What Every Project Manager Should Know About ItilDaniel Cayouette
This presentation will provide a high-level view of ITIL and will identify where the ITIL Service Lifecycle Framework and the PMBOK Guide complement each other.
Understanding of ITIL will help the IT project manager over the lifecycle of their projects, from defining a better project charter focused on IT services to a smoother transition to operations and an increased satisfaction of all stakeholders.
The role of an IT PMO as the Voice of IT and its role with Service Level Management will also be discussed as a key enabler to align IT to the business.
Presentation showcasing uses of social networking in public works. This slideshow also explores why social networking is important to the field and how to understand its use. This presentation was given on May 6, 2011, at the annual Wisconsin APWA conference in Racine.
A presentation to the Olympia (Wash.) Communicators Group providing an overview of how the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) uses social media tools to communicate with the public.
Town watching is a participatory process in which community members and local government record disaster information in their community.
Information collected during town watching is then used to create a community-based hazard map and evacuation map.
Town watching was developed by the Asian Disaster Reduction Center and their methodology have adopted in this module.

Micromobility at TU Berlin: Analysis of demand across locations and drafting ...Sarah Westphal
The technical university Berlin is located in Berlin with campus locations across the city. The locations Ernst-Reuter-Platz, Severingelände/PTZ, Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee, Wedding Hum-boldthain, Wedding Seestraße, Steglitz-Zehlendorf and Campus EUREF were analyzed in re-gard to available mobility options such as local public transport and micromobility sharing ser-vices. It was concluded that it is in some cases not possible to travel from one location to anoth-er in the time available between two courses. To determine the need for an own micromobility service operated by the TU Berlin, university members were surveyed.
Within the scope of this thesis, the term micromobility refers to light vehicles for personal transport which are permitted for road transport in Germany and are currently used in sharing services. This includes:
• Bicycles
• Pedelecs
• E-Scooters (footbikes)
• larger E-Scooters (electric motor scooters)
The analyses and survey revealed an existing need and interest in the use of an own Micromo-bility service at the TU Berlin.

Are you prepared for the next disaster?Pam Broviak
Many people don't take the steps to prepared for a disaster because it can seem so overwhelming. This presentation breaks the process down into small actions spread out over 20 weeks culminating in National Preparedness Month in September.

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.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
