The document discusses moderation of social media websites. It addresses the need for clear rules and policies for user registration, as well as strategies for pre-moderation versus post-moderation of content. The document also notes that active user participation and content increases engagement of readers on a site. Finally, it raises questions about the value of user-generated content.
Bridging the Distance through Agile Game DevelopmentFinnur Magnusson
Aðalsteinn "Alli" Óttarsson", Technical Producer CCP.
Synopsis:
Massively multiplayer online game developer CCP has been pursuing a multi-product development effort and has teams scattered across the globe. In 2008 CCP decided transition the production of its flagship product EVE Online to agile development and at the same time release their most ambitious expansion to the online universe. In order to
achieve this CCP shifted a large portion of their globally
distributed resources from working on separate local projects to one unified development effort using Scrum.
While getting an insight into the fascinating field of game
development attendees will learn about the structure of the project, its roll-out and how the company as a whole transitioned to Agile throughout the release and how the entire development arm of the company has now unified around the framework. Alli covers the biggest hurdles and impediments the company was faced with and how they were solved as well as how the development teams and management embraced agility and the cultural change.
This document discusses social networks and casual gaming. It outlines social features like reactions, ratings, comments, and user generated content that can be incorporated into casual games. It also discusses using the social graph through persona pages, relationships, and promotions. The document argues that community management and user engagement will be highly valuable for the future of marketing casual games across social networks.
The document provides an overview of the gaming industry in Iceland in 2008. It discusses the major Icelandic gaming companies, including CCP Games, Betware, and Gogogic. CCP Games employed over 400 people and was recognized as a global leader in MMOs. The gaming industry in Iceland employed over 300 people. The document also briefly discusses gaming industry funding programs in Quebec, France, and Finland that provide various subsidies and tax credits to support game development.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays

We will talk about system monitoring from a few different angles. We will start by covering the basics, then discuss SLOs, how to define them, and why understanding the business well is crucial for success in this exercise.
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
