Writing Process
The document describes the writing process as having three main phases - prewriting, writing, and revising. In the prewriting phase, the writer analyzes the purpose and audience to determine the best communication channel. During the writing phase, the writer conducts research, organizes their ideas with an outline, and writes a first draft. In the revising phase, the writer edits for conciseness, clarity, and vigor, then proofreads the final draft. The writing process is iterative and encourages repeating any phase as needed.
Effective presentation
This document provides tips for effective public speaking. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, using personal stories and examples, practicing, and involving the audience. Speakers should avoid simply reading slides and putting too much text on slides. Proper use of body language, a clear voice, and well-designed visual aids are also emphasized. Effective speakers control the information, use the right words, and believe in themselves. Thorough preparation and rehearsal are key to delivering a successful presentation.
Revision and Editing
The document discusses the revision and editing processes in writing. Revision focuses on big picture issues like development, organization, and coherence. Editing looks at minor grammatical issues like spelling, word choice, and punctuation. Both processes are important parts of strengthening a written work from the initial draft. Revision ensures the overall structure and logic while editing polishes the smaller details.

Basics of public speaking
Public speaking is formally presenting a speech to a live audience with the goal of informing or influencing them. It requires skills like planning and preparation, positive non-verbal communication, and confidence. When planning a public speech, one must consider the purpose, audience, and timing. It is important to structure the speech with bullet point notes rather than a script. Non-verbal communication like posture, eye contact, facial expressions, and voice pitch are important, as 70% of meaning comes from body language. Public speaking differs from conversation in that it is more structured, time-limited, and requires a formal delivery style without vocalized pauses or filler words.
Writing skills of managerial communication
The document discusses various aspects of business communication and writing skills. It covers topics like the importance of grammar and vocabulary, different types of business writing including letters, emails and internal communication. It also discusses principles of effective listening and writing. Business language skills are important for career growth and organizational success in today's global business environment. Managers should focus on accurate grammar usage, precise vocabulary, and avoiding common errors to improve their written communication.
New Frontiers in Pattern Languages of Practices (Takashi Iba, PLoP2023)
Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
In this talk, I will present the new frontiers in pattern languages of practices. Historically, the concept of pattern languages originated in the 1970s as a design language for "Places" and was later applied to the domain of "Programs." Subsequently, it found applications in areas like education and organizational change, which can be considered as "Practices." In other words, the pattern language has evolved from Places, to Programs, and then to Practices. In the course of the development, we, Iba Lab and CreativeShift, Inc., have developed patterns across various fields within pattern languages of practices, writing over 3,000 patterns in more than 90 areas of practices over the past 20 years. Reflecting on our journey, we have identified five types within what is broadly labeled as "Practices": (1) Profession and Work, (2) Meta-Pattern Language, (3) Everyday Life, (4) Journey of Life, and (5) Forming Society. This talk will particularly focus on the last three types of pattern languages of practices — Everyday Life, Journey of Life, and Forming Society. We will share our own cases and experiences, including a pattern language for a good digital society, which was recently published by the Digital Agency of the Japanese Government.

What is DITA? And Is It Right for Your Team or Project?
Is your technical content development organization considering a move to structured authoring and/or DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture)? This presentation provides a high-level introduction to what DITA is--and what the benefits of moving to DITA are. DITA is an excellent solution for many--but not all--organizations and projects. This introduction can help you begin to understand why DITA may or may not be a good solution for you.
The Trip to DITA
Sometimes, a spontaneous road trip can be a lot of fun, as long as you’re willing to take the good with the bad—getting lost, car trouble, unfriendly (or just plain weird) natives, bad diner food. Usually, though, the most successful trips involve planning, roadmaps, and best of all, guidance from people who’ve already been there.
The journey from traditional, deliverable-centric content creation to DITA-based content creation falls into this second category. In this session, we talk about one small publication group’s experience moving to DITA, from the initial discussions to the successful implementation of a FrameMaker-based, end-to-end publication process. Here are some of the high points of the project; we’ll discuss our decision-making process and some of our technical approaches in detail in the session.
Structured writing using ms word
This document discusses structured writing using Microsoft Word and outlines 4 key principles: breaking information down into digestible units, separating structure from format, connecting structure elements to different information types, and arranging information by type. It provides examples of defining structure elements like titles and lists, connecting those to format styles, and organizing content like concepts, processes, and instructions based on its information type. Structured writing aims to make documentation more accessible and consistent for readers by limiting formatting options and arranging content in a predefined structure.

