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.

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

As in a travel through time machine, all the pieces affect to the complete mechanism
• The way we model the tasks
• The way we define the qualifications
• The way we model the travel network
…
What you define today will have
impact in the results you will obtain in
a long term.
Think beyond the present: since the first step of
the model approach, we are setting the basis of a
complex and solid architecture that will remain
for long time.
Past determines present, past determines future.

How to face the optimization? : Iberia´s insight….
WHO?
Optimization involves all the layers of the company.
Identify and clarify those conflicts between business targets and
operation constraints.
Ask for feedback, feedback and feedback to all the actors involved,
Users and Managers and provide them with analitycs reports and
optimization evolution metrics.
The know-how acquired by the proffesionals involved in the
optimization model must be shared and exploded as retrofeed in
the optimization knowledge lifecycle.

Optimization must be applied in every step of the resources planification process.
Planning & Rostering Pre-Planning Real Time
The real time optimization window that is applied in the day of the operation must be defined,
deciding in which timeframe the real time users have the entire responsability.
This window may vary in contingency situations.

DB: 15-20 SEGUNDOS SIN LEER RESALTANDO EL PORQUE DE LA IMPORTANCIA DE RETOMAR UNA ASIGNATURA PENDIENTE DE MUCHOS PROYECTOS IMPLANTADOS
DB : 1-2 MINUTOS RESALTANDO LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA OPTIMIZACIÓN DENTRO DEL CONJUTO
COMPLEJIDAD DE GESTIONAR LA OPERACIÓN DE MANERA MANUAL.
NECESIDAD DE ESTANDARIZAR DE HOMOGENEIZAR LA TOMA DE DECISIONES CON LA GARANTIA DE QUE EL FEEDBACK Y EL ANÁLISIS DE LA OPERACIÓN CUENTAN CON UN MODELO BASE LO SUFICIENTEMENTE FUNDAMENTADO
SOLAMENTE SE PUEDE CONSEGUIR GRACIAS A LA OPTIMIZACIÓN
DB: RECALCAR QUE NO ES LA ÚLTIMA ETAPA, LO EVIDENTE, LO QUE SE VE ( DESPLIEGUE Y ACEPTACIÓN POR EL USUARIO ) LA PARTE QUE GENERA MAS PROBLEMAS EN EL DESARROLLO DE LOS MODELOS DE OPTIMIZACIÓN , LO NO EVIDENTE, LO ASOCIADO A LAS ETAPAS DE CONCEPCIÓN, DESARROLLO, MODELADO, ES DECIR LO MAS CERCANO A LA CONCEPCIÓN Y ENTENDIMIENTO DEL NEGOCIO LO QUE EN MUCHAS OCASIONES NO SE DESARROLLA CORRECTAMENTE.
DB: NO HABLAR DE LAS TABLAS EN DETALLE, SOLAMENTE GENERAR LA REFLEXIÓN ACERCA DE LO QUE SE QUIERE OPTIMIZAR….MÓVILES ? , INMÓVILES ? , AMBOS, INCOMPATIBILIDADES, COMPLEMENTARIEDADES, POSIBLES SINERGIAS.
ES NECESARIO TENER CLARO , CON UN LENGUAJE INICIAL, BASADO EN REGLAS DE NEGOCIO, CUALES SON LOS PESOS Y LOS CONCEPTOS QUE SE QUIEREN POTENCIAR, A MUY ALTO NIVEL, ES LA PARTE MAS ESTRATÉGICA DEL MODELO DE CONCEPCIÓN DE LA OPTIMIZACIÓN REALLY THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE HOLE PROCESS
DB: LO ESTRATÉGICO PUEDE MAS TARDE ENTRAN EN CONFLICTO CON LO OPERTIVO, O CON LO TÉCNICO, SABER QUE ES PRESCINDIBLE Y QUE ES CORE DENTRO DE UN PROCESO CORE REQUIERE UNA FASE DE REFLEXIÓN INTERNA QUE CUANTO ANTES SE ABORDE MEJOR PARA EL PROYECTO.
NO LEER EL BLOQUE DE LA IZQUIERDA , REFORZAR LA NECESIDAD DE ANALIZAR PARA CADA ÁREA DE OPTIMIZACIÓN AL MENOS CUATRO BLOQUES DESDE EL PUNTO DE VISTA ESTRATÉGICO: LAS REGLAS GENERALES DE NEGOCIO Y SUS POSIBLES PRIORIDADES, EL MODELO DE GESTIÓN DE LOS RRHH, LAS CONDICIONES DE TRABAJO Y LA ERGONOMIA ESPECÍFICA Y LAS CONDICIONES DECONT
