System z Technology Summit Streamlining UtilitiesSurekha Parekh
Most DB2 applications are global non-stop, requiring almost
100% accessibility. Availability demands reduce the amount
of time available to perform necessary routine tasks, such as
utility maintenance on the underlying data and objects stored
in DB2 for z/OS that support critical business applications. In
addition, companies are looking for ways to streamline DB2 utility
processing to maximize system and personnel resources. How
valuable would it be to maximize your use of IBM DB2 Utilities
Suite for z/OS for both DB2 9 and DB2 10? What if you could
establish DB2 utility practices at a company level and know
that they would be monitored and adhered to? Do you want
to reduce your batch window during utility sort processing to
improve availability and performance? How important would it
be to run utilities only on objects when and if it’s necessary?
The answers to these questions and more will be revealed in
this session.

Fusion Cloud Data Centers: a new high tech frontierfestival ICT 2016
Il cloud computing rappresenta una vera rivoluzione nel mondo dell’IT come lo è stato a suo tempo l’evoluzione dal modello mainframe a quello client-server.
In questo contesto, le aziende si trovano oggi ad affrontare sfide come il Big Data, Sap Hana, il consolidamento di realtà spesso etereogenee e la necessità di far fronte cicli di rinnovamento tecnologico brevissimi.
Per una soluzione IT oggi più importante che una mera cost reduction, è la capacità di migliorare i processi di business velocizzando i tempi di implementazione e rendendo più semplice la gestione della soluzione stessa.
Nascono paradigmi come “Data Center on demand” o “Software Defined Data Center”: consolidare l’infrastruttura IT in un unico pool di risorse virtualizzate da assegnare dinamicamente (on demand) ai livelli applicativi.
Si evince come punto chiave la necessità di una tecnologia convergente, scalabile, performante in grado di proteggere gli investimenti delle aziende oggi sempre più mirati in un mercato in forte contrazione.
Fusion Cloud è la risposta di Huawei a questi quesiti: ponendosi come one stop shop, Huawei è uno dei pochissimi vendor in grado di fornire soluzioni integrate di computing, storage e networking.
Huawei è in grado di progettare, ingegnerizzare e produrre queste 3 componenti in casa propria, ottimizzando il prodotto come un’ unica soluzione end to end.
Huawei oggi fornisce soluzioni di cloud computing a giganti come ad esempio Alibaba (leader e-commerce ISP), Baidu (leader Internet Engine ISP) e Tencent (leader ISP); già leader nel mercato IT dell’EST, sta implementando le proprie soluzioni nel mercato occidentale posizionandosi come la vera novità in campo IT.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
