A website or web site is a collection of related network web resources, such as web pages, multimedia content, which are typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server. Notable examples are wikipedia.org, google.com, and amazon.com.
That’s My App - Running in Your Background - Draining Your BatteryMichael Galpin
You have seen the ads where Android based devices like to brag about how awesome their multitasking is and now even the iPhone claims to have multitasking. Unfortunately it’s pseudo-multitasking borrowed from Android, but fear not. Android has “real” multitasking as well. It’s easy to do, but even easier to screw up. In this talk you’ll learn how to do it right, and how to do it without killing a phone’s battery. We’ll discuss the dreaded “P” word (polling), as well as alternatives such as Android’s cloud to device messaging and persistent connections.

WordPress vs Other Content Management SystemHTS Hosting
Deciding upon the type of content management system required for your website is a crucial task, however it is upto the user to choose between the top CMS i.e. WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. It also allows you to create, manage and modifies the content of your website without having to know about coding skills.
Have your say. As part of the whole Content Management System revolution, although WordPress is a viable option for today’s standards. But is it really all that it’s made out to be ?

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.

In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
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.

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.

26. WordPress is a useful
way of
understanding the
world we live in*
*I explain myself in the notes to these slides
02/23/10 2
Hello. My name is Joss. I work at the University of Lincoln, UK, in the Centre for
Educational Research and Development. We’ve been using WordPress for about two
years now. When I joined the university, I asked for my own server. If you’re going to do
research and development with educational technology, having your own server is a good
idea. I’m not an ‘IT guy’. I just think that if servers are the machines that run the code
that runs the ‘developed world’, I’d like to know how they work. Before I started working
at the university, I’d never taken any interest in WordPress or web applications in
general. I liked tinkering with Operating Systems in my spare time.
I like WordPress because it’s a useful way of framing the Internet. I’ve learned a lot by
approaching the web and WordPress in this way. Similarly, I learned a lot about
Operating Systems by using Linux.
27. People seem to like WordPress
wordpress.com
02/23/10 3
Why WordPress?
It’s popular. Millions of people choose to use it, support it and develop for it.
It’s flexible. Think of it as a web development platform, not just ‘blogging software’. The
development of WordPress tracks broader developments in web technology. Sometimes,
it leads them.
It’s open source. No license fees, no restrictions on use. You are part of a community.
Statistics: 25 million sites (http://en.wordpress.com/stats),
(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins), over 10000 plugins (
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes). around 1200 themes
Its use continues to grow (http://google.com/trends?q=wordpress,+blogger,
+movable+type,+typepad&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0)
28. Institutional benefits?
It's easier to support hundreds of blogs
on an institutional platform than
hundreds of blogs on third-party
services
02/23/10 4
The way the multi-site environment works means that I effectively support one blog,
rather than many. If a whole class of students needs blogs or adding to a single blog, I can
have this set up in minutes.
29. Enhances the university brand.
Open and progressive
Good academic content is good
SEO
02/23/10 5
All blogs get a university domain name. The university brand is valued by many staff and
students. The rapid production of generally good quality content is good SEO for the
university as a whole.
30. A WordPress Network is a
repository of research,
teaching and learning
02/23/10 6
Blog posts from across your WP platform can be aggregated into a single site for
browsing, searching. Imagine how useful an institutional archive might be if the majority
of staff and students used WordPress to write about their research, teaching and learning.
Instead of your institutional scholarly output being held in Word and PDF documents,
they can be published in modern, open web standards such as HTML and RSS. When
they’re published in this way, your collective research, teaching and learning, can be
visualised, interpreted and discovered in ways that are still being invented. Your content
will move with and benefit from progress made on the web.

