"Building with Gradle" by Laurynas Tretjakovas.
A short introduction to Gradle. How to start using Gradle for Java projects and how does it compare to Maven and Ant.
Gradle is an open source build automation system that builds upon the concepts of Apache Ant and Apache Maven and introduces a Groovy-based domain-specific language (DSL) instead of the XML form used by Apache Maven for declaring the project configuration.
Here are slides from basic training for Gradle.
This training is aimed to help Java Developers to get hands-on experience to use Gradle as a primary build tool for Java source code starting from simple compilation continuing with different kinds of tests and finishing with code quality analysis and artefacts publishing.

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.

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.

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:

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

2. Why Gradle?
• Ant makes you reinvent the wheel every time;
• Ant build scripts can get hard to maintain very quickly;
• Maven does not care about your project, you must make sure that your project
works well with Maven – it enforces convention;
• You must do everything “The Maven Way” or implement custom plugins;
• Gradle combines the power and flexibility of Ant with dependency management
of Ivy and conventions of Maven;
• Gradle is a programming build tool with DSL based on Groovy.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 2
3. Features
• Build Java, Android, Scala, Groovy, c++ and others;
• Dependency management;
• Incremental builds;
• Task exclusion;
• Supports plugins;
• Multi-project builds;
• Hook into any build step;
• Camel case invocation – helloWorld task can be called by doing gradle hW;
• Gradle wrapper;
• HTML test reporting;
• Ant integration.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 3
4. Hello World
• Gradle has two phases – configuration and execution;
• Run each task and see what gets printed out
• How would you do that with Maven?
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 4
5. Tasks
• Gradle has task types for most common operations;
• You can specify inputs and outputs for a task. If those haven‘t changed since last
execution, it won‘t be executed again;
• You can create your own task types by extending DefaultTask.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 5
6. Task Dependencies
• shouldRunAfter is used for task ordering, not for dependencies. For example, it
can be used for running unit tests before integration tests. This may be ignored
during parallel task execution;
• mustRunAfter will never be ignored, use this for strong ordering;
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 6
8. Java Plugin Tasks
• compileJava - compiles production Java source files using javac;
• processResources - copies production resources into the production classes
directory;
• classes - assembles the production classes directory;
• compileTestJava - compiles test Java source files using javac;
• processTestResources - Copies test resources into the test classes directory;
• testClasses - Assembles the test classes directory;
• jar - Assembles the jar file;
• javadoc - Generates API documentation for the production Java source, using
Javadoc;
• test - Runs the unit tests using JUnit or TestNG.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 8
9. Lifecycle Tasks
• assemble - Assembles all the archives in the project;
• check - Performs all verification tasks in the project;
• build - Performs a full build of the project (check and assemble);
• buildNeeded - Performs a full build of the project and all projects it depends on;
• buildDependents - Performs a full build of the project and all projects which
depend on it.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 9
12. Test Reporting
• Tests have XML and HTML reporting by default;
• If you have multiple test tasks, you will need a separate reporting task;
• HTML reporting includes execution time, stdout and stderr outputs.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 12
13. The Gradle Wrapper
• Gradle wrapper allows developers to use gradle, without even downloading it
manually;
• Every developer will be using the same version for building and CI server won‘t
need additional configuration;
• Run wrapper task once, it will create gradle executables which you will commit
into source control;
• You can specify the version or full url.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 13
14. Init Scripts
• Init scripts can be run each time before task execution;
• You can pass init scripts with -I flag or include .gradle files in
GRADLE_HOME/init.d/ directory;
• This can be useful for enterprise policies and repositories.
Kaunas Java User Group, 2014 14
15. Roadmap
• Incremental Java compilation;
• Persistable and much faster configuration;
• Improved parallel execution;
• Global cache;
• Dependency variants;
• Watcher mode;
