System z Technology Summit Streamlining UtilitiesSurekha Parekh
Most DB2 applications are global non-stop, requiring almost
100% accessibility. Availability demands reduce the amount
of time available to perform necessary routine tasks, such as
utility maintenance on the underlying data and objects stored
in DB2 for z/OS that support critical business applications. In
addition, companies are looking for ways to streamline DB2 utility
processing to maximize system and personnel resources. How
valuable would it be to maximize your use of IBM DB2 Utilities
Suite for z/OS for both DB2 9 and DB2 10? What if you could
establish DB2 utility practices at a company level and know
that they would be monitored and adhered to? Do you want
to reduce your batch window during utility sort processing to
improve availability and performance? How important would it
be to run utilities only on objects when and if it’s necessary?

Fusion Cloud Data Centers: a new high tech frontierfestival ICT 2016
Il cloud computing rappresenta una vera rivoluzione nel mondo dell’IT come lo è stato a suo tempo l’evoluzione dal modello mainframe a quello client-server.
In questo contesto, le aziende si trovano oggi ad affrontare sfide come il Big Data, Sap Hana, il consolidamento di realtà spesso etereogenee e la necessità di far fronte cicli di rinnovamento tecnologico brevissimi.
Per una soluzione IT oggi più importante che una mera cost reduction, è la capacità di migliorare i processi di business velocizzando i tempi di implementazione e rendendo più semplice la gestione della soluzione stessa.
Nascono paradigmi come “Data Center on demand” o “Software Defined Data Center”: consolidare l’infrastruttura IT in un unico pool di risorse virtualizzate da assegnare dinamicamente (on demand) ai livelli applicativi.
Si evince come punto chiave la necessità di una tecnologia convergente, scalabile, performante in grado di proteggere gli investimenti delle aziende oggi sempre più mirati in un mercato in forte contrazione.
Fusion Cloud è la risposta di Huawei a questi quesiti: ponendosi come one stop shop, Huawei è uno dei pochissimi vendor in grado di fornire soluzioni integrate di computing, storage e networking.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
