This document discusses how mobile devices are changing information seeking behavior. Key points:
1) Mobiles allow information access anywhere and anytime, increasing the amount of needs met but possibly reducing depth.
2) Mobiles provide widespread information access for all people, shifting away from privileged access through "big deals."
3) Mobile information seeking is more abbreviated than on desktops, with less time spent and interaction per visit. Differences exist between devices with tablets generating metrics closer to desktops.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adaptation of some of the world’s most popular websites to the “post-pc era” of using multiple devices for accessing the web. Up till recently the PC used to be the only device used for accessing the WWW. This has changed dramatically over the past few years with the introduction of many powerful Internet-connected devices such as Smart Phones, Tablets and Smart TVs. Due to the many differences between these devices in terms of screen size,
hardware power, input methods etc. in most cases a PC-optimized website is not optimally viewed in these devices,
resulting in poor usability and User Experience. In this survey 49
of the world’s most visited websites, according to Alexa.com, are
being examined to see if they offer optimized versions for
Internet-connected mobile devices and Smart TVs. Results show
wide support for mobile devices in contrast to very limited
support for Smart TVs.

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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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:
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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!

2. The dam bursts!
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
Not so long ago (2008) CIBER surprised information professionals with
revelations of what the Google Generation were up to in the virtual,
unmediated information space [report opposite]
But seen nothing yet, with information professionals barely taken breath and
stock, another revolution is on us, and is has a greater weight behind it
Google Generation (and the rest of us) have been empowered by a mobile
device (smartphone/tablet) that will take a form of behaviour alleged as
‘extreme’ to a completely different level. The end of culture as we
know it!
First transition, from physical to digital, transformed the way we seek, read, trust
and consume information, but environment in which we conduct these
activities had not really changed – still in the library/office, and on a device
primarily designed for the desk/office bound.
Next year mobile becomes the main platform for accessing the web
3. And bursts again!
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
1. Mobiles mean can meet information needs at time of need, rather than cold store until reach
the office, library or home. Mean more needs are met, but perhaps not always that well.
2. ‘Big deals’ provide fantastic access to information to a privileged few; mobile provides
access to masses of information for everyone and anywhere; and, open access increasing
the haul;
3. Social media devices and stride major information worlds, informal & formal;
4. An intrinsic part of the digital consumer purchasing process – used to search for information
prior to purchase, during process itself and to make purchase.
5. Trust mobile more than any form of information/communication technology. Its their library.
Pay back time: banned mobile has become the library!
6. Smaller screens and different ways of interacting (via touch screens and voice recognition
rather than keyboards and mice) and this impacts on use.
4. And bursts again!
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
• Not computational devices but access devices; also social,
personal, cool and massively popular. A very heady cocktail!
• Mobiles devices have a huge potential to:
a) draw in a larger and more diverse audience for scholarly
information
b) [further] change the nature of information seeking behaviour
and to do this for billions of people,
• Despite the considerable challenges for all stakeholders in
information industry know very little about a) how users behave
in the mobile environment; b) how differently this behavior is
from that associated with laptops and desktops.
5. Basic characteristics of (fast) digital information
seeking behaviour
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
Foundations of digital behaviour already in place (brain rewiring) on which mobileinduced behaviour will build, so worth going over them
Hyperactive: love choice and looking. Connected to big fat information pipe 24/7
Bouncers: most people view only 1-2 pages from thousands available; 3 is many
Promiscuous: around 40% do not come back
One-shots: one visit, one page
Because:
•Search engine searching (lists) and links (enjoined to go elsewhere)
•Massive and changing choice
•So much rubbish out there
•Poor retrieval skills (2.2 words per query; first page up on Google)
•Forget: leave memories in cyberspace; adds to ‘churn’ rate
•Direct result of end-user checking
•Multi-tasking - more pleasurable doing several things at once
6. Horizontal has replaced the vertical, reading is ‘out’ and fast information ‘in’
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
• Information seeking wise ‘skitter’ (moving rapidly along a surface, with frequent
light contacts or changes of direction). Power browse.
• Nobody does much reading or not what is traditionally thought to be reading
(reading whole documents). A read can mean 10-15% of a doc. Logs tell us:
• Scholars go online to avoid reading; prefer the visual
• Only a few minutes spent on a visit; 15 minutes is a very long time;
• Shorter articles have much bigger chance of being used; short story books
designed the digital universe
• Abstracts never been so popular
• Fast information. (Information) snack/bite has replaced the three course meal
(whole document)
• Conditioned by emailing, text messaging, tweeting and PowerPoint to like fast
shots of information. Mobiles, of course, the ultimate take-away
7. Now what then of mobile behaviour: case study
Europeana (gateway to European culture)
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
8. Europeana mobile use
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
• Mobile usage growing at 5 times greater than ‘fixed’ devices
• A staggering rise of nearly 400% in last six months
• 130,000 unique mobile users accessed Europeana in last 6 months
• Over 90% Apple Mac devices; iPads the vast majority
• Information ‘lite. Visits from mobiles much less interactive: fewer
records/pages viewed, fewer searches conducted; less time spent on a visit.’
• Differences between devices: limited screen real estate and slowness of
Blackberry means use very abbreviated indeed, iPhone quite abbreviated
and iPad generates metrics closer to desktops/laptops. Little depth research
on show.
• Mobile use peaks at nights and weekends; that from desktops on
Wednesdays and late afternoon. Searching and reading has moved into the
social space
9. CIBER dashboard: fixed and mobile user information seeking compared
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
Duration of visit (seconds)
Page views per visit
Queries per visit
Time per page (seconds)
Record views per visit
Visits from mobile devices are much less interactive: fewer records/pages viewed, fewer searches conducted;
less time spent on a visit but longer on a page
.
10. CIBER dashboard: mobile platforms compared
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
Duration of visit (seconds)
Page views per visit
Time per page (seconds)
Queries per visit
Record views per visit
Big differences: limited screen real estate and slowness of the Blackberry clearly a limiting factor for in-depth research. On the other hand,
the tablet iPad generates usage metrics that are not hugely dissimilar from desktops or laptops.
11. The mobile, borderless information environment and
challenges for libraries (maybe publishers too)
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
•
Constitutes another MASSIVE round of disintermediation and
migration. Relatively speaking the library’s information universe has shrunk
as a result of everyone else’s being massively expanded. Researchers’
information horizons once bound by the library but not anymore.
•
Libraries perceived as incomplete sources of information and researchers
increasingly less likely to trust librarians to make the critical decisions on
what is and what is not in the walled garden on their behalf.
•
On top of that Google Scholar, Social media etc. create a new value
proposition by providing citation and other (alt) metrics so users can form
own views on what is a good. Substitute for the intermediary.
•
Libraries need to articulate value or rationale for their collections in a
borderless information environment. Mobile just adds to the problems
•
The changed platform and environment transforms information
consumption
12. Final reflections: is the web and the mobile device
making us stupid?
CAR PURCHASE COMPARI
"There is the desire of a consumer society to have no learning
curves. This tends to result in very dumbed-down products that
are easy to get started on, but are generally worthless and/or
debilitating. We can contrast this with technologies that do have
learning curves, but pay off well and allow users to become
experts (for example, musical instruments, writing, bicycles, etc.
and to a lesser extent automobiles)."
•
Where are we going with information, learning and mobile devices?
Editor's Notes
IDC forecasts a five per cent drop in sales of desk-based computers between 2012 and 2017, portable PC growth of at least 19 per cent, tabs soaring 174.5 per cent and smartphones rising 109.9 per cent.
