Title [keynote]: Connecting the Dots: A High-Level Look at webMethods.io Integration - IWHI platform
Speaker: Radhika Warrier
Abstract: This session provides a high-level overview of the webMethods.io Integration (IWHI) platform, a unified solution for modern integration needs across data, application, B2B, API, and event-driven architectures. Learn how IWHI enables seamless connectivity across hybrid environments and how IWHI Edge brings integration closer to where data and operations occur. Discover how the platform simplifies real-time data exchange, API management, secure B2B transactions, and event processing to drive digital transformation and operational efficiency.

Title : spot the bug
Speaker : Gireesh Punathil
Abstract : Enterprise grade software demands more than just functional correctness: it must stand up to performance, security and observability expectations. lets explore the art of commercial code design through real world case studies with small snippets that compile and run perfectly but fail under production scale pressures. lets develop an instinct for writing code that is resilient, reliable and production ready.

Title : Java Today: Releases, Options & Where Semeru Runtimes Fit
Speaker : Suman Mitra
Abstract :- Java has evolved beyond just the language, with OpenJDK's current release cadence and multiple Java distributions creating confusion around versions, licensing, and runtime choices. This talk provides a concise overview of how modern Java releases work, where developers can get free Java today, and what really matters beyond the license. It also talks about IBM Semeru Runtimes as one OpenJDK based option, highlighting runtime characteristics which matter for Java applications & picking the distribution . This session is aimed at Java users who want clarity rather than a sales pitch.

Title : Analyzing Real‑World Code
Speaker : Syed Moinudeen
Abstract : This session walks through a real piece of code to understand its functionality, identify design flaws, and improve it using clean coding practices and standards. The goal is to help students and beginners develop strong code-reading, analysis, and refactoring skills essential for real-world software development.

Title : Primitives In Patterns - Providing Foundational Changes to Next-Gen Java Types
Speaker : Manoj N Palat
Abstarct: Traditionally, Java Types are divided into two - Primitive Types and Referenced Types. Primitive Types are fixed in number - eight of them including int, float, etc and are handled different from Referenced Types. These two Type Buckets are handled differently in various programming constructs - for example, it doesn't make sense to have a primitive type like "int" participate in an "instanceof" check in the traditional sense since no instance of type can be "derived" from "int".
Java language in its next-gen is planning to blur the difference in handling these two Type Buckets. "Primitives in Patterns" is a feature that is in its fourth preview in Java 26 that will provide some "Foundational Changes" to help this transition. Essentially, this provides an "instanceof" checks to the primitives. Closely tied to this is the way a type can be "converted" to another type - like "int" to "float" or "long" to "float".
How does this conversion work now? What are the different contexts in which these conversions are allowed? Why in the first place do we require such a new programming concept? What are the safety nets available? The talk will ponder over these questions. Key takeaways for the attendees from this talk would be : 1) A deeper understanding of the day-to-day use of primitive types 2) A keen awareness of the dangers of implicit conversions along-with the knowledge of safety guarantees and 3) Insights into how the language is evolving - all intended to help the attendee in the daily programming.

Title : Introduction to IBM BOB
Speaker : Aditi Srinivas
Abstract: This session will explore the capabilities of IBM BOB. Through practical use cases, we will see how IBM BOB helps developers through their software development life cycle. The attendees will learn how IBM BOB can be used as a valuable tool for improving developer productivity.
