Instagram allows users to share single photos and videos with captions and have followers view them. Facebook is a mobile site where users can share photos, music, videos with friends and chat. Twitter allows sharing of photos and most videos with followers who can retweet or favorite the posts.
The document discusses dynamic A/B testing using a service called AB/CD. It explains that traditional A/B testing divides users into static groups to test different buttons or options, but this is costly if a large number of users is needed. Dynamic A/B testing addresses this by initially giving 10% of users a random option and then routing 90% of users to the best performing option based on metrics like views, clicks and click-through rate. This allows conclusions to be drawn more quickly using fewer users. AB/CD is a service that handles the calculations behind dynamic A/B testing, allowing options to be requested via API and results reported back in real time.
This document discusses several key ideas related to information architecture and understanding systems. It addresses issues like fragmentation, findability, and the importance of categories and connections in cognition. It also discusses concepts like the relationship between information and culture, the limits of information, and how information architects create environments for understanding through nodes and links. Overall, the document examines the nature of information in systems and how to design and manage information architecture.

Um agile Entwicklung sinnvoll in einem Projekt zu ermöglichen, spielt die Architektur des Systems eine entscheidende Rolle. In einem agilen Projekt sind Architektureigenschaften wie Installierbarkeit und Prüfbarkeit entscheidend, da die Software in kurzen Abständen regelmäßig geliefert und im besten Fall dem Endnutzer zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Diese kurzen Releasezyklen gelingen nur durch ein hohes Maß an Automatisierung. Agile Projekte benötigen bereits passende Lösungsansätze in der Architektur, die es erlauben eine Continous Delivery Pipeline möglichst einfach zu realisieren; das Architekturmuster „Microservices“ versucht u.A. diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden.
Weitere Vorteile des Architekturmusters ergeben sich bei der Skalierung von Projekten. Durch den Einsatz von „Microservices“ können Projekte einfach aufgeteilt und parallel von mehreren Cross-Functional Teams mit agilen Methoden umgesetzt werden.
Die Idee eines Microservice ist nicht neu: das System wird in kleine, losgelöste Anwendungen (sog. Microservices) aufgeteilt. Diese Bausteine stellen Ihre Funktionalität als Service zur Verfügung. Der Vortrag gibt einen Praxiseinblick, auf welche Weise man vom Einsatz des Architekturmusters „Microservice“ in einem agilen Projektumfeld profitieren kann. Es wird aufgezeigt, wo sich in der Praxis Schwierigkeiten ergeben und wie man diesen vorbeugen kann. Der gesamte Vortrag gibt einen grundlegenden Einblick in die agile Entwicklung auf Basis einer Microservice-Architektur.

Billy Connolly is one of Scotland's greatest comedy success stories. He became famous in the 1970s for his stand-up routines and distinctive Glaswegian humor. While hugely popular in the UK, he faced criticism for leaving Scotland to pursue opportunities in Hollywood. Connolly enjoyed moderate success as an actor but never fully cracked the American market. Recent years have seen a return to Scottish film and TV productions. Connolly has a complex relationship with his homeland, both proud of his roots but also feeling misunderstood by the Scottish media at times. He remains one of the most successful British comedians internationally.

