In the USA, many schools are building their reform efforts on a foundation of professional learning communities that engage participants in honest examination and refinement of their daily practice.
This session will discuss the characteristics of effective teacher and principal learning communities. We will examine a variety of models of gathering data and insights that can inform changes in individual and school practices, transforming the teaching profession and accelerating student achievement.

Leadership, Intangibles & Talent Q2 2009 Four GroupsFour Groups
Reading through this quarter’s articles, there were plenty of pieces rehashing practical tips on how to deal with the recession. However, there are a number of interesting ideas and themes lurking beneath the surface. * Intangibles such as engagement, networking and collaboration are hot topics but managing these issues is easier said than done * New technologies have the potential to revolutionise the way we understand organisational behaviour, although the appetite for this information is as yet unclear * Line managers can play a pivotal role in developing engaged employees and this has implications for how organisations approach talent management * Firms are waking up to the importance of engagement, in these recessionary times, once costs have been stripped out, the need to do more with less is paramount * Knowledge is key to value creation but how we educate and train for working with this often intangible and unpredictable environment is unknown

A Business Interoperability Framework for Government by Christine StephensonCraig Martin
Despite the focus on eGovernment and the delivery of seamless services to citizens, Government continues to be challenged to deliver business interoperability goals. Interviews with Government Enterprise Architecture stakeholder and a search of the literature suggests why government has failed to achieve seamless service delivery. It appears that interoperability in government is largely a combination of bottom-up, standards or application design based approaches. These result in Information Systems solutions that achieve interoperability within the application and technology domains, but not the business domain. Consequently, the public sector operates as a fractured collection of departments, with much complexity and bureaucracy reducing the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery. The Business Interoperability Framework (BIF) draws from three disciplines of management practice and applies industry standards. These practice areas are; Enterprise Architecture; Service Oriented Architecture; and Business Process Management. The frameworks, standards/specifications that will be referenced are ISO/IEC 10746 (RM-ODP), TOGAF®, OASIS, UMM, BMM, BPMN and ISO 15000.
Key takeaways:
-- How to achieve top-down business interoperability outcomes
-- An architected framework for business success
-- Methods and tools that can be used to deliver business/IT alignment
Cloud-powered social and mobile tools can help break down traditional hierarchies and enable stakeholders inside and outside the organization to easily share business-critical insights. This report is an installment in our multi-part series that explores the shifts necessary for future-proofing your company.
The pressure is on, to drive growth and improve profitability by transforming how you do business. It means speeding great ideas from concept to reality so you can bring innovative products to market, faster. It means building high performance teams that
communicate and collaborate in profound new ways. And it means streamlining and enhancing your IT infrastructure to support new devices, technologies, processes and behaviors that drive value for your business. Done right, your organization can more successfully compete for customers, partners and employees and strengthen your leadership position in your market.

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.
JMeter webinar - integration with InfluxDB and GrafanaRTTS

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.
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.
