Making an Impact: How Digitised Resources Change LivesSimon Tanner
This paper will draw upon the research done by the author from a wide number of sources and will provide a compelling account of the advantages of digitised content.
The paper will cover using case studies and exemplars from across the sectors information on:
Where the value and impact can be found in digitised resources,
What modes of value and impact are achievable, and
Who are the beneficiaries gaining from the impact and value?
Special attention is worth paying to the proposal of 5 modes of value for digitised resources. The basic value modes suggested here may act as a guide for future digitisation impact assessment. If these value models to society as a whole are satisfied then many other benefits identified in this paper will also accrue.
This document therefore provides strong information to support:
Fundraising and revenue development plans,
Audience development,
Designing evaluation and impact assessment,
Project planning, and
Planning activities to augment digitised resources.
The aim is to provide key information and strong exemplars for the following primary stakeholders:
Memory institutions and cultural heritage organisations such as libraries, museums and archives.
Holders and custodians of special collections.
Managers, project managers and fundraisers who are seeking to justify further investment in digitised resources.
Academics looking to establish digital projects and digital scholarship collaborations with collection owners.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

17. The reality behind the numbers
Significant investments in science and technology throughout the past
20 years have dramatically increased scientific visibility in the world.
However:
Still the lowest number of patents per 1,000 habitants in Europe;
Commercial exploitation of university patents is largely inexistent;
Tech companies are mostly trapped in a small internal market;
Just a handful of small or medium sized companies are referenced as
world-class in any high tech segment;
Few or no multinationals with established R&D centers;
Little or no international VC investment in Portuguese high tech
companies;
Fleeing highly qualified human capital that is not absorbed by the
economy.
17
18. What has gone wrong?
Scattered investments among many different domains have prevented the
build-up of critical mass.
Entrepreneurship has been hampered by cultural aversion to failure.
University system still captured by the “preparing for a job” view of
education. Fast change to an entrepreneurial view of education is a
national imperative.
No real efforts to transform academic know-how into entrepreneurial
capital.
Lack of international references, both in VC and tech entrepreneurship.
Little effort to attract international venture capital to invest in Portuguese
projects.
Lack of focus in competition in international markets – focus in domestic
markets.
Public funding to High Tech companies mostly not done through equity –
weak alignment of interests with the success of projects.
Public VC investment has not been followed by qualitative support to
companies and entrepreneurs.

32. Is it possible to change? – Lessons from my past life as an entrepreneur
Global success is possible – there is not such thing as a “country curse”.
International references and positioning in international markets are crucial
elements for global competitiveness.
Quality projects can attract international investments.
Global networking is a must.
Our talent can be as good as any talent in the world.
Access to foreign talent is fundamental to complement local know-how and
achieve critical mass.
Execution and sense of urgency are more important than good ideas.
Alignment of incentives among investors and entrepreneurs is fundamental to
induce success.
