The Cloud is the perfect extension for mobile applications. Mobile apps don’t exist in a vacuum, you never know if you’ll have 10 or 10,000 users, and sooner or later you’ll need to save user data in the cloud, perform operations server-side for enhanced scalability, or monitor data feeds to push notifications to your mobile users. Microsoft Azure provides the best infrastructure for mobile developers across all platforms thanks to cross-platform storage, authentication and push notification services, all residing in the cloud. This session explores how you can build cloud-enabled cross-platform applications for iOS, Android and Windows 10 using native SDKs and Microsoft Azure Mobile App Services. You’ll learn how to authenticate users via Microsoft, Google, Facebook or Twitter credentials, store data remotely in NoSQL tables and blob storage, and even how to send push notifications to all vendor platforms, all through live cross-platform demos. Whether you’re a weekend warrior building consumer apps or a corporate mobile developer building apps for the enterprise, the cloud is the perfect companion for your mobile apps. Come learn how easy it is to harness its power.

Building Mobile Cross-Platform Apps foriOS, Android & Windows in C# with Xam...

Nick Landry

Building native applications across multiple platforms is hard. iOS requires knowledge of Xcode, the iOS SDK and Objective-C or Swift. Android requires Eclipse Android Studio, the Android SDK and Java. The Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform requires Visual Studio, C# and the UWP/WinRT SDK. Are we really expected to learn all of this? You can take the HTML5 & Cordova route, but not all apps should be built using a hybrid approach. If you want to create a truly competitive app with a premium experience, you’ll need to go native. Fortunately, there is a way you can share a lot of your code across mobile platforms and do so using the C# language you already know and love. Xamarin is a powerful toolset that allows developers to write native Android and iOS apps using C#, thanks to the Mono framework – an Open Source project that brings the C# language and .NET to other platforms. This session explores how you can build cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 using C#. You’ll learn how to get started with a sample cross-platform solution, which tools you can use, how to design a proper user interface for each platform and how to structure your projects for maximum code reuse. We’ll also look at how you can share UI code with Xamarin.Forms. Native mobile development doesn’t have to be so hard. Come learn how your .NET skills can be transformed for true cross-platform development.

Building a New Generation of Mobile Games with Speech

Nick Landry

“Would you like to play a game of chess?” Ever since 2001: A Space Odyssey, we’ve been dreaming of computers who can converse with us like HAL9000 or the Star Trek computers. Or maybe you’re part of the new generation of geeks dreaming of Halo’s Cortana? Thanks to the new advances and SDKs for speech recognition and synthesis (aka text-to-speech), we are now several steps closer to this reality. Speech can be used to create a whole new generation of mobile games, from new input methods to immersion, as well as creating games for the disabled. This session explores the design models and development techniques you can use to add speech recognition to your mobile games, including in-app commands, standard & custom grammars, and voice commands usable outside your game. We’ll also see how your games can respond to the user via speech synthesis, opening-up a new world of hands-free scenarios. This reality is here, you’ll see actual live demos with speech and you can now learn how to do it using technologies available today.

Lastly we’ll go over the app packaging and how to submit your Universal apps to the Windows Store. The converged Windows Platform is more efficient and far-reaching than ever. Come learn how to build mobile apps for hundreds of millions of Windows device users.

From Oculus to HoloLens: Building Virtual & Mixed Reality Apps & Games

Nick Landry

For over 35 years, we have been content with using a keyboard and monitor to interact with computers. The mouse, touch screen and other input devices have transformed how to communicate with computers, but screens of all sizes – from 1” to 80” – have all always been the de facto method to perceive the primary output from our microcomputers and devices. Until now. The Oculus Rift aims to be the first mainstream consumer device for Virtual Reality (VR), while Microsoft’s HoloLens merges the real world with the virtual via holograms to create advanced mixed reality (MR) scenarios (also known as augmented reality, or AR). This session is your introduction to building AR & MR applications and games using C#, Visual Studio and Unity. We’ll review many of the hardware options, their respective SDKs and how to design real-world scenarios for both the consumer space and the enterprise. We’ll also look at 3D development environments like Unity to bring to life complex scenarios. Mixed and Virtual Reality projects are no longer a dream. The technology is here. The hardware is here. The tools and SDKs are here. Come learn how to get started and build experiences beyond anything you ever imagined.

