Data Warehouse Design and Best PracticesIvo Andreev
A data warehouse is a database designed for query and analysis rather than for transaction processing. An appropriate design leads to scalable, balanced and flexible architecture that is capable to meet both present and long-term future needs. This session covers a comparison of the main data warehouse architectures together with best practices for the logical and physical design that support staging, load and querying.

Building an Effective Data Warehouse ArchitectureJames Serra
Why use a data warehouse? What is the best methodology to use when creating a data warehouse? Should I use a normalized or dimensional approach? What is the difference between the Kimball and Inmon methodologies? Does the new Tabular model in SQL Server 2012 change things? What is the difference between a data warehouse and a data mart? Is there hardware that is optimized for a data warehouse? What if I have a ton of data? During this session James will help you to answer these questions.
Traditional BI vs. Business Data Lake – A ComparisonCapgemini
Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) systems provide various levels and kinds of analyses on structured data but they are not designed to handle unstructured data.
For these systems Big Data brings big problems because the data that flows in may be either structured or unstructured. That makes them hugely limited when it comes to delivering Big Data benefits.
The way forward is a complete rethink of the way we use BI - in terms of how the data is ingested, stored and analyzed.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.

2. Why Multidimensional Databases.
Comparison between Relational &
Multidimensional Databases.
Multidimensional Database design & Architecture.
Dimensional Modeling.
Conclusion.
◦ Where to use multidimensional database.
3. A multidimensional database (MDB) is a type of
database that is optimized for data warehouse
and online analytical processing (OLAP)
applications.
Multidimensional data-base technology is a key
factor in the interactive analysis of large amounts
of data for decision-making purposes.
4. Multi-dimensional databases are especially useful
in sales and marketing applications that involve
time series. Large volumes of sales and inventory
data can be stored to ultimately be used for
logistics and executive planning.
5. Why Multidimensional Database
◦ Enables interactive analyses of large amounts of data for
decision-making purposes.
◦ Differ from previous technologies by viewing data as
multidimensional cubes, which have proven to be
particularly well suited for data analyses.
◦ Rapidly process the data in the database so that
answers can be generated quickly.
◦ A successful OLAP application provides "just-in-time"
information for effective decision-making.
6. Comparison Between Relational &
Multidimensional Database
◦ Relational Database
The relational database model uses a two-dimensional
structure of rows and columns to store data. Tables can be
linked by common key values.
Accessing data from relational databases may require
complex joins of many tables and is distinctly non-trivial for
untrained end-users.
7. Comparison Between Relational &
Multidimensional Database
◦ Relational Database
• To get the desired information from the data, organizations forced to
hire IT professionals to structure such complex queries and also
these complex queries takes huge time to return the results.
• When writing queries such as INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE on
tables, the consequences of getting it wrong are greatly increased
when they are employed on a live system environment.
8. Comparison Between Relational &
Multidimensional Database
◦ Multidimensional Database
Enhance data presentation and navigation by intuitive
spreadsheet like views that are difficult to generate in
relation database.
Easy to maintain because data is stored in the same way as
it is viewed, so no additional computational overhead is
required.
9. Comparison Between Relational &
Multidimensional Database
◦ Multidimensional Database
• Data analysis and decision making is much easier through
multidimensional database as compare relational databases.
10. Cubes
◦ Data cubes provide true multidimensionality. They
generalize spreadsheets to any number of dimensions.
◦ Although the term “cube” implies 3 dimensions, a cube
can have any number of dimensions.
◦ A collection of related cubes is commonly referred to as
a multidimensional database.
11. Dimensions and Members
◦ Dimension provides the means to slice and dice the data.
It provides filtering and grouping of the data.
◦ Members are the individual components of a dimension.
For example, Product A, Product B, and Product C might
be members of the Product dimension. Each member
has a unique name.
12. Sparse & Dense Dimensions
◦ A sparse dimension is a dimension with a low
percentage of available data positions filled.
◦ A dense dimension is a dimension with a high probability
that one or more data points is occupied in every
combination of dimensions.
13. Data Storage
◦ Each data value is stored in a single cell in the database,
in the form of multidimensional array.
Data Value
◦ The intersection of one member from one dimension with
one member from each of the other dimensions
represents a data value.
14.
15. Multidimensional Expression
◦ Multi-dimensional Expressions (MDX) is the most widely
supported query language to date for reporting from
multi-dimensional data stores.
◦ With MDX / mdXML, a robust set of functions makes
accessing multi-dimensional data easier and more
intuitive.
◦ MDX / mdXML does not have the data definition
capabilities (DDL) that SQL has.
16. Dimensional Modeling is a logical design
technique that present the data in a standard,
intuitive framework that allows for high-
performance access.
In DM, a model of tables and relations is
constituted with the purpose of optimizing decision
support query performance in relational
databases.
17. Fact Table
◦ Fact table consists of the measurements and facts of the
business process.
◦ A fact table typically has two types of columns: those that
contains facts(numerical values) and those that are
foreign key to dimension tables.
18. Dimension Table
◦ The dimension table provides the detailed information
about the attributes in the fact table.
◦ Fact tables connect to one or more dimension tables, but
fact tables do not have direct relationships to one
another.
19. Star Scheme
◦ In the star schema design, a single object (the fact table)
sits in the middle and is connected to other surrounding
objects (dimension tables) like a star.
◦ A star schema has one dimension table for each
dimension.
21. Snowflake Scheme
◦ Snowflake schemas contain several dimension tables
for each dimension.
◦ The main advantage of the snowflake schema is that it
reduces the space required to hold the data and the
number of places where it need to be updated if the data
changes.
◦ The main disadvantage of the snowflake schema is that
it increase the number of tables that need to join in order
to perform the given query.
23. Performance
◦ Multidimensional Database server typically contain
indexes that provide direct access to the data, making
MDD servers quicker when trying to solve a
multidimensional business problem.
◦ MDDs deliver impressive query performance by pre-
calculating or pre-consolidating transactional data rather
than calculating on-the-fly.
24. Data Volume & Scalability
◦ To fully pre-consolidate incoming data, MDDs require an
enormous amount of overhead both in processing time
and in storage. An input file of 200MB can easily expand
to 5GB; obviously, a file of this size takes many minutes
to load and consolidate.
◦ Some data is stored redundantly in the database .
◦ It is not suited for transaction processing as it takes time
to store the calculated result in the database.
