Software Factories in the Real World: How an IBM® WebSphere® Integration Fact...Prolifics
“Getting any software development team to effectively scale to meet the needs of a large integration project is actually harder than it sounds. For a large Automotive Retailer based in Florida, this is exactly what they needed to do. They needed a large amount of integration to be built between their brand new Point of Sales system and their new SAP back-end. In this session, you will hear about how tools such as Rational Software Architect and WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit were integrated with a Rational Team Concert-based development environment to set up super efficient software factory employing techniques such as Model-Driven Development and Continuous Integration to help this retailer keep their customers’ wheels on the road.”
ServiceMesh's Dave Roberts presented, originally at Cloud Connect 2012, Santa Clara CA
Applications are the heart of enterprise IT. Everything that IT does is focused on delivering new functionality through applications. Unfortunately, for most enterprises, the application delivery process is tremendously inefficient, leading outcomes where more application development projects are canceled than are completed.

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!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

Key scenario elements
1. Create Release Plan - An analyst defines requirements in a requirements definition tool. He links his requirement to a Plan Item in a
Change Management tool. He can traverse the link and prioritize the release plan.
2. Align Plans - This scenario involves aligning what (requirement) with 'when' (plan). It includes the alignment of requirements with
development and test efforts.
3. Find and Fix a Test failure - A tester executes a test and discovers a defect. The defect is created in the change management system with
bi-directional links back to the test execution. The development team triages and fixes the defect. The tester monitors the status of the
defect using his dashboard. When he sees the defect is fixed and the build is ‘green’ he deploys the build then verifies and closes the
defect.

XML Representation Summary: ChangeRequest? Element
<ChangeRequest
href = xsd:anyURI >
Content: (dc:title, dc:identifier, dc:type?, dc:description?, dc:subject?, dc:creator?)
</ChangeRequest>
Property Representation
{dc:title} The required title string. Note that this element comes from the DC namespace,
allowing tools unaware of the change management domain to access this element.
This is sometimes also referred to as the headline or summary of the request.
{dc:identifier} The required, read-only identifier string. This is assigned by a change management
system when a request resource has been created.
{dc:type} The optional type string. The type of request that is represented, such as: defect,
enhancement, etc.
{dc:description} The required description string. This element comes from the DC namespace,
allowing tools completely unaware of the change management domain to access this
element.

OSLC Estimation and Metrics 1.0 Specification
Key scenario elements
1. Calibrating - Analyse past projects to define estimation model parameters that reflect the actual capabilities of a development organization.
2. Initiating - Develop the initial project parameters of scope, cost, schedule, and quality. Ideally base the estimate on similar completed
projects.
3. Monitoring and Controlling - Capture metrics and compare them with control limits. Take corrective action when an unacceptable variance
occurs
4. Re-Estimating - Periodically, e.g. at the end of each iteration, re-estimate the project based on the actuals.
5. Closing - Capture the final project metrics and record them for use by future projects.
Scope of resource descriptions and services (Metrics 1.0)
Software metrics definitions, Software metrics, Software estimates
