Learn how drones aid in COVID-19 medical deliveries. In this hands-on workshop, you will use a digital twin of a quadcopter to collect simulation data, analyze collision avoidance controls and test scenarios to ensure the drone can accomplish its critical mission. The digital twin uses a physics-based modeling approach and incorporates the drone’s environment by streaming simulation data. You will walk away from the workshop with a better sense of why digital twins are an important topic in today’s industry.

We truly are experiencing AI’s golden era. The confluence of AI algorithms coming to reality, performance and economics of computational infrastructure, and explosion of IoT-fueled Big Data has kicked it off. It’s a great time for AI/Data Science experimentation, with a business’ competitive advantage and leap-frog opportunities up for grabs. As AI is being infused across all industries from fintech, to security, retail and energy, and as AI is being infused across your business in diverse ways, how is a steely-eyed SMB or enterprise IT management professional to roadmap a plan and put tools and equipment in their AI model developers’ and AI users’ hands? Join us in this thought-provoking keynote and Q&A where we’ll talk about the factors, options, and state-of-the-art on-premise AI that are now mature and ready for business, and present the case for IT managers to embrace on-premise AI computational resources as an alternative to, or augment, cloud-based AI services and deployment.

“Help! My management wants yet another opex report”. With all of the data that’s available in your mainframe environment, it’s challenging to figure out what you should focus on. Being able to rapidly understand what data is most important for your unique mainframe environment isn’t just a nice-to-have need, it’s mission critical. Learn how you can rapidly scan and analyze your mainframe environment using sophisticated analytics and machine learning to help identify the data that’s most important to your organization.

Rapid delivery of core business systems needs to be enterprise-wide, and DevOps is now mainstream, even on the mainframe. Your mainframe DevOps tool chain needs to integrate and communicate all aspects of the delivery lifecycle. Using REST-based APIs, ChangeMan ZMF can drive your mainframe deliveries faster than ever, while retaining rock-solid reliability and visibility. Join this session to see how hooking up mainframe DevOps delivery tooling is easier, and more productive than ever, using Micro Focus ChangeMan ZMF.

Most of z/OS sites run CICS to serve transactional applications.
These CICS environments are often very complex with thousands of different transaction codes running in hundreds of CICS regions hosted in multiple production systems.

A lot of measurements providing all the needed performance metrics and allowing to analyze in detail CICS transactions elapsed time are available in SMF 110 records.

Unfortunately, the number of these records is normally very big, so it is impossible to prepare and analyze reports showing all this data.
A statistical approach allowing to focus only on the CICS transactions experiencing an abnormal elapsed time is therefore needed.

In this presentation we discuss a possible approach we successfully implemented at some customers sites.
We will also describe a reporting drill down methodology that can be used to find problems very easily and follow up on improvement or degradation situations.

Java is ubiquitous in online services, yet ensuring Java applications’ availability and performance remains a challenging task. In this talk, we show how established industry approaches and widely-accepted beliefs about Java tuning are wrong and how AI breaks through long-standing limitations.

It seems you can’t throw a rock these days without it glancing off a shiny new application of ‘artificial intelligence’ or ‘machine learning’. Indeed, the promise of ‘AIOps’ proposes a transformational effect on our lives as operators and developers of complex systems. What, though, is AIOps? This is a question that many people are happy to answer, but I decided to take a deeper look. What I found may shock you, and it’s that I learned more about AIOps by cooking rice than I did from hours of research.

This talk will introduce you to the secrets behind AIOps, what you can learn from rice cookers, and a few takeaways about the role and application of automation in complex systems.
