Towards an Architectural Style for Multi-tenant Software ApplicationsHeiko Koziolek
Multi-tenant software applications serve different organizations from a single instance and help to save development, maintenance, and administration costs. The architectural concepts of these applications and their relation to emerging platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments are still not well understood, so that it is hard for many developers to design and implement such an application. Existing attempts at a structured documentation of the underlying concepts are either technology-specific or restricted to certain details. We propose documenting the concepts as a new architectural style. This paper initially describes the architectural properties, elements, views, and constraints of this style. We illustrate how the architectural elements are implemented in current PaaS environments, such as Force.com, Windows Azure, and Google App Engine.

SSIS gives you flexibility and power to manage your simple or complex ETL Projects using native SSIS features. But certain things still cannot be accomplished easily or are impossible to perform without extensive knowledge of programming. Task Factory is a collection of essential, high-performance components and tasks for SSIS that eliminate the need for programming. Using Task Factory can increase productivity and can give you a much higher level of performance.

A proportional resonant current controller for selective harmonic compensathareesh hari
This paper deals with reactive power compensation
and harmonics elimination inmedium-voltage industrial networks
using a hybrid active power filter. It proposes a hybrid filter as a
combination of a three-phase, two-level, voltage-source converter
connected in parallel with the inductor of a shunt, single-tuned,
passive filter. This topological structure greatly decreases the
voltage and current stress over the elements of the active filter.
Since the topology is composed of a single-tuned branch, the
control algorithm also has to ensure sufficient filtering at other
harmonic frequencies. We propose using a proportional-resonant,
multiloop controller. Since the controller is implemented in a
synchronous-reference frame, it allows us to use half the number
of resonators, compared with the solution using proportional-integral
controllers in the harmonic-reference frame. Theoretical
analyses and simulation results obtained from an actual industrial
network model in PSCAD verify the viability and effectiveness
of the proposed hybrid filter. In addition, the simulation results
are validated by a comparison with the results obtained from a
real-time digital simulator.
This presentation gives an overview about WSO2's technology platform as of Q2 2009. It gives an update about the ESB, the Web Services Application Server, Business Process Server as well as the re-branded Governance Registry and Identity Server.

SQLUG event: An evening in the cloud: the old, the new and the big Mike Martin
Belgian SQL UG talk On Windows Azure SQL Database and CO: The last couple of months have been very exciting times for Microsoft fans. With the release of the central flagship, SQL Server 2012, and the new and improved Cloud offering on Windows Azure, Microsoft managed to change the IT Landscape dramatically. During this talk we want to take you through all the SQL Server features in the Windows Azure Environment in either the full cloud spectrum or hybrid scenario’s. We’ll cover subjects like SQL Databases, IaaS, provisioning, integration, migration and touch some of the more computing topics in the Windows Azure when it comes to data. Going from the pure basics of all SQL related to the more advanced stuff you can do with this magnificent cloud platform.
Windows Azure for Developers - Service ManagementMichael Collier
With the Windows Azure Service Management API we can control nearly all aspects of a Windows Azure deployment. This allows us to easily manage areas such as deployments, service upgrades, and subscription management. Additionally, with the PowerShell cmdlets we gain even greater power over the management of a Windows Azure service. In this webcast, we will take a look at managing a Windows Azure service from a developer's point of view. We'll look at using both the Windows Azure Service Management API and PowerShell cmdlets to exercise control over our Windows Azure services.
The Windows Azure platform is a fairly feature rich environment. You can run your web applications there. You can run your data processing applications (services) there. But you don’t have to run your entire application there. You can run part of your application in “the cloud”, and part of your application on premise – giving you the best of both worlds. But why would you not put everything in the cloud? Perhaps you don’t need the massive computing power Windows Azure provides, but you would like a cheap an easily accessible data store. Maybe your application just isn’t ready, yet, to be run in the cloud. Whatever the reason, in this session you will learn the basics for creating a hybrid application which leverages various features of Windows Azure. You will see how to leverage Windows Azure’s rich features and APIs to extend your application to new heights.

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.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
