Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
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.

5. CLOUD COMPUTING for Children &
Young People Organisations / Charities
What is Cloud computing?
6. Definition
• Cloud computing is the use of computing
resources (hardware and software) that are
delivered as a service over the internet.
7. Analogy
• Old-School / Non-cloud: An electricity
generator, with its requirements for
space, hardware, petrol, etc., is old-
school, or non-cloud.
• Cloud: Plugging something into the
mains, and paying a monthly
electricity bill only for what you use, is
the ‘cloud’ way of getting your
electricity.
8. What that means for you
• Old-School / Non-cloud: A giant
server rack humming away in your
kitchen
• Cloud: Your IT Server Room fits into
an Ikea wicker basket
13. Poll Question
• Which systems are you considering or
planning to move onto the cloud?
14. EMAIL / CALENDAR / CONTACTS
• Server in the kitchen / data centre that is your problem
– Hardware, maintenance, security is either your
responsibility or an additional cost through a support
company
• Cloud Solutions
– Microsoft Office 365 / Microsoft Live
– Google Apps
– They are in theory responsible for all the problems, but
read the small print to see what that is!
15. FILES
• Old School approach is a server in the kitchen or
under your desk
– Often have to be physically in the office, or
– Require special connectivity software to work from
home
• Dropbox, Amazon, Google Drive (docs), Office 365, Box.net
• Best options depend
– organisation size and needs
– existing hardware
– quality of internet connection
16. COLLABORATION
• Best of breed for single document
collaboration: Google drive, Office 365
• Best of breed for conversations and
discussion:
Yammer, Chatter & Chatter Groups
• Best of Breed Project Management:
Huddle
• Wikis, Sharepoint, LinkedIn
17.
18. Databases
• Salesforce CRM
– Replaces Access / SQL /
Expensive databases
– Free for first 10
licenses, discounted 75% for
additional
20. BYOD
• Sadly, not BYOB…
• Staff ask to Bring Your Own Device
• Agreement needed between organisation
and individual on acceptable use policy
(AUP)
• Lower cost, Low maintenance, possible
with cloud
