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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

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.
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!

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.
2. Discovery (Steps 1-5)
1. Build your team
Select the people who understand your system best to help
create a DR plan and execute when disaster strikes
2. Analyze what DR technology is already in place
You are probably already backing up, but what else?
3. Do a business impact analysis
what does downtime cost?
4. Prioritize operations
What needs recovering first
5. Set goals for recovery
How long should recovery take
3. Action Steps (6-10)
6. Identify and fill gaps in technology
Are any of your goals impossible with your current infrastructure
Implement
technology
or
processes
to
meet
recovery
goals
7. Design Recovery or Failover Environment
Alternate location facilities, hypervisor, bare-bones machines, etc
8. Design Response protocol
Design the actual steps taken to recover downed systems
Should employees BYOD? Use cell phones? Relax?
9. Document important information
Have at important information at the ready in your DR plan
10. Implement, Test, and Revise
Distribute the plan and make sure everyone know their duties
Test to make sure there are no holes in your plan, revise to make sure
your plan stays up to dates

7. Start by conducting a Business Impact Analysis
Availability requirements, such as maximum allowable systems
downtime, for an organization form the basis for risk
mitigation and recovery strategies, developed to drive a
higher level of business resiliency.
8. A BIA assesses the risks of various types of threats to determine
the potential direct and indirect impacts. These include:
• Financial
• Regulatory
• Operational
• Competitive
• Reputation

This
is
determined
by

• Recovery

(RLO)
– Recovering
from
a

You
should

for

of

a

for
various
systems.

15. Do
you

all
the
proper
technologies
in
place
to
successfully
recover?
Is
it
possible
to
recover
in
a
manner
that

There
are
a

and
services
you
can
use
to

recovery
objec=ves.
Example:
If
your
RPO
is
under
15
minutes,
you
must
be
performing
backups
every
15
minutes
16. Compare recovery goals with the DR technology you are currently utilizing.
Using your goals as a baseline, look at each of your business processes, and analyze
the feasibility of restarting the respective IT dependencies within the objective time.
17. • Daily onsite and remote backups
• Bare-metal backups
• Cloud based software (SaaS)
– Gmail, Salesforce , Office 365
• Redundant and replicated systems
• Virtualized networks, servers, and desktops
• Bare-bones machines
• VoIP phones
• Diverse network service provider
18. Where do you intend on recovering vital computing resources to?
What if your system would take to long to recover on itself?
What if you don’t have access to your facilities?
What if your facilities have been destroyed?
What if a server fails and it takes weeks to get a similar one?
What if you need to recover a single email or a single mailbox, but you only have
image based backups?

26. It is important to have a well documented response procedure for restoring mission
critical systems as efficiently as possible
Instructions for Failover
• Document where resources will failover to
• Document which resources will failover
• Document how to failover resources
• Document how to get users on new system
• Document how to reroute phone numbers
27. Instructions to rebuild/repair:
• Rebuild Network
• Remedy crashed servers
• Purchase correct replacement parts
• Include estimates of how long it will take to reboot system
• Instructions to handle work load in the interim
28. In the appendix of your DR plan you should include a repository of critical
Systems information.
• Make, model, and specifications of all hardware
• Diagram of network
• List of applications used by each and license keys
• Location of backups for each machine
• Admin handles and passwords
• Database owners
• Warranty information
• Vendor information
• IP addresses
• VPN information
• Setting and Configurations
• Special Instructions
29. Once you have constructed your DR plan you must distribute the plan
among employees and start work with your DR team.
Your DR plan will not be effective if nobody knows about it.
