Javed Mohammed from the Oracle Groundbreakers Developer Marketing Team speaks with three veterans helping to combat Covid.

Oracle’s COVID-19 therapeutic learning system is not just another APEX application  but it is also an Oracle cloud story, and it’s a human-technology story.  This application is used by patients to enter their health status as well as clinicians and physicians to track the efficacy of treatments for coronavirus. We go behind the scenes and hear the back story, from some of the developers, their roles and how it all got started and the road ahead.

Previous Podcasts have covered what low code platforms are and looked at the capabilities of such a platform, Oracle Application Express (APEX)

In this program a panel of three experts, share how a nationally visible program, Oracle’s COVID-19 Therapeutic Learning System was designed and built in record time. The panel features:

Joel R. Kallman, Senior Director, Software Development, Oracle America, Inc.

Jim Grisanzio from Oracle Developer Relations talks with Chip Baber from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) about the Oracle Code Innovate Program. The conversation centers around building the cloud community by working directly with developers — that's side by side, hands on coding collaboration — on real cloud projects for active customers.

The program, which started in 2018 with in-person sprints and moved virtual in 2020, uses a flexible Agile framework that spans a week of interactions, such as planning, training, ideation, coding, standups, demos, etc. What’s great about the program is that all sides learn — the customer’s developers get more direct experience coding in OCI, the customer’s executive management gets needed projects initiated that can be evolved to eventual deployment, and Oracle gets valuable engineering feedback that can help improve OCI. Plus, it’s fun. People at all levels who contribute to the project are really passionate about it. Listen in to hear why.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 25, 2024 — ServiceNow has announced that enterprise software industry veteran Amit Zavery will join the company as president, chief product officer (CPO), and chief operating officer […]

This Metasploit module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in the BEA Weblogic Apache plugin. The connector fails to properly handle specially crafted HTTP POST requests, resulting a buffer overflow due to the insecure usage of sprintf. Currently, this module works over Windows systems without DEP, and has been tested with Windows 2000 / XP. In addition, the Weblogic Apache plugin version is fingerprinted with a POST request containing a specially crafted Transfer-Encoding header.

Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation, gestures as he makes a speech during the New Economy Summit 2014 in this file photo taken in Tokyo on April 9, 2014.

Oracle says Larry Ellison is stepping aside as CEO of the company he founded. The business software maker promoted Safra Catz and Mark Hurd to replace him as co-CEOs.

Ellison will reclaim the title of chairman at Oracle and is also taking the role of chief technology officer. Oracle says Ellison wants to focus on product engineering, technology development and strategy. Jeff Henley, Oracle's chairman since January 2004, is now its vice chairman.

Catz and Hurd were co-presidents of the Redwood Shores, California, company. Catz will be in charge of the company's manufacturing, finance and legal functions. Hurd will be in charge of sales, service, and other global business units.

Ellison founded Oracle Corp. in 1977 and was its chairman from May 1995 to January 2004.

The Software Factory concept is based on a production line for systems from user requirements to software delivered. This production should be done without any direct communication between developers (production line workers) and users, system analysts and designers (customer side), based upon a scope, schedule, costs and quality standards.

In this paper we study a single machine scheduling problem on a set of independent jobs whose execution time is not known, but guaranteed to be either short or long, for two given processing times. At every time step, the scheduler has the possibility either to test a job, by querying a processing time oracle, which reveals its processing time, and occupies one time unit on the schedule. Or the scheduler can execute a job, might it be previously tested or not. The objective value is the total completion time over all jobs, and is compared with the objective value of an optimal schedule, which does not need to test. The resulting competitive ratio measures the price of hidden processing time.

Two models are studied in this paper. In the non-adaptive model, the algorithm needs to decide before hand which jobs to test, and which jobs to execute untested. However in the adaptive model, the algorithm can make these decisions adaptively to the outcomes of the job tests. In both models we provide optimal polynomial time two-phase algorithms, which consist of a first phase where jobs are tested, and a second phase where jobs are executed untested. Experiments give strong evidence that optimal algorithms have this structure. Proving this property is left as an open problem.
