1. The document discusses sensemaking at different levels from solving simple tasks to making sense of one's existence and identity. 2. Sensemaking can occur through different activities like reading, watching movies, psychotherapy, and more. These activities can shed light on task-oriented sensemaking. 3. Narratives and stories are important tools for sensemaking that help describe trajectories of experiences over time and allow people to learn lessons. Oral histories can build a shared repertoire of sensemaking mechanisms.

Sense-making
The document discusses several key concepts related to understanding organizations, including sense-making, interpretation, organizational dysfunction, different styles of organizing, perceived divisions within organizations, and images and metaphors used to understand organizations. It also examines the relationship between individuals and organizations and compares espoused theories of organizing to theories in use.
Karl weick’s sense making model final
Karl Weick's sensemaking model describes how organizations make sense of unpredictable environments through interaction and collective sensemaking. The model involves enactment of the environment, selection of cues through sensemaking, and retention of lessons learned. Weick extended the model to include retrospective sensemaking, where actions are taken first and then examined, loose coupling between coworkers allowing flexibility, and partial inclusion recognizing people have commitments outside of work.
Dialogue & Collective Sensemaking
The document discusses sensemaking as the process of understanding ambiguous situations and establishing situational awareness to make decisions. It defines sensemaking from both textbook and expert perspectives. It then discusses different contexts where sensemaking occurs, including at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. Finally, it outlines different models and methodologies for studying sensemaking, emphasizing the need to understand complex problems and situations before designing interventions.
Mental Models
Mental models are deeply held internal images that shape how we think and act in familiar ways. They are often unconscious and can limit our behavior. Understanding our own and others' mental models is important for overcoming biases and having productive discussions. Effective leaders balance advocating for their own views while also inquiring about others' perspectives to resolve conflicts. When addressing mental models, people may experience strong emotions, so frustration should be used to further inquiry rather than action. Creating new shared mental models can lead to positive change.

This document summarizes a presentation about dealing with complexity and uncertainty in natural resource management and other "wicked problems." It discusses that development issues are complex problems with incomplete and contradictory requirements that are difficult to define and solve. It notes that development efforts often overlook complexity and take simplistic approaches that are disconnected from realities, imposed from outside, and not sustainable. To address complexity, the presentation recommends planning with uncertainty, understanding interconnected systems, empowering stakeholders, and using multi-stakeholder processes to incorporate diverse knowledge and capacities.
Mental Models
This document discusses mental models of leadership and examines how leaders develop beliefs and make assumptions. It introduces the concept of the "ladder of inference", where experiences and data shape mental models which then guide actions and conclusions. Leaders are placed on a continuum from authoritarian to learning-oriented. The goal is to identify and apply an instructional leadership approach, continually questioning what mental models will serve the future, and becoming aware of one's own thinking processes and mental models.

Bye-bye Management! Keynote from Niels Pflaeging at Agile Tour 2013 (Vilnius/LT)
This document discusses why management is becoming dispensable and how organizations will become more agile and decentralized. It argues that under the right conditions, people enjoy and are motivated by work, seek responsibility, and have creativity that is underused. Traditional hierarchical management structures are described as mechanical and dividing work from thinking. Alternative structures are proposed that integrate thinking and doing, are alive, and work with an outside-in perspective. The document advocates reinventing work for the current century by establishing principles like freedom to act, responsibility through connected cells rather than departments, leadership instead of management, and purpose-driven resource usage over status-oriented practices.

Mental models (The Fifth Discipline)
Mental models are the internal representations that people use to understand the world. They shape perceptions and determine actions. Working with mental models involves surfacing implicit assumptions, testing them against reality, and improving understanding. Key skills include reflection, inquiry into one's own and others' perspectives, and balancing advocacy with open-minded learning. Unexamined mental models can undermine systems thinking efforts over time as organizations drift back to traditional views. Learning organizations promote practices and culture that regularly reexamine mental models for more effective decision-making.
Mental Models
Mental models are deeply ingrained assumptions and generalizations that influence how we understand the world and take action. They are often implicit and shape our behavior and problem-solving approaches. While mental models can be useful, they also become problematic when they are unexamined and fail to evolve with changing realities. Organizational practices and innovation can be limited by unexamined mental models shared among key decision-makers. Various tools like examining the "ladder of inference" and "left-hand column" can help increase awareness of implicit mental models and make them more open to discussion and refinement. Balancing inquiry of other views with advocacy of one's own can also help organizations and individuals arrive at more informed positions.
Learning disabilities in an Organization - from Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline
This document discusses several learning disabilities that can occur in organizations:
1) Identifying too closely with one's position, which can prevent seeing problems from a systemic perspective.
2) Blaming external factors ("the enemy is out there") instead of taking responsibility for internal contributions to issues.
3) Reacting to problems rather than proactively addressing underlying causes, giving the illusion of taking charge.
4) Focusing too much on short-term events rather than longer-term gradual processes that often pose the greatest threats.
5) Failing to address threats until they have grown significantly, like the parable of the boiled frog not realizing the increasing temperature of the water.
Mental Models
A key component of the learning organization is a widespread understanding of the concept of mental models and of how they affect our interpersonal communication and understanding. This brief presentation is intended to introduce mental models. It describes how they develop and what it means to LEARN at the level of our mental maps.

