The document discusses a study on users' perceptions of an e-menu prototype for a Thai restaurant. It identifies several issues with the prototype based on user feedback, such as the inability to enter order quantities or customer comments directly from the main menu. The document then provides recommendations to address these issues, such as allowing quantity selection and comment entry on the main menu screen to streamline the ordering process.

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.

"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.

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).

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.
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.

14. 14 OTH ER R EC OMMEN D ATIONS
1. The e-menu could show advertisement of food, drinks and
restaurant promotions when customers are dining.
2. The restaurant could create an application, which can be
installed on customers devices to order takeaway food online.
3. The system could support online booking
4. The system could support mapping between an order item and
ordering person to make it easier to serve.
Editor's Notes
The feature can reduce human error because chefs might cook wrong because they misunderstand English language.Furthermore, the current paper-based process, waiting staffs translate English to Thai language before sending order to the kitchen.
Feedback from users: A requirement when customer order drinks is the system should help a restaurant customer to be easy to order a same items by using quantity. Although, the system can fill the quantity in the screen of menu details, the manager told that it is still difficult the put and he suggested that e-menu should allow a restaurant customer entry the quantity on the main menu screen.
Comment by the restaurant managerSome comment from customers might make chefs to be difficult to cook. Therefore, the restaurant manager recommended that this feature should be used for specific options e.g. rare, medium, or well done for steak.
Calling main course is an important function because if customers do not call main course, chefs will not cook for them.Therefore, calling main course feature should to be easy to use.Furthermore, it should show status of calling main course on the screen.
This is an implicit requirements:Feedback from the restaurant manager: The system sorts menu categories from starter, main course and drinks, respectively. He also commented that the menu categories should start with drinks because customers are likely to order drinks firstly. Potential benefit from the prototype:Therefore, after the prototype was presented, it help the manager was easily to give comment and feedback. That is better than develop the final product then testing because it always difficult to change database design and source code.
