This document discusses the business benefits and commercial challenges of HTML5. It provides examples of how HTML5 can be used as an enterprise tool, including a case study of how the UK government uses HTML5 on its website. HTML5 allows businesses to utilize existing skills, reduce costs, extend their user reach, and engage consumers more effectively. However, keeping up with HTML5 specifications and browser support presents challenges. Overall, the document argues that HTML5 is the future for businesses.

AB Testing and UX - a love story with numbers and people
Slides from the NUX6 talk by Craig Sullivan, Friday 27th October 2017.
2017.nuxconf.uk / nuxuk.org
Synopsis:
What’s wrong with the web these days? The mobile experience sucks. The customer experience sucks. It doesn’t work. It’s too hard to use. The text is too small. Nobody measures this happening. The interaction patterns suck. Nobody ever calls up to complain but nobody does anything anyway. Millions of people lose countless days to friction, poor design and frustrating moments on their devices.
There may be thousands of things you can fix that look promising – but how do you know where to start? What if you could measure what sucked, where it sucked and how big the problem was? Using lightweight research methods and tools, you can stop making excuses and start knowing exactly what to do. Life becomes much simpler and easier with a scientific method of optimising growth or delight within your product.
Craig has trained over 500 people on how to measure and optimise their product experience, finding 100M of ‘lost revenue’ using just one of the techniques you will learn. With reports, checklists, downloadable templates and toolkits for every budget and stage of growth – you can stop guessing tomorrow.

What Are Product Optimization Tactics by Bills.com Senior PMProduct School
Your optimization and testing strategy can potentially determine the success or failure of your product. A/B testing is the most common approach used to validate optimization hypothesis. This approach while powerful has many limitations and does not always result in the highest ROI. Personalization is an alternative approach which can maximize value for specific audiences but can be costly to implement at scale.
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach will be critical in forming a winning optimization strategy.

We created Goopi to deal with the new unmet requirements of today's media and advertising world.
Specifically, the need to customise and rapidly render multiple versions of the same ad to meet the increasingly detailed and variable profiles of buyers from around the world.
This isn’t just about replacing one sound track with another This goes much further, giving brand managers, the ability to freeze those elements which must never change while giving local brand managers the ability to change everything else - all at little cost and without any particular technical skills. That’s Goopi.
We help you create as many broadcast quality variations of an ad and/or allow users to create professional looking content without the expense, time, or hassle that normally accompanies this work.
How can this be?
Goopi is a patented technology which lives in the cloud and like many cloud services, improves in performance the more computers are connected to it. What used to take 10 hours to render now takes just 10 minutes to complete - for a cost of about 100 dollars.

Collaborate Bristol 2018: Design Thinking for Good - Angela Pesta, Director o...Nomensa
The craze of design thinking is turning the designer's profession into a commodity—but that's okay.
Let this be the impetus that motivates us to evolve our profession.
In this talk we'll be investigating what it means to 'design for good' and how this can be addressed with the practices of 'design thinking' and more.
We'll investigate questions such as: What do we need to do to stay ahead of and evolve the function of design? Do we have a moral responsibility as designers to do good? Finally, as creative problem solvers, how can we increase our scale as change agents for the world's biggest problems?

Collaborate Bristol 2018: The art of collaboration - Simon Norris, Nomensa CE...Nomensa
How can we create a collaborative culture? And, what does that look like in practice?
Collaboration is about meeting people where they are: it’s about understanding and empathising with the person in front of you, their ideas and their experiences.
Often, companies will spend thousands recruiting talented individuals, only to rarely give them the space to use those talents. Leaders should endeavour to create an inclusive culture with a shared vision and direction, while still valuing the individuals that make it up.
We are what we practice, so if we want to encourage collaboration, we need to work collaboratively ourselves. We can’t be prescriptive – it’s through repeated, proven and intentional actions that we create a collaborative culture. We can do this through Design Management.
Held in conjunction with World IA Day 2018, this practical session was an introduction to the core skills and methods of thinking that you can use as part of your day to day work in IA.
Topics covered included the foundations of IA, the importance of a ‘content first’ approach, thinking like a user and how to present your work to clients.
The session was led by Jon Fisher, Head of UX at Nomensa, an award-winning UX design agency based in London, Bristol and Amsterdam.
This is a free event recommended for those new to IA or looking for a refresher on fundamentals.
Following the event, Nomensa will be providing pizza and beers for delegates to enjoy and continue networking.
If you register, but are unable to attend, please give us 48 hours notice so we can reallocate your place.

