WhatsUp With WhatsApp? Comparing Mobile Instant Messaging Behaviors with Trad...Karen Church
Our best paper nominee presentation at Mobile HCI 2013, Munich, Germany (30th August 2013). Here's the paper abstract:
With the advent of instant mobile messaging applications, traditional SMS is in danger of loosing it’s reign as the king of mobile messaging. Applications like WhatsApp allow mobile users to send real-time text messages to individuals or groups of friends at no cost. While there is a vast body of research on traditional text messaging practices, little is understood about how and why people have adopted and appropriated instant mobile messaging applications. The goal of this work is to provide a deeper understanding of the motives and perceptions of a popular mobile messaging application called WhatsApp and to learn more about what this service offers above and beyond traditional SMS. To this end, we present insights from two studies — an interview study and a large-scale survey — highlighting that while WhatsApp offers benefits such as cost, sense of community and immediacy, SMS is still considered a more reliable, privacy preserving technology for mobile communication

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.

Internet approach Concept Metaphor Reach Richness Sometimes connected Always on Era Feature Enhanced with presence - Spontaneous conversations - Personalised expressions Enriched with multimedia - More engaging conversations - Experience sharing Multimedia support - Richer messages - Container for conveyance Social circle reach - Highly personal Universal reach - Service provider interworking Highly conversational - Threaded user interface - Immediate delivery Highly referential - Inbox accessible anywhere - Large & persistent storage Transient dialogues Inbox in network Internet IM Internet email
14. Internet IM compared with mobile “text” Always on. At your desk. Mostly on. Always with you. Enhanced with presence - Spontaneous conversations - Personalised expressions Enriched with multimedia - More engaging conversations - Experience sharing Social circle reach - Highly personal Highly conversational - Threaded user interface - Immediate delivery Transient dialogues Internet IM Integrated with contacts list Universal reach - Service provider interworking Highly conversational - Short messages - immediate & offline delivery Inbox on the phone - Highly personal & private Mobile Text
15. Issues to reconcile in “crossing over” IM to mobile Always on. At your desk. Mostly on. Always with you. Everyone can converse with Text Contacts list contains more than just friends Only subscribed and present friends can converse Only friends with IM can converse Enhanced with presence - Spontaneous conversations - Personalised expressions Enriched with multimedia - More engaging conversations - Experience sharing Social circle reach - Highly personal Highly conversational - Threaded user interface - Immediate delivery Transient dialogues Internet IM Integrated with contacts list Universal reach - Service provider interworking Highly conversational - Short messages - immediate & offline delivery Inbox on the phone - Highly personal & private Mobile Text
16. Mobile IM Implementation strategy for maximum value Only friends with IM can converse Everyone can converse with Text + = Ensure IM interworks fully and bothways with Text Maximum connectedness out of the box. Just like Text. Contacts list contains more than just friends Only subscribed and present friends can converse + = Permit conversations without presence Add presence as a stimulator of conversations, not a prerequisite. Just like Text, only smarter.
