MongoDB: How We Did It – Reanimating Identity at AOLMongoDB
AOL experienced explosive growth and needed a new database that was both flexible and easy to deploy with little effort. They chose MongoDB. Due to the complexity of internal systems and the data, most of the migration process was spent building a new identity platform and adapters for legacy apps to talk to MongoDB. Systems were migrated in 4 phases to ensure that users were not impacted during the switch. Turning on dual reads/writes to both legacy databases and MongoDB also helped get production traffic into MongoDB during the process. Ultimately, the project was successful with the help of MongoDB support. Today, the team has 15 shards, with 60-70 GB per shard.
The talk will describe the results we got by adopting MongoDB in key areas of our business. Backcountry.com is a midsize company in constant evolution looking for growth in a extremely competitive ecosystem. We try to be agile and target fast prototyping and data-based decisions. Our dev stack used to heavily rely on Postgres and Oracle, but in a short period of time we were able to introduce MongoDB in a key set of applications and we've seen positive results. We're less dependent on monolithic applications and we're progressively moving to Microservices. By choosing MongoDB as one of our main technologies, our dev teams became more productive as well as mature. They see beyond relational approaches and explore more options to tackle different problems.
La personalización en internet permite crear experiencias consistentes, únicas y relevantes para los usuarios. Esta estrategia, desempeña un papel fundamental en contextos de negocio como e-commerce (por ejemplo en retails, telecomunicaciones, etc.), en el cual las experiencias personalizadas, tienen mayor probabilidad de aumentar la conversión. Oracle Endeca Guided Search, un motor de indexación y búsqueda word-class, proporciona características asociadas a la personalización y la facilidad de búsqueda de contenido por múltiples factores y características. Oracle Endeca Experience Manager, permite definir reglas de negocio para personalización del comportamiento de un sitio. Ambas herramientas partes de la suite de Oracle Customer Experience, representan un rol crítico en el logro de iniciativas de negocio en internet.

Transform DBMS to Drive Apps of Engagement InnovationEDB
IT leaders face ever-increasing challenges to fund and deliver innovative business solutions for better customer and stakeholder engagement. While much of the infrastructure stack has been commoditized, the DBMS remains an expensive and growing drain on IT resources that otherwise could drive innovation.
This presentation outlines how money can be freed up in IT from expensive database spend by transforming applications and the DBMS to a subscription-based, cloud ready EnterpriseDB Postgres offering.
Further, learn how the same DBMS used for these traditional workloads with familiar tools and a large skill base can also be used for new applications of engagement, which rely on a wider variety of data including NoSQL, semi-structured along with relational data.

Webinar: Realizing Omni-Channel Retailing with MongoDB - One Step at a TimeMongoDB
Let’s face it – the consumer is in control. Retailers, this means – you need to be constantly prepared to listen, speak relevantly and act personally. To meet modern demands and expanding selling channels, retailers need to deploy seamless product information with endless aisle, empowered associates turned sales agents – whenever, to whatever medium they want, however the customer wants.
Knowing today’s realities, most databases systems are rigid and difficult to change, making it a challenge to provide personalized information to customers, wherever they want - right now.
MongoDB is an agile, game-changing technology that provides a real-time view of business with based upon consumer requirements. In this webinar you will learn how leading global retailers create unique business value using MongoDB such as:
1. Real-time view of product information
2. Relevant view of the customer from whichever channel they engage
3. Smart mobile applications that understands the customer's most recent activities
Once in place, retailers continue to leverage the data views to extend their business information across other business areas.
Learn about retailers embracing this approach to meet today’s business needs with MongoDB. As part of a mini-series, led by Rebecca Bucnis, global business architect @MongoDB, we will share how you can get started on your way to Omni-Channel retailing, one step at a time.
How do you build a general purpose data collection tool that can be integrated into 100+ sites, handle 15,000 1K writes/second, and have nearly zero downtime? How do you do that and have an architecture virtually unchanged for 3+ years? Start with using Mongo. Michael Makunas and Ramesh Nuthalapati from Viacom Media Networks, home of MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and dozens of other brands, detail the architecture of the voting, polling, and data collection system that powers everything from voting for the MTV Video Music Awards, to sliming celebrities at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, to contests to meet Miley Cyrus.
Mobility: It's Time to Be Available for HERMongoDB
In order to meet the needs of the digitally-oriented consumer, retailers need to offer personalized service in real-time. By embracing mobile to deliver an integrated experience to customers, retailers can open new business opportunities.
Yet, for many traditional retailers, providing a seamless experience across mobile and other channels presents challenges due to the limitations of legacy technology infrastructure and the ability to act in ‘real-time’. However, a new class of database technology is emerging that enables retailers to support new business requirements, improve customer experience and reduce cost. In the next session of webinar series - Omni-Channel Retailing: One-Step-at a Time you will learn why more and more retailers and ecommerce players are turning to MongoDB as a choice for their mobile platforms. Based on existing customers you will learn:
How to meet the consumer where she is, whenever she wants - know where she is using geo-spatial services
Engage with her and provide a ‘real-time’ experience, tailored to her expectations - check-her in or ‘check-her out’ at the POS and provide the latest update
Deliver the most up-to-date information to your associates so they are empowered to serve the consumer when she engages with your brand - deliver the latest inventory information via mobile app to your employee
In this discussion, you learn the latest in business techniques and how you can take advantage of MongoDB to deliver another piece of Omni-channel imperative - meeting your customer - at her convenience.

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.
