The document discusses declarative web data visualization using ClojureScript. It begins with an agenda that includes discussing what visualization is, doing it on the internet with tools like D3, and providing an example. It then covers using ClojureScript for visualization by treating data as a first-class concept, and provides a sample visualization code example to map flight data to HTML elements.
Mobilism 2013: A story of how we built Responsive BBC NewsJohn Cleveley
Scale and adapt: A story of how we built Responsive BBC News
Life used to be easy. We created sites to work on a few browsers and when we had time we asked the new guy to build a half baked mobile version. Then the device explosion ruined our cozy happy dev life.
My talk will discuss how BBC News met this challenge at scale.
How we support as many devices as possible using responsive design
Why performance is key to our success and how we managed to keep the site lean
How we scale to serve BBC News to the masses
What tools we use to help us along the way

OSCON 2013 - Planning an OpenStack Cloud - Tom FifieldOSCON Byrum
The flexibility of OpenStack is a dual-edged sword, giving you unprecedented control over your infrastructure, but potentially becoming a nightmare for the indecisive manager, architect or sysadmin!
In this presentation, Tom Fifield – co-author of the OpenStack Operations Guide, and Community Manager at the OpenStack Foundation – takes you through some of the decisions you will face when planning your OpenStack cloud. In addition to a brief introduction on OpenStack and advice on how to interact with the community, he will cover topics such as:
How to approach your deployment, ranging from DIY to a turn-key solution from the ecosystem
Storage and networking decisions, including plugin options
Automating deployment and configuration with popular tools like Puppet and Chef
Through discussion of the ecosystem, customization and scaling, you’ll walk away with an understanding of ‘what it takes’ to build your OpenStack cloud.
Protecting Open Innovation with the Defensive Patent LicenseOSCON Byrum
The Defensive Patent License (DPL) is a new legal mechanism to protect innovators by creating a patent network that is committed to defense and "de-weaponizing" patents. It draws from the theories and values of F/OSS licensing to create obligations that "travel with the patent"--preventing troll from taking over open technologies and pulling them out of the public domain.
Using Cascalog to build an app with City of Palo Alto Open DataOSCON Byrum
"Using Cascalog to build an app with City of Palo Alto Open Data" by Paco Nathan, presented at OSCON 2013 in Portland. Based on a case study from "Enterprise Data Workflows with Cascading" http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028536.do
Finite State Machines are overlooked at best, ignored at worst, and virtually always dismissed. This is tragic since FSMs are not just about Door Locks (the most commonly used example). On the contrary, these FSMs are invaluable in clearly defining communication protocols – ranging from low-level web-services through complex telephony application to reliable interactions between loosely-coupled systems. Properly using them can significantly enhance the stability and reliability of your systems.
Join me as I take you through a crash-course in FSMs, using erlang’s gen_fsm behavior as the background, and hopefully leaving you with a better appreciation of both FSM and erlang in the process.

The Vanishing Pattern: from iterators to generators in PythonOSCON Byrum
The core of the talk is refactoring a simple iterable class from the classic Iterator design pattern (as implemented in the GoF book) to compatible but less verbose implementations using generators. This provides a meaningful context to understand the value of generators. Along the way the behavior of the iter function, the Sequence protocol and the Iterable interface are presented. The motivating examples of this talk are database applications.
This talk covers why Apache Zookeeper is a good fit for coordinating processes in a distributed environment, prior Python attempts at a client and the current state of the art Python client library, how unifying development efforts to merge several Python client libraries has paid off, features available to Python processes, and how to gracefully handle failures in a set of distributed processes.
OSCON 2012 US Patriot Act Implications for Cloud Computing - Diane Mueller, A...OSCON Byrum
Presented by Diane Mueller, ActiveState @pythondj
Are you unsure what the security and privacy implications are for sensitive corporate data? US Patriot Act is causing many of us to hesitate on leveraging the cloud.
Organizations are thinking long and hard about the legal and regulatory implications of cloud computing. When it comes to actual corporate data, no matter what the efficiency gains are, legal departments are often directing IT departments to steer clear of any service that eliminates their ability to keep potential sensitive information out of the hands of Federal prosecutors.
Despite all the hype about every application moving into the cloud, some practical patterns are starting to emerge in the types of data corporations are willing to move to the cloud.
Covered in this session:
(a) Introduction to the US Patriot Act and Data Privacy issues Implications for on Cloud Computing Jurisdictional Issues
(b) Best Practices & Practical Patterns Classes of applications that best leverage the cloud
(c)What types of applications should stay on-premise Private Cloud Model(s) Building a Compliant Cloud Strategy

A Look at the Network: Searching for Truth in Distributed ApplicationsOSCON Byrum
A talk by C. Scott Andreas (@cscotta) of Boundary on "the network" and designing / deploying distributed applications.
This session offers a deep-dive into how application-level problems manifest at the network level. Some of these cases range from basic network partitions and node outages to sophisticated application-level changes such as garbage collections on managed runtimes, classes of bugs which evade conventional monitoring but constitute partial failures, changes in network activity based on database partitioning, load balancing, and sharding, and other warning signs that crop up at layer three long before wreaking havoc at layer seven as customer-visible failures begin to occur. Combining application-level metrics with network analytics is a powerful cocktail for identifying hot spots quickly, and connecting the dots out to the client closes the loop.

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.

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.
