This document discusses the potential for virtual worlds and 3D virtual spaces to enable new forms of value creation and economic activity. It notes that as social activity migrates online, economic activity will likely follow. Examples are given of how virtual worlds are being used for collaboration, education, customer engagement, and entrepreneurship. The document also discusses open-source virtual world platforms that allow for broad participation and the potential link between virtual worlds and 3D printing. It concludes by suggesting that virtual worlds may enable new forms of virtual or remote work just as prior technological changes enabled new forms of goods and financial mobility.

What is digital transformation? An introduction to reflect uponJoël Krapf
What is digital transformation? This short presentation below is intended to help all those who have not been occupied with digital transformation intensively. First of all, the keyword "Industry 4.0" is introduced, which for many people is synonymous with digital transformation. Afterwards, a emerging technology is presented on each slide in a few sentences and explained with a short YouTube clip. Since the digital transformation does not only include this technological change, but also what we make of the technology, the presentation concludes with questions of reflection. The reader can pose those questions individually or in a group to promote his or her own digital transformation.

Becoming an exponential organization in an Age of DisruptionRob van Alphen
Any company designed for success in the 20th century is doomed to failure in the 21st.
It used to take 20 years to make a billion-dollar company – Slack took 8 months. An Exponential Organization (ExO) is one whose impact is at least 10X larger compared to its peers because of the use of new organizational techniques that leverage emerging technologies. Let's take a look at the key attributes of a 10X company and the steps to retrofit your organization for exponential growth.

Yuri van Geest: Exponential Organizations - The New Normalsinnerschrader
The world is changing exponentially due to technology, Singularity and globalization. We see the emergence of a new kind of organization: the exponential organization. This is complete reinvention of all building blocks of a classic, linear organization. Why is it here today? Why is it so successful? What is it? How does it organize to scale? How will exponential organizations evolve into blockchain startups (DAOs)? Learn practical insights from not only startups like Slack, Uber, Xiaomi, Airbnb, Waze, Local Motors, Quirky, Github and Tesla but also large organizations like Google, Amazon, Haier and General Electric.
If your organization was built in the 20th century it is doomed to fail in the 21st century. Why?

Work like a social media - How digital companies is eating traditional businessSocialsquare
Digital companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google are surely disrupting the world of marketing and communication, but moreover they are radically changing the concept of how companies operate. Today’s fastest-growing, most profoundly impactful companies are using a completely different operating model, that at heart are more purposely agile, lean and entrepreneurial.
Digital companies operates at lower cost, at higher speed and with less organizational friction. They are vastly more innovative and disruptive despite their lack of domain knowledge. They are attracting highly passionate and skilled people. And they are ultimately creating better products and services than age old legacy companies have been able to. Think Nest+Google vs. Danfoss. Think Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Think Airbnb vs. Hotels. Literally no industry is going to be untouched by the proliferation of the digital companies.
So as an established company it is not enough to be actively present on social media, you’ll also need to work like a digital company to keep up. How do you do that?
On this event, we will present our thoughts on the operation models that is changing the world and we will discuss with the audience, what it takes to work like a truly digital company? What tools and process are needed? What competences are needed? and what are the benefits of operating like a digital company?
The event will be a mixture of short perspectives from the Partners Martin and Magnus from Socialsquare and discussions with a panel of clued-in people. Follow the hashtag for the event to see announcements about the panel.
Organization need change as one of their drivers. In this presentation to the chapter of the Dutch B-Corp association, the Seats2meet.com key operators and ambassadors I did a short preso on this subject...

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.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
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.

Editor's Notes
n many ways, education hasn’t changed much since students sat at the feet of Socrates more than two millenniums ago. Learners still gather each autumn at colleges to listen to and be questioned by professors.But the Internet has caused sudden shifts in other industries, from the way people read news to the way they buy music or plan travel. Might higher education be nearing such a jolt?Aside from the massive dent put in their endowments by Wall Street’s woes, colleges and universities mostly have been conducting business as usual. Costs have soared compared with general inflation, but students still flock to classes.Many have theorized that the Internet could give education a rude shock. Recently, an opinion piece by Zephyr Teachout, a law professor at Fordham University in New York who once served as an Internet organizer for presidential candidate Howard Dean, put the possibility in dramatic terms.“Students starting school this year may be part of the last generation for which ‘going to college’ means packing up, getting a dorm room, and listening to tenured professors,” she wrote in The Washington Post. “Undergraduate education is on the verge of a radical reordering. Colleges, like newspapers, will be torn apart by new ways of sharing information enabled by the Internet.”She’s not the first to see newspapers moving from print to online and wonder whether something similar could happen to colleges. Online newspaper readers tend to seek out individual stories, not what papers as a whole have to say. Might finding the right class online become more important than which institution was offering it? What happens if colleges or even specialized online-only education companies provide essentially the same Economics 101 course? Does geography cease to matter and do low-cost providers win out?Some think it could happen, perhaps sooner than expected. “Three years ago nobody thought the newspaper industry was going to collapse,” says Kevin Carey, policy director of Education Sector, an independent education think tank in Washington, D.C.Today, a college education is more than twice as expensive as it was in the early 1990s, even after adjusting for inflation.“It’s getting worse all the time. There’s no end in sight,” Mr. Carey says.Colleges “have set the bar pretty low for competitors” through a lack of competition, he says. At the same time, many potential students are being underserved. “We need more institutions that are good at serving working students, immigrant students, low-income students, students who are basically going to college because they want to get a credential and have a career,” he says.Carey points to the fledgling company Straighterline.com, which offers college courses in subjects from algebra to business statistics, English composition, and accounting. Students can take as many courses as they want for $99 per month, the company’s website says. The price includes 10 hours each month of one-on-one live support and a course adviser. Passing courses results in “real college credit” from one of several colleges affiliated with the program.About 30 percent of the undergraduate credits given each year at US colleges and universities derive from only 20 or 30 introductory classes. It seems logical, then, that these could be turned into “commodities” sold at the lowest price online.“Econ 101 for $99 is online, today. 201 and 301 will come,” Carey writes in an essay, “College for $99 a Month,” in Washington Monthly. “The Internet doesn’t treat middlemen kindly.” He describes an unemployed woman in Chicago who was able to complete four college courses for less than $200 on Straighterline.com. The same courses would have cost $2,700 at a local university.Of course, colleges and universities have discovered online learning themselves. They already offer thousands of online courses to their registered students. According to one recent survey, nearly4 million college students, more than 20 percent of all students, have taken at least one online course.But colleges don’t generally offer a lower price for online courses. The reason is that the courses actually take more work to prepare and teach than similar classroom courses, says Janet Poley, president of the American Distance Education Consortium in Lincoln, Neb. Members of the consortium, made up of public universities and community colleges, find that they often must provide extra resources to faculty who are preparing to teach online for the first time, such as help from a graduate assistant or a lighter teaching load, she says. [Editor’s note: The original version mischaracterized the role of the consortium.]Online learning at these institutions“has been growing very fast,” Dr. Poley says. Students appreciate the flexibility to be able to take courses whenever they want, allowing them to keep their jobs or avoid paying baby sitters or commuting to campus as often.What’s holding back more online courses, she says, is the lack of good broadband Internet options in some places, especially rural areas.What may be evolving, Poley says, is a “home institution model,” in which students take introductory courses online but come on campus for work in their major field and for graduate study.“I don’t really care whether there are students on campus or not,” she says. But “I think there will still be folks who like to be in a community with others while they are learning.” Some students enjoy athletics and other on-campus activities, she says. “I don’t think people are ready to give that up.”Online courses, the latest form of distance learning, have had a reputation for being of lower quality than on-campus work, Carey says – something advertised in the back pages of a magazine. But that may be out of date.Online education is continually improving, he says. “It’s better now than it was 10 years ago.”A study of 12 years of online teaching by SRI International on behalf of the US Department of Education concluded earlier this year that “On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction.”What’s more, this wasn’t true only of lower-level courses. “Online learning appeared to be an effective option for both undergraduates … and for graduate students and professionals … in a wide range of academic and professional studies,” the study said.The Obama administration has talked in general terms about online education as part of a grand plan to give the US the highest proportion of college-educated citizens in the world by 2020. The plan, when announced next year, could include funds to develop more online course materials and make them freely available.If other online education start-ups like Straighterline.com do appear, they won’t be looking for “18-year-olds from suburban high schools who want to go to Harvard,” Carey says. Elite schools will always offer other reasons to attend, such as making social connections. “Exclusivity never goes out of style,” he says.Professor Teachout is reminded of the 19th century, when wealthy Americans sent their children off to Europe to absorb its cultural treasures on a so-called Grand Tour. “I can imagine the off-line, brick-and-mortar, elegant, beautiful MIT experience becoming the Grand Tour” of tomorrow, she says in an interview.Reaction to her article has been strong and varied. Some, including her father, also a law professor, have said, “This is horrible. This is the end of the world,” she says. Those she calls “techno-Utopians” have said, “This is fantastic!”An online learning experience for the self-motivated, organized person could be “extraordinary,” she says. And we’ve only scratched the surface. “The totally free online university that is stitched together from MIT-quality professors is going to happen very soon.”Others remain skeptical.“I do question whether things are really as dire as she says, and whether we’re moving toward a model where the online [courses] will almost completely displace the classroom,” says Dan Colman, associate dean and director of continuing studies at Stanford University in California. He also has founded openculture.com, a website that points visitors to free educational courses online.“I think there could be a day when a lot … could be done online, but I don’t think it’s in 20 years. I think it’s further out.”
