Economy.
Oracles are the interface, suites or gateways used to get (Request or Receive) External Data (off-chain data) by the smart contracts. Oracles are an important component of the smart contract ecosystem.

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.

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.
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.

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.
