1. For a positive user experience, the whole system is more important than individual devices, as the intelligence of the platform is greater than any single device.
2. Results come from fragmented interactions across multiple devices and situations, not from a single device.
3. The key design challenge is the system architecture and how the parts can connect, rather than any single device's capabilities. User actions activate relationships between parts.

processes and relationships between the various branches of the IT department should emerge, forsaking old habits and technologies. New technologies and roles\responsibilities are taking their place.
User centred design (UCD) and the connected homeCyber-Duck
This presentation is a summary of a workshop that was conducted at UX London and Mozfest by Cyber-Duck, an agency that merges lean and agile deliver with user centred design (UCD). The workshop was aimed at those wanting to apply UCD to futuristic technologies. The workshop explored the concepts and thinking of ‘how to design an Internet Connected Dishwasher app’ while considering a wider eco system. The workshop started by introducing IoT (and ‘nearables’), why its relevant now and how the UCD process can adapt to it. The workshop frames UCD in a wider product delivery context and is aimed at those wanting to learn on how UX tactics can be applied to successfully design IoT products and systems.

GfK NIS and nurago: Measuring Digital Consumer Journeysnurago
GfK NIS and nurago are measuring Digital Consumer Journeys across all media types and customer touchpoints.
We combine Network-centered measuring (NIS) with User-centered metering (nurago).
GfK Network Intelligence Solution’s methodology transfers anonymised, real-time IP traffic into fine-grained metrics to understand cross media and long tail consumer behaviour in motion.
GfK nurago‘s LEOtrace® technology measures and tracks individual user behaviour and application usage
on-device within controlled consumer panels.
Measuring and interpreting traffic on mobile network operator’s backbones helps understanding the long tail of Mobile. Currently, data from 5+ million unique users are anonymously evaluated. NIS is new and tested in 7 countries with 8 operators. Data is enriched with demographics, geographics, device features, and content categorisation into a fully consumer privacy proof solution.
nurago‘s LEOtrace® technology provides Holistic Measurement in smaller samples:
Events and data points measured at the point of origin: Web and App Usage, Communication, Location — then enriched with purchase information, attitudinal user feedbacks – and other media usage.
The combination of both results in multidimensional analysis and robust insights.

White Paper Part 2 Interactive Dooh ExperienceStephen Randall
Building an Interactive Digital Out of Home Experience - Basic Considerations for Mobile & Social Interactivity on Digital Out of Home Networks, August 2009
Executive Summary
Simple text-to-screen and photo-to-screen applications are commonplace at pop concerts. Twitter feeds are springing up in conferences. It can't be too hard to add an engaging mobile and social interactive applications to digital out of home ("DOOH") networks, right? Wrong. A capable interactive DOOH network supports real-time user engagement. Engagement might come from a user at the location or via the web (e.g. via a social network connected to the location through the affinity of a brand). Engagement might be sporadic or frequent, but whenever it happens, it creates an enhanced user experience as well as a measurable "mobile click." The resulting "pulse" for the location can then be used to help the location or advertiser improve services and/or messaging.
iMediaShare integrates smartphones with internet-enabled TVs and game consoles, PS3 and Xbox included, making it possible to browse and play the phone media content from other devices.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

2. DECONSTRUCTING THE MACHINE: THE SYSTEM PARADIGM
Traditionally interaction design is centered on the
relation of a man with a machine or a service, where
(usually) goals and sphere of action are well defined.
What happen if the “machine” is broken down into a
network made of services and distributed applications?
What happen if interaction is no longer based on
functional and clear goals, but becomes an open and
borderless experience where the main goal is living the
experience itself?

5. CONTENT IS GETTING INDEPENDENT FROM THE MEDIA
According to the annual CENSIS* report about media
consumption in Italy in 2005, teenage users don’t mind
about the media used to enjoy contents (music and
information).
Contents are streams they freely catch where possible
with any media available.
Media are getting undi erentiated for the user
experience.
Context and user intentions makes the
di erence.
*CENSIS, from the 1964, is the main Italian social study and research public foundation. http://www.censis.it/

24. Design considerations
Many entry points are possible
In the system there are many entry points where the user can initiate
the interaction, following context, situation and other needs and goals.
There is no one best way
Interaction and task flow doesn’t always follow one single optimal
process, but is the combination of various partial and occasional actions
accomplished by the user with di erent tools in di erent context.
Design for connections
In the system scenario, design is mainly focused on finding the
connections with the whole network, than in creating closed and self-
su cient systems, tools and services. Connections are social and
cultural assets, other than technical.
24
25. Connecting the dots
1. For a positive and fulfilling user experience, the whole is
more important than the parts.
Moreover, the intelligence of the platform is more
important than the intelligence of the single device,
which could be replaced or completed.

26. Connecting the dots
1. For a positive and fulfilling user experience, the whole is more important than the parts.
Moreover, the intelligence of the platform is more important than that of the single
device, which could be replaced or completed.
2. Results are not delivered by a single device.
They are the arrival point of a fragmented and random
interaction flow which goes through many devices and
di erent situations.

2. Results are not delivered by a single device. They are the arrival point of a fragmented
and random interaction flow which goes through many devices and di erent situations.
3. The architecture of the system becomes a key design
challenge. Before focusing on the capabilities and on the
features of a single device, the design should start from
the organization of the system, and from the possible
relationships and connections between the parts which
can be activated by the user action.

which changes continuously in a opportunistic and
situated way following the di erent contexts and user
situations.
