Why is it that cloud computing operational models haven't taken hold more fully in enterprise IT? In this presentation, I'll explore the reasons I think are behind the problem, and what can be done to address these reasons.
Ask the Pros: How to Manage Social Media at Your NonprofitBig Duck
Facebook? Twitter? Pinterest? Instagram? With so many channels, it can be hard to know where to start, how to make time for it, or if you're doing it well. Social media has fundamentally shifted the way we communicate and connect with our supporters. Farra Trompeter, Vice President of Big Duck, will moderated a panel of nonprofiteers who manage communities and social media for their organizations. Together they will shared how they use social media to engage their communities.

Magic Myth and the DevOps, ANTIDOTES TO LEARNED HELPLESSNESS AND FEAR CULTURE...Jennifer Davis
"Once upon a time": powerful words that begin many oral
narratives and indicate that the story to be told will be imbued
with magic and myth. Organizational folklore can be a very powerful
force for instilling or perpetuating behavior, systems, and culture
within an organization.
Too often, fear and negativity are the driving forces in the folklore
behind many organizational traditions. A positive narrative that
embraces the customs and traditions of a healthy, balanced feedback
loop can help jumpstart your DevOps journey. This talk will help you
frame your narrative alongside metrics and use folklore as a catalyst
for positive change.
Stephanie Sansoucie, "Future of Omnichannel Immersion"WebVisions
Meaningful experience innovation can be found at the point where emerging technology, customer needs and business strategy converge. Big box retailers are in a precarious state today, evolve or die, resulting in substantial innovation across the domain. This evolution moves well beyond the retail domain, however, and will likely impact any organization that plays across physical and digital touchpoints.
In the future, emerging technology will infuse data into the fabric of our world resulting in immersive, contextually relevant experiences. To generate these immersive experiences, we will need to uncover customer needs beyond those high-level key moments of truth across the journey. We need to expose the micro-moments that matter. Just as organizations invest in experience evolution, so too must they evolve their business model based on learnings.
The future omnichannel organization is a nimble, learning organization driven by the changing needs of their customer. User experience professionals stand at the forefront of effective evolution. We are moving beyond the traditional interface. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of our work, we have the skills to bridge the gap between emerging technology and strategy to create new patterns of interaction. We must evolve our discipline to be ready for the future of omnichannel immersion.

Using Apache Spark to Tune Spark with Shivnath Babu and Adrian PopescuDatabricks
Spark’s Catalyst Optimizer uses cost-based optimization (CBO) to pick the best execution plan for a SparkSQL query. The CBO can choose which join strategy to use (e.g., a broadcast join versus repartitioned join), which table to use as the build side for the hash-join, which join order to use in a multi-way join query, which filter to push down, and others. To get its decisions right, the CBO makes a number of assumptions including availability of up-to-date statistics about the data, accurate estimation of result sizes, and availability of accurate models to estimate query costs.
These assumptions may not hold in real-life settings such as multi-tenant clusters and agile cloud environments; unfortunately, causing the CBO to pick suboptimal execution plans. Dissatisfied users then have to step in and tune the queries manually. In this talk, we will describe how we built Elfino, a Self-Driving Query Optimizer. Elfino tracks each and every query over time—before, during, and after execution—and uses machine learning algorithms to learn from mistakes made by the CBO in estimating properties of the input datasets, intermediate query result sizes, speed of the underlying hardware, and query costs. Elfino can further use an AI algorithm (modeled on multi-armed bandits with expert advice) to “explore and experiment” in a safe and nonintrusive manner using otherwise idle cluster resources. This algorithm enables Elfino to learn about execution plans that the CBO will not consider otherwise.
Our talk will cover how these algorithms help guide the CBO towards better plans in real-life settings while reducing its reliance on assumptions and manual steps like query tuning, setting configuration parameters by trial-and-error, and detecting when statistics are stale. We will also share our experiences with evaluating Elfino in multiple environments and highlight interesting avenues for future work.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
