Software has several characteristics that distinguish it from other goods. These include, that it is not subject to any laws of nature, is easy to change, theoretically infinitely replicable and largely invisible. This culminates in a special kind of complexity that makes it difficult even for experienced software developers and architects to lead their projects to success. In this talk, we will therefore look deeper into the effects that the described characteristics have and how they affect any software system, be it the small mobile app or the enterprise cloud cluster.

AMIS Oracle OpenWorld & CodeOne Review - Pillar 2 - SaaS and Standard Applica...Lucas Jellema
SaaS is a crucial part of Oracle's portfolio. In SaaS - Oracle claims leadership in all horizontal business applications markets except in Sales / CRM where it acknowledges Salesforce as the leader. It has the broadest portfolio of any vendor and the largest marketshares. It is now seriously modernizing the applications - around themes such as machine learning & digital assistant, smart UI, blockchain and Internet of Things. For the first time, Oracle starts to wean customers away from Applications Unlimited (EBS, Peoplesoft, Siebel, JDEdwards) and towards Fusion Applications in the cloud. This presentation introduces the Soar offer to move and improve from on premises Apps to SaaS. It also discusses the innovations announced by Oracle in its major suites. As presented on November 5th 2018 at AMIS HQ, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands.
The annual review session by the AMIS team on their findings, interpretations and opinions regarding news, trends, announcements and roadmaps around Oracle's product portfolio.
Progress Software supplies application infrastructure software to simplify and accelerate the development, deployment, integration, and management of business applications. Users of information technology today demand software applications that are comprehensive, reliable, responsive, and cost-effective.
The Linux operating system accounts for 90% of all servers provisioned in the cloud, thus its security becomes of the utmost importance. Proactively securing Linux becomes especially critical in order to protect against expanding cybersecurity threats. However, most Linux patching is traditionally disruptive and requires planning and downtime.
Oracle Cloud offers a number of services to help manage operating system security at a large scale: OS Management Service (to monitor and manage patching), Oracle Ksplice (for non-disruptive patching), Oracle Autonomous Linux (self-managed Linux operating system), and the Vulnerability Scanning Service (to scan hosts and containers).
This presentation starts with general operating system security concepts, as well as a brief overview of CVEs and zero-day vulnerabilities, and walks through each of the Oracle Cloud operating system security offerings. Multiple live demos will be accompanied during the presentation.
Infrastructure-as-Code, or IaC, has gained momentum in the past several years with the explosion of cloud computing. IaC helps automate and manage infrastructure provisioning of your cloud resources. Even small infrastructure footprints can benefit from IaC. It can become difficult to manage and maintain hundreds, if not thousands, of individual configuration settings in your infrastructure. Enter Terraform, an open-source IaC software tool created in 2014.
This presentation walks through the fundamentals of Terraform, and where and how it can benefit you in your cloud infrastructure provisioning. A live demo will showcase the provisioning of an entire Oracle Cloud infrastructure from scratch, in a matter of minutes, including compartments, networking, compute, and database, for both a development and production environments.
APIs are one of the main elements of cloud services. All major cloud service providers expose REST APIs to allow you to programmatically access their services and capabilities. SOAP and REST are the two most common ways of exposing APIs, whether to external, partner, cloud, or internal developers.
The concept of API management is to publish these web APIs for consumption, and includes capabilities such as monitoring, security, and documentation.
This presentation introduces basic concepts of APIs, API management, cloud REST services, and a brief walkthrough of WSO2 API Manager and the Oracle API Gateway to see how you can centrally publish, expose, and secure APIs, essentially virtualizing your backend services.
Automating Cloud Operations: Everything You Wanted to Know about cURL and RESTRevelation Technologies
All cloud service providers support seamless cloud automation and management through a REST API architecture allowing for single tasks or complex multi-step orchestrations to be created. REST has become the de facto standard for these cloud interfaces because of its ease of us, communication over HTTP, and wide support of nearly all programming languages and operating systems.
Where do you start? How do you decipher the API documentation? Where do you authenticate? And how do you create cloud resources programmatically?
This presentation walks through the fundamentals of REST, how its invoked through cURL, as well as a live demonstration of the automated provisioning of Oracle Cloud services through cURL/REST.

Introducing the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Best Practices FrameworkRevelation Technologies
As AWS became a viable cloud service provider with wide adoption, Amazon introduced back in 2015 the "AWS Well-Architected Framework" which provides architectural best practices across five pillars. Similarly, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) introduced their own "OCI Best Practices Framework." This framework covers best practices for four "business goals" that include: security and compliance, reliability and resiliency, performance and cost optimization, and operational efficiency. Learning about and adopting these recommended best practices help you design and operate cloud topologies that deliver maximum business value.
These best practices are the result of years of experience with thousands of cloud customers creating architectures that are meant to be secure, highly performant, resilient, and efficient. While not overly complex this framework can be intimidating for those newly embarking on their cloud journey; this presentation introduces the framework, walks through the business goals, and highlights some of the elements and strategies to give you a stronger idea of how this framework can benefit you.

In January 2019, our team conducted and published results of performance tests against leading compute cloud providers that included Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Host, application server, and database performance were compared. Nothing alarming in the results were found; more powerful CPUs yielded better performance with the exception of Azure which generally underperformed. However, other non-performance related factors were found to affect the overall experience and cloud selection recommendations.
Now, 18 months later, we have ran the same series of tests against the same cloud service providers. In this presentation, we compare how each cloud provider has evolved in the past year and a half and share our findings and observations.

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.
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!

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.
