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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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!

5. INTRODUCTION
Time Management is the process of
planning, organizing, and controlling the amount of time
spent on specific activities, especially to increase
1
effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.
Central to the entire discipline of time management is
Covey’s Principle-Based Time Management Matrix, which
divides time-spent into four quadrants, ranging in
different urgencies and importance.
The focus of the presentation will discuss how to manage
time effectively, as well as conduct and analyze a
personal time management account using Covey’s PrincipleBased Time Management Matrix and other significant time
management tools and theories.

6. EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT
1
•
Time is the only resource that people cannot
borrow, buy or barter. Everyone uses different
amounts of time to accomplish results
however, everyone is endowed with the same amount
of time each day; 1440 minutes.
•
The ability to manage your time effectively and
to invest greater amounts of time into a specific
goal, objective, or even weakness can tip the
balance of success in your favor.
•
It can be a tricky skill to master, but time
spend doing this is not wasted and rather
immediately gives you more time to effectively
achieve objectives.

planner?
• Are you flexible with your plans?
• How often do you accomplish what you plan?
• Do you plan for things that are personally
important for you?
• Do you make plans in order to keep things under
control?
• How often are your plans hindered by
interruptions?

10. 6 BASIC STEPS FOR EFFECTIVE TIME
MANAGEMENT
1
•
STEP 1: Assess your strengths and weaknesses: invest time
in honing and maintaining your strengths, and improve the
weaknesses that you need to overcome to reach your goals.
•
STEP 2: Set specific and definable goals for
yourself, both academic and personal.
•
STEP 3: Create a calendar with all events including major
events or deadlines.
•
STEP 4; From this, create a weekly schedule: that reflects
all activities you are responsible for on a weekly basis.
6
11. •
STEP 5: Create a to-do list for each day: this should
follow the basic understanding of Covey’s Principle-Based
Time Management Matrix, which the next part of the
report will discuss.
•
STEP 6: Control: remember not to procrastinate and if
any tasks are not completed on the day, rescheduling
the event is important as long at the event is of
importance.
•
NOTE: A schedule will only work if you utilize it.
Simply committing a list of activities to paper will
not suddenly create a situation in which you can manage
your time better. Keep your schedule in a prominent
location where you can see it daily and refer to it
several times throughout the day.

12. COVEY’S PRINCIPLE-BASED TIME MANAGEMENT
MATRIX
Covey’s Principle-Based Time Management Matrix is a
representation of his theories which describe that the
effective self-manager establishes goals that are based
on personal and ethical principles. To “begin with the
end in mind” and to develop a persona mission statement
or philosophy or creed that “focuses on what you want to
be and to do and on the values or principles upon which
being and doing are based”.
Once this is established you can manage time around a
decision-making core of what is truly important vs. what
is simply urgent.
The essence of this idea is illustrated in the following
matrix:
8
13. COVEY’S PRINCIPLE-BASED TIME MANAGEMENT
MATRIX
Urgent
Important:
Not Important:
Not Urgent
I. Important/Urgent
Crises; Pressing problems;
Deadline-driven projects.
II. Important/Not Urgent
Principle Centered Activities;
Planning; Prevention;
Relationship building;
Opportunity Recognition;
True Recreational Activities.
III. Not Important/Urgent
Imminent pressing matters;
"Popular" Activities (i.e., activities
that you think will make you
popular with others); Personal
Interruptions; Some calls and
mail; Certain meetings and
reports.
IV. Not Important/Not Urgent
Time wasters; So called
"Pleasant" activities that are not
really pleasant (e.g., drinking to
excess) that are actually
escapes from
responsibilities. Trivia, busy
work. Some types of mail/phone
calls.
9
14. DESCRIPTION OF COVEY’S PRINCIPLE-BASED
TIME MANAGEMENT MATRIX
•
Quadrant I: (upper left)
This quadrant describes urgent matters that are deadlinedriven that require immediate attention. The importance
of this and the other quadrants refers to producing
results by contributing “to your mission, your
values, and your high priority goals”.
•
Quadrant II: (upper right)
This quadrant is where one classifies
planning, innovating and developmental opportunities;
matters of extremely high importance, but not urgency.
One should be a Quadrant II dweller as by performing
these activities, we not only avoiding wasting time, but
learn how to better deal with Quadrant I, and prevent
occurrences that force us into Quadrant III.
10
15. •
Quadrant III: (lower left)
In this quadrant, time is spent on unimportant matters
that are “urgent” simply because others make it appear
that these matters are important. Those who spend their
time in this quadrant usually think they are in Quadrant
I, however they are actually basing the sense of urgency
on the priorities and expectations of others.
•
Quadrant IV: (lower right)
Quadrant IV activities, such as excessive drinking and/or
gambling, should be avoided at all costs. It is a highly
ineffective way to spend time better spent in the other
quadrants.

as an educated estimate on the typical ideal personal time management one would
be encouraged to mimic. The purpose of these graphs are for comparison, and
further analysis and interpretation of effective time management.
13
18. DESCRIPTION OF IDEAL TIME MANAGEMENT
The Ideal Personal Time Management graph is based
according to a student’s lifestyle.
The 15% spent in Quadrant I is necessary due to the
amount of deadline-driven assignments and projects that
are continually given to a student.
However, generally it is important to spend around 80% of
one’s time in Quadrant II, and only 5% in Quadrant III
for meetings and calls/mails.
No time should be spent in Quadrant IV.
14
19. KEEP YOUR BALANCE
Every schedule or personal time
management strategies, regardless of
style or design, must have balance.
Every student, no matter what their
personal desires and goals may
happen to be, need a balanced lifestyle in order to be more
efficient, successful, healthy and
happy.

21. OVERCOMING DISTRACTIONS
1
One of my weaknesses is being distracted. Although these
distractions don’t last very long, they are still a waste
of time that could be used more effectively and
efficiently. Here are a few ideas to overcoming these
distractions:
•
Allow time to be spontaneous.
•
Be realistic in one’s planning, set aside free time.
•
Take advantage of one’s natural cycles and schedule the
most difficult activities when one it at one’s best.
•
Learn to say “No” to people.
•
Reward oneself for effective time management.

22. CONCLUSION
Evidence from this presentation suggests that developing priorities is crucial
to any successful time management technique. Without priorities it can be
difficult to get anything accomplished or focus on the most critical tasks.
In general, therefore, it is important to remember to always allow room for
flexibility, as some things are inevitably going to occur out of one’s
control, and while one cannot plan for these occurrences, one can leave enough
room in one’s schedule to adjust plans for unexpected events.
Avoiding procrastination is as simple as developing better decision making
skills and techniques. The reality is decision-making is not a complex issue and
rather is nothing more than choosing one course of action from several
possibilities.
It is very important to learn how to delegate, successful managers and leaders
make it an art form.
Taken together, these findings support strong recommendations to pursue good
time management as it will enable one to respond appropriately and be flexible
enough to ensure that even problems won’t completely derail one’s goals.
