A talk given at ElixirConf2017.
Automation is hard, but the benefits can be phenomenal. This can be especially challenging when working on your Elixir side project, as you want to see results quickly, so maybe a zero-click deploy and continuous delivery are not on your mind.
In this talk, I will help show you that even on a budget, even on a team of one you can streamline your software development to achieve some lofty goals including
Linux commonly connotes with open-source zealots and a small PC market
share, not blockbuster video games. However, the arrival of Steam on
the platform might change the outlook quite dramatically, and Linux
support may soon become a must-have feature for your game. Setting the
open-source ideology aside, this lecture is an overview of the
technical challenges a game developer may face while porting their
game to this platform, along with solutions.

Build Infrastructure: What It Is and Why You Need ItNa'Tosha Bard
Talk given at the 2014 Grace Hopper Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
Covers the history of the Build & Release Engineering area at Unity (from 2010 to the current state in 2014), and then follows with an overview and introduction to the "5 Pillars of Build Engineering" and what they mean in practice.
TORONTO, ON; CHICAGO, IL: The challenges facing marketers these days are two fold. First, they must keep up with the latest trends & technologies while determining what approach is best suited to reach new and existing consumers. Second, due to economic pressures they are pressed to be accountable and to deliver measurable results. Today’s marketing problems will be solved by people with diverse skill sets. Accelteon Partners Inc. of Toronto, Ontario teamed up with Torque Ltd. of Chicago, Illinois to work on a collaborative project to demonstrate a way for marketers to break this impasse – Tribal Marketing
A big part of marketing today is striking the right balance between customizing the message and maintaining a respectable ROI. On one end of the curve are large demographic segments and on the other end is the notion of 1-to-1 marketing. While purely demographic approaches are losing effectiveness, exclusively pursuing profitable 1-to-1 may not build enough sales volume.
“Viewing consumers as tribes strikes the right balance while positioning brands as a means of supporting these tribal connections. It forms the basis for talking with your consumers rather than shouting at them.”, said Malcolm Jussawalla, Partner at Accelteon Partners Inc. “In this e-book, we not only present a new way of marketing, but a new way of thinking about the brand, the consumers and how the two interrelate.”
The project was to develop a comprehensive e-book that outlines the market transformation of a bottled water company, from a me-too player to a tribally focused brand. The e-book draws upon Accelteon’s expertise in strategy & analytics and Torque’s expertise in market execution.
“By putting the tribe at the center of consideration, a brand can expand relationships with loyal consumers and also develop insights into fostering relationships with new consumers.” said Kevin Masi, President & Co-Founder of Torque Ltd. “For example, many people are concerned about the environmental impact of bottle water. We wanted to make sure that we pro-actively addressed this in our recommendations.”

Ever since the advent of SteamOS, interest in game development for Linux has seen an increase. This lecture aims to address some more advanced issues encountered by programmers on this platform, beyond the very basic Linux setup, and drawing from over a year and two and a half games of experience in the subject. The areas discussed will be:
• Executable build improvements
• Crash handling and reporting
• Memory debugging
• OpenGL instrumentation and debugging
• Various caveats, tips and tricks.
MultiPlay.io is a realtime cross-platform gaming platform that allows you to edit the games as they are being played on mobile and web devices. We've been using MongoDB now since the inception of the project, where we quickly needed a data store to handle synchronization between our players entering and leaving a 3d chatroom with guns game. Since then we've gone on to add standard gaming features such as leader boards, real time game analytics, game replays and some not so standard features such as modifying the 3d assets and textures of the games as they're being played. In this talk, we'd like to share with you the tricks and techniques we've used to handle our ever changing datasets and assets store to scale across different versions of the game clients and platforms. Which will help you gain insight into building a cross-platform rapid prototyping environment of your own too.

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.

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.
