Specific topics covered include endpoint requirements, bandwidth planning, StoreFront sizing, provisioning methods, database options, monitoring solutions, storage approaches, and expected IOPS and users per server.
HCLT Whitepaper: Multi- Tenancy on Private CloudHCL Technologies
http://www.hcltech.com/engineering-rd-services/overview~ More on Engineering and R&D
Advances in cloud computing technology and changes in business models create major paradigm shifts in the way software applications are designed, built, and delivered to end users. The concept of multi-tenancy is one of the key and direct derivatives of cloud computing. Multi-tenancy is an architectural model that optimizes resource sharing. The applications will be deployed and delivered from a shared environment while providing sufficient levels of isolation to the tenants and Quality of Service (QoS) throughout the environment. Like any other paradigm shift, a cloud-based delivery (SaaS) model also comes with a new set of technical challenges.
This paper provides a technical overview on how to convert an application traditionally hosted on-premise to a multi-tenant environment and deliver through an SaaS model. This paper also covers the challenges and benefits of moving this to a cloud infrastructure.
Excerpts from the Paper
The advent of cloud computing boosted a new business model for delivering software, which is generally termed SaaS (Software as a Service). ISVs started realizing the necessity of transforming their traditional on-premise products to the new ―cloud business model. Multi-tenancy is the fundamental design approach that essentially improves the acceptability of SaaS applications. The idea of multi-tenancy, or many tenants sharing resources, is fundamental to cloud computing. Isolation and service assurance are the key elements to be addressed. Isolation ensures that the resources of existing tenants remain untouched, and the integrity of the applications, workloads, and data remain uncompromised when the service provider provisions new tenants. Each tenant may have access to different amounts of network, computing, and storage resources in the shared virtual environment. Tenants see only those resources allocated to them.

World renowned virtualization aficionados Eric Inch and Jason Cooper combine their collective 30 years of experience to provide a side-by-side comparison of the heavy hitters in application virtualization.
On one side: Microsoft App-V, part of the Desktop Optimization Pack and the Johnny-come-lately, streaming application packages to desktops and servers with ease.
On the other: VMware ThinApp, the 800-pound gorilla with a huge install base, incredible features, and a clear advantage over the up-and-comer.

Presentation to EDUCAUSE, NERCOMP by David Blezzard from University of New Hampshire.
More here http://www.educause.edu/nercomp-annual-conference/2016/2016/streamlining-application-deployment-and-management-through-virtualization
We will report how using the Application Jukebox application virtualization solution at the University of New Hampshire has saved time and simplified management of public and department-specific computer labs and our VDI environment. Traditionally, we used a combination of imaging and then various scripted deployments to install applications. With application virtualization, we have been able to move over a hundred Windows applications into virtual packages that can be "installed" by users on demand. We will discuss the general problem of managing large numbers of complex applications across a range of computer environments while also trying to be flexible and responsive to users.
Outcomes: Understand how application virtualization can overcome issues with deploying software * Appreciate the capabilities of Application Jukebox to be able to assess its utility to your campus * Obtain a model for evaluating a tool's potential savings

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.
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.
