AWS re:Invent 2016: AWS Database State of the Union (DAT320)Amazon Web Services
Raju Gulabani, vice president of AWS Database Services (AWS), discusses the evolution of database services on AWS and the new database services and features we launched this year, and shares our vision for continued innovation in this space. We are witnessing an unprecedented growth in the amount of data collected, in many different shapes and forms. Storage, management, and analysis of this data requires database services that scale and perform in ways not possible before. AWS offers a collection of such database and other data services like Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon EMR to process, store, manage, and analyze data. In this session, we provide an overview of AWS database services and discuss how our customers are using these services today.
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL-compatible database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. This session introduces you to Amazon Aurora, explains common use cases for the service, and helps you get started with building your first Amazon Aurora–powered application.
AWS re:Invent 2016: Amazon Aurora Best Practices: Getting the Best Out of You...Amazon Web Services
Amazon Aurora is a fully managed relational database engine that provides higher performance, availability and durability than previously possible using conventional monolithic database architectures. After launching a year ago, we continued adding many new features and capabilities to Aurora. In this session AWS Aurora experts will discuss the best practices that will help you put these capabilities to the best use. You will also hear from Amazon Aurora customer Intercom on the best practices they adopted for moving live databases with over two billion rows to a new datastore in Amazon Aurora with almost no downtime or lost records.
Intercom was founded to provide a fundamentally new way for Internet businesses to communicate with customers at scale. For growing startups like Intercom, it’s natural for the load on datastores to grow on a weekly basis. The usual solution to this problem is to get a bigger box from AWS. But very soon you reach a point where bigger boat is not an option anymore. You will learn about the benefits of moving to such a datastore, the problems it introduced, and all about the new ability for scaling that was not there before.

AWS re:Invent 2016: Workshop: Using the Database Migration Service (DMS) for ...Amazon Web Services
It can help you do much more. You can use DMS to consolidate multiple databases into a single database or split a single database into multiple databases. You can also use DMS for data distribution to multiple systems. For both of these use cases your source database can be outside of AWS (on premises) or in AWS (EC2 or RDS). DMS can also be used for near real-time replication of data. Replication can be done to one or more targets within AWS, in the same region or across regions. You can also replicate data from databases within AWS to databases outside of AWS. In this session we will discuss all these usage patterns and help you try them out yourselves.
Prerequisites:
You should have good database knowledge and at least some experience with Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora.
Participants should have an AWS account established and available for use during the workshop.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

Using the AWS Database Migration Service to migrate data to AWS is simple.
(CLICK) Start by spinning up a DMS instance in your AWS environment
(CLICK) Next, from within DMS, connect to both your source and target databases
(CLICK) Choose what data you want to migrate. DMS lets you migrate tables, schemas, or whole databases
Then sit back and let DMS do the rest. (CLICK) It creates the tables, loads the data, and best of all, keeps them synchronized for as long as you need
That replication capability, which keeps the source and target data in sync, allows customers to switch applications (CLICK) over to point to the AWS database at their leisure.DMS eliminates the need for high-stakes extended outages to migrate production data into the cloud. DMS provides a graceful switchover capability.
The AWS Schema Conversion Tool is a development environment that you download to your desktop and use to save time when migrating from Oracle and SQL Server to next-generation cloud databases such as Amazon Aurora.
You can convert database objects such as tables, indexes, views, stored procedures, and Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements like SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE.
