Presentation of Meandre: Semantic-Driven Data-Intensive Flows in the Clouds at eScience 2008 by Bernie Acs
Data-intensive flow computing allows efficient processing of large volumes of data otherwise unapproachable. This paper introduces a new semantic-driven data-intensive flow infrastructure which: (1) provides a robust and transparent scalable solution from a laptop to large-scale clusters, (2) creates an unified solution for batch and interactive tasks in high-performance computing environments, and (3) encourages reusing and sharing components. Banking on virtualization and cloud computing techniques, the Meandre infrastructure is able to create and dispose Meandre clusters on demand, being transparent to the final user. This paper also presents a prototype of such clustered infrastructure and some results obtained using it.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.

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.

Components with properties can be identified by a symbol appearing in
the lower left-hand side of a component icon.
29. Flows
A Flow is essentially an application — a group of components connected
together to perform a certain task
Click on the Flows tab in the Repository panel to view the flows in your
Workbench.
Double click on a flow to load that flow into the Workspace.
30. Locations
Adding a repository location causes all the components and flows hosted at
that location to be imported in the user’s private repository on the server
Removing a location also removes the associated components and flows
from the server.
You can find a list of available repository locations at http://www.seasr.org/

information about the flow and the
components it contains and their
property values.
32. The Output Panel
Displays output and error messages generated by the Workbench
33. Using the Workspace
Placing Components
The first step in building a flow is to choose components from the Repository panel
and place them into the Workspace.
To place a component, click on the Components section in the Repository panel
and drag the desired component over into the Workspace area.
Note: A flow must have at least one component
with no inputs to be able to be executed by the
Meandre server.
Selecting Components
Components can be selected by single clicking on them in the Workspace. When a
component is selected, other selected items are deselected. While selected, a
component can be moved about the Workspace or deleted. A selected component
(or flow) can be unselected by using CTRL+click on that component (or flow).
34. Using the Workspace
Labeling Components
Editing the component label only changes the name of the component in the
given flow. The label must remain unique among the other component labels
in the flow.
The label can be edited by single-clicking on it and entering the desired text.
Pressing ESC while editing a label cancels the labeling operation and
restores the original label.
Connecting and Disconnecting Components
To make a connection, click on the output port of the desired source component (the port
you clicked will be colored red), and then click on the input port to which you wish to
connect. You should now have a line connecting the output and input port. If, after selecting
a port, you wish to cancel the operation, simply clicking the same port again will unselect it.
The ports of two components should only be connected if their data types are compatible
with one another. Any errors resulting from data incompatibilities will occur at runtime.
To remove a connection, simply right-click one of the ports
and select “Disconnect” from the context menu.
Alternatively, you can remove groups of ports by right-
clicking the component and selecting the appropriate
menu option.
35. Using the Workspace
Connecting and Disconnecting Components
A component’s output port may only be connected to one input port. However, a
component’s input port may be connected to several different output ports. This could be
useful when you are retrieving the same data format from multiple components.
The connection line is highlighted if the user hovers over an input or output port. This is
useful for verifying connections in a complex flow. When hovering over a component port,
the description of that port is also briefly displayed.
