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.

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.

"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.

27. Key Questions:
1. Who is responsible for planning and developing land in the UK?
2. What are the key issues that planners consider when shaping a
development plan?
3. Have these considerations been taken in the developments we
have seen around Cardiff?
4. Are the plans for Cardiff Sustainable?
5. What could be done in our local area?
28. Cardiff’s Local Development Plan is one of the most important
documents, if not the most important, that Cardiff council is
called upon to produce. It lays the foundations which will shape
our city for a generation or more. It determines where people
are going to live and work and how they travel between the two.
More importantly, it dictates how people live, influencing
lifestyles and landscapes which impact directly on jobs,
educational achievement, crime and future economic prosperity
as well as on issues of place, community and the environment.
http://yourcardiff.walesonline.co.uk/tag/local-development-plan/
29. This recent development in Cardiff took years of planning
and building.
• Do you think the development considers all of the issues
suggested in the book?
• Which do you think would have been hard to meet?
• Which do you think could be improved and how?
30. 1. Use the LDF to suggest an appropriate strategy for developing the local
area.
2. Share ideas with the group - decide who’s plans meet the considerations
of LDF best.
To Extend Your Work:
3. Write a letter to your local government based on the best suggestions
you have discussed, persuading them to take action on your ideas.
31. ‘’VISITORS could soon be taking a faster route to Barry Island thanks to a new £250m
development.
The new road will run through the centre of the Waterfront complex, providing a
much more direct link to the Island from Cardiff Road and easing pressure on the
causeway, which often becomes clogged with traffic at the height of the summer
season.
The road will also give access to the planned second phase of the Waterfront development,
including a new primary school, cafe quarter, park and houses.
The final proposal for the link road is the result of lengthy public consultation and debate on the final
phase of the waterfront development’’

32.
33. Brownfield or Greenfield?
To Start…
• Which of these images do you think are brownfield/greenfield sites?
• What is the difference?
34. Today…
Distinguish between brownfield and Greenfield sites
Identify reasons for the need to develop brownfield sites
Explain why waterfront developments are/have been popular around the UK
Assess the impacts of a waterfront development
35. Brownfield sites are abandoned
or underused industrial and
commercial facilities available for
re-use.
36. Commonly undeveloped land in a city or rural area either currently used for agriculture or
landscape design or left to naturally evolve. These areas of land are usually agricultural or
amenity properties being considered for urban development.
Greenfield land can be unfenced open fields, urban lots or restricted closed properties kept off
limits to the general public by a private or government entities.
Rather than build upon greenfield land a developer may choose to re-develop brownfield or
greyfield lands. Those are areas that have previously been developed but have been left
abandoned or underutilized.
Greenfield Sites – land
that has not been built
on before. Often rural /
countryside areas.
37. More sustainable
Often on the edge of towns and
cities and may have better access
Have less congestion
More pleasant environment and have
more space and room to expand
House prices would increase in inner city
areas as people are encouraged back to
the area. This might mean that local
people can not afford the houses.
New drainage, electricity, roads etc.
would all have to be produced.
New housing can lead to gentrification (old
housing done up- area becomes more trendy
and affluent) so the area will improve and
things like crime rates will improve.
Easier to build on as there is a fresh start
There is an issue of contamination and
making sites safe for development.
‘Sucks’ out the core from towns as shop
etc. locate on the edge of
towns/cities

•Explain the term clone town.
•Identify problems associated with retail park developments.
•Identify strategies to combat these problems.
57. Clone town is a global term for a town where
the High Street or other major shopping areas
are significantly dominated by Chain stores.
58. • 41 per cent of the towns surveyed were
“clone towns” (more than half the stores were
chains); 23 per cent are on the verge of
becoming clone towns (border towns); and 36
per cent were “home towns” (more than
2/3rds of shops are independents).
• Cambridge is the UK’s most cloned
town, managing only 11.6 on the diversity
scale (out of a possible 100). Only nine
varieties of shops are found on the main high
street.
• Richmond has the most cloned high street of
London’s “villages”, with only five independent
shops found down its length.
• Whitstable, Kent is the best performing
“home town”, according to the survey, scoring
an impressive 92.1. on the diversity scale.
Nine of the 13 west London village high streets
surveyed registered as “clone towns”.

59. First we had Ghost Town Britain, then we had
Clone Town Britain, and now it appears we are
hurtling towards No Town Britain.
According to a campaign by the Federation of
Small Businesses, 42% of our towns and
villages no longer have a shop of any kind.
Specialised stores, including
butchers, bakers, fishmongers and
newsagents, have been closing at the rate of
50 per week - more than 2,000 a year -
between 1997 and 2002, and have been
replaced by out-of-town supermarkets and
shopping centres.
Since 1990, 40% of bank branches have
closed, around four pubs a day are currently
calling absolutely last orders, and 2,500 post
offices face closure.
The FSB campaign, Keep Trade Local, warns
that our high streets face extinction. It aims to
safeguard the future of small, independent

to do our bit – it just needs to be quick, easy
and not cost the earth!
Small steps can make a big difference,
particularly when it comes to reducing our
carbon footprint.
Now help is at hand. The Carbon Reduction
Label helps you see at a glance which products
are working to reduce their carbon
footprints. It’s still early days, but already lots
of leading brands have signed up – in fact
you’ll find carbon labelled-products along most
aisles of your local supermarket and right
across the high street.

Progress Since 2005/06:
Our carbon intensity has fallen during the 06/07 financial year: our footprint in tonnes of
CO2e has not changed materially since the 05/06 financial year despite a 10.9% increase
in sales and a 17.2% increase in selling area (our footprint for the 05/06 year was
assessed to be between 4 and 4.3 million tonnes.
Carbon labels
restrict air transport to less than 1 per cent of
our products and will put an aeroplane symbol
on all air-freighted products in our stores.
