Some numbers , like perfect , semiperfect , abundant and deficient , defined from the positive or rather from the sum of the specific factors that make each group dividers. Thus we have a number is perfect as long as the sum of all its proper divisors is equal to the given number ; say that a number is deficient if the sum of all its proper divisors is less than the number given , if such sum is greater than the given number say that the number is abundant. The dividers also define the semiperfect numbers, which are defined as those that can be expressed as the sum of some of its own splitters. Considering the properties that can be found among the divisors of a given number, in this written hemimperfects numbers (prefix hemi - Greek meaning half) is. Vaguely defined, we can say that a number is hemimperfect if it can be expressed as the sum of half of its divisors.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

"OSS in Public Administrations - A short Report from the European Level" by Barbara Held @ eLiberatica 2008

4. OSS at European level
European public administrations were among
the early users of OSS (1990s). The European
Commission took up the issue around 2000.
Since then it initiates, sponsors and manages
projects that further OSS, deal with the OSS
usage and the benefits of using OSS for the
Information Society at large.
Back-up at the policy level came early, but
varies in scope over the time and depending on
the context.
4
5. Change of Approach
The previous eGovernment Action Plan (2005 eEurope)
focused still on the dissemination of "Good Practice" –
also concerning the use of Open Source Software in
public administrations Information about OSS was
paramount.
The request to "share" und to collaborate in cross-
border projects in the i2010 Initiative calls for a new
kind of measures namely to actively support
collaboration, by setting up infrastructures (also) at
European level, by supporting networking, by
coordinating the generation of common rules,
specifications and standards.
5
6. What is the OSS strategy
of the Commission?
There is not, for the time being, a “unified”
official Open Source Software strategy of the
European Commission …
The Commission does not have a legal mandate to
become active in the area of “software strategy”.
There are different actors in different DGs
(Informatics, Information Society, Entreprise et al.)
working on ground of different legal bases
Their activities have different scopes (Technological
questions, eGovernment, businesses etc.)
They might need to follow different approaches –
Research, implementation, strategic concepts 6
7. Is there an OSS strategy
for the Commission?
Yes, there is, since 1/2007 an strategy for the
implementation of OSS in the Commission services
In December 2000, the Commission defined an internal
strategy concerning OSS. The main idea was to adopt
OSS where it was most suitable in the Commission’s
context. The rationale behind the strategy is to formalise
the use of Open Source Software where clear benefits
can be expected.
Benefits can be financial, technical or tactical.
The OSS Strategy document is periodically revised. The
last version was presented to the EC IT Committee and
approved in February 2007. The previously adopted
approach to OSS was confirmed.

11. ... in a few words
IDABC
stands for:
Interoperable Delivery
of pan-European eGovernment Services
to Public Administrations,
Businesses and Citizens
11
12. ... in a few words
IDABC is a programme of the European Commission:
Objectives/Activities
– Funding European eGovernment projects in the
Commission services (Projects of Common Interest = PCIs)
– Supporting the implementation of pan-European services
by making available generic services and common tools
(Horizontal Actions and Measures = HAMs)
Budget: 148 Mio Euro in total / Duration: 2005 - 2009
Managed by the IDABC unit in Directorate General for
Informatics (as of 1 January 2007, formerly in DG ENTR)
IDABC Management Committee PEGSCO: Member State
representatives discuss and approve the IDABC work
programme 12
13. Why does IDABC promote OSS
in Public Administrations?
First, it's in the programme‘s mission!
The "IDABC Decision" that implemented the IDABC
programme requests:
The dissemination of Good Practice in OSS
The support of reuse and sharing of applications
The eGovernment Action Plan i2010 puts a strong
emphasis on "sharing" eGovernment applications
and experiences across borders.
This calls for new collaborative projects and
measures in support of these.
13
14. Why does IDABC promote OSS
in Public Administrations?
Second, it makes sense!
European administrations produce many customised
applications to represent their processes.
These are similar and can be reused in localised versions.
Why should the tax payer pay twice for the same?
OSS is a key element in interoperability and open
standards freedom of choice, avoid vendor lock in,
accessibility – also for businesses and citizens.
Development methods and the legal framework of
OSS (licences) fit well (better than anything else) to
the requirements of cross-border collaboration.
The openness of the code is likely to lead to higher
quality of the software. 14
15. OSS in IDABC
IDABC is funding and/or implementing:
Projects to create awareness and promote knowledge
on OSS in public administrations (Open Source
Observatory on the website, workshops etc.)
Projects producing practical advice for public
administrations (for example studies on OSS licences
that lead to the creation of the European Union Public
Licence, EUPL v 1.0
Projects building applications based on OSS and
being distributed under the EUPL v 1.0
Projects in support of collaboration between member
states‘ administrations and their partners

17. OSOR Development I:
Prototype (Jan – June 2008)
Bringing the OSOR online:
Basic technical platform: Implement basic system and
core functionalities (CMS, forge=gForge and repository)
beta version is already online (URJC Madrid); plone
as CMS and Gforge for the collaborative platform
Principles, policies,governance processes: Define and
publish the OSOR’s “terms of use” (IPR, languages,
quality assurance etc.)
studies and workshops ongoing (Strateqo/Merit)
Information Platform: Migrate the current Open Source
Observatory (OSO) content to OSOR to become the
core of the information platform
migration study completed; migration to start soon

(URJC, Unisys)
18. OSOR Development II:
Prototype (Jan-June 2008)
Bringing the OSOR to life:
Involvement of stakeholders: Identify partners ->
Establish systematic and steady contact with
interested stakeholders (motivation is the criterion!)
Strategy study and stakeholder matrix completed:
The Strateqo team is contacting stakeholders.
Towards federation: Network European initiatives
Workshop with European Repositories and Forges
on 19 May 2008.
Repository: collect and upload an initial population
from Member State administrations and Commission
pilot partners are testing the platform: cities of
Munich and Freiburg, Flemish GIS etc. 18
GIS workshop end of June
19. OSOR: Candidates for
collaboration
Pan-European network of public administrations
- 12 repositories and forges in European Member
State administrations
Flexible Platform (Commission)
- Multilingual toolkit for Web 2.0 (Blogs, forums,
wikis, collaborative CMS etc.)
OSS in the European Statistical System (Commission)
- Open Source for statistics (already on CIRCA)
CIRCABC (Commission)
- Tool for online collaboration

Goals of the strategy and related activities:
Create a complete OSS portfolio (catalogue – as
alternative to proprietary products)
Test and validate software for internal use
Provide guidance for tendering OSS (fair procurement)
Work collaboratively! (CitNet)
Release more Commission software under OSS licence
(CIRCABC, Flexible Platform etc)
Underlying motivation:
Avoid vendor lock-in / more choice
Get best software for all purposes at reasonable prices
Keep the system running so that the EC always get “best
value for money”

30. Outlook
It is obvious that the approach of Commission
and European public administrations towards
OSS has changed: From candid observation of
best practice to active involvement.
The activities of the near future will focus on
the development of methodologies and
platforms for working together
the development and implementation of
methodologies and tools that safeguard (and
certify) quality and professionalism
