How we managed to manage 89.000+ mailboxes (so far) Everybody who has worked in IT sometimes dream of how platforms such as GMail or Hotmail are made and managed. While not nearly as big as those, at JouwWeb we currently manage 89.000+ mailboxes which haven't been exempted from challenges and, to be honest, our fair share of failures as well. In this talk I'll take you around the basics of the current setup explaining some challenges we faced and how we managed to solve them. Note: after subscribing, showing up is mandatory!

ASML lithography systems are used to produce microchips with nanometer accuracy. Due to a rapidly growing demand for chips, it is of high importance to keep these machine up and running as much as possible. A key aspect of this is that needed service actions can be executed when needed. For this, the correct service parts need to be available.
During this lunch lecture it will be explained how mathematics is used to do a proper trade-off between meeting customers agreements and improving the machines up time while reducing the total cost for having spares on stock.

During this lunch lecture Petrus Bult and Ruben Kwant will tell you what the life of a mathematician at the Mathware department of Sioux Technologies looks like. After giving you a general introduction about Mathware we will tell you about two projects. First Petrus will tell you about a project he did for PhenomWorld. PhenomWorld is a company that makes cutting edge low-cost electron microscopes. These electron microscopes can be used to create high-resolution images of materials and structures. However, their images suffered from an image distortion effect they called ‘flagging’, caused by vibrations in the imaging system. At Mathware, we tackled this challenging problem for PhenomWorld, by creating a solution that significantly reduces flagging and improves image quality. In this talk, we will share the ins and outs of this project, from understanding the problem to delivering impactful results. Secondly Ruben will talk about a project Sioux did for Xyall. Sioux helped Xyall to design a machine which helps with molecular analysis of cancerous tissue. This machine needs to be able to position itself very accurately, and in this project Mathware helped with this problem using automatic alignments, where we used optimization and image analysis to overcome imperfections in the machine.

We are facing many societal and environmental challenges: the energy transition, climate adaptation, biodiversity collapse, circular economy, and large-scale replacement of infrastructure, to name just a few. These are large, complex, and multidisciplinary problems that involve many stakeholders whose interests often clash. Effectively applying IT allows you to take an integrated and iterative approach and is therefore a requirement to solve these problems. In this talk we will look at some of the societal and environmental challenges that we are facing today, how IT can help to tackle these challenges, and what your role as an IT professional can be in this.

Anago is a standard no/low-code cloudplatform for developing smart planning solutions such as operational planning, capacity planning, resource scheduling and strategic personell planning. A planning solution is modelled in Anago without the need of writing code. Data structures are modelled in terms of multi-dimensional data cubes and relations, advanced mathematical models are defined using smart building blocks and an extensive library of functions and end-user screens are defined by adding elements to the screen and defining properties. Over the years, the Anago solutions became larger and more complex. We needed to support multiple developers in the same project and features to support new developments and bug fixing in parallel.
During the lunch lecture we would like to tell you more about our path in connecting our no-code software platform to a distributed version control system such as Git. What do you do when you do not have code, but would like to have the source control features such as branching and merging, rolling back and shelve? What does work and what is not so great?
This lecture is given by Femke Berendsen (Developer, background Mathematics and Econometrics) and Thomas de Nooij (Founder, background Computer Science and Logistic Control Systems).

Every day, millions of users rely on millions of (unsafe) passwords, each one up for grabs by criminals as tokens to unlock vast amounts of data. A password is - in fact - nothing more or less than a secret. Still, we prefer to risk leaks and protect accounts by sharing our secrets with the internet. If you start sharing your secret, can it still be considered a secret?
During this session, Mark van der Linden – Software Architect at iO, will take you through a multitude of security measures that don’t rely on the use of passwords. Let’s amp up security and hold on to simplicity. Welcome to the age of passwordless authentication.
This activity has a maximum capacity of 135 participants. In case there are more then 135 people that want to attend, there will be a "first come, first serve" policy.
