Agile-Friendly User Research. Nina Belk, UX People, 2013Nina Belk
“It takes too long." "We don’t have the budget." "We don’t really need it, we can just optimise once we’ve gone live.” Sound familiar?
As UX embraces agile as a project delivery approach, research seems get left out in the cold. Rather than shivering and complaining about it though maybe we just need to stick two fingers up to these assumptions and dare to do things a little differently!
In her workshop at UX People, Nina helped delegates explore how to bring research in from the cold on agile projects. There were tips on getting the research basics right (effective participant recruitment and facilitation techniques), and delegates were given the opportunity to road-test their facilitation and analysis skills in an agile-friendly framework (full exercises not available in this presentation).
If you're looking to arm yourself with some practical skills, and a research approach that will blow those assumptions about speed, cost and the lack of value out of the water then this workshop would have been for you, but you'll have to make do with this SlideShare presentation instead!
Effective meetings are essential to successful project management, helping to energize and connect the team. Unfortunately, too many project meetings are a waste of time!
A very quick and practical guide on how to prepare for, run and follow up with your meetings. This is designed to be a lecture for business communication class. Yet it is very hands on and it can be used as a training session as well.
Tutoring beginning graduate students. This short presentation instructs on keeping at preparation of the thesis while making progress with the experiments.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

procedures. These memos, known as field or lab reports,
include the problem, methods, results, and conclusions, but

Summary: In general, I felt that the lab needs much new equipment and renovation.
Problem : The inspection was designed to determine if the present equipment was adequate to
provide graduate students with the technology needed to perform the tasks expected of
them by their professors and thesis research.
Methods : I ran a series of tasks on SPSS and WordPerfect and recorded memory capacity and
processing time for each task.
Results : The inspection found that the hardware used to run the computers is outdated and that
the computers itself are very slow.
Conclusions : This lab is inadequate for the everyday needs of graduate students in this
department.
Recommendations : Four new computers running on Windows98 and a processing speed of at
least 233mhz should be purchased immediately.
