Auch im digitalen Leben gilt das Menschenrecht auf Teilhabe. Durch Hindernisse bei digitalen Lösungen werden Nutzer oft erst zu Behinderten gemacht. Die gewünschte Inklusion wird „online“ so fast eher zur Exklusion. Das muss sich dringend ändern! Alle Menschen müssen am digitalen Leben teilhaben können – als ihr Menschenrecht. Der Vortrag rüttelt wach im Hinblick auf die vielfältigen Miss-Stände in der digitalen Welt. Die öffentliche Hand ist längst verpflichtet, digitale Teilhabe durch Barrierefreiheit sicherzustellen. Ab 2025 gilt dies auch für die Privatwirtschaft – dank dem Europäischen Gesetz für Zugänglichkeit. IT-Entscheider und IT-Schaffende müssen dem Thema digitaler Barrierefreiheit also dringend Beachtung schenken. Emotional und empathisch setzt Peggy Reuter-Heinrich Impulse und inspiriert so zum Mitfühlen, Mitdenken und Mitwirken an gelingender digitaler Inklusion. Ziel der Expertin ist, den entscheidenden Wandel beim Publikum anzustoßen. Nach diesem Vortrag werden auch Sie zum überzeugten Mitgestalter digitaler Inklusion.
Peggy Reuter-Heinrich ist IT-Unternehmerin, UX-Designerin und Expertin für digitale Barrierefreiheit. Mit jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung aus über 500 Design-Lösungen, über 100 IT-Projekten und über 2.000 Trainings-Stunden weiß sie, was die Nutzer digitaler Lösungen wirklich brauchen und wollen. Nun strebt die mit einigen Awards geehrte UX-Designerin nach der höchsten Form von UX – nämlich sozial verantwortungsvolle Nutzer-Erlebnisse, welche die Teilhabe aller Menschen an der Digitalisierung ermöglicht. Ihre Mission einer menschenfreundlichen IT-Welt und ihr Wissen teilt Peggy in Büchern, Videos, Vorträgen, Schulungen und Beratungen. Mit Passion und Profession setzt sie sich für soziale Gerechtigkeit und Barrierefreiheit in der digitalen Welt ein. Das tut sie auch als Gründerin einer gemeinnützigen GmbH, die mittels IT hilft. Alles in allem inspiriert sie mit dem femininen Charme einer „Women in Tech“ andere Menschen zum Mitfühlen, Nachdenken, aber insbesondere zum Handeln.
Über Daten-Streaming und Apache Kafka redet die Welt. Kai Waehner, Field CTO bei Confluent, stellt uns in dieser Keynote die Prognosen für die fünf wichtigsten Use Cases und Architekturen in diesem Bereich für 2023 vor und welche Trends er bei Kunden industrieübergreifend feststellen konnte: Dezentraler Data Mesh: Fokussierung auf den Geschäftswert durch den Aufbau von Datenprodukten in unabhängigen Domänen mit verschiedenen Technologien. Cloud-natives Lakehouse: Anwendung einer Best-of-Breed-Unternehmensarchitektur für Echtzeit- und Batch-Datenanalysen mit dem richtigen Tool für jede Aufgabe (z.B. Databricks, Elastic, BigQuery, etc.). Daten-Sharing: Zusammenarbeit innerhalb und außerhalb des Unternehmens durch die gemeinsame Nutzung von Daten über offene APIs, Austausch von Streaming-Daten und Cluster Linking. Verbesserte Benutzerfreundlichkeit: Schnellere Markteinführung und einfachere Wartung durch bessere Entwicklertools, die verschiedene Personengruppen wie Entwickler, Citizen Integrators und Data Scientists unterstützen. Erweiterte Data Governance: Compliance und Datenschutz über alle Datenströme hinweg mit Data Lineage, Event Tracing, Policy Management und dem "Zurückdrehen" der Zeit zur retrospektiven Analyse von Events.
Kai Wähner ist Field CTO bei Confluent. Er arbeitet mit Kunden auf der ganzen Welt und mit internen Teams wie Engineering und Marketing zusammen. Kais Hauptfachgebiet liegt in den Bereichen Data Streaming, Analytics, Hybrid Cloud Architekturen, Internet of Things und Blockchain. Kai ist regelmäßiger Sprecher auf internationalen Konferenzen, schreibt Artikel für Fachzeitschriften und teilt seine Erfahrungen mit neuen Technologien auf seinem Blog.

