advertised, 99% of respondents said they
would take action: [Apigee2012]

Profiling Learners with Special Needs for Custom E-Learning Experiences, a Cl...Silvia Mirri

This document proposes a complete profiling approach for e-learners that combines learner profiles describing accessibility needs (ACCLIP) with device profiles describing technical capabilities (CC/PP). It presents two use cases where learner and device profiles are used to dynamically adapt e-learning content. The profiling approach has been implemented in a web-based learning system that can customize multimedia content based on learner needs and device capabilities.

Transactional Outbox & Inbox Patterns.pptxMaysam Mousa

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Transactional Outbox Pattern and the Inbox Pattern, two essential techniques for ensuring reliable and consistent communication in distributed systems. We start by clearly outlining the problem these patterns aim to solve��namely, maintaining data consistency between databases and message brokers in event-driven architectures. From there, we delve into what the Outbox Pattern is, how it works under the hood, and how it guarantees message delivery even in the face of failures. The presentation then shifts focus to the Inbox Pattern, explaining its role in ensuring idempotency and preventing duplicate processing of messages. Each concept is explained with simple language, diagrams, and a logical flow that builds a solid understanding from the ground up. Whether you��re an engineer building microservices or just exploring distributed system patterns, this talk provides clarity, practical insights, and a helpful demo to see the patterns in action. Topics Covered: * Problem Statement * Transactional Outbox Pattern * How It Solves the Problem * Internal Mechanics * Delivery Guarantees * Inbox Pattern Explained * Internal Workflow * Conclusions & Further Reading * Demo

Today, the authorization world is fractured - each vendor supports its own APIs & protocols. But this is about to change: OpenID AuthZEN was created in late 2023 to establish much-needed modern authorization standards. As of late 2024, AuthZEN has a stable Implementers Draft, and is expected to reach Final Specification in 2025. With AuthZEN, IAM teams can confidently externalize and standardize authorization across their application estate without being locked in to a proprietary API. This session will describe the state of modern authorization, review the AuthZEN API, and demo our 15 interoperable implementations.

AI in Talent Acquisition: Boosting HiringBeyond Chiefs

AI is transforming talent acquisition by streamlining recruitment processes, enhancing decision-making, and delivering personalized candidate experiences. By automating repetitive tasks such as resume screening and interview scheduling, AI significantly reduces hiring costs and improves efficiency, allowing HR teams to focus on strategic initiatives. Additionally, AI-driven analytics help recruiters identify top talent more accurately, leading to better hiring decisions. However, despite these advantages, organizations must address challenges such as AI bias, integration complexities, and resistance to adoption to fully realize its potential. Embracing AI in recruitment can provide a competitive edge, but success depends on aligning technology with business goals and ensuring ethical, unbiased implementation.

Automated Engineering of Domain-Specific Metamorphic Testing EnvironmentsPablo G��mez Abajo

Context. Testing is essential to improve the correctness of software systems. Metamorphic testing (MT) is an approach especially suited when the system under test lacks oracles, or they are expensive to compute. However, building an MT environment for a particular domain (e.g., cloud simulation, model transformation, machine learning) requires substantial effort. Objective. Our goal is to facilitate the construction of MT environments for specific domains. Method. We propose a model-driven engineering approach to automate the construction of MT environments. Starting from a meta-model capturing the domain concepts, and a description of the domain execution environment, our approach produces an MT environment featuring comprehensive support for the MT process. This includes the definition of domain-specific metamorphic relations, their evaluation, detailed reporting of the testing results, and the automated search-based generation of follow-up test cases. Results. Our method is supported by an extensible platform for Eclipse, called Gotten. We demonstrate its effectiveness by creating an MT environment for simulation-based testing of data centres and comparing with existing tools; its suitability to conduct MT processes by replicating previous experiments; and its generality by building another MT environment for video streaming APIs. Conclusion. Gotten is the first platform targeted at reducing the development effort of domain-specific MT environments. The environments created with Gotten facilitate the specification of metamorphic relations, their evaluation, and the generation of new test cases.
