The renewable energy sector is one of the world’s
fastest growing areas of economic activity. Global
investment in renewable energy has grown six-fold from
2004 to 2015, reaching one-third of a trillion dollars.
The Victorian government recognises this and has put in play mechanisms to harness this market reality.

While UK met its 2020 interim target, there is some doubt regarding whether it will meet the overall 2020 target of 15% of energy consumption from renewables. For the time being it seems that the UK will have to make arrangements to count renewable energy produced and used in other member states to achieve its targets. Additionally, recent government decision to remove preliminary accreditation from the Feed-in-tariff, rejection of several renewable projects and Austrian legal action against development of the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant will have an effect on the countries energy future.

Supporting CCS deployment – an update from the UK Department of Energy and Cl...Global CCS Institute
2015 has been hailed as a ‘watershed year’ for carbon capture and storage (CCS). Large-scale CCS power projects are now a reality and there’s a growing international recognition of the critical role the technology has to play in climate change mitigation.
The UK has been an important and influential advocate for the technology on the world stage. With two large-scale CCS projects currently working towards a final investment decision, a small pipeline of future projects including a possible industrial CCS hub on the horizon, the UK remains one of the most active countries for CCS development in Europe.
At the heart of the UK CCS story, is a world-leading policy and regulatory approach to establish a holistic framework for CCS commercialisation, moving beyond large-scale demonstration of the technology.
To discuss the UK’s approach to CCS policy and regulation and to give an update on the UK Commercialisation Programme and Research and Innovation results, we were delighted to have Amy Clemitshaw, Deputy Director of the Office of Carbon Capture and Storage, within the UK Government’s Department of Energy and Climate Change, to present the UK CCS story.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

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.

Editor's Notes
.
But we have perhaps underestimated the wider picture. Not just electricity, but heat, transport, farming, forests and peatland. We have put exhaustive effort into the right hand list – how to green up the supply of electricity. Still more to do on Renewable Heat But key challenge on the left hand side - changing the behaviour of consumers and businesses But the scale of ambition here is one that demands a much stronger focus on behavioural change than has traditionally been the case on issues of public policy We’ve followed the six Es as our guidance here – and fully aware of the latest work led by the Institute of Government / Cabinet office. We are only at the start of our task to embed this new thinking in our approach, but we would like Scotland to be a prominent player (and not just in the field of climate change). And we have something new to offer – ask Rebekah to tell you more about that But finally:

And we now have a sense that we have wont he natural lottery again
