The issue of quality in networks has been long being troublesome, resulting in endless deferral. It was a hard issue for the pioneers to deal with ‘quality’ and ‘QoS’ as the underlying mathematics was insufficient to support their ambitions. We have now filled in a significant part of the missing mathematical foundations. The culmination of that work is the ∆Q framework.
As a by-product of this framework, a new approach to sharing quality has become possible: a polyservice network. We believe that this is a significant conceptual and practical advance. However, we have (until now) lacked industry standard terminology to describe it.
This short presentation introduces the idea of a polyservice network, and contrasts it with pre-existing approaches to ‘priority QoS’.
The benefits of MPLS IP VPN networks are already being realized by many enterprises. In addition to maximizing performance while minimizing costs, MPLS VPNs offer the ability to prioritize applications such as VoIP by class of service (CoS), create and improve disaster recovery infrastructures, utilize a fully meshed infrastructure that replaces outdated hub and spoke architecture, and reduce complexity to simplify network management in an increasingly complex landscape.
When considering a migration to MPLS VPN, there are several key considerations that can significantly impact the process of planning, implementing and managing the network, as MPLS has some unique requirements and tasks associated with managing and administering the network. This white paper will explore some of those considerations and discuss how they can be addressed.

Each new device, application and user has unique requirements, and operators are being challenged to meet them all. The key challenge is therefore to build superior performing networks that can handle different types of usage and beat expectations in every situation. We call this Real Performance.
When talking about network performance in the past, the focus was on meeting the huge increase in mobile data traffic. But now Ericsson sees an even more important challenge to address – the diversity of user needs.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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).
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.

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.
