Amazon Web Services Continues to Dominate the Cloud Infrastructure: According to Synergy Research Group’s report, not much has changed in 2017’s cloud infrastructure leaderboard. The paramount benchmark of 34% cloud share for AWS left behind the richest IT Company Microsoft at 11%, while IBM and Google at 8% and 5% respectively. In the wake of tremendous technological development, where Technology has spread its unforeseen wings, manufacturers continue to feed on the long term consumption plan development by engulfing consumers into IoT and cloud services. With Technology field showing the highest consumption of over 78.20%, other cloud consuming industries have surfaced with almost negligible indexes, namely Consumer Services 10.49%, Consumer Goods 6.21% and Finance 5.1%.
Tech Experts Forecast an Unprecedented Upsurge in Global Public Cloud Services: The world, where virtual realities have started to take precedence over the concrete ones, predicts a blasting expansion of cloud services in the upcoming years. Rapid expansion of cloud infrastructure due to the era defining fields of Web services, IoT and Artificial Intelligence is likely to surface soon. With the current capital of over $260 Billion, it aims to expand at least with a massive $50 Billion capital inclusion per year in the coming years. See below infographic for more details.

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.
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.
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.

Supply chain Case study - Manufacturing Organization
1. idexcel
Supply chain Case study
Manufacturing Organization
Client Profile
The company is focused on global distribution of materials
and complex technical services for the production and manufacturing sectors in the aerospace industry. The company
has global presence with a functioning network of companies, branches and agencies. A sophisticated warehouse,
logistics and information logistics system with central and
branch warehouses provides the basis for rapid delivery
with lowest-possible inventories. All customers receive
their materials not only just in time, but in exactly the sizes
and shapes they need, whether as one-off items or in large
quantities.
Goals
The Supply Chain partners have to offer an array of precision processing services to improve cycle time and efficiency with cut-to-size, machine-ready material and shipped
just-in-time for their clients.
Synchronize demand/supply, order, and inventory information across all branches
Establish a highly coordinated set of supply chain
processes and transportation mechanisms to ensure
on-time delivery of all assemblies
Idexcel Customer Case Study
Eliminate latency in communicating demand/supply
change and change impacts across branches
Ensure continuity of supply while minimizing supply
disruptions
Improve on just-in-time delivery and ship-to-commit
date with the end customer
Provide visibility to all partners involved in the delivery of
the completed assemblies.
Challenges
The existing applications/tools were not on an integrated
platform, resulting in inefficient management of the manufacturing and logistics processes. The Client needed an
integrated solution for all the branches, covering the
end-to-end supply chain process, along with seamless
integration with their externally supported applications.
Find new ways to manage complex processes across
multiple supply chain tiers for their branches
Visibility and control into demand/supply and execution
processes in order to reduce complexity, risk and cost
2. To facilitate effective collaboration, there must be a trusted, single source of truth to evaluate real-time performance across the branch network
Process automation with performance filters that allow
management by exception and early identification of
potential problems anywhere in the supply chain.
Solution
The end-to-end solution implemented by Idexcel was
designed to allow the company and its branches to collaborate on planning schedules, issue work orders, track work
order changes, plan cutting jobs, manage finished item
inventory (super market), exchange shipping information,
track shipments, and manage inventory consumption,
across the branches involved in the manufacturing process.
The reporting capabilities have allowed client and its
branches to track the overall performance of the supply
chain process.
The solution was developed using Microsoft technologies
WPF, WCF with MVVM architecture. Visual Studio 2010
with C# language on .Net framework 4.0 has been used to
build the software components. SQL Server 2008 was used
as the backend data storage. The user interface (UI) developed with WPF, has been designed for improved user experience, resulting in efficient data handling and user friendly
navigations. On the server side, WCF technology has been
used to develop the middleware layer (BAL, DAL) components, allowing easy future new developments. This
solution has also been designed to integrate with SAP and
other in-house engineering applications/tools that are used
in their production process.
The Agile project management methodology was used to
execute this project, involving creation of product backlog,
sprints planning, release management and effective project
communication.
Idexcel Customer Case Study
Benefits
The client realized the following major benefits from the
solution we implemented.
Eliminated latency in communicating demand/supply
changes across multiple branches
Ensured continuity of supply and minimized supply
disruptions through the real-time synchronization of
demand with available supply
Improved on-time delivery to the end customer while
minimizing logistics costs
Eliminated many of the manual activities associated with
the manufacturing and logistics processes
Reporting and analysis for continued process improvement.