Mental models are the images, assumptions, and stories that people hold in their minds about themselves and the world. They profoundly influence individuals' perceptions and lives. Mental models are tacit, flawed, and formed based on people's experiences and social interactions.

Favoring the Emergence through Agile Scaffolding
The frameworks for scaling Agile in organizations are certainly an excellent tool on which to leverage to develop strategic skills such as market adaptation, innovation and the reduction of product creation times; characteristics that, in all likelihood, will be able to significantly raise the level of general customer satisfaction.
Not a few times, alas, we found ourselves having to deal with practices suggested by those same frameworks that did not fit well with the circumstances and environment of reference. In those cases it is of little use to abandon one framework in favor of another as, in most cases, we would face new failures and a sense of frustration squared.
In business contexts where a minimum but sufficient Agile adoption maturity has been reached to be defined as practitioners, it is certainly worth experimenting with new approaches.
In this deck we will talk about how it is possible to encourage the emergence of emerging practices by teams in their native contexts, and which allow to scale Agile in a more organic and coordinated way, to achieve the above benefits, without the risk of rejection and decreasing to a minimum the inefficiencies due to lack of alignment, collaboration and communication.
We will use the example of "biological scaffolding" to explain how in a human body, in a completely natural way, it is possible to influence a system from the inside, cellular in that case, towards certain directions and behaviors, avoiding invasive, constricting interventions or structures or limiting.
We will use that concept as a metaphor to apply to Agile transformations.
Building Capacities For Learning Organization
The document discusses building learning organizations. It explains that learning organizations focus on developing new skills and changing attitudes through reflection, systems thinking, and shared vision. Building a learning organization requires focusing on overarching ideas, necessary tools and methods, and providing the infrastructure to apply new approaches. Leaders must clearly articulate the vision, while also providing resources for teams to develop new practices.
Unconscious bias webinar presentation
Where an organisation or individual is aware of stereotyping and bias, many effective steps may be taken to correct behaviour.
But what to do when the bias is more subtle or unconscious? These unconscious biases and stereotypes are a major barrier to organisations achieving true inclusion and diversity.
In this webinar Dr Pete Jones, author of Hogrefe Ltd’s unconscious bias testing tool Implicitly, gives an introduction to the topic of unconscious biases and looks at what you can do to address them.
3 sj fifth-discipline
The document discusses Peter Senge's concept of learning organizations based on the 5 core disciplines:
1. Systems thinking focuses on how individuals interact as a whole system rather than individually.
2. Mental models represent a person's thought processes and influence behavior and decisions.
3. Personal mastery is an individual's commitment to truth and continuous self-improvement.
4. Shared vision is when an organization's vision is embraced by all employees as their own.
5. Team learning occurs when teams collaborate, learn from mistakes, and foster learning across other teams. When these 5 disciplines are practiced, an organization can adapt quickly and excel.

Seeing through complexity
The document discusses two new technologies, radar and VHF radio, that emerged in 1941 and had the potential to enhance situational awareness for the U.S. Navy. However, during initial battles they instead created confusion by overloading officers with too much uncorrelated information. Admiral Nimitz advocated for self-organization and experimentation to better utilize the technologies. This led ships to form multi-disciplinary teams to centralize information processing, which emerged as the Combat Information Center and improved coordination.
Sensemaking Theory
The document discusses Sensemaking Theory, which consists of interpreting information and generating meaning from experiences. It covers areas of communication study like interpersonal, intercultural, and mass communication. Sensemaking Theory involves seven aspects: identity, social, enactment, ongoing, extracted cues, plausibility, and retrospect. The theory aims to explain how people make sense of their experiences and what they think through interpreting information.

