Cognitive Applications at IBM have come a long way from Watson's debut on the game show Jeopardy in 2011. As well as introducing the Cognitive topic, this session will look at examples (in particular manufacturing but also healthcare, buildings and retail) to discuss where Cognitive and AI is being used and how organisations are driving value from the technology.

This paper contends that the real understanding of natural language and the fulfillment of cloud computing cannot be reached without dealing with the significant sentimental factor. This paper points out that the achievement and enjoyment of cloud computing is highly reliant on break throughs in advanced intelligence. In this paper, advanced intelligence refers to the high level of interaction between natural intelligence and artificial intelligence.
We introduce intelligent computing language in the software so that machines can take decisions autonomously and in real time. By applying artificial intelligence to the cloud, we are hoping to develop a system through which computers can manage themselves. For example, computer scientists are looking to develop software that follows computers’ power consumption and regulates their operation according to the specific needs at any given time, thus reducing energy expenditure.
Implanting artificial intelligence into codes that will run in the cloud to improve efficiency is one of the strong research lines.

Monetizing the Internet of Things: Extracting Value from the Connectivity Opp...Capgemini
Cisco has estimated that the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to generate about $19 trillion of value over the coming years. The staggering potential size-of-the-prize has certainly caught the attention of the world’s business community. In a recent survey of senior business leaders around the globe, 96% said their companies would be using IoT in some way within the next 3 years. However, there is a catch – most organizations are yet to derive significant commercial value from IoT. Our research shows that 70% of organizations do not generate service revenues from their IoT solutions. We have looked at why organizations are falling short in monetizing the IoT, and have tried to capture some initial observations on monetization models in what is still a very fast-developing marketplace.

Modern software release cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Modern development languages and frameworks enable developers to produce new features faster than ever. With the trend of shorter sprints and a general move towards continuous delivery it is becoming more and more difficult to get everything ready to release without testing becoming a bottleneck.
Existing testing processes cannot keep up with the rapid release pace demanded by more and more companies. So what can we do about this? One approach is to turn your development team into testers, get them to think more like a tester thereby reducing the number of issues that get past the developers IDE. But does this work and how do you go about doing it?
In this session I will explain what we have done to help our developers become testers. I'll talk about the challenges we faced as well as the benefits that it brought for our projects. We'll also look at what impact this had on the developers and more crucially on the testers.

The Agile Manifesto captured the mindset of 17 software delivery thought leaders in how they wanted to deliver software. Since then the agile landscape has exploded with all sorts of different tools, techniques and practices.
In my experience the adoption of agile focuses heavily on implementing the processes, tools and techniques. But, true agility is achieved by the people within the organisation adopting the agile mindset.
This talk is all about the agile journey GoCompare has taken and, more importantly, contains an experience report of developing an agile mindset at all levels of the organisation.

Writing software has been compared to many other professions such as science, engineering, architecture, craft and art. However, while these analogies can be useful, nearly all of them assume that the goal is a finished product. One that might require the odd bit of maintenance and occasional bit of redecoration perhaps, but fundamentally, a more or less static, completed artefact.
Today's networked software ecosystems are complex, dynamic environments. Security updates, changing cloud APIs, new web technologies and mobile operating systems, all contribute to a ever-evolving context that developers have to contend with while creating apps and services. We need a fresh analogy to draw inspiration from.
In this session I propose that writing software should be treated more like gardening and look at the ways this analogy can help when thinking—and perhaps more importantly, talking—about the design, development and maintenance of today's systems.