The document provides instructions for several math concepts:
1. Multiplying integers with the same or different signs. When signs are the same, the product is positive, and when signs differ, the product is negative.
2. Exponents - When multiplying a negative number with an exponent, multiply the base by itself the number of times the exponent indicates and then apply the negative sign.
3. The distributive property - Multiplying numbers both inside and outside parentheses according to the property.
Well tailored value creation methodology combined with patent prosecution strategy can develop new patent portfolios for maximum ROI from existing patents. Many patent applications and newly issued patents can be further developed for creating new values by amending and creating claims and generating family patents to encompass emerging technology and products/services trends, market demands, and strategic exploitation goals (e.g., cross-licensing, monetization etc.).
Scala can be used for automation scripts for small businesses, though it has some drawbacks for scripting like slow compilation and JVM overhead. The Scala REPL is useful for testing scripts. A recommended approach is to create a bot that trained colleagues can message commands to, which then runs scripts safely, avoiding the downsides of direct access. Libraries like Rapture IO, Dispatch, and Smack can help with common tasks like file access and messaging.
1) When multiplying integers with the same sign, the product is positive, but with different signs, the product is negative.
2) For exponents, if the base is in parentheses, you raise that number to the power. If the base is negative without parentheses, you raise the absolute value to the power and then make the answer negative.
3) The distributive property distributes the number being multiplied over terms in parentheses by multiplying each term individually and then combining like terms.
The document discusses LTE downlink reference signals as specified in 3GPP standards and an essential patent related to them. It describes the cell-specific reference signals defined in the standard, including their lattice structure and frequency shifts. It also outlines US20060285484 patent application and how it relates to generating pilot signals for multiple antennas ports according to the 3GPP specification to enable accurate channel estimation for high user speeds.
This document provides links to various articles about 5G networking technologies that are currently being developed and tested by companies like Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Samsung and telecom operators for commercialization around 2020. Some of the key technologies being researched are massive MIMO, millimeter wave communications, machine-to-machine and device-to-device communications which could enable faster data speeds and lower latency mobile broadband networks to support new applications like autonomous driving, remote surgery and smart cities. Many industry players expect 5G standards and networks to be ready for commercial deployment between 2020-2022.
Many healthcare, medical devices, consumer electronics, and IT business leaders are now competing in the IoT (Internet of Things) connected health market by providing and developing innovative products/services. For example, Philips announced a partnership with Amazon to provide a new platform for the IoT connected healthcare application. Philips connected healthcare platform is based on its cloud-based HealthSuite platform and Amazon AWS IoT platform. Samsung’s SleepSense can connect to the user's smartphone and provide daily sleep monitoring reports. Patent information can provide insights regarding the state of the art of the IoT innovations for the connected health applications such as Fitness Management System, Health Management System (home healthcare system), Medication Management System, Physical Activity Monitoring System, Physiological Monitoring System (e.g., blood glucose level monitoring), Sleep Monitoring System, Smart Cloth, and Telemedicine System and Health ICT System (e.g., body sensor networks, health information management system). Thus, one can identify the potential further innovation R&D areas (“white space”) that can lead to new connected health products/services development through the patent analysis.
Sharing Apache's Goodness: How We Should be Telling Apache's StoryJoe Brockmeier
This document discusses how Apache projects can improve their marketing and promotion efforts. It begins by explaining why sharing Apache's story is important for gaining new users and contributors. It then analyzes the current state of Apache marketing, noting that projects rely on just one contractor for marketing support and could better utilize existing assets like the Apache website. The document proposes modest steps like creating a marketing mailing list and encouraging more participation. It also provides specific suggestions projects can take, ranging from low-hanging fruit like starting a Twitter account, to more ambitious efforts like creating press kits and pitching publications. Metrics are discussed to measure success of these marketing initiatives.
The document compares the LTE standard essential patent portfolios of Nokia and InterDigital. It finds that Nokia's portfolio contains 96 total patents related to LTE, with 17 identified as potential standard essential patents. InterDigital's portfolio contains 78 total patents, with 15 identified as potential standard essential patents. The analysis shows that Nokia's patent portfolio covers more of the key LTE standard specifications and technology components compared to InterDigital's more narrowly distributed portfolio.
Joint infringement issue can arise in many IoT business cases because several interconnected IoT devices from different vendors and different entities for storing and processing the data obtained by the IoT devices and providing the specific services to end users can be involved.
Deploying Apache CloudStack from API to UIJoe Brockmeier
For most organizations with a large computing footprint, it's not a matter of if you'll need a private cloud - it's when, and what kind. One of the most mature and widely deployed options is Apache CloudStack, a robust, turnkey cloud that includes everything you need to set up a private, public, or hybrid cloud. We'll cover Apache CloudStack from API to UI, and a little of everything in between.
This document summarizes A-Young Lee's thesis presentation which explores how handmade crafts can inform and improve contemporary design through digital communication. Lee discusses their persona as a handmade crafter and jewelry maker under the name "PoppyEater". The presentation defines craft, explores the history of art and craft movements, and contrasts crafts with design. Lee proposes that a social network could facilitate open communication between crafters and consumers to collaboratively improve products. While still developing their specific thesis project idea, Lee sees potential for a smartphone app to easily connect the DIY community.
1. The document analyzes art and performances in Second Life, noting how it allows for low barriers to expression, strong support for creating and sharing, and informal mentorship.
2. It discusses an example performance by Gazira Babeli that engaged avatars in both Second Life and a real art gallery, demonstrating participatory culture.
3. After the event, users generated online content reflecting on and spreading information about the performance, feeling engaged as performers themselves.
Postmodernism emphasizes style over substance and challenges traditional notions of art, truth, and linear narratives. Key aspects include the breakdown of distinctions between high and low culture, an emphasis on bricolage and mixing of cultural forms, and questioning of objective truths and meta-narratives through techniques like self-referentiality, deconstruction, and challenging hierarchies. Postmodern culture is characterized by constant remaking and influences between new and old works, with reality being blurred by media like music videos and photography.

This document discusses postmodern theory and its application to a student poster project. Some key points:
- Postmodernism rejects hierarchies and suggests that reality is constructed through images and representations rather than existing independently.
- The poster project represents creativity and the creative industries in a postmodern style by using a chainsaw, an unconventional symbol that requires more thought than typical representations.
- Applying effects to documentary-style photographs in the poster differentiates it from reality, reflecting postmodern ideas about the relationship between media and reality.

Unit Lesson
Chapter 1: The Nature of Art and Creativity
What is art? Art is all around us. You might have a favorite painting hanging on a wall or even a favorite cup
that you use. The cup may seem like a bit of a stretch, but it is a form of art. It may be mass-produced, but
someone designed that cup. Everyday objects are designed with usability in mind; paintings on the wall are
meant to be visually appealing, and sometimes art is created just to make you think.

