Moving mobility forward 10 mobile predictions Troy C. Fulton
Get a glimpse into the key trends that will drive mobility over the next 12 months and begin to map a course for dealing with upcoming changes to the mobility landscape, including:
• The rise of one-button BYOD as a solution to securing multiple device vendors

• Cloud computing advances the pressure to increase innovation and workloads at lower costs
The world is changing quickly. Ubiquitous access to information has fundamentally changed the expectations of customers and business owners. As we get comfortable in having conversations with Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple’s Siri, we now want our business software to respond to our questions in an intelligent and human-like manner. In short, we are moving away from reports and dashboards to the next wave of technology that will help us focus on tasks that we are professionally trained for and also guide us in making the right and informed decisions.
Your ability is important, but it's your agility in business that will determine your ultimate success. #AgilityTrumpsAbility
Key points:
· Chunkification has fully blossomed. But chunks are not sustainable in the long run. Problems with chunkification:
o Customer have to pay more for all the chunks.
o Integration of chunks can often be expensive and complex. May have to re-configure each app to play well with the others.
o Single Sign-on hides the fact that you're switching to chunks, but has intermittent failures.
o Digital plumbing "leaks" continue to frustrate users and adds support costs.
o Customers want a "single throat to choke" for support
o With no revenue from chunks, the only way for software vendors to monetize is to build or buy the chunks.
o Big Bad Data - integrating data across multiple apps often creates copies of data that becomes out of date and/or inaccurate. When that data is aggregated into "Big Data" sets, the problems multiply and the quality of information is depleted.
· The Big Convergence: The pendulum is shifting back away from Chunkification towards integrated suites with single databases as opposed to APIs that transfer (and copy) data from system to system.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

Take about what accountants do with IT. Dicuss some models for understanding IT adoption. Make some easy choices.
This is a good thing.Giving you tools to think about your IT choices.
Beware the danger of dimensionless graphs.All the bad news is on the left. Lots of hype, small amounts of adoption. Very early failures. To wit Java 1.0.
The peak is where to sell overpriced companies. E.g. Groupon, MySpace.Also not dimensioned the same for all products. Even for a supposed success like iPod we are talking 5 years. Real technology adoption periods are more like 5-10 years.
Instead of ignore new technology. Think : what is its difference vector/utility function? How is it meant to be better.The saturation of utility.
Trends you should care about. Are climbing up the plateau of productivity.
Who is going to be the first accountancy aggregator?On of the previous companies will let you do this soon
