5 Biometrics Usability Lessons
The document discusses lessons learned from a usability study of fingerprint authentication. It found that the experience of registering fingerprints differed between Apple and Android devices. It also found that users needed to be reminded to enable fingerprint authentication in apps after registering their fingerprint, and had questions about how fingerprints were stored and secured. The study also revealed that users wanted to use multiple fingerprints or another person's fingerprint to authenticate on shared devices. Overall, participants were open to using fingerprint authentication once they understood how it worked.
Design for failure in the IoT: what could possibly go wrong?
We’re putting computing power, machine learning, sensing, actuation, and connectivity into more and more objects, services, and systems in the physical world. This enables new ways for things to work better. But it also creates new possibilities for failure, not least when software problems produce real-world consequences. Failures can damage the user experience, undermine the value of the product, and sometimes present danger.
When you develop a connected product, you must identify everything that could go wrong—from power failures to cessation of user support—and ensure that each potential problem can be adequately mitigated. If the value of your product is marginal but the consequences of it going wrong could be catastrophic, it’s time to rethink your plans.

The document aims to spark discussion on how these technologies may impact and transform learning in the future.
Designing for Future Devices
How do we approach new devices, create effective interactions and to make sure that the design solves real human problems while it's super simple to use? Recently I presented and shared my ideas at the #ISA15 - Interaction South America.
Making the Web Work on Mobile
This document discusses how the emergence of new mobile devices has changed the way people access the web, making it effectively a new medium. It argues that past media like television and the desktop web initially mimicked older forms before developing native experiences, and the same will be true of the mobile web. To build good mobile experiences, developers should tailor content to each device rather than repurposing desktop designs, and should take advantage of all available tools including server-side device detection to understand capabilities and limitations. Embracing the diversity of new devices will allow the web to reach its full potential.
Sixth sense technology
Sixth Sense is a wearable gestural interface that augments physical reality by projecting digital information onto surfaces. It consists of a camera, projector, mirror, smart phone, and color markers. The camera captures gestures tagged with color markers and sends the data to the smart phone. The projector projects outputs from the smart phone onto surfaces via a mirror. Applications include making calls, accessing maps/emails, taking pictures, and obtaining product information by recognizing gestures. Sixth Sense bridges the physical and digital world through computer vision, gesture recognition and augmented reality. Future enhancements could eliminate markers and enable 3D gesture tracking and assistance for disabled individuals.
Surface computing
Surface computing allows natural interaction with digital information through touch, gestures, and physical objects on a horizontal display. The Microsoft Surface uses infrared cameras beneath the screen to sense touch input and recognize objects placed on it. It can process multiple touches simultaneously and is used in retail stores, hotels, and restaurants for applications like viewing menus, sharing content, and making purchases. While the technology is promising, issues like the high cost may limit mainstream consumer adoption for now.

Surface computing,towards business technology
The document discusses Microsoft Surface, a new type of touchscreen interface called natural user interface (NUI). It allows direct interaction with computers using gestures without a keyboard and mouse. The Surface has a large multi-touch screen that can process multiple inputs simultaneously. It uses infrared cameras and light to detect objects on its screen. Potential applications include interactive maps, games, online shopping, and collaborative workspaces for professionals. However, issues like high costs and security need to be addressed for wider adoption.
Glass' evolution, some suggestions
Recently I started cataloging all the changes I would make to Glass and wrote up a (not perfectly organized) power point presentation. More recently Google announced and released Android wear, which is very much in line with some of my suggestions, so I felt validated that my ideas were relevant and thought I should share them.
Hopefully some of my other ideas are in line w/ what Google is thinking, because a technology like a Glass is a certainty to be in your household, but not in its current form.

This document provides information about surface computing. It discusses Microsoft Surface, a large multi-touch tabletop computer that allows multiple users to interact directly on its screen surface using hands, brushes or other objects. Key features of surface computing include multi-touch interaction, tangible user interfaces using physical objects, support for multiple simultaneous users, and object recognition capabilities. The document also outlines the hardware components of Microsoft Surface and provides examples of its applications.
Presentation 2
Surface computing is an advancement that allows for direct interaction through touch and gestures without mouse/keyboard. It features multi-touch recognition of many contact points simultaneously, a horizontal design for multi-user collaboration, and object recognition to trigger digital responses. Microsoft Surface is the first commercially available surface computing platform, consisting of a 30-inch display table that recognizes fingers, tags, and objects to power applications. It uses rear projection, cameras, and image processing to enable its touch and gesture controls.
New to touch
The document discusses the history and evolution of touch screen technology, from early resistive touch screens to modern multi-touch screens. It outlines key developments like the HP-150 personal touch screen computer in 1983, the Apple Newton in 1993, and the introduction of multi-touch by Apple's iPhone in 2007. The document also covers advantages of multi-touch like being more versatile and intuitive than traditional keypads and buttons. Examples are given of companies like Microsoft, Dell, and HP adopting multi-touch interfaces in their products.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
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).

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.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
