One path to a successful implementation of NaturalONE | Software AG Join the Natural Administration team from Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and discover how they overcame programmer resistance to successfully implement and thrive using NaturalONE and DevOPs. Get tips and techniques as well as real-world samples of architecture, configuration and implementations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts successfully implemented NaturalONE in the spring of 2019, deploying the NaturalONE client to 40+ Windows 10 laptops, and upgraded to mainframe Natural V9 a few months later. We had a rocky start and a lot of resistance from senior programmers, but we survived and are thriving – even the programmer with Natural 1.2 mainframe editing experience has made the leap and is editing Natural code in NaturalONE. Join us as we share our experienced-based insights on the following topics: - How to get your programming staff to accept the change to NaturalONE - Overview of TX CPA NDV Architecture for Application Development Life Cycle - Sample an NDV configuration reference guide provided to NaturalONE users - Discuss differences between configuration files for NDV batch server and NDV server with the CICS adapter - How to set up NDV Monitor (NATMOPI) - Review pre-requisites/restrictions to adhere to for NDV CICS Adapter - External Security Configuration requirements you won’t want to miss - How do I DEBUG code in NaturalONE? (Just an overview reference) - Lessons learned from issues we encountered, so you can have a smoother implementation - Tips and techniques for using NaturalONE features that highlight the power of the NaturalONE IDE To learn more about Software AG’s NaturalOne, please visit https://www.softwareag.com/en_corporate/platform/adabas-natural/devops.html

One of the critical factors for development velocity is software correctness. Our ability to develop and ship new features fast is bounded by our ability to validate several aspects of the change: * Does the feature meet the requirements? * How does the feature affect existing code, and how can it affect the production environment? With continues codebase growth and new features being added, naturally our productivity decreases, and our need to improve the guarantees for quality and correctness increase. In this talk, I’ll focus on testing environments: why developers need a self-serve platform to create a full functioning environment on-demand, how such environments should be managed, and how can one restore part of the lost velocity. I’ll cover an internal system we use at AppsFlyer called ‘Namespaces’ that addresses the issue with the help of Mesos / Marathon, Docker, Traefik, and Consul.

Apache Beam (incubating) is a unified batch and streaming data processing programming model that is efficient and portable. Beam evolved from a decade of system-building at Google, and Beam pipelines run today on both open source (Apache Flink, Apache Spark) and proprietary (Google Cloud Dataflow) runners. This talk will focus on I/O and connectors in Apache Beam, specifically its APIs for efficient, parallel, adaptive I/O. Google will discuss how these APIs enable a Beam data processing pipeline runner to dynamically rebalance work at runtime, to work around stragglers, and to automatically scale up and down cluster size as a job’s workload changes. Together these APIs and techniques enable Apache Beam runners to efficiently use computing resources without compromising on performance or correctness. Practical examples and a demonstration of Beam will be included.

What are the opportunities and the challenges offered by emerging modes of technologically-inflected communication and decision-making? What is our role and responsibility as educators and as developers of research and teaching digital infrastructures? What do students need in the 21st century? As education institutions and providers struggle to respond to the first two questions, are we abrogating our responsibility to the last? In this talk, Matt Ratto will describe some of the opportunities and the challenges we currently face, laying out a model of action for how to potentially address the questions raised above. Core to his thinking are two related points; first that we must help students develop a greater sense of how the informational world and its attendant infrastructures helps shape how and what we think, and second, that a good way to do this is to give students the space to engage in reflexive acts of technological production – what Matt has termed ‘critical making.’ He will provide concrete examples from both his research and his teaching that demonstrate the value and importance of reflexive, hands-on work with digital technologies in helping students develop the critical digital literacy skills they need to function in today’s society. Matt Ratto is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto and directs the Semaphore Research cluster on Inclusive Design, Mobile and Pervasive Computing and, as part of Semaphore, the Critical Making lab.

