This document summarizes a case study of automating a hedge fund's end-of-day trade summarization process. A financial brokerage firm had hedge fund clients that previously summarized trades manually, which took time and introduced errors. The firm engaged DATA Inc. to develop a desktop application that integrated and automated the summarization process using Microsoft technologies like .NET and SQL Server. The application reduced summarization time from hours to under a minute, ensured consistent and accurate results, and saved the clients and brokerage firm time and money.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Hedging the Process
Introduction
Today’s Hedge Funds and their trade related activities span
multiple brokers and trading platforms. Currently, the
technologies behind these platforms are provided either by the Country or Region: New York, NY
financial brokerage firm or consist of multiple off-the-shelf
applications. Traders use these applications to trade and hedge Industry: Finance (Brokerage)
equities and options. At the end of the day these trades are

rectly, can have adverse effects. The conventional manu- houses throughout the world. al
process that brokers engage in for settlement only increases the
chance for error.
One of DATA Inc’s clients, a global financial brokerage firm, has many Hedge Fund clients who use them as their prime broker. In
the past, these hedge fund clients processed their end of day (EOD) summarization manually, consuming unnecessary time and
resources and increasing the potential for error.
In order to improve client experience, eliminate manual overhead, increase efficiency and ensure consistency in the results, the
brokerage firm required a tool to automate their client’s end of day summarization procedures. DATA Inc. developed a simple, yet
powerful, user-friendly tool to automate the summarization process.
The new custom desktop application integrated and automated the tedious process of EOD summarizations, saving time, money
and reducing errors.
The Challenge
In the past, each trader had their own method of summarizing trade scenarios. Their main focus was to determine the EOD posi-
tion for a symbol held by the client. For this, some of the trade details were left as they were (not summed up or average priced)
which ultimately created inconsistencies in the data and information. In addition, manually updated data and information in a lot
of cases did not take into account prorated commissions nor open and close indicators, further causing disparities in the data and
information.
While on the surface, the immediate answer was to provide a solution to automate the process, the development of such a solu-
tion would have been easier said then done, and additionally, the need to keep costs as far down as possible eliminated the pos-
sibility of using conventional databases and centralized servers for the application.

Hedging the Process (...continued)
“The client needed a solution that eliminated the errors and inconsistencies experienced through the manual process” said Denny
Panakal, Senior Project Manager with DATA Inc. “However due to the scope of the project, our choices of appropriate technology
for engagements were slim.”
The Solution
After evaluating various technology approaches DATA Inc. decided to go with a simple desktop-based application approach, with
a stand-alone database engine that specifically catered to the cilent’s need with no network hassle.
DATA Inc. developed the system using a combination of Microsoft-based technology including .NET, which provided an easy-
to-understand user interface. The data store and business layer containing the summarization process was implemented using
Microsoft SQL Server, allowing for ease of installation and configuration on the trader’s desktop computer.
In addition to the selection of the most cost-effective technology platform, the project team of DATA Inc. immersed themselves in
the study of the conventional EOD business process using DATA Inc’s Project Management Solutions System as a central reposito-
ry for accumulating information, developing requirements and ultimately a project plan. This allowed the project team to analyze
the appropriate trade types to develop the solution, eliminating consistencies along the way.
The newly developed application reduced the time for the summarization process down to less than a minute by automating a
multitude of previously manual processes including summarization of similar trades, average pricing splits and if required, close
out of the ‘Start of Day’ position ultimately leaving the remaining trades as Open.
“Microsoft technology, specifically the .NET framework was critical in helping to make this concept become a reality,” says Charles
Rich, Chief Technical Officer and Director of Client Projects for DATA Inc. “The new application can be launched by the click of an
icon, saving brokers time and money when it comes to dealing with end of day summaries.”
The Results
The new Hedge Fund Summarization application brought a drastic business process improvement in the way hedge fund clients
were handling end of day trading activities. Hedge Fund clients embraced the application, reaping the benefits from day one.
There was no overhead for installation and the client found it very simple to use and understand. Ultimately, the system not only
saved the client from spending hours on manual summarization of financial data, but also gave them the confidence that their re-
sults were correct and consistent. “The integration of Microsoft technologies along with a thorough understanding of the tedious
process engaged by the client allowed DATA Inc. to develop a solution that effectively streamlined a tedious and time-consuming
process with Hedge Funds” said Denny. “Our thorough understanding of the financial industry, coupled with our research and
development capabilities allowed us to deliver a solution on-time, under-budget and to great efficiency.”

Hedging the Process (...continued)
Benefits and Features
• Cost effective
By using .NET and other Microsoft-based technologies, the client did not need to invest in any expensive hardware or en-
hanced software infrastructure.
• No installation overhead:
With no network overhead, and easy-to-follow procedures, the application could easily be installed and configured. The
application is also scalable, whereas when scope and access requirements change, the application can effectively run from a
network platform with all databases in a central location.
• Rich, yet simple User Interface:
Minimal instruction is required for effective use of the application through a rich-yet simple user interface. All processes
present in the interface are self explanatory.
• Ease of use
With just a click of the desktop icon, users can start the process by uploading the input files through a standard windows
interface. The process can then be started by a single click. Upon completion, the output can be saved to familiar formats
such as CSV, DAT, or XLS using Windows file folder control.
• Time Saving
The application provides a summary in less than a minute; a significant reduction in processing time as compared to the
manual process which used to take up to 3 hours based on a day’s trading activities.
• Powerful database
The business logic of the application is implemented using robust and modular database system, ensuring that results are
consistent and delivered fast. Future enhancements can also be easily incorporated into the procedure and rolled out to the
client easily.
• Auditing & Cleanup
The application maintains historic data for desired amount of days for audit purposes. The log tables within the application
help in efficient audit trails of tracing the summarization process done for a trade.
• Consistent and error-free output
The computations are completely automated using a pre-defined set of rules. All practical trade scenarios have been con-
sidered and business rules incorporated, thus rendering consistent results for all situations. A rigorous and thorough testing

process using DATA Inc’s Quality Assurance Methodology also ensured that the application could handle any practical
scenarios.
• Minimal maintenance overhead
Since the application uses a stand-alone database engine, minimal maintenance is required and the cleanup procedures
take care of data maintenance.
• Scalability
The architecture of the application is designed to be scalable, easily accommodating for future enhancements. Any changes
in the database server or file locations are easily configurable and user interfaces can be updated to handle any changes in
the input file format. Changes to the business rules and procedures if needed can also be applied directly into the database.
