Web-to-Print and E-Business Print in D/A/CHBernd Zipper
Web-to-Print is not enough. Think holistic - that´s Bernd Zippers opinion. Presentation of a Keynote, held in Denmark during the New Business for Print Conference 2013 in July 2013
This talk was presented at VodQA Gurgaon 3rd edition (11 July 2013)
Talk Abstract:
Behavior driven testing is a renowned way of automation testing, which directly relates to user behavior of the applications. There are multiple open source tools available in market, which uses BDT for mobile automation testing like frank, calabash, appium, robotium etc. These tools can be used to test hybrid, native and web applications on various platforms like iOS, android. Lets review one of the commonly used tool Calabash for both iOS and Android with the help of live demo. The demo will include setup, writing tests, execution, reporting and the limitations of Calabash.
Speakers:
Raman Kansal: Raman is a Quality analyst in Thoughtworks Gurgaon. He has over 10 years of experience in manual and automation testing. His experience includes working in banking, finance, and insurance, publishing, and accounting domains.
Kriti Mehta: Kriti is an enthusiastic quality analyst in Thoughtworks Gurgaon & working on mobile application testing for last 1 year. She is involved in analyzing different mobile automation tools.
Servicialisation - Service Specifying: Example E-mailing Service V01.05.00servicEvolution
This extract out of another presentation explains and illustrates the complete and consistent service specification for the precisely & succinctly identified service type 'e-mailing service':
- The service providing quality is specified based on agreed & accepted, practical & binding values for the service attributes 01 thru 11.
- The price for seamlessly & reliably rendering a singular & unique e-mailing service is numbered in the identical service attribute 12 'Service Delivering Price'.
- Furthermore, there are 3 different service levels specified with their particular sets of 12 practical attribute values.
- All this fits on 2 pages only and it becomes the nucleus of practical & binding service providing offerings presented by the accountable service provider in its compact & meaning full service catalogue.
Such a service specification is the starting point of any further method & measure for reliable & cost-efficient service providing management (= servuction management). It is the core document for commissioning and committing as well as for rendering and billing explicitly triggered, singular & unique e-mailing services that have been reliably rendered explicitly to triggering service consumers.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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. 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.
"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.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen

8 tips for using Skype or similar video conferencing solution for holding meetings and the like.
Assign one person to be in charge of the Skype setup process and to help with any technical issues
The projection screen probably won't be visible through Skype, send files to the remote participant(s) so they can follow along. Announce when you're moving to the next slide or file, so the remote participant(s) are aware.
Sign in to Skype before the meeting starts, so you can configure the camera and screen to be ideal for both the remote and local participants and test the audio.
Make sure you volume is turned up and your speakers are on, but not too loud. If you have sound issues, adjust the speakers/volume first on your end first.
Make sure the screen is in the ideal location for the local participants, and the camera is in the ideal position for the remote participant(s). You need to be able to see them comfortably, and they need to have a clear full view of you.
Remember, there is a person on the other side of that video screen. Treat them as if they were sitting in the room with you. Be mindful of them throughout the meeting, informing them of events that take place offscreen or before/after the video is connected.
Skype operates in a one-way audio mode, where whomever is talking can't hear the other party, and vice-versa. Pay attention to the remote participant(s) while you're talking, just as you would a local participant, and pause if you want to let them talk. It may be useful to have participants raise their hand if they wish to speak, so everyone can tell. Audio may be delayed a few seconds at times, so keep that in mind.
Share feedback with remote participants and local hosts about how the Skype component worked, and discuss any possible improvements for the next session. Provide a feedback survey to all participants if you have one.
