Optimize vaccine appointments to save the world with OptaPlanner AI

Speaker: Geoffrey De Smet, Principal Solutions Engineer, Red Hat 

Planning coronavirus vaccinations for distributed vaccination centers is far more complex than it looks on the surface. Who gets which vaccine, when and where? There are planning constraints. For example, we must adhere to national policies to vaccinate the priority groups and the elderly first. But we should also minimize travel distance. Did you know that vaccination rates are actually influenced by how far people need to travel to get one? It can strengthen herd immunity. Not to mention the impact on CO² emissions from all that transportation. Save the world - plan local vaccinations. But stay within the capacity of each vaccination center. And maximize throughput, too.

Decision Automation with DMN and other open standards

Speaker: Matteo Mortari, Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat

Introduction to BA/Decision Mgt and how DMN with Drools and Kogito make it working. Decision Management is an important pillar of Business Automation and a key aspect of all Digital Transformation initiatives. DMN as an open standard is a very effective enabler of decision management both from a methodological but also pragmatic perspective, since the execution semantic is defined in the specification itself. We will see how DMN can be a great support from the very beginning of the requirement analysis activities, up to the actual deployment and execution. We will delve into some key aspects of DMN in order to understand their characteristics, their advantages and limitations, and their best application in a cloud-native context too!
