Data to Consumer : end to end middleware capabilitiesAsanka Abeysinghe
Consumer-driven and rapidly changing business requirements are creating the need to go beyond traditional middleware in enterprises today. Because the middleware layer has enough functional capabilities it empowers architects to convert their blueprints to solutions without changing the architecture to fit into the middleware limitations.
Asanka will first look at the evolution of middleware and how current and next-generation middleware looks like (Platform-3.0). Following this, he will analyze the middleware requirements from data (system of record) to consumer (system of engagement) by illustrating a layered architecture of modern enterprise middleware.
Community Platform: Choosing the Right One Satya S
How will you go about selecting the best platform out there in the market? Are you selecting a product that has features which can really be utilized? Do you really require the host of features offered by the social networking tools? Get answers to all these questions and much more.
we have done a small analysis about why should we use or select Liferay for our legacy application replacement in comparison with other opensource framework like sharepoint , Joomla , Drupal etc . Please have alook into the attached PPT for the same.
.NET for Enterprise Apps - Pros and Cons.pdfJamesEddie2
.NET is a popular framework for building enterprise applications, but is it the right choice for your business? Explore the pros and cons of using .NET for enterprise apps, including its scalability, security, and development flexibility. Learn how to make an informed decision for your organization's software needs.
Buddy, partnered with industry leaders such as Amazon, Docker, Github, Microsoft, and Google, is a winning development automation platform that serves a rapidly growing market valued to become $345 billion by 2022. Over 7,000 developers use Buddy every day across 120+ countries. Featured customers: INC. Magazine, CGI.com & ING Bank. Our vision is to become the backbone on which talented people can build world-altering apps & services. Our goal is to take the load off millions of developers by offloading everything that can be automated – giving them back the time for being creative.
Open Source project failure often stems from not setting clear objectives or having a shared vision from the start. That said there are many success stories, including two well known Statistical examples: Demetra; and Eurostat SDMX tools (SDMX-RI). However, in all these examples there was at first a founding organisation/entity that created the right environment for its successful path into a new paradigm. In the context of my presentation this being the Statistical Information System Collaboration Community (SIS-CC / http://siscc.oecd.org).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

What is a technology platform?
General definition:
Technology platform is a term for technology that enables the creation of
products and processes that support present or future development.
Source: Wikipedia®
Definition related to computing platforms:
Platform is an underlying computer system on which application
programs can run.
Source: TechTarget
Definition related to digital publishing:
A set of tools that faciliates to create and provide a reliable, affordable and
easy to use way to develop, maintain and grow your web presence.
5. Decision criteria – preliminary questions:
What is your current situation of your online
operations?
How you're going to deploy the site?
Do you have competence to decide on technology,
platform, framework, etc?
Do you have the right people?
Always consider how easy it’ll be to move to another platform
(or another vendor) once you outgrow your first one.

9
Outsourced development and deployment
10. Decision criteria: Business considerations
Proprietary software
- means the company that developed
the software owns the software and
no one may duplicate it or distribute it
without that company's permission
Developed by closed group/
company
Sold to clients – many different
ways of licensing
May not distribute, copy or
modify
No access to source code
15 – 20% maintenance fee to
access patches, support
Open source software
- is free to use and provides the
original source code used to
create it, so anyone can modify
according to needs.
Developed by group of geographically
distributed developers, mostly for no
pay
Can be copied, modified, redistributed,
incorporated in other OSS apps freely
Some vendors charge for distributing it
(like Redhat Linux)
Use of open standards allows broader
interoperability
No vendor lock-in – can swap out OSS
with greater ease
Platform independence
10
Which one better fits your needs?
11. Decision criteria: Open Source Pros & Cons?
PROS
A ready made community
Community driven =
community serving
No licence costs
No vendor lock in
Infinitely customizable
Investment is typically in
training staff rather than a third
party - staff development!
CONS
Fear of no-one to blame
No vendor guarantees
Project folding is more
common than vendor folding
Open source may be
incompatible with other
deployed software
Proprietary software is often
more feature rich
Documentation quality is
variable
11
12. Decision criteria: Product evalution
1. Does your company have a technology
preference? (.NET, Java, PHP, Python, ...)
2. Do you care if the solution will be purchased via
a commercial license or via an open source
license model? (commercial, commercial/community open
source)
3. Do you care if the solution will be installed on
your enterprise servers or provided as a hosted
service? (On-premise or SaaS delivery models)