Windows 10 IoT Core - Inovasyon Haftasi - TİM

İbrahim KIVANÇ

https://twitter.com/ikivanc http://blog.microsoft.com.tr/?p=28641 Windows 10 IoT Core Geçtiğimiz günlerde Raspberry Pi 2 ve MinnowBoard Max için Windows 10 IoT Core sürümünü büyük bir heyecanla kullanıma sunduk. Sürüme genel bir bakış atıyoruz. Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’den de pek çok firma, Windows 10 IoT Core sürümünü test ederek kendi ekosistemlerinde kullanmak için çalışmalara başladı. Windows 10 IoT Core temelinde küçük ve gömülü sistemleri, ekranlı veya ekransız kullanımlı cihazları hedefleyen kompakt bir Windows sürümü. Windows 10 IoT Core sayesinde çok daha küçük cihazlarda da Windows 10 ‘u çalıştırabiliyoruz. Nerelerde kullanılır? Önümüzdeki günlerde ATM’lerde, kiosk’larda, otomatik satış makinelerinde, akıllı ev sistemlerinde ve günlük hayatta pek çok noktada bu cihazları görmemiz muhtemel. Teknik detaylar Windows 10 IoT Core sürümü konusundaki bilgileri ve örnek referans projeleri Windows IoT Geliştirme Merkezi’nde bulabilirsiniz. Kullanmak istediğiniz devre kartını seçerek, gerekli geliştirme araçlarını indirebilir ve istediğiniz uygulamaları geliştirmeye başlayabilirsiniz. Windows 10 IoT Core’u kullanarak uygulama geliştirmek için Windows 10 son sürümü (10240 ve sonrası sürümler) ve Visual Studio 2015’i indirmeniz yeterli. Uygulama geliştirmek için tek yapmanız gereken IoT cihazınız ve geliştirme yaptınız bilgisayarın aynı ağ bağlantısında bulunması yeterli. Cihaz üzerindeki Windows’larda alışık olduğumuz Windows arayüzü bulunmadığı için uygulama geliştirdiğiniz PC’nizden bu cihazları yönetebilirsiniz. Windows 10 PC/Tablet ve telefon için geliştirdiğiniz Universal Windows Platform uygulamalarınızda istediğiniz takdirde farklı arayüzler tanımlayabilirsiniz. Son sürümü çıkar çıkmaz ben de Raspberry Pi 2 cihazımda Window 10 IoT Core’u test ederek ilk uygulamalarımı geliştirdim, ilk deneyimlerim ise aşağıdaki şekilde oldu: ◦Öncelikle sensörlerle haberleşebilmek için temel elektronik devreler bilgilerinizin olması gerekmekte. ◦Daha öncesinde .NET, C# ve XAML ile uygulama geliştirme deneyimiz varsa çok rahat bir şekilde IoT çözümler geliştirebildiğinizi görebilirsiniz. ◦Windows 10 için özel geliştirdiğiniz Universal Windows Platform uygulamalarınızı direkt olarak IoT cihazlarınızın üzerine yükleyebilmek gerçekten güzel bir deneyim. Burada dikkat edilmesi gereken nokta kullanım senaryosundaki uyumluluk ve arayüzün (eğer ekran kullanacaksanız) buna uyumlu olarak çalışması. ◦Bulut tarafında Windows IoT Core ile Azure servislerine çok rahat bir şekilde bağlarak, tıpkı Windows mağaza uygulamalarınızda olduğu gibi arkasında Azure olan çözümler geliştirebilirsiniz. ◦Visual Studio ve PowerShell aracılığıyla cihaza kolay bir şekilde uygulamanızı yükleyebilir ve cihaz yönetim/konfigurasyonu yapabiliyorsunuz. Sonraki yazılarımızda bunlara detaylı bir şekilde eğileceğiz. Daha fazla detaylı bilgi için resmi blog yazısını okuyabilirsiniz. http://blog.microsoft.com.tr/?p=28641

