iTRACK
The intelligent track system
Simply intelligent
A track system is an ideal solution for large spaces where many luminaires have to work in unison. This level of functionality, unfortunately, often comes at a price. Complex and time intensive installation is a traditional characteristic of these solutions, where the slightest change easily transforms into an in-depth project. Limitations within the track systems of today often force a choice between functions and types of fixture. That’s why Fagerhult developed iTrack; a system which refuses to compromise.

As presented at AIST 2014: This presentation describes how Multi-Facility SCADA and Historian solutions can be used within Steel Mill Plants as the single interface for monitoring and controlling all Steel Mill Facility Building Management Systems. This solution helps facility operations operate and maintain their buildings from a single environment without having to use multiple Building Management Systems, while maintaining all existing multi-vendor hardware by using software solutions for direct connectivity to the buildings control system, and without the need for hardware gateways. As a result, Steel Mill Plant Facility Operations see increased operating expenses and more maintenance time spent on maintaining, training and operating these disparate management systems.
Power Strategies for Data Center Efficiency – Identifying Cost Reduction Opportunities
In a survey conducted by the Uptime Institute, enterprise data center managers responded that 42% of them expected to run out of power capacity within 12-24 months and another 23% claimed that they would run out of power capacity in 24-60 months. Greater attention to energy efficiency and consumption is critical.

Practical Options for Deploying IT Equipment in Small Server Rooms and Branch...Schneider Electric
Small server rooms and branch offices are typically unorganized, unsecure, hot, unmonitored, and space constrained. These conditions can lead to system downtime or, at the very least, lead to “close calls” that get management’s attention. Practical experience with these problems reveals a short list of effective methods to improve the availability of IT operations within small server rooms and branch offices. This paper discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this paper is on small server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load.
Basic Concepts for an Integrated Steel Process Control SystemSchneider Electric
For the past few years, the market was preoccupied with discussions about terminology such as: distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and the “newcomers” hybrid control systems (HCS) and programmable automation controllers (PAC), and how each should be applied to steel and metals processing applications. Steel manufacturing is an industry that requires specific approaches for control systems; it mixes process, machines, discrete control, several motors, high-availability systems and involves massive amounts of variables and architectures that requires flexible topologies. Better understand these technologies, myths and facts, and learn the real needs and trends for control systems in steel and metals industries, regardless of labels and acronyms.

Do IT administrators violate arc flash requirements
when they turn off or reset a branch circuit breaker?
What about swapping out a rack power strip? Most
data center operators are familiar with fire safety and
shock hazard protection, but are less familiar with arc
flash safety. Three IT trends have increased the
severity of a potential arc flash in the IT space; higher
data center capacities, higher rack densities, and
higher efficiency designs.
This paper discusses these three trends in the context
of arc flash safety within the IT space. Arc flash is
explained, potential areas of concern in the IT space
are identified, and compliance with associated regulations
is discussed.

Presented at the 2013 Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration Annual Meeting (SME 2013). Severe weather conditions can affect several aspects of the mining operations including blasting, planning and scheduling, people safety, and flooding. An advanced weather system should deliver real-time critical weather information able to support mining operations and people safety through weather forecast, lightning information, precipitation forecasts, and alerts.
Electric utilities are preparing for the multitude of challenges facing the industry — limited generation to supply increasing energy demand, growing regulatory and customer pressure for increased reliability and reduced carbon emissions, adoption of distributed renewable generation and energy storage, and the inevitability of both an aging workforce and infrastructure.
In a rather short period of time, these challenges have converged, and in doing so, have exposed the need for a comprehensive distribution network monitoring, analysis, and control system.
Utilities that are proactive — building business cases and deploying scalable solutions now — will be best prepared to meet the challenges of today and the future.

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).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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”.
