Phillis Wheatley was the first African American and first African enslaved in America to publish a book of poems in 1773. As the first published African American writer, her ability to write eloquently in English challenged the racist beliefs of the time that blacks were incapable of intellectual thought or artistic expression, beliefs which helped support the institution of slavery. In 1772, Wheatley underwent a trial where she had to prove her authorship of poems to 18 influential men, as her accomplishments questioned whether blacks were intellectually capable of literature.Ad

The OpenACC organization focuses on enhancing parallel computing skills and advancing interoperability in scientific applications through hackathons and training. The upcoming 2025 Open Accelerated Computing Summit (OACS) aims to explore the convergence of AI and HPC in scientific computing and foster knowledge sharing. This year's OACS welcomes talk submissions from a variety of topics, from Using Standard Language Parallelism to Computer Vision Applications. The document also highlights several open hackathons, a call to apply for NVIDIA Academic Grant Program and resources for optimizing scientific applications using OpenACC directives.Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and Sweco
Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software
油
Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdf

Hi, Im Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as Ive transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs Well talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is Fifth Element. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and Im impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldnt be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we dont know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didnt steal jobsthey transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.

Design patterns like Event Sourcing and Event Streaming have long become standards for building real-time analytics systems. However, when the system load becomes nonlinear with fast and often unpredictable spikes, it's crucial to respond quickly in order not to lose real-time operating itself.
In this talk, Ill share my experience implementing and using a tool like Temporal.io. We'll explore the evolution of our system for maintaining real-time report generation and discuss how we use Temporal both for short-lived pipelines and long-running background tasks.Wenn alles versagt - IBM Tape sch端tzt, was z辰hlt!
