Cloud Computing and Intelligent Systems: Two Fields at a CrossroadsJeffrey Wallace
Many “big data” software systems are not interactive, automated, or run in a real-time mode. The true utility of cloud computing and “big data systems” can be increased by providing an execution framework and control software that is native to cloud architectures and supports interactivity and time synchronization. In addition, a framework to integrate different artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms is combined with the execution framework to create a powerful cloud computing system development platform.
This is a presentation I use to using get people to be aware of the potential of the semantic web. It has a section on how to promote semantic web standards. I do some strategic analysis of the Semantic Web stack today and apply concepts from technology marketing, economics and technology adoption.

Discussion: Dynamics of Cooperation and Competition
Being successful in today’s business environment requires more nuanced thinking than just stressing competition. Consider General Electric, which found that a highly effective way to improve its KPIs in the aircraft engine market was to actually partner with a competitor. It seems counter-intuitive, but it worked. When General Electric and Snecma created an alliance to build aircraft engines, General Electric shielded certain sections of the production process to protect against the excess transfer of technology (“Snecma, GE Renew CFM Agreement,” 2008).
Consider the dynamics of cooperation and competition in the future business environment. For organizations that are in an environment of increasing cooperation/competition, consider the proactive role the HR department can serve in helping the C-suite think about balancing competition and cooperation. As part of the Discussion, give specific examples.

Open Source Content Management Systems for Small and Medium Businesses, Chari...Will Hall
How can open source CMS's meet the particular challenges that running SME's, NGO's or charities involve? Whether you run a small business, non-governmental organisation or charity, the potential for spending hundreds of thousands of pound on software to assist with the running of your business is untenable, however, how far can open-source software (and particularly content management systems) enable your business to evolve, thrive and even surpass your expectations. In my presentation I intend to discuss; what your content is and how to use it to your advantage when running a complex operation with limited resources. The advantages and disadvantages of utilising open source software and how you can leverage the community to gain support and expertise. What the future for open source projects are and how you can ensure your business/organisation/charity can continue its work into Web 3.0

The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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!

2. Central ideas
Open Source and Content: When Does It Work?
Open Systems and Standards
Examples and Evidence
Geospatial Visualization
Hadoop/Map Reduce
Accumulo
MongoDB
Open Scene Graph
MakeHuman
Flight Gear
Opportunity
Implementation
Way Ahead
2
3. Open Source and Content
When Does It Work?
A community, organizations and individuals, decides to collectively
solve a problem
There has to be a viable economic model enabling the community
Many of the successful open source efforts evolve related
commercial variants or compliant components and tools
An organized approach has to evolve from the community
Requirements/Management
Configuration Management
Development
Testing
Release
Support
4. Open Systems and Standards
When Does It Work?
There must be an economically viable reason to open up
access to a system (Open Systems)
There must be an economically viable reason to comply
with a standard
The implementation must not be a high economic barrier to entry
(otherwise you have merely created a cartel)
And sustainability…
In most cases an organization must evolve and sustain
itself to:
Specify the interface or standard
Manage versioning and release of the specification
documentation
6. The benefits of cloud computing, advanced analytics, and big data
are all around us
At the foundation are infrastructure pieces that enable economic
ecosystems
Yahoo led the way by creating an open source approximation of
Google’s core infrastructure (Hadoop/MapReduce)
A commercial variant powers Walmart and American Express, among
others
Over 60% of the world’s websites are running the open source
Apache webserver
That is great, why does someone use something different?
What do they use?
The commercial versions have to comply with open syandards and
support certain open interfaces
Evidence – supporting facts for their advocacy
6
8. The opportunity has tremendous upside – improve the
product in a revolutionary way, lower the cost, and speed
delivery
The cost is likely just a reprogramming of existing
resources
Obviously this will not be easy, but it might also be obvious once
you look at it
The benefit would be to actually enable all the different
elements of the government that could use modeling and
simulation to do so in a way that optimizes scare resources
What is opportunity to the Enterprise – what is
the Cost/benefit?
8
9. In a public-private partnership way:
Get a list (by funding) of the top XX M&S users in government
and industry
Identifies the mass of economic ecosystem and gives you an idea of the
true size
Not all economic theories are valid at all sizes of ecosystems
Understand infrastructure requirements and areas where efforts
could collaborate
Understand where existing open source opportunities lie
Are there any government funded efforts that should convert to open
source? How would that work?
Anything that should be started as a new open source system with seed
funding?
Do Not Get Lost In Meetings Just Do It (Something)
How would you implement this?
9
10. The way ahead
M&SCO should host an industry day(maybe a day and a
half)
Identify the ecosystem as it exists
Engage the community about how to:
Define an M&S Enterprise
Describe the M&S infrastructure universe
Identify open source, systems, standards, and content opportunities going
forward
Coalesce a group of key government stakeholders to
mentor the process and support M&SCO
Create a new roadmap
Own the execution as part of stakeholder mission success
