Jennifer Hayes, Adam Archer present how they built a mixed team (local&remote) to learn the practice of design studios, making them an integral part of doing UI design. Filmed at qconsf.com.
Adam Archer is a technical team lead at IBM working on the JazzHub project, a cloud-hosted software development platform. He spent the early portion of his career as a web application developer on the Jazz product line. Jennifer Hayes is a UXD lead at IBM working on the JazzHub project, a cloud-hosted software development platform, as well as Rational Team Concert.
Today’s mainstream acceptance of Agile+DevOps as the preferred way of working once again raises questions of what architecture work is and who does it. It simultaneously challenges much of our previously accepted wisdom, preferring architecture to be a “shared commons” across the development organisation, while demanding a sophisticated level of software architecture practice to deliver on the promises of Agile+DevOps.
One way of describing this situation is the need to “democratise” software architecture so it becomes a shared responsibility rather than a centralised impediment to rapid delivery. In this talk we’ll examine the challenges of software architecture in today’s modern distributed teams and ask how we might make the architecture of their systems a shared responsibility to allow them to achieve the software architecture that they need at the speed that they need it.
This document discusses container build tools and summarizes some of their key features. It notes that while Docker works well, it has some inefficiencies like lack of concurrency support and inefficient caching. Alternatives discussed include BuildKit, Kaniko, img, and Buildah. The document recommends BuildKit as the most promising option as it uses a DAG-style language called LLB for more efficient concurrency and caching support compared to Dockerfiles, and its integration with Docker.

Later sections discuss additional work including residential design, furniture design, and parametric modeling in Rhino.
Teaching Computer Architecture Labs using a MCU PlatformRafael Roman Otero
This document discusses using a microcontroller (MCU) platform rather than a simulator to teach computer architecture labs. It notes that while simulators provide benefits like debugging tools, MCUs also provide these benefits through off-the-shelf debuggers. MCUs have simpler architectures than platforms like x86 and allow students to directly program and debug real hardware. The document proposes using an ARM Cortex-M4 based MCU which provides features like memory protection and privileged/unprivileged modes to demonstrate computer architecture concepts to students.

egk13 - Intra Africa Trade - Abebe Abebayehuicebauhaus
This document discusses challenges and recommendations regarding intra-African trade. It notes that intra-African trade is currently very low at 12%, compared to over 50% for other regions, due to barriers like lack of infrastructure, complex trade regulations, and low productive capacity. Increasing intra-African trade could boost investment, reduce vulnerability, and be a major opportunity for growth. Key recommendations include improving political cooperation, investing in infrastructure like ports and roads, streamlining customs procedures, facilitating information sharing on business opportunities, and engaging the African diaspora.
The document discusses harnessing innovation for wider educational integration in Africa. It argues that the African Diaspora possess wealth of knowledge and innovation needed to advance the continent. However, only 5% of young Africans currently attend college, and they are not being equipped with innovation in education. The document proposes engaging the Diaspora and applying the spirit of innovation in Africa's educational system by utilizing innovative technologies to enhance learning and communicate across borders on the continent.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Erick Tambo on brain circulation schemes and including diaspora in higher education. It discusses the United Nations University's (UNU) mandate to support sustainable development and their various programs and campus locations worldwide.

This document discusses creating innovation spaces that bring together startups, education, technology transfer, and community support through events, networking, collaboration, workshops and projects to foster innovation.
The document discusses the link between migration and innovation from a development perspective. It defines innovation as new solutions introduced into a market or company. Important factors that foster innovation include exchange, integration into international networks, and mobility of skilled people. Migrants can contribute to innovation through investment channels like remittances and joint ventures, as well as through knowledge and network transfers. The influencing factors include conditions in both the country of origin, like education quality, and country of destination, such as immigration policy and discrimination levels. Examples of programs that promote investment and return of skilled diaspora are discussed from Honduras, Armenia, and Serbia.
This document outlines a planned research cooperation between Mewael Kiros of ASSEFA and the Technische Universität München on conservation agriculture and cover crops. The cooperation aims to optimize the use of subsidiary crop applications in rotations to make conservation agriculture more effective. Key aspects of conservation agriculture discussed are disturbing the soil as little as possible, keeping the soil covered as much as possible, and mixing and rotating crops. The expected impacts include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased biodiversity, lower production costs, and social impacts. The cooperation also involves introducing conservation agriculture and cover crops in northern Ethiopia through a project called CoNEt.
This document discusses how Ethiopia has experienced significant brain drain over the past few decades but is now working to turn that into brain gain by leveraging its diaspora experts. It notes that Ethiopia lost 75% of its skilled workforce between 1980-1991 and now has over 300,000 professionals residing outside of Africa. To address shortages of academics and challenges in higher education from increasing student numbers, Ethiopia is using technology like video conferencing and establishing diaspora organizations to facilitate remote supervision, mentoring, knowledge transfer and short visits by experts abroad. This allows diaspora members to contribute without permanent return and helps turn migration from a brain drain into a brain gain for Ethiopia's development.
This document discusses how migration can catalyze innovation. It provides examples of how migrating animals, cultures, and people throughout history have led to new ideas and changes in perception. Migration triggers five key innovation skills: association, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. The document advocates being willing to think outside the box in order to escape obvious patterns of thought.
1) The document discusses integrating climate smartness into sustainable land management in Ethiopia through the EU/MOA/GIZ Project of the Global Climate Change Alliance.
2) Effects of climate change like droughts and floods can accelerate land degradation, lower crop and livestock productivity, and reduce food and income.
3) The project aims to take a threefold approach of mitigation, adaptation, and livelihoods to manage climate risks through practices like carbon sequestration, behavioral changes, and ensuring food security and income.
The document discusses using information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance the quality of education in Africa. It notes that current education focuses too much on theory and memorization without real-life application and technology. This has led to high youth unemployment. The proposal is to use ICT like smartphones and mobile networks to provide more engaging education focusing on creativity, collaboration, and subjects like math, English, and entrepreneurship. It would use incentives like games and student ambassadors for scalability. Partnerships with governments, institutions, NGOs and companies could help achieve this vision of filling Africa's digital gap through improved technology-enabled education.

To realise the embedded functionality of the house typology in practice we defined the following criteria: the materials, or better the building parts, have to adhere to the reference grid and dimensions of the coordinates,the construction system has to be flexible and modularised,connections and construction details (foundation walls, roof, terraces and so on) need to be standardised, andon-site realisation has to be simple, affordable and achievable by unskilled workers.
This research has the potential to become an important model for cultural identity and implementing new building technologies in the developing world. The research project will develop local accepted dwelling units towards the sustainable development of buildings and neighborhoods. Conceived as examples to be deployed within professional practice in order to attain sustainable conditions, these prototypes must comply with specific criteria addressing the cultural traditions and local knowledge of the builders and users.Therefore, this research could serve as a benchmark of sustainable building practices for other similar research projects to follow, as it has a sustainable approach on all levels, from the materials to the construction and maintenance.

The size of aggregated modules extends up to a width of 5 modules (6.25 m) to make it possible to use easily- realisable roof or slab constructions. The module system is developed for single or two-storey buildings. It is a fact that the lower a building is, the lower the effort required to build it in terms of materials, technical equipment and expenses for its construction.

There are only two kinds of basic module: a so-called “built module” and a so-called “open module”. Each of these modules includes a set of basic and technical parameters and are able to link these up with adjoining modules when used in combination. The modular concept follows the principles of taxonomy and object orientation. The “built module”, for instance, has the attribute, “itself or its neighbours has walls around it” while the “open module” has the attribute, “it has a roof or slab above/beneath it”

Each of these constellations acquires the basic and technical parameters of the modules it is made up of. The underlying principle derives from the well-known concept of “mass customisation”, here made possible by using object-orientated techniques. The resulting design of the houses are automatically equipped with the technical and constructional parameters of the modules themselves (see figure) and the principle of modular combination makes it possible to develop a series of standard details. At this time, the following attributes are embedded into the module typology system:exact mass and cost calculation, all the related construction details,technological issues such as scheduling, material deposits and site preparation

The product technology forms the basis of these lightweight buildings made of highly rigid construction panels with laminate-sealed faces and honeycomb cores. The joining of the panels is carried out using heavy duty adhesive technology with reinforced corner profiles. It employs an environmentally-friendly and environmentally-sound surface layer, whose principal component is composed of a combination of magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. It is therefore suitable for cladding outdoor spaces and is water-repellent and very fire-resistant. An alkali-resistant glass fibre mesh together with a slightly modified filling compound is used for reinforcement.The panel length is limited only by transportability while the thickness can be chosen from 20 mm up to a maximum of 250 mm. The building material is weatherproof. These elements are applied to construct buildings effectively while simultaneously conserving resources. The actual construction takes much less time, uses less material while weighing considerably less, requires no additional construction and costs a fraction of the usual building costs

We can only hope that this sense of identity will be a starting point for experiencing the world of housing and settlement as a part of human existence itself. Only in this way may a sense of personal responsibility for our environment emerge that is so important for our existence.
