10 Reasons Why Smart Organizations are Moving to Cloud BIGoodData
Business intelligence should make your life easier, but it can often be overwhelming and difficult to use. There are a plethora of tools to choose from and more "best practices" every day.

The Enterprise Adoption of Cloud Technology - Infographic by RapidValueRapidValue
This is an Infographic on the current enterprise adoption of cloud technology. It talks about the benefits of moving to cloud and what is more preferred between the three types of cloud computing IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. The Infographic also includes predictions about future spending on cloud and what would be a better cloud strategy along with the industries that would benefit from cloud adoption the most.
Cloud Computing is profoundly changing the way that businesses consume and deliver IT services. And while large enterprises generally recognize the value of Cloud Computing, many are still wondering how to approach, evaluate and integrate Cloud Computing into their businesses. In this session we learn about the different strategies and milestones that enterprises are using to adopt Cloud Computing and how AWS can support these efforts.
Research from leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) has evidenced strong and growing interest in cloud deployment models. While public cloud has gotten the earliest attention, stronger adoption is happening within private and hybrid models. In the EMA April 2014 report “Managing Networks in the Age of Cloud, SDN, and Big Data Network Management Megatrends 2014,” over 50% of respondents reported public/hybrid cloud initiatives were driving network management priorities. Since 2012, cloud projects have moved from early adopter status to mainstream business initiatives, and their impact on network management grew from 36% in 2012 to over 50% in 2014. These slides cover some of the insights from this new research.

Doing Cloud Right! Five Keys to Becoming an Elite DevOps PerformerDevOps.com
The recently published results from the 2018 DORA State of DevOps Report shows that “doing cloud right” is the largest predictor of DevOps success. It’s not enough to just move to the cloud. Instead, organizations must adopt the 5 Key Cloud Practices of on-demand self-service, broad access, resource pooling, elasticity, and measured service to be truly successful. The result? Organizations that do are 23 times more likely to be elite performers!
DevOps defines a set of roles and responsibilities focused on reducing risk in IT deployments and projects. By connecting development and operations, enterprise IT departments can begin to break down silos in order to:
- maximize automation;
- eliminate or significantly reduce human error;
- increase consistency; and
- reduce time spent on the outages, error detection and prevention caused by unstable environments
Gunnar Menzel, President of ODCA, Chief Architect of Capgemini Infra, outlines the ODCA perspective on the DevOps concept, focusing on key challenges it can help resolve and the benefits it can provide.

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.

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).

Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.
