Abstract
Looking at climate change, development of activities like fishing, shipping, tourism etc together with the history of policies in the polar region in and around Svalbard applying an holistic approach, can result in new information that will help us make better decisions for the Arctic area in the future.
3 different H2020 projects INTAROS, NextGEOSS, and DataBio join forces to provide new information using the latest in big data and cloud technology, access to Copernicus data and services, and user requirements from social scientists. Through analysis of different types of met-ocean data ((e.g. ice edge, SST) and fishery statistics to investigate potential links between climate change and activity in the polar region in and around Svalbard. We evaluate if the FAIR principles are met for the chosen variables, using Copernicus, BarentsWatch and other open data resources. Accessibility and functionality of the related APIs will be assessed, and whether the chosen APIs can jointly provide new information.
We will also present how one can combine available information from existing sources, such as catch reports, oceanographic measurements, oceanographic simulations, stock simulations and stock observations, can be used for improving assessment of fish stocks and their distribution. Part of these data will be derived from remote sensing, while others will be collected using vessels equipped with appropriate sensors and communication and communication tools.
Together this combinations of data will provide new information that will be useful for policy making in polar regions and that take into account the different sectors and actors involved.

Geographic information systems and location analytics change how we think and act. It alters what we measure, how we analyze things, and what predictions we make. It changes how we plan, design, evaluate, and ultimately manage our projects. GIS has scaled and is moving beyond projects or single systems to embrace organizational missions and become a pervasive force of change. But is this reality possible? GIS is the next GPS where our businesses, communities, and society can chart new directions. Discover how the mix of art, science, action, ideas, and collaboration turn this powerful notion into outcomes.

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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
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 Royal Australian Navy´s (RAN’s) Hydrography, Meteorology and
Oceanography (HM) Branch is responsible to the Australian Department
of Defence for the collection, management, analyses, and dissemination
of meteorological and oceanographic data. Through this process, the HM
Branch provides information on the maritime environment. This enables
defense users at the strategic (through climatology), operational (through
forecasts), and tactical (through observations) levels to properly consider
the environmental impacts on planning and conducting maritime activities.
The Challenge
The ocean can be a harsh and unrelenting environment, providing no
shelter for vessels and their crews caught in open waters. Extreme winds,
rogue waves, untracked icebergs, and freezing ship superstructures
are only a few of the conditions that can disrupt maritime activities. In
extreme cases they can lead to disasters.
The ability to rapidly assess change for safe navigation is crucial for
the mariner and the defense planner. The volume of data collected for
parameters such as ocean temperature and salinity, ocean currents,
winds, and waves is enormous, significantly increased with the added
dimensions of depth and time. To provide context, data must be
geolocated relative to foundation maritime features such as coastlines,
bathymetric survey data, and nautical charts. It must also be considered
in relation to vector datasets such as Automatic Identification System
(AIS) shipping traffic, piracy incidents, and fishing activity.
In addition to the volume of data, its analysis and dissemination is further
complicated by the number of formats that are required by the agencies
using it. These formats include Network Common Data Form (NetCDF),
General Regularly-distributed Information in Binary (GRIB), and Tagged
Image File Format (TIFF). All of these data formats must be easily accessible.