Sensemaking Theory
The document discusses Sensemaking Theory, which consists of interpreting information and generating meaning from experiences. It covers areas of communication study like interpersonal, intercultural, and mass communication. Sensemaking Theory involves seven aspects: identity, social, enactment, ongoing, extracted cues, plausibility, and retrospect. The theory aims to explain how people make sense of their experiences and what they think through interpreting information.
Sense Making Theory
Sense making is the process of interpreting information and generating meaning from it. This process occurs in many contexts including interpersonal communication, small groups, politics, families, mass media, organizations, and health. Sense making is a cognitive ability that everyone develops from birth through experiences and it is a continuous process used in most aspects of life, except when sleeping. Some critics argue the definition of sense making should expand beyond just organizations to other parts of life and explore how it relates to identity development and dealing with uncertainty.
Dialogic Communication Theory
Dialogic communication theory focuses on communication through dialogue between two or more parties. It is defined as communication via conversation where both parties listen to each other. For dialogic communication to be successful, listening is key as it allows both sides to contribute equally to the discussion and achieve understanding. The theory has been applied in various contexts including small groups, intercultural settings, organizations, healthcare, politics, interpersonal relationships, and families. Critics of the theory debate whether it should be classified as a practice, relationship, or problem-solving approach.
What the Weick?! Crisis Management
This document summarizes Karl Weick's model of organizing for crisis management and public relations. Weick's model focuses on human interaction and interdependence within organizational hierarchies. It is based on sociocultural evolutionary theory, information theory, and systems theory. The model views the environment as sources of input information rather than physical structures. It involves three phases - enactment, selection, and retention - and emphasizes the cycles of input messages, standard procedures, and interlocked communication behaviors within organizations.
Different Perspective On Organizational Communication
The document discusses different perspectives on organizational communication including the systems perspective. It provides an overview of key aspects of systems theory as applied to organizations, including that a system is made up of interdependent parts, organizations exist within environments they interact with, and goals and processes involve feedback. It compares scientific management and systems theories, noting systems theory focuses more on complexity and relationships between components rather than efficiency.
The Objective Of Research .
The document discusses research objectives, types, approaches, and outcomes. The goal of research is to produce new knowledge in three forms: exploratory, constructive, and empirical. There are two types of research: primary which collects new data and secondary which summarizes existing research. Research can be quantitative or qualitative, descriptive or critical, large-scale or small-scale, cross-sectional or longitudinal, observational or experimental. Action research is a reflective process to improve problem-solving. Research methods may include correlational studies, comparisons, ethnographies, observations, and case studies. Outcomes include observational indicators, ethnographic descriptions, and measures of motivation and engagement. Methods should match the research questions, and a mixture of methods can provide comprehensive
Research objectives
This document discusses research objectives for a study. It defines research objectives as descriptions of what is to be achieved by a study. Research objectives are important as they narrow and focus the study, guide what information needs to be collected, and help develop the methodology. There are two types of objectives: broad objectives which state what is to be achieved generally, and specific objectives which describe the variables to be measured. Specific objectives should be clear, address one thing only, be measurable, attainable given available resources, realistic given local conditions, and time bound.

Defining the Problem and Determining Research Objectives
1) The document discusses the differences between marketing managers and researchers and how they have different roles and backgrounds.
2) It provides guidance on how researchers should help define the marketing manager's problem by asking questions about symptoms, situations, causes, solutions, and assumptions.
3) Researchers are advised to determine when marketing research is warranted, such as when it can clarify problems or investigate changes that impact products.
Writing research objectives
This document discusses research objectives. It defines research objectives as clear, measurable statements that provide direction for a study. Objectives focus the investigation of variables and relationships between variables. Well-written objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. Formulating objectives helps organize a study and focus data collection and analysis. A study may have general objectives as broad goals and specific objectives that systematically address aspects of the problem. Examples show how to write general and specific objectives for a study on nurses' knowledge of physical restraint techniques.

