How to Build, When to Buy: Scalable Tactics for Digital Projects and Services
Knowing when to build or buy software is an ongoing topic that has existed for decades, but answers evolve alongside trends in museum staffing and software business models.
How do you respond when vendors and agencies are filling your inbox with listicles on why you should buy their solutions? What if an energetic developer wants to build sharable and open solutions that will require maintainers? How can museums with very different resources and personnel share tactics in a meaningful way?

Opening Our Doors Wider
The purpose of this presentation is to present the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum as a case study of a cultural heritage institution that is completely revamping its approach to inclusion through setting a new standard for accessibility of its digital exhibition interactives and media. Considered a vital part of transforming the museum, NASM has had to re-examine all aspects of producing digital exhibition elements in pursuit of its new approach, and will share this, as well as lessons learned along the way. I will direct this presentation primarily to cultural heritage professionals who are creating a new exhibition or redoing all of their exhibitions, and who are looking to improve the inclusivity of their digital interactives and media pieces. From this presentation, these cultural heritage professionals would gain an understanding of: 1) considerations that go into a wholesale revamping of a cultural institution’s revamping of their accessibility approach; 2) tactics for improving the inclusivity of their interactives for people with vision, brain, hearing, and mobility-based disabilities; and 3) internal and external stakeholders to involve throughout the process.

MW20 Inside the Climate Converter
When the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) started developing its new long-term Te Taiao Nature exhibition they knew they had to talk about the harmful impact of climate change in a way that will leave visitors feeling inspired to take action. From research they knew that climate change is the global issue their audience cares most about, but in testing, target audiences said that they felt overloaded, scared, and stuck when it came to thinking about climate change.
Based on this user research Te Papa defined clear and specific aims for the Climate Converter experience. The core goal was to create an experience that left visitors feeling motivated to take action together to create a carbon-zero New Zealand. The installation needed to take up a maximum floor space of approximately 5 metres by 8 metres and function without host/docent guidance.
This lightning talk will map the iterative journey of creative, technical and scientific collaboration to produce an interactive and immersive room to confront this polarizing subject matter. How did we approach creating “Climate Converter”? How can we empower visitors to critically engage with the issues? And what have we learned from the collaboration between Experience Designers, Creative Technologists, Museum Professionals and Scientists?
After attending this session participants will have an understanding of the processes involved in producing ambitious interactive digital projects. We hope that by reflecting and sharing lessons learned, museum professionals, creative technologists, educators, and curators, will be encouraged to think about ways to use technology to create impact towards a carbon-neutral future.
Magus Cagliostro, Wonders.do, Israel: Art of Escape, Magic, and immersive sto...
In the past years the concept of Immersive Storytelling has taken root in art and play, entering fields such as theatres, documentaries, games and education. The idea is to break the barriers between spectator and media and to create a "real life" experience – for amusement or instruction. Magus Cagliostro has been using principles of Immersive Storytelling and "real life" experience in a different way: It all began with a search for creative ways to bring new audiences to museums and to control audience flow. The idea was to use principles of Immersive Storytelling to create a fascinating story that is based on the museum's contents, but which takes place entirely within the players minds. Since the summer of 2017, six exciting projects were created by Cagliostro in collaboration with museums in Israel and Europe. The stories are based on a specific scene and its contents – whether it is Art, history or science. By doing this, the plot merges with the scene and the players become closely involved with it as they follow the game. Virtual reality is achieved by purely analogue means, relying on the audience’s own power of imagination. Now, Magus Cagliostro, escape artist and magician, invites you to learn more about how escape art, magic performance, and storytelling can be applied to the sphere of museum curating. Come and see how the basic museum visit can be turned into an entirely new experience, full of surprises, mystery and magic. In this limitless escape game, there is always more than meets the eye, and there is no one better to reveal that than a true magician.

A Crisis of Capacity - Adam Moriarty
At the Auckland Museum, we are looking at how can we harness the power of a global workforce, free software, and social media to embrace the changes made by the digital revolution. Can we use the “gig economy,” machine learning, and the power of the crowd to solve our backlog problems head-on? Can these new ways of working help us to free our time for the more creative and innovative aspects of our roles? Is it better to have an AI-created record online than no record at all? What are the ethical implementations of automated, computer-generated content for museums?

