User centred design (UCD) and the connected homeCyber-Duck
This presentation is a summary of a workshop that was conducted at UX London and Mozfest by Cyber-Duck, an agency that merges lean and agile deliver with user centred design (UCD). The workshop was aimed at those wanting to apply UCD to futuristic technologies. The workshop explored the concepts and thinking of ‘how to design an Internet Connected Dishwasher app’ while considering a wider eco system. The workshop started by introducing IoT (and ‘nearables’), why its relevant now and how the UCD process can adapt to it. The workshop frames UCD in a wider product delivery context and is aimed at those wanting to learn on how UX tactics can be applied to successfully design IoT products and systems.
UX Strategy: A Systems Design Approach to InnovationLiam Friedland
Understanding systems behavior is an essential part of any UX strategist’s toolkit. In this talk, we'll introduce systems-thinking concepts that are of practical use to UX strategists in their day-to-day planning, organizing, and influencing. We discuss businesses as systems, or holoarchies, and introduce some simple, yet powerful tools for analyzing organizational stakeholders and creating influencing strategies.
Finally, we present User Experience (UX) itself as a meme for driving organizational renewal through innovation. We'll use several examples to illustrate how UX is a systems-thinking paradigm.

How BS8878 brings together usability & accessibilityJonathan Hassell
Accessibility is all about checklists, HTML and assistive technologies. Its only impact on User Experience is to stop designers from being creative.
Sometimes, you'd be forgiven for thinking that those two statements are true.
Professor Jonathan Hassell has spent much of his last three years disproving them, both at the BBC and in other organisations, and coding how accessibility should be seen in the context of user-centred design into BS 8878.
In this presentation from Camp Digital Manchester 2012 he shows how BS 8878 provides a framework for helping UX professionals embed accessibility considerations into their work, how it can empower and free them from onerous constraints, how it can challenge them to be more creative, and how the results can benefit all users, not just those with disabilities.
Prototyping is not a new concept, but the role it plays in the design process has changed dramatically in the last few years. Proliferation of agile methods and the grassroots nature of design thinking have opened up new opportunities where research and design happen simultaneously. New tools for building digital prototypes have given design teams numerous options from very simple demos to complex proof of concepts.
The Devbridge Design team shares their experience and explore cases where prototyping has driven the design and research process. With varying levels of complexity and fidelity, each has had a different outcome.

User experience is vital, and the word "design" seems to be a buzz word and a magical pill to elevate products or services - all thanks to global success and publicity of Apple. Organisations in Asia will benefit by grasping the essence of user experience and design research. Lean UX evolved from well-understood UX practices, to conduct UX in a much leaner and cost effective way. As the saying goes" Some UX is better than no UX"!
Raven will share fundamental concepts and "quick-and-dirty" tips that enable improvement on user experience of products or services in a cost effective manner with case studies.
As user experience evolves, new practices and techniques come into vogue. At the forefront of UX today are "Lean" and Agile UX methods and approaches.
"Lean UX" has become a buzz term that has grown out of the Lean Startup movement, which is based on the Lean philosophy of Steve Blank and Eric Ries (see Eric Ries' book, Lean Startup).
There's just one problem with Lean UX- what is it exactly, and how can it be implemented well? How does one approach "Lean" as an agency, a startup, a Fortune 100? It turns out there are a lot of interpretations of Lean UX in practice, and that a one-size-fits-all methodology may not be the answer.
This diverse of Lean UX forerunners and practitioners will attempt to address these thorny questions. Panelists will spend a few minutes defining Lean UX on their own terms, including how Lean UX is similar and/or diffferent from Agile UX. Thereafter, panelists will spend 10-15 minutes digging into the nitty-gritty implementation details of how they are practicing Lean UX on a day-day level for company and client projects.
Web content: it’s the meat in the sandwich, not the icing on the cake. Too often, organizations fail to deliver content that meets user needs and serves their business goals. Even during website redesigns, the editorial process gets short shrift in favor of building new features and creating new designs. Thinking about the content is always left until the last minute, always thought to be somebody else’s problem.
Ever wonder why so many websites feature dense, unreadable prose? Force you to navigate through pages of brochure copy and legalese? Look like they backed up a truck full of PDFs and dumped them in the content management system?
No content strategy, that’s why.
When done the wrong way, creating new content and managing the approval process takes longer and is more painful than anyone expects. But planning for useful, usable content is possible-and necessary. It’s time to do it right.
“5% visual, 95% practical. The difference between good design and great design.”
Founded in 2001, we’ve built our name on developing products that are as beautiful in function as in form. Products that add value and deliver genuine real life benefits. That’s why we’re called Design Reality.
Everything we do is rooted in the realities faced by our clients (and their users): the needs of a nurse, a fire fighter, a soldier or a mother - and the pressures of deadlines, legislation and budgets. As a team, we’re able to adapt and respond to these challenges, providing answers that are at once creative and pragmatic.

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.

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.
