Native out-of-memory errors happen when a Java application runs out of memory, not in the Java object heap but outside it. The cause may be memory use for native libraries, class loading, multithreading, working data for the Java VM, backing storage for Java objects, or other reasons. No single tool can give you all the answers, and we need to cross-reference information from multiple sources to isolate a problem. Operating system tools, Java dumps, logs, and debuggers all provide useful perspectives, and your challenge is to line them up to see the whole picture. This session works through the tools and data available on the main server platforms to give you a repeatable framework for native out-of-memory error debug.
JavaOne BOF 5957 Lightning Fast Access to Big DataBrian Martin
Traditionally data is placed in storage and then, when needed, accessed and acted upon in memory. This results in a natural bottleneck that degrades performance. Today, with in-memory computing, we can take advantage of a better understanding of how data is shaped and stored. In this session, you will learn how in-memory data grids mark an inflection point for enterprise applications, especially in dealing with big data. The session covers how large data sets can be made available and can be accessed nearly instantaneously.

Overcoming Scaling Challenges in MongoDB Deployments with SSDMongoDB
Horizontal scaling of databases can increase performance and capacity, but adding nodes also increases infrastructure and management complexities. Cluster management can challenge even the most seasoned IT professional. While vertical scaling is easier to implement, it has traditionally been limited by memory and disk throughput. As both SSD latency and price continue to improve, the MongoDB database scaling equation changes. This session will review a number of SSD technologies that Intel employs (SATA, NVMe) and their impacts on I/O performance and database scaling. We will look at various architectural options for optimizing I/O based on our discussions with real world users. We will also provide attendees a glimpse at our future plans in terms of technologies in the storage area.
This session discusses how to maximize the performance of an application deployment with tools that are native to the server platform, as well as cross-platform Java analysis and monitoring tools include IBM Health Center and IBM Service Engage. The session begins with systematic steps organizations can take to locate a performance problem in a complex system and moves on to analysis they can do to understand the root cause of the problem. The picture is completed by consideration of the tools and techniques available to monitor application performance in normal operation so that organizations can catch performance issues before they build up into serious problems.

JavaOne2013: Implement a High Level Parallel API - Richard NingChris Bailey
This session discusses how to implement a high-level parallel API (such as parallel_for, parallel_while, or parallel_scan) and math calculation based on a thread pool and task in OpenJDK that aligns with the development of multicores and parallel computing. At present, programmers have to use a schedule strategy statically in code instead of choosing it dynamically based on the core number and load balance on the computer with the current Java concurrent package. In the design presented in the session, the function parallel_for(array, task) is a high-level API that can divide the task range dynamically, based on the condition of and load on different computers.

JavaOne 2015: From Java Code to Machine CodeChris Bailey
When you write and run Java code, it is first compiled by javac to bytecode and then converted to optimized machine code by the just-in-time (JIT) compiler. Although JIT compilers are advanced and are able to create highly optimized code, the level of optimization achievable is ultimately limited by how the original Java code was written. This presentation introduces the compilation and optimization process and uses applications to show how following several simple rules when writing your Java code can lead to highly optimizable, and therefore highly performant, applications.
Presented at JavaOne 2015

Detailed Description:
Large enterprises of a thousand persons or more often have distinctly distinct data security architectures than lesser businesses. Typically they treat their data security as if they were still little companies.
This paper endeavors to demonstrate that not only do large businesses have an entire ecology of focused programs, specific to large businesses and their needs, but that this software has distinct security implications than buyer or small enterprise software. identifying these dissimilarities, and analyzing the way this can be taken advantage of by an attacker, is the key to both striking and keeping safe a large enterprise.
The Web applications are the important part of your business every day, they help you handle your intellectual property, increase your sales, and keep the trust of your customers. But there's the problem that applications re fast becoming the preferred attack vector of hackers. For this you really need something that makes your application secure.
And, with the persistent condition of today's attacks, applications can easily be get infected when security is not considered and scoped into each phase of the software development life cycle, from design to development to testing and ongoing maintenance of the application. When you take a holistic approach to your application security, you actually enhance your ability to produce and manage stable, secure applications. Applications need training and testing from the leading team of ethical hackers, for this there should be an authentic plan to recover these issues that can help an organization to plan, test, build and run applications smartly and safely.
Large enterprises of a thousand people or even more have distinctly different information security architectures than many other smaller companies. Actually, they treat their information security as if they were still small companies.
We are going to discuss some attempts to demonstrate that not only do large companies have an entire ecology of specialized software, specific to large companies and their needs, but that this software has different security implications than consumer or small business software for the applications. Recognizing these differences, and examining the way this can be taken advantage of by an attacker, is the key to both attacking and defending a large enterprise. It’s really important to cover up the security procedures in the large enterprise.

