EVEOLUTION OF INTERNET AND ITS IMPACTS IN TODAYS WORLDFelixNdem
In ancient times people had ways and patterns of doing things (deriving information, connecting and communicating with people. all these patterns have been highly affected by the advancement of technology, Examples of these strides are the 5G cellular networks, mobile devices and more.
Today’s TV consumer is a highly demanding one. Not only do they want to watch video on any number of screens - from a 50” flat panel to an iPad to the smartphone in their pockets - they want to find, recommend and view TV content using new software frameworks being made available on new connected devices. This coming explosion in software-centric viewing, sharing and consumption will change the digital living room forever. Long standing norms around content discovery, interaction and monetization will change dramatically in coming years.
This is the (slightly modified) presentation that I gave to the US Telecom Association on April 25th, 2013.

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.

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.

• CD: first audio medium that
could be reproduced cheap
without quality loss
• Record labels didn’t anticipate
illegal music via internet
(e.g. Napster, torrents)
9. iTunes
• “The sky was falling, and iTunes provided a place where
we were going to monetize music and in theory stem the
tide of piracy.” - Michael McDonald, ATO Records
• iTunes focused on singles instead of albums :
making all songs seperately

12. Music streaming: tough business case
• free memberships based on
advertisements
• monthly subscriptions for
unlimited account
• content rights per record played
21. TV versus Internet
TV
• TV aggregates media
content into shows,
channels, bouquets
Internet
• Internet disaggregates
media products in clips
and tracks
• ‘shared emotions in
• ‘individual browsing in
familiar surroundings’
• Long content viewing
sessions (30-90 min)
private or semi-public
surroundings’
• Short content viewing
sessions(10-30 min)
22. Competition is following the changing
customer behavior
Vertically
Vertical players are developing new devices
and technologies or exploiting loopholes in
the TV ecosystem to reach the viewer or offer a
VERTICAL
platform for other competitors
Horizontally
Flow of content creation to consumption is
disturbed as all parties (including the customer
itself) are trying to reach the customer directly

23. Content rights remain unresolved issue
• New services have difficulties in obtaining content at
favourable prices due to their small scale
• Possible anticompetitive behaviour on the part of content
providers that are integrated with traditional distribution
channels.
• EU could intervene through policy changes:
o
o
simplify pan-European licensing for online works
lower barriers to (cross-border) distribution of audiovisual content
24. Traditional media clash with new services
• Belgian start-up Bhaalu launched cloud PVR service
Bhaalu is based on the consumer right to make a copy
of any content for personal use.
o Each user must have a valid TV subscription in order to
take advantage of the service providing digital copies of
the content for on-demand viewing later.
o The recordings are centrally managed over
• Broadcasters claim that Bhaalu is illegally distributing their
content.
o
Court will probably decide…
38. Over the top attacks traditional telco services
• SMS is in decline due to
services likes WhatsApp,
iMessage, …
• Voice Skype
• TV Streaming
(Netflix)
• Some telcos block those
services through Deep
packet inspection (DPI)
40. Policy to prevent anti competitive behaviour
• Monitor/Guarantee that no barriers exist to the effective
and competitive deployment of over-the-top services
• Avoid anti-competitive behaviour like blocking of throttling
of these services by telecommunications operators or any
other potential gatekeepers in the value chain.

41. Entertainment as driver for broadband
• Entertainment services are the largest driver for bandwidth
consumption over broadband
• Highly valued services lead to increased willingness to pay
