Software Architecture

Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder! Diesmal haben wir Nils Hartmann mit seinem Talk zum Thema "**[Spring Modulith](https://spring.io/projects/spring-modulith)**" zu Gast. Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort). * 18:00 Uhr: Einlass * 18:30 Uhr: Talk * ab 19:30: Ausklang des Abends Dank an [qSkills](https://qskills.de/) für Location, Bier und Pizza! \-\-\- Oft sollen Anwendungen in entkoppelten Modulen entwickelt werden, um Ordnung und Struktur in unseren Code zu bekommen und darüber Wartbarkeit zu garantieren. Microservices stellen dafür einen sehr konsequenten Ansatz dar, können aber auch eine hohe Komplexität mit sich bringen. “Monolithen” hingen sind vergleichsweise bequem in der Entwicklung, stehen aber im Verdacht, schnell zu einem unübersichtlichen “Big Ball of Mud” zu werden. Diesem Problem versucht “Spring Modulith” entgegenzutreten. Damit werden Spring Boot-Anwendungen in einer gemeinsamen Codebasis entwickelt (”monolithisch”), innerhalb dieser werden aber Module definiert ("modulitisch"), deren korrekte Verwendung anhand von Architekturregeln kontinuierlich überprüft und sichergestellt wird. Außerdem erweitert Spring Modulith das Spring-eigene Eventsystem, um auch zur Laufzeit für eine Entkopplung der Module zu sorgen. In diesem Live-Coding-Vortrag möchte ich anhand praxisnaher Beispiele eine Einführung in Spring Modulith geben und mit euch diskutieren, welche Konsequenzen sich für unsere Anwendungen daraus ergeben und für welche Szenarien dieser Ansatz besonders geeignet ist. \-\-\- Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg! Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten? Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT. Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session. **Seats are numbered**# **Title**: L'engloutie **Language**: French **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 98 min **Director**: Louise Hémon **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/lengloutie-2/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/143042/ **Synopsis**: On a stormy night in 1899, Aimée, a young republican schoolteacher, arrives in a snowbound hamlet on the remote edges of the French Alps. Despite the villagers’ mistrust, she’s determined to shed light on what she sees as their dark beliefs. As she gradually becomes part of the community, a sensual vertigo begins to grow within her. Until the day an avalanche claims the life of a first mountain dweller. **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

Stel je voor: een avond waar karton en ideeën vonken geven. Waar pionnen geen plastic zijn, maar gesprekstarters. Waar een prototype geen “bijna-af” product is, maar een laboratorium op tafel. Spellenmaakgilde en The Serious Gamers bundelen hun krachten en brengen het beste van twee werelden samen. **Het Spellenmaakgilde** is een community voor makers van bord- en kaartspellen: testen, schaven, opnieuw proberen. Idee > prototype > feedback > beter spel. **The Serious Gamers** richt zich op spellen die meer doen dan vermaken: ze zetten spel in als middel om te leren, gedrag te spiegelen en gesprekken op gang te brengen op de werkvloer. Op **woensdagavond 22 april** draait alles om Serious Game Prototypes. Heb jij een spel in ontwikkeling dat iets wil blootleggen, oefenen of veranderen? * Een spel dat teams helpt elkaar écht te begrijpen? * Een spel dat mensen kritisch laat kijken naar hun werk of naar de maatschappij? Dan is dit jouw moment. We bouwen samen aan spellen die niet alleen leuk zijn, maar iets in beweging zetten. 📍 Locatie: **Café Oproer in Utrecht** 🕖 Tijd: **19.00 - 22.00\*** 💶 Deelname: **gratis** 🎲 Doel: **testen, leren, aanscherpen** Neem je prototype mee. Of kom spelen en feedback geven. Maar kom vooral! Meld je aan en schuif aan tafel. \*Aan tafel kan ook voor avondeten, de locatie is vanaf de middag geopend. Dus kom er gerust (op eigen kosten) wat eten vooraf.

Pokeravond in Hilversum – kleine vaste groep We spelen eens per twee weken op woensdagavond. Ontspannen sfeer, beetje competitie en een kleine inleg. We zijn een vaste groep en hebben nog plek voor 1–2 mannen die het leuk vinden om vaker mee te doen. Je kunt eerst een keer aansluiten om te kijken of het klikt. Lijkt het je wat? Stuur even een berichtje.

