Industry 4.0 is the name of the next industrial revolution which is fueled by the advancement of digital technologies. It
is dramatically changing how companies engage in business activities. As a result, the disruptive nature of Industry 4.0
demands a reassessment of the requirements for IT. On the one hand, there is the possibility that the responsibilities of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) could be taken over by other executives such as the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). On the other hand, this
recent development creates entirely new perspectives for positioning themselves and their IT departments
within the business.
The impact of digital technologies is reaching a magnitude at which IT is considered a substantial
business driver, potentially placing CIOs in the driver’s seat.

Big Data LDN 2018: DATA MANAGEMENT AUTOMATION AND THE INFORMATION SUPPLY CHAI...Matt Stubbs
Date: 14th November 2018
Location: Governance and MDM Theatre
Time: 10:30 - 11:00
Speaker: Mike Ferguson
Organisation: IBS
About: For most organisations today, data complexity has increased rapidly. In the area of operations, we now have cloud and on-premises OLTP systems with customers, partners and suppliers accessing these applications via APIs and mobile apps. In the area of analytics, we now have data warehouse, data marts, big data Hadoop systems, NoSQL databases, streaming data platforms, cloud storage, cloud data warehouses, and IoT-generated data being created at the edge. Also, the number of data sources is exploding as companies ingest more and more external data such as weather and open government data. Silos have also appeared everywhere as business users are buying in self-service data preparation tools without consideration for how these tools integrate with what IT is using to integrate data. Yet new regulations are demanding that we do a better job of governing data, and business executives are demanding more agility to remain competitive in a digital economy. So how can companies remain agile, reduce cost and reduce the time-to-value when data complexity is on the up?
In this session, Mike will discuss how companies can create an information supply chain to manufacture business-ready data and analytics to reduce time to value and improve agility while also getting data under control.

George Schindler CGI Value Creation CGI Ratkaisu19CGI Suomi
George D. Schindler, President and CEO of CGI Group Inc., gave a presentation on digitization and value creation on January 24, 2019 in Finlandia-talo. He discussed how digitization is redefining value creation by extending it to customers, business partners, and employees. There is an opportunity to more tightly align IT and business functions, which can create more value.

Virtualization and hypervisor solutions for mixed-criticality systems based o...Babak Sorkhpour
This document discusses virtualization techniques for mixed-criticality systems using heterogeneous multicore processors. It begins with an introduction that outlines problems with complex embedded systems like certification and dependability. It then describes solutions like partitioning kernels and hypervisors that provide virtual execution environments and isolation. Examples of virtualization techniques are given, like the XtratuM hypervisor, that provide temporal and spatial isolation between partitions. Use cases like avionics and automotive systems are discussed where virtualization can help integrate applications with different criticality levels.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Formerly, most companies who have rolled out LANs have observed that approximately 80% of the traffic is local to the LAN, and only 20% or less goes to the WAN. Middleware based applications are contributing to changing that. Middleware enables applications to access servers wherever they may be located.
Power Users are usually defined as those that require significant computing power or network bandwidth (3D models, structural analysis, etc..) Now especially with the advent of video conferencing, executives are using more of the bandwidth than ever before where, in the past, they didn’t use much at all.
Videoconference traffic is moslty wide area network traffic. Reduces the 80/20 rule further.
The issue is no longer where the service is located but whether it is needed and available. It is unpredictable since servers can be moved at a moment’s notice. Has to be done totally transparently to the users. Any one, anywhere, Any Function (within security and access policies) – But to the customer, it still looks like a single, co-located company.
