Possibilistic prediction and risk analyses
A talk given at the EA annual Conference, Bonn, May 2015
Abstract:
It is in the nature of complex systems that predictions that give a probability are not possible.
Indeed I argue that giving "the most likely" or "rough" prediction is more harmful than useful.
Rather an approach which maps out some of the possible outcomes is outlined.
Agent-based modelling is ideal for producing these - including, crucially, possibilities that could not have been conceived just by thinking about it (due to the fact that events can combine in ways that are more complex than the human brain can cope with directly).
A characterisation of the real future possibilities and their nature allows some positive responses to events:
* putting in place 'early warning indicators' for the emergence of identified possibilities
* contingency planning for when they are indicated.
Such an approach would allow policy makers to better 'drive' their decision making, without abnegating responsibility to experts.

“What a waste of money”
IT Project Failure and how to avoid it
This white paper examines the reasons why IT projects fail. The results of several studies are presented, and the trends for failure rates
examined. A number of reasons for project failure are considered, and recommendations are made as to how project failure may be
avoided.
It’s almost an unwritten rule that IT projects fail - or at least a significant number of them do! IT Projects do not need to fail,
but it seems to have become an acceptable norm. The reasons why they fail have not changed much over the past 15 years,
and neither have the rates of failure. Although there have been many attempts to propose simple guidelines, which, it has
been argued, can change IT project success rates significantly, projects continue to fail.
In the following sections we will consider what is meant by project failure, and then look at the results of studies that provide
figures for IT project failure rates. We will examine the reasons why they fail, and consider ways to avoid project failure.

US Navy Instruction Confirms Retirement of Nuclear Tomahawk Cruise MissileDaniel Ross
Although the U.S. Navy has yet to make a formal announcement that the nuclear Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile (TLAM/N) has been retired, a new updated navy instruction shows that the weapon is gone.
The evidence comes not in the form of an explicit statement, but from what has been deleted from the U.S. Navy’s instruction Department of the Navy Nuclear Weapons Responsibilities and Authorities (SECNAVINST 8120.1A).
While the previous version of the instruction from 2010 included a whole sub-section describing TLAM/N responsibilities, the new version published on February 15, 2013, contains no mentioning of the TLAM/N at all and the previous sub-section has been deleted.
Evaluation is a systematic process to understand what a program does and how well the program does it. Evaluation results can be used to maintain or improve program quality and to ensure that future planning can be more evidence-based.

importance of resources allocation in formal method of software engineering ...abdulrafaychaudhry
Project management is a very wide area of work, particularly in business. It covers many different topics which can be broken into even smaller particles. Work of a project manager is not only about giving people orders and telling them what to do. Many people limit their work of a project manager to supervising their employees and making sure everyone meets their deadline. But a good project manager knows it’s more than that.
Resource allocation in project management is one of those particles which make work of a good PM effective and significant. And even though it may seem simple, it is actually crucial in delivering a great project.
Resource allocation in project management is concerned with creating a plan which can help achieve future goals. There are many resources which have to be allocated when managing a project, beginning from budget to equipment and tools, to data and the project’s plan.
How To Allocate Resources
Resource allocation in project management is so important because it gives a clear picture on the amount of work that has to be done. It also helps to schedule ahead and have an insight into the team’s progress, including allocating the right amount of time to everyone on the team.
Resource allocation allows to plan and prepare for the project’s implementation or achieving goals. It is also possible to analyze existing threats and risks to the project.
But above all, resource allocation in project management helps to control all the workload. This, as a result, contributes to team’s effectiveness at work and what follows later is a satisfying and exhaustive project.
The Disaster Recovery Plan Sumanth Lagadapati[email protecte.docxtodd241
The Disaster Recovery Plan
Sumanth Lagadapati
[email protected]
Introduction
Many companies don’t have a disaster recovery plan often there is a desire for a DRP.
The level of effort and\or cost required to create DRP can cause this project to have a low priority relative to other more immediate projects.
A DRP is viewed as "nice to have" or "just insurance that will not be used ", and not as a critical business component.
That is, until there is a failure that causes a significant outage or loss of data (often at a significant cost to the business).
It is my opinion that every company could benefit from both a disaster recovery plan and a business continuity plan (BCP)
Investing in a DRP and BCP is just as an important for most business in my opinion.
Where do you start?
The first step is to create a DR team and this includes an:
Executive sponsor.
DR coordinator.
Team leaders (there will be several groups and possibly subgroups).
Team members.
This people should be designated as either primary or backup for position, with every position having more than one person assigned this to minimize people as a single point of failure.
The goal is to have the expertise to help develop the various recovery procedures, and is committed to success of the overall effort.
Where do you start? cont…
The next step is to define business goals.
The goal should address items such as:
What functional areas need to be recovered?
What length of time is acceptable for recovery?
What amount of data loss is acceptable?
This often involves prioritization and a cost-benefit analysis to determine the worth of recovery (i.e. something that may be premature at this phase of the project).
Understand the business goals and objectives
To find out what that really entails you must know:
What are the critical systems?
What are the key processes and applications?
What are the dependencies on other systems?
This includes:
Data transfers.
Manual processes
Remote processing
Then documents these processes.
Because there is interaction with dependencies on other systems and user interface, and the sensitivity of the data.
Once the systems have been identified, attempt to quantify their impact relative to the overall business goals.
Identify specific requirements
Everyone involve with this effort (including upper management within a company) needs to have a single vision of what success look like, without this you risk wasting time and money on a plan that may be viewed as a failure.
Identify key personnel
These people may not be part of the DR team, but they are important. (For example who has the authority to declare a disaster?)
This list should be maintained both by name and by role; it should be validated and updated frequently.
Identify single point of failure
The overall goal of this step is to mitigate unnecessary risk.
The scope of this effort includes people, software, equipment, and infrastructure.

