The CEPIS Green ICT Task Force conducted a survey to assess how organizations implement energy efficient methods. Preliminary results from over 300 responses show that over a third of organizations do not implement green IT practices, primarily due to a lack of legislation. Respondents indicate efforts to dispose of and recycle old equipment and supplies. Most printers are connected to networks and shared. However, three quarters of organizations do not have an energy manager. The survey aims to gain a pan-European perspective on green IT awareness.

EPIC - European Photonics Industry Consortium, annual report highlighting major achievements for 2013. FOREWORD of the PRESIDENT: The past year has been a year of great achievements for EPIC. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary and could not have done it in a better way than by excelling in every activity area we embarked upon. I would like to take this opportunity to commend EPIC on its achievements in being the voice of the industry, reaching out to both the industry and policy makers, continuing its work on EU funded projects and of course on the publications and industry events that the Association has organised. In addition, the year has been marked by a major growth in membership of the Association, allowing us to deliver even stronger benefits to a wider audience. I hope that once you have had a chance to glance through this outline of the work carried out by EPIC in the past year that you join me in recognising that our sector is being powerfully represented by your Industry Association at both a European and a Global level. INTRODUCTION of the DIRECTOR GENERAL:
As EPIC celebrated its 10th anniversary it was encouraging to see that our industry combines ingenuity and creativity to further technology advancement and creates applications that are addressing our world’s most critical societal challenges. EPIC’s 148 member build on the richness and diversity of the industry; through fostering openness to explore collaboration opportunities. At the various EPIC events it is evident that a strong interlink and partnership among the companies exists. The collaboration that can been seen takes a great many forms: you collaborate on EU funded project proposals, you provide input in the development of market reports, you take part in commercial trade missions- all in all you make our industry a lively and very active community! EPIC is an ever-growing community representing the Photonics sector in all its variations and it was pleasing to review not only the work that was done by our Association so that we can present this report to you but also to see that our sector’s importance is recognised in many countries around the world e.g. France’s President François Hollande visited the laser manufacturer Amplitude Systèmes and in the UK Business Secretary Vince Cable visited Rofin-Sinar and SPI. Enjoy this snapshot of the activities of EPIC in 2013.

This publication describes some of the research highlights achieved in the focus areas of the Open Smart Spaces spearhead programme 2009–2012: interoperability, smartness, and natural interaction.
Interoperability between devices, software and other resources is essential for the emergence of smart spaces. The different levels of interoperability are discussed together with the importance of a common language for the devices. Semantic interoperability in resource limited devices is also elaborated and an implementation example is given. Context recognition has taken significant technical steps and matured from laboratory to real world applications during last couple of years. This development from recognising user’s physical activity – sitting, walking, running – to more elaborate life pattern analysis is discussed. Development of VTT Node, a wireless sensing and processing device bringing distributed intelligence into industrial condition monitoring is explained. An overview of how existing near field communication antennas and circuits can double for the purpose of wireless charging is given. Finally, the interesting possibilities given by augmented and mixed reality and 3D cameras are introduced.

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.
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!
