The document discusses the use of various new media technologies in the planning and research stages of a project. Blogger, Prezi, msn email, YouTube, Final Cut, Photobooth, Cybercam, and Microsoft Word were used at different stages. Blogger, Prezi, and msn email were used to share and collaborate on ideas. YouTube and editing software like Final Cut were used for researching trailers and editing videos. Photobooth and Cybercam captured short feedback clips. Microsoft Word created documents. Varying the technologies helped make the research and planning stages more effective for the later production work.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10

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.

1. How did you use new media
technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?
Planning & Research
2. There are various technologies that I have used
throughout the whole of the project. These
different technologies have further developed
my knowledge and I could use them to make my
work more interesting and better presented. It
makes it all the more clear.
3. In terms of research and planning the technology
was used more for presenting ideas and creating a
plan of what will happen. This has therefore
involved a lot of the technologies which have
specific layouts or forms of technology that can be
shared (particularly for the group work).
The technology had to be suitable for going back
and checking quickly, so that the group can know
what the initial idea was.
4.
5. Blogger is an online programme where you can post blogs continuously for as long
as necessary. This is good for a project in general because it means that it can be
continued through the whole thing.
In this blog you can have different admins. This helped particularly with our group
because we could all get credit for the work that we did (as well as when we signed
our own name). This basically meant we could post different things and share our
work load, as well as having a continuous flow of work.
In Blogger you can upload a load of different things, this is beginning with the simple
text on the blog post. This isn’t the only thing though, because also images can be
uploaded, alongside video clips and more. This was great for the group and
individual work because it meant that we could incorporate all of our work and
present the different technologies as they should have been.
In terms of the research and planning side of the project, we used blogger more for
the uploading of ideas- so we could all share them. We also kept it as a plan and
uploaded our feedback on there (with our weekly updates).
6. Prezi is a website which is basically like a giant mind map. This in itself is really
good for the entire project because it can be added to all of the time and the
layout is simple to follow that it can be looked back onto, if necessary.
Prezi was used more for our alone work, to which we could present all of our ideas
onto one format- which we could then share amongst each other. This was a good
thing when it came to different ideas (which we changed) to then add to after
discussing with the group- so we all knew what we were looking for.
In Prezi you can upload the video clips and images again with the text. The layout
here though is in a mind map and when the path is created it is good to follow so
that you can see everything and it is one continuous idea getting more and more
detail. The ability to add images and clips helped so that we could get professional
pieces.
In terms of the research and planning, Prezi was vital for us to get all of our ideas
together and we used it mainly for that. This allowed us to look into professional
products and then present then onto this online mind map.
7. The msn website helped the group a lot. This website allows the hotmail service, which
allows the ability to email to each other. This could be continuous and we could even
send them out to groups, as opposed to only being one on one.
This was great for our group work so that we could get in touch with each other and
then also forward on ideas or pieces of work if it was on one person’s desktop.
In this email you can send anything, in terms of video clips, images, word documents-
which was helpful because it meant that we all knew what was going on. The layout is
also fairly simple and the website is something we were all used to, so knew how to
use well and we could therefore get to know things quickly.
This was used a lot for the research and planning in terms of organising ourselves with
meet ups (alongside when we texted). We also sent over some of our footage when we
were researching if one member had a software to edit it that the other two did not.
8. YouTube is a broadcasting website for making watching videos. These videos are
usually home made ones, however there are other types of videos- such as music
videos, promotions (such as trailers), which helped our group greatly.
As a group, and individually, we could find all different kinds of videos that could help
us in the project. We also could upload our group work onto here to then embed into
our blog.
On YouTube you can upload your own videos and also watch others. You can also get
little comments and therefore other feedback- which is good for our group to help us
edit our trailer usually.
In terms of the research and planning we mainly used it for finding different trailers to
use for our own product so that we could replicate it. We also uploaded any videos
that we made so that we could upload them to our blog.
9. Final cut is a video editing software. On this software you upload clips and can edit
them together or cut certain bits of one clip. You can also edit different sounds too-
which both have helped us to have professional products and well structured work.
As a group we used final cut together mainly so that we all knew what was going on
and then shared it amongst the different YouTube channels.
On Final Cut we could edit our videos, adding special effects onto them and little inter-
titles onto each. This is helpful to get a good presentation of the work and make it look
professional and easy to follow.
In terms of the research and planning we used final cut to edit our videos together of us
when we were giving our feedback of what we found and things of that nature. This
allowed us to be clear and concise with our final choices and we could use it as
evidence of our group work.
10. Photobooth is a programme to which you can use a webcam and record short videos/
clips. On here you can click record or take little snapshots- which is helpful in terms of
quick videos.
As a group we used photobooth to record our little feedback bits and pieces after
discussing our ideas and what we had individually found. We also used it for giving a few
reflections.
On photobooth you can also add special effects to certain things. We decided this wasn’t
really relevant for our project and therefore decided not to do that.
In terms of the research and planning, we mainly used photobooth to give our research
feedback from our individual research and then when we joined together we made it
work and fit together, so we knew more about different sections. This was good because
it gave us chance to just discuss all of our ideas.
11. Cybercam is similar to photobooth in the way you can record short video clips using a
webcam again. This was good again because it could vary the technology used.
As this programme was on my laptop, the group didn’t actually use it together. However
I used it to give brief summaries of what I’d found and then also I used it for certain bits
of feedback or videos of me using software.
On the cybercam you can add certain special effects, but again I avoided these because
what I was using it for wasn’t particularly relevant for what I was using it for.
However, these effects could be used if it was for other projects and it was relevant
which would make things interesting.
In terms of the research and planning, I used the cybercam mainly to talk about what I’d
done and the research. I also used it to talk about certain intentions for the future
production.
12. Microsoft word is a programme to which you can create word documents. This is good
for any of the detailed longer pieces of work.
As a group we didn’t really use Microsoft Word together, it was mainly used for us to
make forms and things like that, which we needed to get a lot of information for our
cast.
On Microsoft Word you can use different layouts and patterns for different things that
you are looking to make. This is in the way you can vary different fonts, use different
colours, specific layouts and such else. This was good for our presentational devices
that we needed to make things more interesting.
In terms of the research and planning we mainly used Microsoft Word for the
preparation sheets for things such as the risk assessments, call sheets and model
release forms. This was just a quick and simple way to use it, which therefore was a
positive for us.
13. All in all, we tried to vary our technologies
amongst the research and planning stages, in
order for the rest of our project to run a little bit
smoother. This is because for a few of the
technologies in the production- knowing what
we did from the research and planning made it
much easier.
