Architects play a critical role in designing robust interfaces and boundaries between sociotechnical systems. Well-designed interfaces allow for positive engagement between automated systems and organizations while eliminating unproductive separations. An interface, like a keyboard, provides an abstract structure that enables communication between different users and tools. Services can be used to decouple applications and technology through well-designed interfaces that balance the needs of both service providers and consumers.
Eight Pillars of an Enterprise Application ArchitectureLANSA
Many IT managers find themselves facing escalating enterprise demands for strategic software capabilities at a time when application platforms and other technologies are rapidly evolving and growing more complex. Managing the delivery of business applications is increasingly difficult
even in 'greenfield' situations where most applications are completely new. The job is even tougher in a typical IBM i (System i, iSeries, AS/400) installation where large amounts of legacy code must be modernised and integrated with new applications.

The business value of consumer analytics and big data is not just about what you can discover or infer about the consumer, but how you can use this insight promptly and effectively across multiple touchpoints (including e-Commerce systems and CRM) to create a powerful and truly personalized consumer experience.
For most organizations, mobilizing this kind of intelligence raises organizational challenges as well as technical ones.
This presentation reveals how some leading companies are starting to address these challenges, and describes the vital role of enterprise architecture in supporting such initiatives.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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. Motivation The architectural properties of a system of systems depends critically on how the systems are wired together. Architects have a critical role in designing robust, flexible and efficient boundaries and interfaces and working space between sociotechnical systems and organizations. Architects should help to eliminate negative and unproductive space between systems. On the other hand, architects should help to realise positive space between automated systems – space in which people and organizations can engage positively with business and social requirements.
3. What is an interface? Affordance Ability to play same tune using multiple instruments. Extensions Electrical instruments have an additional precondition (switched on) Exceptions Cheap instruments have limited response (one note at a time). Example: Keyboard An abstract structure enabling many different musicians to communicate with many different instruments. The output from the musician’s fingers becomes the input to the instrument.

Editor's Notes
A musical keyboard provides an interesting example of a standard interface. When I press a particular sequence of keys, I expect an instrument to respond with a particular sequence of notes. Many different instruments provide the same interface: pianos, harpsichords, organs and synthesizers. Some music software has a virtual implementation of the same interface: it provides a visual display of the same pattern of keys, but these keys are pressed with mouse clicks rather than directly with the fingers. But there are also important differences between the various implementations of this interface. Some instruments are powered by electricity. This means that a complete specification of the interface includes the precondition <instrument is switched on>. On a piano, the keys also control the volume and duration of the note. On an organ, the keys control the duration of the note but the volume is controlled elsewhere. On a harpsichord or a toy piano, you get the same short note however long you hold down the key. On some toy pianos, you only get one note at a time however many keys you press. Thus the piano interface satisfies one specification that is common to other keyboard instruments, but it also satisfies another specification that is unique to pianos. This simple example demonstrates that there is an important difference between the interface and the specification of the interface.
