Is Citrix Cloud Enterprise Ready? Best Practices to Get the Most Out of Citri...eG Innovations
Citrix Cloud is a new offering from Citrix that enables you to deliver Virtual Apps and Desktops as a service. Citrix Cloud uses a hybrid model: while the control plane of your Citrix site resides in the cloud, you can have the resource plane either on-premises or in the cloud.
Because the Citrix Delivery Controller, StoreFront, Gateway, and SQL database are all hosted and managed by Citrix, Citrix Cloud eases deployment and maintenance for administrators. Citrix administration teams would continue to run their Citrix Virtual Apps servers and Citrix Virtual Desktops VMs from their on-premises infrastructure.
With a heavy push from Citrix towards upgrading customers to Citrix Cloud, a question that every organization has is “Is Citrix Cloud Enterprise ready? Should we move to the cloud?”
Check out this presentation and understand:
• The basics of Citrix Cloud: architecture, features and benefits
• What’s new in the latest release of Citrix Cloud
• Is Citrix Cloud enterprise ready?
• Key considerations for deploying Citrix Cloud
• Monitoring best practices for performance assurance
The latest versions of OBIEE have been released for on-premise implementation, through SaaS via Oracle BI Cloud Service, and on the desktop with Data Visualization. This session gives OBIEE Architects and Developers exposure and direction on where to best spend their time on investigating new features and enhancements with the newest releases, and how they may apply those to their real-world business use cases. Participants will get a heads-up on upgrades, migrations, regression testing, new features, and lifecycle management. At the end of this session, attendees will have a fresh set of insights on new features for OBIEE developers that they can immediately take advantage of through new releases of OBIEE.
Should I move my database to the cloud?James Serra
So you have been running on-prem SQL Server for a while now. Maybe you have taken the step to move it from bare metal to a VM, and have seen some nice benefits. Ready to see a TON more benefits? If you said “YES!”, then this is the session for you as I will go over the many benefits gained by moving your on-prem SQL Server to an Azure VM (IaaS). Then I will really blow your mind by showing you even more benefits by moving to Azure SQL Database (PaaS/DBaaS). And for those of you with a large data warehouse, I also got you covered with Azure SQL Data Warehouse. Along the way I will talk about the many hybrid approaches so you can take a gradual approve to moving to the cloud. If you are interested in cost savings, additional features, ease of use, quick scaling, improved reliability and ending the days of upgrading hardware, this is the session for you!

AWS re:Invent 2016: Deploying Amazon WorkSpaces at Enterprise Scale to Delive...Amazon Web Services
Your enterprise has decided it is exiting the traditional desktop business and migrating to Amazon WorkSpaces. Your challenge: how do you provide end users a high quality experience using DaaS while integrating key enterprise services? Focusing on user adoption and simplified operational management DaaS offers significant benefits over traditional physical desktops and VDI solutions. These benefits include hourly consumption pricing, sizing flexibility, linear scalability, and simplified management.
We will dive into the methodology and design decisions that Informa, a global leader in business intelligence and part of the Information Economy, made to migrate to Amazon WorkSpaces. The goal of this strategy for Informa was to provide their end users with a Windows 10 desktop that could scale across three AWS regions.
Following this session you will be equipped with a methodology for migrating to Amazon WorkSpaces and key design decision points that will assist your organization in rolling out this service for your end users. Best practices will be presented and there will be discussion on the capabilities required to build an enterprise-scale solution around WorkSpaces. All of this will include the fundamental value proposition AWS has brought to market with their industry-leading DaaS offering. Session sponsored by AHEAD.

New Approaches to Integrating Oracle and Postgres Database StrategiesEDB
Given today’s challenging economic environment, managing the costs of your Oracle databases is more important than ever. Open source alternatives like Postgres are a real option but the migration process is not always as simple as “rip and replace”. For many, it is a question of how to integrate the two databases.
This webinar will explore:
- The realities of Oracle and Postgres coexistence
- The migration continuum - identifying the best workloads for Postgres
- Strategies for integrating Oracle and Postgres databases
The move from Oracle database to Postgres is often not an "either/or" decision. Join us to understand how these two databases can peacefully coexist while reducing costs and managing risk.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
