•
Malaysia has made significant progress in basic connectivity, but there is an opportunity to expand access to and use of higher quality broadband.
•
Ubiquitous, high quality, affordable broadband will increasingly be a critical foundation of the digital economy. Better connected economies will do better.
•
Malaysia’s ambitions for the digital economy will only be realized, and its investments (DFTZ, Industry 4.0 etc.) pay off, if fixed broadband services become more affordable and their quality is improved.
•
Malaysia can consider a new strategy, with more ambitious targets, to promote competitive markets, accelerate infrastructure deployments, and attract private capitalto increase broadband network roll out and use.

Driven by the rapid progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, intelligent machines are gaining the ability to learn, improve and make calculated decisions in ways that will enable them to perform tasks previously thought to rely solely on human experience, creativity, and ingenuity. As a result, we will in the near future see large parts of our lives influenced by AI.
AI innovation will also be central to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will help solving humanity's grand challenges by capitalizing on the unprecedented quantities of data now being generated on sentiment behavior, human health, commerce, communications, migration and more.
With large parts of our lives being influenced by AI, it is critical that government, industry, academia and civil society work together to evaluate the opportunities presented by AI, ensuring that AI benefits all of humanity. Responding to this critical issue, ITU and the XPRIZE Foundation organized AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, 7-9 June, 2017 in partnership with a number of UN sister agencies. The Summit aimed to accelerate and advance the development and democratization of AI solutions that can address specific global challenges related to poverty, hunger, health, education, the environment, and others.
The Summit provided a neutral platform for government officials, UN agencies, NGO's, industry leaders, and AI experts to discuss the ethical, technical, societal and policy issues related to AI, offer reccommendations and guidance, and promote international dialogue and cooperation in support of AI innovation.

Collection Methodology for Key Performance Indicators for Smart Sustainable C...ITU
These indicators have been developed to provide cities with a consistent and standardised method to collect
data and measure performance and progress to:
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
becoming a smarter city
becoming a more sustainable city
The indicators will enable cities to measure their progress over time, compare their performance to other
cities and through analysis and sharing allow for the dissemination of best practices and set standards for
progress in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the city level.

Enhancing innovation and participation in smart sustainable citiesITU
The United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiative was launched by the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in May 2016. The first phase of this initiative, which was conducted via three Working Groups, was completed in April 2017. This flipbook brings together the work done in Working Group 3 (WG3) for Enhancing Innovation and Participation in Smart Sustainable Cities. WG3 is formed of a group of global experts and practitioners to facilitate knowledge sharing and partnership building on smart cities, with the aim of formulating strategic guidelines and case studies for enhancing innovation and participation in smart sustainable cities. More specifically, WG3 addresses various topics on smart governance, smart economy and smart people with the aim of achieving strong and symbiotic governance, economics and society.

In this guidance document, we study the advantages of using ICT technologies to support the implementation
of the Sustainable Development Goals, namely SDG 11, by facilitating the missing linkages that exist between
sustainability policies and urban-planning practices through digitally-enabled urban actions. These urban
actions will be shaped as recommendations that will put forward physical and non-physical advice to help
the user improve the implementation of both SDG 11 and the New Urban Agenda.

Connecting cities and communities with the SDGsITU
This flipbook provides an overview of how cities can use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to achieve the SDGs. It also maps the case studies to the various international agreements as well as the SDGs. Based on the mapping in this flipbook, U4SSC aims to derive the best practices and guidelines with the final goal of propelling transitions to smart cities while simultaneously achieving the SDGs. The outputs
presented in this flipbook are expected to provide urban stakeholders with an overview of innovative concepts, policies and frameworks that have been adopted in various countries, to facilitate smart-city transformations.

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.
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.

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.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.

ICTs, LDCs and the SDGs
1. Pre-WTDC-17 Ministerial Roundtable on
ICT④SDGs in LDCs, LLDCs & SIDS
8 October, 2017
Vanessa GRAY
Head of LDCs, SIDS &
Emergency Telecommunications Division
BDT/ITU
ICTs, LDCs and the SDGs
Achieving universal and affordable Internet
in the least developed countries
2. SDG 9C “Significantly increase
access to information and
communications technology and
strive to provide universal and
affordable access to the Internet
in LDCs by 2020”
LDCs & LLDCs SIDS
• LDCs: 47 countries highly vulnerable to
economic and environmental shocks
• Includes 17 LLDCs and 9 SIDS
• LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS face related
development challenges but are very
different in terms of geography, population
and level of economic development.

3. Highlights
• ICTs, in particular basic services and applications over 2G networks,
have had a significant impact on development but promise from
broadband is even greater
• LDCs are on track to achieve SDG 9C in terms of access & affordability
• Internet use expected to remain low and skills remain a key barrier
• It is possible to leapfrog: sharing experiences from LDCs
• 3 dimensional framework - access, affordability & skills – to identify
strengths and weaknesses and guide policies
5. Explosive growth in access to submarine
cables & national backbone infrastructure
International
• Except for 6 (out of 30) ALL sea-facing LDCs have
landing stations
• Almost all LLDCs have fiber optic cable cross-
border terrestrial links but prices generally higher
due to transit
• Unconnected SIDS are planning access to
submarine cables
• Leverage regional economic communities for policy
on cost-based & open access to submarine cables
National
Better backbone infrastructure through:
• Access to spectrum/digital dividend
• Regulation on rights of way and open access to
networks
• Infrastructure sharing
• Universal Service Funds

• Narrowband (2G) Internet
coverage high with remaining gaps
almost all in rural areas
• 61% of population covered by 3G

9. Understanding affordability
• Despite price drops, international
comparison (ITU price basket) shows that
broadband remains unaffordable to many
• …but by 2020 will be affordable in many
LDCs
• Handset biggest barrier to entry
• Flexible tariffs help with affordability and
operators have adapted to low-income users
• Governments can help bring down prices by
driving competition and limiting taxes
• Backbone constraints for LLDCs and some

Zambia, Barriers to Internet use, 2015• Lack of digital literacy emerging as a leading
barrier to Internet use in many LDCs
• Digital skills closely linked to educational
attainment
• Secondary school enrolment in LDCs (43%)
lies well below world average (76%)
• Strategic ICT sector plans need to highlight
the role of, and make link to educational
policies
• Gender digital divide must be addressed to

LDCs have made rapid progress towards achieving universal access and affordability of the Internet. If recent growth rates hold, they will be on track to reach over 90% mobile broadband coverage and prices of less than 5% of income. Of course this masks huge differences between the LDCs but reflects that some of them will have largely achieved the universality and affordability criteria by 2020. However the prospects for widespread use of the Internet by 2020 are poor. At current growth, less than 25% of the LDC’s population will be online. School enrollment rates are not expected to increase by much over the next years.
