Improving your PUE while consolidating into an existing live data centerSchneider Electric
While there are multiple consolidation options to consider, upgrading an existing data center has a significantly lower capital investment, requires no new real estate acquisition, can be phased to match IT refresh cycles and IT virtualization, and can be done while the data center is live. This session explores these considerations which are particularly important in the Federal space as well as a high density POD overlay discussion and approaches to reducing PUE.

Implementing Hot and Cold Air Containment in Existing Data CentersSchneider Electric
Containment solutions can eliminate hot spots and provide energy savings over traditional uncontained data center designs. The best containment solution for an existing facility will depend on the constraints of the facility. While ducted hot aisle containment is preferred for highest efficiency, cold aisle containment tends to be easier and more cost effective for facilities with existing raised floor air distribution. This presentation investigates the constraints, reviews all available containment methods, and provides recommendations for determining the best containment approach.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Editor's Notes
At the outset lemme tell u abt the long theme for todays presentation..we too thought of putting a simple Green framework of DC..or just 10 Steps for Green Data center..but Green has become too jargonised, not just used rampantly but rather Abused..…Green Data Center..Green Servers…Green PCs..Green Rack..everything around is green..to think of it..Reams of Papers have not been just published but printed to orchestrate ..Ironic it may sound..Printing abt green…when concept of printing itself is Anti Green..so we had a long but easily digestible theme..EL..holistics….Period.
Agenda is very basic..we are not here to hard sell u any emerson products..neither are we peddling any emerson Solutions to anyone through our presentation..As “Thought Leader” in IT support infrastruture..we would like to evangelise the concept of EL..we would talk abt DC AS..which again guides DC users on industry best practises.. We would also like to take u thru one of the most exciting tool available to Indian customers on how to configure your dc even before laying its first brick…how can users optimise their DC by trying out various permutation combinations..again it highlights the industry best practises..which are vendor neutral. At the end..as a platinum sponsor of the event we deserve to talk abt emerson in single Slide..just one slide on emerson..
Since green is gaining so much of traction offlate..we need to get to the root of why EE is becoming so critical to one and all in Data Center..Emerson Network power USA conducts Survey DC user group twice every year..once in fall and once in spring..and till nov 2007 EE never featured in top 10 concerns of the user group..but in nov 2007 EE catapulted to no 3 concern amongst the useres…we need to get at rack level to understand this phenomenon ..increasing heat density within Rack compounded by spiralling energy cost compelled users to take EE seriously..u can say the Heat in the rack was too much for all to handle..
Since green is gaining so much of traction offlate..we need to get to the root of why EE is becoming so critical to one and all in Data Center..Emerson Network power USA conducts Survey DC user group twice every year..once in fall and once in spring..and till nov 2007 EE never featured in top 10 concerns of the user group..but in nov 2007 EE catapulted to no 3 concern amongst the useres…we need to get at rack level to understand this phenomenon ..increasing heat density within Rack compounded by spiralling energy cost compelled users to take EE seriously..u can say the Heat in the rack was too much for all to handle..
One of the current pain point with the data center users is…that there is no std metric to measure the efficacy of the energy efficiencies undertaken by the orgn..is it Compute /watt or CUPS compute unit per second..GG try to come out with metric called PUE..Power Usage Effectiveness ie total power draw by DC ecosystem/ power draw by Compute Load..ie IT (Servers+ storage+commn) but still it is a far cry from standardised unit of measure of data Center efficiency…
Data Centers draw a lot of power, so. IT is not in the business of worrying about power consumption or increasing energy costs, we care about performance, reliability, ease of support, and security and anything else that impacts our ability or inability to meet our Customer SLA’s. In most cases we don’t even know what our energy costs are. We have a data center tucked away in a room inside of dual use facility, maybe an office building, manufacturing location, where all of those energy costs roll up into the total facility and are allocated based on some square footage calculation. IT never even sees it. Well I was like that until a year ago, when out of the blue we received notice from an outsource provider supporting our main corporate data center forewarning us of a power shortage that is going to increase our operating costs by 100%, and oh by the way this is occurring in 8 months, and thanking us business. Okay now you got my attention. As I dug into this, not an isolated event, seems to occurs more and more often, and from listening to some of these presentations, frequency will increase. One of the main problems is getting the IT community to understand the issues of energy efficiency. Either they get hit between the eyes like us, or it must become a priority for the company to lower energy costs. And the first step in this process is to answer the question, what do I spend today? And how will these actions impact performance and reliability. Let me show how we have used this to our advantage in Emerson.
Data Center managers need more holistic and vendor neutral soln..need quantified savings and definitive and assured payback calculations..tailored solns for compute intensive 24X7 and 8X5 transaction intensive …actionable advise..prioritisation of actions.
Simple layout of data center ecosystem..it can be broadly split in three parts..IT side comprising of Compute equipments / storage and communincation/nw equipments..now what is supplied by UPS/cooling is completely a function of what is demanded by the IT side..distribution is a viaduct for supply of this power to Load ie IT side.
