Things WILL get VERY technical when two experts face-off in a unique session that explores polar perceptions regarding various types of logs, verbosity levels, data extraction, responses for alerts, and more. Be it Domino, Sametime, or Traveler operating on-prem. or in Hybrid and Cloud environments, it is vital to have an understanding of log data structure, what is (or isn't) logged and why, and how to search logs effectively. But aren't there ways to find your information without having to pipe everything into the log? Where does one's best practice end and another's begin? From this collision of opposing viewpoints and real-world stories, you'll take away knowledge and tools ready to deploy to various scenarios, products, and log types.
Do you want your administration day even easier? Are you aware of the free code snippets, tools and products you could be using in your arsenal? This session will fly through as many of them as we can in sixty minutes. Screenshots, demos and a nice bundled list of where to get them all. Just in case we can't fit them all in!
Examples are Domino server console shortcuts, Sametime buddylist management, LDAP verification, improved search tools within your Notes client and even more. I don't want to give all the hints away here.
BP201 Creating Your Own Connections Confection - Getting The Flavour RightGabriella Davis
IBM Connections 5 comes in a variety of exciting flavours - fancy a vanilla install, or maybe you want to add some extra sauce like External users or IBM Docs? A sprinkling of File Viewer and a few Surveys or maybe a dollop of Sametime. In this session we'll take a look at how to build the right flavour combination of Connections for your business from deciding what features you want through to architecting a solution. We will have plenty of "How Tos" such as how to add external users to your Connections communities securely and what does their experience look like? How much Sametime is just enough? What's the difference between IBM Docs, File Viewer and EditLive in features and deployment? If you're new to Connections, planning a move to Connections 5 or even considering what Connections features you might want to add, this is your session, low fat and calorie free!

1316: Enrich Your IBM Connections Profiles by Extending the Profiles Data Model
The profiles application is the core of your Connections deployment, it gives insight into the most valuable asset of your company: the people. The profiles service federates information from different source systems into one single reference. To enrich this important part of Connections we can extend the default Profiles data model and tailor it to your company's needs. By doing this, Profiles will become the" place to go" to access people information in your company: a place available to all employees wherever they work, resulting in a higher ROI for your Connections deployment.

AD214 What's Next? Application Modernization Roadmap for Socializing IBM Note...John Head
Some organizations neglect or under-utilize one of the greatest IT assets in their portfolio - the line of business application. Most were built 10+ years ago with no Web, mobile, or social. This session describes the application revolution taking place, covering the options and best practices required for success. Migration and new development will be compared and contrasted. Real-world data will demonstrate the positive potential return on investment. We will discuss PSC's Application Modernization Center and how it helps move customers from merely maintaining Notes applications to increasing their value with XPages. If your organization is considering a migration or an XPages solution for your Notes/Domino investments, this session is for you!

Building intelligent APIs - Andy Thurai, IBMPAPIs.io
The birth of a sophisticated Internet of Things has catapulted hybrid data collection, which mixes structured and unstructured data, to new heights. The goal with any analytics software is to find and improve better data sets rather than spending time in identifying, prepping, cleaning, and preparing the data. Not only is predicting and prescribing an action anticipating a future issue desired, but if the action is ignored then a forward thinking automatic adoption should suggest an advanced course correction based on previous action items not acted upon. Predictive analytics algorithms should recalibrate themselves. As the incoming data evolves, so do the algorithms – they must re-fit, re-predict and re-prescribe.
Andy Thurai, Program Director at IBM (API, IoT and Connected Cloud), discusses how the time has come for machines and humans to work together to make each other smarter. The combination of APIs, IoTs, big data, smarter analytics, and cognitive computing is transforming the way we see the future — and more importantly, what we do about it.
Social Connections VI Keynote - Why IBM Connections 5.0 MattersLuis Benitez
Presented at Prague during the Social Connections VI Keynote. IBM Connections 5.0 is here! This new release of IBM Connections brings new capabilities such as the ability to bring customers and partners into the conversation, work with your files offline, amazing new mobile capabilities, and more. Learn the significance of this release and why you shouldn't wait to upgrade. We'll show demos (yay!!) and walk through all the new capabilities in what promises to be a fun filled session!
IBM Collaboration Mobile Strategy and a New Way To workLuis Benitez
How can your data and analytics platforms and strategies keep up with a workplace that is ever more mobile and social? IBM can support not only your emerging data and analytics strategies, but connect them with the social and mobile tools people use every day. In this session, you will learn how an IBM collaborative mobile strategy can extend and transform your enterprise. You will see how mobile applications like IBM Connections and IBM Verse can drive employee productivity while they are on the go, by enabling them to use mobile social apps that tap into your enterprise data and analytics platforms.
IBM Connections is more than a social application, it is a highly evolved social enterprise platform. With this comes a high degree of integrability and the opportunity for end users to act in a contextual manner on business applications from within their collaboration environment, where their network of experts and shared knowledge can help them make better business decisions. This session will demonstrate some real world examples working both for IBM Connections on premises and on cloud. It will explain how this integration can be achieved through components such as the hompage's Activity Stream and how these integrations can come together for organisations to get the most out of this social enterprise platform