UPA talkonstories
This document discusses how stories can be used to enhance usability in system design. It explains that stories can help designers understand customer needs more deeply and communicate requirements and designs more effectively. Stories that portray users as willful protagonists seeking to overcome obstacles can help designers empathize with the user experience. The document also provides tips for crafting good stories, such as including conflict, emotional progression, and specific descriptive language.
Narrative Epistemology for Mathematics
The document discusses using narrative as a model for mathematical epistemology. It proposes three modes of epistemology: genetic, how knowledge is acquired; normative, how to validate what is known; and imperative, how to facilitate knowledge acquisition. As an example, it describes how narrative comprehension involves reconstructing experiences as communicative nodes linked in a semantic network representing events. It asks how mathematical texts can be read narratively and what cognitive evidence is needed to support modeling knowledge through narrative.
Why the "hard" problem of consciousness is easy and the "easy" problem hard....
The "hard" problem of concsiousness can be shown to be a non-problem because it is formulated using a seriously defective concept (the concept of "phenomenal consciousness" defined so as to rule out cognitive functionality and causal powers).
So the hard problem is an example of a well known type of philosophical problem that needs to be dissolved (fairly easily) rather than solved. For other examples, and a brief introduction to conceptual analysis, see http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/cogaff/misc/varieties-of-atheism.html
In contrast, the so-called "easy" problem requires detailed analysis of very complex and subtle features of perceptual processes, introspective processes and other mental processes, sometimes labelled "access consciousness": these have cognitive functions, but their complexity (especially the way details change as the environment changes or the perceiver moves) is considerable and very hard to characterise.
"Access consciousness" is complex also because it takes many different forms, since what individuals are conscious of and what uses being conscious of things can be put to, can vary hugely, from simple life forms, through many other animals and human infants, to sophisticated adult humans,
Finding ways of modelling these aspects of consciousness, and explaining how they arise out of physical mechanisms, requires major advances in the science of information processing systems -- including computer science and neuroscience.
There are empirical facts about introspection that have generated theories of consciousness but some of the empirical facts go unnoticed by philosophers.
The notion of a virtual machine is introduced briefly and illustrated using Conway's "Game of life" and other examples of virtual machinery that explain how contents of consciousness can have causal powers and can have intentionality (be able to refer to other things).
The beginnings of a research program are presented, showing how more examples can be collected and how notions of virtual machinery may need to be developed to cope with all the phenomena.
Metaphors of Containment and Causality
The document discusses how metaphors of containment and causality shape social science research and theories. It outlines how conceptual metaphors structure how we think and talk about abstract concepts like education, politics, and society. Specifically, metaphors of containers influence how we understand systems and parts of wholes, while causality metaphors affect how we view causes and effects. Examining these foundational metaphors could provide new insights for social science research.

Complexity strategies for change
This follow up talk from the London School of Economics Complexity Programme focuses on the scientific foundation for management strategies during times of complex transition (i.e., collapse), and what kinds of strategies work best for different kinds of organisations under different circumstances.
HCII 2005 paper
This document discusses patterns to promote individual and collective creativity. It begins by noting that while creativity is often thought of as an individual pursuit, social and cultural factors also play an important role. An analogy is made comparing individual golfers like Tiger Woods to the larger sport of golf and how both the individual and collective system benefit each other. The document then proposes a pattern language for collective creativity consisting of interrelated patterns to address problems and solutions regarding fostering creativity at both the individual and group level.

Introduction
“There are no facts, only interpretations.” F. Nietzche
It’s December 14, 2012, at approximately 9:30 a.m. It’s an otherwise normal day
at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the small town of Newtown, Connecticut.
Then, 20-year-old Adam Lanza arrives on the scene carrying an arsenal of high-
capacity weapons, and he proceeds to gun down 20 helpless children and 6 adults
and terrorize many more. Authorities would later discover that Lanza had also
shot and killed his mother prior to coming to the school. Unfortunately, the mas-
sacre was not an isolated incident in American history, but it was the second dead-
liest school shooting in American history. Some claim that this incident points to
the disturbed nature of some individuals. Others point to the need for stricter gun
control to limit access to high-capacity weapons. Still others suggest that violence
in the media or video games were to blame. What was your take on these events?
If the goal were to predict your behavioral response to this event, could we do
so simply by understanding the environment in which you were brought up in
and currently live, or would we also need to understand how you cognitively pro-.

The document discusses the importance and power of storytelling. It notes that storytelling is a fundamental tool for human thought and memory. As facts become more widely available, the ability to understand context and convey ideas with emotional impact through stories is becoming more important. Stories are able to capture information, knowledge, context and emotion in a memorable package. The ability to craft compelling narratives is now essential in business, medicine, and personal life. It also provides examples of how major organizations are incorporating storytelling into their work.