Root cause analysis of why many DOD programs fail to deliver required capabilities within the planned time and budget has shown causes for failure begin with the buyer not knowing what “done looks like” before releasing the Request for Proposal (RFP). These are corrected with better guidance for preparing Measures of Effectiveness, Measures of Performance, and Key Performance Parameters in the RFP.
Twelve Risks to Enterprise Software Projects—And What to Do about ThemTechWell
Every large software project is unique—each with its own complex array of challenges. When projects get into trouble, however, they often exhibit similar patterns, and succumb to risks that could have been anticipated and prevented—or detected sooner and managed better. Common responses to the problems—blaming, deferring action, or outright denial—only make things worse. Payson Hall reviews a dozen patterns he has observed over and over again on troubled projects during his thirty-year career: trouble with subcontractors, challenges with project sponsors, friction within the team, perils of interfacing with adjacent systems, issues with data cleansing and conversion, and more. Payson shares the tools he uses to help identify the symptoms of common risks, reduce the likelihood of risks occurring, facilitate early detection of problems, and establish a foundation for helpful responses when problems arise. This session is designed for project managers, team leaders, project sponsors, and anyone responsible for building or rolling out large enterprise 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.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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. PROJECT MANAGER HIGH RISKS
Missing Requirements: These requirements is needed by the System to be
developed to meet the Company Goals and Objectives of the project.
Key and Critical Resources: Are lost to the project with a potential impact of
losing resources for any given period of Time will go beyond the will become
critical.
Missing or Incomplete Skills Sets: This results in Risks events will remain
the same as the results in a bad estimate.
4. CUSTOMERS HIGH RISKS
Requirements are only partly known at the beginning of the project. The Customers
may not allocate the sufficient resources when exploring these requirements. These
customers may not accept the delivery of the system, when it really doesn’t meet
the goals. As Project Team should always update these regularly and reviewed by
customers from Time to Time.
5. ARCHITECT HIGH RISKS
There are Two Levels of Risks that is considered:
1. Initial Level of Risk – This risk is categorized for prior in determine and
inadquated the Mitigating actions.
2. Residual Level of Risk – In this type of risk is also categorized after
implemented of mitigating actions “if any”.

10. SUMMARY OF WEEK 4 INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
Within this Scenario the IT Project Plan, the Company gave a task to come up with a System
that meets the Four Companies in other States Vision. The Issues that will arise for this Project
Team, is base on collecting all necessary Data to be able to gather enough information to
begin. If you look at the First Constraint “Time” is will be off if these Companies doesn’t deliver
the requirements. Next in the Constraint you have the “Cost” where the risk can easily go
higher than what the Budget was set by Company Financial Board. And not least but last on the
Constraint is your “Scope” that if these other Four Companies start sending information that
going to be used within the Project Plan; if you try to alter the plan you can cause the 3
Constraint “known as the Triangle”; this would make this IT Project Plan to go in another
Direction. What I call going “Offline” Meaning taking the Project Plan from what the Company
vision set to accomplish.
