Data, Technology, and Innovation: Platform for ChangeCisco Canada
The topic is “change”. Many things around us cause organizations to rethink how they work and provide the best possible resources for their workforce. Globalization, economy, environment, and talent mismatch are merely a few influence factors that are changing today’s workplace. Among the greatest catalysts of change we witness the rise and expansion of the Internet and the information society. The Internet is only 20 years old and has had—and will be having—a profound impact on everything we do. Work, workplace, and businesses are affected by the transformational changes caused by networks, information technology, and the Internet. This presentation addresses the technology changes and their consequent impact on work and workplaces. It talks about how the Internet can have a positive influence on change and the organizations of the future.

High Performance Object Storage in 30 Minutes with Supermicro and MinIORebekah Rodriguez
The Supermicro Cloud DC is the perfect combination of performance, reliability, craftsmanship and flexibility for deploying MinIO object storage. MinIO on the Cloud DC platform outperforms and is more cost-effective than equivalently-sized hardware from other manufacturers. We recently benchmarked a cluster of four Cloud DC servers with NVMe drives and measured an impressive 42.57 GB/s average read (GET) throughput and 24.69 GB/s average write (PUT) throughput. This first class performance demonstrates that MinIO on Supermicro Cloud DC is a compelling solution for object storage intensive workloads such as advanced analytics, AI/ML and other modern, cloud-native applications.
In this webinar, you will learn:
Best use cases and deployment considerations for MinIO object storage
How to design and size a MinIO object storage cluster on Supermicro Cloud DC
How to deploy a distributed MinIO cluster onto a Cloud DC server cluster

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!
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
