Game of Phones - Becoming the Architects of Connection (Midwest Dreamin' Clos...Peter Coffee
Over a span of 30-something years, the CPU speed of a mainstream personal computer has grown by less than a factor of one thousand -- while the connectivity bandwidth that people expect (in workplace, home, and even in mobile activities) has grown 200 times that much. If we called them "(inter)personal connectors," we might be capturing more correctly the role of the "PC" and its descendants in our lives -- but in most organizations, we still treat IT more as a discipline of automation and calculation and archival than as a medium of connection and collaboration. Peter Coffee shares current research and a global perspective on what it means for the Salesforce community to take the lead in repurposing and reculturing the modern era's defining technology.
Unleash innovation on the Customer Success PlatformPeter Coffee
It's not about being just an "implementation partner." What the customer wants is a transformation advisor. On an enterprise cloud platform, the tech is part of the service -- which makes more time for more interesting things.

The Rising Floor of Platform - MIT Platform Summit 2014Peter Coffee
If someone thinks that they can create differentiating value by starting at the level of what you sell, at a cost that enables them to sell the result, then you are - to them - a platform. Too much lower, you're plumbing. Above that level, you're a competitor or an irrelevant product. What should a platform provide today, as 24x7 connected people want trustworthy access to data and command of useful function?
Connected things are quickly expanding, beyond their traditional scope of industrial plumbing and their recent emergence as lifestyle novelty, to become a global and everyday norm. After the revolution comes the need for sustainable operation: what's involved in assuring that today's Internet of Factories, Internet of Transactions, and emerging Internet of Personal Devices can scale to the demands of billions of people and tens of billions of everythings? Peter Coffee, VP for Strategic Research at salesforce.com inc., examines the challenges and highlights the opportunities for robust and responsible leadership in the world that's taking shape today.
Security is too often discussed in terms of what it prevents rather than what it assures. Too much trust in narrowly focused technology, combined with too much fear of the unknown in areas like adoption of the cloud, combine to make many enterprise and other IT systems unnecessarily expensive and inadequately trustworthy.
It's About The Citizen - Changing Needs and Rising ExpectationsPeter Coffee
Presented as keynote to GTEC 2014 in Ottawa, 28 October 2014 by Peter Coffee of Salesforce
A “cloud computing” conversation used to be a plan to cut IT costs and accelerate project schedules. Today, it’s becoming a citizen-driven discussion of improving the visibility, availability and accountability of every institution of modern life — in a world where people have a whole new level of power to discover, share, and collaborate in identifying and confronting challenges as well as pursuing new opportunities. Not merely the execution, but even the basic mission, of government and other organs of society is in the crosshairs. Peter Coffee brings salesforce.com’s global perspective, as thrice-named “World’s Most Innovative Company” (Forbes), to share with theGTEC community and to offer opportunities for action.

Electrical power – it surrounds us wherever we go. In our homes, we have a seemingly endless supply
of electricity. Every electrical outlet represents another dynamic source of energy to power our many devices. A new air conditioner – plug it in. A new TV – plug it in. A new microwave oven – plug it in.
Moreover, we are constantly on a quest for more – an Xbox here, a surround sound system there. Of
course, there are limits to the amount of electricity that you can put on any one circuit in your home before
the circuit breaker trips and everything on that circuit stops. That is why we have multiple circuits; it
enables us to plug in even more devices until we reach the limit of energy being supplied to us. Unfortunately,
we do not have a dedicated power source for our homes; it is more like a 1940’s telephone party
line: we must share it with all of our neighbors.

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!

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

2. ICT Wattage: the Globe-Warming Numbers
• Global information/communication technology (ICT) “uses
1,500 terawatt-hours of power per year. That’s about 10% of
the world’s total electricity generation or roughly the
combined power production of Germany and Japan.”
- science.time.com/2013/08/14/power-drain-the-digital-cloud-is-using-more-energy-than-you-think
• “Data centers can waste 90% or more of the electricity they
pull off the grid… they further rely on banks of generators…
In Silicon Valley, many data centers appear on the state
government’s Toxic Air Contaminant Inventory, a roster of
the area’s top stationary diesel polluters.”

3. Measuring the Wrong Thing…Precisely
• “Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is a measure of how
efficiently a computer data center uses energy;
specifically, how much energy is used by the computing
equipment (in contrast to cooling and other overhead).”
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_usage_effectiveness
• PUE is easy to determine, but is absolutely the wrong
way to define ICT ‘greenness’
• Treats every watt-hour burned by computers as equal-value
• Ignores utter redundancy of running multiple, identical instances
of operating system; database engine; & other foundationware
4. Peter Drucker (as usual) Nails It:
• “There is nothing so
useless as doing
efficiently that which
should not be done at all.”
• “Efficiency is doing the
thing right. Effectiveness
is doing the right thing.”
• “What's measured, improves”
- www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/12008.Peter_F_Drucker
5. So, What Should We Do? And Measure?
• Putting thousands of software
stacks in one big place, and
calling it a cloud, is like putting
wings on the QE2 and calling it an A380
• Don’t preserve complexity, and compound with more
complexity, to minimize adaptation to new environment
• Massive economies arise from massive scale:
Not this…
but this:

• Each app has its own dedicated software stack
• Each stack needs duplicative maintenance
• Every app and its stack are individual
opportunities for error or misconfiguration
• Pace of innovation is slowed by need for
cumbersome regression test / re-implementation
• Applications share an “instance” of the platform
• Platform updates apply to all at once
• Massive economies of talent,
