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.

Pivotal CRM 6.0 for iPadAdministration Guide1-3Figure 1-1 Basic architecture for Pivotal CRM for iPadPivotal CRM for iPad has a three-tier architecture:• Data Layer - Includes the databases. The Business Modulecontains the metadata for the iPad application.• Business Logic Layer - Includes the Pivotal Device Server andthe Pivotal Business Server.• Presentation Layer - This includes the Device Client which isbased on Appcelerator’s Titanium Framework.
HTTP by default using port 80HTTPS by default using port 443Make sure this port is opened in Windows Firewall and Virus Protection Program Firewall Make sure PBS server can be reached by Device Server in DMZ environmentThe Pivotal Device Server listens to a request from the Device Client,processes it, and delegates it to the PBS. It then waits for theresponse from the PBS, packages the response and posts it to theDevice Client. Once the response is received by the Device Client, itdisplays the data on the iPad dynamically.The Pivotal Device Server can be installed in a DMZ so that it isdirectly accessible over the internet from the iPad, or it can beinstalled in the corporate LAN and accessed once the iPad is connectedto the corporate VPN.I spoke about this diagram in the iPad Overview video but here is a quick summary here so you know what we are installing.- The Device Server is required to run Pivotal CRM for iPad. We have called it Device because in the future we may want to support other devices like Android tablet or iPhone.- The Device Server listens to a request from the iPad, processes it and delegates it to the PBS. The Device Server waits for the response from the PBS, packages the response, and sends it to the iPad. The iPad displays the data dynamicallyWhat we will cover today is how to install the Device Server. How to troubleshoot: Possible issues: Problems connecting to the Device Server and Problems with connecting to PBS, Missing security settings and how to get the App on the iPad App
To work with the Pivotal CRM for iPad application, you need to firstinstall the Pivotal Device Server. The Pivotal Device Server is used forcommunication between the iPad client (Device Client) and the PBS.The word “device” is a generic term used to describe Smart Phone andTablet technologies. Currently, the Pivotal Device Server only supportsthe iPad client. In the future, other tablets such as iPhone and Andriodmay be supported.
ServerUrl Type the Pivotal Business Server URL details.CRMSystemName Type the Pivotal system name.UserDomain The default Windows domain used to authenticatea user to the PBS. This is used when the user logsinto the application with the Windows usernamewhile omitting the Windows domain.File value Here you can specify the log file location andname. By default, it is set to.\\App_Data\\Logs\\DeviceClientCRM.log. Thelog file contains useful status and troubleshootingInforlevel value Enter a value to set the logging levels. You havethe following logging levels:• All• Fatal• Error• Warn• Info• Debugmation, governed by the logging level.
MaxSearchRecordCount This value determines the maximum number ofrecords returned when you run a search forrecords within the application.Note: It is recommended that you do not set avalue higher than 500 for this parameter as it mayslow down the performance of the application.CacheObjectExpiration Specify the expiration time of the meta data usedby the server. The expiration time is applicableafter the last user activity.In IIS, right-click on the Pivotal Device ServerApplication pool and select Advanced Settings toview the Idle Time-out setting in minutes. Thecached system proxy expires in 20 minutes afterthe IIS goes into idle state.Note: The minimum expiration time is 15minutes. The Process Model Idle Time-out andCacheObjectExpiration should have the samevalue to ensure that cache object expiresconsistently.level value Enter a value to set the logging levels. You havethe following logging levels:• All• Fatal• Error• Warn• Info• DebugBy default,If you have skipped the settings on the Pivotal CRM Server Settingspage during installation, edit the Web.config file to provide the detailsrequired after the installation.Note: You can skip this page and provide the server details later by modifying theWeb.config file. Click Next to move to the next screen.Note: Always run the command prompt as administrator in a locked downenvironment. If not, the installation fails and the message “Product: PivotalDevice Server 6.0 -- Error 27501. This setup requires Administrator privilegesfor configuring IIS Virtual Roots” is displayed in the Event Viewer > Applicationsand Service Logs.How do I Install/Deploy Pivotal CRM for iPad?Pivotal CRM 6.0 for iPadAdministration Guide3-4You need to first set up the Server URL and CRM System Name. IISASP.Net applications by default have a maximum response size of4MB. Since attachments can be larger than this size, the productinstallation sets the maximum response size to 100MB by default. Thisis the maxRequestLengthoption in the Web.config file.If a response size is greater than this value, then an error is returnedto the application as follows: Server Communication Problem: Failed tointerpret the response text. See log for more information.
Hung:#1 – is that a bug in our installer? 500 should be the default limit I think.#4 – I can't remember the latest on this. Whatever is the answer, we should put into the admin guide! Manal:#2 – I think the issue is we think a value of 60 minutes makes more sense, but we cannot also alter the IIS setting automatically. Humg please confirm.#3 – Everything you look at on he iPad is cached on the iPad. That is how the offline mode works. In SP1 there will be a Web.Config setting that turns off Offline mode for all iPads. This is for customers who are concerned about data remaining on the iPad. I want to add that customers who are concerned about sensitive data on their iPad should focus on the security features Apple provide for the iPad:http://images.apple.com/ipad/business/pdf/iPad_Security_Overview.pdf.

