Paris Java User Group : Enabling Agile Business and IT Collaboration

Jan 16, 20130 likes346 views

The document discusses the need for systems to be designed to enable change. It notes that many aspects of a system can change, including code, configuration, data, models and more. The presenter advocates designing systems with change in mind using a change-oriented architecture. Specifically, the document recommends externalizing data and policies from code, creating reusable services, and using a business rules management system to help govern and implement changes in a controlled manner. It acknowledges that no single technology can address all change-related challenges but that a BRMS can assist with many aspects of managing changes.

“Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), is the slogan of France, coined around the time of the French Revolution. It also seems a pretty appropriate slogan for the mini revolution that is happening right now with CICS and WebSphere. The Liberty profile is a highly composable and dynamic application server runtime environment that is shipped as a part of both WebSphere and CICS. This session will introduce Liberty in CICS, compare the capability with WebSphere (note the ‘equality’ word) and discuss how these new Liberty applications can interact with and support the established fraternity of existing CICS applications that run your core business.

How to Balance System Speed and Risk for Multi-Platform InnovationClaudia Ring

Walking the line between speed to market and stability of mission-critical systems is something many enterprise organizations deal with on a consistent basis, especially when planning a major application release. Multi-speed IT is a term that connotes the difficulty of balancing speed and risk for these enterprises, but also one that inherently defines a solution; moving at different speeds depending on system requirements. While moving at various speeds based on whether you are releasing changes for Systems of Engagement (SOE) or Systems of Record (SOR) can seem negative, it can be used as a stepping stone towards complete enterprise agility and iterative improvements in release management across both types of systems. Join Rosalind Radcliffe, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect for DevOps, as she discusses; How to begin incorporating continuous testing into the release cycle for both SOE's and SOR's How deployment automation can be incorporated into multi-platform deployments How earlier, more frequent testing and automated deployments can help stabilize risk while increasing speed Customer success with using these testing and deployment solutions to achieve agility across both SOE's and SOR's

Building a right sized, do-anything runtime using OSGi technologies: a case s...mfrancis

The WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile uses several OSGi technologies in addition to the Equinox OSGi framework: Configuration Admin, Metatype, and Declarative Services being first and foremost among them. In this talk, I'll go over how Liberty uses these technologies to create a dynamic flexible runtime that can be right-sized based on the server's configuration. I'll share the lessons we've learned, and what we consider to be best practice for interacting with these three services. Bio: Erin Schnabel is the Development lead for the WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile. She has over 12 years of experience in the WebSphere Application Server development organization in various technical roles. Erin has over 15 years of experience working with Java and application middleware across various hardware platforms, including IBM z/OS®. She specializes in composable runtimes, including the application of OSGi, object-oriented and service-oriented technologies and design patterns to decompose existing software systems into flexible, composable units.

This document discusses business rule management and when a Business Rule Management System (BRMS) is needed. It defines business rules as statements that define how a business runs, such as compliance rules, validation rules, and calculations. A BRMS is described as a set of tools and processes that facilitate communicating, deploying, and executing business policies within an IT system. It allows business rules to be managed as enterprise assets and enables a rich development lifecycle for business policies. Key components of a BRMS include a rule engine, rule editors, and processes for managing the development and deployment of rules.

The document discusses how service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) can benefit from an approach using business rules. It notes that combining BPM and a business rules management system (BRMS) allows business logic to be externalized from processes, enabling changes without redesign. This increases agility by separating policy updates from code and process deployments. The document advocates designing coarse-grained services and managing externalized business rules for both architectural and business agility.

Building Connected Agents: An Overview of Google's ADK and A2A ProtocolSuresh Peiris

Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) provides a framework for building AI agents, including complex multi-agent systems. It offers tools for development, deployment, and orchestration. Complementing this, the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol is an open standard by Google that enables these AI agents, even if from different developers or frameworks, to communicate and collaborate effectively. A2A allows agents to discover each other's capabilities and work together on tasks. In essence, ADK helps create the agents, and A2A provides the common language for these connected agents to interact and form more powerful, interoperable AI solutions.

This is a case study of a three-part longitudinal research study with 100 prospects to understand their onboarding experiences. In part one, we performed a heuristic evaluation of the websites and the getting started experiences of our product and six competitors. In part two, prospective customers evaluated the website of our product and one other competitor (best performer from part one), chose one product they were most interested in trying, and explained why. After selecting the one they were most interested in, we asked them to create an account to understand their first impressions. In part three, we invited the same prospective customers back a week later for a follow-up session with their chosen product. They performed a series of tasks while sharing feedback throughout the process. We collected both quantitative and qualitative data to make actionable recommendations for marketing, product development, and engineering, highlighting the value of user-centered research in driving product and service improvements.

AI-proof your career by Olivier Vroom and David WIlliamsonUXPA Boston

This talk explores the evolving role of AI in UX design and the ongoing debate about whether AI might replace UX professionals. The discussion will explore how AI is shaping workflows, where human skills remain essential, and how designers can adapt. Attendees will gain insights into the ways AI can enhance creativity, streamline processes, and create new challenges for UX professionals. AI’s influence on UX is growing, from automating research analysis to generating design prototypes. While some believe AI could make most workers (including designers) obsolete, AI can also be seen as an enhancement rather than a replacement. This session, featuring two speakers, will examine both perspectives and provide practical ideas for integrating AI into design workflows, developing AI literacy, and staying adaptable as the field continues to change. The session will include a relatively long guided Q&A and discussion section, encouraging attendees to philosophize, share reflections, and explore open-ended questions about AI’s long-term impact on the UX profession.
