The Fourth Annual Global Mobility Study [hyperlink] by L.E.K. Consulting, Vision Mobility and CuriosityCX highlights that there is a much greater uptake of ride-hailing and other new mobility options in India and China than in mature western economies. With relatively low levels of car ownership and less developed public transport systems in these Asian countries, new mobility use is now comparable with and set to overtake traditional transport for a segment of the population.

SIMULATION OF PACKAGE DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION USING A COMBINATION OF CARRIERS A...ijcsit
A variety of goods and services in the contemporary world requires evolutionary improvement of services
e-commerce platform performance and optimization of costs. Contemporary society is deeply integrated
with delivery services, purchasing of goods and services online, that makes competition between service
and good providers a key selection factor for end-user.. As long as logistic, timely, and cost-effective
delivery plays important part authors decided to analyse possible ways of improvements in the current
field, especially for regions distantly located from popular distribution canters and drop-ship delivery
networks. Considering both: fast and lazy delivery the factor of costs is playing an important role for each
end-user. The work proposes a simulation that analyses the current cost of delivery for e-commerce orders
in the context of delivery by the Supplier Fleet, World-Wide delivery service fleet, and possible vendor
drop-ship and checks of the alternative ways can be used to minimize the costs. Special attention is given to
Drop-Ship networks as the factor of possible costs decrease. The main object of investigation is focused
around mid and small companies living far from big distribution canters, in the rural areas but actively
using e-commerce solutions for their daily activities. The authors analysed and proposed a solution for the
problem of cost optimization for packages delivery for long-distance deliveries using a combination of
paths delivered by supplier fleets, worldwide, local carriers and drop-ship networks. Data models and
Add-ons of contemporary Enterprise Resource Planning systems have been used, and additional
development is proposed in the perspective of the flow selection change for combination of carriers. The
experiment is based on data sources of the United States companies using a wide range of carriers for
delivery services and uses the data sources of the real companies; however, it applies repetitive
simulations to analyse variances in obtained solutions for different combinations of carriers.

"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.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
