MBaas - Mobile Backend as a Service presented by Rinish KN, CTO, RapidValue S...RapidValue
Mobile Backend as a service (MBaaS), also known as "backend as a service" (BaaS),is a model for providing web and mobile app developers with a way to link their applications to backend cloud storage and APIs exposed by back end applications while also providing features such as user management, push notifications, and integration with social networking services.These services are provided via the use of custom software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs). BaaS is a relatively recent development in cloud computing, with most BaaS startups dating from 2011 or later.Although a fairly nascent industry, trends indicate that these services are gaining mainstream traction with enterprise consumers.
According to a Forrester research, the traditional 3-tier web architecture does not deliver anymore. Instead, a 4-tier engagement platform is what's required in a mobile-centric world. And further to that, application developers and enterprise architects needs a new mindset in and must relentlessly adhere to loosely coupled services and tiers, a distributed deployment and development model, and dynamically composed services to support contextual experiences.
This is where MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform fits very well to provide the necessary aggregation tier of the 4-tier engagement platform to serve the needs of the new mobile-centric world.

A DevOps Approach for Building 100 iOS AppsTechWell
Apple and IBM forged a global partnership to transform enterprise mobility, which includes delivering 100 applications built exclusively for iOS devices. There are myriad challenges involved in producing that many mobile apps quickly—and with excellent user experience and quality. The team had to work smarter rather than simply throw more people at the project. Join Leigh Williamson as he discusses the DevOps techniques they implemented to accelerate their huge mobile development project: cloud hosted services for Xcode-driven continuous integration; an extended quality cycle for the mobile app once in production; and linked front-end/back-end deployments. Because integrating multiple tools from multiple vendors was unavoidable, they employed an automated pipeline for testing and integrating the code for 100 mobile apps. As the mobile landscape continues to evolve, the importance of continuously delivering engaging mobile apps integrated with your enterprise remains critical to everyone's success. Hear how one team met the challenge at scale.
Eclipse OMR: a modern, open-source toolkit for building language runtimesDev_Events
Daryl Maier, Compiler Development Performance, IBM
Cloud, @0xdaryl
Java runtime technology has benefited from hundreds
of person years of development investment over the
last 20 years, resulting in a highly capable, high
performance and scalable dynamic language with a
vibrant developer ecosystem. The recently created OMR incubator project at Eclipse
(https://github.com/eclipse/omr) aims to expand access to high quality runtime technology for other
dynamic languages through an ongoing effort to restructure the core components of the J9 Java Virtual
Machine. Rather than building new languages on top of Java, however, this project aims to unlock the
inner workings of the JVM without imposing Java semantics to create a platform for building highly
capable language runtimes. This talk will introduce developers to the Eclipse OMR project: what it is, the
runtime technology that has been contributed so far, promising projects that leverage this technology,
active areas of development, and how developers can get involved.
Eclipse MicroProfile: Accelerating the adoption of Java MicroservicesDev_Events
Emily Jiang, WebSphere Application Server, CDI Development Lead, IBM Cloud @emilyfhjiang
While there are likely a dozen or more Java-based microservice / cloud native initiatives in the industry,
Eclipse MicroProfile provides a platform for Java developers to collaborate and innovate on areas of
common interest. This BOF will give a short overview of MicroProfile and how it plans to optimize
microservices for Enterprise Java, followed by a short Q&A to answer any clarifying questions, and the
remainder of the time spent on collaborating to prioritize features for the next release.
While MicroProfile's first release is founded in Java EE (CDI + JSON-P + JAX-RS), it is not intended to
remain a subset of Java EE 7 (or 8). The intent is to collaborate and innovate as a community in the
context of a microservices architecture across the 5 (and growing) MicroProfile implementations today.
The end goal of MicroProfile is to feed the Java Community Process (JCP) with JSR submissions backed
by well-thought-out concepts and even implementations that developers and enterprises can rely on.
Come collaborate with your fellow MicroProfilers to move Enterprise Java microservices forward.

