Tools for developing and monitoring SQL in DB2 for z/OSSurekha Parekh
Building optimal applications against DB2 for z/OS is often difficult. As most of the real issues relate to maintenancence and changes in the surrounding parameters it’s necessary to define a methodology which enables performance monitoring as well as optimization in existing code.
By knowing more about how the SQL in your shop performs, a lot can be done to to anticipate future problems, such as identifying performance bottlenecks before they impact users and add to IT costs. By building a performance history table, where you monitor performance as time passes, and changes in the environment occur, it’s possible to be proactive, and optimize before the costs turns red.
Protection against Lost or Stolen Data with Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security...Novell
Laptops and mobile devices—carrying more business-critical data than ever before—are frequently the target of theft or accidental loss. And with a host of removable media devices connecting to networks every day, keeping your data safe has never been more important. In this session we'll discuss the capabilities Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management provides to do just that. You'll learn about the product's unique file and folder-based encryption (with advanced data encryption key management), removable storage device controls, USB device controls, and other features designed to protect data residing on lost or stolen devices.

This presentation takes a deep dive into the latest features of IBM WebSphere MQ and Message Broker to see how these new capabilities are changing the world. It examines how MQ and Message Broker can connect anything, anywhere and achieve universal connectivity with:
- Enhanced file and messaging capabilities of IBM WebSphere Message Broker 8.0 and WebSphere MQ 7.5, including the ability to handle many formats (i.e. XML, CSV, etc.)
- The ability of WebSphere MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) to connect through the web or through devices
- An extended reach of WebSphere MQ via the new HTTP and FTP bridges
- High Availability that makes the system more reliable than ever and allows WebSphere MQ clients to automatically reconnect

21st Century Service Oriented ArchitectureBob Rhubart
Service Oriented Architecture has evolved from concept to reality in the last decade. The right methodology coupled with mature SOA technologies has helped customers demonstrate success in both innovation and ROI. In this session you will learn how Oracle SOA Suite’s orchestration, virtualization, and governance capabilities provide the infrastructure to run mission critical business and system applications. And we’ll take a special look at the convergence of SOA & BPM using Oracle’s Unified technology stack.

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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
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.

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.

eSOA and the Product Control Room
Imagine all product related information to be easily accessible via a common
user interface: “a single sign-on entry to everything you need in your work –
whether related to business, functions or communications on your company,
your organization and country.”
Imagine the Product Control Room
► It leverages the One Philips Portal framework
► It is role-based
► It can be personalized
► It contains trusted consistent data and it turns product data into valuable
information by providing context
► It has a consistent look-and-feel
► It is Enterprise wide accessible
► It is functionally easily scalable through adding modules
► It is powered by CMC2.0

WHY MDM is needed in eSOA
• To have a single trusted information source within
your enterprise
• To prevent eSOA projects to crash, eSOA can make
it even worse...
• ....in other words for proper eSOA you need to have trusted „Information
as a service“ available based on a information virtualization layer across
the enterprise

8. MDM an enabler for eSOA
Lessons learned on MDM
• MDM is immature and a niche market space
► Robustness expected in 2011
► MDM resources are scarce
► Bleeding edge technology
• Need for complementary Tools / Services
• Think BIG, start small....may be start with vendors (spent analysis)
• 20% IT, 80% Business aspects
► Data governance model
► Data ownership/stewardship
• THE issue is Data Quality improvement
• Business processes are vital for MDM
• Define your ambition level (DC / DH / CDM)
• Launch MDM projects via the business, not IT!
• Define Business cases, also for MDM projects
• Company cultural change involved
