The Future of Mainframe Data is in the CloudPrecisely
As organizations make the move to cloud platforms to support modern analytics and applications, they often need to move more than their on-premises data warehouses and lakes. Organizations often have legacy mainframe systems that run their mission-critical and revenue-generating applications, and that should be included in modern cloud projects.
Yet it can be difficult to replicate mainframe data onto cloud platforms to make it a part of your data-driven initiatives, due to the data’s complex format. When moving data to the cloud it needs to maintain accuracy, consistency, and context to be considered trusted data. At the same time, the data needs to be available in real time to cloud-based data management and analytics applications.
Join this session for a discussion with experts from Precisely and AWS about how to bring your data to applications and services on the cloud. Topics include:
The importance of mainframe data for organizationsHow to migrate/replicate mainframe data to cloud platformsHow to ensure trusted data on cloud platforms

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.
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!

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.

Phased approach details
Migration Strategy and Timeline
29. Where Are We Now?
Mid-migration, current status
Currently migrating targeted solutions with a
focus on a dozen data centers
30. Benefits We’ve Seen So Far
Can analyze an entire datacenter environment for quick macro level
understanding of costs.
All team members using the same model for cost estimates
increases accuracy and reduces confusion
CloudHealth’s migration assessment right sizes workloads before
we move them.
Modeling migration planning in CloudHealth instead of spreadsheets
or other homegrown solutions
Can deploy new workloads in minutes, not weeks.
Speed and ease
Improved accuracy
Reduced spend
Saved employee time
Faster deployment in the cloud
31. Next Steps
Work with other Cox Automotive solution groups, to share best
practices and learnings as they migrate to AWS as well
– Training and enablement is key
Continue to manage across hybrid infrastructure with CloudHealth
– Ability to report on cost and usage of infrastructure by line of business and
team is critical
– Managing RI purchases
– Automated cleanup of unused resources