What Patriotism Means To Me Essay Contest
Here are a few key points about the development of New York City's transportation system:
- New York City's growth and economic opportunities attracted many people, creating high demand for transportation into and around the city.
- Several railroad companies recognized this demand and built rail lines connecting New York City to other parts of the region. However, only the New York Central Railroad was able to build tracks directly into the city via Grand Central Terminal.
- Other railroads terminated at stations outside Manhattan, requiring passengers to transfer to other modes like ferries or elevated trains to complete their journeys.
- Over time, the transportation network expanded to include subways, buses and an integrated system to move the large volumes of people to, from and

Talk on how to repair the digital divide among political factions. Suggested socio-technical pattern language for intelligent discourse. John C. Thomas
Slideshowfor nw jct
This document discusses how older adults can share their life experiences through storytelling, even with new technologies. It suggests that communication is fundamentally storytelling, and providing guidelines and workshops could help older adults learn to craft compelling stories from their experiences to share online. This would allow skills and histories to be preserved while giving older adults a sense of contribution and stimulating cognition through the storytelling process.
Design rationale for turing's nightmares
This document provides background on the author and an overview of his book "Turing's Nightmares". The author has experience in AI and human-computer interaction. He uses scenarios to explore possible implications of developing superintelligent AI, both positive and negative. The scenarios are not meant to predict the future but to examine reactions and help prepare for technological change. The book also includes artwork to set moods and humor to make considering important decisions around AI's development less stressful.
Sigchi extended abstractsjct
This document proposes a maturity model for Human Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D) with 8 stages: Isolation, Exploration, Exploitation, Exhortation, Exportation, Localization, Globalization, and Transmutation. The final stage of Transmutation is hypothesized to occur when people from diverse cultures work together using their own cultural perspectives, allowing for more ideas and solutions to complex problems. Some indirect evidence from studies suggests that considering multiple perspectives can improve creativity and problem solving over using a single perspective. The document argues this diversity of perspectives mirrors advantages seen in nature, such as binocular vision providing a 3D view.
Asean
This document discusses the field of human-computer interaction for development (HCI4D) and proposes a maturity model for evaluating approaches in this area. The model outlines 8 stages from isolation to transmutation, where the latter stage involves people from different cultures drawing on unique skills and backgrounds to solve problems in collaborative ways not possible within a single culture. The document advocates bringing diverse perspectives to problem solving and provides examples showing how mixed groups tend to be more creative and innovative. It argues that representations and ways of thinking become habitual, but exposing problems to varied representations from different cultures could lead to insights not found within one approach.
A Perfect Storm: Ubiquity and Social Science
A keynote talk at a Ubicomp 2014 workshop. This talk looks at the opportunities for social science due to ubiquitous computing and offers some techniques for problem finding, problem formulation and problem reframing.
Social computing jct
The document discusses potential visions of social computing in 2050 through a discussion between several researchers. It notes that while the future is difficult to predict accurately, considering the long-term implications of current decisions and technologies is important. The document outlines both potential upsides of social computing in 2050, such as improved education and disaster management, but also acknowledges there may be disasters if social computing is not harnessed for good and helps create a just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
Supporting social roles and diversity
The document discusses the use of patterns to capture recurring problems and solutions. It describes behavioral and design patterns that have been used in various fields including architecture, programming, business processes, and human-computer interaction. Key parts of a pattern are identified as the name, problem, context, solution, examples, and related patterns. Specific socio-technical patterns are presented, such as "Special Roles for Special Purposes" and "Small Successes Early". The use of a pattern language to systematically organize interrelated patterns is discussed as a tool for problem identification, design, knowledge sharing, and cumulative learning across contexts.
Understanding and harnessing conflict1
This document discusses the use of "pattern languages" to capture recurring problems and solutions. A pattern language is a set of interrelated patterns organized into a lattice. The document provides examples of architectural patterns and socio-technical patterns. It describes several specific socio-technical patterns such as "Greater Gathering" and "Small Successes Early" that are aimed at problem solving. Finally, it outlines potential uses of a pattern language approach such as problem identification, design, knowledge sharing, and cumulating knowledge across contexts.
Business process re-engineering comes to baseball
A businessman named B.S. has taken over the New York Yankees baseball team with plans to restructure it using business principles like downsizing the team from 9 to 6 players, eliminating spring training to save costs, getting rid of individual player equipment like bats and mitts, outsourcing pitching, and changing the stadium infrastructure without improving the fan experience. His plans are negatively impacting the team's performance but increasing stock prices. He considers baseball a business rather than a sport.
