This is a PDF of my keynote for DesignOps Global Conference 2019 [https://designops-conference.com/day-2-may-31/]
This is about exploring a framework to build a scalable, portable design system for collaboration and automation by machines.
This keynote is part of Session 4.
Session 4 | (PM) DesignOps in the era of AI and cognitive computing
How are different organizations leveraging people-to-people, people-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions and autonomous systems to design and create new products and services? How do companies need to change their design practices and development processes in the era of cognitive computing and what roles will DesignOps play?

In this talk we’ll uncover our journey in creating a Design System for Skyscanner and share our learnings on how we sold it to the business by proving its worth. We’ll talk through some of the design and tech considerations we’ve made and share the tools and techniques which have helped us along the way.
This is the story of how we doubled the conversion rate on HubSpot.com, by leveraging a lean design process that's focused on rapid iteration and objectivity. Get an in-depth look at our distinctive UX process and how we've applied it at a public company with over 1,600 employees across 7 global offices. See exactly how it works and walk through every step of a real project, where we redesigned HubSpot.com in a period of less than 3 months. See the results, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and how we achieved them. Walk away with all of the information that you need to apply a similar process at your company. This isn’t another abstract process talk; it’s a hands-on session with actionable learnings and take-aways, backed up by data and a well-documented case study.
Will Robots Replace Designers? No. It's more like an exoskeleton for designers. Algorithm-driven design tools can help us to construct a UI, prepare assets and content, and personalize the user experience. In 2016 the technological foundations of these tools became easily accessible, and the design community got interested in algorithms, neural networks and artificial intelligence (AI). Now is the time to rethink the modern role of the designer.
With a practical approach this presentation tries to answer the following questions: What is Agile Architecture? Why is investing in architecture important for agile and autonomous development teams? How can you establish an effective architecture governance practice in an agile organisation with autonomous and cross functional development teams.
In this session we will discuss the use of Agile constructs within the domain of software architecture. This will include an exploration of how to balance emergent designs with intentional planning. Additional ancillary topics will also be addressed including: common architecture principles, guidelines for measuring good architecture, and an evaluation of agile techniques.
By the end of the session, attendees will have a new perspective on architecture that will empower them to create flexible software solutions.

OSDC 2019 | Feature Branching considered Evil by Thierry de PauwNETWAYS
With DVCSs, branch creation became very easy, but it comes at a certain cost. Long living branches break the flow of the software delivery process, impacting stability and throughput. The session explores why teams are using feature branches, what problems are introduced by using them and what techniques exist to avoid them altogether. It explores exactly what’s evil about feature branches, which is not necessarily the problems they introduce – but rather, the real reasons why teams are using them. After the session, you’ll understand a different branching strategy and how it relates to CI/CD.

My presentation from Devoxx Poland 2015.
There is no doubt about it - we live in the times very comfortable for IT engineers. Most of all software developers. Especially Java developers. Job market is hot. Software developers have countless options - thousands of companies from Poland and abroad fight for employees in Poland. And they offer very reasonable money - especially when compared to other professions. It’s very natural and tempting to let employers adore yourself and rest on laurels. One can already see a lot o victims of this situation. Very friendly job market is de facto our biggest enemy. How do 5, 10 or 15 or more years of the experience in our industry change the perception of Java platform and most of all the perception of ourselves - our position and value as professional Java developers? What are the real caveats of our profession and our beloved platform? What is really important for us - devs? Does the knowledge of Java turns us into professional immortals? Wojtek tries to answer such questions or trigger the audience to rethink their approach to it. In a quite opinionated manner he will debunk some myths of Java developer ethos - basing on many observations and meetings with people from our industry.
We talked about the evolution and interpretation of Lean and/or Toyota Production System (TPS) and their relationship with Scrum. It is interesting how they complement each other. In one sense, it is interesting how Scrum is hardly more than a PDCA cycle. But on the other hand it really enhances the PDCA cycle in the spirit of teamwork and flow.

SADT & IDEF0 for Augmenting UML, Algile & Usability EngineeringDavid Marca
Correct and complete context for software engineering requires domain modeling. Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT/IDEF0) is a proven way to model any kind of domain. This talk explains how SADT/IDEF0 domain modeling can bring correct and complete domain knowledge, including all required context, to today’s commonplace disciplines of Agile System Development, Unified Modeling Language (UML) methodology, and Usability Engineering methods.

