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.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

• Why standards?
• SDOs

3. What are standards?
Inch is a standard of measurement
Money is a standard of exchange
Words are standards of communication
Traffic lights are safety standards
Octane numbers of gasoline are quality standards
"No more than 1% shrinkage" is a performance
standard
3
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
4. What are standards?, Cont.,
Published documents that establish specifications and procedures designed to maximize
the reliability of the materials, products, methods, and/or services people use every day
Address a range of issues, including but not limited to various protocols to help maximize
product functionality and compatibility, facilitate interoperability and support consumer
safety and public health
Form the fundamental building blocks for product development by establishing consistent
protocols that can be universally understood and adopted. This helps fuel compatibility
and interoperability and simplifies product development, and speeds time-to-market
Make it easier to understand and compare competing products. As standards are
globally adopted and applied in many markets, they also fuel international trade
It is only through the use of standards that the requirements of interconnectivity and
interoperability can be assured
Summary: standards fuel the development and implementation of technologies that
influence and transform the way we live, work and communicate. They make our lives
safer, easier, and better
4
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
5. History of standards
Standards are known to have existed as early as 7000 B.C. when cylindrical stones were used
as units of weight in Egypt
One of the first known attempts at standardization in the Western world occurred in
1120. King Henry I of England ordered that the ell, the ancient yard, should be the exact
length of his forearm, and that it should be used as the standard unit of length in his kingdom
History also notes that, in 1689, the Boston city fathers recognized the need for
standardization when they passed a law making it a civic crime to manufacture bricks in any
size other than 9x4x4. The city had just been destroyed by fire, and the city fathers decided
that standards would assure rebuilding in the most economic and fastest way possible
Probably the most significant standard ever developed in the United States, however, was the
railroads' standard track gage. This standard, now used in Great Britain, the U.S., Canada and
much of continental Europe, enables railroad rolling stock to cross the country.
5
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
6. Why do we need standards?
World without standards?
Products might not work as expected
They may be of inferior quality
incompatible with other equipment, in fact they may not
even connect with them, and in extreme cases; non-
standardized products may even be dangerous
Knowledge of standards help facilitate the transition from
classroom to professional practice by aligning educational
concepts with real-world applications
6
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
7. How is a Standard Created?
Most standards are developed by committees of volunteers, which
can include members of industry, government, and the public
These originations are known as Standards Development
Organization (SDO), which adheres to fair and equitable processes
that ensure the highest quality outputs and reinforce the market
relevance of standards
Goals of each SDO are essentially the same, each SDO applies its
own rules, processes, terminology to the standards development
process
7
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
8. Benefits of standards
• encourage economies of scale
• enable manufacturers to comply with legislation
• promote the interoperability of products and services
• facilitate the uptake of innovation in the marketplace
• encourage greater competition
• facilitate trade by diminishing trade barriers
• support environmental sustainability
• reflect the outcome of research and development
• promote common understanding
• enhance the safety of products
• quality
8
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
9. CSP related standards
Critical to the global interoperability of ICTs and whether we exchange
voice, video or data messages, standards enable global communications by
ensuring that countries‟ ICT networks and devices are speaking the same
language
International ICT standards avoid costly market battles over preferred
technologies, and for companies from emerging markets, they create a
level playing field which provides access to new markets
An essential aid to developing countries in building their infrastructure and
encouraging economic development, and through economies of scale, they
can reduce costs for all: manufacturers, operators and consumers

Central body for end-to-end broadband access and core network
architecture, testing and management specifications
Global consortium of approximately 200 leading industry players
including network service providers, network and customer premises
equipment, chipset companies, test equipment and laboratories,
regulatory bodies, educational institutions and consultants
Established in 1994, originally as the ADSL Forum and later the DSL
Forum, the Broadband Forum united with the IP/MPLS Forum to
broaden its focus over the entire networking infrastructure
16
(c) Anuradha Udunuwara
17. IP/MPLS Forum
Started initially as three distinct forums: the ATM Forum, the Frame Relay Forum and the MPLS Forum,
and grew out of the evolution of IP transport technology
Key development from this organization was the development of global standard implementation
agreements, industry-wide educational programs, and multi-vendor interoperability testing
In 2008, the IP/MPLS Forum was determined to follow technology convergence and looked to unite
with another organization that had a similar vision of the future and the activities required to continue
to drive the global success of MPLS. In that search, various organizations shared similar goals, scope
or membership but there was one that stood out as the strongest candidate - the Broadband Forum
In May 2009, the two Forums united, and are focused on driving the evolution to next generation IP
networks and empowering fixed mobile convergence evolution
With the Broadband Forum's focus spanning from broadband network to digital home management,
their work complements the work of the IP/MPLS Forum, which primarily addresses the core and
access aggregation
Expanding the Broadband Forum's objectives to encompass the next phase of IP/MPLS Forum work
will ensure seamless broadband network optimization and convergence for the industry