DB: IDENTIFICAR EN UNA ETAPA TEMPRANA CUALES SON LAS VARIABLES QUE PERMITEN ACTUAR AL OPTIMIZADOR, CUALES PERMITEN EL DESARROLLO DE UN TRACKING, ALERTAR AL EQUIPO DE IT DE GAPS O DE REQUERIMIENTOS QUE PERMITAN DISPONER DE FLUJOS DE INFORMACIÓN EN TIEMPO REAL ES UNA DE LAS PRIMERAS CONCLUSIONES DE ESTA ETAPA. DIFERENCIAR ENTRE VARIABLES BASE DE OPTIMIZACIÓN Y VARIABLES DE CONTROL Y SEGUIMIENTO DE LA MISMA
DB: AFTER THE CONCEPTION OF THAT OVERALL OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK…….
LA PLANIFICACIÓN DEBE DE APROXIMARSE LO MÁXIMO DE CARA A SACAR CONCLUSIONES DEL OPTIMIZADOR EN REAL TIME CON LA GARANTÍA DE DONDE SE PRODUCEN LOS EMPLEADOS.
EL NÚMERO DE EQUIPOS, DE MOSTRADORES, ….. SON RESTRICCIONES QUE EN ESTA ETAPA DE PLANIFICACIÓN SALEN A LA LUZ Y QUE PUEDEN CONDICIONAR EL COMPORTAMIENTO DEL OPTIMIZADOR EN FASES POSTERIORES…..
SABER CUAL ES EL COMPORTAMIENTO DESEADO ANTE ESCENARIO NO PARAMETRIZABLES ES UN ÁREA EN LA QUE ES NECESARIO EXPLORAR EL COMPORTAMIENTO DESEADO Y LOS POSIBLES ESCENARIO……
Db: NO LEER Y REPASAR DE MANERA GENERAL…..
DB: RESALTAR LA NECESIDAD DE DISEÑAR UN TRAJE A MEDIDA, UN TAYLOR MADE OPTIMIZATION FOOTPRINT PARA CADA ÁREA DE TRABAJO, DEPARTAMENTO…. SOBRE EL QUE PODER CONTRASTAR LA BONDAD DEL RESULTADO GRACIAS AL FEEDBACK RECURRENTE APORTADO POR TODA LA CAPA DE BI,TANTO EN FASE DE DESARROLLO COMO EN FASE DE MANTEIMIENTO.
CUENTAS CON UNAS VARIABLES QUE SON LA BASE PARA LA CONFIGURACIÓN , PERO DICHAS VARIABLES DEBEN SER COMBINADAS CON EL OBJETO DE REFORZAR AQUELLOS COMPETING FACTORS MAS VINCULADOS AL NEGOCIO….
HACE HINCAPIE EN EL DESARROLLO ESPIRAL BAJO CICLOS RECURRENTES DE MEJORA…
DB: DEFINICIÓN DE ESCENARIOS, LA CRITICIDAD DE LOS MISMOS DEBE OBLIGARNOS A PRESCINDIR DE CIERTAS VARIABLES….
CUANTO MAS CRÍTICO ES UN ESCENARIO , ES NECESARIO CENTRARSE EN AQUELLAS VARIABLES QUE SON CORE CON EL OBJETO DE SIMPLIFICAR EL MODELO DE OPTIMIZACIÓN…..
MÍNIMA ERGONOMÍA…… MÁXIMA EFICACIA….
DB: RESALTAR EL HORIZONTE TEMPORAL DE LA OPTIMIZACIÓN…… DESDE PLANNING HASTA REAL TIME….
CC: HEMOS ESTADO VIENDO VARIABLES DE NEGOCIO PERO ES NECEARIO TRASLADAR ESTOS REQUISITOS A UNA ESTRUCTURA DE MODELADO QUE SE SOPORTA CON BASE EN PARÁMETROS Y REGLAS, ESTE MODELO NOS ACOMPAÑA DURANTE LA FASE DEL MODELADO Y NOS CONDICIONA
EL TRADUCIR SACÁNDOLE EL MÁXIMO PARTIDO A LA CAPACIDADES DE MODELADO LOS REQUERIMIENTOS A REGLAS Y VARIABLES ES UNA RESPONSABILIDAD COMPARTIDA ENTRE INFORM Y EL EQUIPO DE IMPLANTACIÓN, LA PIEDRA ROSETA QUE MIGRA LAS VARIABLES DE NEGOCIO EN REGLAS DEL SISTEMA RESIDEN EN EL CONSULTOR QUE LIDERE DESDE EL PRINCIPIO LA IMPLANTACIÓN , ES IMPORTANTE PODER COMUNICAR Y DOCUMENTAR LA FASE PREVIA PARA QUE EL PUNTO DE PARTIDA CUENTE CON TODOS LOS INGREDIENTES…..
CC: COMO COMENTABA DB….. UNA VEZ CONTAMOS CON LOS PARÁMETROS DE OPTIMIZACIÓN ES NECESARIO DESARROLLAR UNA ESTRATEGIA DE COMBINACIÓN Y DE REPARTO DE PESOS EN LA QUE A MODO DE MATRIZ DE COMPATIBILIDAD VAYAMOS ESTRUCTURADO EL DISEÑO DE LAS REGLAS DE MODELADO DEL OPTIMIZADOR.
CC: LO HEMOS ESTADO INTENTANDO EVITAR…… PERO ES NECESARIO ENTRAR EN DETALLE EN EL INI´S WORLD…. QUE A MAS DE UNO ESTOY SEGURA QUE LE HA DADO MAS PESADILLAS…… UNKOWN FRIEND….
CC: CONTINUACIÓN CON LA ANTERIOR…… PARARSE EN ALGUNO DE LOS EJEMPLOS Y HACER LA ANALOGÍA DE DONDE VENGAMOS PARA REFORZAR QUE ES IMPORTANTE NO PERDERSE EN EL PROCESO, UNA VEZ QUE SE ENTRA A JUGAR CON LOS PARÁMETROS SE PUEDE PERDER LA LÓGICA GENERAL…..
ES IMPORTANTE TENER SIEMPRE PRESENTE MIENTRAS SE MODELA EL STRATEGIC CANVAS OPTIMIZATION DNA DE CADA DEPARTAMENTO.