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and serverless platforms increase productivity by enabling you to focus on application code, with the platform taking care of how to deploy, configure, run and scale the code. They do however require you to adopt a new programming model, writing simple JavaScript functions or actions instead of using the expressive APIs that are available from Express.js, Hapi.js, Fastify, and other frameworks.
In this session, you’ll learn how it's now possible to create FaaS and serverless based applications using the same framework APIs that you use today, and see a live demo of an application being built and deployed as a serverless cloud native application on Kubernetes.
Voxxed Micro-services: Serverless JakartaEE - JAX-RS comes to FaaSChris Bailey
Function-as-a-service (FaaS) and serverless platforms increase productivity, enabling you to focus on application code, with the platform taking care of how to deploy, configure, run, and scale the code. They do however require you to adopt a new programming model, creating generic handlers or actions that lack the expressive APIs that you get from frameworks and standards such as Jakarta EE. In this session, you’ll learn how it’s now possible to create FaaS- and serverless-based applications using the same APIs you use today such as JAX-RS and you’ll see a live demo of an application being built and deployed as a cloud native application on Kubernetes using a combination of open source tools and Knative serving.
Silicon Valley Code Camp 2019 - Reaching the Cloud Native WorldChris Bailey
The move to microservices enables developers to rapidly create and innovate by giving them autonomy to build and deploy applications using the languages, frameworks and technologies that they choose. However, such move requires a cost. Developers require a deeper set of skills to create apps that integrate fully with cloud-native capabilities. The additional complexity is one of the main reasons why most “cloud applications” are co-hosted. Only 38% of cloud developers are leveraging cloud services, and just 12% are building cloud-native applications. These statistics indicate that the majority of applications do not fully leverage and integrate with the additional capabilities that the platform provides. This session will introduce you how to modernize existing and build new cloud-native applications, and show how to utilize open source tools to rapidly develop and build new cloud-native applications with best practises built-in.

Presented at Oracle Code One, Sept 16th 2019
The Kitura Server-side Swift framework has built support for Swagger and OpenAPI directly into its framework so that it auto-generates its own OpenAPI specification. This presentation show's how that enables Kitura to be used in the much wider OpenAPI ecosystem.
The fundamental performance characteristics of Node.js make it ideal for building highly performant microservices for a number of workloads. Translating that into highly responsive, scalable solutions however is still far from easy. This session will not just discuss why Node.js is a natural fit for microservices, but will introduce you to the tools and best practices for creating, building, deploying, monitoring and tracing microservices that are both scalable and fault tolerant, and show through a live demo how do that with minimal effort.

There are an emerging set of architectures that are designed to optimise how front-end applications access back-end services, the most popular of which are the Backend-For-Frontend (BFF) pattern and the use of GraphQL. The BFF pattern takes the approach that the backend should be bespoke to the front-end it serves, optimised for that front-end, and ideally owned by the front-end team. GraphQL however sits at the other end of the spectrum: providing an optimised but utility backend for all frontends that is agnostic of the clients it serves. Give the two very different approaches, which is the right approach to take? This sessions will introduce the two approaches, highlight their advantages and disadvantages, and help you determine which you should be looking to adopt as the backend technology for your frontend applications.

Try!Swift India 2017: All you need is SwiftChris Bailey
In September last year Swift 3 was released, added official support for Swift on Linux for the first time. This provided the scope for Swift to be used for both front-end and back-end development, allowing iOS developers to gain the benefits of full-stack development that Web developers have enjoyed for some time. In just twelve months, this has moved from promise to reality, with full-stack Swift applications not just being possible but being developed and deployed by some of the largest companies in the world.
In this session Chris and AB will introduce you to full-stack Swift development, show you how easy it is to get started, and talk about how the IBM MobileFirst for iOS Garage are building full-stack Swift applications their customers.

Node Interactive: Node.js Performance and Highly Scalable Micro-ServicesChris Bailey
The fundamental performance characteristics of Node.js, along with the improvements driven through the community benchmarking workgroup, makes Node.js ideal for highly performing micro-service workloads. Translating that into highly responsive, scalable solutions however is still far from easy. This session will discuss why Node.js is right for micro-services, introduce the best practices for building scalable deployments, and show you how to monitor and profile your applications to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
For just over a year, Swift has been available as a formal release on Linux and frameworks like Kitura and Vapor have made it possible to build mobile backends and web applications on the server. Running Server Swift is however not your own option for becoming a fullstack engineer and building backends in Swift. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM and others are all also providing the ability to run Serverless (aka Lambdas or Functions), with some of those supporting the use of Swift.
This session will introduce you to Serverless Swift, highlight how it compares to Server Swift and show you some applications that have been built with Server(less) Swift.
AltConf 2017: Full Stack Swift in 30 MinutesChris Bailey
The introduction of Swift on the server gave the promise of being able to easily build, deliver and own the whole user experience and the solution, not just the iOS app. Building a backend however introduces many new technologies and terms, from server, cloud and Swagger definitions, to Docker and Kubernetes. This session will show you how easy it can be, demonstrating how to build a Swift Server application and connect to it from an iOS app in under 30 minutes.
InterConnect: Server Side Swift for Java DevelopersChris Bailey
The range of languages and frameworks that are available for building server applications has exploded over the last few years, with the most recent of these being the Swift programming language, which IBM has been backing along with the Kitura application framework. But does this mean that Swift is the future and you should stop developing Java server applications? This session will give you an introduction to where and when you might use Kitura, and take you through the experiences of a long-time Java EE developer building their first Angular.js based Kitura application, and how that compares to building the same application with IBM WebSphere Liberty.
InterConnect: Java, Node.js and Swift - Which, Why and WhenChris Bailey
Java, Node.js, and Swift are three of the most popular and effective programming languages in use today. When presented with an opportunity to choose, it may not be clear which language is best suited for the job. This session will provide a tour of these languages and the use cases for which each is best suited.
Over the last 12 months Swift has gone from an emerging language on the server, to a real one. The ability to run Swift on both Mobile and Server, works ideally in the Backend for Frontend "BFF") pattern.

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.
