Day three at the #INCOSEIS Conference was just as exciting and inspiring as the previous days! Here's a quick recap of the highlights and key takeaways: Starting the day: Mark Kelly's keynote from AI Ireland & AI Awards Founder on "AI in Action: Applications Transforming the World and Their Unintended Consequences" was fascinating. I learned about Zero Shot learning, AI Agents, Stop T-Shirts, and Devin. Olivier Dessoude's presentation: "Gulliver’s Journey into TechOps" was very engaging and gave a great preview of what to expect at IW25 in Sevilla. Barclay R. Brown, Ph.D., ESEP: Kept us in the AI theme with his electronic pop song "Living in a Generative World" during his presentation "Survey of LLM Applications for SE". Adriana D'Souza: Brought insightful revelations on "Traceability - A Vision for Now and Tomorrow". David Long: Continued with another exciting talk "Making the Digital Thread Work - Digital Data Packages". His reminder that "Engineering doesn’t require all data at all times!" was particularly thought-provoking. Ed Serzo (SSI): Concluded with a compelling discussion on "Optimizing Systems Engineering Workflows through Novel Application of LLM". Conference Dinner: The day ended with a great conference dinner featuring excellent food and superior local music, creating the perfect atmosphere for networking and relaxation. Overall, another day full of learning, networking, and innovative ideas. Looking forward to more engaging sessions and discussions tomorrow! #SystemsEngineering #Conference #Networking #Innovation #INCOSE #SystemsEngineers #EngineeringNetworking #EngineeringFuture #systems #aerospace #defense #automotive #Dublin #templebar

Great news for Denmark! Today marks the inauguration of "Gefion," one of the most powerful AI supercomputers in the world. Earlier this year, Eviden signed a contract with the Danish Centre for AI Innovation, owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark. The inauguration ceremony featured notable attendees, including: - His Majesty King Frederik X - Jensen Huang (CEO, NVIDIA) - Morten Bødskov (Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs) - Nadia Carlsten (CEO, Danish Centre for AI Innovation) - Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen (CEO, Novo Nordisk Foundation) - Peder Lundquist (CEO, Export and Investment Fund of Denmark) - Emmanuel LeRoux (Head of Global Big Data & Security at Eviden, Atos Group) Gefion aims to accelerate research and innovation in healthcare, life sciences, and the green transition, prioritizing the highest level of security to support Danish data sovereignty. Key projects include: - The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) is employing Gefion to provide quicker and more precise weather forecasts, cutting down forecast times from hours to minutes and reducing energy usage. - At the University of Copenhagen, researchers are utilizing Gefion for large-scale simulations of quantum computer circuits, advancing towards "quantum supremacy." - A joint initiative involving the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark, Novo Nordisk, and Novonesis is using Gefion to create a multi-modal genomic foundation model for analysing disease mutations and designing vaccines.
