z/OS V2.4 Preview: z/OS Container Extensions - Running Linux on Z docker cont...zOSCommserver
What if you could build a hybrid workload consisting of native z/OS software and Linux on Z software, both running in the same z/OS image? During this education session we will discuss an exciting new feature of z/OS V2R4, z/OS Container Extensions, which brings the ability to deploy Linux on Z software packaged as Docker images directly inside a z/OS system using standard Docker container interfaces. It significantly expands what you do with your z/OS systems by allowing you to deploy Linux on Z software side by side with your z/OS software and middleware while preserving a z/OS operational model and z/OS Qualities of Service.
Choosing the right development platform may not be as obvious as it seems.
Low code application platforms accelerate app delivery by dramatically reducing the amount of hand coding required. Faster delivery is the primary benefit of these application platforms; they also help firms respond more quickly to customer feedback after initial software releases.
While to benefits are clear - this does not mean they are always the best choice for your business. Equally, it should not always be an either/or choice between one platform or another.
These slides describe some of the things to consider when choosing a development platform. Please get in touch if you would like an unbiased discussion on how to choose the best platform for your needs.

Mainframes and Cobol Migration - Tools based - Arkin Softwarearkinsoftware
Arkin Software offers complete migration solution to retire Mainfarmes and Cobol based Applications. It is a migration framework- comprising of a set of automated tools; migration methodology; and experienced consultants that facilitate factory-like precision.
There are three Converter tools.
(a) GUI converter converts legacy GUI into web-structure, RIA technologies or thin-client GUI, with similar look & feel.
(b) Code converter converts business logic of the legacy code into equivalent java.
(c) DAO converter converts Data calls into a chosen persistent framework like SPRING JDBC or JDBC.
Besides these, there are two extremely important tools.
(d) Analyzer: It is this tool that helps us even if there is limited or non-existent documentation and application knowledge. This tool dives through legacy code, builds metrics and relationships to help our team to size and understand the legacy complexity and accurately estimate the migration effort.
(e) Traceability Generator. It maps legacy code to converted java code in a spreadsheet format. This traceability matrix serves two purposes: One is to ensure that no legacy code is missed out during conversion; and the other is to facilitate client’s internal teams to catch up with migrated Java code.
Arkin Software’s unique approach to migration is architecture-centric. That means, we start with the target architecture and migrate the legacy to that target. Never one-to-one migration. Because, migrated applications must live in production for another 20-25 years, which is possible only if they are built on right architecture. Nobody likes applications that may look like Java, but stink like legacy.

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.

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.
"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.
