Solving Big Data Challenges for Enterprise Application Performance ManagementTilmann Rabl
This is a presentation that was held at the 38th Conference on Very Large Databases (VLDB), 2012.

Abstract:
As the complexity of enterprise systems increases, the need for monitoring and analyzing such systems also grows. A number of companies have built sophisticated monitoring tools that go far beyond simple resource utilization reports. For example, based on instrumentation and specialized APIs, it is now possible to monitor single method invocations and trace individual transactions across geographically distributed systems. This high-level of detail enables more precise forms of analysis and prediction but comes at the price of high data rates (i.e., big data). To maximize the benefit of data monitoring, the data has to be stored for an extended period of time for ulterior analysis. This new wave of big data analytics imposes new challenges especially for the application performance monitoring systems. The monitoring data has to be stored in a system that can sustain the high data rates and at the same time enable an up-to-date view of the underlying infrastructure. With the advent of modern key-value stores, a variety of data storage systems have emerged that are built with a focus on scalability and high data rates as predominant in this monitoring use case.
In this work, we present our experience and a comprehensive performance evaluation of six modern (open-source) data stores in the context of application performance monitoring as part of CA Technologies initiative. We evaluated these systems with data and workloads that can be found in application performance monitoring, as well as, on-line advertisement, power monitoring, and many other use cases. We present our insights not only as performance results but also as lessons learned and our experience relating to the setup and configuration complexity of these data stores in an industry setting.
Starting in May 2010, with SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft began talking more and more about "Personal BI". The focus of this discussion was a paradigm shift moving business intelligence from being something a few BI professionals do with a data warehouse to a practice done by Information Workers every day in familiar tools like Microsoft Excel and SharePoint. Over the course of this session we will show you the improvements that Microsoft has made in the 2013 stack to take this new focus from being a “nice idea” to a truly powerful reality. We will explore the improvements made to Excel, PowerPivot & Power View, & Reporting Services. We will explain the underlying technology that makes the new features possible and walk through demos of some of the shinier toys. At the end of the session you will walk away with a better understanding of what is new in 2013 for business intelligence and an extreme desire to build reusable data model that will undoubtedly bring real value to your business.

Using obi apps to consolidate data for taleo, salesforce and net suite apps_pptShiv Bharti
With an increase in the adoption of cloud applications by large corporations, most organizations today are in some form of hybrid state i.e. they are using a combination of both on-premise as well as cloud applications to run their business.
Regardless of where the applications maintain their data, organizations need the ability to see a complete view of the company spanning across different parts of the business, which in this case would be combining insightful data across on-premise as well as public cloud instances.
To take some examples:
->Combining HR and Financials data to analyze Revenue per employee
->Combining Sales and Financials data to create customer Scorecards
->Combining Sales and Order Management data to improve your demand planning system
->Combining your Sales and Financials Data for Forecasting
In this article, I would like to present multiple design approaches that other organizations have successfully used to consolidate data from multiple cloud and on-premise applications and to perform seamless analytics across these varied data sources.
If you are attending Collaborate15 (#C15LV), please join me to discuss this topic and case studies of what other organizations are doing to address this challenge.
The presentation discusses the different aspects of Power BI like Power BI for O365, Data Discovery, Data Analysis, Data Visualization & Power Maps, Natural Language Search etc.

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).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

From Traditional to Self Service BI
15. Alan Koo | www.alankoo.com
Self-Service BI or simply better results?
• Because the organization has insufficient insight into its data
• Because traditional BI is too expensive
• Because traditional BI is too slow
• Because you were told to go get it
http://www.powerpivotpro.com/2013/06/self-serve-bi-tool-scorecard-powerpivot-vs-the-others-and-why-not-all-checkboxes-are-equal/
A self-serve BI tool is a means to an end

Microsoft Excel for BI
• It is very likely that Excel is already the lifeblood of your organization
• These people will be the primary power users of any new self-serve tool you adopt
• All of the tools tend to look a lot easier to learn than they are
• Excel is FAR more flexible than ANY of the other tools
• “Export to Excel” exists because of Excel’s flexibility,
not just because of Excel’s popularity
• If Excel isn’t your BI tool, all of that “Export to Excel”
activity leads to fragmented intelligence.

Editor's Notes
As we look at the IT industry today, a number of important trends are changing the way software is being purchased, deployed and used in the organization. Data ExplosionThe volume of data in the workplace is exploding. According to IDC, digital data will grow more than 40x over the next decade. As more and more data is created digitally, we expect to see ever greater demands being placed on our data platforms to store, secure, process and manage these large volumes of data.Consumerization of ITToday we see an increasing trend toward the “consumerization” of IT which is creating the demand for highly interactive and easy-to-use experiences in the business environment. As consumers, we are accustomed to powerful user-friendly experiences, whether searching the Internet on a mobile device to find information instantly, or quickly accessing our personal financial data. In the workplace, however, we are often unable to answer even the most basic questions about our business. Increasingly, users demand business experiences that more closely mirror the convenience and ease of use in consumer life.Private and Public CloudCloud computing is changing the way data is accessed and processed, and it is creating whole new models for the way applications are delivered. According to IDC, Cloud services will account for 46% of net-new growth in overall IT spending. With private and public cloud infrastructure, organizations have an opportunity to reduce TCO dramatically as data volume increases. As we see an evolution toward greater use of private and public clouds, we see an increasing need for solutions that support hybrid cloud scenarios.
Since the goal of building a business intelligence solution is to drive better decision making, there is no single solution scenario to describe what a BI Solution looks like.There are however some broad categories of solutions that describe common approaches to BI solutions that are defined on this slide. These solutions range from low complexity / small investment (Operational Reporting) up to high complexity / large investment (Enterprise Data Warehousing)This workshop will focus on the Data Mart / Integrated Reporting and Analytics solution scenario because it covers all of the technology used in the other scenarios, and is very common in the ISV and SI space. Building a data mart means providing improved access and tools to business users of your application data at all levels of the organization (executives, analysts, information workers, front-line workers), allowing your customer to better leverage the data assets contained in your application.By understanding this solution scenario, you can decide how to approach building your first BI solution. Some developers may elect to start small by simply providing improved access to operational data as described in the Operational Reporting scenario. Other developers may decide to tackle the larger problem of providing comprehensive integrated reporting and analytics capabilities to their application as described in the Data Mart scenario. Truly adventurous developers may decide to tackle the larger problem of Enterprise Data Warehousing, and attempt to provide their customer with an Enterprise Information Management solution which solves the larger problem of providing an integrated view of enterprise information across application boundaries.
