Thank you..

Session on: Supporting call-takers/dispatchers decision making and situational awareness Chair: Chair: Stephen Hines, Clinical Practice Learning Manager, London Ambulance Service, United Kingdom An experienced, well-trained call-taker/dispatcher can gather a lot of high quality, vitally important information that can help first responders form an early understanding of what they will be facing upon arrival at the emergency scene. Supporting tools could however help them to do it faster and better!

Sandro Batista from Focus BC was an invited speaker at the 1st FIG Young Surveyors European Meeting where he had the opportunity to talk about their academic and professional background and to show the Future of Innovation and Technology in the areas of interest to all the participants. This European event, co-organized by the Ordem dos Engenheiros and the FIG Young Surveyors Network (YSN) had as its theme "European Young Surveyors together for tomorrow's challenges" and the goal of "establishing a European network of young technicians and engineers of surveying and geographical information technologies in order to Enhance international Cooperation and promotion of contacts and knowledge." had another successful step!

Nalaka Gunawardene

The challenge in disaster early warnings is to make the best possible decisions quickly using imperfect information. With lives and livelihoods at stake, there is much pressure to get it right. But one can’t be timely and perfectly accurate at the same time. We have come a long way since the devastating Boxing Day tsunami of December 2004 caught Indian Ocean countries by surprise. Many of the over 230,000 people killed that day could have been saved by timely coastal evacuations. The good news is that advances in science and communications technology, greater international cooperation, and revamped national systems have vastly improved tsunami early warnings during the past decade. However, some critical gaps and challenges remain. The Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (IOTWS) was set up in 2005 under UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. Over USD 400 million has been invested in state of the art equipment for rapid detection and assessment. However, the system’s overall effectiveness is limited by poor local infrastructure and lack of preparedness. Some countries also lack efficient decision-making for issuing national level warnings based on regionally provided rapid assessments. Warnings must reach communities at risk early enough for action. False warnings can cause major economic losses and reduce compliance with future evacuation orders. Only governments can balance these factors. It is important that there be clearer protocols within governments to consider the best available information and make the necessary decisions quickly. Now, the proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is making this delicate balance even more difficult. To remain effective in the always-connected and chattering Global Village, disaster managers have to rethink their engagement strategies. Controlled release of information is no longer an option for governments. In the age of 24/7 news channels and social media, many people will learn of breaking disasters independently of official sources. Some social media users will also express their views instantly – and not always accurately. How can this multiplicity of information sources and peddlers be harnessed in the best public interest? What are the policy options for governments, and responsibilities for technical experts? How to nurture public trust, the ‘lubricant’ that helps move the wheels of law and order - as well as public safety - in the right direction?

The high-level performance of frontline professionals is crucial but this becomes increasingly difficult during a long-term crisis with no replacements for personnel and no end in sight. It is essential to think and act differently, working strategically and actively with recovery. We will hear how a team turned a Swedish military concept and experiences from working in conflict zones into a civilian toolbox. The practical techniques were applied in Intensive Care Units managing the COVID-19 pandemic. • Magdalena Robertsson Lind, Expert in crisis management and resilience, Co-founder of Metis Services • Håkan Kalzén, Managing Director, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Clinic Södertälje Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024

Tobias 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.
