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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

3. Optional Presentation Title
More definitions
Blended Learning
• AKA Hybrid
– Some combination of
online and face-to-face
• 1/3 or more online
– Good evidence that this
model promotes learning

– Build your own
4. Optional Presentation Title
Important Points
1) What does your content look like now?
a) Is it all digital, e.g. ppt slides, .pdfs, video, etc
b) Is it already housed online somewhere? Sakai, eCollege
2) This rubs some people the wrong way, but…
a) You may not need to radically transform how you are teaching
i. You may already be „blending‟
ii. You can tweak your course later
iii. Just keep some simple guidelines in mind
i. (Later in presentation)
5. Optional Presentation Title
My recommendation for a comprehensive
solution…
• Camtasia by TechSmith
– $179 for educational license
• One seat, but actually can install multiple times
• Also, could share a laptop on which it is installed
– Screen Recording & Video Editing Software
– “More than a simple screen recorder, Camtasia helps you create
professional videos easily. Use Camtasia to record on-screen
activity, customize and edit content, add interactive elements, and share
your videos with anyone, on nearly any device.”
– One of my favorite uses:
• Capture ANYTHING you can see on your screen: any movie, any software
– „Fair use‟ (you can post any short thing on a password protected CMS
• There are a couple of other PowerPoint converters:
– iSpring, Impatica
• Not much cheaper than Camtasia, which does more
6. Optional Presentation Title
Cheaper solutions
• Use „Export‟ in PowerPoint to make a video
– You can add narration etc.
• Use „Snag-it‟ by TechSmith for screen capture
• multiple ways to capture screen images, Web pages, and other data and
elements but also annotate them with text or drawing
– $30 30 day free trial
• Even cheaper:
– Jing from TechSmith, Free
• Screen capture, record activity (5 min. limit), annotate
• Good for short instructions
– Ezvid, free, very robust for free!! ezvid.com
• 45 minutes, capture anything, including your webcam easily
• Import your video from PowerPoint
• Add voice, text, silly sound effects, and cheesy music
7. Optional Presentation Title
There are many screen capture programs.
Some are free.
• Snap by Ashampoo
– Really great at capturing
websites or elements of
websites
– $20 (I think)
8. Optional Presentation Title
Find a balance between time spent vs. your
satisfaction with your online presentation
1) have to accept that there will be glitches.
a) students care less than you do, unless it impacts grades
b) You can tweak your course later
c) Just keep some simple guidelines in mind:
a) People have less attention span online than in the classroom
i. Presentations can be short, or pause-able
ii. Need some variety in modes of presentation, but
i. Emphasize the visual: Pictures, graphs, figures, video, etc
i. But, Students want to hear your voice more than see your face
ii. Put up a short video of you on your website
iii. Think about how students will navigate through the course
9. Optional Presentation Title
Other issues
3) Need to think about where your students are in terms of use
of technology
a) Hopefully, you are more with-it than I am, or you have teenage children
a) Most are likely comfortable with online chat, discussions, accessing videos
b) But don‟t overestimate their academic tech skills
a) Updating a facebook page might be easy for them, but they may not have
effective skills for web searching, for example.
4) There is much concern about being „multi-platform‟
a) Students can access via iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, PC
a) Students will have access to a PC or Mac, so focus on those
b) It‟s up to Sakai or eCollege to make their CMS multiplatform
5) Academically „Disadvantaged‟ students do poorer online than
person
a) Use tools available to monitor student use of materials and to find
people that might be having trouble
