Mapping the cleanweb sector: the IYWTo approachFrancesco Cara
This presentation, plus workshop, was shared at the Cleanweb UK Meetup on February 22, 2016 at the Impact Hub Westminster in London. It's a walkthrough the IYWTo platform we are building to map and promote digital projects to act on climate change. And an explanation of why we believe web innovation has a fundamental role to play in driving behavioural changes to tackle climate change. The IYWTo is illustrated by a series of examples. Two exercises close the presentation. We worked as a group to address the issue of speeding up the cleanweb mapping process and of engaging people with the cleanweb on the emotional level.
From Software to Manufacturing: how the open, agile and p2p revolution is com...Codemotion
The principles of open design, agility and cooperation are slowly coming out of the software world to conquer the real world of tangible objects and production. This talk will try to recap about most important emerging initiatives and will give an overall idea of the opportunities that the future will bring for individuals and businesses.
DIY Solar panel workshops from the UK to Africamcleankirk
A brief presentation draft on Increasing energy literacy, reducing energy demand and working for equality in Africa. Through building DIY solar panels, creating off‐grid energy systems and allowing people hands‐on access to the energy technologies of the future I inspire engagement in the issues and
challenges that will shape the world to come.
ESIP 2013 - Cleanweb: Leveraging IT to Drive Global Sustainability, Economic ...Blake Burris
ESIP Summer Meeting 2013, Chapel Hill, NC
Speakers: Blake Burris & Chris George
Thursday, July 11, 2013
This is a presentation on Cleanweb to ESIP (Federation of Earth Science Information Partners) conference session: Sustainability in the context of Energy-Water Nexus, Climate Change and Extreme Events.
More info: http://commons.esipfed.org/node/1463
Abstract:
Capital efficient, quick-to-market, IT-based solutions are driving smarter, more efficient energy use, enable the sharing economy, accelerate the adoption of clean technologies, and spread more sustainable behaviors globally. Accelerated growth in mobile, social, sensors, processing power, big data analytics, and other information technologies is creating powerful new opportunities to address the world’s critical resource challenges.
And just as information technology itself, the Cleanweb will continue to evolve in ways we can’t even imagine yet. The Cleanweb is a meme, a movement, a market, and a living, viral phenomenon − and perhaps the biggest impact and economic opportunity of our time.
In this session, we will focus on inspiring citizens to tackle constraint issues via hackathons and similar events in coordination with the public and private sector. As part of the discussion, we will outline how a global community of hackers and activists (hacktivists) are able to engage organizations ranging from well-known international organizations, like C40, to large government agencies, like New York City, to multi-national corporations, like Facebook and Twitter. Come and build with us.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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.
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.

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.
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.
