3rd Workshop on Advances in Slicing for Softwarized Infrastructures (S4SI 2020)
Panel: Network Slicing is multifaceted but does its approach and understanding need to be fragmented?
Abstract: Network Slicing keeps growing in significance in the academic and industrial communities. Network Slicing can be defined from different functional or behavioral perspectives, as well as from different viewpoints depending on the stakeholder (e.g., verticals, solution providers, infrastructure owners) and the technical domain (e.g. cloud data centers, radio access, packet/optical transport networks). Standardization bodies and open source projects are being involved in some forms of network slicing support. How far are these views from each other? Is fragmentation leading to incompatible approaches or is there some hope of convergence, at least at conceptual levels? What is the next frontier in Network Slicing? These and other questions will be thrown to our panel experts after introducing their lightning viewpoints.

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).

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.
