The document describes a proposed solution called Ignite that aims to enhance and extend human life by providing tools through a smartphone app and companion pad device to encourage positive lifestyle changes. The app would allow users to monitor their real-time life expectancy and earn rewards for healthy behaviors. The inexpensive pad would replicate the functionality of expensive fitness devices. Users could also earn "time credits" for further extending their lives that could be used to purchase additional health-promoting services and products. The team believes this approach could meaningfully impact health and longevity.

Enhancing the User Experience Through the Sense of TouchFITC
Touchscreens have become the default UI in mobile devices, but with their adoption, the lack of tactile feedback is a common complaint. The best applications today, involve multi-sensory – HD graphics and quality sound are no longer sufficient to stand out from the crowd. Haptics (vibration touch feedback) lets people feel what is going on in advance – powering intuitive experiences. Haptics can add a sense of realism which is unexpected in mobile applications. Android developers can now offer different haptic effects in mobile applications by leveraging new free tools and solutions that easily integrate haptic effects feedback into their designs.
In this session Immersion’s Haptic Expert Team, will demonstrate how to enhance the user experience, differentiate your applications from the hundreds and thousands of apps in the market and take your application to the next level of interactions. The presentation will introduce the concept of haptic feedback, development tools, and good design principles for creating haptic effects for mobile apps.
Presented at SCREENS 2013 in Toronto.

Touchscreens have become the default UI in mobile devices, but with their adoption the lack of a tactile response is a common complaint. We find that not being able to feel simple UI elements like a button input is actually a big deal.
In this session Immersion’s Haptic Expert Team will explain some of the science behind why our sense of touch is so important to mobile interactions as well as give you practical steps to follow when designing tactile feedback into your software projects. Haptics (vibration touch feedback) powers intuitive experiences from touch inputs to game content to interactive communications. Haptics can add a sense of realism which is generally unexpected in mobile applications.
Audience members will also learn the standard methods used to add tactile effects to mobile projects as well as an extended method used by Android developers like Sega and Rockstar Games to add a pre-made library of over 124 tactile effects into their Android projects. Hands-on mobile demonstrations will also be provided.

Accenture Mobility - Trends for the Next DecadeLars Kamp
From a deck that I presented at the SIIA “All About Mobile” conference in November 2011 in San Francisco. It starts with the usual set of slides on the recent history of mobility (and I will keep presenting them until I see no more “I had no clue” faces in an audience), and then goes deeper into Moore’s Law and how we see it continuing for cell phones.
An additional journey back in history to the early days of the industrialization and electricity. Companies had to generate their own power (by using wind, water, animals, etc.) and Burden’s Wheel is a good example of one big, giant monolithic effort to do so. Along came Tesla and Westinghouse, and the first power plant “Adam’s Plant” was able to provide about 3x the power, but over a much further distance, and to multiple customers. The concept of an electric utility was born, and what we saw happening was the fall of “enterprise power generation”.
Fast forward to 1969, and Douglas Parkhill and John McCarthy came up with the concept of the “Computer Utility”. Today we see multi-$B investments into public cloud infrastructures. In very simple terms, if history in the utility industry is any indicator, we will see enterprise clouds disappear. And as cloud infrastructures scale and get more efficient, and the price of computing goes down (Moore’s Law), developers will find a way to use and instrument that computing power, and make it consumable to enterprises and consumers, which gets us to Jevons’ Paradox.
Jevons observed how consumption of energy in England went up as coal power plants got more efficient. All the way to today where we keep the lights on in our homes 24/7, and darkness has actually become a scarce good in some metropolitan areas. Switching to enterprise computing and looking at BEA data on IT assets for the past four decades, we see that prices for IT assets are falling, whereas other assets follow an inflationary path. And as computing gets cheaper, enterprises consume more and more of it (and you can argue so do consumers, aka “Consumerization of IT”).
What is striking that with the arrival of the public Internet in ‘90-95 and web companies like Yahoo and Amazon, the mix in consumption is shifting: it’s increasingly going towards software, up from a SW:HW ratio of roughly 1:1 over three decades, to now 3:1. So today, for every $1 spent on hardware, enterprises spend $3 on software. Hence, it seems like enterprises are making use of the public cloud, which would explain the rise of SaaS companies, such Salesforce, SuccessFactors and also Amazon’s AWS.
And as the rise of smartphones is only beginning, enterprise mobility will likely drive the trend of an increasing SW:HW ratio further up. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the mix go to 10:1 in the next five years as smartphones proliferate and the amount of on-deck and off-deck computing power available to a single device is growing exponentially, the concept of “accelerated acceleratio

What does having a digital strategy mean today? Why is mobile about more than the devices we use? What affect will new mobile devices have on social media? In our rapidly changing world concepts like "mobile" and "social media" won't matter. It will be more important to understand how our use of and interaction with digital technology has changed.