I successfully defended my master thesis in May 2012. It was assessed with A, which is the highest grade according to a six-point grading scale of Tallinn University. I believe that not only my paper, but also its presentation was clear and logical, which helped me to receive fair, adequate questions from the judges.
I hope, these slides will help future students to make their own presentations for theses. Sometimes presentation becomes a decisive factor when judges argue about your grade.
Good luck!

What Does the Webinar Cover?
You'll learn how to optimize varying parameters and disciplines throughout the lifecycle of the system within cost and schedule constraints without compromising performance. Real MBSE enables the execution of many activities in parallel, thus enabling the “faster and cheaper” part.
Many people can contribute to the design and development at the same time, because the information they create can be easily linked together to form abstractions that enable you to communicate the results at all levels. Dr. Dam uses a methodology that includes the technique, processes, and tools.
This methodology isn’t the only way to have a successful MBSE capability, but all three elements must be incorporated in any methodology you use. We offer this methodology as one that has proven successful over the past decade. It is based on methodologies used since the 1960s, but updated to the modern cloud computing, artificial intelligence age; that's now emerging toward the end of the second decade of the 21st Century.
Often people today work in a similar manner to how their grandparents worked in the 1960s, just with electronic tools instead of paper and pencil. Just creating a “model” doesn’t mean you are doing effective MBSE. This webinar will show you how to take MBSE into the 21st century.
The Design System is an essential part of today's UX world which provides agility and performance in the longer term. Atomic Design is a part of Design System for designers and developers to build the parts of a complete design.
Zeeto Tech Exchange: Design for Scalability - UXZeetoSlides
Zeeto is a technology platform that makes online properties and mobile apps money by asking their visitors smart questions and using their answers to display high-value ads.
The Zeeto Tech Exchange is a leading San Diego tech community group that meets on a monthly basis to discuss, debate and network. "Design for Scalabality" was presented in February 2017.
Do you have a monolith? If so, is it majestic? Or is it broken and preventing you from scaling your application and your business?
Monoliths have earned a bad reputation in software architecture design circles for being difficult to maintain and operating on silos of knowledge. However, they aren't all bad. The key is knowing when to use a monolith, and when it is time re-factor and scale up by going small.
Software Architecture and the role of the Architect has been discussed and deliberated in detail. Architecture still plays major role in success of projects. While the fundamentals remain strong, how architects can contribute in teams success while in agile is an ongoing journey. As the team member endowed with skills and wisdom acquired over the experience frame, we argue Architects are best positioned to prepare a road-map of architectural aspects and participate in planning together with product owners and release owners thus enabling a more meaningful planning and guidance system. Based on Risk and Cost Based Architecture concept by Eltjo Poort and based on CAFFEA framework by Jan Bosch and team, we applied it in projects which led to seeing it as a six stepped approach described in the slides.
There is certain topic discussed in every company: communication between departments.
As FE developers, we sit in between UX designers and BE developers.
Our apps must follow the guidelines from the UX, be compatible with the BE APIs while meeting the business requirements from our POs.
In this presentation I am addressing the relationship between UX and FE devs.
One way to collaborate better with our UX colleagues is to… learn a bit of UX and maybe share some Front End knowledge with them too.
Design Systems have reached peak popularity. It seems that every design team has either built one, is building one, or wants to build one. With the release of the incredible Nested Symbols feature followed by Sketch Libraries just a few months ago, Sketch has emerged as an essential part of the Design System workflow.
In this talk we will be covering:
• Best of breed Design Systems out in the wild
• Demo of the Design System from FathomHQ
• Exploring essential Sketch plugins & tools for a seamless workflow
• Handy hacks for getting your Design System project rolling
• Roll out strategies for Design Systems

Empowering Web-Accessibility through Artificial Intelligence (AI) _5Apr202...Samir Dash
A study by webaim.org on accessibility in 2023 found that 96.3% of home pages had been found to have problems with aligning to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WebAIM: The WebAIM Million - the 2023 Report on the Accessibility of the Top 1,000,000 Home Pages. 29 Mar. 2023, webaim.org/projects/million). To address these issues, an AI-enabled system is proposed to dynamically enhance web accessibility. The system uses machine learning algorithms to identify and rectify accessibility issues in real-time, integrating with exist-ing development workflows. Empirical evaluation and case studies demon-strate the efficacy of this solution in improving web accessibility across diverse scenarios.