Bots are the New Apps: Building with the Bot Framework & Language Understanding

Nick Landry

Bots (or conversation agents) are rapidly becoming an integral part of your users’ digital experience – they are as vital a way for users to interact with a service or application as is a web site or a mobile experience. Developers writing bots all face the same problems: bots require basic I/O; they must have language and dialog skills; and they must connect to users – preferably in any conversation experience and language the user chooses. In this session, you will learn how to build and connect intelligent bots to interact with your users naturally wherever they are, from text/sms to Skype, Slack, Facebook, Office 365 mail and other popular services. We will explore the Microsoft Bot Framework, which provides just what you need to build and connect intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking. Through live demos, we’ll cover the Bot Connector in the cloud, the Bot Build SDK with C# (Node.js is also supported) and we’ll also explore how to handle natural language input from the user with the Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS) from Microsoft Cognitive Services. Every business needs bots to provide a more personal experience to its users and customers. Come learn how you can build your own bots in just a few hours.

Cognitive Services: Building Smart Apps with Speech, NLP & Vision

Nick Landry

Your computer can recognize your voice and detect words in a speech dictation, but can it truly understand the meaning of what you are saying? Can it analyze your intent and respond accordingly? You don’t need a PhD in artificial intelligence to integrate speech and natural language understanding in your projects. Microsoft Cognitive Services (aka “Project Oxford”) is a portfolio of cloud-based REST APIs and SDKs powered by Machine Learning which enable developers to write applications which understand the content within the rapidly growing set of multimedia data. Cognitive Services API services will help you understand and interact with audio, text, image, and video. In this session, we’ll start with an overview of available services for speech recognition and speech synthesis. Then we’ll explore through live demos how to leverage the Language Understanding Intelligent Service which lets you determine intent, detect entities in user speech and improve language understanding models to more efficiently work with user data. Lastly, we’ll leverage Computer Vision APIs to detect human faces, analyze the content of images, and perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to detect and analyze words within a photo. Come learn how your apps can tap into the same active learning services behind the brain of Cortana, and get started writing smart applications that can understand what your users are saying.

Building Mixed Reality Experiences for Microsoft HoloLens in Unity

Nick Landry

Microsoft HoloLens is the world’s first self-contained, untethered head-mounted holographic computing device for Mixed Reality (MR). Mixed reality blends 3D holographic content into your physical world, giving your holograms real-world context and scale, allowing you to interact with both digital content and the world around you. HoloLens lets you go beyond the screen, with Holograms that let you visualize and work with your digital content in relation to your real world, unlocking new insights and capabilities. This session is your introduction to building 3D Mixed Reality applications and games using C#, Visual Studio and Unity. We’ll start with a quick recap of the HoloLens device and the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), and follow with an introduction to 2D vs. 3D holographic apps. and talk about interacting with a holograms using gaze, gestures and voice. Next we’ll dive into building 3D holographic apps in Unity with C#, using the HoloToolkit for Unity, exporting our project to Visual Studio and running it on either a HoloLens device or the HoloLens Emulator. Science fiction becomes science fact, and Unity developers are at the front of this revolution. Come learn how to get started and build your journey into a world of holograms you create.

Developing Windows Phone Apps with Maps and Location Services

Nick Landry

This session will not teach you why we are on Earth, but it will teach you how to find out where we are on it. Looking for the user? Find the phone. Thanks to standard built-in Location Services and hybrid positioning hardware, every Windows Phone knows where it is. In this session, ActiveNick shows you how to build a truly “smart” phone application by adding Location Intelligence Services (LIS) to it. Using Microsoft Visual Studio, the Windows Phones SDK and other geospatial APIs from Nokia, Google and Bing Maps, you will learn how to locate the device in the world using the phone GPS and other Location Services, display maps and manipulate them with touch gestures, geocode addresses into lat/long pairs, and display the results on a map using pushpins, UI elements and more. We’ll discuss the various mapping technologies, SDKs and APIs in the GIS world and explore how Windows Phone apps can participate in geospatial circles. Location Intelligence is a natural extension of mobility: Come learn how it’s done.