There is a prevailing belief that users are the weakest link the security chain. In this presentation, Dr. Chiasson discusses how this perspective is inherently counterproductive to achieving increased cyber security and explore alternatives with a higher chance of improving security. Why do users behave insecurely even though most will readily state that security and privacy are important? This talk will cover some of our recent research exploring reasons why users' actions do not necessarily reflect their desire for security and how the configuration of security systems may actually weaken security in practice. She presents her work using eye-tracking to determine how users make phishing determinations, and how we can persuade users to behave more securely through improving their mental models of passwords and by making adjustments to the system configurations.

Serious threats to private and governmental organizations do not only come from the outside world, but also come from within. Some employees and contractors with legitimate access to buildings, networks, assets and information deliberately misuse their priviledged access to cause harm to their organization. What are the reasons behind their actions? Is it debts, greed, ideology, disgruntlement, or divided loyalty? Regardless of their motivations or vulnerabilities, traitors have very similar types of personality and display a certain pattern of behaviours before committing an insider incident. As a prevention measure, it is vital that organizations and employees understand, recognize and detect the common indicators of insider threat. Would you recognize the signs? Mario Vachon is an Insider Threat Security Specialist with the RCMP Departmental Security Branch.

Canada allocates a substantial amount of public funding to research, which is a critical factor in ensuring we remain innovative and competitive. Increasingly this funding is geared to the support and development of digital research infrastructure (DRI), including the underlying networks and the associated data acquisition, storage, analysis and visualization. In order to maximize the benefits of increasingly complex DRI and the research it facilitates, it is important to make sure data is properly stewarded, accessible and reusable. By adopting appropriate approaches to research data management we are better positioned to respond to challenges, such as effectively measuring research impacts, and ensuring the reproducibility, privacy, and security of research outputs. Research Data Canada (RDC) is a member-driven organization committed to developing a sustainable approach to research data management, one based on interoperability and best practices. This session will provide an update on the efforts of RDC and partner organizations, including: CANARIE, Compute Canada, CARL Portage Network, CASRAI, the TriAgencies, and the Leadership Council for Digital Infrastructure. Intersections with international activities and projects will also be highlighted. These efforts are ultimately designed to faciliate a cohesive national approach to research data management, and one based on a clearly articulated vision for supporting innovation and discovery in Canada. Mark Leggott is the Executive Director of Research Data Canada.

The Internet has revolutionized how — and how much — each of us can know. Our digital tools put the knowledge of the world at our fingertips — and soon, maybe, right into our heads. But what kinds of of knowledge do our devices give us, and how are they reshaping and challenging the role that education and libraries should play in our lives? This talk was delivered by Michael Patrick Lynch, professor of philosophy at the University of Connecticut, where he directs the university’s Humanities Institute.

Cyber Summit 2016: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data

Cybera Inc.

Although there is no well-established definition of big data, its main characteristic is its sheer volume. Large volumes of data are generated by people (e.g., via social media) and by technology, including sensors (e.g., cameras, microphones), trackers (e.g., RFID tags, web surfing behavior) and other devices (e.g., mobile phones, wearables for self-surveillance/quantified self), whether or not they are connected to the Internet of Things. However, the large volumes of data needed to capitalize on the benefits of big data can to some extent also be established by the reuse of existing data, a source that is sometimes overlooked. Data can be reused for purposes similar to that for which it was initially collected, but also beyond these purposes. Similarly, data can be reused in its original context, but also beyond this context. However, such repurposing and recontextualizing of data may lead to privacy issues. For instance, data reuse may lead to issues regarding informed consent and informational self-determination. When the data is used for profiling and other types of predictive analytics, also issues regarding stigmatization and discrimination may arise. This presentation by Bart Custers, Head of Research, eLaw – Center for Law and Digital Technologies at Leiden University, The Netherlands, focuses on the privacy issues of big data sharing and reuse and how these issues could be addressed.