IBM Watson Content Analytics: Discover Hidden Value in Your Unstructured Data
Healthcare organizations create a massive amount of digital data. Some is stored in structured fields within electronic medical records (EMR), claims or financial systems and is readily accessible with traditional analytics. Other information, such as physician notes, patient surveys, call center recordings and diagnosis reports is often saved in a free-form text format and is rarely used for analytics. In fact, experts suggest that up to 80% of enterprise data exists in this unstructured format, which means a majority of critical data isn’t being considered or analyzed!
Our webinar demonstrated how to extract insights from unstructured data to increase the accuracy of healthcare decisions with IBM Watson Content Analytics. Leveraging years of experience from hundreds of physicians, IBM has developed tools and healthcare accelerators that allow you to quickly gain insights from this “new” data source and correlate it with the structured data to provide a more complete picture.

The taskbar model presentation
The document presents the Taskbar Model for the ANGEL Learning Management System. The model was designed to provide intuitive navigation for students and flexible course management for instructors. It addresses limitations in previous linear design models which required all content to be chunked into modules and led to confusing nested navigation. The Taskbar Model uses a table of contents and sidebar buttons for navigation between modules without nested content. It also allows activities to extend beyond single modules and overlap to enhance discussion. Instructors have flexibility to introduce assignments and accommodate student learning progress. The model navigates like a webpage for familiarity and eliminates nested content for easy access to resources, assignments, and communication with instructors and peers.
Looking at common patterns of Organization
This document discusses 8 common patterns of organization used in writing: chronological, sequential, spatial, compare-contrast, advantage-disadvantage, cause-and-effect, problem-solution, and topical. It provides examples of each pattern and explains when each is most effective to use. The purpose is to help students identify patterns of organization in passages for standardized tests and improve their ability to understand how information is structured in writing.

The document also covers paragraph development, patterns, and achieving unity, cohesion and coherence.
Design patterns
Design Patterns are very popular among software developers. A design pattern is a well-described solution to a common software problem.
Some of the benefits of using design patterns are:
1. Design Patterns are already defined and provide industry standard approach to solve a recurring problem, so it saves time if we sensibly use the design pattern. There are many java design patterns that we can use in our Java-based projects.
2.Using design patterns promotes reusability that leads to more robust and highly maintainable code. It helps in reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) of the software product.
3.Since design patterns are already defined, it makes our code easy to understand and debug. It leads to faster development and new members of team understand it easily

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Principles of composition: structured vs. unstructured writing
- 1. PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION: STRUCTURED VS. UNSTRUCTURED WRITING Presenter: Swapnali Saikia
- 2. About this session This session gives a brief introduction about how to develop modular technical content. After completing this session, you should be able to: Compare and contrast structured and unstructured writing List the benefits of structured writing Explain the principles of composition of structured writing
- 4. What is structured writing? “Structured writing is the process of creating and systematically organizing independent units of information so they are easily accessible, manageable and reusable.”
- 5. Differences and similarities Structured Block is the unit of composition. A block should have only one purpose or function. Topic sentences are absent or irrelevant. Unstructured Paragraph is the unit of composition. A paragraph should have only one thought. A paragraph has a topic sentence that comes at or near the beginning.
- 6. Differences and similarities (2) Structured There is no "transitional" phrase in the information block. Each block is labeled. A block contains 3-5 sentences – can have up to 9 sentences. Unstructured Paragraphs often require a transition phrase. Each paragraph is not necessarily labeled. A traditional paragraph does not have a recommended number of sentences.
- 7. Differences and similarities (3) Structured A block may contain a bullet list, diagram, or table about a specific topic. 7 + or - 2 relevant blocks create a map. Unstructured A paragraphs does not have such requirements. No such recommendation for paragraphs.
- 10. Benefits of structured writing Users/learners can significantly reduce the time required to find information or learn a skill as specific information is easy to find. Content developers can save time in developing the content. Also, they can easily spot missing data during the development phase.
- 11. Principles of structured writing The Chunking Principle The Relevance Principle The Labeling Principle The Consistency Principle The Integrated Graphics Principle
- 12. Six information types Procedure Process Principle Concept Structure Fact