**📣** Welcome to **our second meetup in 2026!** Missed last meetup? Then its important you know that the Green Software Foundation and Sustainable IT Netherlands meetups, merged into one: **Sustainable IT Action NL!** Our mission is still to build connections around sustainable IT, exchanging ideas in a space for learning - and from there inspiring our members to take action. **🌿** We’re excited to gather peers who care about green, efficient, and responsible cloud practices on **April 23rd**, kindly hosted by **GreenPT** in Utrecht. **⏳ Time schedule** 17:30 – 18:00 Welcome 18:00 – 18:30 Vegetarian bites & networking 18:30 – 18:45 Kick-off & community introductions 18:45 – 19:15 Measuring the environmental impact of Google's AI - interactive explainer – Ozan Ogreden 19:15 – 19:45 Maryse Meinen– Holistic Digital Sustainability 19:45 – 20:00 Pitches 20:00 – 20:45 Drinks & networking **📍** 📍 **Location:** Plompetorengracht 4, Utrecht. GreenPT **❗ Capacity is limited to 50 participants, so please register early.** **✏️ Title: Measuring the environmental impact of Google's AI - interactive explainer** **💡 Speaker: Ozan Ogreden** **🍃 Abstract:** I built an "interactive explainer" that reproduces Google's methodology from Elsworth et al. (Measuring the environmental impact of delivering AI at Google Scale, Aug 2025, https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.15734). I'd like to share the explainer and my observations with the community. What stands out to me is a striking analytical (or rhetorical?) choice by Google team, which seems to be leading to a downward bias in headline-reported figures of their work. With the community, I'd like to attempt at two goals. One of them is a "narrow-minded goal", trying to find a charitable interpretation of what may have motivated Google's choices (specifically in the discussion related to measuring environmental impact of LLMs). The second is a goal with a more important perspective: Given our discussion, what's the best use of our time to move the needle in sustainable IT? *Ozan works at GreenPT:* GreenPT is a GPT-powered chat platform, and robust API, trusted by governments, businesses, privacy-focused organizations, and developers. Running on renewable energy and hosted in Europe for strict data protection, GreenPT gives you and your team the answers you need with a clear conscience and total transparency. [https://greenpt.com/](https://greenpt.com/) **✏️ Title:** Holistic Digital Sustainability **💡 Speaker:** Maryse Meinen **🍃 Abstract:** Less is More! This interactive session brings you inspiration and practical tips for embedding more sustainability all throughout your digital Product Development Cycle! Of interest for any role in the whole cycle of our process, from Product Owner to Agile coach and from business analist to tester! **📖 About the speaker:** Maryse works at the Rabobank improving our way of working and inspiring people to embed more sustainability in how we do Product Development. She is also a Stoic Practitioner. **🎤 Pitches** Our goal is connect people around Sustainable IT. In order to build more connections, we would like to offer the stage to everyone who wants to share something. We will timebox each pitch on 2 minutes exactly! Please note that this session is intended as a community gathering, so commercial pitches are to be avoided :) **🔎 Looking forward to seeing you there!** **👥 Organizing team** Tim van Bergenhenegouwen, Nick Batenburg (GreenPT, host) Wilco Burggraaf, Chris Stapper, Corina Milosoiu, Sabrina Hsieh (Sustainable IT Action NL)

This session focuses on **Sparse and Ranking in Modern Retrieval**, featuring two speakers: **Simon Lupart** from University of Amsterdam and **Chuan Meng** from University of Edinburgh. **Location:** Science Park 904, Room C3.161 **Date**: Friday, April 24 **Time**: 16:00-17:00 **Zoom** **link**: [https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/65011610507](https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/65011610507) Details below: **Speaker #1**: **Simon Lupart** from University of Amsterdam **Title:** On the Challenges and Opportunities of Learned Sparse Retrieval for Code **Abstract:** Retrieval over large codebases is a key component of modern LLM-based software engineering systems. Existing approaches predominantly rely on dense embedding models, while learned sparse retrieval (LSR) remains largely unexplored for code. However, applying sparse retrieval to code is challenging due to subword fragmentation, semantic gaps between natural-language queries and code, diversity of programming languages and sub-tasks, and the length of code documents, which can harm sparsity and latency. We introduce SPLADE-Code, the first large-scale family of learned sparse retrieval models specialized for code retrieval (600M-8B parameters). Despite a lightweight one-stage training pipeline, SPLADE-Code achieves state-of-the-art performance among retrievers under 1B parameters (75.4 on MTEB Code) and competitive results at larger scales (79.0 with 8B). We show that learned expansion tokens are critical to bridge lexical and semantic matching, and provide a latency analysis showing that LSR enables sub-millisecond retrieval on a 1M-passage collection with little effectiveness loss. **Bio**: Simon is a third year PhD student at the University of Amsterdam, working on Information Retrieval and LLMs. He has graduated from a computer science engineering school in France, made an Erasmus exchange in London, during his master, at the imperial college london, and worked in the industry for 2 years at naver labs europe. Now he will present his latest work from an internship at naver labs europe. **Speaker #2:** Chuan Meng from University of Edinburgh **Title**: Revisiting Text Ranking in Deep Research **Abstract**: Deep research has emerged as an important task that aims to address hard queries through extensive open-web exploration. To tackle it, most prior work equips large language model (LLM)-based agents with opaque web search APIs, enabling agents to iteratively issue search queries, retrieve external evidence, and reason over it. Despite search's essential role in deep research, black-box web search APIs hinder systematic analysis of search components, leaving the behaviour of established text ranking methods in deep research largely unexplored. In this talk, we revisit key findings and best practices for text ranking methods in the deep research setting. In particular, we examine their effectiveness from three perspectives: (i) retrieval units (documents vs. passages), (ii) pipeline configurations (different retrievers, re-rankers, and re-ranking depths), and (iii) query characteristics (the mismatch between agent-issued queries and the training queries of text rankers). We perform experiments on BrowseComp-Plus, a recent deep research dataset with a fixed document corpus, evaluating a broad spectrum of text ranking methods across diverse setups. We find that agent-issued queries typically follow web-search-style syntax (e.g., quoted exact matches), favouring lexical, learned sparse, and multi-vector retrievers. Passage-level units are more efficient under limited context windows, and avoid the difficulties of document length normalisation in lexical retrieval. Re-ranking consistently improves performance, with deeper re-ranking depths amplifying gains. Translating agent-issued queries into natural-language questions significantly bridges the query mismatch and improves effectiveness.

