ADV Slides: Graph Databases on the EdgeDATAVERSITY
Graph databases may be the unsung heroes of data platforms. They are poised to expand dramatically in the next few years as the nature of important analytics data expands dramatically into understanding. We live and work today in a highly connected world where individuals and their relationships organize perceptions, consumer behaviors, and many other business success factors. Where patterns are involved in relationships, it is imperative to understand them. Graph databases are the technology that is best-suited to determining and understanding data relationships.
This code-lite session is a primer on graph databases and the relationship data stored in them for the analytics architect in the enterprise. It will help you determine why, how, and where to apply graphs, and how to get started.

Disruptive Innovation and Accreditation in Christian Higher Education for the...City Vision University
Talk on Disruptive Innovation and Accreditation in Christian Higher Education for the Majority World at ICETE Panama on November 1, 2018 by Andrew Sears
What Disruptive Innovation Means for ABHE Schools Presented at Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) National Conference in Orlando FL, February, 23, 2018.
Majority World Christian Leadership Development and Disruptive InnovationCity Vision University
This workshop was presented by Andrew Sears with ProMeta in Colorado Springs and William Carey International University. The focus was on how we need a new system for Christian education based around the needs of the majority world. You can also find slides on SlideShare.

The Redemption of Technology Workshop (Theology of Technology) by Andrew SearsCity Vision University
This was a 5 hour workshop presented to the Boston Fellows program covering the following topics: Vocation, Theology of Technology, Theology of Work, Media Addiction and Life Balance.
Principles for Building a Modular Global Christian Educational EcosystemCity Vision University
As we move to a world driven by platforms, the strategy of Christian higher education needs to adjust. This presentation lays out a vision for how Christian higher education might adjust its strategy to compete in a global world dominated by platforms. Learn more at: http://www.globalchristiancollege.org and http://www.cheia.org
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdbfvMWl-_o
If this were a "flipped classroom," here would be my discussion questions:
Do you buy this vision and strategy? How can it be improved?
If you do buy this, how can we become change agents to get the larger movement of Christian higher education to adapt its strategy? Who are the key influencers that we need to reach? How can we help bring the change that is needed?
The intended audience for this presentation is change agents rather than skeptics. I realize that there would need to be a different presentation targeting skeptics, but honestly, I think the best way to win them over will be not through presentations, but by creating new wineskins that demonstrate that this works.
Learn how to balance your use of media and technology through this lesson using a media nutrition pyramid. This lesson provides templates that will help you log your media use, graph into a pyramid and then develop your own media nutrition plan. Available on TED Ed at: http://ed.ted.com/on/VoRBADci
Slides from Andrew Sears's presentation on What Disruptive Innovation Means for DEAC Schools at the Distance Education Accreditation Commission Conference in April 2016 .
Discusses how the Christian worldview provides resources for affirming the dignity of work; guiding one's ethical decisions in work; reforming your vocation to have a Biblical perspective on humanity & creation; finding balance between work, rest, and other responsibilities; and showing how work has eternal value and reward.
Discussion of how the Christian worldview can help you find your calling, from City Vision University's Vocation, Calling, and the Purpose of Work class.
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.

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).
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.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

◦ Christian Social Graph is subset of Nonprofit
Knowledge graph
◦ Want to avoid building something that will be made
obsolete by larger initiatives
◦ Want to be able to contribute our data to larger
initiatives (as we have with AllforGood)
◦ Want someone like Google to build a Nonprofit

18. Use Cases
Improves nonprofit data ecosystem
◦ Encourages nonprofit data providers to include EIN and
other keys to linked data
◦ Needed for linked data between: Volunteer Opps
(AllforGood), Organizations, Donate Links, etc.
◦ Promotes open data while still allowing providers like
Guidestar to provide more extended data
Apps & Mashups
◦ Refining nonprofit public data from sources like Data.gov
is costly for each organization and could be done once by
Google
Improved Nonprofit/For Profit Partnership
◦ For profit companies could more easily integrate
nonprofit causes if there were low barriers to entry
through Google’s APIs
20. Nonprofit Organization Data
USA Providers: Guidestar, NetworkforGood,
Charity Navigator, HandsOn Network, Idealist.org,
United Way/Truist, ChristianVolunteering.org,
VolunteerMatch.org, 211, Data.gov/IRS
Problems with Organizational Data
◦ Few use open standards like Schema.org
◦ Unlinked: Little data has unique organizational identifier
needed for linking
◦ Terms of use prohibit third party use of data even when it
was compiled from public sources (i.e. taking data
provided by governments and then making it proprietary)
◦ Government data is not user-friendly and cannot be easily
linked with other data
21. Volunteer Opportunity Data Providers (USA)
Open = Contributing to Serve.Gov/Data.gov/AllforGood
◦ HandsOn Network, AARP, Idealist.org, United Way, Truist,
Habitat for Humanity, Service Nation, Universal Giving,
ChristianVolunteering.org, Craigslist, MENTOR, Senior Corps,
AmeriCorps, Girl Scouts, YMCA, Up2Us, CatchaFire,
Volunteer.gov, Rock the Vote, Citizen Corps, Red Cross,
Samaritan Technologies, Catchafire
Closed = Not Contributing to Serve.Gov/Data.gov
◦ VolunteerMatch.org
Schema Examples
◦ http://www.allforgood.org/spec
◦ http://schema.org/Event
Problems with Volunteer Opportunity Data
◦ Data not provided with unique identifier that would enable
linkages and assist in deduplication

from 5-20 sources, write to 5-20 APIs, and sign 5-20 contracts and
terms of use that are often incompatible with each other
29. Problems/What is missing?
Poor data quality in public data
◦ Need scrubbing and de-duping
No linkages in data types
◦ missing organization IDs in most data
◦ How to link volunteer opportunities with org
Lacking ecosystem to encourage openness of
nonprofit data
◦ Current nonprofit business models are incentivized to
keep most data closed
Too many Nonprofit APIs
Summary: the pieces are there, but it’s a mess!
