This document defines key concepts in microeconomics and macroeconomics. It explains that microeconomics examines the economic behavior of individual units like households and firms, while macroeconomics looks at aggregates for a whole economy. It also outlines the differences between positive economics, which describes economic systems objectively, and normative economics, which makes judgments about economic outcomes. Additional concepts covered include ceteris paribus, economic models, graphs, and the four criteria used to evaluate economic policy: efficiency, equity, growth, and stability.

ProMan is an automated network application that provides hosting platform for data and services. It logs user activities and database in offline or online mode. It provides an extensible environment also provides facility to generate trackers for specific files/data that does not exist at the moment but is expected to be available in near future.
It can used as real time collaboration application in coding environments or in other environments where resource sharing and notification of events is critical and can subtly improve efficiency.

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!
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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

1. microeconomics The branch of
economics that examines the functioning
of individual industries and the behavior
of individual decision-making units—that
is, business firms
and households.
MICROECONOMICS AND
MACROECONOMICS
macroeconomics The branch of economics
that examines the economic behavior of
aggregates—income, employment, output,
and so on—on a national scale.
Microeconomics looks at the individual unit—the household, the firm, the industry. It
sees and examines the “trees.” Macroeconomics looks at the whole, the aggregate. It
sees and analyzes the “forest.”
2. positive economics An approach
to economics that seeks to
understand behavior and the
operation of systems without
making judgments. It describes
what exists and how it works.
normative economics An approach
to economics that analyzes outcomes of
economic behavior, evaluates them as
good or bad, and may prescribe courses
of action. Also called policy economics.
3. ceteris paribus, or all else equal
A device used to analyze the
relationship between two variables while
the values of other variables are held
unchanged.
All Else Equal: Ceteris Paribus
Using the device of ceteris paribus is one part of the process of abstraction. In formulating
economic theory, the concept helps us simplify reality to focus on the relationships
that interest us.
4. The most common method of expressing
the quantitative relationship between two
variables is graphing that relationship on
a two-dimensional plane.
Expressing Models in Words, Graphs, and
Equations
5. Cautions and Pitfalls
The Post Hoc Fallacy
post hoc, ergo propter hoc
Literally, “after this (in time), therefore
because of this.” A common error made
in thinking
about causation: If Event A happens
before Event B, it is not necessarily true
that A caused B.
7. efficiency In economics,
allocative efficiency. An efficient
economy is one that produces
what people want at the least
possible cost.
Efficiency
equity Fairness.
Equity
8. economic growth An increase
in the total output of an economy.
Growth
stability A condition in which
national output is growing steadily,
with low inflation and full
employment of resources.
Stability
9. A graph is a two-dimensional representation
of a set of numbers, or data.
HOW TO READ AND UNDERSTAND
GRAPHS
10. A time series
graph shows how
a single variable
changes over time.

Personal Income in the United States:

11. The Cartesian coordinate
system is the most
common method of
graphing two variables.
This system is constructed
by simply drawing two
perpendicular lines: a
horizontal line, or X-axis,
and a vertical line, or Y-
axis. The axes contain
measurement scales that
intersect at 0 (zero). This
point is called the origin.

19. THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM:
SCARCITY AND CHOICE
FIGURE 2.1 The Three Basic
Questions
Three basic questions must be answered in order to
understand an economic system:
• What goods and services to produce & how
much?
• How is it produced?
• Who gets what is produced?
20. capital Things that are
themselves produced and that
are then used in the production
of other goods and services.
THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM:
SCARCITY AND CHOICE
factors of production (or factors)
The inputs into the process of
production. Another word for resources.
21. production The process
that transforms scarce
resources into useful goods
and services.
THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM:
SCARCITY AND CHOICE

generations that can be used directly or
indirectly to satisfy human wants.
outputs Usable products.
22. Nearly all the same basic
decisions that characterize
complex economies must also be
made in a simple
economy.

Opportunity Cost
SCARCITY, CHOICE, AND OPPORTUNITY

opportunity costs The best

COST
theory of comparative advantage
Ricardo’s theory that specialization and
free trade will benefit all trading parties,
even those that may be absolutely more
efficient producers.
25. SCARCITY, CHOICE, AND OPPORTUNITY
COST
absolute advantage A producer has
an absolute advantage over another in
the production of a good or service if it
can produce that product using fewer
resources.
comparative advantage A producer
has a comparative advantage over
another in the production of a good or
service if it can produce that product at a
lower opportunity cost.
Editor's Notes
Opportunity cost does not have to be measured in dollar terms. The value of an alternative activity is usually measured in both monetary and nonmonetary costs. Opportunity cost is referred to as implicit cost. Accountants count only explicit costs. Economic cost is higher than accounting costs because it includes implicit, or opportunity, cost.
