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!

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).

1. Best Practices Using Adobe Captivate
These best practices were developed by the Libraries’ Guides Group. They may be
applied to tutorials or other products developed using TechSmith Camtasia.
KNOW YOUR USER:
Identify your users before getting started. Is the audience students, faculty or staff?
Design with users in mind.
ARTICULATE the LEARNING GOALS:
Establish the goal. What is/are the most important information to be conveyed?
Articulate what you want users to learn. Be realistic about your learning goals; avoid
squeeze in too many learning objectives. Tutorials designed using Captivate need
be short and to the point. They should not be designed to completely replace
comprehensive subject guides or in-class presentations. Use Captivate to help
design a tutorial that would emphasize certain points or features (i.e., of a database,
a web site) that are difficult to grasp without visualization.
DEVELOP A SCRIPT or STORYBOARD:
Writing a clear and concise script is key to the success of your project. Using
Captivate, you are creating a tutorial that puts together a number of short segments
that join to make up a scene. This scene is intended to convey a specific message or
set of learning outcomes to users. To be effective, the message, script or storyboard
needs to be well planned. The script articulates the goals and acts as a guide for the
entire production. Without a well defined script, the job to create a meaningful
tutorial will become unmanageable.
PRODUCTION LENGTH:
The Guides Group recommends that Captivate tutorials be produced for no more
than 3.5 minutes in length.
NAVIGATION:
Create a clear visual navigation. Logically navigate the user through the desired
features on a screen, web pages or steps. Avoid jumping around a page and going
too quickly or slowly.
Should you want users to move from one web page to another, alert users when
linking away to another page, or be clear about their need to click on a link to move
forward.
NARRATION:
The narrator needs to speak clearly. Avoid speaking too slowly or quickly. Solicit
feedback from colleagues on the pace of your narration. The Captivate tutorial author
does not necessarily need to be the narrator. Include layperson's definitions for
2. technical or librarian terminology. Avoid using acronyms. Tighten the language to be
as clear and concise as possible, using clear and simple language.
STANDARD ELEMENTS:
To maintain a consistent look and feel with all Captivate tutorials, guide authors need to
include:
AUDIO INTRODUCTION:
Captivate tutorials need to begin with the following audio introduction:
Welcome to the University of Maryland Libraries’ Guide to [insert name of guide]
DESIGN ELEMENTS:
Captivate tutorials need to conform to these design standards:
Fonts: Arial
Font Sizes: 11 pt.
Text/Callout box colors: Glass Blue
Important considerations about text:
• Include as few words as possible so text can be easily scanned by users.
• Left-justify all text.
• Avoid overusing italics; they are difficult to read on a computer screen.
• Avoid overuse of all-caps.
LINKS:
Captivate tutorials need to include standard forms of information when linked:
Learning to navigate the Libraries’ Home Page [2.5 minutes]
If you cannot view this tutorial, learn how to enable Javascript and download Adobe Flash (free).
HTML Code:
<p><a href=”insert your link”>Learning to navigate the Libraries’ Home Page</a>
[2.5 minutes] <br><font size=”-2”> If you cannot view this tutorial, learn how to <a
href=”pagetobe developed”>enable Javascript and download Adobe Flash
(free)</a>.</font></p>
NAMING FILES
Give meaningful names to your files. Follow Web Services’ guidelines on file
naming, see: http://libi.lib.umd.edu/naming-directories-files-and-links.
Use this: www.lib.umd.edu/guides/annotated_bibliographies.swf
Instead of: www.lib.umd.edu/guides/annotbibcaptivate.swf
3. PROOFREAD and SPELL CHECK
Proofread and spell check your text boxes. Have someone else review your
production and text for flow, transition, grammar and content.
QUALITY CONTROL:
Captivate tutorials need to be built in WebSpinner’s JUNK directory. Guides cannot
go live and be linked to the Libraries’ Web site until they have been reviewed by the
appropriate Guides Group representative, see:
www.lib.umd.edu/guides/group/ggmembers.html Guide authors will need to use the
Guide Notification Form (or yellowsheet) to submit guides for review:
www.lib.umd.edu/UES/yellowform.html
ONGOING MAINTENANCE:
As is the case with all other guides, authors will be required to review their Captivate
tutorials every year by the beginning of each Fall semester
(http://www.lib.umd.edu/guides/group/ggcreating.html).
• The guide's author will receive a reminder to revise the tutorial.
• If no revision has been made by the date supplied by the Guides Group, the
tutorial will be de-linked from Research Port and the Guides home page. It will be
put in the JUNK directory making it unavailable to the public.
• The tutorial will be "relinked" again by User Education Services once notification
of revision has been received.