CONTAR EL PROCESO DE ATRÁS HACIA DELANTE….MOSTRANDO LOS TEXTOS
NO SE CONCIBLE UN PROCESO DE OPTIMIZACIÓN EN REAL TIME SI UN ESQUEMA DE INTERACCIÓN QUE CONTEMPLE TODAS ESTAS ETAPAS, MUCHOS DE VOSOTROS CONTAIS PARA CIERTAS DE ESTAS PIEZAS SOLUCIONES INTERNAS , EN NUESTRO CASO CONTANDO CON UNA SOLUCIÓN INTEGRADA DENTRO DE LOS PRODUCTOS DE GS OBSERVAMOS EL ESQUEMA DENTRO DE UN MODELO CÍCLICO DE INTERACCIÓN ENTRE TODAS LAS PARTES.
CC: ES IMPORTANTE GARANTIZAR QUE CONTAMOS CON UN SET HOMOGENEO Y EQUIVALENTE DE REGLAS TANTO EN PLANNNING COMO EN REAL TIME TANTO DE GENERACIÓN DE TAREAS COMO DE PRIORIDADES Y PESOS. EL RESULTADO DE LA OPTIMIZACIÓN ESTÁTICA DE PLANNING Vs CÍCLICA DE REAL TIME DEBEN DE PERMITIR UNA COMPARACIÓN DE LOS RESULTADOS DE TAL MODO QUE LA OTIMIZACIÓN EN REAL TIME NO TENGA UN COMPORTAMIENTO DIFERENTE EN GRANDES RASGOS.
LA CALIDAD DE LOS DATOS , LA DISPONIBILIDAD DE LOS MISMOS OBVIAMENTE ES MENOR, ES IMPORTANTE DEFINIR EL MEJOR SETTING DE DEFAULT VALUES REPRESENTATIVOS DE CARA A PLANNING.
Cc: PONER EN CASCADA COMO VAN CAYENDO LAS FICHAS QUE DESCRIBEN A LA WA ( CROSS UTILIZATION )
DE ABAJO A ARRIBA…..
Cc: IR COMENTANDO LAS CARACTERÍSTICAS DEL DEPARTAMENTO
Cc: LA IMPORTANCIA DE LAS CONDICIONES DE CONTORNO…. NO SUMAN , PERO PUEDEN RESTAR Y MUCHO…..EN EL PROCESO DE OPTIMIZACIÓN
CC: EL COMPORTAMIENTO GENERAL EN ALGUNOS CASOS SE PUEDE MEJORAR A TRAVÉS DE CAMBIOS EN LAS CONDICIONES DE CONTORNO DE TODO TIPO.
