Superweek 2022 - Solid & Digital Analytics TrackingJente De Ridder
Our industry is changing rapidly: tracking standards are under pressure, consumers are more privacy conscious and legislators are trying to regain control of big tech.
Solid offers an answer to all these challenges. It is a framework initiated by Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the world wide web. And it is clear that this will be a game changer for how personal data will be handled in the future.
The question is how we as an industry will prepare ourselves for this and how we all can contribute to the adoption of this new standard?
Big Data: Real-life examples of Business Value Generation with ClouderaCapgemini
Capgemini has helped multiple organizations to put Big Data to work and create value for their business and their clients.
This prsentation looks at real-world cases of how organizations are using, or planning to use, big data technology. It will look at the different ways in which the technology is being used in a business context.
Examples are drawn from Retail, Telco, Financial Services, Public Sector and Consumer goods.
It will look at a range of business scenarios from simple cost reduction through to new business models looking at how the business case has been built and what value has been realized.
It will also look at some of the practical challenges and approaches taken and specifically the application of Enterprise Data Hubs in collaboration with its prime partner Cloudera.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25 May 2018. GDPR is a hugely important piece of legislation designed to replace antiquated data protection rules with a new framework which accounts for recent technological advancements.
Fundamentally, GDPR is about protecting people: in this digital age, our world is awash with data and individuals are generating a continuous flow of personal information. This data can hold huge socio-economic value, from individual preference and personalisation, to understanding national health trends and global business insights. But while the digital age has brought forth huge possibilities and benefits, it also carries inherent dangers.
Some of the most powerful companies in the world have established a business model predicated on the basis of data capture. Increasingly, services like email, search and social media have become available free of charge, but this often involves a trade-off where user access comes at the cost of relinquishing control of data. As the value of this information has become clear, there has been growing recognition that a new framework is needed to police this delicate balance and restore ownership and control.
GDPR will significantly raise the bar of obligation and accountability, ensuring that all organisations which handle personal data adhere to strict regulations around privacy, security and consent. This conference will contextualise the changing regulatory landscape, explain the significance of incoming rules, and define the key areas that organisations need to be aware of.
Core conference topics include:
Key legal issues and obligations
Privacy Impact Assessments
Data security and breach notification
Privacy by design
DPO requirements
Practical strategy implementation
Exploring the Heated-and Completely Unnecessary- Data Lake DebateHortonworks
When it comes to the data lakes and data warehouses, there’s no shortage of controversy: Is one better than the other? The real answer is, there’s no need for heated debate—a data lake actually complements the data warehouse.
Integrating a data lake with your EDW is really just an evolution of architecture that can provide you with a cross-environment that allows you to explore data creatively to yield great business insights. However, there’s a trick to making it work: EDW optimization.

Operationalizing the Buzz: Big Data 2013VMware Tanzu
The 2013 EMA/9sight Big Data research makes a clear case for the maturation of Big Data as a critical approach for innovative companies. This year’s survey went beyond simple questions of strategy, adoption and use to explore why and how companies are utilizing Big Data. This year’s findings show an increased level of Big Data sophistication between 2012 and 2013 respondents. An improved understanding of the “domains of data” drives this increased sophistication and maturity. Highly developed use of
Process-mediated, Machine-generated and Human-sourced information is prevalent throughout this year’s study.

Defining antifragility and the application on organisation design @ DADD 2011...Edzo Botjes
The .com crisis of 2000, the financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 crisis of 2020 show us the importance for organisations to become resilient or even antifragile to survive (unexpected) external stressors. Research states that the current VUCA world will expose enterprises to more and more stressors. Resilience is the way a system bounces back from impact by a stressor. Antifragile is the way a system improves from impact by a stressor. In his master thesis Edzo combines (1) literature research on resilience with (2) the antifragile attributes found in the literature and (3) variety engineering into one model, an Extended Antifragile Attribute List (EAAL). Enabling the leadership of an organisation to determine if the organisation should aim to be antifragile or to be a specific type of resilient. The presentation consists of the EAAL model, theory and practical application via an interactive discussion on how to recognize the context and how to adjust your behaviour as an architect.
Is a secure cloud possible or an neverending rat-race? We know the debate around “The Cloud Is Just Someone Else's Computer.” The cloud is an technology ecosystem that provided us so much more options than time-share mainframe, multi-user unix systems or patterns as CORBA and RPC could provide us. I'll introduce you into the concept of Variety known from Requisite Variety. One of the key attributes of an antifragile IT systems. This concept will help you in design decision on the risk mitigation in the cloud.

Paper abstract —Organizations operate in a socio-economic context,
and alignment with this context is key for business success. The
rate of change and impact of these changes on the operating
model of the organization appears to be increasing. Major trends
are the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008, the “VUCA”
aspects (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity), and the
Covid-pandemic. The challenge for organizations is to become
resilient or even antifragile to survive (unexpected) external
stressors.
Antifragility refers to a class of systems that do not deteriorate
(fragile) or withstand (robust) stressors, but actually improve as
a result of stressors. Our objective is to find attributes that are
relevant for an organization to be(come) antifragile. The list of
attributes found is based on an extensive survey of available
literature, and is validated with domain experts and leaders of
various organizations. We dub the list of attributes found the
Extended Antifragile Attribute List (EAAL).
Considering the current economic and social impact on organi-
zations and people of the Covid-pandemic, the EAAL is relevant
as well timely. The EAAL turns out to be extensive and holistic.
We consider the EAAL to be a stepping stone in setting the scene
of the domain of antifragility.
We suspect that the EAAL might also be applied to generic
system design including technology infrastructure and software
systems. This exploration is part of future research
Workshop on Presentation skills
AIHACKCOVID
There have been millions of deaths and recoveries worldwide from COVID-19. If we work together and learn from worldwide data on the pandemic, we can prevent or better manage future pandemics.
This June, we are empowering the Artificial Intelligence and Medical community of Northern NL to hack the COVID-19 crisis together and to advise Dutch policy makers.
Using machine learning techniques, you are are invited to explore a worldwide data set of COVID-19 hospitalizations, policy decisions, and more to find patterns that can hack our crisis.
It's good to know what resilience is. It's better to know what your organisation can get out of it!
In this webinar, I will discuss how to utilize and “hack” resilience to enforce luck onto ourselves.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.

Jump or not to Jump ?
Big Data is concerned with exceptionally large, often widespread bundles of
semi structured or unstructured data. In addition, they are often incomplete
and not readily accessible.
“Exceptionally large” means the following, measured against the
extreme boundaries of current standard it and relational databases:
petabytes of data or more, millions of people or more, billions of records or
more, and a complex combination of all these.
With fewer data and greater complexity, you will encounter a serious Big
Data challenge, certainly if your tools, knowledge and expertise are not fully
up to date. Moreover, if this is the case, you are not prepared for future data
developments. Semi-structured or unstructured means that the connections
between data elements are not clear, and probabilities will have to be
determined.
