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.

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).

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.

1. Introduction
1.1 Project description
The project involves the construction of a new cafe (Lakeview Cafe) for Taylor’s
University Lakeside Campus. The cafe will be built on the man-made lake at Taylor’s
University campus. The cafe is to be built using one-way glass, meaning that the
exterior will be reflective while the interior walls will be clear and see-through. The cafe
will also include an exterior water feature.

o floors are made of transparent glass that allows customers to enjoy the unique
experience of dining on a lake
o customers enjoy a spectacular view as the walls can be seen through
o spectacular water feature where water cascades over the outer walls
Environmentally-friendly
o fully utilise the lake without disrupting the natural scenery
o does not cause disturbances to the lake’s natural environment
o priority is given to the ducks, geese, fish and other inhabitants of the lake when
considering the design of the café
o the roof is decorated with real plants to produce a natural green feel
Comfort
o provide comfort while giving a natural feel
o The cafe is built such that it functions mainly on natural lighting and ventilation.
o Real creepers hang down from ceiling beams

5. Proposed Site Options
Although, Lakeview Cafe aims to be a cafe that is actually built on the lake, there are a
number of reasons why alternative sites should be considered including the possibility
that the natural scenery could be destroyed by the construction of a cafe on the lake as
well as threats to the lake’s natural flora and fauna.
Accordingly, the Building Committee were charged with the task of identifying whether
there were any other suitable sites in the Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus area that
should be considered for the cafe’s new home.
These were the proposed sites:
Site A (preferred site) - At the far end of the lake, on the lake.
Site B - On the empty land area beside the lake.
Site C - Built above the car park nearest the lake.
Site B and C were proposed because they both provide views of the lake. Thus, they
possess the ability to fulfill the theme of Lakeview Cafe.

6.2 Visual Statement
Lakeview Cafe will be developed using the latest environmental and sustainable
considerations.
It is intended that Lakeview Cafe will provide a fully functional facility, which becomes a
hub of activity throughout the year.
Ensuring the cafe is able to deliver its promise of providing a unique experience to
customers will be of primary importance, however, it is also important that the facility
provides a welcoming appearance, which is homey and comfortable.
The building should present an image consistent with the campus environment and
current ecological sustainable development (ESD) principles without dominating the
landscape. It should be:
Low key but distinctive
Be readily identifiable and welcoming
Be constructed of high quality, durable materials
Include principles of ESD design
Maximise the use of the available open site
Seamlessly integrate with the local environment
Minimise the impact of the built environment on its surroundings
Express image and functions of Lakeview Cafe
Repeat, borrow or redefine landscape and building elements from the local
surrounding area
12. 12
6.3 Siting and Orientation Considerations
The building’s siting and orientation should:
Take advantage of the views
Take advantage of natural winds
Encourage passive solar design
Have a clear and identifiable main entry
6.4 Spatial Requirements
It is expected that the cafe will have only one level. The eventual size of the new
building will be driven by a number of factors including:
1. Minimum functional requirements
2. Anticipated growth
3. Site size / location
4. Cost / budget
6.5 Services
It is anticipated the cafe’s building’s services will comprise the following:
1. Mechanical
o Mechanical assisted ventilation
o Air conditioning
o Exhaust to all kitchens and toilet facilities
2. Electrical
o Lighting (general, feature, security, emergency, exit, etc,)
o Power – electrical
o Emergency equipment and systems
o Security access control, CCTV, intercom
o Smoke detectors
3. Communications
o Telephone
o Wireless LAN
4. Hydraulics
o Hot and cold water supply
o Sewerage
o Rainwater harvesting
o Fire protection services
13. 13
6.6 Building Materials and Finishes
All building materials should be carefully selected in respect to:
minimising the need for and duration between maintenance;
minimising the embodied energy required during manufacture and transport to
site;
maximise the use of appropriate recycled materials;
response to site context, landscape and locality;
quality finishes that offer value for money.
6.7 Acessability
Access for those with Disabilities
-In developing Lakeview Cafe, facility that allow for easy access for the disabled will be
taken into account.
14. 14
7. Budget
A range of around RM650, 000 to RM700, 000is considered to be an appropriate total
budget for this project depending on scope and quality of work, fittings and fixtures.
