Jacek Krolikowski Presentation - ECEI14
This document discusses the differences between a local digital agenda and a community digital agenda when implementing information and communication technologies (ICT) to support development in small rural communities. A community digital agenda takes a broader, more strategic approach that involves mobilizing all community partners and resources through multi-sector partnerships to develop ICT strategies. In contrast, a local digital agenda focuses narrowly on ICT supporting local authority services and skills for accessing those services. The document provides steps for implementing a community digital agenda, including developing ICT strategies through partnerships, conducting ICT audits, selecting and funding ICT solutions, and evaluating outcomes.

2019-06_Eunis_Burland
Recent national and international mandates and reports seek to promote an open research infrastructure which facilitates easy access to knowledge and information for all. For example, The UK Open Research Data Task Force report, released in February 2019, recommends user-friendly services for research data management and infrastructure to maximise interoperability and discoverability.
Jisc has built the Open Research Hub (JORH), which integrates a repository, preservation, reporting and storage platform. This cloud-based service is a community governed, multi-tenant solution for universities and other research institutions to manage, store, preserve and share their published research data. Based on existing open standards, the service’s open and extensive data model incorporates best practice from across the sector, including DataCite, CrossRef, CERIF, Dublin Core and PREMIS.
While the Hub was built to address the needs of research data curation, its adoption of open, best practice standards means it has the potential to allow the service to handle a much wider range of digital research objects, including Open Access articles, theses and software. The data model, rich messaging layer and an open API facilitate interoperability with other institutional and scholarly communications systems. This provides the potential for the Hub to underpin infrastructure capable of meeting the requirements of an ever-evolving open research agenda.
This talk will introduce some of the key initiatives seeking to shape open research infrastructure and discuss how the Hub’s current and future development is directed towards facilitating open research best practice. Consideration will be given to how the Hub either meets or can meet recent recommendations such as FAIR, Plan S, ORDTF and the COAR’s Next Generation Repositories.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Astute Business Solutions | Oracle Cloud Partner |

Programming Foundation Models with DSPy - Meetup Slides
Prompting language models is hard, while programming language models is easy. In this talk, I will discuss the state-of-the-art framework DSPy for programming foundation models with its powerful optimizers and runtime constraint system.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