Finding your Compass in a Hyper-Connected World - Sam Munton | Interact Londo...Nomensa
2017 has seen change at a rate that’s both exciting and terrifying in equal measures. So how do we embrace uncertainty, and how do we design for a future where disruption and a hyper-digitised world collide?
Join Sam to ponder what the near and far future might look like as a result of hyper-digitisation, including a whistle-stop ‘tour’ of connected cities, smart fabrics & furniture and smart health.
Be prepared to leave with a few pertinent questions in your head that may well inspire future conversations (and debates!).

Sam is inspired by solving real life problems with elegant digital designs. In a modern digital design context, she believes it is imperative that we step away from building websites and transition to building digital services as experiences that are delivered across multiple channels.
With over 17 years’ experience in creating engaging design solutions, both client and agency side, Sam provides creative and strategic direction to clients and teams to humanise technology.
Can Design Save the World? - Ann Longley | Interact London 2017Nomensa
As a planet and a species we are facing many imminent threats:
climate change induced disasters are increasing
65+ million people are displaced due to man-made conflicts
preventable diseases continue to plague us
almost half of the world live in poverty
Rapidly evolving technology can help us overcome many of these problems, but it is also a catalyst for further societal disruption. We are as yet unclear how robots and automation will play out in the workforce. Our institutions are not prepared for the massive societal changes these technologies will bring.
What is the role of design in the problem solving equation? Design has created some game-changing solutions to very specific problems, in particular, those in less developed countries. From poverty reducing water pumps to gravity powered lights, design can incrementally improve lives and undoubtedly transform our future. But what are the barriers which prevent it from reaching its full potential and how we might overcome them? How does design unlock its inherent ability and scale up to solve the world’s most pressing and complex problems?

Ann Longley is a digital transformation expert whose career in digital spans 20 years.
She has worked across sectors and continents modernising businesses, enriching public services, and helping save lives through the strategic and creative application of digital technology.

The Rhythms of Life: unearthing the gems of social media data - Peter KayNomensa
World IA Day Bristol 2017
In health care, the need for accurate real time information is not just a nice-to-have, it is a matter of life and death. The diagnostic tools and techniques employed by the medical profession enable them to observe and understand the condition of their patients. As our heart beats, our bodies create rhythms that reveal a great deal to a trained medical professional. The simple act of taking our pulse supports the understanding of the complex interrelated biological systems, understanding that guide decision making - decision making with far reaching implications.
But what has any of this got to do with World IA Day, and why is a Social Media Strategist interested in taking pulses?
During this talk, I will explain by sharing with you my observations of the world around us and reveal to you all the information I see and the rhythms it creates as we all go about our lives. Information that reveals our relationship with the complex digital systems we all rely on...

World IA Day Bristol 2017
We are surrounded by a multitude of cues that help us navigate daily life, guiding, promoting and steering us as if by an almost invisible second nature.
In this talk, I’ll explore some of these cues and their impact on us, from navigation techniques using the stars and the ocean, through to the design of sign systems and also, the ability to command guidance from the palm of your hand. The parallels around findability, structure and scale will give you a perspective on how you might think and design like an information architect.
The Century of the City and the Digitisation of Everything - Paul WilsonNomensa
World IA Day Bristol 2017
We live in the decade of the platform economy. The 200 biggest platform companies have a combined market capitalisation of $4Trillion+ and it is changing the competitive landscape of every industry. Amazon, Facebook, AirBnB and Über are leading the charge. And this digital transformation is only just beginning.
Cities are humanity’s greatest platform. They power the greatest marketplaces on earth by providing the fabric which businesses need to thrive, by concentrating people and physical infrastructure. But cities don’t yet play an instrumental role in the digital economy.
That is changing. Leading cities are now coming to terms with how to create, curate and use data to the advantage of their citizens and businesses. Developments in digital technology and society mean the data will soon become another utility in the city. We are moving into the century of the City. Cities that understand this are adapting and applying the principles of the platform economy, and are emerging as regional or global knowledge hubs and innovation centres, attracting talent, jobs and unleashing innovation.

