Do you spend hours each month searching for, and not always finding, the document or information you need to do your job? These are often not just ‘would-like-to-have’ files, but rather those that you actually need to complete your work. Other times they are the ones that would help you do your job faster and better, if only you could find them.
Many organizations have numerous content repositories including databases, document management systems, file shares, content management systems, intranets, public-facing websites, and of course, clinical and safety systems. What if there were a way to search all of those repositories at once, using a single search box, and quickly pinpoint the exact document or information that you need?
Leading life sciences companies, including Amgen and Genentech, use the Google Search Appliance to search across multiple content sources in order to improve business processes like compliance, research and development, marketing, and more.
In our webinar, Google's Head of Search, Rob Cocks, and Perficient’s Google Practice Director, Chad Johnson, discussed why and how life sciences companies can leverage the Google Search Appliance to save time, money, and eliminate frustration.

Assessing New Databases– Translytical Use CasesDATAVERSITY
Organizations run their day-in-and-day-out businesses with transactional applications and databases. On the other hand, organizations glean insights and make critical decisions using analytical databases and business intelligence tools.
The transactional workloads are relegated to database engines designed and tuned for transactional high throughput. Meanwhile, the big data generated by all the transactions require analytics platforms to load, store, and analyze volumes of data at high speed, providing timely insights to businesses.
Thus, in conventional information architectures, this requires two different database architectures and platforms: online transactional processing (OLTP) platforms to handle transactional workloads and online analytical processing (OLAP) engines to perform analytics and reporting.
Today, a particular focus and interest of operational analytics includes streaming data ingest and analysis in real time. Some refer to operational analytics as hybrid transaction/analytical processing (HTAP), translytical, or hybrid operational analytic processing (HOAP). We’ll address if this model is a way to create efficiencies in our environments.
Sabre is a technology solutions provider to the global travel and tourism industry, encompassing four business units: Sabre Airlines Solutions, Sabre Travel Network, Sabre Hospitality Solutions and Travelocity. Sabre provides software to travel agencies, corporations, travelers, airlines, hotels, rental car, rail, cruise and tour operator companies. Divisions within each of these groups also service the business or corporate travel market. Sabre grew out of American Airlines and was spun off with an IPO in 2000 and currently employs approximately 10,000 people in 60 countries. In addition to managing the business processes and reporting across the four divisions, the IT group has been tasked to provide an agile architecture to accommodate M&A opportunities in the hospitality industry. Clearly, one of the biggest opportunities for leverage of corporate information assets is travel-related “public” and “private” reference data. Critical to the launch of such a program is to answer the key question “Why after all this time do we need RDM?” This session will provide insights and best practices concerning the establishment of an enterprise RDM program in a large global enterprise by discussing topics such as:
– Establishing the business value of an enterprise RDM program (“Hello, Houston … we have a problem”)
– Overcoming the cultural & territorial obstacles by selling change as a compelling argument for RDM (“Shift Happens”)
– Futureproofing the enterprise RDM program solution, outcome & direction (“What we didn’t think about”)
Increasing Agility Through Data VirtualizationDenodo
During the Data Summit Conference in New York, our CMO Ravi Shankar and BJ Fesq, Chief Data Officer at CIT Group, were discussing the modernization of data architectures with data virtualization.
This presentation explores how data virtualization is being used to dramatically reduce data proliferation and ensure that all consumers are working with a single source of the truth. It also looks at how data virtualization can drive standardization, measure and improve data quality, abstract data consumers from data providers, expose data lineage, enable cross-company data integration, and serve as a common provisioning point from which to access all authoritative sources of data.
ADV Slides: What the Aspiring or New Data Scientist Needs to Know About the E...DATAVERSITY
Many data scientists are well grounded in creating accomplishment in the enterprise, but many come from outside – from academia, from PhD programs and research. They have the necessary technical skills, but it doesn’t count until their product gets to production and in use. The speaker recently helped a struggling data scientist understand his organization and how to create success in it. That turned into this presentation, because many new data scientists struggle with the complexities of an enterprise.
ADV Slides: Data Pipelines in the Enterprise and ComparisonDATAVERSITY
Despite the many, varied, and legitimate data platforms that exist today, data seldom lands once in its perfect spot for the long haul of usage. Data is continually on the move in an enterprise into new platforms, new applications, new algorithms, and new users. The need for data integration in the enterprise is at an all-time high.
Solutions that meet these criteria are often called data pipelines. These are designed to be used by business users, in addition to technology specialists, for rapid turnaround and agile needs. The field is often referred to as self-service data integration.
Although the stepwise Extraction-Transformation-Loading (ETL) remains a valid approach to integration, ELT, which uses the power of the database processes for transformation, is usually the preferred approach. The approach can often be schema-less and is frequently supported by the fast Apache Spark back-end engine, or something similar.
In this session, we look at the major data pipeline platforms. Data pipelines are well worth exploring for any enterprise data integration need, especially where your source and target are supported, and transformations are not required in the pipeline.

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).
Speakers:

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.

