Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a new shape memory polymer material that is able to change its shape in response to different environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, or pH levels. This novel material could be used to create actuators for soft robotics or biomedical devices as it is flexible, lightweight and can perform multi-shape memory effects with high strength.

Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to: Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons) Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review But there’s more: In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see: Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and Sales

Laura Byrne

Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes? All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook. PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides: - A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling; - Visualization tools to display your network; - Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses; The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well. What you will learn during the webinar: - For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills; - For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.

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.
