User Experience Service showcase lightning talks - December 2018Neil Allison
The University of Edinburgh User Experience Service ran a showcase of recent projects on 5 December 2018. The session began with these lightning talks.
Sustainability for Project-Based Collaborative Work: Leveraging Service Level...Franny Gaede
In 2018, the University of Oregon (UO) Libraries embarked on a refresh of its collaborative digital scholarship infrastructure in preparation for taking on projects in association with the UO GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) Alliance's Mellon Fellowship Grants and the Digital Scholarship Center's Faculty Grants. This required transforming the existing organizational framework with a service level agreement for new partnerships and instituting a virtual teams model to facilitate inter-departmental work. The service level agreement was intended to help manage operational labor and create a sustainable model for project-based work with minimal technical debt. This presentation will discuss how the agreement has impacted the work of research content creation, preservation, and technical infrastructure management. We will also explore the causes and effects of the agreement's implementation in the virtual teams model, using the framework of the Mellon Fellowship Grants and Digital Scholarship Center Faculty Grants.

Open Innovation - Best Practices for Raw Material CompaniesTimo Ropponen
Mining and raw materials companies have longer and costly innovation cycles.The objective of the project was to build on top of the established Open Innovation (OI) body of knowledge a set of best practices and tools specifically tailored to raw material companies. The project consisted of an open innovation assessment study and piloting a digital collaboration tool in an online OI workshop in a mining company.
Lorraine Barclay and Annette Webb, members of the UCISA Digital Capabilities Group, are hosting and presenting a 60 minute tech talk at 12:00 on Friday 18 March on how new cloud technology (with a focus on Groups in Office365) impacts on specific internal institution stakeholders (such as IT Trainers, IT Administrators, and Learning and Development managers). The talk will also look at ways to help your organisation overcome the challenges of using these types of technologies more effectively.
The use of gamification (using game rules in non-game contexts) to make the Vula forum and wiki more interesting to use. The honours project ultimately looked at gamifying only the Vula wiki and here is a link to it http://people.cs.uct.ac.za/~dtakpuie/Project/

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"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.
