Sumit Goyal, IBM, Software Engineer
DevOps provides the ability to increase time to market to an new level. The question is no longer if we need to speed up our delivery. The challenge is to find the right „pace“ for your product. Not every organization and every product needs to run at the speed of Netflix and Spotify, even if we’d like it to be like this. We need to adjust the organization, processes and tools appropriatly and to identify the real bottlenecks in the delivery pipeline continuously. And by the way, we need to justify our investment in the DevOps mission. Are we just automating the current processes or can we use this DevOps thing to really support our business? In this talk, I’d like to discuss with you how to find the right design for your delivery process and your organization to behave as a business enabler and how you can scale DevOps within your organization without loosing agility. Let’s explore how we can listen carefully to the unknown customer out there and to build software they really like in the speed of your business.
Future of Ecommerce: How to Improve the Online Shopping Experience Using Mach...Skyl.ai
About the webinar
It’s no secret that a well-organized product catalog becomes extremely crucial as consumers look for a more rich and consistent online experience while E-shopping. Often, the task of digitizing the catalog of the fast-moving and large volume products becomes daunting due to insufficient, erroneous, and fragmented data.
This leads us to the question: If E-commerce and fashion companies need to be agile and consumer-friendly, then why are so many still using the same product catalog management methods that were devised years ago? The manual product classification and data attribution process are only leading to an increased risk of error and time delay affecting the brand reputation. Also, leading to lost sales opportunities due to incomplete or inaccurate product records that don’t really reflect the actual product.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to efficiently manage machine learning projects without tech headaches by plugging in your data and building your models instantly.
What you will learn
- How E-commerce companies are using AI to drive more sales and seamless customer experience
- Know the secret sauce of automating time-intensive, repetitive steps to quickly build models
- Demo: A deeper understanding of the end-to-end machine learning workflow for a fashion product catalog management using Skyl.ai
Watch the PPT to learn how intelligent automation enables companies to build remote working capabilities, increase productivity, and optimize the workforce.

Real time insights for better products, customer experience and resilient pla...Balvinder Hira
Businesses are building digital platforms with modern architecture principles like domain driven design, microservice based, and event-driven. These platforms are getting ever so modular, flexible and complex.
While they are built with architecture principles like - loose coupling, individually scaling, plug-and-play components; regulations and security considerations on data - complexity leads to many unknown and grey areas in the entire architecture. Details on how the different components of this complex architecture interact with each other are lost. Generating insights becomes multi-teams, multi-staged activity and hence multi-days activity.
Multiple users and stakeholders of the platform want different and timely insights to take both corrective and preventive actions.Business teams want to know how business is doing in every corner of the country near real time at a zipcode granularity. Tech teams want to correlate flow changes with system health including that of downstream stability as it happens.Knowing these details also helps in providing the feedback to the platform itself, to make it more efficient and also to the underlying business process.
In this talk we intend to share how we made all the business and technical insights of a complicated platform available in realtime with limited incremental effort and constant validation of the ideas and slices with business teams. Since the client was a Banking client, we will also touch base handling of financial data in a secure way and still enabling insights for a large group of stakeholders.
We kept the self-service aspect at the center of our solution - to accommodate increasing components in the source platform, evolving requirements, even to support new platforms altogether. Configurability and Scalability were key here, it was important that all the data that was collected from the source platform was discoverable and presentable. This also led to evolving the solution in lines of domain data products, where the data is generated and consumed by those who understand it the best.
DevOps as a Service - our own true story with a happy ending (JuCParis 2018)Philippe Ensarguet
Keynote of the 2nd Jenkins User Conference in Paris
Even if we are doing software since tens of years, Digital has definitively change the pace of its delivery and lifecycle ! When you're working in a corporate with thousands of people doing software as software editors or service integrators on tens of technical ecosystems, it make sense to have a corporate vision and propose software factories that will enabled coherency of tools and practices to deliver quality, efficiency and productivity of the delivery, at scale. In this session, the core idea is to share our own true story from 0 to DevOps as a Service and Software Data-Driven Cockpit, to setup on the fly software factories in aaS mode and monitor the production effort. #JuCParis #JenkinsUserConference
How to add Artificial Intelligence Capabilities to Existing Software PlatformsHarish Nalagandla
Artificial Intelligence is real and over the next few years, will significantly change the world as we know it. Even though there is some hype around this technology, many companies have put this to practical use, helping businesses delight their customers, increase engagement on their Platforms, and ultimately delivering positive financial results. Many companies have already invested into IT Platforms and it is not practical to invest in bringing up an Artificial Intelligence Platform in parallel. So, the more practical approach is to add Artificial Intelligence capabilities to existing Platforms.
In this keynote session, Harish Nalagandla, Director of Engineering, Enterprise Services Platform, PayPal, will discuss the pillars that form the foundation of Artificial Intelligence and will describe an approach towards how companies with existing systems can add Artificial Intelligence capabilities to their existing Platforms. This session will present a high level blueprint to help guide organizations in their own journey towards adoption of Artificial Intelligence technologies as they make progress towards digital transformation. This is a high level presentation targeted towards technology executives.