Building Connected IoT Gadgets with Particle.io & Azure

Nick Landry

The Internet of Things (IoT) extends your reach as a software developer into the world of diverse hardware devices controlled by your code, and powered by the cloud. Connectivity is a key component in IoT. Without it, all you have is a normal “thing” that is always offline. Connecting devices isn’t always easy however, requiring custom chips, boards or shields and their associated drivers & libraries. A new generation of maker boards is now emerging – many thanks to successful crowdfunding campaigns – featuring built-in wireless hardware and everything you need to easily connect to the cloud. One of the most popular of such boards is the Particle Photon (formerly known as Spark, see https://www.particle.io) which features a built-in Wi-Fi in a small & affordable package. The Photon is a $19 development kit for creating Wi-Fi connected products, and the spiritual sequel of the Spark Core. Particle uses Wiring, the same code framework as Arduino. This session is your introduction to building connected IoT gadgets with Particle hardware. We’ll explore the hardware & shield options, and the software platform used to program it, including both the Web and desktop IDEs. We’ll cover device setup, the command-line interface, and debugging tools. Next we’ll look at common maker scenarios and we’ll connect our gadgets to Azure – including IoT Hubs, Event Hubs and Mobile App Services – and integrate our cloud solutions with Particle’s REST API. Beginner and veteran makers are welcome to join.

Building Windows 10 Universal Apps with Speech and Cortana

Nick Landry

Can you hear me now? Move over Siri, Cortana is the new star in town and with her comes an army of speech-enabled mobile & desktop applications on Windows 10. Mobile applications are not always easy to work with due to the small screen and small on-screen keyboard. Using our voice is a natural form of communication amongst humans, and ever since 2001’s HAL9000 and Star Trek, we’ve been dreaming of computers who can converse with us like Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. Or maybe you’re part of the new generation of Halo geeks dreaming of Cortana? Thanks to the new Windows 10 SDK for speech recognition and speech synthesis (aka text-to-speech), we are now several steps closer to this reality. This session explores the development techniques you can use to add speech recognition to your Windows 10 applications, including in-app commands, standard & custom grammars, and voice commands usable outside of your app with Cortana. We’ll also see how your apps can respond to the user via speech synthesis, opening-up a new world of hands-free scenarios, and explore new features in Windows 10 like background voice commands and continuous dictation.

Beyond Cortana & Siri: Using Speech Recognition & Speech Synthesis for the Ne...

Nick Landry

Our society has a problem. Individuals are hooked on apps, phones, tablets and social networking. We created these devices and these apps that have become a core part of our lives but we stopped short. We failed to recognize some of the problematic situations where our apps are used. People are texting, emailing and chatting while driving. Pedestrians walk into busy intersections and into sidewalk hazards because they refuse to put their phone down. We cannot entirely blame them. We created a mobile revolution, and now we just can’t simply ask them to put it on hold when it’s not convenient. It’s almost an addiction and too often it has led to fatal results. Furthermore, mobile applications are not always easy to work with due to the small screen and on-screen keyboard. Other people struggle to use traditional computing devices due to handicaps. Using our voice is a natural form of communication amongst humans. Ever since 2001: A Space Odyssey, we’ve been dreaming of computers who can converse with us like HAL9000 or the Star Trek computers. Or maybe you’re part of the new generation of geeks dreaming of Halo’s Cortana? Thanks to the new advances and SDKs for speech recognition and synthesis (aka text-to-speech), we are now several steps closer to this reality. Siri is not the end game, she’s the beginning. This session explores the design models and development techniques you can use to add voice recognition to your mobile applications, including in-app commands, standard & custom grammars, and voice commands usable outside your app. We’ll also see how your apps can respond to the user via speech synthesis, opening-up a new world of hands-free scenarios. This reality is here, you’ll see actual live cross-platform demos with speech and you can now learn how to do it. Speech support is not just cool or a convenience, it should be a necessity in many apps.

