The document discusses how optimization can help companies address business challenges by analyzing supply chain networks, production planning, inventory management, transportation scheduling, and other areas to reduce costs, improve service levels, and make better decisions faster than humans alone. It provides examples of how optimization can be used to find the shortest delivery route or determine the optimal production schedule. The document argues that optimization should be applied wherever decisions require allocating resources for implementation.

Marketing Strategy and Planning: Sustainable Business ModelsFinal ProjectBrean Deters
This is the final presentation for one of the most valuable classes I took as a part of my master's program, titled "Strategy Planning - Developing Sustainable Business Models." It is because of this class that I discovered my passion for marketing strategy and planning and have chosen to pursue this function in my career.
It was a high level Strategy and Planning class with a marketing focus. The class was primarily an intense crash course in the concepts championed in "An Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor and "the" expert on disruptive innovation, however lessons also contained principles and readings of other relevant Thought Leaders in strategy and planning.
Our final project was to pick an industry and analyze three of the main players. After extensive research on the industry, we picked where the current players would currently sit on the Price-Performance curve and hypothesize to where they could shift in the future. Using a market strategy we studied in class, we created a new fictional company and had to explain how its entry into the market would affect the current players.
Our team chose the hospitality industry, however other groups ranged from quick-serve restaurants to video game consoles to grocery stores.
In today’s service economy cutting cost and making processes more efficient is the key. The OpenERP for Carpet Industry is going to reduce various costs and make processes efficient providing High ROI made in OpenERP.

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.

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.

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.
