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.

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).

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.

Features and Concepts
24. Oracle ASCP respects the following order modifiers (in order)
Fixed Days Supply - FDS
Fixed Order Quantity - FOQ
Fixed Lot Multiplier - FLM
Minimum Order Quantity - MOQ
Maximum Order Quantity - MOQ
Round Order Quantity - ROQ
For ‘buy from’ supply order - Supplier order modifiers, if not then item attribute order modifiers
For ‘make at’ and ‘transfer from’ supply orders - Item attribute order modifiers
Order Modifiers
25. Standard
Supply and demand prioritized on daily basis
Firm supplies are considered
Priority Pegging
Pegged in First Pass in the “Firm Supply Allocation Window”
Demand Window & Supply Window are considered

28. Types of Resources
Lot Based
Resource consumption is independent of the lot size
Same processing time irrespective of the number of items
Can be constrained or unconstrained or unplanned
Typically to model setup time or tact time
E.g. Furnace
Resource consumption is based on units processed
Can be constrained or unconstrained or unplanned
Typically capacity is modeled as item based resource
E.g. Testers

Lot 2 – 1000 Units
Item Resource 1
Process Time 250 units/ hr
Lot2 – 4 hrsLot1 - 8 hrs
To consider a resource as “Constrained” we need to set it as planned and add it to the
Bottleneck Resource Group specified in the plan (incase we are not planning for all
the resources)
30. Resource X
Resource Y
Primary Resource X Start : September-01-2003 End : March-31-2004
Primary Resource Y Start : April-01-2004 End : ∞
September-01-2003 ~ March-31-2004 → Resource X : Primary
Resource Y : Alternate
April-01-2004 ~ ∞ → Resource Y : Primary
Alternate Resource can be set.
• Preferred Resource is judged based on priorities
• Use operation effectivity to switch between primary
and alternate resources
Operation Item A
Alternate Resources
31. Sourcing rules answer the question “From where does plant X get part A”
Bill of Distribution specifies a multilevel replenishment network of warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing
plants and trading partners across multiple organizations
Options – Make at, Buy from or Transfer from
The following are respected by the ASCP Engine
Time–phased replenishment strategy
Splitting demand according to sourcing percentages
Rank to prioritize the sourcing supplier/ organization
Supplier lead time/ order modifiers/ capacity
Alternate movement incase capacity cant meet the demand
Both are assigned to items under an Assignment Set
Sourcing Rule & Bill of Distribution
32. The selections respect supplier capacity based on the following logic:
Rank 1 ‘buy from’ suppliers respecting percentage allocations when available capacity exists for all
suppliers.
Lower ‘buy from’ suppliers if no Rank 1 suppliers have available capacity but the lower rank suppliers
have available capacity.
The primary Rank 1 supplier if there are no suppliers at any rank with any available capacity left. This is
true for both unconstrained and constrained plans.
Sourcing Percentage & Ranks
33. Safety Stock Supply
ASCP traces the “real” supply that resulted in the safety stock supply and pegs the sales order demand to
that supply

34. Forecast Expiration
Customers submit Demand Forecasts over a distributed time horizon and want a commitment on how much of
each weekly forecast quantity can be met on time
If a forecast cannot be met on time, the supply runs late and consumes capacity in future weeks
When many demands are late, it is difficult to tell what forecast quantity could be met on time each week
ASCP takes the following values to consider expiration –
Maximum Allowable Days Late
Maximum Allowable Days Late before Forecast Expiration
35. Fulfill customer demand on time by substituting a more functionally rich product, when the requested item is not
available.
Substitution is done to consume existing inventory of older or meet demand date with a functionally equivalent or
superior item.
Substitution as per rules based on
Direction in which substitution is effective

38. Forecast Spreading & Consumption
Forecast is generated and maintained at an aggregate (week, month, quarter) time level
Desirable to spread the periodic forecast demand evenly across workday calendar to provide a
realistic estimate of the future demand pattern.
Restrict ASCP forecast consumption such that forecasts for any bucket will be consumed by
sales orders for the corresponding forecast bucket only.
39. Item Lead Time
Buy Items
The total lead-time of buy order has three components
pre-processing lead-time (purchase order preparation)
processing lead-time (time vendor needs the order before delivery to your dock)
post processing lead-time (time to move from receiving to inventory)
Lead times logic is in the order of listing:
Processing lead-time as in Approved Supplier list
Item attribute processing lead time
40. Supplier Capacity Constraints
Plan based on Supplier Capacity Constraints
Effectivity dates for time phased capacity definition
Supplier-Specific Lead Times
Delivery/Reception Frequency Calendars
to reflect the days the supplier can deliver the order
Supplier-Specific Order Modifiers for the supplied quantities
Minimum order quantity or Fixed lot multiplier
41. Planned Inventory Points
Major stocking phases in manufacturing cycle
Jobs continue till PIP level even without a valid demand
Schedules the unpegged jobs after the pegged jobs
In semiconductor manufacturing
Wafers processed in furnace oxidize if left for some time
In the Fab after acid cleaning, parts need to be re-cleaned if they are left alone for some time
Between the fab and testing, performance is measured and the production process is adjusted
accordingly. If work orders spend too much time it affects process control and yields.
Planned Inventory Points
43. ASCP supports the following 3 Planning Types / Methods:
Distribution Plan (DRP)
Production Plan (MPS)
Manufacturing Plan (MRP)
• A choice of plan types lets you tailor the degree of subset planning that is performed for the supply chain:
from a single, global supply chain plan down to manually adjusted plans for each item in each organization
of the supply chain.
• The DRP includes distribution requirements for all planned items across multiple organizations.
• The MPS is a statement of supply required to meet the demand for the items contained in an MDS or
another MPS. You can use MPS to level or smooth production so that you effectively utilize capacity to drive
the material requirements plan or distribution requirements plan.
• The MRP calculates net requirements from gross requirements by evaluating the master schedule, bills of
material, on–hand inventory balances, lead times and scheduled receipts etc.
