A Model-Driven Approach to Support Cloud Migration Process- A Language Infras...Mahdi_Fahmideh
Adoption of cloud computing as a new outsourcing strategy has grown rapidly among IT-based organisations in recent years. Research around migrating legacy systems to cloud environments is proliferated with a variety of approaches that often narrow down in technical details. However, an overarching and integrated view of cloud migration process does not exist in the current literature. As an at-tempt to ameliorate this shortcoming, this research applies a metamodeling approach and develops a generic cloud migration process model derived from the extant cloud migration literature. The proposed metamodel is not dependent or restricted to any specific cloud platform; rather it is an abstraction of phases, activities, tasks, and work-products that are incorporated in a typical migration process. It underpins a high-level and conceptual view of cloud migration process and acts as a reusable knowledge repository to design situation-specific migration process models for a given migration scenario at hand.
Application Managed Services is becoming a complex umbrella of services – everything related to your application IT landscape is included in a vendor’s service catalog. Yet, we have seen that most clients are dissatisfied with their vendors as they are failing to deliver upon the promise of their Application Managed Services contract.
Are you among those clients who have signed up with a Managed Services vendor and are falling short of the requirements from your business team or from your CIO’s objectives?
Application Managed services, as the name suggests, should encompass an end-to-end service that is provided to your organization, where the goals of both the vendor and the client are aligned, and where there is a joint effort to fill in the gaps that are left undefined in the contract.
Every Managed Service contract is entered with the objectives of lowering the total cost of ownership while improving the quality of the services. However, how this benefit is accrued by your business is left unaddressed in most contracts.
The key questions addressed by this presentation include:
• How can Managed Services Engagement drive Transformation?
• How can automation be applied effectively in order to meet business objectives, not just technology goals?
• How a well-structured approach to defining a Managed Services contract can benefit your business over the long term?
• How effective Governance of a Managed Services contract is as important as defining the contract itself?
If you have been working on defining a managed services contract or facing any of the challenges listed above, do attend our webinar to understand more about Managed Services engagement as well as the frameworks and tools that are used to simplify the journey for your organization.

Igniting Application Testing with AI + Automation IBM
Description:
Testing applications is an arduous and time-consuming process. Hear from IBM's client about how they are applying automation combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to develop and test applications—speeding up time to market and providing the agility to respond better to competitive threats. Using automation and AI can improve complex testing requirements by minimizing, and then automating, laborious testing processes. It can provide 45% faster cycles and reduce the number of tests up to 60% while providing 100% coverage of testing requirements. So you get faster testing, and up to 40% fewer defects.

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.

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).
