AWS December 2015 Webinar Series - Strategies to Quantify TCO & Optimize Cost...Amazon Web Services
AWS allows customers to save money and optimize costs in multiple ways. By adopting AWS, organizations can reduce capital expenses and shift to an operating model, improve business performance and drive savings over time. Organizations that adopt AWS have the tools to move from forecast-based capacity planning to an on-demand model with no termination fees or complex agreements. By moving to AWS, customers can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and continue to see increased savings over time. In addition to reducing TCO, AWS empowers customers to optimize costs by providing them tools and partner solutions that help them identify what they are consuming and the right size of the services that their business needs. They will use the services only when they are necessary for production. These solutions allow customers to pay not only for what they need but also only pay for the right capacity and time of consumption, reducing idle time and unnecessary sunk costs.
In this webinar, you will learn strategies directly from AWS Product Manager and understand how a customer (FINRA) used Splunk to develop a cost optimization model that helps to drive value and continued lower costs.
Learning Objectives:
Dive deeper into the economics of the cloud and understand how AWS can positively impact your organization
Learn how a customer gained real-time visibility into instance cost and usage to reduce spending
Who Should Attend:

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.
