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!

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).

• RFID tags or Magnetic data strips
28
29. Input Design
• Input and Data Entry Methods
– Tradeoffs
• Unless source data automation is used, manual data
entry is slower and more expensive than batch input
because it is performed at the time the transaction
occurs and often done when computer demand is at its
highest
• The decision to use batch or online input depends on
business requirements
29
30. Input Design
• Input Volume
– Guidelines will help reduce input volume
1. Input necessary data only
2. Do not input data that the user can retrieve from
system files or calculate from other data
3. Do not input constant data
4. Use codes
30

– Most effective method of online data entry is form
filling
– Guidelines will help you design data entry screens
1. Restrict user access to screen locations where data is
entered
2. Provide a descriptive caption for every field, and
show the user where to enter the data and the
required or maximum field size
31
32. Input Design
• Designing Data Entry Screens
– Guidelines will help you design data entry screens
3. Display a sample format if a user must enter values in
a field in a specific format - separator
4. Require an ending keystroke for every field
5. Do not require users to type leading zeroes for
