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:
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.

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.

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!
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics
Media question 6
1. What have you learnt about technologies from the
process of constructing this product?
When creating my magazine I have been able to
improve my knowledge in a variety of different
programmes and software's so that my product is
made to the best of its ability.
These next slides will explain what I have used
to make my magazine and how I have used it.
2. I have used blogger to document the
process of making my product as it
gives a clear guide to all of my
posts for my coursework. I feel
that this website is easy to work
to find posts I may need that I
have done in the past, with the
archive column. During my time
using this website I have learnt
how to make my posts more exciting
by inserting slideshares, prezzies
and even videos.
3. I used photoshop to create my front
cover, contents page and image
double spread. I also used this
software to edit all of my images
so that they looked professional
and suitable to appear in a
magazine. Before starting my media
coursework I had experience with
photoshop when doing GCSE work
however I think I have broadened my
knowledge since then as I’m aware
of different editing tools to make
my photos the best to their
ability. The next slide will show
my images before editing and after
editing with Photoshop.
5. I have used microsoft publisher to
create my double page spread with
interview. I decided to use this
instead of photoshop because it is
easier to handle great quantities
of text. For example, I was able to
carefully group my columns together
so that all the text was in a
correct order. Before doing this I
wasn’t aware that you could change
the widths of columns and group
them together so my knowledge of
publisher has definitely improved.
6. The website dafont I had never
heard of before staring my media
coursework. This website played a
large role in creating my magazine
as I was able to extract different
fonts that I felt would be suitable
for my target audience of more
mature readers. The fonts I decided
on I was able to download onto the
computer and use on both photoshop
and publisher. I therefore wasn’t
limited to just default fonts and I
think I made my magazine a lot more
exciting than it would be without
my chosen fonts.
7. I used firefox as my main search
engine for the research into my
magazine. I was able to access many
different sources that included
existing magazines and statistics
about them so I was able to base my
magazine on one that is in the
world today.
I was also able to access google
images when researching for my
photoshoots and target audience. I
found different existing
photoshoots that have been used in
music magazines so that I could get
inspiration for my own.
8. Like I am currently doing, I have
used slideshare to present a lot of
my research and documenting the
updates of my magazine. By using
this website I have learnt another
skill as I wasn’t aware the site
existed before starting my media
coursework. I really like this
wesbite as I am able to document
large amounts of text in only a
small blog post.
9. Prezi is also a new website to me
that I was able to use for noting
down my research. I quickly grasped
how to use this website and was
able to create different mindmaps
with my ideas on. I used this to
write down all the possible names
of my magazine so that I could go
back to it when deciding to see
which one stood out to me most.
10. Having used youtube in the past I
was instantly able to upload videos
I had done for my blog onto the
website. I was then also able to
insert these videos onto blogger so
that they are easy to view.
11. In my photoshoot, I used a Nikon
DSLR. In the past I have used a
number of different cameras however
this one was brand new to me. I was
able to use this camera in the
studio with the lighting to get a
professional effect. I also learnt
how to use zoom and flash to get
different effects.
For my concert photos I used an
iphone 4s which isn’t the best
quality however was suitable for
the context.