3 hrs Workshop | Category: Design Practice & Process | Target Audience: Anyone who is interested in optimising the processes used in the enterprise or building solutions that focuses on process reengineering are the most suitable audience for the first part of the workshop. Any User-Experience pro, Design Thinker, Service designer and product-management professional can be benefitted. The second part of the workshop is helpful for the designers and UI developers who use the design system or would like to build scalable design system for their organization or team. Basic understanding of HTML and CSS is good enough for the 2nd part of the workshop.
The workshop will focus on two aspects of DesOps, namely the process and eco-system. The process aspect will be identifying touch points in the enterprise, and try to optimize that with some solution using technology. The ‘eco-system’ part of the workshop will focus on the a building a sample design system using Nuclear Design Model to make it scalable and extensible.
Three key takeaways:
Basics of DesOps from process and eco-System Angle.
Learn about how to identify touch-points in the process /workflow that can be optimised to bring automation or technological solutions.
Learn about the basics of of Nuclear Design Model and applying to build open, scalable and extensible design systems.

Semantic Design System : Redefining Design Systems for DesOps - v1.0 1sep 2018Samir Dash
"Design System" plays a critical role in bringing a common language and consistency in experience across different products and brands of the organisation, along with fuelling a collaborative approach towards design, making it easier for different team members to contribute.
With observation of design systems, we can notice, almost all of them are having different structure and approach to define these, and almost none of them can be directly used in automation of design as they are not semantic in nature. Therefore most of these current approaches to design systems are not future-proof for tomorrow's design operations (DesOps). Samir coins the "Semantic Design System", that address this issue, and focuses building a design system, that is equally human-readable and at the same time understood by the machine for the next generation of design operation with automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The talk also introduces, what Samir believes as "Nuclear Design", an approach that helps in to lay out a framework that is the foundation for building design systems with semantics.

This is a paper presented by Samir Dash at Department of English, Baba Bhairabananda Autonomous Mahavidyalaya, Jajpur, Odisha (http://bbmchandikhole.org/) on 16 July 2018
This UGC seminar session was an attempt to understand, from a non-traditional lens, the relevance of critical theory in context to today’s ever-changing technology space that is moving towards the Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Distributed Computing, become much more important in history than ever, as it deals with softer aspects of human identity and socio-cultural dimension through communication or human expression.
This interactive session will have two major focus:
1. A brief overview of the critical theories from a diachronic lens that will be helping the students in grasping the fundamentals in a socio-cultural context.
2. A cross-discipline comparison with the modern design-driven practices in the software industry that would help the students understand the potential and opportunities in the real world scenario where these theories would help.

Rediscovering Accessibility for Future Tech - Everyone is affected!Samir Dash
his is a rediscovery of “Accessibility” in the world of touch-screens and other natural interfaces. With new technology innovation the lines between accessibility technology and Technology for Mass are getting blurred. What used to be a special need is becoming a general need for mass use.Situational Disabilities Use-cases are defining the new age devices, wearable & smart interfaces.
High time we need to rediscover on “accessibility” what we think we have already discovered!
Flip the Cart! : Reimagining Next in eCommerceSamir Dash
eCommerce has one of the strongest buzz that we come across now a days. Specially after the success of Amazon and Flipkart, the domain is seen as a goldmine that can help in bringing the disruptive business models to increase profit and business. So what is the next in eCommerce? I tried to conceptualise and re-imagine it from a socio-integrated experience. Following are some insights and sample sides that present those attempts.
Want to innovate beyond what Flaipkart & Amazon are doing in e-commerce? This might help.
Socio-cultural User Experience (SX) and Social Interaction Design (SxD)Samir Dash
This paper introduces the ‘socio-cultural’ dimension of User Experience (UX) and Interaction Design (IxD) with reference to emerging devices and related eco-systems.
Socio-Cultural User Experience (SX) – the missing piece in UX:
I have coined the term ‘SX’ aka ‘Socio-Cultural User Experience’ to represent the aspect of Usability Design or User Experience (UX) that deals with usability aspect of products/ software in a social context.
Social Interaction Design (SxD) – Helping IxD to Focus on Context and Environment of the User
I am using the term ‘SxD’ aka ‘Social Interaction Design’ that deals with the ‘social aspect’ of Human – Computer - Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (IxD) that focuses on usability design in context of how the user is interactive with the app in specific socio-cultural context.
Considering the ‘Others’ in the User’s Social Circle:
The existing UX model does not analyze the need beyond the current user and his ‘type’ to do a usability test -- it never considers how it is impacting the other members of the society while the target user set is using the app/system.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

Design Model
So that a pattern can be extended to
form another and build a class
relationships to handle variations and
scale the design system to add new
verities of patterns.
Scalable / Extensible?
So one design system can be ported
or mapped to another design system
and it can be easily adapted to any
existing brand system or design-
system.
