High performance for a Web server that receive a large numbers of requests is critical success factor for a web site, but in many cases the Web server is only “tip of the iceberg” of a very large heterogeneous systems, with lots of components and technologies. This talk present best practices to design an high availability and high performance web site. The presentation will cover load balancing, Web server acceleration, and efficient management of dynamic data, that can be adopted by any sites to improve performance and availability. We also describe common mistake implemented in the web application framework that create performance limitations and bottleneck. The presentation will describe how to define monitors metrics of the service , that are the “eyes” of operation departments, and the implementation of the “red button”

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

3. Long Form Reading Needs Better Screens
64-90% of users after prolonged screen use experience: (multiple studies)
Blurred Vision Headaches
Dry Eye Ocular Discomfort
Eye strain Double Vision
Why: what are the main reasons?
Contrast Ratio Type of screen
Lighting/Glare
Resolution

7. How we Read… Fast and Slow
Average reading time for 10+ page academic paper
– Printed paper: (slow, careful reading)
• 22-45 minutes (Academics, over all disciplines)
– On line: (mostly scanning despite claims)
• 74 seconds (Academics, all disciplines)
• 100 seconds (Students, all disciplines)
• 55 seconds (Academics, computer science field)
Desirable:
Scanning and long-form reading on same screen!
(without eyestrain)

Doubling resolution boosts
reading speed by at least 50%
250 ppi/8bit
Comparative resolutions 200ppi/8bit
– Pixel Qi screen:
Up to 300 ppi/8 bit in greyscale (BW mode) 150 ppi/8bit
– Electrophoretics
~166 ppi/4 bit 100 ppi
– Standard 10” LCD /8bit
~75dpi/8bit

~600-1200-2400 ppi/1bit
( ~effective >>300ppi at 8bit for text
because of halftoning, other differences in
print tech.)

12. • There are plenty of studies that show no difference between the legibility of serif and sans
serif typefaces ( Tinker, 1932 ; Zachrisson, 1965 ; Bernard et al., 2001 ; Tullis et al., 1995 ; De
Lange et al., 1993 ; Moriarty & Scheiner, 1984 ; Poulton, 1965 ; Coghill, 1980) ).
• There are some high profile studies which claim to show the superiority of serif typefaces (
Robinson et al., 1983 ; Burt, 1959 ; Weildon, 1995 ) but these have been soundly criticized on
points of methodology. ( Lund, 1997, 1998, 1999 ).

13. Most Important Low Eyestrain Reading:
A well lighted place with a glare free screen
1. Glare*: causes eyestrain – shiny screens are bad for reading
2. Turn on the Lights*: light around the screen should approximate the
brightness of the screen, or eyestrain also results
* From, for example: The Legibility of Print by Miles Tinker
(an out of print book that is perhaps best comprehensive study of legibility of print – called “Hygienic Vision”)
In Other Words: you should have the lights on when working on your device, but
that creates glare on most devices which also results in eyestrain.

that gives glare free reading in well lighted places
The glare makes all but the Pixel Qi screen unreadable

been used.
Pixel Qi Screen Matte Screen (AG) Glare Screen

“One of the worst problems I was having with
my old screen was dry eyes. It was getting so
bad that I was having to use eye drops every
20 minutes. Also I was waking up several
times at night and having to use eye drops.
Since using the PixelQi the problem is 80%
better.
The other problem was that my eyes were
getting really sore from the glare of my
conventional screen.
This has stopped”
