LISBON: ATLANTIC INNOVATION AND STARTUP CITYPaulo Carvalho
Lisbon strategic vision is clear and ambitious: to position Lisbon as one of the most competitive, innovative and creative cities of Europe.
Our strategy is based on promoting the internationalization and the competitiveness of Lisbon at a global scale. We are working hard and fast to stimulate innovation, creativity and the entrepreneurship spirit in the city making Lisbon a place open to new experiences.
Lisbon is clearly assuming its privileged position as the gateway for the European consumers and an international platform for the Portuguese speaking emergent economies with 250 million consumers.
The strategic position of Lisbon as an “ATLANTIC BUSINESS HUB” aims to attract investment, companies and talents.
The number of INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN LISBON is growing and the city is becoming one of the Erasmus student’s top choices. The project “STUDY IN LISBON” is going to be a web platform with the central objective of attracting and retaining talent, making Lisbon a global hub in the fields of knowledge and innovation.
Lisbon is working very hard to positioning itself as a global STARTUP CITY. Many international entrepreneurs are choosing Lisbon to launch their ideas, products and services positioning itself as one of the top five “Startup Cities” in the World (Source: Entrepreneur magazine).
Lisbon City Council involved a diverse range of partners. The Lisbon Incubators Network which currently includes 11 incubators, adding more than 200 startups and 800 jobs. The network includes 11 business accelerators, 4 FabLabs, 15 coworking spaces and the community of business angels and venture capital investors.
The City is developing an economic policy based in the development of STRATEGIC CLUSTERS an efficient instrument for the gathering of resources and funding. Cluster being developed: Creative Economy; Health and Well Being; Maritime Economy; ICT/Web; Tourism; Retail and Commerce.

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.
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).
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
