An ERP system integrates information across departments like manufacturing, finance, and HR. It allows inputting data in one place that can then be accessed as reports in real-time. Key drivers for ERP include needing infrastructure for company-wide information, outdated legacy systems, and business process reengineering. While expensive to implement, ERP provides benefits like improved integration, efficiency, information quality, and customer service.

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.

In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
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.

2. What is ERP? ERP is a packaged business software system that processes transactions on a single software platform and a single database
3. What does an ERP system do? (1) Integrates information across all departments Facilitates the flow of information among the different functions and processes of an enterprise functions: manufacturing, finance, HR processes: order entry Tracks a wide range of events in the enterprise in an integrated fashion Plans future activities based on these events Supports analysis of trends in these events, to improve the performance of the enterprise.
4. 2. What does an ERP system do? (2) Allows users to input data in one location, that can be processed with other data and accessed as informational reports in a real-time environment share common data and practices across the entire enterprise reengineer the majority of its processes
5. 3. Drivers of an ERP investment Technology Business processes Strategy Competition
6. 3. Drivers of an ERP investment3.1. Technology Need for an infrastructure that will provide information across all functions and locations within the organization Difficulty maintaining existing legacy systems Difficulty integrating acquisitions Obsolete hardware

10. 4. Evolution of enterprise software - the applications typically come from multiple vendors and run on multiple platforms - companies are managed along functional lines - task oriented applications Before 1980 - functional applications - some integration 1980s - cross-functional applications - integrated applications - versions for the client-server architecture 1990s
11. 5. Evolution of ERP systems ERP has its origin in the manufacturing industry Inventory Control 1960s MRP 1970s MRP II 1980s ERP 1990s Extended ERP 2000
12. 5. Evolution of ERP systems 5.1. Inventory Control Most common approach: If the inventory drops below a minimum quantity, it is replenished with the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Disadvantages very large inventory investment unreliable with a highly varying demand rate large investment in safety stock requires forecasts for all items based on past demand data material obsolescence is more likely
13. 5. Evolution of ERP systems 5.2. MRP Material Requirements Planning Calculates component requirements based on the Master Production Schedule (MPS), Bill of Material (BOM) and inventory data Determines batch sizes for purchasing and manufacturing, and sends out purchasing / manufacturing orders for them at the appropriate times
14. 5. Evolution of ERP systems 5.3. Closed-loop MRP Considers material and capacity requirements Prior to releasing production orders to shopfloor, it adds the planned workload to existing workload, and compares it with the available capacity Assesses whether work should be rescheduled in order to smooth out any peaks in capacity utilization (CRP)
15. 5. Evolution of ERP systems 5.4. MRP II Manufacturing resource planning closes the loop with sales, financial and operations planning includes the allocation of production equipment and labor can manage changes in the production plan includes JIT capabilities
