"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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.
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.

To get those industry skills, let’s begin your journey with the 30 Days of Google Cloud program. Let us tell you how your program journey would look like.
Begin your journey to cloud with 30 Days of Google Cloud.
After you acquire them, do remember to add them on your resume and professional profiles and share it with your network to prove that you have the in-demand skills. We have a total of 6 skills badges to be earned for each track!
This starts with the training session where we will conduct your training. In this kick-off call and the follow up session, we will give you an introduction to some basics of Google Cloud and will also provide you with an headstart to either of the 2 tracks that you are supposed to do in the program. In each session, we will cover some hand-on practice labs and during the end we will set you on the path where you can earn your Qwiklabs skill badges for the tracks in the 30 Days of Google Cloud program.
As you start your journey, you in parallel onboard your peers in your institution and start their learning a week later. You will help them deep dive into what you have already learned and get them to complete their quests on Qwiklabs, just like you did.
Upon successful completion of the program, you would have learned the necessary technical & soft skills that any company/organisation is looking for like leadership, program management, problem solving, team building & much more.
As the campaign progresses, we recognise your efforts and award you with certificates and cool goodies. You will know more about the rewards in slides ahead.
Now let’s take a look at what areas will we be covering in this journey!
[Read the content on the screen]
Let’s go over each track one by one.
First track that we have in the program is the “Cloud Engineering” track. By completing the quests under the Cloud Engineering track, you will learn to explore and deploy solution elements, including infrastructure components such as networks, systems, and applications services.
We have a total of 6 quests under this track that will be covered through training sessions starting next week.
Let’s take a look at the second track!
For Track 2, we have the “Data Science & Machine Learning” track. By completing the quests in this track, you will learn and demonstrate proficiency in key topics related to big data and machine learning to prepare for roles such as data analyst, marketing analyst, business intelligence professional, and data engineer. This track also consists of 6 quests.
I am sure you are curious to know about the campaign timelines and training schedules. You hear more about it in the slides ahead.
After completing each quest from either of the tracks, you have a chance of earning Google Cloud Skill Badges. Skill badges are used to show that you have actually applied your new learned skills using a challenge lab at the end where you have to take your new learned skills for a test drive.
Okay moving on to how the program schedule would look like once you are done with your training? After this training session, you will have to complete either of the tracks yourself and start onboarding your peers - we will tell you how you can do this at the end of this call, so don’t worry about this right now.
After onboarding them, we would leave it upto you on how you want to drive the program - conduct study jams, drop emails to your peers, message them etc.
As soon as everything is done, we will send you your certificates and also goodies to you and your peers!!
To help you better support your peers through the program and to stay updated with their progress, we will be sending you daily updates which will include the aggregate metrics of how your institution is doing in the program along with important program related updates and resource. See the screenshots provided to get an idea of how they would look like.
You will start receiving these reports from a few days after we open the enrolment form for students. To make sure that these emails from us don’t end up in your spam/promotions folder, then please make sure to add the email alias given here to your contacts on Gmail or the email service that you use. If you don’t know how to do that, then just drop a test email to this email alias a couple of times. The emails will just bounce back, but the alias will now be in your contacts.
Along with this email, you will also find an attached CSV file which will have the individual status of each students enrolled from your institution and their progress in the program. See the different data points that you will receive in the CSV file.
You will see the progress of the students in each of the tracks in the program syllabus around how many skill badges they have completed.
You will also receive the Qwiklabs public profile URL of the student so that you can check it’s correctness and follow up with the student to submit their correct profile URL.
You will receive the name and email ID of the students and also their enrolment date and time after which their completions are being counted.
Finally, the most important thing that you will see in those reports is the enrolment status of the student i.e. whether they have submitted the correct profile URL or not. This will easily help you identify the students with wrong profile URl and share with us the correct ones.
Since this is student data from your institution, you need to be very careful while handling this and make sure that you are not leaking any student information to anyone other than you.(Not even with your DSC team) Any such leak will result in you getting DISQUALIFIED from the program with any warnings.
