One of the polemical topics in the travel technology industry is the NDC - IATA's New Distribution Capability. It is truly a complex topic. From a technology point of view, NDC is an easy to follow standard that allows anyone to connect to the airlines' rich content, whereas in terms of business impact, there is still a lot of debate around it and until things get clearer, there is no defined direction to where it will take us.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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.
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.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
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.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
2. Providing good customer service
means not just doing right by
your customer, but by assisting
your customer with all of their
needs.
BLOG.TTS.COM
3. So what sort of things of this travel
agent’s checklist do you need in
order to improve customer service?
BLOG.TTS.COM
4. 1 – SPECIALIZATION
BLOG.TTS.COM
• When a customer comes to you, they
are looking for something much more
complex than just booking flights and you
need to be ready to deliver.
• Specialization can look like focusing your
travel agent specialties in a given area or
region and making yourself an expert in
those areas.
5. 1 – SPECIALIZATION
BLOG.TTS.COM
• With so many information available online
many of your clients will already know what
they intend to go and what they want to do.
What they want from their travel agent is
something that will set the trip apart.
• Learning how to specialize and spot those
little life-changing add-ons can help foster
goodwill, build trust, and bring your
customer relations to the next level.
6. 2 – INSPIRING TRUST
BLOG.TTS.COM
• One of the things you must 100% know if you
are going to have successful travel agencies
is how to inspire trust.
• Your success depends on your clients’ trust.
• Having a genuineness and an honesty about
everything you do is crucial to being able to
sell more – and more importantly, give your
customers an even better experience.
7. BLOG.TTS.COM
3 – SELF-EVALUATION
• One of the most important tips for
improving any customer experience is to
improve yourself with critical self-
evaluation.
• Self-evaluation should be done on an
ongoing basis.
8. BLOG.TTS.COM
3 – SELF-EVALUATION
• With so much vying for the attention of
your prospective customers, you need to
know with 100% certainty that you are
giving your clients the best they can get
anywhere.
• By self-evaluating your work regularly
you ensure that you take advantage of
emerging market trends to benefit your
customers.
9. 4 – QUICK RESPONSE TIMES
BLOG.TTS.COM
• One of the hallmarks of excellent customer
service is the ability to actually reach you.
• If you are unavailable to help your clients
when they most need you, they will be
clients you will not see again.
• Solutions like Travelport Mobile Agent are
indispensable for travel agents to be
available every time your clients need your
support.
10. 5 – SELL YOUR EXPERTISE
BLOG.TTS.COM
• You should sell your expertise, what
your clients cannot buy for themselves:
a specialized, customized, unique
experience.
• The more special and unique you can
make their experience, the more satisfied
your customers will be.
11. So learn to offer the best customer
service you can.
You will become a travel agent known
for exceptional customer service.
And the word spreads out…
