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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024
Android
1.
2. Android is a Linux based operating system for mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open
Handset Alliance led by Google.
Google purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in
2005. The unveiling of the Android distribution in 2007 was announced
with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 84
hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to
advancing open standards for mobile devices.Google releases the
Android code as open-source, under the Apache License. The Android
Open Source Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further
development of Android.
3. Android has a large community of developers writing applications
(“apps”) that extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write
primarily in a customized version of Java. As of October 2011 there were
more than 400,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated
number of applications downloaded from the Android Market as of
December 2011 exceeded 10 billion. Apps can be downloaded from
third-party sites or through online stores such as Android Market, the app
store run by Google.
Android was listed as the best-selling smartphone platform worldwide in
Q4 2010 by Canalys with over 200 million Android devices in use by
November 2011.According to Google’s Andy Rubin, as of December
2011 there are over 700,000 Android devices activated every day.
4.
5. Android Market is the online software store developed by Google for Android devices.
An application program (“app”) called “Market” is preinstalled on most Android
devices and allows users to browse and download apps published by third-party
developers, hosted on Android Market. As of October 2011 there were more than
300,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated number of applications
downloaded from the Android Market as of December 2011 exceeded 10 billion.The
operating system itself is installed on 130 million total devices.
Google has participated in the Android Market by offering several applications
themselves, including Google Voice (for the Google Voice service), Sky Map (for
watching stars), Finance (for their finance service), Maps Editor (for their MyMaps
service), Places Directory (for their Local Search), Google Goggles that searches by
image, Gesture Search (for using finger-written letters and numbers to search the
contents of the phone), Google Translate, Google Shopper, Listen for podcasts and My
Tracks, a jogging application. In August 2010, Google launched “Voice Actions for
Android”, which allows users to search, write messages, and initiate calls by voice
6. The T-Mobile G1, built by
HTC, was the first
Android phone. It's slow
by modern Android
phone standards. In
2008, when it arrived, the
Android Market was
almost devoid of
applications, but now it's
improved. So far at
least, the G1 isn't
available to ordinary
folks with the latest
version 2.1 of Google's
Android operating
system
7. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is led by Google, and is
tasked with the maintenance and development of Android.
According to the project “The goal of the Android Open Source
Project is to create a successful real-world product that improves
the mobile experience for end users
Android has seen a number of updates since its original release, each fixing
bugs and adding new features. Each version is named, in alphabetical
order, after a dessert.
Recent releases
2.3 Gingerbread.
3.0 Honeycomb February 2011.
3.1 Honeycomb, released in May 2011,
3.2 Honeycomb, released in July 2011,.
4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, announced on October 19, 2011, brought
Honeycomb features to smartphones and added new features including
facial recognition unlock, network data usage monitoring and
control, unified social networking contacts, photography
enhancements, offline email searching, app folders, and information sharing
using NFC. Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich is the latest Android version
that is available to phones. The source code of Android 4.0.1 was released
on November 14, 2011.
