Session: Are You Activating Cloud Economics? †

• 9:00-11:00 AM, James Staten, Vice President, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research
  • We all know clouds can save you money through their pay-per-use pricing model and deliver productivity benefits by being highly automated but do you really understand the new economic model they present? Are you coding, configuring, capacity planning and monitoring and orchestrating your applications to turn these economics in your favor? In my session I’ll discuss how others are doing this and how you can too.

Session: Building the Overmind: AI and Autonomic Clouds †

• Researchers in artificial intelligence are starting to look for new challenges after having worked on problems such as chess, checkers or backgammon. One recent example is the question/answer system from IBM, Watson, that played in Jeopardy!. Starcraft is one of the most successful real time strategy (RTS) games ever made, and RTS games present many of the challenges and open problems that one finds in artificial intelligence. In my talk, I will link the concepts that the Berkeley Overmind used to win the first Starcraft AI competition with some of the cloud computing challenges.
