Social Elements of 3D Printing Presentation
Fab labs are shared workspaces containing computer-controlled tools for digital fabrication and mass production. The first fab labs grew out of collaboration between MIT's Grassroots Invention Group and Center for Bits and Atoms to explore how digital information can be physically represented. Popular applications of fab lab tools include 3D printers for plastic or plaster parts, 3-axis CNC machines, printed circuit board milling, and microprocessor design stations. Maker spaces and Maker Faires also provide shared resources for digital fabrication and community collaboration around new technologies. 3D Hubs is an online service that connects users to over 20,000 3D printing locations worldwide, creating an interactive community for 3D printing projects and discussion.
Dhaka | Aug-15 | Solar mini-grids in Bangladesh – Opportunities & Challenges
Asma Huque, Managing Director, Prokaushali Sangsad Ltd.
As part of the series of regional engagements in South Asia, Smart Villages is organising a workshop on off-grid rural energy provision in Bangladesh. The country has the fastest growing programme in the world with an estimated 70,000 solar home systems (SHS) installed per day. More than 3 million SHS have been installed in off-grid rural areas in the country bringing electricity to an estimated 13 million people.
The aim of the workshop is to gain insights from the experience of a wide variety of stakeholders in Bangladesh who are involved in rural off-grid energy provision in the country. This workshop will offer a number of potential lessons to other countries within the region. The workshop provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities presented by expansion of solar home systems (SHS) and mini-grids to off-grid rural communities and the challenges faced in this expansion. During this workshop we will also investigate the potential impact of energy access on rural livelihoods in the country.
The workshop is being jointly organised by Smart Villages and Practical Action.

Bernard' work presentation
Bernard Champoux's work focused on designing an interface called CAILS to support iconic communication. CAILS used symbols and icons in place of words. Users were able to understand messages in CAILS even without word order. However, longer sentences were more difficult for younger users. The work also involved designing a touch interface for conversational messages. Iterative design processes improved the interfaces based on user studies and evaluations.
UCIDesign.ppt
The document discusses various user-centered approaches to interaction design. It describes the difficulty in bridging the gap between software developers and end-users. Traditional methods of communication have been one-directional. User-centered design aims to make development driven by users' needs and goals rather than just technology. The document then covers several approaches: ethnography involves long-term observation of users; participatory design actively involves users in development; contextual design uses targeted observations and interviews; and work modeling represents knowledge collected about users' work. Each approach has different benefits and drawbacks depending on factors like user involvement levels and project timelines.

1. INTRODUCTION
Prototypes are widely recognized to be a core means
of exploring and expressing designs for interactive
computer artifacts. It is common practice to build
prototypes in order to represent different states of
an evolving design, and to explore options. How-
ever, since interactive systems are complex, it may
be difficult or impossible to create prototypes of a
whole design in the formative stages of a project.
Choosing the right kind of more focused prototype
to build is an art in itself, and communicating its
limited purposes to its various audiences is a criti-
cal aspect of its use.
The ways that we talk, and even think about pro-
totypes, can get in the way of their effective use.
Current terminology for describing prototypes cen-
ters on attributes of prototypes themselves, such as
what tool was used to create them, and how re-
fined-looking or -behaving they are. Such terms
can be distracting. Tools can be used in many dif-
ferent ways, and detail is not a sure indicator of
completeness.
We propose a change in the language used to talk
about prototypes, to focus more attention on fun-
damental questions about the interactive system
being designed: What role will the artifact play in
a user’s life? How should it look and feel? How
should it be implemented? The goal of this chapter
is to establish a model that describes any prototype
in terms of the artifact being designed, rather than
the prototype’s incidental attributes. By focusing
on the purpose of the prototype—that is, on what
it prototypes—we can make better decisions about
the kinds of prototypes to build. With a clear pur-
pose for each prototype, we can better use proto-
types to think and communicate about design.
In the first section we describe some current diffi-
culties in communicating about prototypes: the
complexity of interactive systems; issues of multi-
disciplinary teamwork; and the audiences of pro-
totypes. Next, we introduce the model and illus-
trate it with some initial examples of prototypes
from real projects. In the following section we
present several more examples to illustrate some
further issues. We conclude the chapter with a sum-
mary of the main implications of the model for
prototyping practice.
2. THE PROBLEM WITH PROTOTYPES
Interactive computer systems are complex. Any
artifact can have a rich variety of software, hard-
ware, auditory, visual, and interactive features. For
example, a personal digital assistant such as the
Apple Newton has an operating system, a hard case
with various ports, a graphical user interface and
audio feedback. Users experience the combined
effect of such interrelated features; and the task of
designing—and prototyping—the user experience
is therefore complex. Every aspect of the system
must be designed (or inherited from a previous sys-
tem), and many features need to be evaluated in
combination with others.
Prototypes provide the means for examining de-.

Prototyping Workshop
The document discusses prototyping, which involves creating preliminary models or representations of a design to test ideas and gather feedback before fully developing a product. It notes that prototypes can be low or high fidelity and do not need to be fully functional. The fidelity of prototypes increases through iterative testing and refining. Prototyping helps identify requirements, test user interfaces and experiences, and collect continuous feedback to refine the design. Both low and high-fidelity prototyping tools are discussed, along with tips for effective prototyping.

UCD and low-fidelity prototyping
This document discusses user-centered design and low-fidelity prototyping techniques. It explains that user-centered design is based on understanding users' needs and involving users throughout the design process. Low-fidelity prototyping allows designers to get early feedback through paper sketches and simulations before significant development work. Examples are provided of paper prototyping techniques like storyboards and card sorting. Other low-fi techniques discussed include paper prototypes, Wizard of Oz testing, and electronic sketching tools like DENIM and SILK.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. 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.Must Know Postgres Extension for DBA and Developer during Migration

It is an introduction to the fundamentals of user experience and interface design (UX/UI) for developers. This presentation also covers how to collaborate effectively with designers, as well as tips for building their project with a user-centered design mindset.
Special thanks to Roberta Voulon (Lab12), Ziad Saab (DecodeMTL) , Cassie L. Rheaume (Lighthouse Labs), Kevin Khoury (DecodeMTL), and David Rowley for your input.
UCD and low-fidelity prototyping
This document discusses user-centered design and low-fidelity prototyping techniques. It explains that user-centered design is based on understanding users' needs and involving users throughout the design process. Low-fidelity prototyping allows designers to get early feedback through paper sketches and simulations before significant development work. Examples are provided of paper prototyping techniques like storyboards and card sorting. Other low-fi techniques discussed include paper prototypes, Wizard of Oz testing, and electronic sketching tools like DENIM and SILK.

Main news related to the CCS TSI 2023 (2023/1695)
An English 🇬🇧 translation of a presentation to the speech I gave about the main changes brought by CCS TSI 2023 at the biggest Czech conference on Communications and signalling systems on Railways, which was held in Clarion Hotel Olomouc from 7th to 9th November 2023 (konferenceszt.cz). Attended by around 500 participants and 200 on-line followers.

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.

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.
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.

Learn how they architected a solution that would simplify scaling while keeping costs under control.
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?
