The challenge of infrastructure and long term investmentBob Prieto
In July of this year I had the opportunity to participate in a high level roundtable discussion in support of the Post-2015 development and climate change agendas of the United Nations. The focus of the panel discussion was to identify potential “moments” and “movements” that could represent game changing and enabling opportunities for implementation of each of these agendas.

In July of this year I had the opportunity to participate in a high level roundtable discussion in support of the Post-2015 development and climate change agendas of the United Nations. The focus of the panel discussion was to identify potential “moments” and “movements” that could represent game changing and enabling opportunities for implementation of each of these agendas. During our deliberations we identified long term investment in infrastructure and improvements to the infrastructure prioritization and delivery processes as a primary challenge and opportunity.
At one level this is readily understandable but at another level, the strength and importance of infrastructure to achieving these broad global agendas had never been so directly and strongly linked. This was made all the more important given the diversity of backgrounds represented in the discussion.
Through their deliberations the panel outlined a long term vision and roadmap for implementation including identification of a potential “grand challenge” to act as a centerpiece for a relevant “movement” in support of these development and climate change agendas.

Colm McClements - How can more effective project identification, prioritizati...GIZ Moldova
Regional development projects require effective identification, prioritization, and preparation. Three key factors are identified.
First, regional development strategies and plans need to identify projects early to ensure focus and efficient use of resources. Some resistance exists to identifying projects early, but deferring identification has negative consequences.
Second, an effective approach uses a "smart" form of regional planning that rapidly identifies feasible programs and projects through a disciplined multi-stage project pathway and pipeline management process.
Third, developing a large project pipeline requires certain conditions and capacities, including good programming that leads to project identification, programming and development expertise, management and monitoring competencies, and engagement of regional actors as facilitators working closely with project implementers.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

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).

Model for an integrated and implementation-oriented revitalisation process
Model for an integrated and implementation-oriented
revitalisation process
Characteristics of an integrated and implementation-oriented process
Comprehensive approach – cross-thematic and cross-technical/sectoral
− taking into account all dimensions of urban life in an interdisciplinary approach (city as place to
live and work)
Co-operative and communicative process
− Developing common objectives and actions (within the public institutions as with concerned
private actors needed for the implementation)
− Coordinating sectoral urban policies and action
− Coordinating public and private activities
Implementation-oriented
− At the end activities will be implemented
These characteristics are at the same time preconditions for a successful, integrated process.
Main (pre-)conditions for a successful integrated revitalisation process
− Build up trust between the involved stakeholders (do not involve each single person, concen-
trate on the key stakeholders);
− Bring together stakeholders from different fields with their multifaceted interests to make them
understand each others needs;
− Develop with the stakeholders a common vision, goals and actions for the historic town to
get them all in one direction;
− Involve the mayor and political parties in the process (get their support);
− Define qualities to be present in the whole town (develop a vision/ strategy for the entire town);
− Public money for public actions/ public benefit;
− Comprehensive approach – cross-thematic and cross-technical/sectoral – taking into account
all dimensions of urban life in an interdisciplinary approach (city as place to live and work);
− Good governance and leadership (management and steering capabilities);
− Effective instruments and skilled personnel with sufficient time capacities for the implemen-
tation/ management of actions (action plan);
− Finances.

Model for an integrated and implementation-oriented revitalisation process
Main obstacles for a successful integrated revitalisation process
− Conflicts between preservation needs of the built-cultural heritage and the need to adapt it to
economic demands
− Conflict of uses of the public space
− In general conflicting interests
− Property owners see only their property, not the effects on the whole area
− Mobilising property owners for the common good of the area; too many property owners
− Property owners/ private enterprises often do not invest if the benefit is “just” in the long run
− General competition between private enterprises complicates good cooperation (lack of trust)
− Lack of trust in politicians/ administration by private stakeholder
− Lack of common sense/ comprehension of single stakeholders what is “good” for the historic
centre
− Difference between short-term thinking of politicians and long-term needs
− Missing (quality) standards for project management; staff is not qualified (lack of professional-
ism)
12 steps of an integrated and implementation-oriented revitalisation process

Project part-financed by the European Union
3. Hist.Urban: INTERREG IIIB CADSES
Model for an integrated and implementation-oriented revitalisation process
Explanations of the 12 steps
A. Preparation phase
1. Defining the objectives
The municipality has to define the objective of the revitalisation process, i.e.
− Development of common objectives, concepts, plans and actions;
− Sound and balanced functions in the historic centre, serving the needs of the different
users, preventing conflicts and preserving the built-cultural heritage.
3. Defining the thematic field of actions
The main field of actions have to be defined which are addressed by the revitalisation proc-
ess. These could be e.g. cultural heritage, tourism, local economy, quality of life, traffic,
housing, etc. The field of actions will differ from town to town depending on their problems,
potentials and objectives.
2. Defining and activating the stakeholders to be involved in the process
People/ organisations that have something at stake or are effected by the field of actions
have to be identified and activated to participate in the revitalisation process (local stake-
holder) to gain their support or prevent that they impede on what was decided on. Stake-
holders who generally should be involved are i.e. politicians, public authorities/ heads of de-
partment relevant for the field of actions, media (as communicator), local and informal inter-
est and advocacy groups, multipliers/ local opinion leaders.
4. Setting up the organisation, cooperation and communication structure
To secure the cross-thematic and cross-technical/sectoral approach as the cooperative,
communicative and implementation-oriented process an adequate organisation, cooperation
and communication structure has to be set up and implemented.
This step links directly the preparation with the planning phase (floating transition).
B. Planning phase
5. Analysis of current situation
The involved actors have to capture, analyse and assess the strength, weakness, opportuni-
ties and threats for the relevant area within the field of actions.
7. Development of main vision
The involved actors develop a common vision to which all want to contribute and all actions
will be directed to.
6. Deducting of objectives and strategies
From the main vision (short-, mid- and long-term) concrete objectives and strategies for each
field of action are deducted, securing a coordination between them.
8. Formulating of concrete actions and projects
From the objectives and strategies concrete (short-, mid- and long-term) actions, projects
and programs for each field of action are deducted.
This step functions as a link from the planning to the implementation phase and fades di-
rectly to step 9 (floating transition).

4. Hist.Urban: INTERREG IIIB CADSES
Model for an integrated and implementation-oriented revitalisation process
C. Implementation phase
9. Checking the chances of implementation of each project/ action
Here the chances of implementing successfully the actions, projects or programs for the in-
tegrated revitalisation are examined by checking if all necessary resources (finances, pre-
conditions, responsibilities, time schedule, know-how and personnel, etc.) are available or if
projects have to be adapted to the current situation. The result will be fixed in an action plan.
10.Implementing the actions/ projects
The actions, projects and programs are implemented according to the action plan by the in-
volved actors.
11.Monitoring/ controlling the implementation and success/ effects of the actions/ pro-
jects
The implementation and effects of the actions, projects and programs (action plan) are moni-
tored to take corrective actions if necessary.
12.Evaluating the process
To improve not only the actions/ projects but also the whole process before “starting the
process again”, the process will be evaluated and adapted according to the findings, be-
cause the integrated revitalisation process is an ongoing cycle.
Starting from the “beginning” again (‘continuous improvement process’).
