Donald Brancato, Microfocus
Keynote: Data and Value in a Time of Uncertain Value
09:10 – 09:50 | HUB385 Academy
The news of the past year regards Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, and even GDPR, has mounted a new campaign of interest on just what is ‘data science.’ And for that matter, what is ‘data engineering’? Compound the ‘what is this all about’ with more news on agility, standards, IoT, smart ‘almost anything,’ and the world has heard a lot! Have you heard about ‘dataOps’?
We’ll examine data science, a definition, and perhaps its history and current traditions, patterns. Who the practitioners are and who uses the data, information, or graphic that the data story tells. How ethics and value are, and will continue to be, a topic of debate, rationalization until common contextual patterns evolve.

Vuk Vuković, ORACLUM
Keynote: The polls were wrong! Our predictions were wrong! How can we fix that?
09:50 – 10:30 | HUB385 Academy
Predictions are hard, especially about the future“, so said the famous NY Yankees player Yogi Berra. Why are we so bad at making predictions? We rely on, make, and listen to forecasts every day. Making predictions is a natural response in overcoming the knowledge deficit in a world filled with uncertainty. So if we know that people are prone to biases and overconfidence, can we still trust them to make good predictions? We at Oraclum say – yes we can! In fact we can use the people’s own groupthink biases to improve their predictions. How? We will show how during this keynote!

Chris Roche
Keynote: Delivering a collaborative Data Science platform for Clinical Research
11:30 – 12:10 | HUB385 Academy
Execution is a powerful thing. Generating great ideas is easy but a great idea without execution results in zero revenue for your business and in the clinical setting zero patient impact. Collaboration and data are acknowledged as disruptive forces that can transform clinical research yet the current fragmented system acts as an anchor to the past challenging any attempts to change. Having built and delivered a collaborative data science platform for clinical and biomedical research, in this keynote, Chris will share his learnings on how to accelerate a data science-based platform as a service business and discuss some of the research use cases that took advantage of the platform

CAL3 Why would anyone share anything personal with you?
14:50 – 15:20 | HUB385 Academy Room B
We talk a lot about sorting, analysing and generally making sense of data. Many enterprises have big plans about what they will do with all the new data they plan to obtain from their customers and then get unpleasantly surprised when their customers say: “No, you can’t have this.“ With more control and more knowledge customers are becoming aware of the privacy issues, the value of their data, and are asking the following question: “If I share this with you, what will you give me in return, and how do I know you won’t use it against me?“
We’ll discuss some of the answers to this questions and I will present several successful and unsuccessful real-world use-cases in this session.

09:00 – 17:00 | HUB385 Academy Room A
As the computer systems are getting more complicated, testers and people responsible for testing have to manage testing efforts that are getting bigger and bigger and changing often. Traditional testing on its own is not enough anymore to keep up with the development. Exploratory testing makes it possible to utilize testing experience and to carry out all the activities more efficient, and thus enables spending the time saved in documentation in a more sensible way. During this course you learn about exploratory testing in an interactive way with practical exercises. Interactive exercises improve the challenging thinking skills of exploratory testing. You also learn about the matters affecting the choices of how to conduct testing and about managing exploratory testing.
Note that this is a full day workshop, with 20 people limit and separate paid enrollment (500kn)

WKS4 Data Warehouse & Big Data: What has Changed?
11:00 – 12:30 | HUB385 Academy Room D
In the past few yearS, one of the biggest questions in the world of analytics is whether the rise of Big Data implies the dawn of Data Warehouses. Even with the development of Hadoop 2.0, the usage of Data Warehouses didn’t drop – on the opposite, having Big Data technologies by their side gave a possibility of augmenting the scope of analysed data. New concepts of hybrid warehouses built on the top of Data Lake architectures have risen and are currently implemented by major vendors. Whether the analytics system is built from scratch or is evolving from the Data Warehouse, there are several approaches to the design and implementation, each with their benefits.
Various tools that enable the interoperabililty of structured and unstructured data on all levels (integration and analytical) have been developed. The workshop will be based on the use cases for different challenged in the analytical system using the tools like Apache Impala.

WKS6 Cost, latency, and interoperability are the three dimension of IoT or IIoT
12:30 – 14:00 | HUB385 Academy Room B
Well will examine the story of missing data, the value of IoT, and a number of standards that are open and proprietary, and how global benefit is achieved as IoT becomes more prevalent, through open data, supporting autonomous ‘things’ communicating with other ‘things.’ While open standards will be a point of view I believe critical, what are our options and risk as we build enterprise solutions. API integration, dataStores in containers with microservices, smart gateways, industry/proprietary standards, and even confidence intervals maybe the tools of choice! Break out your dusty copies of Dr Deming’s guide to statistical process control and the PLC workbench guide, because we are going to discuss factories, and the merging of OT and IT.
Lastly, what would an agenda for a data science education look like? Should data scientists or engineers be licensed, certified? What might the curriculum look like, or entail. We will examine what could be topics for aspiring or practicing data workers today.
