Algorithms, Data Structures and Rise

Surprise - SurpRISE - with SAP CEO Christian Klein: Instead of going to a well-stocked computer science library and checking out Niklaus Wirth's classic "Algorithms and Data Structures," Klein is trying to force the Intelligent Enterprise with process mining from the acquired startup Signavio. I want to shout out to Christian Klein: "My friend, the art is old and new. It has been the way at all times, through three and one, and one and three, to spread error instead of truth.."

The essential concepts of classical computer science are covered. Machine learning (AI) and algorithms for quantum computers expand the field of computer science, although many ML algorithms are again based only on complex mathematical formulas.

It's hard for the annual SAP field kick-off meeting (FKOM), AGM and Sapphire to conjure up another new rabbit out of the top hat - but existing customers aren't asking for it! If the SAP community now thinks, in the style of Dr. Faust from Goethe's Hexeneinmaleins: "Methinks the old man speaks in a fever", this may not be wrong: What is the SAP Executive Board doing in Walldorf? Mephisto's answer was quoted above.

The SAP community agrees that a discourse on algorithms and data structures is sufficient. Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of moderating an online discussion at Data Migration International (DMI), and the only question there was one of primacy: algorithms or data structures. What to do with Abap modifications? What to do with Master Data Management?

DMI has constructed a suitable data platform for the conversion with Green-, Brown- and Bluefield (JiVS). We will continue the discourse of Professor Niklaus Wirth in the E-3 Cover Story June together with DMI. Requests to speak and questions in advance are encouraged.
