Women who break through into senior leadership positions get there by mastering the art of influence. Explore ways to gain a voice and a seat at the table in your company. Understand the mechanisms of power and influence within your organization and identify six sources of influence you may not be fully utilizing. This presentation explores ways to gain buy-in for ideas, enhance your credibility, and make a larger impact in business.
Are your senior leaders leading the charge to realizing a bottom-line payoff from diversity and inclusion? We are all aware of the need for top management “buy-in” for D&I. But turning head nods into consistent, visible and impactful actions by senior leaders is often a much greater challenge. This session will explore the missing links between verbal endorsement and active role modeling and ownership for D&I accountability. It will present ways to increase the likelihood that senior managers will make inclusive, culturally competent behaviors part of their leadership style and a “diversity lens” part of their business decision-making. We’ll suggest approaches to increase hands-on participation in strategy development, in-depth dialogue with diverse constituencies and expectation setting for their own subordinates. Potential measures of progress for this aspect of D&I change will also be discussed.
What Participants Will Learn:
What senior leader behaviors have the greatest impact on D&I progress.
How to more fully engage leaders in creating and implementing D&I strategy and in role modeling of inclusive behaviors.
What cultural competence is and why it’s important for leaders.
Approaches to measuring progress in increasing top management’s D&I leadership.

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?

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
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.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

ment for PLM and new product development initiatives. Leadership Practice for Kalypso
To understand some of the challenges around executive leadership with
large-scale PLM initiatives, PTC’s Rob Leavitt asked Ridley about lessons
learned from her work on PLM programs with a wide range of consumer
goods, finance, and technology firms. Here’s what she had to say:
Leavitt: The importance of executive sponsorship for PLM
is hardly a new or ignored topic. Why is it still so difficult
for companies to get this right?
Ridley: Everyone knows that executive sponsorship is important. But
simple sponsorship is not enough to ensure a successful program with
real business impact. The real challenge is having executive advocates
that are passionate about the initiative being successful, that constantly
share their vision, and that make it important to their direct reports. It’s
actually rare to have this kind of executive advocacy.
More often I see executives that approve the budget and think the
program is a good idea, but they also think it is someone else’s responsi-
bility to make it happen. They delegate their advocacy to someone lower
level and it doesn’t work. Or they don’t deal with resistance from peers or
others in upper management. And they don’t hold people accountable
for actually delivering against interim milestones.
