HfS Webinar Slides: How Cognitive Systems like ignio™ Simplify Batch Jobs Man...HfS Research
Batch jobs are the lifeblood for thousands of businesses—many of which run millions of batch jobs every year. Unfortunately, managing these high volumes of batch jobs has become a huge nightmare: numerous errors require a large amount of resources to validate and isolate the problems. Even then, batch jobs still run into unexpected outages, while Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations threaten the proper operation of the business.
This webinar demonstrates how ignio™, the world’s leading cognitive system, has been helping customers tackle this complex problem. We share real world examples on how ignio™ is implemented and highlight the lessons learned from these implementations.
Attend and learn:
Why batch job management issues are affecting business operations
How Cognitive systems like ignio™ solve the complex issues of batch jobs management

Optimizing operations through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and machine learning present significant promise for global enterprises, particularly as they look to unlock value from decades-old operating models and relationships (BPO and/or shared services) for success in the Digital future.
However, success stories of automation at scale (at least those publicly reported) are limited; while the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance industries seem to be leading the way, many organizations are grappling with how to get an effective strategy and operating model in place. They struggle with myriad tool choices and struggle to understand robotic vs. machine learning vs. cognitive approaches to automation.
Experts from HfS Research, Hexaware, and HSBC will discuss the results from a global study of the state of practice in automation conducted across several enterprises in varying stages of automation adoption.

The document introduces Industrial Data Space, which aims to establish a standardized and secure system for companies to exchange data. It allows companies to retain control over their data while enabling new business models. The initiative was established by German business, politics, and research. It involves developing a reference architecture and certifying software solutions through pilot use cases. The Industrial Data Space Association oversees standardization and represents member interests. It works to define governance, identify requirements, and support adoption of the system internationally.
Foresighting the Future to Create Actionable InnovationShaun West
This presentation project is focused on foresight or longer-term radical innovation based on a planning model of three horizons, highly actionable. The presentation describes a model initially developed by the principal researchers at Stanford University for long-term innovation. The model has been proven to work with European firms (e.g., Airbus, Syngenta, Volvo); however, it requires further changes to adapt it to Switzerland. The dominant model addresses three innovation horizons, whereas we want to extend it to four horizons.
The presentation described some reflections on further refinements in the process, including adding Horizon 4, which we think should lead to a self-help “foresight cookbook”.
This will be achieved by describing the approaches through an action research approach that will allow for reflection from multiple workshops with both firms and mixed student groups (with up to 200 international students).
The work presented will describe three key results of the study: • an actionable foresight innovation process;
some of the radical innovations that have come out of the processes;
• clarify how this can help firms be more innovative in a changing environment.
The weakness within the firms of the approach has been associated with the “innovation readiness and capacity” of the firm. The researchers consider that this needs to be measured so that innovation can be more readily accepted. To do this they present an innovation readiness check (based on a survey methodology) to help measure this key success factor.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
