This document summarizes a presentation by Suhaimi Nordin on MSC Malaysia's contributions to the agriculture sector. The presentation discusses ICT adoption in agriculture, challenges facing the sector, and benefits of ICT. It also outlines several of MDeC's agriculture projects, including the ECR-CIR central item registry, FarmersDirect.com e-commerce platform, smart card initiatives, and food traceability systems. The presentation concludes that ICT can help increase productivity, profitability, and access global markets for Malaysian farmers.
Malaysia’s importance came into existence due to its central location in the ASEAN countries. The international trade has made great jumps in using ICT as a driving factor to reduce cost in global trade. The enhancement of Information and Communication Technology made an impressive transformation of economic environment. Malaysia is considered one of the key points for import and export in the region; thus the government has made large investments in building advanced and high tech infrastructure to meet the increasingly demand for higher speeds and advanced communication facilities.
Malaysia Smart Digital Nation. White Paper. Accelerating a Smart Digital NationPeerasak C.
1.FOREWORD
Dear Reader, We live in an ever more competitive world. It is a world in which these competitive pressures are being applied to nation states, businesses and to the individual. Within this context, many nations are looking for ways to increase their productivity and competitiveness whilst preserving the culture, lifestyle and quality of life which define their sense of who they are as a people.
Malaysia is taking up the challenge; ambitious development targets have been set over the next five years and these targets have the potential to transform both the Malaysian economy and its people. The Vision 2020 and 11MP have laid the foundation for achieving these development targets and with this in mind. In this whitepaper, Huawei has outlined the technological aspect of the Smart Digital Nation vision; it is a journey on which we are excited to partner with Malaysia.
A Smart Digital Nation, will use the tools of the new digital economy, connected by a well developed network, to deliver a more productive, prosperous and innovative nation for all Malaysians. It is our firm belief that the Digital Economy offers the potential to radically transform the way Malaysians live, work and play. It has the potential to make industries even more productive and competitive and enable open lines of communication between public and public services. In order to achieve a Smart Digital Nation, four core elements are needed:
• A common ICT Vision for the nation.
• Unified Digital Governance to provide policies and a planning framework.
• Partnerships with businesses, enterprises, higher education and individuals.
• A common supporting ICT infrastructure.
The potential benefits for Malaysia are huge as a Smart Digital Malaysia will deliver important benefits to the nation:
• Higher paying jobs to retain and attract skilled people.
• Enhanced rural economic growth, services and social opportunity.
• Transformed existing industries – Tourism, Transport, Manufacturing and Agriculture.
• The establishment of new dynamic industries.
• Dramatically enhanced Government and Public Services – Education, Healthcare, Public Safety and Utilities.
We appreciate the foresight by the Malaysian government for starting this transformation journey.
Huawei is committed to supporting this digital transformation using world’s best practice gained from our experience in partnerships within more than 140 countries around the globe. Huawei has been in Malaysia for over 14 years. We are dedicated to the development of this diverse nation and are a proud Malaysian corporate citizen with 2,300 staff in Malaysia, 75% of which are recruited locally. It is our belief that a Better Connected and Smart Digital Malaysia will have a prosperous future and we look forward to being an integral part of building that future for all Malaysians.
Presentation given by Amirudin bin Abdul Wahab, Head of ICT Policy Cluster, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Malaysia on August 2nd, 2011 at eWorld Forum (www.eworldforum.net) in the session ICT Leader's Conclave
As the 4th Industrial Revolution becomes our new reality, it finds SADC region better-placed to contribute to it as much as benefit from it. SADC is coordinated and focused; unlike during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Industrial Revolutions.

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.
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).

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.
