This document discusses deploying Dell client operating systems using driver CAB files with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. It covers importing driver CABs, injecting WinPE drivers into boot images, creating OS images, and building a task sequence for deployment. The key steps are importing the necessary driver CABs and WinPE drivers, creating an OS image from an ISO, and building a task sequence that references these items to automate OS deployment to Dell clients.

Often the hidden power of a platform lies in its Software Development Kits (SDKs) and IBM Sametime is no exception. IBM Sametime has one of the richest SDKs of any UC platform, and knowing about its capabilities can allow companies to understand further how they can fully exploit all of the capabilities Sametime offers. Come to this session to learn about the different SDK components and to see examples of how customers are using the SDK to integrate Sametime into their Communication Enabled Business Processes (CEBP)
Learn how to be more efficient with the K2000. Attend this session to see how to take advantage of all the features to optimize your workflow. Find out more: http://dell.to/1GDYpr8

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.
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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

2. Agenda
• Why Dell Cabs?
• Introduction to driver cabs
• Creating OS image
• Importing *Driver Cab
• Injecting Winpe drivers
• Creating task sequence
• OS Deployment
*Driver cab is also referred as Dell Command | Deploy Driver Pack
3. Why Dell Cabs?
• Administration of large dell enterprise requires consistent
methods for managing the diverse network clients.
• IT departments typically manage a heterogeneous mix of
decentralized client hardware and various software
applications.
• It’s a pain to install os and required drivers/applications
on large number of clients .
4. Solution
• To cater the pain points of Dell Customers ,Dell is
providing a solution to leverage the operating system
deployment (OSD) capabilities using Microsoft System
Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM 2012
)/KACE/MDT with the Dell Client System Deployment
CABs (Dell Command | Deploy Driver Pack) to deploy a
customized OS image on Dell client systems.
5. Introduction to Driver Cabs
• Cab Consist of raw drivers and Manifest.xml
• Manifest.xml carries the information regarding drivers packed in the cab Cab
Structure
• CABs are of three types:
System CABs :designed for deployment to a single model
Combo CABs: designed for deployment to multiple models
WinPE CABs : designed to provide required drivers for WinPE to boot a Dell machine
• A driver Cab is released for an Operating System Family
• A New Driver CAB is spun based on set of Drivers availability for list of devices,
It might be new or either old.
• Cabs are released on the cadence like monthly, once in two months , Quarterly
