Collocated with IEEE GHTC

Includes award presentation and a short technical talk by the awardee, Shubhi Asthana, IBM Research

Talk #1: The transactions of goods and services between large businesses are often driven by contracts and orders. Based on usage of services, invoices are billed to the customer who settle them. Enterprise service provider process thousands of orders every year and it takes considerable manual effort to process them. The invoice’s billed data is not always maintained in the same system as the orders, and it takes effort to match them. Sometimes the invoices may get into a dispute due to over exhaustion of allocated funds or may be billed to an expired order. Hence managing the billing of order is a huge undertaking along with increased cost. To address these challenges, we developed an order management workflow system, that transforms the overall orders process to increase their renewals and decrease disputes. It comprises of two components – an automated order-invoice model and a risk analytics model that evaluates the contracts and orders against the invoices billed to the customer. The output is the ranking of orders based on customer portfolio, risk level as well as market trends in usage of services. The speaker will illustrate their approach with some promising results on data of one of the world’s largest IT service providers.

The speaker, Shubhi Asthana is the winner of this year's Industry Rising Star award from the chapter: https://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/industry-r...

Talk #2. The IEEE P2851 standard defines a dependability lifecycle of products with focus on interoperable activities related to functional safety and its interactions with reliability, cybersecurity, SOTIF (Safety of the intended functionality) and real time. The standard also describes methods, description languages, data models, and databases that have been identified as necessary or critical, to enable the exchange/interoperability of data across all steps of the lifecycle encompassing activities executed at IP, SoC, system and item levels, in a technology independent way across application domains such as automotive, industrial, medical and avionics safety critical systems. The speaker, who is the chair of the working group on the standard will provide more insights into the topic.
