Rapid DNA Technology: A Boon to Forensic DNA Typing
The FBI defines Rapid DNA as
“the fully automated (hands free) process of developing a CODIS Core Loci STR profile from a reference sample swab. The swab in - profile out process consists of automated extraction, amplification, separation, detection, and allele calling without human intervention”.
Modified Rapid DNA analysis describes the automated (hands-free) process of developing a CODIS Core STR profile from a known reference sample. This “swab in – profile out” process consists of automated extraction, amplification, separation, and detection without human intervention but requires human interpretation and technical review.

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).
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.
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.

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.
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.

Workshop A
Workshop B
A practical introduction for those at the start of the journey and what’s
new for those who have already set off.
Whether or not you are new to the field, this all-encompassing workshop
will give detailed insight, in an interactive format, across the entire
RNA-Seq landscape. RNA sources and preparation, the myriad library
construction options, sequencing: to pair or not to pair, and the world
of analysis – all will be covered and discussed in this complete learning
experience.
Leave this workshop with:
• A comprehensive understanding of the RNA-Seq landscape
• Further development of the questions to ask when considering
RNA-Seq
• A review of the bench and informatic technologies that are
right for your specific research needs
Transcriptomic and proteogenomic annotation using cross-omics
approaches by integrating datasets from genomics, transcriptomics and
proteomics aids in putting together alternative splicing fingerprints. The
concerted usage of post-genomic applications enhances gene model
reconstruction when different omics technologies are used in genomic
and transcriptomic annotation initiatives.
This workshop gives a hands-on experience with the use of these
automated transcriptomic annotation pipelines that allow you to use RNA-
Seq data as well as peptide data from proteomic mass-spectrometry. By
following this workshop, you’ll get a unique insight into innovative ways of
bridging technology gaps in this new era of “big data”. You will also find
ways of annotating the splicing transcriptome and use this information in
downstream functional analysis.
Leave this workshop with:
• A comprehensive understanding of the innovative ways of bridging
technology gaps in the new era of big data
• Up-to-date perspective of the latest advancements in this area and
what is just around the corner
• A better understanding of how alternative splicing is key in
fingerprinting the transcriptome

manage, explore, and visualize genomic data generated
via high throughput sequencing. Integrating best-in-
class open-source software, scientists are empowered
to ask new questions; build collaborative “communities
of discovery” to share data, methods, and results; and

private biomic information for viral, bacterial, vertebrate,
and plant genomes. The Maverix Analytic Platform is also
optimized to discover previously unknown roles of small
RNA in every aspect of cell regulation.
Lumenogix is built on the principle that researchers in the
life sciences should be able to analyze and understand
their own next-generation sequence data. For many
scientists, high-throughput sequencing has just moved
the research bottleneck from data generation to data
analysis, with frustrating delays caused by dependence
on specialized analysts. In contrast, we believe that the
computer should be viewed as a laboratory instrument
used in the pursuit of research. Our product, Lumenogix
NGS, is offered in three configurations to cover all possible
customer requirements: as a hosted solution on a private
cloud, as a hardware appliance, configured and ready to
run in your office or lab, and as full installation in your
data center.
