The maintenance cost of wind farms is one of the major factors influencing the prof- itability of wind projects. During preventive maintenance, the shutdown of wind turbines results in downtime wind energy losses. Appropriate determination of when to perform maintenance and which turbine(s) to maintain can reduce the overall downtime losses sig- nificantly. This paper uses a wind farm power generation model to evaluate downtime energy losses during preventive maintenance for a given group of wind turbines in the en- tire array. Wakes effects are taken into account to accurately estimate energy production over a specified time period. In addition to wind condition, the influence of wake effects is a critical factor in determining the selection of turbine(s) under maintenance. To min- imize the overall downtime loss of an offshore wind farm due to preventive maintenance, an optimal scheduling problem is formulated that selects the maintenance time of each turbine. Weather conditions are imposed as constraints to ensure the safety of mainte- nance personnel, transportation, and tooling infrastructure. A genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimal scheduling problem. The maintenance scheduling is optimized for a utility-scale offshore wind farm with 25 turbines. The optimized schedule not only reduces the overall downtime loss by selecting the maintenance dates when wind speed is low, but also considers the wake effects among turbines. Under given wind direction, the turbines under maintenance are usually the ones that can generate strong wake effects on others during certain wind conditions, or the ones that generate relatively less power being under excessive wake effects.

Ein deutsches Pharmaunternehmen, mit importierten Arzneimittel aus europäischen Ländern, setzt sehr auf Sicherheit. Mit dieser Gewährleistung ist deren Serialisierungsprojekt ein gutes Vorzeigemodell. Ich denke an ein bestimmtes Unternehmen, EurimPharm, Hersteller für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte mit einem jährlichen Absatz von 6 Millionen Packungen in Deutschland.

How can publishers do more for their customers? This summary from the 2015 Future book Forum captures the key learnings and activities from the event looking to answer that question. Four opportunities for publishers and printers emerged to help turning declining industry into a booming one.
Splunk is a powerful platform that can harness your machine data and turn it into valuable information thereby enabling your business to make informed decisions, taking your organization from reactive to proactive. Just like any other platform, Splunk is only as powerful as the data it has access to, therefore in this session we will be conducting a walk thru of how to successfully on-board data, with samples of data ranging from simple to complex. We will also be taking a look at how to use common TA’s to bring valuable data into Splunk. This session is designed to give you a better understanding of how to onboard data into Splunk enabling you to unlock the power of your data.

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!
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.

With each of the past 3 Ruby releases, YJIT has delivered higher and higher performance. However, we are seeing diminishing returns, because as JIT-compiled code becomes faster, it makes up less and less of the total execution time, which is now becoming dominated by C function calls. As such, it may appear like there is a fundamental limit to Ruby’s performance.
In the first half of the 20th century, some early airplane designers thought that the speed of sound was a fundamental limit on the speed reachable by airplanes, thus coining the term “sound barrier”. This limit was eventually overcome, as it became understood that airflow behaves differently at supersonic speeds.
In order to break the Ruby performance barrier, it will be necessary to reduce the dependency on C extensions, and start writing more gems in pure Ruby code. In this talk, I want to look at this problem more in depth, and explore how YJIT can help enable writing pure-Ruby software that delivers high performance levels.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
