Funding Masterclass – Make sure you’re positioned to benefit from upcoming opportunities and avoid funding pitfalls at this dedicated session
An overview of some of the newest and most exciting technologies in the industry. Find out what will save and what will make you money in plant efficiency
Gain a new perspective on your challenges through input and feedback from government bodies and leading international organisations
Make the most of over 12 hours of networking, including roundtables, drinks and dinner to meet with your peers and share ideas on a one-to-one level
Development of 'State-of-Art' Building Energy Dashboard: The C3 Dashboardruchiek
A building energy dashboard could be a tool to influence users to be
more environmentally conscious by displaying real-time energy
consumption. Current commercially available dashboards fall short of
their potential as they do not simultaneously address occupant
comfort, case specific recommendations or controls. To address this
gap, a prototype has been developed for a new ‘state-of-art’
dashboard, the “C3” dashboard. C3 is a common platform for
communication, consultancy and control. It is designed to be a
personal dashboard for users in commercial buildings. This study
presents the opportunities and challenges of developing a user-based
energy dashboard that would empower occupants to save more energy.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.
