I was asked by the US Commerce department to attend and present at a roundtable that took place in Sofia, Bulgaria on February 27th. This roundtable included people from president's office, National Healthcare Fund, Patient Groups and key vendors. Bulgaria had many efforts to kickstart eHealth. This was an overview of US legislation and lessons learned as well as a look forward into healthcare innovation trendds
This qualitative overview of the Open Health Data initiatives is meant to showcase the importance of open health data, social as well as economic impacts across US, UK and a select set of Western European countries. This overview is not meant to be a comprehensive report on all the global initiatives, funding models and tracking of open health data. There are tremendous efforts across the globe to change our global healthcare system and we believe that open health data is one of the keys to bridge the gap between digital citizens & governments. Also, please note that if your country, initiative or product was not mentioned, it is in no way meant to diminish the impact of the efforts.

How engineering has simplified our livesanna barton
After a long day at work you just feel like throwing your computer out of the window but even in that state you cannot deny the role that engineering has played in simplifying our lives. No doubt it has made our lives hectic with all the beeping and buzzing but it also helps us to lead a lifestyle which is a lot more comfortable than what our earlier generations have lived.

Taking an agile approach to the digital workplaceJames Robertson
The new digital workplace is emerging within organisations as a result of a wave of digital change. Agile development methodologies are also accelerating the pace of development. Together they are transforming the workplace. See what this looks like in this presentation by James Robertson at KMWorld 2015 in Washington DC.
Presentation to the BiiG Conference Queensland September 2013.
Showcasing three key Government 2.0 initiatives active in our State from the perspective of the gov2qld community of practice.
Highlighting how far we as a State have come in the last 5 years and comparing our initiatives with exemplar initiatives from elsewhere.
Proposing that the one aspect of Obamas decleration of Open Government which has recieved least attention - that of collaboration across the government ecosystem - actually has the potential to be the most valuable in addressing the pressing challenges of Government today - those of Citizen Centric Services; a focus on outcomes and performance and the linked challenges of efficiency and innovation.

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.
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.

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.
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.
