Cloud computing has become a critical part of IT architecture. This research from CompTIA examines the changes taking place in the IT function that help drive strategic value
All aspects of energy are becoming more information intensive, and will likely become more so in the future. This is true at the machine level, facility level, fleet level and network level. The consequences are significant including the potential for more efficient operations, lower transaction costs, a shift from reactive to predictive maintenance, better safety and finally new regulatory dynamics with new levels of transparency for monitoring and enforcement.

Team A impressed the judges at the Catch! Transport Systems Innovation Workshop with their plan to transform Home to School service provision by using detailed data to optimise routing and evaluate interventions. They proposed to use the app and facts it reveals to capture the energy and persistence of children and turn them into agents of behaviour change!
The proposed developments were wide-reaching and have significant implications for how the industry conducts business. We received 680 usable responses to the consultation questionnaire and a wealth of new ideas on further new features and services. Responses came from every stakeholder group in the industry: translators, corporate buyers, public sector buyers, service providers, technology vendors, academia, and consultants / sector analysts / commentators.
A very large majority recognize the benefits of sharing translation memories. There was a strong endorsement of plans to provide users and members with greater intelligent access and easier access to data through translation matching and open APIs for services. View the presentation to see how people voted, what has been prioritized, and when new services will be delivered.

Providing timely, location enabled information to responders and citizens is critical in managing major emergencies such as bushfires. In major recent events (Canberra 2003, Victoria 2009), traditional communication technologies and methods could not cope sufficiently with the magnitude of the event. More recently and abroad (notably the Haiti Earthquake) Web 2.0 technologies are proving to be invaluable enhancements to traditional information management practices, helping save property and lives.

Keeping your project on track - Webinar, September 2016Aconex
In this webinar, CH2M shares how company culture and forward thinking technology adoption help them to manage major infrastructure projects to tight schedules. Plus, global infrastructure experts CG/LA announce this year’s top strategic infrastructure projects and discuss how leaders are delivering complex projects on schedule.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course on Business Models at National University of Singapore to analyze the business model for Jasper. Jasper provides a platform for the Internet of Things that enable companies to connect their “things” to the Internet. It provides each thing with a global SIM card that works with local telco wireless systems. It also provides a middleware platform that enables data analysis and presentation. This enables users to monitor their things 24/7, better manage costs and customer usage, and integrate these outputs with their own IT systems. Jasper charges for each connection and thus begins making money as soon as users connect to their systems. The slides describe the value proposition, method of value capture, customers, scope of activities, and method of strategic control for Jasper.
Presented by Eric Ziering, Director of Software, Cambridge Systematics, Inc.
Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information,
both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide
the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade
ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a
number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently
been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through
the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to
maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