The deck contains a sample scenario that shows how to leverage the great capabilities available in IBM SmartCloud for Social Business and it shows how to extend this functionality via (XPages) apps to implement specific business requirements.
IBM SmartCloud for Social Business provides a big set of out of the box functionality. For example you can easily invite guests to your organization without having to add these people to on premises directories first. IBM SmartCloud for Social Business also provides a lot of social functionality like file sharing, forums and more. Furthermore with the latest release you can access files from you mobile devices even when you are offline.
In order to implement specific business requirements that the SmartCloud might not provide out of the box, apps can be developed that use the IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK. The partner community scenario demonstrates how you can add workflow functionality and how you can have internal discussions via your own apps.
Zeta Insurance is a fictive health insurance company which works with partners, the insurance brokers, to sell their products. The communication with partners is done via a SmartCloud community to which partners can easily be added as guests. Product brochures are stored in the community as files and brokers can ask questions about products via forums.
The insurance brokers use the SmartCloud community user experience. The Zeta Insurance support team does NOT use the SmartCloud user interface. Instead the support specialists use an internal support app. This allows them assign questions to certain support specialists so that multiple people don't waste time working on the same questions in parallel. Furthermore the support specialists can have internal discussions before they post answers to questions from partners.

How ANICO Brought Subsidiary Systems Together to Communicate with Policyholde...Davalen LLC
Learn how this organization developed the business case and implemented the project to build an integration solution between disparate systems to more effectively communicate with policyholders and external claimants in their Property and Casualty subsidiaries of American National Insurance Company. The presenters will share details including requirements to implement a secure integration strategy to authenticate through and communicate with third party systems, including Guidewire ClaimCenter® and IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF). Moving forward, specific design considerations included Single Sign On (SSO) capabilities from the P&C systems to IBM WebSphere Portal. Additional considerations required use of claims system data via web services to capture all relevant data about the claim, and an imaging system, CM8, to store the relevant claim information and documents as the source of record. Understand the achievements of this multi-channel solution, best practices and lessons learned, and future directions.
DESY's new data taking and analysis infrastructure for PETRA IIIUlf Troppens
DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) implemented a new IT architecture for the data taking and data analysis of measured data of the PETRA III particle accelerator. The new system needs to handle more than 20 gigabyte per second at peak performance in order to enable scientists worldwide to gain faster insights into the atomic structure of novel semiconductors, catalysts, biological cells and other samples. The implemented solution transfers to other fields of data centric science where remote devices (e.g. sensors, cameras) generate huge amounts of data which needs to be analyzed in a central data center. The solution is based on IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Elastic Storage Server.
The system is the result of a 1-year collaboration between DESY and IBM. I am honored and proud to be member of the project team.

Tip from ConnectED: Notes Goes Cloud: The IBM Notes Browser Plug-in Integrate...SocialBiz UserGroup
At IBM ConnectED last January, speaker Martin Garrels, from GAD eG, presented how GAD and IBM created an innovative solution enabling the IBM Notes Browser Plug-in to work in a fully integrated browser-based workplace. GAD is moving its workplace to a web-based cloud solution, using the power of iNotes, XPages, Connections, WebSphere Portal and the IBM Notes Browser Plug-in. With an IBM Domino infrastructure of about 1900 servers and 65,000 users in a multi-domain environment, GAD serves about 10,000 custom applications. Many applications are web-enabled with XPages technology, but a lot more are legacy applications, which are still in use. To put them in a browser context, the GAD and IBM team overcame many challenges.

Big Data Expo 2015 - IBM Outside the comfort zoneBigDataExpo
When it comes to high tech, we tend to wear blinders. We only want to see what's right in front of us. At times, we look forward but we rarely look around us to see how other industries are succeeding. This is especially true with organizations who want to look beyond business intelligence and reveal answers you never thought to ask. For example, what would demand forecasting for a Chief Marketing Officer in Media & Entertainment mean to a Chief Data Officer in banking? Or what would Customer Operations Transformation in Energy & Utilities mean to a Chief Customer Officer at a major retail operation? In this interactive and energetic session, we'll explore valuable cross-industry use cases to help get you "outside your comfort zone" and take a completely different look at how applications of advanced and predictive analytics on big data - or any data - can help you to act on real-time insights to fundamentally transform your business.

Social Identity - Public, Personal & Private from SxSW 2014 excerptChris Miller
Presented at SxSW 2014, Social Identity is not just your socially shared content, but your identity you build on the public and personal social networks that affect you privately.
In this recorded session I walk through the definition of social identity and how to split it into personas. I show where we have all made the worst mistakes along the way and how to get out of exposing our social identity.
With the amount of private identity data we share accidentally across the social sites and the amount of public data we use in our private site we open ourselves to security risks. With no tangible benefit in the sharing. Explore this topic with me in the session below.
Please share this video and post with whomever you feel needs to change how they handle their identity.

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!

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.
