How to Organize Game Developers With Different Planning NeedsPerforce
Different skills have different needs when it comes to planning. For a coder it may make perfect sense to plan work in two-week sprints, but for an artist, an asset may take longer than two weeks to complete.
How do you allow different skills to plan the way that works best for them? Some studios may choose to open up for flexibility – do whatever you like! But that tends to cause issues with alignment and siloes of data, resulting in loss of vision. Lost vision in the sense that it is difficult to understand, but also — and maybe more importantly — the risk of losing the vision of what the game will be.
With the right approach, however, you can avoid these obstacles. Join backlog expert Johan Karlsson to learn:
-The balance of team autonomy and alignment.
-How to use the product backlog to align the project vision.
-How to use tools to support the flexibility you need.

Experiences using grails in a Microservice Architecture SpringOne2gx 2014Jeff Beck
We deployed five new Grails micro services into production roughly a year ago. I will describe how Grails fits into our larger polyglot architecture. And go through our experiences building and maintaining these micro services. Showing what items we reused and standardized across the application, and the pitfalls we have encountered. I will also work through some of the supporting technologies including Puppet, Vagrant, OpenStack, Spring Integration, and ActiveMQ and how we are using them with Grails.
By the end of the talk you should have the knowledge to evaluate if Grails micro services are good for your team and what support you will need to put in place before you can take the micro service approach.

How to Implement Hybrid Cloud Solutions SuccessfullySoftServe
There are a vast range of new technological trends appearing on the market, among them Hybrid Cloud. According to a recent Gartner report Computing Innovations That Organizations Should Monitor 2015, the “Cloud” trend has been replaced by “Hybrid Cloud”, but what exactly is this new trend?
DevOps Culture & Enablement with Postgres Plus Cloud DatabaseEDB
The Cloud and DevOps are made for each other. The ease of provisioning computing resources in the cloud is unmatched, cloud scalability allows testing and deployment for any size and type of application, and the cloud lets you reach developers and customers, wherever they may be.
Before you start down the path to DevOps, you'll need to work through organizational and cultural issues that are just as important as your technological issues.

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.