Stephen Childs was hired by the University of Calgary to develop an individual-level predictive model mapping students' decisions to attend the University. In his experience, the higher education sector was slow to use all the data it has available, but this is now changing. As interest in making use of organizational data grows, staff must consider how these models will be used, and any problems that could arise. When individual predictions become the basis for decisions, how do we ensure our algorithms don't make existing problems worse? A framework for handling these issues now will let organizations handle these issues in a way that is consistent with their values. Given the culture of today's institutions, and the success of predictive analytics in other fields, there is no doubt that these tools will be used. These techniques can improve student success and the competitiveness of educational organizations, but the benefits should not be gained at the expense of individuals within the system. This talk will propose a set of best practices for using institutional data for predictive modelling to address equity, privacy and other concerns. We must start thinking of this now, before other practices become entrenched.

Canada’s National Research and Education Network, like other ultra-speed research networks, has evolved to transfer massive amounts of data at 100Gbps and beyond. But with the volume of data traffic growing at more than 50% per year, the ability to move increasing volumes of data is challenging. What are the kinds of applications in research and education that are driving this growth? What are the implications of the coming data tsunami on our communication networks? And what happens to network economics to keep up with the demand? CANARIE’s Chief Technology Officer, Mark Wolff, explores these topics and offer insights into how the NREN will evolve to continue to meet the unique needs of Canada’s research and education community.

The law has long struggled to keep pace with the rapid change that comes with the Internet and new technologies. From the cross-border challenges posed by a global network to the privacy implications of big data, law and policy simply cannot move at “Internet speed.” Yet despite the difficulties, politicians and policy makers increasingly find themselves at the heart of emerging policy issues, asked to address the balance between privacy and surveillance, the competing copyright interests of creators and users, and the market structure for network providers and disruptive competitors. This keynote talk will explore the emerging law and policy challenges, highlighting how all Internet users have the opportunity to help shape the digital policy landscape. Dr. Michael Geist is a law professor at the University of Ottawa where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law.

Historically, the University of Alberta lacked a centrally managed repository for reporting data, resulting in inconsistency and disparity in access for units across campus. Meaningful and actionable reports were limited, and only focused on the interests and goals of the few units with data analysts who could synthesize the information. Over the last couple of years, the University of Alberta has undertaken major changes in how information is managed and utilized. At the forefront of this change has been an increased interest in supporting the development of analytics and supporting tools. Beginning with the implementation of a centrally managed data warehouse with self-service capabilities, and the introduction of cloud services with business process analysis tools, the University is just starting down the road of big data. This presentation explores opportunities and challenges for the University of Alberta in utilizing big data.

The next generation of data scientists will be asked to build predictive models that can extract inferences from very large datasets which are unobservable at the surface, even to the best domain experts. Microsoft has access to some truly large data sets, web and search data from the Bing search engine and social data through collaborations with Twitter. In this talk, we show you how a small team of data scientists used this data to build the Bing Predicts engine — a collection of machine learnt predictive models that is beating industry experts at predicting the outcome of events like the Super Bowl, the Oscars, elections and referendums and even breakthroughs in health sciences. The talk will also give a preview of how organizations can adopt a big data mindset to generate and experiment with large data sets and to make amazing predictions using their own data.

Are MOOC's past their peak?

While the use of online instructional technologies allows the presentation of theoretical science materials, how do we deal with the fact that such courses often include hands-on labs? Laboratory simulations can only provide a solution for online students in a limited and often artificial way. Nearly 20 years ago, Athabasca University developed a solution to the problem of students having to travel to complete their lab work. Emerging technologies at the time allowed for quantitative physics labs to be sent to students as a small kit. The physics initiative was so successful, with over 5,000 students served, that it was picked up in other fields at Athabasca University. Over the years, such material has become cheaper, easier to use, and more integrated with modern computers. Athabasca is now pioneering ways to put real labs directly onto the internet. In this session, the methods used to make real lab experiences available to online students will be discussed, and some of them demonstrated.
