Semantic Web Services by Mark D. Wilkinson (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid)
Operational systems manage our finances, shopping, devices and much more. Adding real-time analytics to these systems enables them to instantly respond to changing conditions and provide immediate, targeted feedback. This use of analytics is called "operational intelligence," and the need for it is widespread.
This talk will explain how in-memory computing techniques can be used to implement operational intelligence. It will show how an in-memory data grid integrated with a data-parallel compute engine can track events generated by a live system, analyze them in real time, and create alerts that help steer the system’s behavior. Code samples will demonstrate how an in-memory data grid employs object-oriented techniques to simplify the correlation and analysis of incoming events by maintaining an in-memory model of a live system.
The talk also will examine simplifications offered by this approach over directly analyzing incoming event streams from a live system using complex event processing or Storm. Lastly, it will explain key requirements of the in-memory computing platform for operational intelligence, in particular real-time updating of individual objects and high availability using data replication, and contrast these requirements to the design goals for stream processing in Spark.
Jacobs has used Endeavour (AVEVA NET) for more than 12 years for delivery of project data. The use has been primarily driven by customer or contract requirements for data handover, but over time both Jacobs’ project teams and customers have recognized the value of having trustworthy and complete data at the completion of a project, and is giving a focused effort to execute data-centric projects moving forward. To support this, Jacobs is implementing AVEVA Engineering to drive a data-centric collaboration between disciplines to enable greater work efficiencies. This game-changing approach using Endeavour and AVEVA Engineering will provide data alignment across the full project spectrum of EPC delivery.

Don't Leave Your Traditional IBM Systems Out of Your IT Operations EffortsPrecisely
Many companies are modernizing their IT Operations capabilities by moving to a new platform. Some companies are motivated by a desire to become more proactive with their IT operations. Other companies find they have disparate processes and disconnected systems and need to move to a single platform for their IT operations. Whatever is motivating the modernization, it is critical that the new IT Operations process provides visibility into the entire infrastructure. Syncsort’s Ironstream solutions can provide a seamless integration for IBM Mainframe and IBM i IT Operations data to be included in these new IT Operations platforms.
Watch this webcast to:
Learn what IBM legacy system data needs to be integrated into the modern IT operations platforms like Splunk and ServiceNow

Continuous Intelligence - Intersecting Event-Based Business Logic and MLParis Carbone
Modern data-driven business infrastructure is not as effective as it should be when it comes to critical decision making. Eng-to-End Data pipelines are composed out of fundamentally diverse pieces of tech, each focusing on a specific frontend (e.g., DataFrames, Tensors, Streams) and running in total isolation, thus, being highly unoptimised and complex to integrate with event-based business logic. Our research group has been looking into ways we can use advanced systems theory to compile, optimise and execute distributed functions in unison across the whole spectrum of data-driven programming, leading to a unified way to combine analytics and services all the way down to hardware execution and make continuous intelligence a reality.
Key Takeaways
Introducing the concept of Continuous Intelligence and why we are not there yet.
Pinpointing weaknesses in the current way we structure data-driven pipelines today
Explaining the potential of an Intermediate Representation (IR) and Shared Hardware Execution support to solve the problem.
Presenting our vision on how this new tech can be used to radically change the way we declare and distill knowledge from data in a fast-changing world.

Lessons learned building a big data analytics engine, from proprietary to open source by Álvaro Santamaria & Joel Brunger
After spending four years building a proprietary all-in-one streaming analytics engine for financial services, it became clear that open-source was starting to pull ahead. Alvaro will talk about the challenges of creating an IT operations solution for financial services; what to build, what not to build, and how to use open source tools to get past the infrastructure and focus on the business problems that matter.
Making Hadoop Realtime by Dr. William Bain of Scaleout SoftwareData Con LA
Hadoop has been widely embraced for its ability to economically store and analyze large data sets. Using parallel computing techniques like MapReduce, Hadoop can reduce long computation times to hours or minutes. This works well for mining large volumes of historical data stored on disk, but it is not suitable for gaining real-time insights from live operational data. Still, the idea of using Hadoop for real-time data analytics on live data is appealing because it leverages existing programming skills and infrastructure – and the parallel architecture of Hadoop itself. This presentation will describe how real-time analytics using Hadoop can be performed by combining an in-memory data grid (IMDG) with an integrated, stand-alone Hadoop MapReduce execution engine. This new technology delivers fast results for live data and also accelerates the analysis of large, static data sets.

The Heatmap - Why is Security Visualization so Hard?Raffael Marty
The extent and impact of recent security breaches is showing that current approaches are just not working. But what can we do to protect our business? We have been advocating monitoring for a long time as a way to detect subtle, advanced attacks. However, products have failed to deliver on this promise. Current solutions don't scale in both data volume and analytical insights. In this presentation we will explore why it is so hard to come up with a security monitoring (or shall we call it security intelligence) approach that helps find sophisticated attackers in all the data collected. We are going to explore the question of how to visualize a billion events. We are going to look at a number of security visualization examples to illustrate the problem and some possible solutions. These examples will also help illustrate how data mining and user experience design help us get a handle of the security visualization challenges - enabling us to gain deep insight for a number of security use-cases.

Marcus Paradies, Software developer at SAP extended the talk Arnau Prats gave about the SNB, in this case about the Intelligence workload. In contrast with the 17+4 queries the Interactive workload has, the Business Intelligence (BI) workload consists on 24 queries that can be seen as OLAP-style against the OLTP-style of the Interactive one. The BI focuses on analytic queries and they touch the whole graph.
Sergey Edunov, Software Engineer at Facebook gave a great talk on how and why his company generating large-scale social graphs. The underlying reasons to start such an ambitious project are capacity planning to make sure that their system will be able to handle a graph that keeps growing year after year and fair evaluation of their system against the ones being implemented by other companies.

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.