How to analyze text data for AI and ML with Named Entity RecognitionSkyl.ai
About the webinar
The Internet is a rich source of data, mainly textual data. But making use of huge quantities of data is a complex and time-consuming task. NLP can help with this problem through the use of Named Entity Recognition systems. Named entities are terms that refer to names, organizations, locations, values etc. NER annotates texts – marking where and what type of named entities occurred in it. This step significantly simplifies further use of such data, allowing for easy categorization of documents, analyze sentiments, improving automatically generated summaries etc.
Further, in many industries, the vocabulary keeps changing and growing with new research, abbreviations, long and complex constructions, and makes it difficult to get accurate results or use rule-based methods. Named Entity Recognition and Classification can help to effectively extract, tag, index, and manage this fast and ever-growing knowledge.
Through this webinar, we will understand how NER can be used to extract key entities from large volumes of text data
What you will learn
- How organizations are leveraging Named Entity Recognition across various industries
- Live demo - Identify & classify complex terms & with NERC (Named Entity Recognition & Categorization)
- Best practice to automate machine learning models in hours not months
Predictive analytics is touching more and more lives every day. Machine Learning lets you predict and change the future. Do you know that Microsoft products like Xbox and Bing integrate some machine learning capabilities in their workflows? Come to the session and take a look of the new cloud-based machine learning platform called AzureML from a BI architect perspective, without all the data scientist knowledge.

From the culture needed to shape this mindset, to execution which resulted into reducing the time it takes to productionize machine learning by 50%. We will discuss how we leveraged product mindset, coupled with data, to enable data scientists to be 50% more productive, while scaling the knowledge across our internal builder community.
Real time insights for better products, customer experience and resilient pla...Balvinder Hira
Businesses are building digital platforms with modern architecture principles like domain driven design, microservice based, and event-driven. These platforms are getting ever so modular, flexible and complex.
While they are built with architecture principles like - loose coupling, individually scaling, plug-and-play components; regulations and security considerations on data - complexity leads to many unknown and grey areas in the entire architecture. Details on how the different components of this complex architecture interact with each other are lost. Generating insights becomes multi-teams, multi-staged activity and hence multi-days activity.
Multiple users and stakeholders of the platform want different and timely insights to take both corrective and preventive actions.Business teams want to know how business is doing in every corner of the country near real time at a zipcode granularity. Tech teams want to correlate flow changes with system health including that of downstream stability as it happens.Knowing these details also helps in providing the feedback to the platform itself, to make it more efficient and also to the underlying business process.
In this talk we intend to share how we made all the business and technical insights of a complicated platform available in realtime with limited incremental effort and constant validation of the ideas and slices with business teams. Since the client was a Banking client, we will also touch base handling of financial data in a secure way and still enabling insights for a large group of stakeholders.
We kept the self-service aspect at the center of our solution - to accommodate increasing components in the source platform, evolving requirements, even to support new platforms altogether. Configurability and Scalability were key here, it was important that all the data that was collected from the source platform was discoverable and presentable. This also led to evolving the solution in lines of domain data products, where the data is generated and consumed by those who understand it the best.
DevOps as a Service - our own true story with a happy ending (JuCParis 2018)Philippe Ensarguet
Keynote of the 2nd Jenkins User Conference in Paris
Even if we are doing software since tens of years, Digital has definitively change the pace of its delivery and lifecycle ! When you're working in a corporate with thousands of people doing software as software editors or service integrators on tens of technical ecosystems, it make sense to have a corporate vision and propose software factories that will enabled coherency of tools and practices to deliver quality, efficiency and productivity of the delivery, at scale. In this session, the core idea is to share our own true story from 0 to DevOps as a Service and Software Data-Driven Cockpit, to setup on the fly software factories in aaS mode and monitor the production effort. #JuCParis #JenkinsUserConference
How to add Artificial Intelligence Capabilities to Existing Software PlatformsHarish Nalagandla
Artificial Intelligence is real and over the next few years, will significantly change the world as we know it. Even though there is some hype around this technology, many companies have put this to practical use, helping businesses delight their customers, increase engagement on their Platforms, and ultimately delivering positive financial results. Many companies have already invested into IT Platforms and it is not practical to invest in bringing up an Artificial Intelligence Platform in parallel. So, the more practical approach is to add Artificial Intelligence capabilities to existing Platforms.
In this keynote session, Harish Nalagandla, Director of Engineering, Enterprise Services Platform, PayPal, will discuss the pillars that form the foundation of Artificial Intelligence and will describe an approach towards how companies with existing systems can add Artificial Intelligence capabilities to their existing Platforms. This session will present a high level blueprint to help guide organizations in their own journey towards adoption of Artificial Intelligence technologies as they make progress towards digital transformation. This is a high level presentation targeted towards technology executives.

