Dale Vile, CEO of Freeform Dynamics Ltd, gave a presentation on cloud computing trends and perspectives. He discussed how cloud computing has evolved from hype to emerging clarity, with confusion persisting over definitions. Vile outlined different views of cloud, including technology vs services and the service stack. He noted that cloud will have a significant impact on IT delivery and management, but that a hybrid model is emerging. Looking ahead, Vile argued organizations should focus on business services rather than aiming to "move to the cloud," and that cloud represents a shift to a service-centric view of IT.

To dramatically reduce defense costs, Open Architecture (OA) offers a vision of complex systems of systems built from composable, replaceable modules.
From its origins with the Navy's OA program for ship systems nearly 10 years ago, this design philosophy is spreading to military programs worldwide, including the the Future Architecture Computing Environment (FACE) for avionics, the Unmanned Air Segment Control Segment (UCS) for ground stations, the Army's Common Operating Environment (COE) and the UK's Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA). These programs are defining technology and acquisition policy for the next generation of defense systems.
Communication Patterns Using Data-Centric Publish/SubscribeSumant Tambe
Fundamental to any distributed system are communication patterns: point-to-point, request-reply, transactional queues, and publish-subscribe. Large distributed systems often employ two or more communication patterns. Using a single middleware that supports multiple communication patterns is a very cost-effective way of developing and maintaining large distributed systems. This talk will begin with an introduction of Data Distribution Service (DDS) – an OMG standard – that supports data-centric publish-subscribe communication for real-time distributed systems. DDS separates state management and distribution from application logic and supports discoverable data models. The talk will then describe how RTI Connext Messaging goes beyond vanilla DDS and implements various communication patterns including request-reply, command-response, and guaranteed delivery. You will also learn how these patterns can be combined to create interesting variations when the underlying substrate is as powerful as DDS. We’ll also discuss APIs for creating high-performance applications using the request-reply communication pattern.

The document discusses the vision for a "Polysynthetic Data Center", which is described as a new approach to the data center that integrates software-defined infrastructure, processes, and methodologies. It summarizes that the Polysynthetic Data Center extends beyond traditional data centers, proactively puts together systems and services to achieve business outcomes, relies on enabling technologies like software-defined concepts and the Internet of Everything, and is driven by business requirements. Implementing a Polysynthetic Data Center requires advancing infrastructure maturity and aligning organizational maturity around a services management approach.
The document discusses why proper governance is important for multi-sourcing IT workloads. Effective governance simplifies multi-vendor management, improves collaboration and performance, and controls costs. Without governance, organizations typically realize only a fraction of expected benefits from multi-sourcing due to ineffective management. Key components of governance include aligning workloads with sourcing models, clarifying accountability, and strengthening relationships to improve communication. The document concludes that a flexible sourcing model combined with governance enables organizations to benefit from modern IT sourcing opportunities.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
