Workload Transformation and Innovations in POWER Architecture Ganesan Narayanasamy
IT Industry is going through two major transformations. One is adaption of AI and tight integration of the same in the commercial applications and enterprise workflow. Two the transformation in software architecture through the concepts like microservices and the cloud native architecture. These transformation alongside the aggressive adaption of IoT/mobile and 5G in all our day today activities is making the world operate in more real time manner which opens-up a new challenge to improve the hardware architecture to adapt to these requirements. These above two major transformation pushes the boundary of the entire systems stack making the designer rethink hardware. This talk presents you a picture of how the enterprise Industry leading POWER architecture is transforming to fulfill the performance demands of these newer generation workloads with primary focus on the AI acceleration on the chip.

With the rapid growth in data and move towards data commercialisation there are multiple aspects to focus on and prioritize the steps being taken across an enterprise. Enterprises face many challenges when it comes to truly becoming a data driven organization and realize the full potential of data. Some of those challenges include data availability, capacity to process, store and analyze this data, sharing the models and data artefacts across different teams etc. Most of these challenges could be handled through a platform which is Cloud based, scalable, and offers different capabilities for Governance, security, reusability and their likes. In this talk, I will talk about how IBM Cloud Pak serves as a framework for implementing your AI Strategy and how it could be used to build different artefacts while adhering to above listed requirements and being future ready. We will further illustrate how Cloud Pak for Data fastens and shortens the route to data commercialisation?

Open source Apache Hadoop is a great framework for distributed processing of large data sets. But there’s a difference between “playing” with big data versus solving real problems. The reality is that Hadoop alone is not enough. In fact, almost every organization that plans to use Hadoop for production use quickly discovers that it lacks the required features for enterprise use. And, fewer still have the Hadoop specialists on hand to navigate through the complexity to build reliable, robust applications. As a result, many Hadoop projects never make it to production as executives say, “we just don’t have the skills.” In this session, we will discuss these enterprise capabilities and why they’re important: analytics, visualization, security, enterprise integration, developer/admin tools, and more. Additionally, we will share several real-world client examples who have found it necessary to use an enterprise-grade Hadoop platform to tackle some of the most interesting and challenging business problems.

Leveraging the Power of the ServiceNow® Platform with Mainframe and IBM i Sys...Precisely
ServiceNow is a recognized leader transforming the impact, speed and delivery of IT by breaking down silos and providing visibility across the enterprise. Meanwhile, more than 2.5 billion business transactions run on mainframes each day and over 100,000 companies use IBM i technology to run their business. Yet, until recently, these critical systems have been disconnected from the ServiceNow platform – leaving a significant blind spot in the enterprise-wide view of IT infrastructure.
View this webinar on-demand to learn about Syncsort Ironstream, the first product to seamlessly integrate IBM mainframe and IBM i systems into the ServiceNow platform to support IT Operations and Service Management.
Product experts will discuss the value this integration delivers to your business, as well as show how mainframe and IBM i data is used within the ServiceNow platform to deliver high-performance business services.
During this webinar, we cover:
• The benefits – and challenges – of including mainframe and IBM i data in the ServiceNow platform
• How Syncsort Ironstream integrates with ServiceNow Discovery and ServiceNow Event Management
• A demonstration of how mainframe and IBM i data works within ServiceNow to address top ITSM use cases, including change management, incident management and event management

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).

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.
