“Change is the Law of Nature”.Climate Change is a reality. It has changed in Past, is changing in Present and will change in Future. The variation and shifts in weather conditions over space and time of different scales and magnitude resulting into
changes of Climatic Type is defined as Climate Change.
The factor that affect climate are,Continental drift,Variation in the earth’s orbit,Plate tectonics,Volcanic activity,Ocean currents,Greenhouse Gases,Atmospheric Aerosols etc. It effect climate in different ways such as Higher Temperatures,Changing Landscapes,Wildlife/Ecosystem at Risk,Ocean acidification /Rising Seas level,Increased Risk of Drought, Fire and Floods,Intensified Storms and Increased Storm Damages,Illness and Disease,Economic Losses,Agriculture Productivity/Food Security etc.
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!

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.
5. Tectonic Plates & Their Movement Earthquakes, volcanoes, and other geologic events are concentrated where plates separate, collide, or slide past one another. Where they separate, rifting produces very low land elevations or the emergence of new crust on the ocean floor.
22. Ice Cap Biome British Columbia, Canada The ice cap biome is devoid of vegetation, except in very few spots where enough ice or snow melts in the summer to allow tundra vegetation to grow.
23. Tundra Northern Norway Tundra vegetation is composed of mosses, lichens, shrubs, dwarfed trees, and some grasses.
24. Coniferous Forest British Columbia, Canada Needleleaf evergreen coniferous trees can stand long periods when the ground is frozen, depriving them of moisture. Coniferous forests occupy large areas of subarctic climate.
25. Desert Shrub Sinai Peninsula, Egypt Desert shrub vegetation is often found only in dry riverbeds in arid climates.
26. Steppe Eastern Turkey The steppe biome is composed mainly of short grasses and is also referred to as temperate grassland.
27. Tropical Rain Forest Dominica, West Indies The tropical rain forest climate is rainy and occurs at low latitudes. Heat and moisture are almost always present in the biome.
28. Tropical Deciduous Forest Western India The tropical deciduous forest is found in tropical areas with a dry season that still has enough moisture for tree growth. Note the Asiatic lions in the photo.
29. Scrub and Thorn Forest Northern Zimbabwe The tropical deciduous forest thins out to low, sparse scrub and thorn forest in drier areas.
30. Savanna Southern Kenya Savanna vegetation, which has taller grasses than the steppe, occurs in areas of greater overall rainfall and more pronounced wet and dry seasons.
31. Mediterranean Scrub Forest Southern California, USA The Mediterranean climate is characterized by rainless summers contrasted with cyclonic or orographic precipitation in the winter.
32. Temperate Mixed Forest Southern Missouri, USA The mixed forest is a transitional area where both needleleaf and broadleaf trees are present and compete with each other.
33. Undifferentiated Highland Vegetation San Juan Mountains, Colorado, USA Undifferentiated highland climates have a range of conditions based on elevation and exposure to wind and sun. The numerous biomes are impossible to map on a small scale.