I have more questions:#1 Question: the Admin guide suggests that the MaxSearchRecordCount should be no more than 500, but the default is 2000 when I installed it? <add key="MaxSearchRecordCount" value="2000" /> #2 Question: the CacheObjectExpiration we recommend in the guide that it is equal to the Process Model Idle timeout which is by default 20, but we set it to 60? Any idea what the optimum is? #3 Question: is there a setting for caching on the iPad? #4 Question: Does a UFO shutdown the Device Server?

A reasonable list of apps that allow integration this way is here: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_SchemesWe intend to have our own schema too, so other apps (and web urls) can launch the Pivotal/Saratogo app, much like shortcuts.Cheers,Martin Martin StibyT: +1 604-699-8039 | C: +1 604-363-6932 | E: mstiby@cdcsoftware.com CDC Software: The Customer-Driven Company™ From: Manal Samaan <msamaan@cdcsoftware.com>To: Martin Stiby <mstiby@cdcsoftware.com>Subject: iPad Hi Martin, Can you think of an example of how our iPad app integrates with other apps, it is in the key features….

To Troubleshoot the Pivotal Device Server1 Firstly, ensure that the IIS is functional. To check this, open anyweb browser and enter the URL http://system123. You should seeNote: Ensure that the newly created application pool is using .Net Framework version4.0.30319 or above. Also, the Managed pipeline mode should be set toIntegrated and the check box for Start application pool immediately shouldbe selected.Note: The alias is used in Device Client to connect to this application. For example,http://<server IP address>/deviceserver2.How do I Install/Deploy Pivotal CRM for iPad?an IIS 7 welcome page. If not, you need to resolve the IISproblem.2 If you do see the IIS 7 welcome page, then in the web browserenter the URL http://system123/PivotalDeviceServer/App/. If thePivotal Device Server is set up correctly, then you should see awelcome message. If you do not see the welcome message, then itcould be a .NET framework issue and a corresponding errormessage is displayed.3 If all the above steps are working fine, then check the PivotalDevice Server log for any error messages. The DeviceServer loglocation is C:\\Program Files\\CDC Software\\PivotalCRM\\DeviceServer\\App_Data.4 If you see Error Code 500, usually it means the Pivotal DeviceServer is having problems connecting to the PBS or PBS failed torun. Ensure that the PBS has started and ePower is up and you areable to connect to it. Also, you may look into the Windows eventlog for more information.5 For the PivotalDeviceServer App pool advanced settings in the IIS,the Process Model Identity should be set to NetworkService. If youdecide to change to some other account, ensure that theDeviceServerApp_Data folder present in C:\\Program Files\\CDCSoftware\\Pivotal CRM\\DeviceServer\\ is read/write enabled by theProcess Model Identity.
Anchored Tab Using the Anchored Tab lets you displayinformation that is always visible in anon-scrollable header on the form.Tabs Most fields on a form should go into thescrollable region below the header. Createa non-anchored tab to define the segmentsin the scrollable region. If multiple tabs aredefined in the Active Form Designer, thefields are merged into one scrollable region,starting with the fields in the first tab in leftto right order.See AddingTabs on page4-6.Segments Depending on the table referenced, formsegments are any of the following:• PrimaryThe form segment references the sametable as the form itself.• SecondaryThe form segment references a differenttable, linked by a Foreign Key drop-downlist.Note: You can add the following elementswithin a segment:• Fields• Static text• Disconnected fields• Icons to a secondarySee AddingSegments onpage 4-10.Fields Used to provide a display and data entrymechanism for table fields from the primaryor secondary table associated with theForm.
A Business Object icon is mandatory. The drop-down list of icons is a legacy list hard-coded into Toolkit and can be ignored and if selected it does not display because it does not exits. Specify the name of an image you want to use or type in any string from the P6 icons.. If either of these does not match an image, then a default icon is used. Not all Active Forms have to have a Business Object. You only need to create a Business Object, if you want to access the form directly from the application tab group menu or if you want to get to the record from a search dashboard item.
