In a complex enterprise virtualized environment, knowing how to identify the workload isn't always easy. However, those who are serious about real 'cloud' benefits make this an important part of their project vision and ensuing architecture.
Web-enabling Mainframe Applications discusses five methods for extending legacy mainframe applications: refacing, repurposing, restructuring, reengineering, and replacing. Refacing involves putting a graphical user interface on green screens. Repurposing changes an application's purpose using business rules. Restructuring breaks applications into presentation, data, and connectivity layers. Reengineering completely rewrites applications. Replacing substitutes applications with ERP packages. The document describes Attachmate products that implement these methods like e-Vantage for refacing, repurposing, and integrating applications.
Modern application lifecycle management (ALM) involves integrating requirements management, architecture, coding, testing, tracking, and release management using tools like Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server (VS-TFS). VS-TFS provides features for managing projects from planning through release including requirements management, iteration planning, source control, builds, testing, and reporting. It supports collaboration through team rooms and integration with other Microsoft products provides visibility across the development lifecycle.
A rule engine is a software system that executes business rules in a production environment. There are two main types of rule engines: forward chaining, which repeatedly applies rules to infer new facts from existing facts, and backward chaining, which works backwards from goals to find facts that support those goals. Business rule engines are useful when traditional programming cannot easily adapt to changing business rules, as they allow non-technical users to modify rules without requiring code changes.

Do microservices dream about CQRS-ES, Kafka Stream and BPMN ? - Voxxed micros...Cedric Vidal
Like many other software vendors Quicksign has chosen to migrate its SAAS platform from an on-premise monolith to a microservices platform in the Cloud.
Using a modern tech stack including Kafka, Kubernetes, the Camunda BPMN engine and some in-house development we have built a Kappa CQRS-ES multi-tenant platform able to execute BPMN workflows that can discover and consume any microservice registered in a Kubernetes backed extended registry that allows content type and protocol negotiation.
Our platform leverages Kafka Streams to dynamically generate from a reactive stream of workflow events a bespoke REST-API (HATEOAS) representation so as to ease our customers’ integration effort and allow fast iterations.
We propose to briefly introduce the audience to BPMN and then expose the rationale that led us to build this architecture, its advantages in terms of agility and scalability.

WSO2Con EU 2016: Building Enterprise Apps Using WSO2 PlatformWSO2
Enterprise applications have their own requirements. For example, they should be scalable, highly available and secured. While developing them, you might have to integrate several systems, adopt latest architectural concepts such as microservices, make your application a SaaS or expose your enterprise data as APIs. After the app is in production, you might need to collect statistics around it for further insight.
WSO2’s comprehensive 100% open source platform can help you to achieve these objectives while cutting down time-to-market. This session will discuss how you can build enterprise applications with the WSO2 product stack.
The document discusses the financial impacts of cloud computing. It defines various cloud service models like SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and provides examples. Moving workloads to the cloud can significantly reduce IT costs by eliminating upfront hardware/software costs and allowing companies to pay based on usage and scale resources up or down as needed.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