JSAI paper on Collaborative Innovation Tools
This document discusses the importance of collaboration and some challenges to effective collaboration. It notes that while natural language evolved for small groups, new tools are needed for large, diverse collaborations. Specifically, it argues that expressive communication like storytelling can help build trust and shared understanding between collaborators. The document also suggests that perceptual experiences could be enhanced to make systemic problems more salient and motivate collaborative thinking and knowledge sharing.
The year was 1967
This document provides several personal examples of the author's early experiences with human-computer interaction from 1967-1973. It describes his first programming experiences using SNOBOL and accidentally exceeding his account limit. It also discusses early projects involving simulations and experiments, challenges working with outside programmers, debugging issues, and gaining a deeper understanding of computer hardware through courses on the PDP-8 architecture.
Walking People analysis
The document analyzes Paula Underwood's book "The Walking People" as an example of a persistent conversation. It argues that the oral history contained within qualifies as it is meant to transfer knowledge across generations over many millennia. The processes used, such as designated storytellers and encouraging listeners to interact, help ensure its persistence. The document also notes challenges with ensuring the long-term persistence of modern digital records compared to oral traditions.
Stories in HCI
1. Stories can be used throughout the human-computer interaction (HCI) development process, including to understand customer needs, drive design, help developers understand users, make testing more realistic, and provide feedback to development.
2. For a story to be effective in HCI, it should have engaging characters, changing values to create drama, an interesting setting, and introduce multiple levels of conflict. It's also important to create empathy with the protagonist and use subtext rather than explicitly stating everything.
3. Stories are better than generic statements at capturing particularities of situations and people, which is important for building systems in different cultural contexts. However, stories are not well-suited for describing universal scientific knowledge.
A collaboration is a collaboration is a collaboration1
This document discusses collaboration and different types of collaboration. It proposes that collaboration involves both skills and attitudes. In terms of skills, it involves perceiving others' actions, inferring intentions, signaling one's own actions, and adapting approaches. In terms of attitudes, it involves trust between collaborators. The document suggests categorizing collaboration along dimensions like planning, acting, and adapting. It also discusses how games can teach collaboration skills by providing feedback, and proposes some frameworks for understanding collaboration, including considering the communication and situational factors involved.
Ecscw 2007 workshop position paper on handovers
1. The document discusses handovers, which refer to the transfer of responsibility between individuals or teams.
2. It proposes a pattern language approach to describe effective handover processes, drawing on examples from domains like sports, oral traditions, and storytelling.
3. The author is a researcher who has studied handovers in contexts like high-performance computing, e-learning systems, and capture of stories and scenarios.
Position paper for ecscw 2007 workshop
1) The document discusses developing a socio-technical pattern language to provide solutions for common problems in e-Research collaboration.
2) Each pattern describes a recurring problem and its solution, such as the importance of including all stakeholders early or balancing small team work with larger gatherings.
3) The pattern language approach draws from the author's experience with collaboration across disciplines and countries in various projects involving multiple parties.
Narrative methods as supplement to field experience
This document discusses using stories as a method for sharing knowledge about human-computer interaction (HCI) design in international development contexts. Stories can effectively convey tacit knowledge by leveraging the listener's existing knowledge structures and triggering inferences. Even short story fragments communicate a lot of information through inferences about characters, contexts, the storyteller's perspective and expected structure. This makes stories a promising method for capturing and sharing local knowledge gained from fieldwork in unfamiliar contexts.
Sensemaking position paper for chi 2005 workshop
This document provides background on the author's research interests in sensemaking and complexity over several decades. Some key findings from the author's past work include:
- People operate at two levels when problem solving - attempting to solve the problem, and also make sense of the nature of the problem.
- Older subjects and those with less education showed more variability in performance on novel tasks, suggesting they had to construct strategies to make sense of the tasks.
- Subjects in experiments actively attempt to make sense of the experimental situation and optimize their performance rather than just measuring "hardware" abilities.
- The author's work on design problem solving found the best designers reformulate problems as they solve them.
Public accountability pattern in plml format
This document outlines a pattern called "Public Accountability for Public Decisions made Privately" to address how voting processes can balance private voting with public accountability. The key points are: (1) Voting must be private to prevent intimidation but processes for recording, tallying and reporting votes must be public and understandable. (2) The design and oversight of voting processes should balance opposing political interests to ensure credibility. (3) Paper ballots with joint tallying by representatives of opposing parties is a positive example, while proprietary electronic voting is negative.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Â

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
