LabVIEW - Teaching Aid for Process ControlIDES Editor
Process Instrumentation deals with measurement
and control process parameters to achieve the required quality.
While teaching process related subjects, it is observed that
students are not able to understand process equipment and
controls associated with it theoretically. So to make the subjects
understandable and interesting, simulation of processes are
carried out with displays as used with distributed control
system (DCS). Simulations are used across virtually in
engineering to improve the development process and design
quality, identify design errors earlier, cut down on physical
prototypes, and reduce time to market. Here dryer, boiler
control simulations are carried out to study dynamic behavior.
Application software LabVIEW is used with control design
and data logging with supervisory (DSC) module.

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.

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.

Experience Makes The Difference
HWI’s Mechanical Engineering team has a broad range of
experience across various product types and industry
segments. Provided with advanced tools and hands-on
knowledge and talent, HWI’s Mechanical Engineers strive to
develop products embracing a concurrent engineering
perspective. This means our development is not done in a
vacuum and then tossed over the wall, but is an integrated
effort with all other design teams, ensuring process flexibility
to adapt to input as necessary. Our experience includes
structural design, mechanism design, packaging, electro-
mechanical design, micro-miniature design, optical/laser
Dynamic Modeling applications, industrial design, and cast, machined and plastic
This solid model, created in part design. HWI also uses advanced testing methods such
SolidWorks, shows the various
components comprising the final as Dynamics Analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA),
assembly. This 3-D modeling which includes stress, vibration, buckling and heat transfer
simulation allows us to perform
“virtual concurrent engineering”, analysis
verifying the fit between the 294
electronic and mechanical
components and sub-assemblies Design Innovation
before expensive prototyping begins.
An innovative design approach is required to meet today’s
ever-shrinking product packaging requirements. HWI’s
experienced Mechanical Design personnel use a combination
of sophisticated tools and broad applications knowledge to
develop custom solutions for each customer project. HWI’s
cross-disciplined concurrent engineering approach ensures a
strong, manufacturable, regulatory compliant, “real-estate”
efficient product for our customer.
Integrated PCB Design Stress Analysis
Integration of the PCB design into the enclosure at Through the use of advanced
an early stage reduces design time and costly computer simulation tools, HWI
