Further, Trident is a fully supported open source project maintained by NetApp, designed from the ground up to help meet the sophisticated persistence demands of containerized applications.
Jelastic provides a turnkey Private, Public and Hybrid cloud platform that brings together unlimited PaaS ease of use and container-based IaaS flexibility.
This presentation was made as part of the Container Conference 2018 - www.containerconf.in
"Containers have gained lot of attention ever since it came into existence. And why not? With the speed and ease it provides for running user application, it is definitely the most preferred solution for many of the real world use cases.
OpenStack, on the other hand is a cloud solution which has always evolved in supporting newer technologies. OpenStack have many projects around containers that tries to cater the practical use cases. Some of the real world use cases that OpenStack fulfils are:
OpenStack deployment could be very complex and so is its upgrade. OpenStack Helm, Triple-O and Kolla uses Kubernetes, Docker that helps its users to easily deploy and upgrade their cloud.
Containers lacks the security as compared to VMs, so many users want to run their application on secure environment. OpenStack Zun enables Clear Containers and Kata Containers that provides the security of VMs and speed of containers.
Other use cases include running Kubernetes cluster on OpenStack, CI/CD, managing applications using microservices which can be done by Magnum, Zuul, Zun respectively. In this presentation, we will talk about the practical use cases where containers can help us and what OpenStack provides to fulfill those requirements."

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.

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.
