Several systems, that target large scale geo-replication, support multi-master operation and transient data divergence, allowing each site to update replicas with no immediate coordination. From the user application perspective, the system cannot be seen anymore as a single sequential copy, since now operations can be processed concurrently at different locations. Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) can take away a lot of the complexity when migrating from a sequential to a concurrent setting. In this talk we will explore a bit of the path in this transition, cover what can be expected, and present a few guiding principles. Concurrent behaviour will be explored for common data types, such as counters, registers, sets and sequences.

He is a Senior Researcher at the High Assurance Software Laboratory within INESC TEC. In the 90s, motivated by mobile computing and offline operation for file systems, he studied data types with merge operations over semi-lattices, a precursor to state-based CRDTs. As an academic, he believes on pursuing research that can have a practical impact. His work on causality tracking, scalable bloom filters, and CRDTs made its way into several products and systems, running in production worldwide. Away from computers he enjoys mountain climbing, and scavenging for old mechanical calculators.

While similar to traditional software development disciplines, AI engineering requires additional roles, skill sets, and techniques that make it challenging to implement successfully in organizations unfamiliar with AI. In this talk, Garrett Smith, founder of Guild AI, will discuss the process of creating AI applications and the roles involved, with an emphasis on software engineering. Garrett will highlight the key differences between AI application development and traditional programming. If you or your organisation is interested in building AI competency, this talk will give you an outline for understanding and approaching the various problems you will face.

This is their secret sauce for managing concurrency. HTTP is the primary means of communicating between clients and servers, and often between servers and other servers, it is a protocol for message passing. Raxx is an Elixir toolkit that treats HTTP interactions as just another kind of message. These external messages are handled in a way completely analagous to internal messages between processes. This talk will start with an explanation of the core concepts and getting started with Raxx. Extending message passing to all parts of a system provides a uniform model to describe it. This talk will explore how to use this model to reason about interactions in an extended web application, from server to browser to human.

Now a full time Elixir developer, at paywithcurl.com, I get the joy of using it everyday. Currently I am interested in the topic causality and consistency and looking into how these concepts can be part of our languages.

CLAUDE SHANNON, THE FOUNDER OF INFORMATION THEORY by Jimmy Soni THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Engaging Fun Unique TALK LEVEL: Beginner ABSTRACT The talk focuses on the life, times, and thought of Claude Shannon, the famed founder of the information theory. Claude Shannon is one of the foremost intellects of the twentieth century and the architect of the Information Age, whose insights stand behind every computer built, email sent, video streamed, and webpage loaded. He was a groundbreaking polymath, a brilliant tinkerer, and a digital pioneer. He constructed the first wearable computer, outfoxed Vegas casinos, and built juggling robots. He also wrote the seminal text of the digital revolution, which has been called “the Magna Carta of the Information Age.” Read the full abstract: http://codesync.global/speaker/jimmy-soni/ --- THE SPEAKER - JIMMY SONI Award-winning Author Jimmy is a New York based author, editor, and speechwriter. He's the co-author of Rome's Last Citizen, a biography of the ancient Roman Senator Cato, and A Mind at Play, a biography of the late mathematician Claude Shannon. The latter book won the Neumann Prize for the top book in the history of mathematics for 2017 and was named one of the best books of the year by Nature and Bloomberg. Jimmy has also served as an editor at the Huffington Post, the New York Observer, and the Washington Examiner.

Adding new capabilities requires more and more processing power. When it gets impossible to keep everything on just ten servers, we have to scale the cluster to a hundred. When a hundred gets too tight, we expand it to 1,000. What’s next? 10,000? And how is it possible, considering current scalability limits of a single Erlang cluster? This talk will guide you along the way we took to improve Erlang scalability, remove bottlenecks and increase efficiency of our Erlang-based applications.

There are too many nodes to communicate with and many algorithms that solve the problem tend to grow linearly with the number of nodes. The underlying network is a problem too, we can’t rely on hardware solutions as they wouldn’t be available in the cloud (e.g. Multicast). It’s also really complex to maintain an updated graph of nodes and even to store the graph itself, in large systems. Many distributed systems nowadays rely on Gossip protocols to share the state of the system among the nodes because they avoid these problems. A Gossip protocol is a communication protocol, a way of multicasting messages inspired by epidemics, human gossip, and social networks.

However, it is frequently misunderstood as a technical tool for making cold hard guarantees about code, rather than as a human tool for signalling intent and setting expectations. Never is this more apparent than when we consider what a "breaking change" means. It's highly contextual: it depends on which language you're using, what your public interface is, what guarantees you've explicitly or implicitly made to users, how much software sits downstream of you, and so on. In this talk James will explore several ways you can accidentally break other people's JavaScript apps, how to avoid them, and what to do when you can't. Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/james-coglan/ --- THE SPEAKER - JAMES COGLAN Open source developer and independent author James has been working in software for twelve years, primarily as a back-end web developer, most recently in the live music and online education sectors. He created the open-source web messaging system Faye, whose internals now form the basis of much WebSocket tooling in the Ruby and JavaScript ecosystems. James also enjoys hacking on language tools, creating the cross-language parser generator Canopy, and a toy logic programming language called Infer. James is the author of the book JavaScript Testing Recipes, and am working on a second called Building Git, available in 2019.
