Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a programming model and runtime for building workflows in .NET applications. Microsoft BizTalk Server is a product for integrating disparate systems and automating business processes across applications. BizTalk Services provides a cloud-based integration service for building B2B and EAI solutions.
WF and BizTalk are complementary but serve different purposes. WF is for implementing workflows within an application while BizTalk is for orchestrating workflows across applications. BizTalk provides capabilities for integration, scalability, transactions, and administration that developers would have to build with WF. The document compares the features of WF, BizTalk Server, and BizTalk Services to determine when each technology should be used

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

2. Introduction
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a programming model, set of tools, and
runtime environment that allows one to write declarative workflows on the
Windows platform to represent the execution model of your programs. The WF
runtime is part of the .NET Framework, first appearing in .NET Framework
3.0, with improvements in .NET Framework 3.5.
Microsoft BizTalk Server (BTS) provides an efficient and effective way to
integrate systems and businesses through manageable business
processes, enabling them to automate and orchestrate interactions in a highly
flexible and highly automated manner. Microsoft BizTalk Server provides a
development and run-time environment for business process management (BPM)
and automation.
Windows Azure BizTalk Services (WABS). We have collaborated with multiple
partners and customers to build a simple, powerful and extensible cloud-based
integration service that provides Business-to-Business (B2B) and Enterprise
Application Integration (EAI) capabilities for delivering cloud and hybrid
integration solutions. The service runs on a secure, dedicated per tenant
environment that you can provision on demand, while it is being managed and

3. Fundamental Difference between WF and
BizTalk
WF and BizTalk are not competing technologies. Windows Workflow Foundation
and BizTalk are complementary technologies that serve different needs.
Windows Workflow Foundation
BizTalk Server
WF is a developer framework used to implement
workflow inside an application.
BizTalk is a product that can be used to implement
workflow across disparate applications.
WF is a framework that provides the building
blocks needed to build workflow-based
applications.
BizTalk is an integration server/service that
includes the ability to add business process
automation.
WF is a framework that provides developers with
the base components they need to build the
modules that will be used to automate processes.
BizTalk is a platform that provides developers with
the pieces they need to automate business
process.
WF does not have the inherent features or tools for
tracking, administration and so on that is available
with BizTalk.
BizTalk provides a lot of capabilities that are needed
for serious business process automation that WF
developers would have to write. EX BizTalk has
proven scalability, tracking, administration and
transformation capabilities that a WF dev would
need to write from scratch.

7. Use BizTalk Server when?
Solving an EAI problem that requires communication with diverse applications on
diverse platforms. Because of its focus on cross-platform integration, BizTalk
provides adapters for communicating with other software, tools for mapping
between message formats, and more. WF is focused solely on workflow, not
EAI, and so it doesn’t provide these things.
B2B services are required. WF doesn’t address this area, while BizTalk provides
tools for working with trading partners, accelerators for RosettaNet, SWIFT, and
other industry standards, and more.
BPM services such as BAM are needed. WF provides a basic tracking
infrastructure that can be used to create these services, but BizTalk Server
includes a much more complete set of tools in this area.
A complete management infrastructure and support for increased scalability
are necessary. As described earlier, BizTalk Server includes a full set of tools for
administering and scaling a production environment, something that’s not provided
by WF.
DPE
DPE
Partner Development Team
Technical Evangelism & Evangelism Team
8. Use WF when?
An application will itself host workflows. WF lets workflow be built into an
application, allowing the workflow to be deployed and managed as a native part of
the application. Because it’s focused on integrating diverse applications rather
than providing a general workflow framework, BizTalk Server always runs
orchestrations within the BizTalk Server process.
The business process being implemented requires human workflow. BizTalk
Server addresses system workflow, and so it lacks WF’s support for things such
as state machine workflows and dynamic update. A scenario that requires both
human workflow and more complex system integration services could be
addressed by using WF and BizTalk Server together, however.
The workflow will execute on a client system. BizTalk Server is a server-focused
product, and so it’s less well-suited to run on desktop machines.

B2BThe WABS B2B solution, which comprises of the BizTalk Services Portal and B2B pipelines, enables customers to add trading partners and configure B2B pipelines that can be deployed to WABS. The trading partners will then be able to send EDI messages using HTTP, AS2, and FTP transports. Once the message is received, it will be processed by the B2B pipeline deployed on the cloud and will be routed to the destination configured in the B2B pipeline. Few of the WABS EDI capabilities are:
