Priming the U.S. Grid for High-Powered Electric Vehicle ChargingBlack & Veatch
There are growing infrastructure requirements needed to meet the demand for electric vehicles in the United States. The more infrastructure required for EVs, the more energy will be needed to power the charging stations for the EVs. Collaboration among stakeholders is key in the adoption of mass scale EV infrastructure in communities across the country.

Smart Cities are interconnected, sustainable, low carbon cities striving to be more competitive, livable and attract more investment than traditional counterparts. The vision spans mobility, transport, buildings, infrastructure, energy and water management, security, even healthcare and governance. The market will grow to $1.5 Trillion in 2020.
This integrated technology market is driving extraordinary M&A opportunity, and on May 20, 2014 we sit down with several industry luminaries to discuss growth and exit strategies in this market.
If you are building a company capable of becoming an important thread in the smart city fabric, one that can flourish in the middle ground where sustainability and carbon friendly technologies create better living conditions, competitive and economic advantage, then you won’t want to miss this event.
The culmination of the megatrends of urbanization, climate change, digitalization and societal expectations in the context of a global pandemic has meant that
organizations have struggled with their capital investments and knowing how to respond to what’s coming next.
In tandem, The Big Quit is happening. This exacerbates the issues - businesses are paralyzed by not being able to find the people or skills that they need to move forward.
For technology companies, in particular, the focus was around aligning capacity to the demands of remote workers and shoppers. Now that these demands have been met, most are considering what comes next.
Against the backdrop of a seismic shift in societal expectations, businesses are having to step–up in the fight against climate change and inequity in a variety of people-based issues.

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.

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.
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!

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.
