Developing Africa’s Infrastructure for Enhanced Competitiveness 2013Dr Lendy Spires
The Africa Competitiveness Report 2013 benefit from globalization through investment and trade. To achieve this calls for the construction of an efficient and secure national and cross-border physical infrastructure as well as a coherent system of regulation for business transactions.3 Infrastructure is also critical for the promotion of inclusive and sustainable growth. Rural infrastructure— notably feeder roads and transmission lines that connect rural communities to national grids—enable individuals, households, communities, and small businesses to embark on income-generating activities thanks to improved access to electricity and links to markets. The use of renewable energy or environment-friendly sources of energy—including solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower, with all of which Africa is well endowed— would contribute to making growth sustainable. A considerable investment in infrastructure that uses innovative sources of funding is needed to address Africa’s low level of competitiveness (see Chapter 1.1). Indeed, the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) estimates that Africa will need to invest up to US$93 billion annually until 2020 for both capital investment and maintenance.4 Given the substantial amounts involved, governments will need to be innovative in the search for sustainable approaches to infrastructure development as well as financing. The private sector will need to play an increasingly important role. Governments will do well to create conditions where private-sector engagement is encouraged, probably through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Efficiency gains from performance improvements in infrastructure provision are themselves a significant source of finance,5 and the development of infrastructure bonds as a financing vehicle will need to be encouraged. Adequate maintenance plans are prerequisites for sustainable infrastructure. Maintenance is not only corrective but also preventative because it inspects assets and reduces the risk of failure. Costs associated with statutory maintenance can be substantial—even considerably larger than the value of the asset—yet providing for these maintenance costs is crucial. Without adequate maintenance, infrastructure deteriorates quickly and is unsustainable. Indeed, the longer-term performance of the ICT sector should be reviewed in light of the adequacy of maintenance plans. Thus far, ICT sector performance has been good, albeit from a low base.

Sustainable funding of infrastructure projects - Raffalele DELLA CROCHE, OECD...OECD Governance
This presentation was made by Raffaele DELLA CROCHE, OECD Secretariat, at the 11th Annual Meeting of the OECD Network of Senior PPP and Infrastructure Officials held at the OECD, Paris, on 27 March 2018
The UN explains: Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries. It has long been recognized that growth in productivity and incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes require investment in infrastructure. How the world is doing, metrics defined to measure success span from road access for rural populations, Passenger and freight volumes, manufacturing value-added as a proportion of GDP and per capita and others, what do the metrics say about ongoing projects, what is needed to run project that improves one or more of the established metrics?
Agenda:
To be discussed with subject-matter experts
1. What is a sustainable infrastructure?
2. What do we mean by "sustainable infrastructure for climate change resilience"?
3. In what consists a "sustainable energy infrastructure"?
4. How to secure the critical sustainable infrastructure?
5. What is the process of digital transformation of sustainable infrastructure?
6. How does financing sustainable infrastructure work?
7. Are there best practices in sustainable infrastructure development projects?

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.

"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.

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.

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.