31. “Can WordPress be a
VLE
PLE
LMS
CRM No!
ECMS
etc...?”
02/23/10 7
WordPress is a very versatile tool, but don't expect it to do everything. Organisations
really need to move away from thinking about 'one tool to rule them all'. It's tempting to
work this way because it's easier for people to learn just one tool and easier for
organisations to support just one tool. But if you want a VLE/CRM or ECMS, etc. I
would recommend you look elsewhere. Having said that, I do think that WordPress is a
good technology platform, so if you're prepared to invest the development time...
What is important in a publishing tool like WordPress, is that it's easy to get data in and
get data out. WordPress is superb in this respect and as a consequence, can work well
with other applications you choose to use.
Data formats like RSS/Atom and good Access Management (single-sign-on) are a way of
loosely joining applications into a whole. That is how the web works. That is how
institutional uses of the web should work, too.
32. It's Open Source.
What about support?
02/23/10 8
The community is huge and responsive to answering questions
htp://wordpress.org/support/
http://wordpress.org/support/forum/14
htp://buddypress.org/forums/
http://musupport.net/ (Paid – really good people, lots of experience, work closely with
WordPress core developers)
htp://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wordpress
For paid support and a growing community, I'd recommend:
htp://premium.wpmudev.org/ (Cheap)
http://vip.wordpress.com/support/ (Not so cheap, but proper 'enterprise support' with an
SLA. You'll get support from core WordPress developers)
34. ‘BuddyPress’
Just a set of
social networking
plugins for
WordPress.
No big deal.
02/23/10 10
Really. It’s no big deal.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
35. BuddyPress: Social Network
Blogs: Websites (optional)
WordPress Network: Administration
02/23/10 11
I find it useful to think of BuddyPress as a social networking layer, that sits on top of (or
in front of??) a WordPress Network. You can use BuddyPress all day long and never go
near a blog. In my experience, BuddyPress has made WordPress Networks easier for
people to use. People can create a WordPress blog in their own time but still participate
in the community. Over 95% of students use Facebook. BuddyPress is easier to use than
Facebook (and people don’t throw Zombies at each other).
36. Posts = dynamic content
Pages = static content
Categories = formal taxonomy
Tags = informal taxonomy
Widgets = versatile miscellany
*Custom post types in WP3
02/23/10 12
Understanding a few of the core WordPress concepts can help you imagine how you
might structure your website and what it might be used for.
37. Members = Find people
Groups = Identify with others
Activity = Track site-wide activity
Friends = Connect with peers
Messaging = Email
Profiles = Digital identity
(Forums = requires bbPress)
02/23/10 13
These are what BuddyPress brings to WordPress
38. It’s time to
stop thinking
about ‘blogs’
and start
thinking
about
WordPress
as a
technology
platform
02/23/10 14
Seriously. WordPress + BuddyPress is a platform for communities on the web. Each
‘blog’ can, in fact, be many different things.
39. This is a blog post about OPACPress, a project proposal to use a WordPress Network
as a library catalogue platform. It’s WordPress.com on its head, because it’s taking a
relatively small number of sites (<100) and populating them with up to 1m
records/blog posts. WordPress.com has millions of sites, each with relatively few
blog posts.
15
40. This is a blog post about using WordPress to author academic articles, with
supporting metadata.
16
41. This is a blog post about the variety of feeds available on a WordPress site.
17
42. This is a blog post about aggregating records from Institutional Repositories into
WordPress to provide a ‘social’ front-end to repository content, where people can
discuss the papers. I like Tony’s idea (in the comments) about using it to curate
journals from freely available repo content.
18
43. This is a blog post about HookPress, a plugin that integrates web hooks into
WordPress, for real-time actions and notifications. It also links to other posts I’ve
made about how XMPP, SUP, RSSCloud and PubSubHubbub are all easily integrated
through the use of plugins.
19
44. This is a blog post about our work on WriteToReply and JISCPress, using WordPress
as a document publishing platform for detailed comment, annotation and
deliberation.
http://writetoreply.org/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/digressit/
20
45. Journals
http://lncn.eu/ce6
02/23/10 21
I also run Open Journal Systems at the University of Lincoln. I’m torn between using
WordPress or OJS. OJS is a good tool, but because it supports what can be a complex
workflow of blind-peer-review, it’s also quite difficult for some people to use. I think
WordPress would make a decent journal publishing tool and it would be easier to use at
the expense of losing some specific functionality which OJS provides.
There’s a WordPress Publishers blog that highlights how WordPress is being used for
different types of web publishing. For managing the journal workflow, plugins like these
might be useful: http://publisherblog.automattic.com/2009/06/02/wordpress-plugins-
collaboration-emails/
46. Scientific Publishing
http://lncn.eu/ci5
02/23/10 22
With the LaTeX plugin, authors can publish scientific formulae. It’s supported in the
comments, too. So reviewers can use LaTeX in their responses.
