Effective communication is all about conveying your messages to other people clearly and unambiguously. It's also about receiving information that others are sending to you, with as little distortion as possible.
Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages muddled by the sender, or misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity.

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.

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 communication skills

that it has taken place.” --
George Bernard Shaw

Communication Components
All communication includes five fundamental components.
Someone who begins the
Sender communication process.
Someone who receives the
Receiver communication.
The method of sending the
Medium or Channel message.
Message The intent of the message.
Effect The impact of the message.
16
15. X
The Communication Process
• The communication process begins when a message is
conceived by the SENDER.
• The message is then ENCODED and TRANSMITTED
through a particular MEDIUM or CHANNEL.
Idea: mental images, i.e.
thoughts, opinions, emotions,
pictures.
Sender
Encode: put into words, drawn,
Idea Encode Transmit etc.
Transmit: telephone, letter,
memo, email, body language,
tone of voice, etc.
17
16. X
The Communication Process
• The Receiver RECEIVES, DECODES and INTERPRETS
the message.
• The Receiver then returns a signal or FEEDBACK in some
way to indicate whether or not the message has been
understood as the Sender intended.

The Communication Process
There are even more things at work with communication that could
challenge its effectiveness. For instance, each of us has a set of filters –
or perceptions – of how we ‘see’ the world. Then there’s the “NOISE”
factor.

Filters in Communication
‘Filters’ represent our perceptions of everything we encounter and are
based on the sum total of who we are.”
Filters impact:
1. How we see others,
2. How we interpret
situations, and
3. How we act and feel.
“We don't see things as
they are, we see them
as we are.”

At any point along the communication process, there is a possibility of
disruption. In order for communication to be complete, the sender gets
