In a bid to reverse the trend of forest/watershed degradation, the Neo Synthesis Research Centre began a series of experiments in 1982 in a technology called analog forestry. What is significant was that the establishment of over 60% shade in the analog forest in Mirahawatte and the increase in leaf litter has led to a greater accumulation of surface water. This has led to a dramatic return of perennial water flows in the streams found on the land.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.

2. Fosie is subjected to flooding. Increasing amount of water is becoming a common
problem for the people operating in Fosie. The subject of flooding is also targeted by
the city of Malmø, incorporated in superior plans concerning the handling of water for
the whole city.
Excess waterlevels are thought to be related to environmental changes of which Fosie
has lacking adapting capacity to comprehend. Attributes and spatial identifications of
the area should be approached to increase the adapting capacity for water.

6. The water collection area of Risebergabäcken in Fo-
sie is 330 hectars (outlined in blue).
According to Malmö city Risebergabäcken has a
capacity of 1,5 litres of water per hectar per minute.
However, in wet periods the stream reveives over 15
litres per hectar per minute, more than 10 times the
estimated capcity!
As a consequence Risebergabäcken can reveive
4500 litres more than its capacity every minute when
very wet. Or 270 000 litres every hour.

7. The fragmented picture of Fosie/Fredriksberg shows that there is a variety of qualities within the area.
Looking to Inaki Abalos and his frase “I prefer not to”;
how can Fosie be transformed to a “waterresistant” location without loosing its identity?
Is it possible to maintain roads, give companies leverage to continue and simultaneously convert the area to
a well functioning water retention spot?
- keep exhisting wood/trees can be kept as they retain water and slows evaporation
- change parking lots can get permeable surfaces that soaks up water
- change exhisting bulidings can be converted to “green roof” buildings
- add farmland and left over spaces are suitable for introducing water retention ponds, permaculture
farming and human activity

17. The flooding as well as the suggested architectural steps,
effects landowners, puplic management, businesses, the prison,
kindergartens and schools as well as individuals. Through the
involment of the above mentioned, incorporating biological,
social, economic, technical and cultural systems, new structures
can emerge pinpointing possibilities waiting to be explored.
New communication channels can apear.
Approaching Fosie as a mosaic structure while processing
spatial interventions, new ways of understanding can be
discovered. As such the development of waterways establishes
new meeting points. Directly - by making space accessible,
secondly by inviting the community to participate rather than
have the roll of a passive audience. A demanding process - no
doubt, as it involves many different sectors and individuals with
different goals and focus points. It’s a challenge - daring the
planners, architects and the users of Fosie to step out of their
own enclosed hierarchies to be active participants in the search
to prevent flooding. Through flexibility and evolving strategies,
spatial interventions can provide participation and approaches
nor yet identified. It is an approach to meet the demands of
environmental changes with solutions and consciences beyond
water management alone.
