For many, Serverless is yet another technical solution for their IT and business challenges. But by correlating Serverless with digital innovation and other business evolutions, we can gain greater insights. During this presentation we will run through several reference cases in which Serverless application design and development on Amazon Web Services has positively influenced the business of our customers. This will be a non-technical session.

Modern workplace environments are rapidly becoming cyber attackers’ prime target, because of the broad attack surface that our cloud-based digitalization offers. We, as an employee in the office or at home are always ‘connected’ and we are mixing personal with professional matters all the time. With BYOD (bring your own device) policies and all those cool SaaS cloud apps we love to use; company data and users are moving constantly outside the network perimeter of the company. Recent breaches clearly demonstrate that the traditional network security approach doesn’t work anymore within this ever-changing cyber threat landscape. Securing a modern workplace across identities, endpoints, user data, cloud apps and infrastructure becomes quite a challenge. Stopping cyber attackers’ threats requires an innovative approach, with evolving technology powered by AI & machine learning. In this session we will give you a sneak peak of the current tactics cyber attackers are using to get their foot between the door and how modern cyber defense tooling is used to detect and stop these threats.

In this era of Big Data, finding suitable data to automate a task is often still a challenge for Machine Learning professionals. This is certainly the case in Natural Language Processing, the subdomain of Artificial Intelligence that is concerned with the automatic processing of texts, as in machine translation, text classification, etc. In those tasks, the quality of the results crucially depends on the amount of available data in a given language and a given domain (CVs, medical texts, etc.). To fix this problem, researchers are focusing more attention on ways of training better models with less data. In this presentation, Yves will discuss the recent trends in this domain and show how they have helped his company NLP Town develop NLP solutions.

Tired of repetitive and manual tasks in your organization? Need more hands to process high volume transactions across various applications? Ever heard of a virtual workforce that can take over these repetitive actions? In this inspiring session, we will introduce the Robotics Process Automation (or RPA) technology with its facts & myths and prove that the technology is mature and irreplaceable for the digitalization of the workforce. We will also prove the power of intelligent automation by combining RPA with AI technology like chatbots and intelligent OCR.

Quantum computers are coming, that much everybody can agree on. But nobody seems to really know what they are going to do, and when we might expect them. Many have already read how quantum computing is going to break the (encryption of) the internet, but turns out that quantum computers have many other applications that will change the world. In this gentle introduction to quantum computing we will start with an overview of these possible applications to get a feel why we want quantum computing before moving on to how it works. We will try to build up an intuitive understanding of quantum computing from the basic principles of quantum mechanics, but as the famous physicist Richard Feynmann once put it: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”. Challenge accepted!

Virtual reality is the term used to describe a three-dimensional, computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and whilst there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions. It is the creation of a virtual environment presented to our senses in such a way that we experience it as if we were really there. The technology is becoming cheaper and more widespread. Not only Zuckerberg is working on the democratization of VR. Due to the decline in the prices for the headsets, the new tracking possibilities and the social VR functionalities, a new wind is blowing through the VR landscape. We see already that different companies are using Virtual reality is not only used for gaming buth also for other use case like HR: In the application phase, Virtual reality can be very practical as a visualization and what the job will involve for the applicant. Sales: Huge machines such as pitchers are difficult to take to the customer as a demo. Virtual reality can pull the customer over the line thanks to a virtual demo. After sales & remote support: To be able to recognize objects from a machine built by a customer and to provide remote support for them. Here also augmented reality can help. The following topics will be discussed: What is Virtual Reality? Why should we need it? VR hardware Comparison(Oculus/HTC Vive) Platform comparison(Unity vs Unreal) Possibilities now vs future Use cases Success stories

Reactive Programming begint meer en meer door te dringen in de Java wereld. Deze programmeerstijl waarbij message-driven en data-streams centraal staat beloofd een betere schaalbaarheid en weerbaarheid van onze applicaties. Deze andere manier van programmeren vraagt echter ook een ander soort architectuur onze systemen. We kijken naar hoe je de architectuur van je applicaties in lijn brengt met het gebruik van reactive streams, en welke voordelen dat deze manier van werken kan aanbieden.
