Do the math: algebra will transform information management. Just as the relational database revolutionized the information landscape, so will a just-released, complete algebra of data overhaul the industry itself. So says Dr. Robin Bloor in his new book, the Algebra of Data, which he’ll outline in this special one-hour webcast.
Once organizations learn how to express their data sets algebraically, the benefits will be significant and far-reaching. Data quality problems will slowly subside; queries will run orders of magnitude faster; integration challenges will fade; and countless tedious jobs in the data management space will bid their farewell. But first, software companies must evolve, and that will take time.

The ETL process was born out of necessity, and for decades it has been the glue between data sources and target applications. But as data
growth soars and increased competition demands real-time data, standard ETL has become brittle and often unmanageable. Scaling up resources can do the trick, but it’s very costly and only a matter of time before the processes hit another bottleneck. When outmoded ETL stands in the way of real-time analytics, it might be time to consider a completely new approach.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor as he explains how modern, data-driven architectures must adopt an equally capable data integration strategy.

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).

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.
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.

36. • What are the types of use cases that InfoBright is getting the most
traction from? We have telecom and mobile payment in the case
study, but I would be looking for top-5 that may or may not include
those two.
• Are there differences in the geography adoption of InfoBright
products? Just wondering about the distribution of particular use
cases geographically by region: North America, CALA, EMEA,
AsiaPAC.
• Talk about the attributes of the telecom and mobile payment
markets that are “sweet spots” for InfoBright. I would guess it is the
“limited” amount of data values (ie., dates, towers, amounts) and
the “exploratory” nature (ie.,not set columns of data set).

37. • Talk about the choice of MySQL vs. another SQL “interface” for
InfoBright. I like the choice, but I would just like to hear the
qualitative and quantitative reasons from InfoBright’s perspective.
• Many people talk about Big-Data requirements (3Vs). What is
InfoBright’s specific competitive advantage over other Big Data
vendors/players (structured and unstructured)? I am guessing
implementation cost, time to implementation and load speed.
• Why purpose built Columnar over Columnar indexing which has
become “popular” from row-based RDBMS vendors?
