Domain-Driven Transformation—Modularizing and Modernizing Legacy Software

Future of Engineering Stage — 45 minutes

Starting a new project from scratch with a clean slate is one thing; tackling legacy systems with chaotic architectures is another. Many teams inherit systems described as “Monoliths” or “Big Balls of Mud,” and this talk focuses on how to bring order to such challenges.
Participants will learn how to evaluate their current systems and identify steps to introduce—or restore—structure. Using Collaborative Modeling, attendees will gain actionable insights to design a clear and future-ready architecture. The talk will equip participants with practical strategies to address common challenges, such as BBOM architecture, anemic domain models, and disorganized teams. By the end of the session, attendees will have a catalog of proven refactorings, actionable heuristics, and concrete tools to immediately evolve their own projects. Read More...

Is the Specialist Dead? Being a software developer in the AI age

Future of Engineering Stage — 45 minutes

My journey in tech began with a Commodore 64. From there, I followed the industry's gravity: moving to the PC, finding a home on the Mac, and building a professional career through the mobile revolution—from the early days of feature phones and BlackBerry to the heights of Android.  We moved from direct memory access on those ealy machines to various architecture and abstractions.More recently, I transitioned into Full Stack development, seeking a broader view of the systems we build. It felt like the right moment. The world of engineering is changing drastically. Do we even still need the traditional split of specializations like mobile, frontend and backend developers? Grady Booch recently noted, we have entered the 3rd Golden Age of Software Development. I remember studying his software modeling techniques back at university.Is this the Renaissance of the Software Architect as we are moving past the ""move fast and break things"" era?

Me, Myself & AI: Compliance, Control and Trust in an Algorithmic Age

Cybersecurity Stage — 45 minutes

AI and machine learning promise transformative benefits, from efficiency and innovation to enhanced cyber defense. Yet this same technology is a double-edged sword. The rapid adoption of AI introduces new compliance challenges around data privacy, bias, transparency, third-party risk, and ethical use—often at a pace faster than organizations can govern. As automation enables cybercriminals to launch attacks at unprecedented scale, it simultaneously becomes one of our most powerful defensive tools. The question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to do so responsibly.This talk explores how emerging global regulations such as the EU AI Act, U.S. legislative efforts, NIS2 and DORA are reshaping accountability for organizations that create, deploy, or rely on AI systems—particularly through third parties. Taking a risk-based approach, we examine what “high-risk AI” really means, why regulatory clarity is essential to avoid stifling innovation, and how standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Governance), 23894 (AI Risk Management), and 27090 (AI Security Controls) can provide practical guardrails. With data sovereignty becoming a battleground, geopolitical tensions fragmenting technology ecosystems, and over half of security incidents now linked to third parties, compliance is converging into a single concept: Digital Trust.Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to integrate AI into compliance frameworks without losing control—knowing where their data is, who can access it, and which laws apply—while balancing innovation, security, and societal values. Because in an AI-driven world, trust isn’t a by-product of technology; it’s a strategic choice. Read More...

An Agent Walks Into a Bar... and Meets Another Agent: Multi-Agent Systems in Action

AI Stage — 45 minutes

In the world of AI, a single agent can accomplish a lot—but what happens when multiple agents enter the scene? This session is your ultimate guide to understanding multi-agent systems (MAS), the key to building scalable, intelligent, and collaborative AI solutions. We'll break down the core distinctions between single-agent and multi-agent architectures, explore real-world applications, and dive into the complexities of agent interaction, coordination, and fault tolerance. Whether you're designing autonomous trading bots, smart logistics networks, or AI-driven simulations, this talk will give you a solid foundation in MAS and its transformative potential. Get ready for a deep dive into the tech that’s reshaping AI collaboration!- Why one “super agent” quickly gets overwhelmed- How specialized agents working together outperform a jack-of-all-trades- The five orchestration patterns (Sequential, Concurrent, Group Chat, Handoff, Magnetic) that make multi-agent systems effective in real-world use cases- Where this is heading: emergent behaviors, cross-domain teams, and self-healing systems- How to start building your multi-agent systems Read More...