- The race for performance and the variety of specialized workloads drives the industry to build more parallel, more heterogenous (multi accelerator), and distributed computing systems.
- These systems introduce programming challenges and barriers of entry to developers.
- Software solutions can make technologies like AI accessible, safer and easier to use by wider communities.
- We will present some of the driving forces, world trends, challenges, and emerging solutions such as oneAPI, AI reference Kits, federated learning and more and demonstrate how SW can be made simpler, safer, and more profitable.

Learn key patterns, practices, tools, and techniques which lead to successful cloud adoption. Lynn's work with research teams around genomic-scale data pipelines for human health will be highlighted in this keynote.
Independent Cloud Architect and Developer, Lynn is also the author of 35 cloud courses on Linked In Learning. She publishes GitHub (code) and Substack (articles).
Since the dawn of software development, programmers have been perpetually occupied with migrating our "legacy" code to "the new platform". As soon as we finish, it is obsolete, and we need to start over. Today we are typically in the midst of moving to the cloud. We need DevOps, microservices, new frontend frameworks ... there is always some new tool that promises to deliver much better value than our existing solutions. Millions - even billions - are spent on these initiatives. Are they worth it? For whom?
In this presentation we will go through various strategies and their tradeoffs. How can we work with our code bases, staff and users to maximise the actual value delivered? The answer will depend on many things. Be conscious of what exactly you are aiming to achieve.
Christin Gorman has more than 20 years experience with hands-on software development. She is currently working on a large migration project in the Norwegian healthcare sector. She has worked for both startups and large enterprises, on systems varying from real-time control systems to e-commerce. What is important in one field is not necessarily important in others. Both in writing and in presentations, she is known for her entertaining way of raising questions about established truths, and making people think about why they are working the way they do.
Sometimes controversial, but never boring.

As tiny robots become individually more sophisticated, and larger robots easier to mass produce, a breakdown of conventional disciplinary silos is enabling swarm engineering to be adopted across scales and applications, from nanomedicine to treat cancer, to cm-sized robots for large-scale environmental monitoring or intralogistics. This convergence of capabilities is facilitating the transfer of lessons learned from one scale to the other. Larger robots that work in the 1000s may operate in a way similar to reaction-diffusion systems at the nanoscale, while sophisticated microrobots may have individual capabilities that allow them to achieve swarm behaviour reminiscent of larger robots with memory, computation, and communication. Although the physics of these systems are fundamentally different, much of their emergent swarm behaviours can be abstracted to their ability to move and react to their local environment. This presents an opportunity to build a unified framework for the engineering of swarms across scales that makes use of machine learning to automatically discover suitable agent designs and behaviours, digital twins to seamlessly move between the digital and physical world, and user studies to explore how to make swarms safe and trustworthy. Such a framework would push the envelope of swarm capabilities, towards making swarms for people.
Sabine Hauert is Associate Professor of Swarm Engineering at University of Bristol. She leads a team of 20 researchers working on making swarms for people, and across scales, from nanorobots for cancer treatment, to larger robots for environmental monitoring, or logistics (https://hauertlab.com/). Before joining the University of Bristol, Sabine engineered swarms of nanoparticles for cancer treatment at MIT, and deployed swarms of flying robots at EPFL. She’s PI or Co-I on more than 30M GBP in grant funding and has served on national and international committees, including the UK Robotics Growth Partnership, the Royal Society Working Group on Machine Learning and Data Community of Interest, and several IEEE boards. She is President and Executive Trustee of non-profits robohub.org and aihub.org, which connect the robotics and AI communities to the public. As an expert in science communication, she is often invited to speak with media and at conferences (over 50 invited talks).
