ARIS Roadmap: Business and IT transformation with ARISNRB
In this presentation, Dr. Helge Hess from Software AG shares some exciting news about ARIS and its evolutions. Focusing on digitalization and its impact on all businesses, he stresses the importance of customer-centric operations as well as how digital business platform will strategically matter in the customer journey battle. What makes the difference today is your product & service experience and how you are delivering it to your customers: do things differently and do things better thanks to ARIS!
Many large enterprises have begun using AWS to host development and test environments while also building greenfield applications in AWS. After realizing the benefits that AWS has to offer, many Enterprise look for ways to accelerate their migration to the cloud. In beginning this journey they are often faced with a number of challenges such as determining which applications should move, how they should move, and how can they be effectively managed in the cloud. Accenture, working with AWS Solution Architects, and AWS Professional Services have developed a framework, based on our experiences, to quickly, efficiently, and successfully move enterprise applications to AWS at scale. This session will review our approach, tools, and methods that can help Enterprises evolve their cloud transformation programs.
The TOGAF® Architecture Development Method recommends that "an architecture description be encoded in a standard language". As the Open Group standard for enterprise modeling, Archimate is a strong candidate for this role. This presentation will explore how a diversified financial services company selected and is using Archimate for its TOGAF® implementation. The speaker will compare available enterprise modeling languages and explain why Archimate was selected, and will explain how his organization developed an enabling metamodel and diagram templates using a leading enterprise modeling tool. Methodology transition will also be covered, including how existing diagram types were mapped to TOGAF®, and how TOGAF® diagram content was mapped to Archimate.

IT Architecture’s Role In Solving Technical Debt.pdfAlan McSweeney
Technical debt is an overworked term without an effective and common agreed understanding of what exactly it is, what causes it, what are its consequences, how to assess it and what to do about it.
Technical debt is the sum of additional direct and indirect implementation and operational costs incurred and risks and vulnerabilities created because of sub-optimal solution design and delivery decisions.
Technical debt is the sum of all the consequences of all the circumventions, budget reduction, time pressure, lack of knowledge, manual workarounds, short-cuts, avoidance, poor design and delivery quality and decisions to remove elements from solution scope and failure to provide foundational and backbone solution infrastructure.
Technical debt leads to a negative feedback cycle with short solution lifespan, earlier solution replacement and short-term tactical remedial actions.
All the disciplines within IT architecture have a role to play in promoting an understanding of and in the identification of how to resolve technical debt. IT architecture can provide the leadership in both remediating existing technical debt and preventing future debt.
Failing to take a complete view of the technical debt within the organisation means problems and risks remained unrecognised and unaddressed. The real scope of the problem is substantially underestimated. Technical debt is always much more than poorly written software.
Technical debt can introduce security risks and vulnerabilities into the organisation’s solution landscape. Failure to address technical debt leaves exploitable security risks and vulnerabilities in place.
Shadow IT or ghost IT is a largely unrecognised source of technical debt including security risks and vulnerabilities. Shadow IT is the consequence of a set of reactions by business functions to an actual or perceived inability or unwillingness of the IT function to respond to business needs for IT solutions. Shadow IT is frequently needed to make up for gaps in core business solutions, supplementing incomplete solutions and providing omitted functionality.

Solution Architecture and Solution AcquisitionAlan McSweeney
This describes a systematised and structured approach to solution acquisition or procurement that involves solution architecture from the start. This allows the true scope of both the required and subsequently acquired solution are therefore fully understood. By using such an approach, poor solution acquisition outcomes are avoided.
Solution architecture provides the structured approach to capturing all the cost contributors and knowing the true solution scope.
There is more packaged/product/service-based solution acquisition activity. There is an increasing trend of solutions hosted outside the organisation. Meanwhile solution acquisition outcomes are poor and getting worse.
Poor solution acquisition has long-term consequences and costs.
The to-be-acquired solution needs to operate in and co-exist with an existing solution topography and the solution acquisition process needs to be aware of and take account of this wider solution topography. Cloud-based or externally hosted and provided solutions do not eliminate the need for the solution to exist within the organisation solution topography.
Strategic misrepresentation in solution acquisition is the deliberate distortion or falsification of information relating to solution acquisition costs, complexity, required functionality, solution availability, resource availability, time to implement in order to get solution acquisition approval. Strategic misrepresentation is very real and its consequences can be very damaging.
Solution architecture has the skills and experience to define the real scope of the solution being acquired. An effective structured solution acquisition process, well-implemented and consistently applied, means dependable and repeatable solution acquisition and successful outcomes.
This presentation is on leveraging Enterprise Architecture Governance and Project Portfolio Management Best Practices to:

Digital Transformation And Enterprise ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
Digital transformation - extending and exposing business processes outside the organisation - by implementing a digital strategy – a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, operating model, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour through the delivery of digital solutions defined in a digital architecture – a future state application, data and technology view to achieve digital operating status - is potentially (very) complex.
Digital architecture does not exist in isolation entirely separate from an organisation’s overall enterprise architecture. Digital architecture must exist within the within the wider enterprise architecture context.
Enterprise architecture provides the tools and the approaches to manage the complexity of digital transformation.
The management function that drives digital transformation needs to involve the enterprise architecture function in the design and implementation of digital strategy and organisation, process and policies and the creation of a digital architecture. Management must appreciate the technology focus and the benefits of an enterprise architecture approach.
The early involvement of enterprise architecture increases successes and reduces failures. Management must trust and involve enterprise architecture. The enterprise architecture function must accept and rise to the challenge and deliver. The enterprise architecture function must allow its value to be measured.

Many organizations engage in initiatives to develop elaborate reference architectures, patterns and governance processes in an attempt to optimize their enterprise. They put significant effort into the upfront guidance of development teams, and then find themselves challenged to understand how closely an architecture matches the approved approach after the projects complete. Organizations must take a new approach to this problem!
More and more companies are turning towards processes as the cornerstone to transform their business. Additionally, this process-focus is resonating from an organization’s Information Services group as both an end user and champion of processes. This catalyst into process often arises as companies implement SAP.
Seneca Foods, a leading producer and distributor of processed fruits and vegetables, recently implemented SAP and is beginning down the path of process-based business transformation.
Carl Cichetti, CIO, Seneca Foods, and Todd Lohr, VP Business Transformation, Confiance, will show you how Seneca Foods partnered with Confiance to fast-track their process transformation effort.

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.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
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.

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.
