The revolution in Supply Chain Management is through Digital Technology revolution in Industry 4.0. it brings in Transparency and accountability into the system bringing waste down to minimal. Procurement 4.0, Transportation 4.0, Supply 4.0 or Logistics 4.0, Whatever we may call it is going to change the face of the Industry. Data Analytics is going to make every ones life easy.
It may seem to you as if we live in an Internet of Everything IOE world today. Between smart grids, your connected car, building automation and all the smart devices on the Internet of Things market, it is hard to get away from all the innovation of the fourth industrial revolution. New business models are being developed to improve customer experiences. Keeping Internet of Things secure is a top priority to safeguard personal data.
In the world of warehousing, IoT has taken hold. To speed up the handling, storage and shipping of inventory, warehouses are relying more on IoT-enabled devices including wearables, smart glasses, AMR and AGV. Robotic and artificial intelligence solutions are being utilized in warehouse and logistics operations in concert with warehouse workers to improve performance and reduce errors. Facility managers now can rely on Chuck to be the workhorse of their operation and reduce their dependence on seasonal or unreliable workers.
It’s a different world out there everyone. We all need to get SMART…
Digital Transformation is one of the most important business trends of our time. A lot of research has already been done on this topic. Most research has examined Digital Transformation within organisations, or between organisations
and their customers.
But in today’s globalised and outsourced world, an organisation’s success is no longer dependent on its own efforts alone. Today, the success of an organisation depends largely on how effectively it can orchestrate a vast, global network of supply chain partners to deliver goods and services that meet the needs of individual consumers.
This presentation [which was presented today to mark European Supply Chain Day in Ireland] highlights how the utilisation of digital technologies and processes enable supply chains to be more effectively and efficiently managed, creating business networks and increasing the overall supply chain visibility within the network.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how in improvements in printed electronics, wireless telecom, and the Internet are enabling the greater use of smart logistics. Logistics now represents 10% of global GDP thus representing a large percentage of expenditures. Improvements in printed electronics enables cheaper and better RFID tags and smart packaging; the latter can be accessed by logistic companies and consumers. All of this enables better monitoring of products throughout their journey to the marketplace, on ships, in warehouses, and in retail outlets. It also enables customers to more easily find products in retail outlets and for robots to find products in warehouses.

Webinar Industrial Data Space Association: Introduction and ArchitectureThorsten Huelsmann
Industrial Data Space Association is an industry and user driven initiative to develop a global Industrial Data Space standard and reference architecture which provides data sovereignty. The work bases on use cases and supports certifiable software solutions and business models for the data economy. The Webinar by Lars Nagel and Sebastian Steinbuss gives and overview to the Industrial Data Space initiative and explains the Reference Architecture and ist main components.
For companies, data is only worthwhile if it can be processed. At the same time, a new, comprehensive and generally accepted handling practice has to be anchored in the way data is utilized.
Industrial Data Space is a virtual data space which supports the secure exchange and simple linking of data in business ecosystems on the basis of standards and by using collaborative governance models.
Data is only exchanged if it is requested from trustworthy certified partners. The data owner – i.e. the company – determines who is allowed to use the data in what way. As a result, the partners of one supply chain have joint access to certain data by mutual consent so that they can start something new, develop new business models, design their own processes more efficiently or initiate additional added value processes elsewhere, either alone or together.
This presentation was shown at Digital Transport Days, November 9, 2017.

Digitalisation is both an enabler and a driving force behind innovative business models. A key ability for innovative business models is to be able to combine data in one “ecosystem”: Services are decoupled from physical platforms/products, The architecture levels are decoupled, Products become platforms and vice versa, “Ecosystems“ develop around platforms, Innovation takes place cooperatively.
Data as strategic resource enables smart services, products and our desired lifestyle of the future.

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).

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!

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.
