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).

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.

9. History (1/10) The Turk was a fake chess-playing machine constructed in the late 18th century invented by Wolfgang von Kempelen . From 1770 until its destruction by fire in 1854,it was exhibited by various owners as an automaton, though it was explained in the early 1820s as an elaborate hoax. The Turk was in fact a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master hiding inside to operate the machine. With a skilled operator, the Turk won most of the games played during its demonstrations around Europe and the Americas for nearly 84 years, playing and defeating many challengers including statesmen such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin. Arimaa history is rooted at that of Chess
10. History (2/10) “ Chess is generally considered to require ‘thinking’ for skilful play; a solution of this problem will force us either to admit the possibility of a mechanized thinking or to further restrict our concept of ‘thinking’.” “ Shannon noted the theoretical existence of a perfect solution to Chess and the practical impossibility of finding it.” Source: “ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GAME ARIMAA” by Christ-Jan Cox Universiteit Maastricht Maastricht ICT Competence Centre Institute for Knowledge and Agent Technology Maastricht, The Netherlands March 2006 Claude Shannon Link: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=67002
11. History (3/10) Alan Turing The "Turing" machine was described by Alan Turing in 1937. Turing Machine = Algorithm Universal Turing Machine = Computer 1951, Alan Turing develops on paper the first program capable of playing a full game of chess. Its play is best described as “aimless”; it loses to weak players.

16. History (8/10) Marvin Minsky - Father of AI 2000 - " No one has tried to make a thinking machine … The bottom line is that we really haven't progressed too far toward a truly intelligent machine. We have collections of dumb specialists in small domains; the true majesty of general intelligence still awaits our attack. We have got to get back to the deepest questions of AI and general intelligence and quit wasting time on little projects that don't contribute to the main goal. “ [as interviewed in "Hal's Legacy", Edited by David Stork] Source: http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/Hal/chap2/two4.html http:// www.agiri.org/forum/index.php?showtopic =45

22. Why this is hard (1/6) “ Human intelligence, refusing to be put on the back foot, is taking refuge in creative ingenuity, inventing games like Arimaa , which are specifically designed to be easy for humans but hard for artificial intelligence. “ BBC 28 August 2007 State of Play: Man versus machine By Margaret Robertson Video game consultant and writer Margaret Robertson She has written extensively about games for Wired and the BBC, and has edited Edge, the world's most respected videogame magazine. Now as a game designer and consultant, she works on videogame projects of all sizes, for mainstream (EA, Sony, DICE) and indie(Kuju, Zoonami) developers, as well as for educational organisations, broadcasters and major studios. Bram Cohen is an American computer programmer, best known as the author of the peer-to-peer (P2P) BitTorrent protocol , as well as the first file sharing program to use the protocol, also known as BitTorrent . Arimaa's a better game than I thought. It follows a fairly sound approach to making the game difficult for computers.
23.
24. Why this is hard (2/6) Complexity Analysis The complexity of a game is measured by two different factors, the state-space complexity and the game-tree complexity . The state-space complexity roughly indicates the number of different board positions that are possible in principle. In Arimaa it is almost 1.66x10 43 . The game–tree complexity is an indication of how many nodes there are in the solution tree. The number depends on the specific search techniques used. In Arimaa it is almost 3.1x10 300 . “ Analysis and Implementation of the game ARIMAA “ by Christ-Jan Cox Universiteit Maastricht Maastricht ICT Competence Centre, Institute for Knowledge and Agent Technology Maastricht, The Netherlands, March 2006 http://arimaa.com/arimaa/papers/CoxThesis/Cox_thesis1.pdf

26. Why this is hard (4/6) Source: “ Methods of MCTS and the game Arimaa” by Tom´aˇs Kozelek (Dec 2009) Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Charles University in Prague Stability Tactical combinations are much less common than in chess. There are mainly two reasons for this: 1. the fact that a move consists of 4 steps and 2. the absence of “long shooting” pieces. This longterm planning is a huge weapon in the hands of the humans who can beat computers with systematic cumulation of little strategic advantages. http://media.photobucket.com/image/human%20thinking/VedaSun/Mind-1.jpg
27. Why this is hard (5/6) Source: “ Methods of MCTS and the game Arimaa” by Tom´aˇs Kozelek (Dec 2009) Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Charles University in Prague Opening Initial positioning of pieces is not prescribed which virtually makes opening books obsolete. It has not been agreed on yet which opening setup is the best (or if there exists such a concept at all).
28. Why this is hard (6/6) Source: “ Methods of MCTS and the game Arimaa” by Tom´aˇs Kozelek (Dec 2009) Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Charles University in Prague No endgame While in chess or Go the position usually gets simpler when approaching the end of the game, this might well not be the case in Arimaa where most of the games are decided in the late middle game.

41. Conclusion Intent of the challenge: The main intent of the Arimaa challenge is to promote research in AI , which can help to advance the field and potentially have applications in other areas. Some areas of AI that would be involved depending on the approach taken include pattern recognition, machine learning, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and expert systems . It is hoped that in the processes of achieving the Arimaa challenge some new techniques are developed in one or more of these areas that can also be applied to other problems. The Arimaa challenge is designed to be met if significant progress is made in software and not from the advances in hardware , which are almost guaranteed. As such the challenge will define the hardware and OS to be used and participants need only to develop the software. Advancing the state of the art: It is recommended that the participants (especially those with programs in the computer tournament) submit articles to the ICGA technical journal describing their research and results . If a program wins the Arimaa challenge, it must be described in a paper submitted to the ICGA technical journal after winning the challenge in order to receive any prize. http://arimaa.com/arimaa/challenge/2010/