He received his PhD from the University of Amsterdam in June 2025, supervised by Prof. Maarten de Rijke and Dr. Mohammad Aliannejadi. He was formerly an Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon. His research focuses on agentic information retrieval (IR) and deep research. He has published 25+ papers in top-tier venues such as SIGIR, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, CIKM, AAAI, ECIR, and TOIS, with 650+ citations on Google Scholar and an h-index of 16. He has co-organised tutorials and workshops at SIGIR 2025, WSDM 2025, ECIR 2024–2026, SIGIR-AP 2024. **Counter:** SEA Talks #303 and #304.

**This might be the girls night you didn’t know you needed.** Many women are living in constant “on” mode- always busy, always giving. And somewhere along the way, we forget how good it feels to simply *be together*. This is your invitation to a real **girls night out**. Every 3 weeks we come together to relax, laugh, connect and support each other — without pressure, without fixing, without performance. **When women gather in a safe and supportive space, something powerful happens.** We uplift each other through shared laughter, honest conversations, and non-judgement presence. Being around other women who get it can make everything feel a little lighter and brighter. It helps us feel less alone, more supported, emotionally stronger - sometimes simply by being in the same room together. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we listen, Sometimes we laugh - and even sing - until our bellies hurt. You’re free to share what’s on your mind, or simply enjoy the energy of being around other women who get it. There’s no agenda. No judgement. Just genuine connection, joy, and friendships that feel *easy and real.* And often, there’s that quiet thought: *“oh wow, I didn’t know I needed this.”* All I ask is that you come exactly as you are — tired, joyful, quiet, loud, curious, or unsure. Everything is welcome. We meet every 3 weeks - The upcoming months it will only be in Utrecht. later on we will switch between Utrecht, Amsterdam and Leiden - because connection grows when we keep showing up for each other — not perfectly, just honestly. ✨ Come as you are. ✨ Leave feeling lighter, more connected, and a little more yourself.

**Bitcoin Meetup met Crazy Pool!** Deze maand organiseren we iets leuks: voorafgaand aan de meetup (voor wie dat wil) spelen we Crazy Pool bij Timestamp op de Korenmarkt. Crazy Pool lijkt op minigolf, maar je speelt het met een keu en een bal die je door verschillende obstakels moet stoten. De speeltijd is ongeveer 45 minuten. Aansluitend eten we bij Flor Fina. Je kunt ook na het diner aansluiten als je alleen voor een drankje wilt komen. De Bitcoin Meetup is geschikt voor zowel beginners als ervaren bitcoiners. Stel je vragen en praat mee over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van bitcoin. Wil je meedoen met Crazy Pool of mee-eten? Laat het ons even weten, dan houden we daar rekening mee bij de reservering. * 16:30 — Crazy Pool @ Timestamp (Korenmarkt) * 17:30 — Diner @ Flor Fina (Korenmarkt) * 19:30 — Drinks @ Flor Fina (Korenmarkt) ## English Bitcoin Meetup with Crazy Pool! This month we’re doing something fun: before the meetup (for those who want to join) we’ll play Crazy Pool at Timestamp on Korenmarkt. Crazy Pool is similar to mini golf, but you use a cue to strike a ball through various obstacles. Playtime is about 45 minutes. Afterwards we’ll have dinner at Flor Fina. You can also join later if you only want to come for drinks. The Bitcoin Meetup is suitable for both beginners and experienced bitcoiners.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional
