Creativity is the mental ability to create new ideas and designs. Innovation, on the other hand, Means developing useful solutions from new ideas. Creativity can be goal-oriented, Whereas innovation is always goal-oriented. This bedeutet, dass innovation aims to achieve defined goals. The use of cloud services and technologies promises enterprise users many benefits in terms of more flexible use of IT resources and faster access to innovative solutions. That’s why we want to examine the question in this talk, of what role cloud computing plays for innovation in companies.
Cloud Computing: What it Means/Does/Costs and Why You Should CareDW Nelson
At the 2008 DETC conference, David Nelson told us "Computers, as we know them, will disappear". By now, everyone has read the headlines and heard the exhortations about how Cloud Computing (running our applications and storing our data on the web) will transform our lives.
But just what are these applications that will lead us into this exciting new paradigm? This session will spotlight a number of the hottest web-based applications, including a description and example of "The Virtual Office, for Virtually Nothing". Come learn how to separate fact from fiction, and determine for yourself if the promise of cloud computing is finally coming true!
Cloud Business Intelligence (BI) applications are hosted on a virtual network, such as the internet. They are used to provide organizations access to BI-related data such as dashboards, KPIs and other business analytics. Enterprises are increasingly turning to cloud-based tools, like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications (Salesforce), online file collaboration and storage (Dropbox, Box) and help desk software (UserVoice, Zendesk). This trend includes business intelligence tools embracing the agility and accessibility of the Cloud.
LinuxCon North America 2013: Why Lease When You Can Buy Your CloudMark Hinkle
Perhaps one of the perplexing things about cloud computing is the choice around renting time in someone else’s cloud (Amazon, Google, Rackspace or a myriad of others) or building your own. It’s not unlike the age-old car buyer’s dilemma, take the lower payments and lower total miles lease or buy the car and drive it for the long haul. Cloud computing users are often faced with the same conundrum. This presentation will focus on how to buy and build a cloud that can be fulfill the needs of most users including strategies for making use of the open source private cloud or managing workloads in both the private and public cloud using open source software.

Introduction and advantages on outside the box thinking. Then two examples:
Case 1: Customer moved mail to 365 while their Electronic Medical Record system (EMR) has only support for Notes/Domino and no support yet for Outlook/365.
Solution: Provide Notes agenda in Outlook trough iCal feed.
Case 2: A Notes/Domino application collects data from production systems. Customer wants to have a subset of this data available in SharePoint.
Solution: Don’t rebuild everything, but simply sync/upload the required data to a SharePoint list.
#JaxLondon keynote: Developing applications with a microservice architectureChris Richardson
The micro-service architecture, which structures an application as a set of small, narrowly focused, independently deployable services, is becoming an increasingly popular way to build applications. This approach avoids many of the problems of a monolithic architecture. It simplifies deployment and let’s you create highly scalable and available applications. In this keynote we describe the micro-service architecture and how to use it to build complex applications. You will learn how techniques such as Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing address the key challenges of developing applications with this architecture. We will also cover some of the various frameworks such as Spring Boot that you can use to implement micro-services.

YOW London - Considering Migrating a Monolith to Microservices? A Dark Energy...Chris Richardson
This is a talk I gave at YOW! London 2022.
Let's imagine that you are responsible for an aging monolithic application that's critical to your business. Sadly, getting changes into production is a painful ordeal that regularly causes outages. And to make matters worse, the application's technology stack is growing increasingly obsolete. Neither the business nor the developers are happy. You need to modernize your application and have read about the benefits of microservices. But is the microservice architecture a good choice for your application?
In this presentation, I describe the dark energy and dark matter forces (a.k.a. concerns) that you must consider when deciding between the monolithic and microservice architectural styles. You will learn about how well each architectural style resolves each of these forces. I describe how to evaluate the relative importance of each of these forces to your application. You will learn how to use the results of this evaluation to decide whether to migrate to the microservice architecture.
“The standard B2B operating model was designed to optimize vendor’s “push” of prepackaged products to customers via large, up-front deals. The goal was usually to get the maximum amount of product assets transferred from the vendor’s balance sheet to the customer’s balance sheet in one big order. But today the assumption that a customer can determine in advance exactly what it needs and then take on all the responsibility for the level of value that it gets from a complex business product is becoming less acceptable. Customers need their suppliers to step up and get into the outcome game. The old B2B model doesn’t make Sense in digitalization. “
[J.B. Wood]
The statement above forecasts that the whole operating model of companies like Ericsson, from marketing to product development, sales and customer support will change. Also many other industry reports argue that a combination Digital Distribution, Digital Products and Cloud Practices will have disruptive impacts on how we do business in the near future.
In this session, we will have an outside-in approach to Cloud technology and “cloud first” approaches for our future business success. We’ll focus on non-technical stakeholders.

Connected Architecture Fabric Creating a Connected WorldChris Haddad
In-memory contextual processing, API Clouds, and Industrial Things are driving digital transformation and connecting the world.
In this session, Chris will describe how leading IT teams incorporate new reference architecture components and practices that enhance connections across people, devices, and partners.
In this session, you will learn:
Why new business and customer expectations demand a connected business
What new connected architecture fabric components create strategic business opportunity
How leading IT teams incorporate new components and practices
Over the past few years, businesses have had to step up in their use of technology and the hybrid cloud has become the benchmark of evolution. There are many are still unclear on what the benefits of hybrid cloud are. Every other company is looking to upgrade their systems and embrace the hybrid cloud with a majority registering transitional challenges as the reason they are yet to undertake this transformation. While seeking to understand why, we highlight clear winners in hybrid cloud; you may find it convincing enough to switch to an otherwise mysterious phenomenon. The hybrid cloud does not have a shortage when it comes to lucrative features especially for the business world. We look into some of these features below that are part of the reason why the hybrid cloud is so appealing to all business types.
It has always been a challenge to explain and convince top management including the Chief Financial Officers to embark into Cloud Computing. Predominantly because many still unclear or not so very sure what is cloud computing. Is it managed hosting, co-location or managed services? While technology providers and vendors continue to confuse management technology jargon, the need to embark into cloud computing seems inevitable...just like any others before such as the need to have emails, websites, online transactions, web based applications etc.
This presentation provides layman's, easy to understand meaning of cloud computing, why is it important for management,especially the CFO to seriously consider embarking into and some statistics and trend of how the world will move toward cloud.

"With most machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) frameworks, it can take hours to move data for ETL, and hours to train models. It's also hard to scale, with data sets increasingly being larger than the capacity of any single server. The amount of the data also makes it hard to incrementally test and retrain models in near real-time.
Learn how Apache Ignite and GridGain help to address limitations like ETL costs, scaling issues and Time-To-Market for the new models and help achieve near-real-time, continuous learning.
Yuriy Babak, the head of ML/DL framework development at GridGain and Apache Ignite committer, will explain how ML/DL work with Apache Ignite, and how to get started.
Topics include:
— Overview of distributed ML/DL including architecture, implementation, usage patterns, pros and cons
— Overview of Apache Ignite ML/DL, including built-in ML/DL algorithms, and how to implement your own
— Model inference with Apache Ignite, including how to train models with other libraries, like Apache Spark, and deploy them in Ignite

"Machine learning algorithms require significant amounts of training data which has been centralized on one machine or in a datacenter so far. For numerous applications, such need of collecting data can be extremely privacy-invasive. Recent advancements in AI research approach this issue by a new paradigm of training AI models, i.e., Federated Learning.
In federated learning, edge devices (phones, computers, cars etc.) collaboratively learn a shared AI model while keeping all the training data on device, decoupling the ability to do machine learning from the need to store the data in the cloud. From personal data perspective, this paradigm enables a way of training a model on the device without directly inspecting users’ data on a server. This talk will pinpoint several examples of AI applications benefiting from federated learning and the likely future of privacy-aware systems."

"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.

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.

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.

10. SUPERCOMPUTER ON AWS
We didn’t ask Amazon to give our engineers any special dispensation,
discount, or custom planning or setup.
We wanted to see if we could do this on our own …
We were granted access to a group of nodes in the AWS US-East 1 region
for approximately $5,000 charged to the company credit card.
