Alarming in the industrial controls sector plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of automated systems. This process involves monitoring key parameters of industrial equipment and processes, generating alerts when predefined thresholds are breached, and enabling timely intervention to prevent malfunctions or safety incidents. Alarming systems are designed to...

Step into the world of quantum coding with QuantumConnect, where you will craft your own Java programs to compete in a Connect 4-style game tournament. Like quantum particles racing through a collider, your program will need to react swiftly and precisely to outmaneuver opponents. Participants will have 45 minutes to create and submit their solutions, which will then go head-to-head in...

Power BI seems easy: connect to some data, build a few visuals, publish a report, and suddenly everything looks beautifully data-driven. Then real life happens.
When starting a new project, you are not just building visuals. You are juggling different business needs and the many options Power BI offers.
In this session, I will take a practical tour of Power BI from A to Z, using my own...

Space technology has always been a fascinating topic that encompasses various fields of study. The current major space mission, Artemis II, to fly by the moon, has gripped the world’s attention. However, the amazing advancements in the field come with their own set of challenges now. Space has become congested and resource-constrained, which has now made the need for efficient and sustainable...

From monitoring infrastructure at CERN to tracking financial markets, time-series data is everywhere—and growing fast. This talk takes you inside time-series databases: how they ingest massive write loads, optimize storage, and enable fast analytical queries over time. Expect practical insights, trade-offs, and a clear mental model for working with data in motion.

This lecture is aimed at giving participants a fundamental understanding on how statistical machine learning models have gotten really good (at an uncanny level) at generating quality text over a short timespan of just a few years.
The talk will go over the fundamental building blocks, the major breakthroughs that were needed in order to reach our current level of model quality, and the new...

As we race toward an era of generative AI and hyper-automation, we often mistake the speed of our tools for the speed of our evolution. While technology undergoes exponential shifts, the fundamental architecture of human behavior has remained largely unchanged for millennia. The mechanics of how we trust, collaborate, succeed are still governed by the same ancient social instincts and...

Today’s AI can answer questions, generate ideas, and assist in decision-making with remarkable fluency. But beneath this intelligence lies a fundamental limitation: memory. If databases are the brain of traditional systems, vector databases are the memory that makes AI truly intelligent.
This presentation will take you on a journey into the memory layer of modern AI systems.

Today the advancement in Artificial Intelligence have brought us to a point where machines can assist in decision-making and interact with us in natural language. Yet beneath this impressive capability lies a fundamental limitation: these systems often rely on static knowledge, frozen at the time of their training.
Unlike humans, they do not naturally consult documents, verify facts, or...

How do you modernize a critical legacy system inside one of the world’s most complex scientific institutions — while keeping your users, your stakeholders, and your sanity intact?
At CERN, we’ve been rebuilding our enterprise document management platform — a core system supporting HR, finance, and everyday operations — moving from a large, tightly-coupled Java application to smaller backend...

Decision-making is often perceived as a rational and objec-

strates that humans also make decisions based on their judgment, which
is systematically influenced by cognitive biases - recurring patterns of de-

Modern software solutions rely on databases that are expected to operate continuously, serve geographically distributed users, and remain trustworthy under constant load. In such environments, a database is no longer a local component or a short‑lived project, but a long‑running service with explicit availability, performance, and reliability expectations.
This lecture explores what...

Most developers learn SQL by writing queries. Very few learn why some of those queries are thousands of times slower than others — or how to fix them. This lecture fills that gap, giving students a working mental model of how database indexes are structured, how the query planner decides whether to use them, and how to read the evidence when something goes wrong.

This lecture is aimed at being a more hands-on continuation of the LLM fundamentals course. Now that you are familiar with the building blocks of the large language model revolution, it is time to apply this knowledge to your own development workflows.
We'll be covering MCP and ACP, two protocols that enable a wide array of use-cases, allowing models to interact with each-other and with...

AI is moving beyond chatbots. This talk explores how AI is evolving from prompt-based assistants into agents that can use tools, read context, and support real development tasks. Using Power BI development examples, we will look at what works, what fails, and what agentic development really looks like behind the hype. -

The best way to understand Kubernetes security is to try to break it.
Kubernetes is the core of modern cloud infrastructure, but common misconfigurations can quickly turn it into an malicious actor's playground.
In this talk, we will go through the basic steps of a penetration testing procedure and explore different common misconfiguration and the damage they can provoke.

When a service behaves unexpectedly in production, there is no debugger to attach, no breakpoint to set, and no console to inspect. The only window into what is happening is the telemetry the system was instrumented to emit. This lecture introduces students to the three pillars of observability — logs, metrics, and distributed traces — and gives them the tools to instrument a real system and...

As autonomous systems become increasingly integrated into industrial, research, and everyday environments, the challenge is no longer only about building capable machines, but about designing systems that humans can understand, trust, and effectively collaborate and communicate with. Despite significant progress in autonomy and AI, many failures arise from a mismatch between machine behaviour...

Failure is not an exception in large‑scale data systems. It is an expected and recurring condition. Disks fail, nodes crash, networks partition, and systems must recover correctly without losing or corrupting data. In scientific computing environments, recovery is not just about uptime, but about preserving correctness, reproducibility, and trust in results.
This lecture focuses on how...
