There are three main types of business intelligence tools: reporting tools that generate structured reports, data mining tools that find patterns and relationships in data, and knowledge management tools that store and share employee knowledge. Data warehouses and data marts standardize and prepare operational and third party data for analysis to address inconsistent and missing data problems. Reporting and data mining applications then use business intelligence tools to analyze this structured data and deliver insights.
E-commerce involves the buying and selling of goods and services over computer networks. There are three main types of e-commerce transactions: B2C (business to consumer), B2B (business to business), and B2G (business to government). Key technologies that enable e-commerce include HTML, hyperlinks, web servers, databases, and commerce server software. Web 2.0 emphasizes user participation, collaboration, and social networking, which is important for businesses to engage customers and promote products through user-generated content and viral marketing. Information systems can enhance supply chain performance by improving the flow of transactional and informational data between organizations to optimize facilities, inventory, transportation, and information management.

ScyllaDB Leaps Forward with Dor Laor, CEO of ScyllaDBScyllaDB
Join ScyllaDB’s CEO, Dor Laor, as he introduces the revolutionary tablet architecture that makes one of the fastest databases fully elastic. Dor will also detail the significant advancements in ScyllaDB Cloud’s security and elasticity features as well as the speed boost that ScyllaDB Enterprise 2024.1 received.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.
So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.

Current Systems and Requirements for ERP System
ERP Implementation
Big-Bang vs. Phased In Approach
Conclusion and Questions
3. Company Background
3
World’s largest manufacture of storage devices
Largest producer of server and PC hard drives in 1996
Revenue of $4.4 billion
Purchased Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC) storage business
in October 1994
Competitors – Seagate, IBM, and Western Digital
Outsource production of hard drives
4. Current Situation
Legacy systems
Material requirement planning (MRP) system maintained
separate databases and transactions had to be manually
consolidated
Delays in obtaining updated information
Acquisition of DEC caused implementation issues
4
5. ERP Project – Started April 1994
Worldwide Ask Replacement System - WARP
Three project teams
Steering committee – VP’s of Finance, IS, Logistics,
Manufacturing, Purchasing, Sales, and Rep. from PW
Core team – 16 managers from department and business
units
Project team (100 Members) – Members from IS and
business unit key employees
Teams analyzed and improved business process
Selected Oracle, HP, and Price Waterhouse to assist with
ERP implementation
Oracle 7 Database, Oracle Financial, and Manufacturing
Modules
Expected implementation in Summer of 1995
5
6. Problems with the ERP Implementation
Acquisition of DEC slowed implementation process of ERP
System
Project was more complex with the acquisition of DEC
Duplicate systems, processes, and artifacts
Project was put on hold – Project teams focused on the DEC
acquisition (October 1994)
ERP was restarted in January of 1995
Project team had to redo a large part of the original ERP
implementation in order to take into account the DEC
acquisition
6
7. Quantum’s Current Systems
Nine different legacy systems that could not share
information
Legacy system kept each division’s transactions in separate
functional and business unit databases
Information was manually consolidated, since databases
could not share information
Gathering faxes, emails, and written information took four
days
Closing the books took seventeen days
Inventory availability could not be confirmed and delivery
could take days or weeks
7
8. Quantum’s Requirements for ERP System
Sales people to take and confirm an order in real time.
Sales have to be able to confirm a delivery time and follow
up to ensure that order was delivered in real time
Ability to access current inventory and to reserve that order
for the customer in real time
ATP (Available To Promise) – ability to confirm and allocate
inventory
8
9. ERP Implementation
Phased implementation:
Like the name implies means
that modules are
implemented one at a time or
in a group of modules –often
at a single location before
moving on to more locations.
The installation of phase one could be
the implementation of finance,
controlling, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, and purchasing
modules.
Phase two could be to include
materials management, production
planning, and quality planning
modules.
Following phases mean the
deployment and implementation of
remaining modules over a period of
time.
9
“Phased” and “big-bang” are the two primary approaches used to
implement ERP systems.
10. Big-Bang Implementation
Big-Bang Implementation: “everything is
changed at once!” Once an ERP solution has been
chosen to meet organizational needs –the system
goes from a test version to being the actual
system used to capture transactions in only a
matter of days.
10
11. ERP Implementation:
Consideration Factors
Organizational size and complexity. This includes
factors related to the type of product that organization sells
and the size and complexity of the customer
The organizations hierarchy and controls. Flat
organizations with loose controls would have more difficulty
deploying a phased implementation because its difficult to
maintain commitment throughout the process. Organizations
that have extensive hierarchy and tighter controls have the
necessary mechanisms in place to sustain a phased
approach
Extent of the implementation: based on the number
of modules and the degree to which the organization
changes those modules.
