The document discusses the shift from traditional IT infrastructure to cloud computing. It notes that datacenter utilization is currently only 30% while cloud computing allows for standardized equipment and services at scale. This represents a huge paradigm shift in IT delivery. The cloud provides infrastructure services and software services that can be assembled into "application images". Services are delivered on-demand through a service-oriented architecture. Organizations must decide whether to adopt this new cloud-based, service-oriented model of IT or stick with traditional approaches.

Virtual Commissioning: Validation Through Virtualization
What is Virtual Commissioning?
• Definition: Virtual Commissioning (VC) is the use of a
virtual model that represents an accurate and realistic 3D
simulation of mechanical, electrical, and control systems
in order to validate the operation of a production system
prior to actual physical implementation.
• VC Tools Provide a Unified Platform for Mechanical Design,
Electrical Design, and Control Data in an Integrated Data
Model
• VC Platforms enable Component Reuse for Building
Automated Production Systems through Mechanical &
Electrical Models, and Controls Programming Templates
• VC Focuses on the Validation of Manufacturing Processes
rather than Product Design
• VC is Not Discrete Event Simulation, and is not focused on
Production Process Throughput
EMA research has found that 90% of network infrastructure and operations professionals believe AIOps-enabled network management can lead to better business outcomes.
Unfortunately, only 30% believe they have been fully successful with using AIOPs for network management so far.
How can you do better?
These slides—based on the webinar hosted by EMA and IBM--outline how AIOPs can help IT organizations transform network operations.

High-Level Synthesis Skill Development Needs - IEDECJack Erickson
Presentation at the March 2013 IEDEC conference in Santa Clara, CA. Outlines the need for hardware design to move up in abstraction to SystemC and high-level synthesis, and the main barrier left preventing this - a rare combination of skills. The best place to address this skill set gap is in university curricula.
DevOps began as a way to deliver availability and survive agile methodologies. Along the way to CI/CD, it has become an overwhelming set of tools cobbled together to deploy code. Simultaneously, applications moved to mobile and IoT devices and from simple application servers to front end, backend, cloud, and microservices. The monitor stage of DevOps has exceeded the human capability for comprehension.
We are missing things and that leads to outages. We need to augment ourselves with ML & automation.
During this session, I want you to think about your last war-room incident and consider whether you are reactive or proactive. By augmenting ourselves through AIOps, we move towards the nirvana of being preemptive.

Recommended for CIOs and Applications Managers
In this session we will discuss how next generation business applications enable the
creation of much needed hyper-personalized experiences for customers and employees.
Center Office is a new delivery model that is emerging in response to the need to deliver
end to end hyper-personalized solutions that improve on older enterprise (legacy)
applications. Center Office relies on technologies such as APIs, microservices and
Hyperautomation (next level of automation that meshes AI tools with RPA,, enabling
scaling for complex business processes).
How do we manage employees' experiences as well as preserve talent and create
collaborative workplaces for teams? which new skills are needed? what will the
workforce of the future look like? Which new tools are needed for HR (employee well-
being)?
Recommended for CDOs and all Data & Analytics Managers
The past 2 years have had a huge impact on organizations journeys to become data driven. Existing data architectures were disrupted; rigid structures and processes were questioned, and many data strategies were re-written.
On the one hand, the global pandemic emphasized the need for organizations to raise the bar, implement strategies, improve data literacy and culture, increase investments in data and analytics, and explore AI opportunities.
On the other, it also presented new challenges such as: the war for data talent and the wide literacy gap. Inadequate structures as well as outdated processes were exposed. Major changes in the data landscape (Data Fabric, Data Mesh, Transition to Data Clouds) will further disrupt existing data architectures and enhance the need for a new adaptive architecture and organization.
Recommended for CTOs, architects, IT Managers
COVID-19 has emphasized the fact that business agility and hence technology agility are the most if not the only factors for business success. However, technology agility in most IT departments is not the “strongest muscle”. Technology adoption of Cloud, Devops, Integration, Low-Code and Zero Trust are affecting all IT departments and even the entire organization. New
processes and relationships between the various branches of the IT department should emerge, forsaking old habits and technologies. New technologies and roles\responsibilities are taking their place.
Recommended for CXOs and all IT Managers
If COVID-19 has demonstrated anything it is that organizations can no longer rely on traditional long-term strategic direction-setting, in order to succeed and grow. Today, organizations need to be able to quickly identify changes and respond with speed.
Adaptive enterprises have the technical and organizational agility to do this. In this session, we will present the organizational structure, technologies and concepts that make up an adaptive organization and discuss topics such as: Concierge hyper-personalization services; Personalized (PBC) Business Capabilities; adaptive organizational structure; Centers of Excellence; center office; hyper-automation and data centric organizations.

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.
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.

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.
