Configuring SharePoint 2013 for BI scenariosSPC Adriatics
Configuring SharePoint 2013 for BI is not just clicking next in the configuration wizard but it needs some special attention with configuring service applications and of course we cannot forget about configuring Kerberos delegation.
We take a look at configuring PerformancePoint, PowerPivot, Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode and everything you need to know to successfully configure BI services.
The Power of BI: A guided tour of Microsoft's Business Intelligence toolingJason Himmelstein
Having trouble keeping up with all of the changes in the BI space around SharePoint & Office 365? Feel like every time you think you understand what is going on Microsoft pivots (pun intended) yet again? You are not alone.
Now is the time to change all of that. Microsoft is investing heavily in how to make BI more efficient, repeatable, and with outputs that will make executives squeal with delight. From Excel to Power BI, the tooling is evolving so quickly that it takes real effort to keep up.

Two of the tech industry’s essential front runners providing business intelligence solutions are Microsoft’s Power BI and Tableau. These leaders of data visualization help businesses narrow down and analyze their data with powerful built-in tools and clear visualizations. Each platform has distinctive strengths and weaknesses that should be considered before deciding on a business intelligence software.

Starting in May 2010, with SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft began talking more and more about "Personal BI". The focus of this discussion was a paradigm shift moving business intelligence from being something a few BI professionals do with a data warehouse to a practice done by Information Workers every day in familiar tools like Microsoft Excel and SharePoint. Over the course of this session we will show you the improvements that Microsoft has made in the 2013 stack to take this new focus from being a “nice idea” to a truly powerful reality. We will explore the improvements made to Excel, PowerPivot & Power View, & Reporting Services. We will explain the underlying technology that makes the new features possible and walk through demos of some of the shinier toys. At the end of the session you will walk away with a better understanding of what is new in 2013 for business intelligence and an extreme desire to build reusable data model that will undoubtedly bring real value to your business.

Software is eating the world and embedded analytics has grown in popularity over the last few years as a way to get simple, over-the-counter and distraction-free insights in front of software users. Before you start on your embedding journey it’s important to get the basics right to ensure you have the foundation for a successful delivery of over-the-counter data to your users.
When it comes to embedded analytics, it’s easy to see the advantages of providing more intuitive insights (the “why”), but much harder to plan the “how.” This webinar will provide you with the best practices and essentials needed to deliver reporting and dashboards to your users with our award-winning JavaScript API, TIBCO Jaspersoft® Visualize.js™.
Topics Covered:
Jaspersoft® Visualize.js basics – instantiation, authentication, rendering, parameters
Advantages over iFrames and REST APIs
Where to find examples and samples

SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Rich Client is a full-client reporting tool offered with Business Objects XI R3. This reporting tool is very similar to the Webi Java version that most end users are used to seeing in XI R2; however it offers a very important functionality of being able to work on reports offline without being connected to a CMS. It also provides equivalent report creation, editing, formatting, printing, and saving functionality that is found in Business Object’s original full-client reporting tool, Desktop Intelligence.
I am Murali.Below is a short summary on my professional experience,
Total years of experience - 13 (Releavant BO experience - 10 Years)
Technologies/Tools worked on : SAP BO 4.x - XI R2,BO Admin, Xcelsius Dashboard designing, Crystal Reports, SAP Design Studio, SAP BW 7,Unix,Oracle 10G PL/SQL, SQL Server and Microsoft Technologies(VB,ASP and VB.Net).
I am interested to take up new roles on different aspects in BO domain.

"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.
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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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.

No search/replace either.)
Very low resolution on graphs when exported (optimized for screen display only and
no easy way to optimize for printing)
