Indus is a river system that sustains communities in both countries India and Pakistan, which have extensively dammed the Indus River for irrigation of their crops and hydro-electricity systems. The river tributaries are Jhelum and Chenab rivers, which primarily flow into Pakistan while other branches—the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—irrigate northern India. Conflict in the basin started in 1947 when India stopped water flowing through its canals to Pakistan, forcing the later to approach international agencies for help. Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) was signed by both countries in 1960, giving exclusive rights over the three western rivers of the Indus river system (Jhelum, Chenab and Indus) to Pakistan, and over the three eastern rivers (Sutlej, Ravi and Beas) to India. Competing water demands and inadequate water availability for irrigation and other uses stress regional economy which leads to failing of legal and governance institutions. Water dispute in Indus River Basin (IRB) arose due to poor governance and lack of proper institutions to manage water between two stakeholders, which stressed the amount of water available in the basin. Changing climate worldwide and its effect on mountain snow-caps and glaciers have been exerting new set of challenges to the governance and institutions managing the waters of IRB. Based on the review of secondary literature and scenario analysis, this article exposes the inherent uncertainties and suggests governance solutions.
Climate change impact assessment in agriculture – MOSAICC development and pil...FAO
Information on potential impacts of climate change is key in the elaboration of national adaptation plans and policies. Given the large uncertainties about the future of the climate and the response of human systems, model simulations offer interesting possibilities to test scenarios, explore potential impacts and understand how different processes interact with each other. In agriculture in particular, assessing climate change impacts requires to take into consideration its multiple aspects (crop response, irrigation and field management, pests and diseases, socio-economic context etc.) to obtain the overall picture of the issue. In the framework of the joint EU-FAO programme on improving global governance for hunger reduction, FAO is developing an integrated system to carry out climate change impact assessments at national level called MOSAICC. Delivered through capacity strengthening activities, MOSAICC is designed to provide information to support decision making in adaptation, Land and Water Days in Near East & North Africa, 15-18 December 2013, Amman, Jordan
We present a Northern European case study from the recent SETAC Pellston workshop on integration of global climate change (GCC) modeling into ecological risk assessment. In Northern Europe, global climate change (GCC) is expected to result in increased temperature and precipitation. The changes in weather patterns are expected to increase the occurrence of crop pests such as weeds, fungal disease and insect pests. Increased pest pressures can in turn be expected to then alter agricultural practices such as the frequency and combination of pesticide applications. Additionally, climate change may potentially have more direct effects on the environmental exposures in the transport, fate and degradation of pesticides.
A Bayesian network (BN) has previously been developed as a meta-model for incorporating future climate projections and pesticide application scenarios with information from toxic effects data to support environmental risk assessment for streams in agricultural areas. This BN model was initially parameterized for a Norwegian case study with predicted environmental concentrations from a processed-based pesticide exposure model and species sensitivity distributions derived from toxicity tests data.
Within the Pellston workshop, we aimed to improve the existing BN model by incorporating more recent and realistic climate change scenarios, a higher number of climate models, and better methods for regional downscaling. An exposure prediction model was run with alternative climate model that accounted for specific environmental factors linked to the study area, chemical properties of the pesticides, and more realistic pesticide application scenarios. Our experiences from this case study will aid efforts to better account for uncertainty related to climate change in exposure modeling, effect assessment, and risk characterization. The graphical display of the BN model approach can also aid communication of risk under climate change scenarios to stakeholders such as policy makers and regulators.

On March 24, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum workshop entitled ‘Practical issues in updating IDF curves for future climate: ‘Physics’ vs climate models’, with Dr. Slobodan Simonovic of Western University. A tool for updating IDF curves for future climate (developed at Western and hosted by ICLR) has been in the public domain since March of 2015. It has over 700 registered users and averages 7,000 sessions per year. The direct use of global climate models (GCMs) and statistical downscaling procedures results in a range of values for updating IDF curves that immediately raises the question which one should be used in practice. At the same time, various discussions have been pointing to a ‘more robust’ alternative approach of using direct scaling of temperature - an approach based on ‘physics’ (Clausius-Clapeyron relationship). The main objectives of this presentation are (i) to provide comparative analysis of the IDF updating tool and ‘physics’ based approach of direct temperature scaling for Canada; and (ii) to provide more practical (engineering-based) guidance on how to use updated IDF relationships.
Slobodan P. Simonovic is globally recognized for his unique interdisciplinary research in Systems Analysis and the development of deterministic and stochastic simulations, optimization, multi criteria analysis, and other decision-making methodologies for addressing challenging system of systems problems lying at the confluence of society, technology and the environment, with applications in water resources management, hydrology, energy, climate change and public infrastructure, from a sustainable development perspective. His main contributions include modelling risk and resilience of complex systems.

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.

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).

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.
