IBM Rational Software Conference 2009: Modeling, Architecture & Construction ...Kathy (Kat) Mandelstein
Track Keynote for the Modeling, Architecture & Construction Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Software development is a business process requiring many different talents to implement effectively. The software architect and the software developer are key roles for successful software delivery. The architect is responsible for turning requirements into analysis and design models built on a sound architecture. Software architecture is crucial for designing reliable, flexible, and maintainable software systems, and helps communicate the high-level design to the various stakeholders at a level of detail that is meaningful to them. It also allows developers to create software systems that enable reuse and integration with legacy and third-party systems. Developers create the reality of the architecture ideas and models through building, modernizing, extending, integrating, and deploying software. Sessions in this track explore the benefits of a well-architected system, present the tips and techniques of organizations that have made software architecture an important part of their software delivery process, and show how both visual and code-centric development can help organizations adopt the right paradigm for their particular development needs. This track is for architects and developers interested in best practices and the latest innovations in methodology and tools for supporting architectural design, discovery, and control, and software construction and assembly.
Track Keynote for the Enterprise Architecture Management Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Today's organizations need to make faster, better-informed decisions in order to seize business opportunities. Enterprise Architecture (EA) delivers enterprise blueprints for change and transformation, with visibility across strategy, business architecture, IT architecture and technology. Further, EA helps organizations prioritize IT investments to support business goals in order to maximize the business value from IT investments by installing a powerful communication and collaboration platform between business and IT stakeholders. Organizations that practice EA report more effective decision-making, improved business and IT alignment, IT cost savings, better insight during organizational transformations, and improved time-to-value of in their IT investments. EA also improves the success of IT Governance, SOA and Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives.
This track focuses on the management aspects of EA and therefore balances two areas of concern: Building an EA, and using an EA. Building the EA applies modeling notations, processes, methodologies, and tools surrounding various forms of business and solution architecture, addressing both current and future states. Using the EA addresses how those activities and associated artifacts are linked to solution requirements, software development, and application deployment processes. By addressing both building and using concerns, participants learn how to makes EA more actionable -- integrating strategy and solution delivery -- thereby improving time-to-value for affecting transformation and overall business results.
Participants who will find the greatest value from this track include: Business LOB Executives, IT Executives, Business Strategists, Enterprise Architects, Business Architects and Business Analysts. This track will also benefit IT Architects, Solution Architects, Software Architects, Data Architects and Project managers who are interested in best practices, real-world experiences, and the latest innovations in enhancing organizational agility and the communication and collaboration between business and IT.

SnapLogic Elastic Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)Darren Cunningham
Integration is at the heart of every successful Social, Mobile, Analytics (Big Data), Cloud and the Internet of Things (SMACT) initiative. A modern integration platform as a service (iPaaS) must be fast to deploy and easy to use. It must be able to handle a variety of patterns, styles and endpoints. It must be able to connect to cloud and on-premises applications and data sources. And a modern cloud integration platform must be elastic in order to scale out as more capacity is needed. The SnapLogic integration platform as a service (iPaaS) eliminates the need to choose between multiple tools and teams for application, process and data integration, allowing you to instantly access and stream data, regardless of its location, size, and type.
According to industry analysts, within 5 years the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO. Check out SnapLogic's infographic, which explains why CIOs are getting “SMACT” due to the adoption of Social, Mobile, Analytics and Big Data, Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things.

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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.

26. Demo: Lean Integration Principles
• We have a remote group (located anywhere in the
world) that needs an integration tool immediately!
In 10-15 minutes, we will “Empower the Team” by:
• Deploying a brand new Informatica Cloud “child” Org from a
Master Informatica Cloud Org (central control & mgmt.)
• Adding a new user to that Informatica Cloud Org
• Install & Register the Secure Agent as that new user
• Migrating a prebuilt Informatica Cloud Template Task from our
master Informatica Cloud Org repository and configure it to
load data into Salesforce (reusable component library)
• Validate our data is loaded into Salesforce
• Review and monitor all of the activity in our sub or child org
from our Master Org

Editor's Notes
With each department using its own SaaS application (and sometimes having multiple instances of that app), you have data isolated in these SaaS siloed. And since every department is interdependent upon one another for certain data, it affects their own productivity in these areas. When IT tries to support them, they too fall victim to problems caused by the rise in SaaS apps.
What impact do these increasing silos have on the business? Just as you’ve described, our clients tell us their business struggles to find the information they need, driving down productivityWithout the right data, they can’t make the right decisions to drive deals, target the right leads and customers with marketing campaigns or service effectivelyIT is trying to serve the business, but they are facing cost pressure and trying to manage business users who are often driving cloud applications.Operations and Admins are partnering with IT, but are struggling to drive user adoption because of inconsistent, duplicate or missing data, wasting time time entering data in multiple systems and making manually updates.
First, it’s about getting your data into the right place.Our customers leverage our data integration tool to load data into the cloud, synchronize data between cloud and on-premise applications and replicate their data to ensure compliance and best in class reporting. We’re truly enabling our customers to get to the cloud from their current ecosystems.Qualcomm did just that – their CIO maximizes his resources by using Informatica to get data into Salesforce.com quickly and easily, leaving his team to do more for the business.