Building Mobile Cross-Platform Apps with HTML5, jQuery Mobile & PhoneGap

Nick Landry

The final demo for this presentation can be downloaded at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9j09wip6wz84b61/JSDevConMobile-JQM-PhoneGap-Demo.zip SESSION ABSTRACT ================= Write Once, Run Everywhere. How many times have we been promised true cross-platform development? HTML5 seems to be the closest we’ve ever been to writing applications once and running them on multiple mobile devices, such as iOS, Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry. But native mobile apps have taken all the spotlight in recent years thanks to the introduction of hundreds of thousands of apps in various app stores from Apple, Google, Microsoft and BlackBerry. Apps offer a great native platform experience, but they can be expensive to build and require specific languages, SDKs and skill sets across multiple platforms. Mobile web sites offer a great way to engage with consumers and corporate workers alike without requiring the installation of any app, and can in turn be adapted as deployable "hybrid" apps. This session explores the fundamentals of native vs. web apps, and how to choose the right approach for any given scenario. We begin with an exploration of the benefits of web development for smartphones using the most popular HTML5 & JavaScript framework for mobile: jQuery Mobile (JQM). We’ll go over a quick primer on HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, followed by everything you need to get started with JQM. We’ll cover the most common development environment options, how to build your first jQuery Mobile page, and how to debug your mobile web code with some of the available tools. We’ll also discuss how to develop a native-like experience on each mobile platform thanks to JQM’s adaptive rendering, and how to save and retrieve data with the cloud using Microsoft Azure Mobile Services. We'll then learn how to leverage PhoneGap to wrap our mobile web UI into a native smartphone or tablet app. Discover how PhoneGap exposes native device hardware like cameras, sensors, GPS and more. We’ll also discuss the pros and cons of PhoneGap-based apps, how to deal with the UI design guidelines across platforms, and learn some do’s and don’ts of cross-platform mobile development. Native mobile apps have their place for mass market revenue-generating models, but you also need to master cross-platform techniques when the situation calls for it such as in enterprise mobility scenarios and other niche areas. Web development is a critical skill required by every mobile developer; come learn how to get started and reach hundreds of millions of users through a smart mobile web & hybrid approach.

Developing with Speech and Voice Recognition in Mobile Apps

Nick Landry

Can you hear me now? Move over Siri, here comes an army of speech-enabled mobile applications on Windows Phone. Mobile applications are not always easy to work with due to the small screen and small on-screen keyboard. Using our voice is a natural form of communication amongst humans, and ever since 2001: A Space Odyssey, we’ve been dreaming of computers who can converse with us like HAL9000. Or maybe you’re part of the new generation of geeks dreaming of Cortana? Thanks to the new Microsoft SDKs for voice recognition and speech synthesis (aka text-to-speech), we are now several steps closer to this reality. This session explores the development techniques you can use to add voice recognition to your Windows Phone applications, including in-app commands, standard & custom grammars, and voice commands usable outside your app. We’ll also see how your apps can respond to the user via speech synthesis, opening-up a new world of hands-free scenarios.

The Great Mobile Debate: Native vs. Hybrid App Development

Nick Landry

It’s not easy being a mobile developer. iOS and Android dominate the market, Windows Phone is climbing into third place, and we’re not really sure if BlackBerry still matters. Do you focus on one platform or many? What size of the mobile population do you really want to reach? Each mobile platform comes with its own programming languages, SDKs, IDEs and application lifecycle & architecture. Are we really expected to learn all of this? Isn’t HTML5 supposed to be the Silver Bullet so we can finally write apps once and run them everywhere? This session will demystify all these questions, walking you through the modern mobile ecosystem, and explore your options as a developer. We’ll review the native story on each major platform, discuss the pros & cons of both mobile native and web development, cover some of the cross-platform solutions available to developers, and explore best practices and guidelines to insure a successful mobile strategy. Don’t just blindly pick a side or assume that “one size fits all”, this session covers one of the most hotly contested debates in modern IT. Come join us and be a part of the conversation.

