A brief methodology overview and series of Touch cases by Nascom.
"A purchase or experience is more than a singular event, it's a series of touchpoints that result in a sale or feeling."
We use the term ‘experience’ daily around (and outside) the office. But do we really understand what constitutes such an experience? And how can this understanding help us to create even better experiences for our customers and end users?
Dirk Bollen introduced the Nascom in-crowd to the magic world of perception. This gave us a better understanding of how things are perceived. It challenged us to dig a little deeper and find out how we can use this knowledge in our daily work.
Our UX Designer Nádia Ferreira attended this year's EuroIA conference in Brussels. This debrief offers a glimpse on the topics that were discussed and sums up our most important learnings.
Meetup Dare Devils: how to prototype your organisation?Nascom
In software development, a ‘prototype’ is what we describe as a rudimentary working model of a product or information system, which is usually built for demonstration purposes.
Here’s a crazy thought: Why not look at organizations in the same way? A working model that we can start from, but constantly revise as we move along? By using evidence-based practices to test, validate and improve our way of working?
Create culture. Create performers. Create habits.
What kind of company culture will nurture an experimental mindset and stimulate our willingness to keep learning? How do we adopt this culture, or even create it ourselves? Will it improve our performance in the long run? Can we prove it? How? How do cultural habits play a role in this story?
Adding context to your site using Drupal Organic GroupsNascom
Using Drupal Organic Groups to build communities is cool. But why not look a bit further? We started experimenting and found new ways to use the flexible built-in API. It is perfect for setting up very complex structures within a single Drupal environment. It lets you create small or larger sections that can start leading a life of their own.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