How to analyze text data for AI and ML with Named Entity RecognitionSkyl.ai
About the webinar
The Internet is a rich source of data, mainly textual data. But making use of huge quantities of data is a complex and time-consuming task. NLP can help with this problem through the use of Named Entity Recognition systems. Named entities are terms that refer to names, organizations, locations, values etc. NER annotates texts – marking where and what type of named entities occurred in it. This step significantly simplifies further use of such data, allowing for easy categorization of documents, analyze sentiments, improving automatically generated summaries etc.
Further, in many industries, the vocabulary keeps changing and growing with new research, abbreviations, long and complex constructions, and makes it difficult to get accurate results or use rule-based methods. Named Entity Recognition and Classification can help to effectively extract, tag, index, and manage this fast and ever-growing knowledge.
Through this webinar, we will understand how NER can be used to extract key entities from large volumes of text data
What you will learn
- How organizations are leveraging Named Entity Recognition across various industries
- Live demo - Identify & classify complex terms & with NERC (Named Entity Recognition & Categorization)
- Best practice to automate machine learning models in hours not months
Predictive analytics is touching more and more lives every day. Machine Learning lets you predict and change the future. Do you know that Microsoft products like Xbox and Bing integrate some machine learning capabilities in their workflows? Come to the session and take a look of the new cloud-based machine learning platform called AzureML from a BI architect perspective, without all the data scientist knowledge.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

72. Starting RPA Development with the reuse of code in mind
8 april 2022
“Deep-Dive”
Reusability first
versie 1.00
73. The goal of this session is not to teach how to reuse code, but rather to
encite discussion and share insights.
The main question we want to answer is:
Why is it important to think about the reuse of code at the
beginning of a project?
The goal
2
8 April 2022
74. What is your experience with reusability, (how) have you implemented it?
Have you done anything in the past that made you change the way you work?
Why should we use reusable components?
• Faster turnaround
• Better maintainability
• Drag and drop development
Why don’t we reuse components?
• Seemingly difficult, surprisingly easy
• Less room for errors, it has to work!
• A lot of work to implement after the fact (tech. debt)
Challenges in building reusable components
• Working with varying load times
• Selectors being too generic or specific
• Using variables and arguments
• Unclear use cases (when can I use it and when can I not?)
• What else?
Discussion
3
8 April 2022
75. Libraries
Create a new library for each application
Use a well-organized structure, similar to the applications navigation
menu
Create a template workflow within the library to ensure a level of
Build activities with a predictable in- and output
Activities should perform short actions like navigating or checking
states
Do not put process specific logic inside a library
Take extra care of stability and error handling (selectors, load times,
etc.)
Publish your workflow before pushing it to GIT so your
versionnumber gets incremented.
Some good practice examples
4
8 April 2022
77. Workflows
Create (invoke) workflows for process specific steps.
Tasks that contain very few activities and are hardly re-used
Use the yoyo-principle
• Always start from a centerpoint in the application and navigate back to
that point after finishing your task.
Some good practice examples
6
8 April 2022
78. Team members will inevitably have questions about your custom code.
What does the code do?
When can I use it?
What input does it need?
Other challenges?
A few solutions:
• A clear and concise name of the library (I.e.: SAP or Application X)
• A clear item structure
• A clear name for each activity
• Activity descriptions (annotations)
• Tooltips (annotations)
