How Disney is putting its magic in Digital TransformationScopernia
We’re always looking around for organizations with strong digital transformation efforts and Disney is one of the best examples we have come across thus far.
This short presentation we made shows off their leadership, investments and some of their amazing efforts in research and innovation. We hope they will inspire you!
http://www.digitaltransformationbook.com/
We’re entering a new world of virtual, mixed, and augmented reality — what some are even calling “the 4th design evolution.” This new medium comes with a fresh set of interaction challenges. Simple things, like organizing or retrieving files, placing screens, and activity switching need to be revisited. Just as the shift from desktop to mobile, and mobile to smart objects required us to rethink interaction patterns, this coming shift presents similar challenges.
We can react to these challenges or approach them in a thoughtful, structured way, considering how we live, build, and work in these immersive computing spaces. To this end, speakers Anderson and McCauley will share the framework they’re developing, a framework that critically examines emerging mixed design patterns in light of the timeless stuff we know about biology, cognition, and how our bodies use physical space. Attendees will see firsthand what’s happening in these new mediums — from games to business applications — while also walking away with a thoughtful way to approach interactions that will prepare you for this next design evolution.
The document discusses how the rise of digital technologies and online metrics has led many to focus only on numbers and analytics in marketing. However, it notes that branding is not really about numbers, but rather about creating emotional connections with customers during meaningful moments. While new devices provide opportunities, the core essence of branding remains the same - forming strong positive emotions and engaging users through high-quality, customized content and experiences. The document suggests that even small, seemingly insignificant actions can have large, unforeseen impacts, just as a butterfly flapping its wings can trigger a hurricane, and that marketers should look for ways to alter histories and shape destinies through emotionally impactful moments.

Harnessing Technology to Empower Marginalized CommunitiesEmily Jacobi
On February 4th, 2015 I gave a talk to the UC Berkeley CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series
Abstract: As internet and communications technologies rapidly advance, digital tools are transforming the lives of people around the globe. However, access to these tools remains unevenly distributed, and very rarely are new technologies designed by and for the most vulnerable communities. What happens when traditionally marginalized groups are placed at the center of this process? What new tools are created? How are these leveraged for environmental and human rights purposes?
From mobiles and mapping to data collection and storytelling, this talk will focus on the lessons learned and approaches pioneered by Digital Democracy’s work in dozens of countries over the past 6 years. From addressing gender-based violence in Haiti to combatting oil contamination and deforestation in the Amazon, Dd’s partnerships with grassroots organizations demonstrate the possibilities for technology to be effectively leveraged by local groups.
We've been told our whole lives ownership is key to success. Even in marketing we are told how much we need to have a paid/owned/earned strategy. But how if this strategic approach that puts an emphasis on ownership is all incorrect? What if the key to success in the 21st century of communications was similar to our economic condition where renting and utilizing resources when necessary is more important? What if we went full circle to the agricultural age due to cloud computing technology and adopted a nomadic strategy? Where we went not where we could grow or gather food but to grown and cultivate partnership relationships. Where we help grow new business models where the lines between employees and customers are blurred?
In this presentation, be pushed to think beyond the normal by Geoffrey Colon, Microsoft communications designer and author of "Disruptive Marketing: What Growth Hackers, Data Punks, and Other Hybrid Thinkers Can Teach Us About Navigating the New Normal" on how to set up a nomadic social by design and agile structure for success whether you're a sole proprietor, small business, NFP, government agency or Fortune 100 company.
What we may have learned in the recent past as a best practice must now be unlearned and relearned constantly so that we stay as flexible as our customers. In the end, it won't matter where you do business, as long as you measure specific KPIs that will help you with growth and customer satisfaction around your product, culture, organization or service.

Augmented reality (AR) enhances the real world by overlaying computer-generated images, sounds and other sensory inputs. AR is closer to reality than virtual reality as it adds graphics and information to the natural world rather than completely immersing users in a simulated world. Early examples of AR include systems that tracked balls in sports to display their likely trajectory. Modern AR works by superimposing graphics, audio and other information over the real world in real time using devices like smartphones or head-mounted displays. Key applications of AR include travel, military, medical, and advertisements. While AR has potential, limitations include privacy concerns if personal data is accessible by pointing phones at people, and a lack of human interaction compared to guides. The

For the last 7 years, as an interactive technology solutions company, our forte has been to work with touchscreens and developing applications for this excellent interactive medium. The COVID-19 pandemic, like everyone else, gave us a jitter on whether touchscreens in public spaces will be used in the same way or are they are on the verge of extinction.
After attending some expert webinars and analyzing the industry, we could infer that touchscreens are still significant for out-of-home environments. And surprisingly, these devices will be used more than ever.

Jisc on repositories unleashing data - Daniela DucaRepository Fringe
Jisc aims to make the UK the most digitally advanced education and research nation. It supports research through developing shared infrastructure, providing input to funders and publishers, and supporting standards. It is working on two relevant projects: the UK Research Data Discovery Service, which aims to make research data more discoverable by evaluating metadata models from Australia and Canada; and Research Data Metrics, which is scoping a tool to assess data usage and management systems through a proof of concept using the IRUS dataset.
IRUS-UK is a national aggregation service that collects usage statistics from UK institutional repositories. It processes raw download data into COUNTER-compliant statistics. A small piece of code is added to repository software to gather basic data for each download and send it to the IRUS-UK server. This data is then displayed through a web interface, SUSHI service, and API. Future priorities for IRUS-UK include increasing participating repositories, implementing the tracker for more software, expanding reports, leveraging additional metadata, and international collaboration.

It notes that current practices do not sufficiently reward those who create and reuse high-quality software and data. The document proposes treating software and data as first-class research outputs by publishing papers about software and data to allow them to be properly referenced and credited. It also discusses challenges around identifying citable elements of software, versioning, defining authorship and roles, and ensuring proper linking of metadata.
The document discusses Jisc Publications Router, which helps institutions capture research outputs by routing publication metadata from various sources to institutional repositories. Router 1.0 demonstrated a viable prototype routing metadata from Europe PMC and Nature, and full text from Europe PMC and eLife. Router 2.0 is now being developed to provide a pilot service, migrating existing participants and adding new content providers with the goal of becoming a full service by August 2016. It will have a new architecture and aim to capture more content and integrate better with other Jisc open access services.
This document discusses linking research outputs to enable reproducibility and acknowledgement through citation. It notes that not all research outputs are as easily identified as articles. Data citation allows research to be linked through identifiers for data, authors, and other research artifacts like theses, papers, and monographs. Technical and human infrastructure is needed for open research that integrates these linked objects and identifiers. Outreach and sustainability are also addressed.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
