Helping operations top-heavy teams the smart wayMichael Kehoe
All engineering teams run into trouble from time to time. Alert fatigue, caused by technical debt or a failure to plan for growth, can quickly burn out SREs, overloading both development and operations with reactive work. Layer in the potential for communication problems between teams, and we can find ourselves in a place so troublesome we cannot easily see a path out. At times like this, our natural instinct as reliability engineers is to double down and fight through the issues. Often, however, we need to step back, assess the situation, and ask for help to put the team back on the road to success.

Getting a Dedicated Development Team - Its Importance and BenefitsMind IT Systems
With competition increasing vastly, the big race is to adopt new technologies that can satisfy customers’ ever-changing demands worldwide. Not every organization has people with new-age IT expertise to develop products that meet up to customer satisfaction; hence, hiring a dedicated development team can be decisive here to tackle such needs.
Hiring an offshore product development team can be the best choice for start-ups and Fortune 500 companies in this ever-transforming technological environment. It offers the opportunity for faster time to market while releasing the product and its features, thus outperforming the competition.
A collaborative extended dedicated team is a suitable option, particularly if you need to quickly ramp up your internal team and reduce the additional expenses related to an in-house team.

Apqp bumming you out briefing may 30 2013John Cachat
Sales can’t update the customer on launch status. Engineering spends more time updating Gantt charts than they do actually engineering stuff. Quality can’t find the documentation. Purchasing has no idea when the supplier status is. Sound familiar?
What this means is:
• Products are late
• Quality is unacceptable
• Resources are wasted
• Problems are repeated
What we have found is that Project Management is done with the wrong tools and/or people
• Resources are over-scheduled
• Issues are not resolved
• True costs are unknown / inaccurate
What we have found with Project Management Software
• Tools are cumbersome, force detailed information that is unknown
• People resort back to XLS
• Management cannot support the team and resort to firefighting issues
Learn about an approach to APQP and a SaaS technology that allows you to implement APQP the right way and engage your people and suppliers to improve communication, and launch higher quality products faster and on-time and under budget.
How To Virtualise Your Assessment CentresNicole Yean
Increase engagement and streamline business efficiencies for business continuity with a Virtual Assessment Centre.
With many limitations on Assessment Centres like resources and logistical hassle, commitment by stakeholders and scale limitations, why not transform it into a Virtual Assessment Centre?
In this presentation We discuss some of the questions hat are asked to Business Analyst In Interviews, These are the most common questions that get asked
This will be presented at the Optimizely's San Francisco User Group session on Oct 4th. As with any program, an A/B Testing Practice also follows a specific maturity curve. Since it is much more complex and spans across various domains and business units, it begins with a "Sell" phase focused on getting buy-in from various stakeholders but with a specific focus on Engineering & QA, followed by "Scale" phase with focus on building team, efficiency and program and then on to "Expand" phase focused on wider scope/complex tests and strengthen the platform, over to the "Deepen" phase where the focus is to ingrain testing within the company's DNA, i.e., within the backend/algorithms, cross pollinate learning and testing across various business units. The final phase is the "Sustain" phase where Algorithmic Test Management takes over Testing, and Testing is productized as a Value Add service for monetization and brand captial creation. We will walk the audience through our own journey so far along the maturity curve, the lessons learnt along the way, the challenges and what worked for us. The session will be rounded up with a working session with the audience on their own journey, lessons and advice for others.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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).
Speakers:

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.