Zero Adoption: Lessons Learned From Failing at Open SourceMemi Beltrame
I'd love to tell you a story about how the software I created helped my community. Sadly, I can't: nothing I built ever found an audience. This talk is about how I failed to reach a community, about why it doesn't matter - or rather: what I learned from being stuck in an open source team of one.
For years I was convinced that the success of an open source project was determined by the usefulness of the software. My imaginary blueprint of open sourcing was:
Build something useful
Open source it
Everybody wins
It turns out that it is much harder than that.
This talk is about how I built several tools that would help the UX community to deliver awesome products with a great experience, while never finding an audience for the tools. We'll look at all the mistakes one can make and what to do instead to build a thriving community.
And even if you don't find an audience: Zero adoption does not mean zero value. We'll look at how there is great benefit in building and publishing things, if not for others then for yourselves.
An in-depth look at how interaction design, industrial design and service design are merging together to form a super-discipline and what this all means for designers.
Understanding complexity is understanding content and its function. This talk is about content driven design in prototyping. The point of content driven design is to simulate everything users can do with data in highly interactive prototypes.
Zeitgemässe Produkt-Entwicklungsprozesse sollen Benutzer ins Zentrum stellen. Dabei spielt User Experience Design eine führende Rolle. Gute Product Owner müssen wissen wie der Design Prozess modernen Produktentwicklung aussieht und sind gleichermassen Design-Integratoren wie Design Champions.
Designed for the Worst Case - Zurich's water supplyMemi Beltrame
Zurich has two separate water supply systems - one for households and one for emergency use. The emergency system includes decorative fountains throughout the city that can be opened to access hydrants and distribute water in case the household system becomes polluted. Though the fountains appear impractical for fetching water, they are designed to reveal hydrants that can connect to hoses and pipes for water distribution in disaster situations. The document emphasizes designing for failures and worst case scenarios.
Data Driven Design - Frontend Conference ZurichMemi Beltrame
Data driven prototyping goes far beyond the mere administration of content for prototyping purposes. It is a powerful tool to handle the needs arising from interfaces with extensive amounts of microcontent - tiny but important pieces of content, usually involved in microinteractions like transactions, changes or updates.
Ever so often users are sensitive to minute changes of content - for example stock prices changing quickly or dates and times in news reflecting current time. In these cases it is important to be able to rely on dynamic data that simulates the behavior of the real content as close as possible.
This talk is about why it is important to build rich functional prototypes that focus on content and how this can be achieved. It gives an overview of the benefits and obstacles of data driven prototyping and contains a wide range of examples of how data driven prototyping can make the difference between a good and a great prototype.
This document discusses elements that impact the readability and clarity of written language. It notes that readability refers to how easy text is to read and understand. Elements that can negatively impact readability include small text, long lines with little white space, long paragraphs without breaks, cluttered text, and complex linguistic elements like long sentences, unfamiliar terms, and compound words. Elements that can improve readability include short sentences, familiar terms, syntactic simplicity, illustrations, redundancy, coherence, consistency, and breaking text into concise paragraphs with headings. The document also discusses how users typically skim web pages in an F-shaped pattern rather than reading thoroughly, and the importance of maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio to keep only relevant
The User Experience of Near Field CommunicationMemi Beltrame
The information age took us by storm and the mobile revolution is still in full effect – yet we already stand on the brink of the next paradigm shift: the seamless connection of information and personal devices. Imagine a world where you have the possibility of giving your devices context by simply holding them close to a tiny chip. Things like sharing your WiFi credentials or telling your mobile phone that you are going to bed and it should mute and dim itself and also set the alarm clock to 7am. All with one simple touch — Welcome to the world of Near Field Communication. This talk focuses on the amazing possibilities of NFC in everyday use. A variety of actual and (once) futuristic use cases will illustrate how NFC can enrich our experiences with technology and how this relates to our profession of User Experience Design and our role in shaping the future.
This presentation is about the challenges faced when doing prototypes and to make sure that these prototypes are useful for the developers.
It is about how the prototyping activity fits into the iterative implementation cycles (Scrum Sprints) and how the triangle of UX, development and visual design works together, in particular if external service providers are involved.
This talk looks at the challenges we are facing when prototyping for mobile and gives an overview about the tools and handy helpers that you can use to deliver tappable, sharable and testable prototypes.
Protostrap is a framework for designers that want to get clickable and testable prototypes up fast. It allows designers to have reusable page elements for recurring things like navigation, headers and footers. It is based on Twitter Bootstrap.
The document discusses content audits and provides guidance on conducting content audits. It defines a content audit as an assessment of all available content to determine its state and actionability. It recommends listing all content items, analyzing them based on defined criteria, and identifying actions. It provides examples of content audit goals and tools. It also presents different approaches to auditing content, including using a site crawler to export all pages to a spreadsheet and using analytics data to focus on high traffic pages.
The document provides an overview of the benefits of conducting user research before designing products or websites. It discusses conducting research with stakeholders to understand business strategy, risks, and content needs. It also emphasizes the importance of user research to understand user needs, reactions to designs, and behaviors. Research methods discussed include interviews, observations, prototyping, analytics, and more. The key message is that research helps address assumptions, focus efforts, and understand both business and user perspectives to create successful designs.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.
