Baptiste XAXA

Senior manager, head of JAVA division for Côte d’Azur agency

For 21 years, Baptiste combine his job and his passion for new technologies. Starting as a simple system and network engineer, he is now an architect and expert in automation and virtualization. He is always trying to find how to do more with less. More machines with less hardware, more applications with less machines, more services with less applications brings him on the road of docker. For 3 years, he’s been working on Ciena Blue Planet, a Multi-Domain Service Orchestration System built around the concept of container-based micro-services, giving him an accurate insight of what microservice means in real life.

Fun and rentability with Microservices

“Is your Time To Market increasing? Move to microservices! Everybody will love it. ”

This is precisely what we won’t be telling you in this talk.

 What are good reasons to perform this move? How should it be initiated?

When overwhelmed with microservices, which tools or practices would save your life?

These are the main questions we will try to address.

Armand LADEVEZE

Senior Manager at Sopra Steria



Developer, manager, architect…Through his different roles these last 15 years,

Armand has always been passionated about architecture & concepts (Event-driven, Domain Driven Design, Microservices…). Not only for the « Hype« , but surely for serving the cause of killing monoliths, freeing applications from their technical debt.

Having been lately part of a 2-years monolith-to-microservices migration, he has some insights of what’s behind this « microservices » buzzword.

Rules based engine and deep learning: an hybrid approach to the fab supervision in the semi conductor industry

Due to the versatility of the markets addressed, operational agility is essential to industrial success. This agility has a cost in terms of complexity and heterogeneity of information and control systems. Moreover, parallel to the deployment of automation, we experience an evolution in the manufacturing trades: products are manufactured in lesser quantity and larger variations. Given, this complexity, the human being finds more and more its place as a supervisor: it guarantees the smooth functioning of the system as a whole by being able to unlock as quickly as possible any abnormal situation. Still, AI and rule-based systems prove to provide interesting « complements » to help them focus on the real problems and their possible causes. By attempting to eliminate false positive alertings, the real pain of automatic supervision, we can provide truely useful « assistants » that help reduce stress. Hurence, a recognized specialist in Big Data systems, is setting up an hybrid system, mixing rules and supervised learning, that: detects abnormal situations in the production line in real time; provides real-time diagnostic assistance on the potential origin of the anomalies and the corrective actions to be taken. This system is based on a light and real-time Big Data architecture able to: process in real time the large volumes of industrial data driving the plant exploit the experience accumulated by operators through the use of a rules engine embark supervised learning in order to automatically improve the detection of abnormal situations and their diagnosis, with the objective of reducing the amount of false positives

Machine data in Industry 4.0: how to handle it better?

The rise of IoT and smart infrastructure has led to the generation of massive amounts of complex data. Traditional solutions struggle to cope with this shift, leading to a decrease in performance and an increase in cost. In this talk, we will take a look at this kind of data coming from real-world smart factory sensors. Participants will learn how to create a data pipeline for ingestion and visualisation. By the end of this session, we will be able to set up a highly scalable data pipeline for complex time series data with real-time query performance.

AI for Open Source Vulnerability Management

Application developers making use of open source components need to know whether those components comprise security vulnerabilities, understand their risk in the particular application context and mitigate accordingly. This vulnerability management can be automated using an open source solution called vulnerability-assessment-tool, developed by SAP and open sourced in 2018. This solution requires a vulnerability database with detailed information about the vulnerable source code and the respective security patch, all of which is difficult to obtain due to non-reliable standard sources of advisories and vulnerability data (such the National Vulnerability Database, NVD). In our previous research work, we treated source code changes as documents in natural language processing, potentially ignoring the structured nature of source code, in order to populate the database. We will give a brief overview of the directions of our most recent work, where we incorporate the semantic properties of code into our analysis by leveraging on state-of-the art approaches to generate distributed code representations by analyzing and aggregating paths extracted from the abstract syntax tree of the code.

Henrik Plate 

Senior Researcher at SAP Security Research

Henrik works as a Senior Researcher in the SAP Security Research team since 2007.

Before joining the SAP research group, Henrik held different positions as a software engineer, and studied computer science and business administration at the University of Mannheim. He holds a diploma from the University of Mannheim and is a CISSP.

Index your Data in open source

Datafari is a big data open source enterprise search solution. It can be used to index your hard drive, as well as the file shares of your organization, but also data from the web. Many crawling connectors make it multisource (Sharepoint, SMB, DBs, Web…). The difference with Elasticsearch? It is a layer above: Datafari is not only a search engine, it also provides a framework for crawling, it manages security, it provides a web interface, as well as a complete administration interface. In this initiation workshop, we will be presenting the tool and its architecture, and then we will dive directly into its installation and usage: installation of Datafari CE on your machine, first indexing and configuration, customizing of the UI. With this, you can go back home with a technology that is easy to install and providing you with a search that is multisources and multiformats.

Prerequisites:

participants must come with a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM. Preferences, the laptop must be under Linux to be able to do the installation phase. If the laptops are on windows, we will skip the installation step.
