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.
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.

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.

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).

1. Introduction
Construction material is any material which
is used for a construction purpose. Many
naturally occurring substances, such as clay,
sand, wood and rocks, even twigs and leaves
have been used to construct buildings. Apart
from naturally occurring materials, many
man-made products are in use, some more
and some less synthetic. The manufacture of
building materials is an established industry
in many countries and the use of these
materials is typically segmented into specific
specialty trades, such as carpentry,
plumbing, roofing and insulation work. This
reference deals with habitats and
structures including homes.

2.6.1.2.6.1. History of ceramicsHistory of ceramics
Ceramic is the oldest artificial material. In the begginning, ceramic was used for
onamentation and pottery. Much later came the mass production of “bricks” for
construction purposes. Bricks have the advantage of being cheap and durable, and
they require very little maintenance. They are the most common ceramic
products. Other ceramic products are tiles, such as roofing tiles, wall tiles, and
floor tiles. Wall and floor tiles are coated with porcelain which is much harder, it
gives a soft surface and this makes tiles easier to clean.
14. Construction materials
2.6.2.2.6.2. What isWhat is clayclay??
Ceramic is made from clay. Clay is a mass of
very small particles of rock, which is formed
by a long process of natural erosion from the
rock. Silicon is the most common mineral in
clay.
Clay is a natural material, but ceramic is
artificial.It's esy to confuse them but there
are different materials:
If we add water to dry clay, it becomes soft
again. Then we can dry it, and then becomes
hard again.
If we add water to ceramic, it stays hard.
15. Construction materials
There are three steps to manufacture ceramics:
·· Step 1-Moulding: The first step is to give the clay the
required shape. First we make a mold and we fill it with clay.
The mould then goes into a kiln on a conveyor belt.
●
·· Step 2-Drying: There are two kinds of water in
clay:absorbed water and chemically bound water (hydrogen and
oxygen which form part of the minerals). Drying the clay can be
done under the sun or with fans.
●
·· Step 3-Firing: In this step we remove all water that clay
have, so we need very high temperatures that we heat in a kiln
between 1000 ºC and 1600 ºC. The temperature and time
depend of the mineral that clay has, the size, the shape, and
the desired and strength. The cost of heating the kiln is
another factor. After firing, the tiny bits of rock are bonded
together. The colour of bricks depend of the type of clay and
the temperatures, and the moulds are re-used.
2.6.3. How we do manufacture ceramics?
17. Construction materials
2.7.1.2.7.1. WoodWood
Wood has been an important construction material
since humans began building shelters, houses and
boats. Nearly all boats were made out of wood until
the late 19th century, and wood remains in common
use today in boat construction.
New domestic housing in many parts of the world
today is commonly made from wood. Engineered wood
products are becoming a bigger part of the
construction industry. They may be used in both
residential and commercial buildings as structural and
aesthetic materials.
In buildings made of other materials, wood will still be
found as a supporting material, especially in roof
construction, in interior doors and their frames, and
as exterior cladding.
18. Construction materials
2.7.2.2.7.2. MetalMetal
Metal is used as structural framework
for larger buildings such as skyscrapers,
or as an external surface covering.
There are many types of metals used
for building.
Metal figures quite prominently in
prefabricated structures such as the
Quonset hut, and can be seen used in
most cosmopolitan cities. It requires a
great deal of human labor to produce
metal, especially in the large amounts
needed for the building industries.
19. Construction materials
2.7.3.2.7.3. GlassGlass
Clear windows have been used since the
invention of glass to cover small openings in a
building. They provided humans with the
ability to both let light into rooms while at
the same time keeping inclement weather
outside. Glass is generally made from
mixtures of sand and silicates, in a very hot
fire stove called a kiln and is very brittle.
The use of glass in architectural buildings
has become very popular in the modern
culture. Glass "curtain walls" can be used to
cover the entire facade of a building, or it
can be used to span over a wide roof
structure in a "space frame".

3.1.3.1. ElementsElements
Structure: is an element which supports its
own weight and the weight of the other
elements and transmits the weight to the
ground. Can be metallic or made of reinforced
concrete. It compose of foundation, pillars,
one or two-way slabs (the last slab is called
cover slab).
Building envelop: is an element which
surrounds the outside of a building. It's
compose of walls, that can be: wall of one
sheet (ceramic materials), wall of two
sheets(ceramic materials with plaster), or
screen wall (glass, prefabricated or natural
materials).
Partitions: is an element which separates the
different rooms of the inside of the building.
It's compose of walls of bricks,
prefabricated panels or glass.
Covering: is an element which covers the
building. It's compose of a complex set of
elements that make the same function:
waterproofing and heat insulator.
The last elements are the finishes and the
installations.
22. Construction materials
3.2.3.2. ProcessProcess
It has six phases:
Ground preparation: is preparated to the depth
needed to the cimentation.
Cimentation: is placed the armor and the
concreting later regardless of the type of
cimentation.
Start of the structure: is placed the armor in the
start of pillars and is build the slabs with the
same system until the last floor.
Building Envelop: is build a wall from down to up
with auxiliary structures. The covering can be
make before or after the building envelop
depending of the needs.
Partitions: is build a wall to separate the different
rooms of the building.
Installations and finishes: are the last parts of
the building:the finishes of the partitions, envelop
and floors. Installations are normally done in the
partition and envelop phases.