Characteristics of Big Data
• Data in motion
analyzes data
before storage
• Data at rest
analytics are
based on a
historic snapshot
Source: IBM
11. Big Data Technologies
• MapReduce frameworks implements
pattern recognition though
classification algorithms – what
happened?
• Data Visualization presents
information views graphically and/or
statistically – what happened and what
might happen?
• Predictive Analytics uses
mathematical pattern recognition in
historical data – what’s going to
happen?
• Complex Event Processing uses
pattern recognition on event streams
and can apply rules to predict logical
events – what is going to happen and
what do we do about it?

12. Log Analysis vs. Business Analytics
• Ingest – Versus ETL
• Big Data – Bidirectional
integration with Hadoop
• Query language – MapReduce
function on unstructured data
• Drill anywhere – Investigate on
all the data versus a predefined
schema or cube
• Information discovery –
Discover relationships based on
patterns in the data
• Ad-hoc versus dimensional –
Log analysis is not based a
predefined structure based a
point-in-time set of requirements

13. Predictive Analysis
• Predict the future state of
variables associated with
business goals
• Describe human
detectable patterns
• Data mining techniques
• Rule Discovery – describe
• Pattern Discovery – describe
• Clustering – describe
• Classification – predict
• Regression – predict
• Deviation – predict

14. Event-driven Architecture
• Event-driven architecture
(EDA) is a software
architecture pattern promoting
the production, detection,
consumption of, and reaction
to events
• Complex event processing
(CEP) consists in processing
many events happening
across all the layers of an
organization, identifying the
most meaningful events within
the event cloud, analyzing their
impact, and taking subsequent
action in real time.

16. Barriers to Big Data Analytics
• Information throughout the
enterprise
• Silos of data
• Decentralized control
• No one single solution
• No cohesive strategy
• Legacy systems difficult to
make part of the strategy

18. The SOA Information Gap
″SOA by itself does nothing to address the question
of how data should be managed within this
architecture. ... data remains fragmented despite
the best efforts to rationalize it. This issue is
motivating the creation of a new class of
middleware that Forrester calls the information
fabric.”
The Forrester Report Information Fabric:
Enterprise Data Virtualization

″ You will waste your investment in SOA unless you have enterprise
information that SOA can exploit.”

20. Business Process Management and
Workflow
• The term Business Process Management refers to activities
performed by businesses to optimize and adapt their processes.
• Although it can be said that organizations have always been using
BPM, a new impetus based on the advent of software tools which
allow for
• Direct execution of the business processes without a costly and time
intensive development of the required software.
• In addition, these tools can also monitor the execution of the business
processes, providing managers of an organization with the means to
analyze their performance and make changes to the original processes in
real-time
• BPM has a tight link to componentized and service oriented IT
architecture

• Mostly visual programming/modeling
22. Process Orchestration Layer - BPMS
• Designer and repository
• Execution engine
• Database – case state
• Database – case history
• Case history reporting – KPIs,
task timings, timings by role
• Starting a new case is

• Manages the lifecycle of the
rules
• Author rules
• Execute stateless rules
• Statistical reports about rule
execution
• Rule execution is embedded in
business applications – e.g. a
decision service

24. Using BRMS in BPMS
• Lifecycle of rules are
external to the BPMS
• Business processes “call”
rules e.g. via services
• Rules make a stateless
decision
• Rules have to have a
driving workflow or
application

26. CEP High-level Architecture
Patterns
• Situation awareness is
about "knowing" the state of
the product, person,
document, or entity of interest
at any point in time.
• Sense and respond is about
detecting some significant
fact about the product,
person, document or entity of
interest, and responding
accordingly
• Track and trace is about
tracking the product, person,
document or entity of interest
over time and tracing
pertinent facts

27. CEP Benefits
• Manage events, state transitions, and event correlation reducing
code in the application layer
• Control logic
• Persistence logic
• Business Rules
• Drive business processes with correlated events
• Create operational efficiencies with the same events and drive
longer-term strategic decision support
• Less complex rules with the event driven concepts
• Persistent business objects
• Known context of the event
27
28. CEP Roadmap and Methodology
• Target critical business events for process
automation and decision optimization
• Inventory relevant events, rules and concepts
• Identify candidate business (sub)process to
automate
• Project LoE(s) and Roadmap
• Integrate systems used in key business
processes
• Instrument applications to emit events
• Define process activities
• Mine candidate rules – code and predictive
analytics
• Model events, rules and concepts
• Iterate through business processes

29. Telco CEP Case Study
• Provisioning
• Track missing provisioning notifications and sends complex events to Billing Ops on
missing notifications
• Open Orders
• Used to track Orders that have not been closed due to a missing event. CEP detects
the missing event and auto closes the Order in the Payment Processing system.
• Pending Payments
• Used to process payments that are pended by the payment processing system. CEP
stores the payment data within the cache and closes the payment at a later via
SOA.
• Customer Coupon Offers
• CEP is used to monitor, alert and prevent Stores from going over a threshold of the
discount funds that they are allocated.
• Logistics Alerts
• CEP is used to track location and Product updates from logistics and to invoke GEH
to republish failed messages
• CEP Framework
• Created CEP developer guide and logging framework to log and search events in
Splunk
