This presentation outlines the key goals and objectives of the Service Automation Framework Alliance towards 2020. It discusses vision and mission, as well as the practical application of the framework into a number of case studies.
Transport has a major impact on the quality of life in a city, its environment and the economy. Transport Authorities globally are facing similar strategic challenges around worsening congestion, insufficient transport infrastructure, affordability constraints, increasing emissions and growing customer needs...
Requirements for Geospatial Agent Simulation to Strengthen the 'Property-Powe...VisionGEOMATIQUE2014
This session illustrates how geospatial attributes of payments data can be used in applied geographical economics, both micro and macro. The micro-economic example involves positioning of railway stations in the « Property-Powered Rail Open Development Model. The macro-economic example involves re-purposing trade data on currency of settlement to create the « Earth Reserve Index », a weighting system to employ biophysical indicators such as infrared reflectivity, in price benchmarking.
AVAAL Transportation Management System offers a return on investment that will provide continuous process improvement while at the same time keeping freight costs under control. Our software helps customers to coordinate Order Management, Fleet Management, Customer Management and Accounting in one place to enable better decision-making and capacity control.
Regardless of size, each business has a couple common goals which include saving money and improving efficiencies. Often times, companies overlook their supply chain, specifically their inbound transportation.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
2. Introduction
o Hayden Sutherland
o Founder and Chair of the Open Transport Initiative
o Director of Ideal Interface, a digital consultancy
o The work I am presenting is a joint effort from
25+ contributors across the transport &
mobility industry:
o Public transport: Bus, Rail, Ferry, etc.
o Private transport: Car hire, MaaS Platforms,
EV suppliers, car parking, etc.
o Industry vendors & consultants
3. In a nutshell
Open Transport has created an
Open Standard for federated transport &
mobility account interoperability
Open Banking
For Transport
4. Current situation
• Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is maturing as a
concept
• Transport start-ups are growing in number &
market share
• But…
– Each new entrant into the transport (public or
private) market is a new source of customer data
– Each new MaaS platform creates its own
customer account AND can introduce proprietary
integration standards
– Transport Providers are enriching their self-
service accounts to provide a better user
experience AND build a relationship with their
customers…
And they want to maintain this.

7. What does Open Transport Provide?
1. An Open Standard for federated
transport customer account
interoperability
– API specification for integrating data (not
customer PII) held in participating systems
– Allows Transport Providers to still maintain
relationship with their own customers
2. An Open Standard for a centralized
operator information look-up service
– The first transport / mobility API directory
– “An API for transport APIs”
8. 3 account data entities
1. Purchase
– Ticket, pass to travel, contract to
use service, etc.
2. Usage
– Journey, parking duration, etc.
– Includes services used (e.g.
charging, calls, etc.)
3. Concession
– Railcard, staff discount scheme,
voucher, etc.
9. Centralised Operator Look-Up
• Directory service
– The UK banking system has Sort-Codes
(IBAN/SWIFT)
– But… there was no directory service (e.g.
account API URLs) for every MaaS platform or
transport provider
• Validation service
– In a fragmented transport landscape some
reference information is needed
– Other standards have loose compliance which
can cause issues
– And…. A consistent “mode” reference for a
transport & mobility
11. Potential supporters & adopters
1. Transport Authorities/ Regulators
– Mandate its use in new franchise & contracts
– Potential wider aggregated view
2. Public Transport Operators
– Wider multi-modal interoperability
3. Private Operators
– Established Mobility-as-a-Service Platforms
– Start-ups, for wider integration possibilities
4. Transport software vendors
– Ease/speed of implementation
– Wider market potential (WORM: write once, reuse
many)
5. Other new services?
“Anyone with a
transport account or
with responsibility for
ensuring future
transport account
interoperability”
