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.

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).

Web Content Management
2012–06–06
See the course web site at http://openlib.org/home/krichel/courses/lis651n12a for the latest online version of this file.
Course Description
This course considers two fundamental technologies that are used to build large scale, interactive web sites. These are
relational database systems and scripting languages. For the former, we use mySQL. For the latter, we use PHP. We
could have used others, but these are the most common choices. In order to build a prototype for a large-scale site
quickly, we use a contents management system. The choice here is Drupal. Drupal is not trivial to learn. But it is a
very flexible system. It allows for the rapid development of extensions to Drupal, provided that a number of rules are
observed. These rules make sure that the custom code fits into the larger Drupal function base. Drupal itself is written in
PHP, and uses mySQL, so it is just a toolbox sitting on the general PHP/mySQL technology stack.
Course objectives
After taking this course the students
• will be able to interact with a UNIX based server for the construction of active web sites;
• will have elementary knowledge of SQL that will allow for simple database management
• will understand fundamental concepts of computer programming, such as variables and functions and objects;
• will have been introduced to the architecture of Drupal;
• will have a basic grounding in PHP that allows them to build simple Drupal extensions;
The Palmer School Student Learning Objectives covered by the course are
• 2.E Students will build information systems and/or records used in such systems.
Prerequisites
Student normally must have passed LIS650 before taking this course, or take it in the same semester where LIS650 is
running. Students who wish to qualify for an exeption should contact the instructor prior to registering.

Class structure
Classes will be held on Saturdays between 13:00 and 18:00 in the PC1 lab of Bobst Library.
Each class will have a lengthy presentation by the instructor. For some small part of class time the students will work
directly with their computers under the supervision of the instructor. However, give the hefty weight of the class material,
1
2. students are expected to do much of the work on the web site at home. The instructor will closely work with students on
their sites on a one-to-one basis, if required.
These slides are drafts from the previous edition of the course.

Readings
Drupal is documented on its web site at http://www.drupal.org. We are using Melançon (2011) , and Butcher,
Wilkins, Farina, Rickard, and Dunlap (2010) as the main books we will follow. But you are welcome to get any intro-
ductory book to Drupal 7 and work with it as well. The main job of the course is to go through the PHP code.
PHP is documented on its web site at http://www.php.net. Students will probably find all gobbledigook when
they first look at it. But by the end of the course students should be able to use the site to get help from it. Students may
find Ullman (2004) as reasonably priced introductory book on the PHP. The instructor found that Sklar (2004) did bring
much good material. Lea, Choi, Kent, Prasad, and Ullman (2001) as an intoduction that is probably suitably paced for
the beginner. Meloni (2000) receives favorable reviews as a beginners’ book.
Most books on PHP also cover some relational database theory and practice. But Welling and Thomson (2005) do more
than most.
There are many books on PHP in the instructor’s library in his LIU Post office.
Finally there a bunch of home-grown resourceshttp://openlib.org/home/krichel/courses/lis651.
Assessment
Before each class except the first, there will be a quiz on the issued covered in the previous class. The weakest quiz is
discounted. The average of all the remaining quizzes results will count for 5/19 of the assessment. Each student will
complete an individual exercise every class except the first and last class. The exercise consist of writing a PHP script
that fullfills a task. The script does not only have to accomplish the task, the complete task and nothnig but the task.
The script also needs to be documented. There has to be at least as many characters of documentation as there has to
be characters in the instructions. The average of these scripts count for 8/19. In the last class, the students hand in a
two-page description of the architecture of a final site. This covers a brief description the files, and overview on how
information is flowing through the pages. If database tables are used, it covers a list of all tables with all columns, and
the relationship that the columns have to user input or to an external source of data. This paper counts for 1/19 of the
course. The remaining 5/19 will be assessed through the final web site. This site has to be handed on the date of the last
class meeting. This assessment assessess Palmer learning objective 2E.
Mailing list
There is a mailing list for the course at https://lists-1.liu.edu/mailman/listinfo/cwp-lis651-krichel. All students are en-
couraged to subscribe. As a rule, answers to email sent to the instructor will be copied to the list. There are exceptions
to this rule
• if the question writer requests the answer not to be posted
• if the question is a purely private matter
