ICT: A Limitless Technology for Entrepreneurship Simeon Adedokun
Technology is increasingly disrupting the ways people interact business, learn and play — — communicate, work, do and is greatly revolutionizing the way in which business start and operate in today’s digital world. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a powerful tool for entrepreneurship, that is playing an increasing role in business development, investment, modernization, marketing and sales. The rapid evolution of digital era in Africa is providing opportunities for businesses to thrive and be more profitable. With the ICT, there is virtually no limit to what you can do, no limit to people you can connect with around the world, no limit to resources you can access, and no limit to opportunities you can annex.

Get Telecoms Smart with Ovum - Time is Goldenemmersons1
The BBDO Knows team recently attended Ovum’s ‘Smarter strategies for smarter consumers’ event, where the need to save consumer’s time, both today and in the future, was a key theme.
As part of the CIO FOrum 2017, CIO Academy Asia (CIOAA) together with VMware, co-hosted the Government Leadership Forum on 3 May 2017 at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa.
By 2020, 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet, creating $19 trillion of economic value. in this world of digital newcomers toppling traditional giants, it’s time to disrupt or risk being disrupted
In this report, you will find everything that happened during Slush 2018, from the latest trends in mobility, cybersecurity and gaming to what's hot in the booming blockchain industry. It includes the list of startups awarded within Slush 100 competition as well as the Global Impact Accelerator.
Brought to you by sesamers.com
A number of Scandinavia’s top IT leaders met at the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm on the 7th of November for a private roundtable dinner hosted by Financial Times columnist and digital strategist Ade McCormack. This report summarises the major discussion points.
The world is being transformed by new technologies, which are redefining customer expectations, enabling businesses to meet these new expectations, and changing
the way people live and work. Digital transformation, as this is commonly called, has immense potential to change consumer lives, create value for business and unlock
broader societal benefits.
The World Economic Forum launched the Digital Transformation Initiative in 2015, in collaboration with Accenture, to serve as the focal point for new opportunities and
themes arising from the latest developments in the digitalization of business and society. It supports the Forum’s broader activity around the theme of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. Since its inception, the Initiative has analysed the impact of digital transformation across 13 industries and five cross-industry topics, to identify the
key themes that enable the value generated by digitalization to be captured for business and wider society. Drawing on these themes, we have developed a series of
imperatives for business and policy leaders that look to maximize the benefits of digitalization. We have engaged with more than 300 executives (both from leading
global firms and newer technology disruptors), government and policy leaders, and academics.
Every industry has its nuances and contextual differences, but they all share certain inhibitors to change. These include the innovator’s dilemma (the fear of
cannibalizing existing revenue models), low technology adoption rates across organizations, conservative organizational cultures, and regulatory issues. Business and
government leaders should continue to work towards addressing these challenges.
A notable outcome of this work is the development of our distinctive economic framework, which quantifies the impact of digitalization on industry and society. It can be
applied consistently at all levels of business and government to help unlock the estimated $100 trillion of value that digitalization could create over the next decade. We
have already started to leverage this framework for region-specific discussions with some governments.
We are confident that the findings from the Initiative will contribute to improving the state of the world through digital transformation, both for business and wider society.

"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.

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.

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.
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.
2. • The day’s opening keynote speaker, Gary
Semplonius, vice president of business at Bell
Mobility, outlined one of the urban
challenges we are all too familiar with. “We’re
spending too much time stuck in traffic,” he
said. IoT could help solve this – load more
people onto public transit by reducing wait
times with vehicle location tracking and
display information at the shelters, and
provide WiFi on buses.
3. • During the first panel, Gabriel Woo (left),
vice president of innovation at RBC, spoke
to how using mobile technology allowed the
bank to learn more about its customers.
“You really don’t know how clients will react
and where they will find utility,” he said.
Learning about that new customer
behaviour through their interaction with
mobile banking has helped RBC chart its
future strategy.
4. • In the mining industry, IoT isn’t just a
trend, it’s a game changers, says Mark
Gelsomini, the CIO of Dundee Precious
Metals. “It’s not just a trend, it’s an
evolution,” he said. While commodity
prices are dropping, IoT is helping
Dundee analyze data to find new
opportunities to operate more efficiently.
5. • When the conversation turned to open data,
the panel discussed privacy issues at length.
Consider how much personal information you
entrust the government with, said Brian Fior
(right), director of policy and partnerships open
government, Office Treasury Board Secretariat,
ON. “How do we have an assessment approach
to releasing that information?” De-identifying
data to make it useful at a mass level should
also be done with caution.
6. • Tracy Fleming CTO, Avaya reflected that
the digital discussion behind held isn’t
being guided by technologists, but by
business leaders and political
leaders. “You figure out what the thing is
you’re trying to solve for and you apply
to it,” he said. “It’s amazing where the
opportunities are emerging.”
7. • At the luncheon keynote, Kathryn Willson,
director, Microsoft CityNext, listed many
communities around the globe that are
benefitting from IoT. She also had examples
of how businesses are reaping value from
it. ThyssenKrupp is using IoT to predict
when its elevators need maintenance to
avoid downtime entirely, she says.
8. • During the innovation spotlight panel,
Robert Montgomery (left), CEO, Achilles
Media, pointed out Toronto has to focus
if it’s going to succeed. “There’s only
one Silicon Valley and that’s not here,”
he said. Too many different innovation
initiatives can prevent critical mass, so
it’s time to move past the politics of
innovation and focus on where an
impact can be made.
9. • The realities of running a government were
showcased during the final panel of the
day. “The expectations of the public is very,
very high. But what people are prepared to
pay for is really, really low,” said Jennifer
Keesmaat (centre left), chief planner and
executive director, City of Toronto. The
tension for city staff is to improve citzens’
quality of life while keeping an eye on the
bottom line.
