| | Simplifying Cloud Native Development | | This spring Oracle plans to deliver more tools for cloud native development, networking, and security that developers can use to write containerized applications. Microservices and containers make it faster and simpler to add new features to an application, because developers need to change and test only portions of their code, not the entire application.

Business intelligence and analytics expert Bruno Aziza suggests three trends that will define the years 2020 to 2030: cloud-based data control, more integration of analytics, and the embrace of artificial intelligence.

| | Using AI to Match Patients with Clinical Trials | | With tens of thousands of clinical trials worldwide, “it’s very hard to know what you’re eligible for,” says Dan Kuenzig, a director in Oracle’s Strategic Programs. Enter The Opportunity Project, a US-government-led initiative that attacks this and other problems by giving private software engineers swaths of “open” federal data so they can apply emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing resources to the analysis. How does it work? |
