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.
"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.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

37. What are product data templates?
A product data template is simply a form that contains standardised
headings against which manufacturers product information is placed. There
is a different template for each type of product.

Editor's Notes
Senior BIM Author at RIBA Enterprises
Manage the content development team who create generic and proprietary BIM objects for the NBS National BIM Library.
7 years FaulknerBrowns
Heavy involvement with implementing the transition from traditional CAD to BIM within the Darlington Office.
This demonstrates where the NBS services fit into the RIBA plan of works
These are the three main products that the Product Information team work with
Stats re visitors are over a 12 month period
The session is about demonstrating how the NBS are developing tools and services to
Assist designers working in a digital environment
To date NBS have developed a Revit plugin and ArchiCAD have developed a plugin
Revit has had the majority of development due to update in the industry but NBS are currently working with ArchiCAD to develop tools on offer.
There are thousands of generic and proprietary objects available from over 200 manufacturers.
You can drag and drop these objects straight into your design model.
All NBS BIM objects contain references to the equivalent NBS specification clauses.
> Click to play video and prove commentary
Benefit from direct access to expert NBS guidance.
Select an object in the model and the equivalent ‘general guidance’ page in the NBS guidance displays, with information such as design principles, performance, health and safety, environmental and contractual issues.
> Click to play video and prove commentary
All objects within the design can be linked to the relevant specification clause using the ‘Associate Object with Clause’ feature.
> Click to play video and prove commentary
If a designer’s office have their own BIM objects, they can add the NBS parameters required to enable integration with the specification.
This can be done either by clicking the NBS button within the Autodesk Revit Family editor or manually adding these properties from the NBS shared parameter file.
> Click to play video and prove commentary
You can create an outline specification from the design model with one click of a button, which provides a specification that is synchronised with your model.
By doing this not only does this save you time, it also gives you confidence that your model and your specification are the same.
> Click to play video and prove commentary
The user may check that all objects are correctly associated with NBS clauses across the project.
The report shows the status of all relevant objects and highlights where a clause has been renamed or removed from the specification.
You will be guided through the process of fixing these with information such as which user renamed an item and when.

Ability to drag objects straight into your model
On hand guidance notes on object selection
Linkage back to specification
Ability to upgrade your own content
Generate an outline specification from your model
Report on broken links to spec
A chance to preview and feedback on a new IFC export that allows you to combine property sets from the linked specification clauses with the objects in the model.
A further function in beta testing is the ability to add information from the specification to the model
Next we will look at the functions of the National BIM library website and how these functions may improve your workflow
Give a brief over view of what the NBL
My library is the home of what you have starred, downloaded and what has been updated.
It is the dashboard to your BIM objects.
Browse objects on the move, at a design team meeting
Build up starred objects for a project, download when required
Filter starred objects by keyword, sort and download
Why have objects been updated?:
NBS may have updated objects to meet BIM object standard
Manufacturers have updated their products:
Impact on geometry
Impact on data
Manufacturers have updated their company or product name
NBS update objects to reflect changes to specification, classification etc.
We inform you of the changes to let you decide to update or not
> Click displays example changes
As soon as an object is downloaded from the website it is automatically added to your library
Historic list of previous content that has been saved onto a hard drive or used in a project
Ability to order these by date
Mention the development of tagging what you have downloaded or starred
Ever wonder what data is contained in a BIM object before downloading ?
How do you select the correct product?
The properties and values function will help you.
Need to contact a manufacturer for more details, use the technical help function
A feature we have been playing with is product comparison
This might appear in one or more of our product information services, would this be uesful?
We have covered the main features of the site
Site has been developed to assist in a designers workflow
The standard is intended for construction professionals, manufacturers and other BIM content developers to assist in the creation of BIM objects that operate in a Common Data Environment
The NBS BIM Object Standard defines requirements for the information, geometry, behaviour and presentation of BIM objects, to give reassurance of quality that will enable greater collaboration and efficient information exchange across the construction industry.
By standardising BIM objects, you can consistently use, compare, analyse, and share information to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.
> 5 sections appear on click
At a basic levels objects should be classified correctly in software
Allows models to be quickly filtered by a designer
> Example model filtering on click
Property sets to include within BIM objects.
Defined order of selection gives a consistent method in how to select properties that exist across multiple sources.
Property naming criteria allows parent/child values to be consistently named
> Example NBS window data on click
> Example hierarchy selection and child naming on click
Does an object require parametrical controlled geometry or is it fixed?
Using symbolic data by define higher levels of detail in accordance to BS 8541-2
Minimum or maximum space requirements for access
Applying finishes, hatch patterns, textures etc.
> Example BS 8541- 2 on click
> Level of door jamb detail levels on next 3 clicks
Manufacturing constraints to restrict object manipulation
Does an object need to connect with other building elements?

> Click for connection example
> Click for space requirements
Consistent naming conventions across all files

Providing consistency when scheduling and co-ordinating information.
Associate NBS specification properties to allow integration with the NBS Plug-in.
A lot of the Plug-in features require NBSReference and NBSDescription to function.

The templates can be used to streamline the adoption of the NBS BIM Object Standard by eliminating the need to load each shared parameter individually, and manually sort the property into the correct group.
When used alongside the NBS shared parameter file the templates will provide consistent data standards and parameter GUIDs across your BIM project
Download the zip file containing the set of templates and save them to your templates folder for the next time you create a Revit family or start a new project.
Archicad tool makes creating components easy
Adding data is quick and simple based upon filling out a spread sheet
NBS have assisted Archicad in this development
PDTs are available from the BIMToolkit