The trials and tribulations of providing engineering infrastructure TechExeter
by Olly Stephens, ARM.
This talk is a reflection on the things I’ve learnt having spent the last 17 years (and counting) providing infrastructure to the engineering communities at ARM Ltd.
ARM engineering engages in a wide variety of engineering disciplines to produce, enable and support it’s products. This, in turn, creates varied demand on the internal infrastructure required to enable it. From large HPC clusters that have been used in pretty much the same way for 20+ years, through weird and wacky custom pieces of hardware, to the modern infrastructure required for efficient software development.
The talk will discuss some of the challenges of providing and evolving the internal infrastructure needed for ARM to function, and reflect on changes resulting from more recent enablers such as cloud computing and home working.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Editor's Notes
AlphaGo is a AI designed by London based DeepMind (Acquired by google in 2014) whose purpose was to beat the worlds best players of the worlds toughest strategy game: https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/27/googles-alphago-ai-is-retiring/
This year 2 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide. In the US, a recent study of breast cancer risk revealed that 1 in 8 women develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. (In India, 1 in 28.)
As the most diagnosed cancer for women, in the last 20 years the number of therapies available for breast cancer treatment has increased from four to more than 800.
But, it’s a challenge for oncologists to stay abreast of the latest research, therapies, and clinical trials.
And the issue is growing exponentially across healthcare; in fact, by 2017 health data will grow by 99%. To keep up with this information, it would take a physician 160 hours of reading per week, when the average physician spends only five.
So how can cognitive help?
Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand – home to 580 beds and more than 30 specialty centers— and a network that spans 16 countries and four continents— in total 1.1 million patients— needed a way to give their oncologists access to world leading expertise without taking them away from patients to read and digest the latest information.
So they chose IBM Watson for Oncology, trained by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Why IBM Watson? Why Cognitive?
Unlike doctors, IBM Watson is not bound by volume, memory, or format. Using the power of cognitive, Watson can understand, reason and learn. It can read millions of unstructured documents in seconds.
Since 2011 IBM has partnered with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to train IBM Watson in the field of Oncology. During more than 15,000 hours of training by MSK, Watson ingested more than 600,000 pieces of medical evidence, 2 million pages of text, 1.5 million patient records and 26,000 clinical cases.
In choosing IBM Watson for Oncology, Bumrungrad oncologists gained access to an expert cognitive advisor that helps them to make more informed, personalized treatment decisions for its cancer patients.
So, for the next female patient- wife, mother, daughter, aunt- that comes in with breast cancer, oncologists at Bumrungrad can use IBM Watson to analyze relevant portions of her electronic medical record, including her family history, notes from prior office visits, and test results, then summarize and highlights aspects of her individual record and notes that are potentially significant to her cancer based on the expertise of oncologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and using IBM Watson for oncology they are provided with confidence-ranked, evidence-based personalized treatment options for this woman, something that they previously did not have the manpower to accomplish as personalized and confidently.
What will you do with Watson?
Key Stats
1 in 5 individuals are misdiagnosed - an alarming statistic. But it’s not the fault of the physician.
It is estimated that the doubling time of medical knowledge in 1950 was 50 years; in 1980, 7 years; and in 2015, less than three years.
An epidemiologist, according to a government study, would have to read 167 hours of research each week to keep up with the latest information. That is not humanly possible. This issue is growing exponentially across health care with medical data now doubling every 3 years.
The average primary care doctor in the US has a caseload of 2,300 patients and spends 15 minutes per patient visit.
As a result of the collaboration between IBM and Memorial Sloan Kettering, Watson for Oncology draws upon clinical expertise and over 20 years of experience and 1.5M patient records.
Bumrungrad International Hospital is home to 580 beds and more than 30 specialty centers— and a network that spans 16 countries and four continents— in total 1.1 million patients.
Today, clients in 36 countries, across 17 industries are applying cognitive technologies.
84% in healthcare believe it will play a disruptive role in the industry—and 60% believe they lack the skilled resources and technical expertise to achieve it.
Healthcare data will grow 99%, and 88% of all healthcare data will be unstructured. It is coming from electronic medical records (EMRs), test results, medical images, and video, patient sensors such as wearables, bedside devices and implants. Medical image archives alone are increasing by 20–40% annually.
Cognitive systems are designed to keep pace, serving as a companion for professionals to enhance their performance.
