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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
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.

3. RECYCLIA is the environmental Platform that brings together the experience, knowledge and human team of Integrated
Management Systems.
Under the legal form of Economic Interest Grouping (EIG), Recyclia is a non profit organization that encompasses the following
foundations:
Founded in 1998. The responsible response from the batteries and accumulators sector to the need to
adequately manage used batteries and accumulators.
Founded in 1999. Pioneering initiative of telephone and communications equipment financed by the major
manufacturers.
Who is Recyclia?
Founded in 2002. Custom solution for computer equipments promoted by the main
manufacturers of the sector.
Founded in 2005. It allows the rest of manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipments
(IT, photography, healthcare, gaming machines, surveillance and control, etc..) to comply with Royal
Decree 208/2005
For over 14 years, we contribute to the collection and responsible recycling of WEEE and used batteries in Spain.
4. 4
The WEEE management challenge
• Electrical and electronic devices are used more and more and their obsolescent rhythms are
increasingly fast:
– A European citizen generates 14 kilos of "technological trash" and this amount will
double in 2017
• Benefits derived from WEEE recycling:
• Recovery of scarce and valuable raw material. URBAN MINING.
• Saving energetic and natural resources
• Waste management to minimize the potential impact on the environment and health, by
adequately closing a life cycle of these products.
5. Change of approach
5
Shared responsibility
“Polluter pays” principle
Extended producer responsibility
Transfer of responsibility from the Holder or the
Administration
to the “Producer” of the
product that becomes
waste at the end of its
useful life
Consumers
Economic agents
responsible for placing
products on the market
Public Administrations
New Role
‘Life Cycle Thinking’
“Producer”= First commercial agent
(manufacturer, importer, distributor)
6. • Several producers decide to join efforts to organize waste management. Collective System.
• Facilitates delivery of waste by users in collection points for that purpose, regardless of brands.
• All economical agents involved (producers, distributors, recyclers, users and Administration)
take part in the System.
• Costs optimization.
• Economies of scale thanks to the volume of waste management.
• Unique voice before Administrations.
Challenge/ Reality: IMS. Characteristics
7. Our operational model
• National coverage for WEEE and used batteries collection from domestic, industrial and
professional origin.
• Custom collection in areas with significant stockpiles of waste
• Network of Temporary Waste Storage Facilities (TWSF) for the delivery and consolidation of
small stockpiles of waste.
• Collaboration agreements with logistic agents as well as treatment plants specialized in WEEE
and batteries recycling.
