ClearCase Version Importer - a migration tool to Rational Team Concert SCMIBM Rational software
A new, simpler tool for importing ClearCase version history into Rational Team Concert (RTC) was introduced in RTC 4.0.5. This is a new stand-alone tool that does not require ClearCase synchronization to be set up to use it. This presentation will first provide an overview of the difference between ClearCase and RTC SCM, then talk about the new migration tool and its enhanced capability in upcoming RTC release. You will understand how the tool can help you migrating the data successfully and it concludes with a live demo of the migration tool. Watch the presentation on YouTube: http://ow.ly/uvBSX

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

7. IBM Rational Lab Services Client Stories | Assisted Deployment
Client
Win
Insurance Client uses Assisted Deployment Services Offering to
springboard their CLM migration
Need
Migrated user base from Star (Source Control) & Claim (Requirements) to RTC
& RRC in a six month time frame so client could avoid additional cost.
Solution
Collaborative Lifecycle Management Deployment
Implementation
Rational consultants and Support reviewed, advised and collaborated with the
client's resources and implementation team. The combined teams (IBM &the
client) reviewed the Rational Services best practices and approach for
deployment, providing guidance to the client team on key areas of focus for
success. This included a set of recommendations and technical architecture
guidance.
Value
As a result of the Assisted Deployment Services Offering, the client has begun
production use of the CLM solution resulting in 600 license activations. There
has not been a single critical situation opened, PMR volume is well below
average, and the client has purchased $70K in Rational Professional Services.
The Client’s CIO has credited Rational Services and support work and the
software solution for a $5 million reduction in operational expenses.
8. IBM Rational Lab Services Client Stories | Assisted Deployment
Client
Win
Insurance Client uses Assisted Deployment Services Offering to extend
their RTC Implementation
Need
Improve RTC product stability and performance while implementing enterprise
architecture for scalability and growth.
Solution
Add 1300 additional users to RTC while including additional use cases and
managing performance when loading large plans. Implement RTC architecture
for cross-portfolio use.
Implementation
Rational Services and Support worked together over a six-month period to
review, advise and collaborate with the client's resources and implementation
team. The IBM team reviewed best practices and provided recommended
deployment guidance for the client team. The recommendations, test
scenarios, architecture and adoption strategy helped the client team focus on
the key areas to ensure success.
Value
As a result of the work, the client is stable and on boarding new users in
production, and plan load performance has improved 25 to 50%. The client
purchased a $2M+ deal with IBM where this work on RTC was directly called
out as a determining factor. Two additional service engagements have been
signed. No critical situations opened, and PMR volume is well below average.