Cultivating Digital Mindfulness | Simon NorrisNomensa
Simon Norris' recent presentation at AmsterdamUX.
User Experience (UX) is now established as a core discipline with the digital design process. Businesses get the value of UX... or so they say. Yet, UX still remains confusing, complex and is misunderstood. How can we determine where UX fits within the product design process? How can we cultivate product mindfulness?
In this talk Simon described how thinking more broadly and deeply about experience helps to cultivate product mindfulness.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Editor's Notes
Nomensa is a user experience design agency. For more than a decade we've been creating beautiful, inclusive and forward thinking websites for organisations across all sectors.
There was the day I took the plunge and bought my iPhone, finally understanding what accessibility by default feels like. It was realising that I had smart technology that could help me identify paper currency, read restaurant menus, check in for a flight, order a take away, listen to audio books and post the whole lot to Facebook if I wanted to.
It's easier to use in-house knowledge of web technologies, than to bring in whole new teams for each native platform. It's easier to find lots of web developers, than to find lots of developers for every native platform.
Yahoo! created an HTML5 dev environment with client and server side rendering, enabling it to utilise existing in-house skills and resources.
It's more efficient to maintain a single code base for cross channel deployment, than to maintain variations for each native platform. It's more cost effective to develop, test and deploy from a single code base, than it is to spread resources across multiple releases.
The FT dropped its native app and created a web app instead, gaining better control and more than 2 million usersin the process.
It's possible to get rid of proprietary plugins, and create robust web products with an even wider reach.
Facebook used an HTML5 code base to reach more than 500 million users on more than 7000 devices.
It's possible to create more rich and engaging web products, making it easier to attract and retain consumers.
The HTML5 based Pacman Google doodle received an estimated 505 million unique visits the day it went live.
It's possible to create more inclusive web products, making it easier to fulfil legal accessibility requirements.
It isn't a finished specification, so browser support isn't consistent or stable yet.
It isn't easy to provide good quality content images for high resolution devices, without impacting bandwidth consumption. Browser support for video codecs remains divided, so it's necessary to provide content in multiple formats.
It's necessary to put in place support for older browsers, which can create a development overhead.
Gov.UK is an ambitious project to deliver all government digital services through a single domain website. Its audience is the UK general population, and unique visits are expected to be in the millions every month.
The decision to use HTML5 was taken early in development, because it was felt it had reached an appropriate level of maturity. Working in an agile environment with constant iteration makes it easy to keep pace with any changes to the HTML5 specification.
It needs to be accessible to the widest possible audience, but it isn't constrained by the lowest common denominator. Legacy support for IE is provided by Remy Sharp's HTML5 shiv and the Selectiviser script.
The HTML5 doctype is more simple, easier to remember, and backwards compatible (even with IE6).
Clarity and information are a priority, and the strong semantics of HTML5 make this easier to achieve.
The HTML5 GeoLocation API makes it possible to offer personalised information about local authority services and facilities.
HTML5 video makes it possible for useful content to be accessed on more devices, but a Flash fallback is in place to support devices without HTML5 video capability.
The HTML5 offline storage API will make it possible to offer low level personalisation, without cookies or server side data storage. The HTML5 application cache API will make it possible for people to complete tasks offline.
In 18 months Gov.UK has gone from concept prototype to HTML5 operational reality. It's broken the mould, broken records, and all without breaking a sweat.
The Nike Better world website uses HTML5 canvas to create a subtle parallax visual effect to attract consumers.
The Lanyrd web app and mobile website uses HTML5 offline storage to enable event information to be accessed even when no connection is available.
YouTube uses HTML5 video to help reach the 800 million unique visitors it has every month.
The Boston Globe uses HTML5 and the web standards stack to create a responsive website that can be accessed comfortably on a wide range of different devices.
HTML5 is the future, so it makes sense to start taking first steps towards it now. Take time to consider the challenges and ways to meet them, then start to enjoy the many benefits of moving to HTML5.