Eclipse JDT Embraces Java 9 – An Insider’s ViewDev_Events
Manoj Palat, IBM Cloud and Sasikanth Bharadwaj, Developer, Eclipse JDT Core
Eclipse Java Development Tooling or JDT has its own Java compiler at its core, aptly called the JDT Core
consisting of the Java compiler and various tools including java model, search infrastructure, content
assist, Abstract Syntax Tree Tools etc. Java 9 is the latest entry in the Java world bringing along-with it a
“module” of changes – so to speak. Any change in the language standards affects JDT directly. While
some of the earlier language specification changes affected only the compiler, Java 9, in contrast, has a
direct impact on user who uses Eclipse IDE for creating and managing Java Projects. Java 9 introduces
the concept of “Modules” which affects JDT from the compiler level to the project dependency layer
affecting a normal user. Support for this feature will be dealt with, in detail, in this talk.

Secrets of building a debuggable runtime: Learn how language implementors sol...Dev_Events
Bjørn Vårdal, J9VM Software Developer, IBM, @bvaardal
New language runtimes appear all the time, but most of them die young. Failure can be attributed to
different reasons, but an important factor is that lack of support can limit the community’s and
industry’s willingness to adopt the new language.
Quicker development and improved serviceability allows emerging languages to overcome this obstacle.
By building on the proven technology available in Eclipse OMR, language developers can get more than
performance and stability; you also get tools that help you quickly debug your language runtime,
allowing you to provide competitive serviceability.
From this presentation, you will learn how to enable Eclipse OMR’s mature debugging features in your
language runtime, and also how Eclipse OMR can assist with development and debugging
Tools in Action: Transforming everyday objects with the power of deeplearning...Dev_Events
Marek Sadowski, Developer Advocate, IBM, @blumareks
With cognitive computing, we are now able to interact with everyday objects in ways that were deemed
impossible. In this session, we will demonstrate the power of cognitive Internet of Things and the Cloud
platform to securely connect and manage devices, analyze data, and apply cognitive services to add
human-like interaction.
Leveraging cognitive services for sentiment, tone, and visual analysis invoked from IoT/robotics
platforms and Voice UI interface we will show how you can quickly and securely turn a simple idea into
reality by transforming a regular robot vacuum into a cognitive-enabled smart device.
Servers are killing your productivity. Rather than building better software for your users, you end up constantly distracted by maintaining computers. Wasn't the "cloud" supposed to fix this? It sounded so promising until we realized it was just renting VMs in someone else's datacenter. We couldn't escape "servers". Until now...
In this session, developers will learn how to build microservices without servers, using modern “serverless” cloud platforms. We’ll look at common challenges (and solutions) to building applications using “serverless” stacks. Exploring emerging “serverless” design patterns will give developers the knowledge to build application architectures using these new platforms.

Create and Manage APIs with API Connect, Swagger and BluemixDev_Events
Presented by - Raghavan “Rags” Srinivas, Architect, IBM
Enabling other developers and organizations to use your APIs through their own applications and services provides a compelling system for innovation and monetization. The Swagger spec (v2.0), recently donated to the Open API Initiative (OAI), is part of an open source project for better creation and documentation of APIs. Companies are empowering developers via these initiatives to leverage the data and build apps around it. This hands-on session helps you get started with creating APIs for consumption by developers in a well-documented, secure, and easy-to-manage form.
Serverless architectures are one of the hottest trends in cloud computing this year, and for good reason. There are several technical capabilities and business factors coming together to make this approach compelling from both an application development and deployment cost perspective. The new OpenWhisk project provides an open source platform to enable these cloud-native, event-driven applications.
This talk will lay out the technical and business drivers behind the rise of serverless architectures, provide an introduction to the OpenWhisk open source project (and describe how it differs from other services like AWS Lambda), and give a demonstration showing how to start developing with this new cloud computing model using the OpenWhisk implementation available on IBM Bluemix.

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.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
