OpenRheinMain 2024
Xyna Bulletin #16
Dear friends, partners and customers of Xyna,
After a focus on Telco-OSS at the TM Forum in Copenhagen in the spring (see Bulletin #14), the fall will again be more strongly influenced by AI & Open Source: this year's OpenRheinMain in Darmstadt is coming up!
On September 27, Alexander will open up an area of tension between artificial intelligence and quantum computing in his keynote speech - and has been able to secure a renowned co-speaker for this in the form of Dr. Thomas Ehmer from Merck.
We are also contributing a session on TM Forum Open APIs - and in general, the ORM has brought together so many exciting topics and speakers again this year: don't miss it >> Register (https://www.openrheinmain.org).
Enjoy reading!
Best regards from Mainz,
Philipp

Xyna.AI at the OpenRheinMain 2024
We were already a main sponsor of the OpenRheinMain conference for open source and digital technologies in 2022 and 2023. And this year, Prof. Dr. Michael von Rüden (Department of Distributed Systems) and the university's Department of Computer Science are inviting you to Darmstadt:
The ORM has established itself as an important regional event in the Rhine-Main area in recent years and brings companies, research institutes and students together with interesting lectures and workshops. Participation is free, but registration is worthwhile!
This year we are active under the label Xyna.AI as the main sponsor of the ORM. We are looking forward to a lot of large and small companies with very different focuses and contributions:
Alexander will give the keynote speech of the day together with Dr. Thomas Ehmer from the Healthcare Digital Innovation division of Merck AG.
AI vs. Quantum Computing
Synergy or rivalry? A dialectical debate on applications in computational biology, healthcare, telco networks, and crypto.
Thomas is co-founder of the Merck Quantum Computing Task Force and a renowned speaker at many conferences worldwide on the topic. He represents Merck in the Pharma Industry Quantum Computing Consortium (QuPharm) and the Pistoia Quantum Group. He is a member of the Merck Group working group in QUTAC - the application consortium of the German quantum industry. He researches quantum machine learning and optimization and evaluates different hardware platforms and which applications/problems are best suited for the different architectures.
A little background on this: the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing (QC) are at the forefront of technological innovation. Both promise a revolution in industry and society with their unique capabilities.
In the keynote, Alexander (AI enthusiast) and Thomas (QC expert) will address the transformative effects of these technologies on various areas in the form of a "dialectical debate", in particular on synthetic biology and healthcare, but also on telecommunications networks and cryptographic technologies.
In addition to the keynote, we are bringing another session for the afternoon. Our colleague Sascha will focus on the TM Forum Open APIs: where they come from, what advantages (and possibly consequences) they bring with them - and of course also show how such interfaces and BSS/OSS application chains can be implemented using the new Xyna OAS functions:
Dr. Sascha Krause TM Forum Open APIs - Standardizing the Telco BSS/OSS Application Landscape
As you can see, it definitely won’t be boring – and we look forward to your visit to our exhibition stand, where you can experience Xyna live and in color as always.
