“My systems work perfectly—it’s the applications that are the problem!” If you have ever said (or thought) that, then this session is for you. Outages do not have to be "an application issue" anymore. In CICS TS 5, new policy-based capabilities allow you to set thresholds on the resources that your applications are allowed to consume. Rogue applications can be detected through various task threshold policies, such as excessive file or database access, repetitive program links, or abnormal storage requests. Once detected, you have the ability to notify, to react, or to ABEND. There’s a new sheriff in town, and it’s you. Come to this session to learn how to exercise your new power wisely.
GSE Nordic 2015 CICS Connectivity in DevOps The business driver behind adopting a DevOps approach to developing software, is the need to deliver applications to the market faster, with lower costs and higher quality. With CICS Transaction Server providing the core services on which many of these applications rely, the importance of being able to connect to CICS and reuse these core services continues to increase. When CICS introduced native Web services about a decade ago, SOA became a reality for CICS customers. Today, many customers are doing tens of millions of SOAP based CICS Web services per day. Some are doing much more. But SOAP based CICS Web services are only a part of the CICS connectivity story. Support for the REST architectural style in CICS is an increasingly popular alternative to SOAP. And JSON is a popular alternative to XML for many application use cases. In this session, we will explore the different CICS connectivity options, suggest use-cases in which they can be of most value, and most importantly, learn which is the right tool for the job.
GSE Nordic 2015 Liberty, Egality, Fraternity “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), is the slogan of France, coined around the time of the French Revolution. It also seems a pretty appropriate slogan for the mini revolution that is happening right now with CICS and WebSphere. The Liberty profile is a highly composable and dynamic application server runtime environment that is shipped as a part of both WebSphere and CICS. This session will introduce Liberty in CICS, compare the capability with WebSphere (note the ‘equality’ word) and discuss how these new Liberty applications can interact with and support the established fraternity of existing CICS applications that run your core business.
GSE Nordic 2015 CICS Java – Beauty and the Beast After giving sessions about Java in the past few years that tell system programmers they should do Java on IBM z Systems and that Java is just like every other language, this session tries to explain why Java is a bit different in operating and handling. We will compare COBOL/PLI/Assembler with Java and provide insight into how the Java technology works on z Systems. Come along if you want to find out the answers to questions such as: Why can't you phase in a Java program? What does the JIT compiler do and how does it work? What is the development process of Java applications? How do I debugging and logging in Java applications?
S108 - 1 Billion Smartphones a year and counting – How is your CICS connected?nick_garrod
GSE Nordic 2015 1 Billion Smartphones a year and counting – How is your CICS connected? According to IDC, in 2013 “the worldwide smartphone market reached yet another milestone, having shipped one billion units in a single year for the first time”. This was an increase of almost 40% over 2012. If much of your business runs on CICS, you have probably already exposed at least some your CICS applications to the mobile world. But are you exposing these services in the optimal way for your company? Come to this session to discover what the supported options are for mobile exploitation in CICS Transaction Server, CICS Transaction Gateway and z/OS Connect. This session will compare and contrast the options available, so you can understand what is right for you. It will also discuss how you can use IBM MobileFirst with CICS TS to optimize your mobile deployments. Make sure your phone is on silent – you won’t want to be disturbed in this session.
S107 5 compelling reasons for using cics in the cloudnick_garrod
GSE Nordic 2015 5 Compelling reasons for using CICS in the cloud. So what does creating a CICS ‘Cloud’ really mean? And what exactly are these new CICS Cloud capabilities? How do these new Applications and Platforms artifacts relate to existing CICS technologies such as programs, transactions and regions? Where do these new Policies fit in? And most importantly, why would you do any of this? What value can you expect to derive from creating a CICS Cloud architecture? If you have ever asked yourself any of those questions, this session will give you five compelling answers. If you ever wondered what the CICS Cloud means in the real world, this session if for you.
S106 using ibm urban code deploy to deliver your apps to cicsnick_garrod
GSE Nordic 2015 Using IBM UrbanCode Deploy to deliver your apps to CICS. Deploying applications to CICS can be tricky, and you may be struggling to figure out how to handle the many new zFS artifacts such as cloud, bundles, Java, and web services. This could even be slowing down the adoption of new technologies that could deliver the solutions your business needs. This session will introduce IBM UrbanCode Deploy as a tool to automate many types of application deployments through your environments. It can provide rapid feedback and continuous delivery in agile development while providing the audit trails, versioning and approvals needed in production. See the new z/OS and CICS TS plug-ins for UrbanCode Deploy in action to deploy COBOL, web services, and Java applications to CICS in a single action.
GSE Nordic 2015 CICS Performance and Consolidation The CICS TS V5 releases introduce a number of runtime enhancements to reduce CPU usage, improve response times, reduce resource usage, while providing additional insight into transaction performance. Come along to this session as we explore some of the newer performance benefits found in CICS TS and how savings can translate to your environment. We will also look at a lab benchmark that consolidated CICS regions, maintaining throughput, saving significant MIPS, and reducing the management overhead.
GSE Nordic 2015 Twist and cloud – How customers make CICS dance. Putting CICS into the cloud, is someone actually doing this? Since 2012 CICS TS Version 5 has been introducing and continuously enhancing its capabilities to support a Platform As A Service approach. Join speakers from CICS Technical Sales to hear about their experiences and how their customers gained value from cloud capabilities in CICS.
GSE Nordic 2015 CICS Cloud and DevOps agility2 Creating a CICS cloud can provide a step change in agility. Add DevOps to the equation and it’s more like a quantum leap. Imagine if the latest CICS DevOps technology could fully automate the reliable and repeatable deployment of CICS applications through the entire lifecycle. Imagine a fully automated build environment for any style of CICS application. With common scripting languages and tools to create a continuous deployment model. Or imagine using a tool like IBM UrbanCode Deploy to provision any type of CICS application, in coordination with other application and database components in a single action. Better still, don’t try and imagine it. Attend this session and see it for yourself.
S102 cics the future is closer abridgednick_garrod
GSE Nordic 2015 - Future of CICS is closer than you think. There is a lot going on behind that mysterious curtain. Recently, the CICS development organization has adopted a new practice called ‘IBM Design Thinking’, which will forever change the way CICS products are developed. The core principle of this approach is to make sure we get as much feedback as possible on our future ideas. This is a quite unique opportunity to participate in a discussion regarding the future of IBM CICS technology. We will be sharing our views. And we will be hoping for lots for interactive feedback. Please don’t be shy!
GSE Nordic 2015 Conferece - CICS Opening. CICS TS V5.1 became available at the end of 2012, followed by CICS TS V5.2 in mid 2014. So what does that mean for you? Perhaps you can reduce operational complexity by hosting modern application interface logic inside the Liberty profile server within CICS? Perhaps you can use the new CICS Cloud capabilities to improve application reliability and accelerate deployments? Maybe you can improve your integration with Mobile devices? Or better control your costs though policies and consolidation? Nick and Ian open the CICS track to help you find out how CICS is reinventing mainframe application serving one again. Discover which sessions you should attend to get the most value from your attendance.
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.

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!

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.