Designing a 'No Interface' Audiowalk"
https://mw19.mwconf.org/paper/designing-a-no-interface-audio-walk/
Approaching “Dark Heritage” Through Essential Questions: An Interactive Digit...
The potential of digital storytelling in cultural heritage has been widely recognized as an effective technique for communicating heritage interpretation to the public. In this paper, we explore its application in a "dark heritage" setting—a cultural heritage site associated with death, atrocity and human depravity. Although literature within the field of dark heritage emphasizes a fascination with death as the main (if not sole) motive for visiting, according to some studies and the visitor study we performed in the context of our work, motives are in fact varied, and include a desire to learn and understand the history presented and an interest in having an emotional heritage experience. Borrowing from education, we use the notion of "essential questions" as a tool to lead to a deeper understanding of human nature. Following a user-centered design methodology, we develop an interactive digital storytelling experience for the Criminology Museum of the University of Athens. The resulting experience is adapted so as to be tested on-site and through the web. We conclude the work with our insight on guidelines for sites with similar characteristics as well as addressing open issues and challenges for the application of digital storytelling in dark-heritage contexts.

Reimagining the Audio Tour for Levinthal’s War, Myth, Desire
Kate Meyers Emery, George Eastman Museum, USA
The works featured in David Levinthal’s War, Myth, Desire gave us a unique challenge when designing the engagement around it: the photographs feature toys, but they are put into adult scenarios. Topics of his works include using green army men to depict World War II, figurines in various states of bondage, and a series called Bad Barbie, where barbie dolls, well… go bad. In order to be open about the nature of his works, and inspire our guests to talk about them, we decided to forgo the normal audio tour and create a podcast.
Podcasts are a forms of digital audio that often prioritizes discussion and dialogue over one-way lectures. Instead of having someone tell you how you’re supposed to feel or what you’re supposed to be seeing, we imagined a podcast that would be a discussion between the hosts, the artist, and a variety of experts who could offer different opinions on the work. The hope was that the guests would feel that they too could have varying opinions, and experts could place Levinthal’s work into the broader historical and cultural context.
Though it took much longer to produce and coordinate than an average audio tour, the results have been worth it. The 30-minute podcast features a diverse group of voices that offer opinions on topics from the history of toys to black memorabilia to the Wild West. We found an increase in visitor engagement with the audio, that it improved interaction within the exhibition, and that we were able to use clips and quotes from the audio in a variety of ways to improve the exhibition both on site and online.

Web writing for museums: Analyzing principles and best writing practices for ...
Museum communication professionals have developed theories and knowledge about museum texts and institutional discourse. However, over the past decades, the digital revolution has brought about deep changes in our behavior with respect to written words in digital support. Such support can be found not only on the web (virtual museums and institutional websites), but also in exhibit facilities, through interactive interfaces, apps, QR Codes and other digital media that form our contemporary exhibits. This requires a change in current writing paradigms toward the best ways to impart knowledge in museums and over the Internet. Therefore, the various players responsible for museum texts (curators, museologists, historians etc.) are now required to master several previously non-existent skills. In this work we want to discuss writing in museums starting from digital support, both for the web and for interactive exhibitors. We created writing guidelines based on new web writing techniques and current demands, without prejudice to the primary functions of a museum. As an example of our reflections, we intend to study the case of the Project “Wise Stones (Pedras Sabidas) Interactive Exhibitors’ Accessible Circuit”, which is a roadmap consisting of accessible digital interfaces, exposed at the Mines and Metal Museum (MM Gerdau) in the City of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This Project received an award from the Ibermuseus Program in 2016. In this work we analyze, therefore, the written production both of the project’s website and of the interactive interfaces’ content, exemplifying, through the Wise Stones Accessible Circuit, that which we define as “exhiwriting” (digital exhibition writing). This is a proposal of web writing principles for museums, encompassing the best writing practices for social media and for the web, without giving up the sophistication and depth required by museum communication, thus fulfilling our museums’ social function.

Museum Collections on Wikipedia: Opening Up to Open Data Initiatives
The Web has become an important source of information, made possible by structured data. Open linked data enables ubiquitous presence as machines increasingly filter our views—via preferred search engines, the knowledge graph, or Siri—particularly of content found in Wikidata. In this paper, we identify paintings in Wikidata and analyze their usage in the English Wikipedia to find substantial impact. Our results provide evidence that publication of collections as open data facilitate an increase in views, enriched data, automatic translation, and magnified visibility. We find that the usage of paintings and views present a long-tail structure with an underrepresentation of contemporary paintings. Collaborations between museums and Wikimedia yield increased impact, yet projects are unsustainable. We propose an adjusted work-flow to accommodate for Wikimedia projects and amplify the impact of opening museum collections data.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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 Calisthenics
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!
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and Sales
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
