This document provides an overview of SAP software, including the ERP package R/3 and its business modules. It describes the typical client/server architecture used with SAP systems, including 2-tier and 3-tier configurations, and how SAP applications can be enabled for the web. Key aspects of the R/3 database are outlined, such as what data it contains and the role of clients. Common client roles like development, quality assurance, and production are also summarized.
The document discusses how APIs are displacing SOA as the preferred approach for integrating systems and exposing services. APIs enable rapid iteration, programmability from any device, loose contracts, and a focus on minimal functionality compared to traditional SOA which emphasized strict contracts, basic connectivity, and slow networks. APIs also address the rise of smartphones and thousands of external developers, focusing on HTTP, OAuth, JSON, developer onboarding, and analytics rather than traditional WS-Security and XML of SOA. APIs provide a new design metaphor and facade for existing SOA and ESB infrastructure to embrace external developers and rapid change.
Level 0 outsourcing does not qualify as SaaS as the application cannot be leveraged for multiple customers. Level 1 targets midsize companies allowing customization but each client has a dedicated server. Level 2 cuts operating costs through sophisticated management software but software remains the same. Level 3 is single-app SaaS restricting customization to configuration and focusing on SMBs, like Salesforce.com's initial CRM application. Level 4 provides applications for an entire business domain through a platform for additions and custom extensions, satisfying large enterprises. Level 5 is a vision for dynamic business apps-as-a-service providing comprehensive applications and integration platforms on demand.

Instant Agility in Oracle Fusion Middleware through Design Time @ Run Time (O...Lucas Jellema
Agility is about ability to adapt. Enterprises need to quickly respond to changing circumstances and requirements. Agility is a state of mind (“embrace change”) that must be supported by process and technology. This session will demonstrate how Fusion Middleware provides a substantial dose of instant agility through its design time @ run time facilities. Application Management evolves into Application Composition as BPM and SOA Suite applications allow run time editing of business logic, human tasks and process definitions.

GlobalLogic Java Community Webinar #18 “How to Improve Web Application Perfor...GlobalLogic Ukraine
Під час доповіді відповімо на питання, навіщо потрібно підвищувати продуктивність аплікації і які є найефективніші способи для цього. А також поговоримо про те, що таке кеш, які його види бувають та, основне — як знайти performance bottleneck?

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE VisionDianaGray10
In the first session, we will review the organization's vision and how this has an impact on the COE Structure.
Topics covered:
• The role of a steering committee
• How do the organization’s priorities determine CoE Structure?
Speaker:
Chris Bolin, Senior Intelligent Automation Architect Anika Systems
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation F...AlexanderRichford
QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Editor's Notes
SAP R/3 Technical Configuration An SAP R/3 System can consist of one or more instances (e.g. a central instance or a distributed SAP R/3 System). Multiple instances are represented by the configuration of a database server and one or more application servers. Only one database and dictionary will exist for an SAP R/3 System. Note: with R/4, you can have multiple database instances. To isolate each distinct phase of an implementation, a typical or recommended configuration for an SAP R/3 System implementation will consist of three separate systems: Development: for configuration of SAP applications with user specific data and user development. Quality Assurance Testing: to isolate development from final testing and user training for production. Production: of live business transactions and company data.
