This handbook provides guidance on how to put users at the heart of digital products by listening to users through various research methods. It encourages organizations to engage audiences before, during, and after developing digital projects in order to better understand user needs and optimize products. The handbook offers case studies of organizations that have improved their work and seen rewards by prioritizing user research.
The document discusses the importance of having a serious social media strategy rather than just a casual presence. It argues that if an organization needs to be convinced they need a strategy, they are not ready. It also discusses how social media audiences are networked and influenced by each other, not just individuals. Finally, it provides examples of key elements a social strategy could include, such as defining employee social media policies, using tools to listen and engage audiences, and measuring results to optimize over time. The strategy framework emphasizes understanding target audiences and having a meaningful social brand purpose.

Eilidh conducted user research on the topic of life balance through interviews and exercises with 12 participants from different stages of life. Her goal was to understand what balance means to people and how they achieve it. Key insights included that people only share certain events on shared calendars, diaries can motivate productivity, and periods of imbalance often coincide with life transitions. Eilidh analyzed the data and identified three themes: communication with family/friends, food/eating habits, and personal prioritizing/planning. She focused on prioritizing and developed "how might we" statements to explore challenges people face with an increased pace of life due to technology and how personal informatics could help with awareness and behavior change.
How to Increase Member Value with Social CommunitiesWebjamMark2
Social business is defined as the ability of an organisation to use its online communities to improve its performance.
Most organisations are looking for cost effective and productive ways to interact with their supporters, prospects and staff:
Increase donations by engaging donors.
Engage with members to improve membership retention and increase membership value.
Create valuable new opportunities for membership benefits with the scope for previously untapped monetisation.
Connect members where you to stay at the centre of your valuable community.
Allow your members and donors to create their own communities.
Extend your reach on a secure platform to leverage social media and drive members to your community.
Create communities where members are more involved, with the scope for mentoring and accelerated interaction and feedback.
Streamline internal and external communications across communities and groups with customisable privacy settings.
Eco Events PR Group helps event planners reduce their carbon footprint and promote their green efforts through strategic social media campaigns and community initiatives like tree planting. They measure emissions, implement reduction tactics, and pitch green stories to media to increase attendance and encourage participation in local greening activities. This gives attendees a sense of accomplishment while supporting the community and ensuring they return in future years.
The document discusses NASA's assessment of its innovation ecosystem. It found that while NASA has processes to support idea generation and collaboration, like working groups and challenges, these processes are stovepiped and not integrated in a way that facilitates open information sharing and synergistic collaboration across the agency. As a result, NASA lacks transparency and efficiency in managing its innovation pipeline. The assessment concluded that NASA needs an approach to collectively leverage existing processes to encourage collaboration and bring together experts to promote innovative ideas and technologies.
The document summarizes the history of the Interaction Design Association (IxDA) from its origins as a Yahoo group created in response to Bruce Tognazzini's call for interaction designers to unite, to its incorporation as a non-profit organization in 2005. Key events included the first leadership retreat that defined IxDA's purpose and goals, building an organizational structure and governance, and announcing IxDA to the interaction design community. The first executive committee and board of directors were also established to lead the new organization.

The Razorfish Consumer Experience Report examines emerging trends shaping the digital consumer experience. It finds that consumers are adopting new technologies like social media, widgets and search faster than expected. This has fundamentally altered the consumer landscape, with consumers being more active and open to experimentation. For brands to remain relevant, they need to adapt quickly to these shifting consumer behaviors and emerging technologies, and act more like publishers and entertainment companies than traditional advertisers. The report explores how major trends like social networking, distribution of content across channels, and new forms of engaging experiences will impact marketing strategies.

We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
