VIII Lisbon EACD Debate focused on "Financial communications: rebuilding trust and confidence", sponsored by Hotel Altis and Optimus, 9th november, 2011
First National Bank Stadium or simply FNB Stadium, also known as Soccer City and The Calabash, is a stadium located in Nasrec, the Soweto area of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located next to the South African Football Association headquarters (SAFA House) where both the FIFA offices and the Local Organising Committee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup were housed.[2] Designed as the main association football stadium for the World Cup, the FNB Stadium became the largest stadium in Africa with a capacity of 94,736. However its maximum capacity during the 2010 FIFA World Cup was 84,490 due to reserved seating for the press and other VIPs. The stadium is also known by its nickname "The Calabash" due to its resemblance to the African pot[3] or gourd.
It was the site of Nelson Mandela's first speech in Johannesburg after his release from prison.[4] It was also the site of Chris Hani's funeral.[4]
It was also the venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, which was played by the Netherlands and Spain.

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.
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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

Student Generated Blogs 10th Grade Non-Fiction Assignment Atlantic Monthly http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/current Economist http://www.economist.com/ Scope: What is the focus of the content of the magazine? Why types of articles does it include? What are the subjects of their blogs? Purpose: What is the purpose of this magazine? To persuade the reader to do something? Inform the reader? Prove something? Audience: Who is the intended audience for this magazine? How can you tell? Objectivity: What point of view does the magazine and its writers represent? Are there topics or advertisements that help you determine this? On your personal blog, assess the scope, purpose, audience and objectivity of each of the five sites that you visit.
9. Student Generated Blogs Further Steps: Close Reading of Magazine Business Proposal White Fella
12. Each post references at least one other source on your topic or source that inspired your post
13. Each post contains at least two quotes from sources or other experts on your topic
14. Each post is carefully proofread, edited and revised
15. Each post contains an image that is obtained with creative commons licensing and is appropriately cited. The image should enhance your message. (something representational or symbolic, not just a direct image)Images can be obtained at: Creativecommons.org Compfight.com (make sure creative commons images are selected)
21. The Art of Commenting Takes training just like any other skill Be clear on your expectations of these comments: purpose, language, frequency Help students avoid the “critical” comment Require students to offer “something new” to the discussion
22. Assessing and Scaffolding Structure takes time to build Has to be meaningful to students Feedback must offer new things to consider Great resource on the wiki
25. Podcast Requirements Requirements: Each podcast will be between 3-5 minutes long. Podcasts will be produced on computers in Olson 218 using Garageband. Podcasts will be written and rehearsed in advance. Students will listen to previous podcasts in order to not repeat previously recorded material. Make sure to cite any material you use in your research for your podcast. In addition to the completed podcast file (.mp3), you will submit your script and any works cited necessary. Suggestions: Listen to other podcasts from other sources to determine what you find appealing. Listen to how others bring their topics alive. Make an outline of the elements of your story you want to communicate. Consider arranging the order of your story in a way that will capture your listener’s attention. Perhaps start in the middle of the story, go back to the beginning to offer background information and then return to the finish. Consider recording smaller chunks to as to avoid mistakes as you speak. Feel free to interview or add music, if appropriate, to vary your podcast.