Hear from these companies how they created amazing user experiences for their customers, how mobile has impacted their business, and why Titanium was the best choice to power their apps.
Jeff Haynie, Appcelerator's CEO, will discuss how these great brands have built world-class apps on Titanium. Jeff Haynie is Co-founder and CEO of Appcelerator. Jeff is a long-time serial entrepreneur, technologist and blogger.
This presentation contains an overview about things to keep in mind when trying to build a community. As one of the first slides already states: you cannot create a community, it is already there. However you can help the community better in several ways. Therefore a model of the different phases of a member in a community is used. Based on this model several actions are defined which a community manager could take to help the community. The last few slides contain an overview of several well known social media cases.

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.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

2. Our Mission
“To enhance and extend the life of humans by
providing them with the tools and the
understanding to change their lifestyle in a
positive way.”
“We do this by combining smartphones, life
expectancy, game theory, social interaction and
some clever hardware to drive behavior change”
3. The Solution
APP
TIME
CREDITS
PAD
• The application is the main way people interact with Ignite.
• The ignite pad allows us to get long term user retention and valuable data.
• The time credits is a long term strategy that will not be fully developed in the first
iteration of the product.
• Combined they delivery exponential value to the user
• Each is designed so that it can be built upon by partners
4. The Solution
APP
• The IGNITE APP allows users to monitor their life
expectancy in real time and modify it instantly based on
behavior changes.
• It allows user to track their progress over
time, everything from their weight to lifestyle changes.
• It allows earn perks in return for lifestyle changes.
• It allows them to set up competitive peer to peer
behavior through social media.
6. The Solution
PAD
• The IGNITE PAD is a incredibly clever but simple piece
of hardware that allows us to replicate the functionality of
a wiiFit in a device that should costs less that $3
• This device was invented by IGNITE and users clever
image recognition and advanced engineering to deliver
functionality of a device ten times its cost.
• We plan to find a sponsor to enable us to give away
millions of the devices for free.
• Provisional patent submitted.
8. The Solution
TC
• Users can earn “time credits” over time based on extending their lives.
• They can only use these credits to purchase/subsidize life extending
products/services such as Gym Memberships, Healthy Food, DNA tests etc.
• The base of these credits are micro-lives that already have a market value of
$2.70 however the marketplace will define the actual value of the time credits5
• Advanced fraud protection and algorithms protect against gaming of the system.
• Eventually open this out into an health insurance marketplace.
• Open API allows other products to participate in the marketplace as long as we
acquire their data.
“An SOA online survey of 1,000 adults found that 83% would be willing to follow a healthy lifestyle program
if they received incentives from their health insurance plan.”
9. Revenue
• The app will be a free app, with in app purchases Model
• The pad will be either sold/licensed or sponsored with a
significant margin for IGNITE
• In app purchases for health products other synergistic
health applications
• Margin on transactions in the currency marketplace
• Ability to sell big data
• Long term goal to provide a health insurance
marketplace.
• Further product extensions

20. Microlifes
“a microlife is 30 minutes of your life expectancy “
Life expectancy for a man aged 22 in the UK is currently about 79 years, which is an extra 57 years, or 20,800
days, or 500,000 hours, or 1 million half hours. So, a young man of 22 typically has 1,000,000 half-hours (57
years) ahead of him, the same as a 26 year-old woman. We define a microlife as the result of a chronic risk
that reduces life, on average, by just one of the million half hours that they have left.
Here are some things that would, on average, cost a 30-year-old man 1 microlife:
• Smoking 2 cigarettes
• Drinking 7 units of alcohol (eg 2 pints of strong beer)
• Each day of being 5 Kg overweight
There is a simple relationship between change in life expectancy and microlives per day. Consider a person
aged around 30 with a life expectancy of 50 years, or 18,000 days. Then a daily behavior or status that leads
them to lose a year of life expectancy (17,500 microlives) means they are using up around one microlife every
day of their lives.
Microlives encourage the metaphor that people go through their lives at different speeds according to their
lifestyle. For example, someone who smokes 20 a day is using up around 10 microlives, which could be
loosely interpreted as their rushing towards their death at around 29 hours a day instead of 24. This idea of
premature ageing has been found to be an effective metaphor in encouraging behavior change.
We will create an controlled wiki of risk using the Cox proportional hazards models methodology.
21. Proportional
hazards
Proportional hazards models are a class of survival models in statistics.
Survival models relate the time that passes before some event occurs to
model
one or more covariates that may be associated with that quantity.
In a proportional hazards model, the unique effect of a unit increase in a
covariate is multiplicative with respect to the hazard rate. For
example, taking a drug may halve one's hazard rate for a stroke
occurring, or, changing the material from which a manufactured component
is constructed may double its hazard rate for failure.
Other types of survival models such as accelerated failure time models do
not exhibit proportional hazards. These models could describe a situation
such as a drug that reduces a subject's immediate risk of having a
stroke, but where there is no reduction in the hazard rate after one year for
subjects who do not have a stroke in the first year of analysis.
22. Stats
• 50.4% of all Americans own a smartphone and growing4
• 155 Million devices to deploy on in the US alone
• These devices used in clever ways can change behavior
• 63% of Americans are Overweight
• 35% of Americans are Obese
