A Model Driven Reverse Engineering framework for extracting business rules ou...RuleML
This document presents a model driven approach for extracting business rules from Java applications. It discusses the context of needing to align business policies with rules encoded in software. The approach involves three main activities: 1) variable classification to identify business-related variables, 2) business rule identification to collect code related to identified variables, and 3) business rule representation to present extracted rules. It outlines a framework for implementing this approach using model driven techniques, including generating a platform specific model from source code, classifying variables, and extracting a domain model conforming to a business object model metamodel.
The document discusses COSA Technologies, which provides several enterprise products including DataMatters for automated data management, Visual System Modeling for analysis and design, Coherence Knowledge Capture for knowledge management, and a Coherent System Platform for adaptable software development. V.S. Merlot, Inc. promotes their technology as simplifying and reducing the costs of software development, data conversions, and business operations through a services-oriented architecture approach.

A Model Driven Reverse Engineering framework for extracting business rules ou...Valerio Cosentino
The document describes a model-driven framework for extracting business rules from Java applications. The framework uses model discovery to generate a platform-specific model from source code. It then performs variable classification to identify domain variables and business concepts. Business rule identification works by "slicing" the model based on domain variables to annotate statements, methods, and declarations relevant to each variable. The annotations are used to extract a business rule model represented using IBM's business rule metamodel. The overall goal is to modularly discover and represent business rules implemented in an application's source code.

January 1, 2015. It is New Year’s Day and Virginia Rometty, IB.docxvrickens
January 1, 2015. It is New Year’s Day and Virginia Rometty, IBM’s chief executive officer (CEO),
looks at IBM’s performance and knows the company faces challenges. In October 2014, IBM announced
a tenth consecutive quarter of flat or declining sales, and she broke with prior CEO commitments to
earn more than $20 a share every year.1 IBM has a history of reacting to change slowly, but eventu-
ally reinventing itself. Under her predecessor, Sam Palmisano (2002–2011), IBM underwent significant
changes. Palmisano redefined IBM by deemphasizing hardware to increase the impact of consulting
and software. In 2002, IBM acquired PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting for $3.5 billion and Rational
Software for $2.1 billion to remake IBM around three complementary areas of Systems and Financing,
Software, and Services (see Exhibit 1). Rometty was part of those changes and, since becoming CEO,
she has divested unprofitable businesses, such as selling its server unit to Lenovo for $2.1 billion in
2014, and paying Global Foundries $1.5 billion to take IBM’s money-losing chip business in 2014.2 Still,
a clear move by IBM into new profitable areas has remained elusive. Further, increased competition in
cloud computing services from Amazon and Google put pressure on software and services sales and
revenues (see Exhibit 2).
As she celebrates her third-year anniversary as CEO, Rometty becomes increasingly aware that time
is the one thing she is running out of to change IBM. Once again in its over-100-year history, IBM is at
the crossroads. It is time for further changes at IBM so it can adapt to disruptive cloud computing and
data analytics technologies. Alternatively, will the current strategy of offering customers integrated
technology solutions enable growing revenues from cloud computing and data analytics? As Virginia
Rometty is getting ready for the new year, she ponders: What needs to be done to avoid her becoming
known as the CEO that oversaw IBM’s decline or being dismissed early in her tenure?
Brief History of IBM
IBM’s (“Big Blue’s”) history dates back to long before electronic computers, reflecting several tech-
nological discontinuities (see Exhibit 3). It originated as the Tabulating Machine Company in 1896,
and it specialized in the development of punch-card data-processing equipment. Thomas J. Watson,
Sr. became general manager of the company in 1914 and in 1924 changed its name to International
Business Machines Corporation, or IBM. During the next 20 years, IBM grew rapidly. Despite the Great
Depression of the 1930s, IBM continued to manufacture new products, and after passage of the Social

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.
