At SXSE, we attempt to join the dots between the ideas, inspiration and insanity of the SXSW Interactive festival to create a playbook for the year ahead.
In 2017, we believe that in order to succeed, we’re going to have to find ways to bring together multiple tracks in technology and innovation before trying to envisage what comes next when they start interacting with each other and multiplying their effects, rather than focusing on progress in isolation.
In short: to Multiply & Conquer!

Uncle Sam Wants You (To Optimize Your Content For Mobile)Karen McGrane
President Obama recently directed all government agencies to optimize their content for mobile, saying "Americans deserve a government that works for them anytime, anywhere, and on any device." Government has a responsibility to make its content available to all Americans equally. What about your organization? If the government has mandated its agencies to develop a content strategy for mobile, isn't it time you did too?
In this session, Karen will discuss why it's important to think holistically about publishing your content in whatever channel or device your customer wants to consume it — and what the risks are in not making content accessible to mobile users. Already convinced it's important? She'll also explain how to get started with your mobile content strategy, defining what you want to publish, what the relationship should be between your mobile and desktop site, and how your editorial workflow and content management tools need to evolve.
Full transcript available here: https://karenmcgrane.com/talks/adapting-ourselves-to-adaptive-content/
For years, we've been telling designers: the web is not print. You can't have pixel-perfect layouts. You can't determine how your site will look in every browser, on every platform, on every device. We taught designers to cede control, think in systems, embrace web standards. So why are we still letting content authors plan for where their content will "live" on a web page? Why do we give in when they demand a WYSIWYG text editor that works "just like Microsoft Word"? Worst of all, why do we waste time and money creating and recreating content instead of planning for content reuse? What worked for the desktop web simply won't work for mobile. As our design and development processes evolve, our content workflow has to keep up. Karen will talk about how we have to adapt to creating more flexible content.
Friends, a zombie apocalypse is upon us: an onslaught of new mobile devices, platforms, and screen sizes, hordes of them descending every day. We're outmatched. There aren't enough designers and developers to battle every platform. There aren't enough editors and writers to populate every screen size. Defeating the zombies will require flexibility and stamina—in our content. We'll have to separate our content from its form, so it can adapt appropriately to different contexts and constraints. We'll have to change our production workflow so we're not just shoveling content from one output to another. And we'll have to enhance our content management tools and interfaces so they're ready for the future. Surviving the zombie apocalypse is possible. In this talk Karen will explain how: by developing a content strategy for mobile.
Women in the Digital Age (MKT460 Research Project) PresentationMira McKee
This is a final presentation I created for my Marketing 460: Information & Analysis class. Throughout the semester, my class conducted a UT-wide survey that asked questions ranging from demographic questions to specific questions about technology use.

We designed the Lab Report in Canva.
The Rising Floor of Platform - MIT Platform Summit 2014Peter Coffee
If someone thinks that they can create differentiating value by starting at the level of what you sell, at a cost that enables them to sell the result, then you are - to them - a platform. Too much lower, you're plumbing. Above that level, you're a competitor or an irrelevant product. What should a platform provide today, as 24x7 connected people want trustworthy access to data and command of useful function?
Connected things are quickly expanding, beyond their traditional scope of industrial plumbing and their recent emergence as lifestyle novelty, to become a global and everyday norm. After the revolution comes the need for sustainable operation: what's involved in assuring that today's Internet of Factories, Internet of Transactions, and emerging Internet of Personal Devices can scale to the demands of billions of people and tens of billions of everythings? Peter Coffee, VP for Strategic Research at salesforce.com inc., examines the challenges and highlights the opportunities for robust and responsible leadership in the world that's taking shape today.

Presentation to CleanTech Future Conference II in San Francisco, 4 November 2013, on multi-tenancy's 95% reduction of IT CO2 footprint - versus timid incrementalism of virtual-machine approach
Security is too often discussed in terms of what it prevents rather than what it assures. Too much trust in narrowly focused technology, combined with too much fear of the unknown in areas like adoption of the cloud, combine to make many enterprise and other IT systems unnecessarily expensive and inadequately trustworthy.
It's About The Citizen - Changing Needs and Rising ExpectationsPeter Coffee
Presented as keynote to GTEC 2014 in Ottawa, 28 October 2014 by Peter Coffee of Salesforce
A “cloud computing” conversation used to be a plan to cut IT costs and accelerate project schedules. Today, it’s becoming a citizen-driven discussion of improving the visibility, availability and accountability of every institution of modern life — in a world where people have a whole new level of power to discover, share, and collaborate in identifying and confronting challenges as well as pursuing new opportunities. Not merely the execution, but even the basic mission, of government and other organs of society is in the crosshairs. Peter Coffee brings salesforce.com’s global perspective, as thrice-named “World’s Most Innovative Company” (Forbes), to share with theGTEC community and to offer opportunities for action.

Over a span of 30-something years, the CPU speed of a mainstream personal computer has grown by less than a factor of one thousand -- while the connectivity bandwidth that people expect (in workplace, home, and even in mobile activities) has grown 200 times that much. If we called them "(inter)personal connectors," we might be capturing more correctly the role of the "PC" and its descendants in our lives -- but in most organizations, we still treat IT more as a discipline of automation and calculation and archival than as a medium of connection and collaboration. Peter Coffee shares current research and a global perspective on what it means for the Salesforce community to take the lead in repurposing and reculturing the modern era's defining technology.

