Interactions with clients, Breaking Borders, June 2014Mariana Morris
WORKING WITH CLIENTS: UNDERSTAND THEM AND THEY’LL UNDERSTAND YOU
To get your client to trust your expertise and design decisions can sometimes be tricky. The trust starts with your first interactions with them and it’s important throughout the relationship. Their buy-in on your designs depends on this trust as well as their backgrounds, situations that they are facing and personalities.
Mariana will share her experience and techniques working with clients, from empathy to communication.

Cities and companies around the world try to emulate the quality and pace of innovation that happens within Silicon Valley. Our vision is to bring the culture of innovation that Silicon Valley fosters to Bangalore, India. Silicon Valley embraces failure, so that’s a value we promote at CognitiveClouds. We teach our developers to fail quickly, learn from their mistakes and try a better approach. We also learn from other leading organizations within Silicon Vally. Through our partnership with Google, we’ve learned how to conduct design sprints, and we now use design sprints as part of our standard development process. We think all our engineers should work smarter instead of harder, so we invest in tools and processes that leading innovators use and follow. We believe an average developer with great tools and processes is more efficient and effective than a rockstar developer with no tools.

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.

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.