Mobile Dev For Web Devs

Justin James

Mobile application development does not need to be difficult for us Web Developers. No longer do we need to learn a whole slew of new programming languages to create a mobile application. We can use our existing skills and create mobile applications with Html, JavaScript, and CSS. Then deploy to Android and iOS devices using a single code base that looks, feels, and performs like a native mobile application. Apache Cordova enables the packaging of our web code into the mobile application that we will deploy to the App Stores but it does not include a UI framework. For the UI framework, we will be using Ionic framework. The Ionic framework takes the worry out of making the UI look, feel and perform correctly on the slew different Apple and Android devices that your users will have. It allows you to focus on your business logic and not the underlying infrastructure. Your time to market will be greatly reduced. In addition to the free, open-sourced framework, Ionic also has a slew of highly useful cloud based tools that you can pay for it you need them such as Push Notifications, User Authentication, Native Builds, and Live Updates. Push Notifications allows targeted pushes and custom scheduling to improve push notification engagements. User Authentication provides a single authentication solution with email & password authentication, as well as third-party providers like Facebook, Twitter, Google and more. Native Builds turns your code into the native app binaries for the Apple and Android with a single command. Finally, Live Updates gives you the ability to push updates and UI changes to your user immediately without going through the app stores. In this talk we will dive into what it takes to get started, look at the features of the Ionic framework and finish off by creating a sample application with the Ionic framework. You will walk away from this talk with all of the tools that you need to deliver your first mobile application

Top Java Script Frameworks For Mobile App Development

ValueCoders

9 Top JavaScript Frameworks for Mobile 1) PhoneGap/Cordova PhoneGap (distribution of Apache Cordova) is a software development framework that helps you to reuse your existing web development skills to quickly make hybrid mobile applications built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Hence, this is not exactly a JavaScript framework, however, it’s important for you to know about PhoneGap before you get started. 2) Titanium Appcelerator’s Titanium is an open source application development platform that allows to create native apps (mobile and desktop) using web technologies, such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. The Titanium Mobile SDK is one of the most popular cross-platform mobile development solution in use today with over 916109 mobile developers and 460, 587, 474 devices are running Accelerator powered apps. 3) jQuery Mobile jQuery Mobile framework takes the “write less, do more” agenda to a next level. It is one of the top JavaScript frameworks for mobile to build an application or mobile friendly website. jQuery Mobile supports a number of user interfaces that are compatible with modern platforms such as Android, iOS and to the earliest of platforms such as Opera Mini and Nokia Symbian. With the help of PhoneGap you can integrate your jQuery web app code to an interactive iOS or Android application. 4) Sencha Touch Sencha Touch(similar to Ext JS) is said to be the only framework that offers optimal solutions to developers create fast and impressive mobile applications that work on Android, iOS, Kindle Fire, and more. It comes with lots of creative and useful components that work efficiently on all types of mobile applications. Here is a glimpse of the features. 5) React Native If you are fond of Native mobile applications, you are majorly left with two options- Xamarin and React Native. Xamarin allows you only to write the same kind of code while programming natively – similar interface design tools & similar calls. 6) Meteor Meteor is yet another JavaScript framework that can help you develop in interactive mobile applications. Meteor not only allows your JavaScript code for mobile apps but also it gives you ongoing control over your app. With this feature you can update the JavaScript code without developer’s help and use the hot code push function to immediately deploy the changes to users on all mobile platforms.

Nick Landry

Bots (or conversation agents) are rapidly becoming an integral part of your users’ digital experience – they are as vital a way for users to interact with a service or application as is a web site or a mobile experience. Developers writing bots all face the same problems: bots require basic I/O; they must have language and dialog skills; and they must connect to users – preferably in any conversation experience and language the user chooses. In this session, you will learn how to build and connect intelligent bots to interact with your users naturally wherever they are, from text/sms to Skype, Slack, Facebook, e-mail and other popular services. We will explore the Microsoft Bot Framework, which provides just what you need to build and connect intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking. Through live demos, we’ll cover the Bot Connector in the cloud, the open source Bot Build SDK with ASP.NET WebAPI & C# (Node.js is also supported) and we’ll also explore how to handle natural language input from the user with the Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS) from Microsoft Cognitive Services. Every business needs bots to provide a more personal experience to its users and customers. Come learn how you can build your own bots in just a few hours.

Lessons Learned from Real World Xamarin.Forms Projects

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. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.

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.