Evolution of Social Media and its effects on Knowledge OrganisationCollabor8now Ltd
There has been a lot of hype around social media, social networks and social business, much of it unhelpful in understanding what this is all about. For some people, “social” will always mean frivolity and time wasting. For others, social media just means marketing and communications.
The evolution of social media over the past several years has made it easier than ever before to find, connect and engage with “experts” and people with similar interests. Enlightened organisations have recognised that investment in social technologies and (most importantly) the organisational change required in order to nurture and embed a collaborative culture, can overcome the limitations of silo’d structures that have traditionally inhibited information flows and opportunities for innovation.
In a broader context, the pervasive and ubiquitous availability of social media in almost all aspects of daily life, from the way we communicate, get information, buy and sell, travel, live and learn is adding to the pressure on organisations to provide a more porous interface between internal (behind the firewall) and external services. Knowledge workers are increasingly making their own decisions on what tools, products and services that they need to work more effectively and will become increasingly disaffected if these are not available within the work environment.
This presentation looks at industry trends on how social media and social technologies are changing the way that we generate, organise and consume knowledge, and how this is driving emergent digital literacies for knowledge workers.
In this white paper, Sodexo shares a case study with many lessons learned in deploying its building information management system in a productive and effective manner. Of particular interest to me was the focus on using social media and sharing data with facility management (FM) clients to facilitate internal campaigns to save water and power.

Health Care: Impacts of Social Media and the demands of the Industry
The world of healthcare is about to experience an upheaval. Here is what is happening:
an aging population
multiple chronic conditions including hypertension, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes
a growing strain on existing healthcare infrastructure
These days the value of information provided by peers and communities supersedes information available by companies and organizations.
In the coming years, the demands on this industry will require its stakeholders to, not only, understand where these resources reside, and what they’re providing, but also how to become part of the community to provide value and solutions. How is this going to affect government programs? How will this impact Health Care brands and pharmaceuticals? Who’s doing it right today? or How are companies like GE Health Care and their Get Fit Program making social media work for them?
This session will provide an overview of online activity and discussion within the Health Care industry, what it means for organizations, services and brands and what they need to do to adapt to the increasing demands if its population. The session will also provide case examples of organizations doing it right and how your organization can take steps to building community and credibility in this new landscape.
You should attend this session if you work in the Health care Sector: Government, NPO, Pharmaceuticals: Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Policy.
With the annual hype fest known as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) finishing up last week, now seems an instructive time to reflect on the hype cycle around technology and trends.
Many mistaken predictions all point to the imperfection and impermanence of the prediction business. For tech trends in particular, such as those being hatched last week at CES, it’s a perilous endeavor with few (if any) sure-fire winners and even fewer all-knowing prognosticators.

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.

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.

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.

Trying to predict the future is a discouraging and
hazardous occupation, because the prophet invariably
falls between two stools.
• If his prediction sounds at all reasonable, you can be quite
sure that in 20 or at most 50 years the progress of science and
technology has made him seem ridiculously conservative.
• If a prophet could describe the future exactly as it was going to
take place, his predictions would sound so absurd, so
farfetched, that everybody would laugh him to scorn.
If what I say now seems to be very reasonable, then I’ll fail
completely. Only if what I tell you appears absolutely unbelievable,
have you any chance of visualizing the future as it really will happen.
- Sir Arthur C. Clarke, 1964
3. I Propose To Be Unreasonable – Believably
Facts – what we can see is true right now
Observations – selected facts and calculations
Consequences – projections, scenarios, boundary cases
Actions – what we can do right now
Long View – what to watch; what would change our plan
By no accident at all, this turns out to have an acronym:
Permit me to introduce FOCAL

companies won new business in 1H12 that
had previously been offshored (27Jun’12)
9. Observations and Consequences
People connected 24x7 → Social nets are lifestyle rather than activity;
everyone has “trusted advisor” networks and concierges always on call
Smartphone always at hand → control panel available for any device, less
need to shoehorn a UI into everything; hands/eyes-free interaction
Connected devices the norm, not the exception → too many apps, need a
universal container and a common convention for user interface
Graying populations rely on connected/adaptive devices to “age in place”
Data drive new disciplines with accelerating turnover of knowledge;
continuing education and increasing “freelancerization”
Massive data feeds & fusions → unexpected combinations will disclose
activities & associations, with major trust implications
10. Actions
Connected customers = reduced “retail arbitrage” opportunity: impels
unbundling of services, transparent value-based pricing
Connection explosion creates demand for adaptive algorithms yielding
more autonomous behavior: think Nest thermostat, not Mission Control
Apps explosion has to be contained: requires a universal container /
orchestrator and common conventions for user interface
Everything needs an API that goes beyond exposing functions, able to
participate in conversations for value-adding interactions
APIs and connections must stop relying on obscurity and novelty for
protection, adopting “trust but verify” safeguards & negotiation protocols
11. Long View
The safest predictions are based on demographics
The next-safest are based on geography
Can disruption be forecast? Research unconvincing
Are basic cultural norms up for grabs?
Gender roles
Work/life balance
Family size & structure
Definition of “standard of living”
“Geopolitics is about broad
impersonal forces that
constrain nations and human
beings and compel them to
act in certain ways.”
– George Friedman
Is there an optimal strategy? Or is it all just game theory?
“When the monsoon is over, you don’t throw away your umbrella”
“If a crisis requires change of strategy, you didn’t have a strategy”
12. Coda: The Medium View?
“Forecasting is best left to the long run, the
span over which individual decisions don’t carry
so much weight. But having forecast for the long
run, you can reel back your scenario and try to
see how it plays out in, say, a decade.”
“What makes this time frame interesting is that it
is sufficiently long for the larger, impersonal
forces to be at play but short enough for the
individual decisions of individual leaders to skew
outcomes that otherwise might seem inevitable.
A decade is the point at which history and
statesmanship meet, and a span in which
policies still matter.”
– George Friedman
