Scattered Requirements Dust in the Era of Web3

In this keynote session, we will explore the distributed data challenges and web3 opportunities of governing distributed multi-party data and AI systems. With the rise of data mesh and multi-party AI systems, it is essential to understand how to effectively ensure distributed requirements integrity that leads to design automation in an agile manner and manage risks. We will exemplify the implications on one of the biggest challenges in the defense domain today: Dynamic Sensor Data Fusion across different vendors and systems. This challenge is known as Multi Domain Operations and aims to form a Multi Domain Combat Cloud that can handle the overwhelming challenges of data and AI in distributed environments. We will interact with example tools to capture the requirements and resulting design of a sensor defense system with a no-code approach and understand the value of LLM in accelerating requirements capturing for such semantic distributed data systems.
