A successful ecommerce project is a beautiful thing. It can raise revenue, reduce cost, and strengthen a brand. Unfortunately, the visibility of ecommerce and the breadth of stakeholders can amplify the usual project risks-availability of IT skills, understanding of business needs, scope control, accurate estimating, and so on. We sifted through the results (and in some cases, debris) of ecommerce projects over the last 10 years to bring you this "on the ground" view of what to do to turn the odds in your favor.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

About CSG Pro
4. Business Context
The New Reality of Real-Time
Technology is continuing to accelerate the pace of business
New micro-markets open constantly, to be tapped by the first to reach
them
Greater throughput on delivery processes has also increased the costs
associated with slowdowns or stoppages
The global reach of the Internet means that your customers, business
partners and competitors are always active
Staying on top of new opportunities and ahead of risks requires the
most up-to-date information possible
5. Business Context
The New Reality of Real-Time
Business Decision-Makers are less likely to be at their desks than ever
before
They’re at customer sites, meeting suppliers, or on the shop floor
(Or at conferences like this one!)
The information that they need has to reach them where they are
Real-time information isn’t real-time if you can’t readily use it until you
get back to your desk
Support for visualization and interactivity through mobile devices is key
6. Business Context
The New Reality of Real-Time
Real-time data sources might…
Be external to your core business systems
Appear as streams
Have less structure than traditional relational databases
Examples:
Facebook
Twitter
Logfiles
7. Traditional Analytics
Best Fit?
Typically…
Designed to integrate across many data sources, rather than a few key
systems
Report over relatively long periods of time, rather than hours or days
May be a little stale, due to latency in ETL processes that feed them
Due to data volumes, jobs may take some time to run or be batched
User interfaces often designed for desktop viewing and may not be
highly interactive
8. Traditional Analytics
Best Fit?
Traditional analytics serve traditional business needs well
Help answer broad analytical questions
Useful for evaluating past performance or planning for future
performance
But they weren’t designed to meet the needs of real-time business
Help answer operational questions
Useful for making immediate decisions
Real-time analytics augment and enhance traditional BI
9. The Technical Challenge
Making Real-Time Work
1. A lightweight, on-premise program that can incrementally capture
data without impacting operational systems’ performance
Optimized for real-time input (streams) or output
2. A high-speed data cache that is accessible via the Internet
3. A solid delivery mechanism
14. Solution Architecture
Why use Node.js?
Built on JavaScript
Event driven
Non-blocking input/output
Built for high-performance, real-time delivery
Lightweight and flexible
Well suited for both the server and the worker
Open source benefits
Community packages
Need Twitter/Facebook/Google authentication? Done.
15. Solution Architecture
Why use Microsoft Azure?
Secure integration with corporate networks and identity management
Support for open-source platforms such as Node.js
Proven web standards mentality
Easily scalable across load, geography
Straightforward code deployment
16. Demo: Call Center
A customer’s impression of your business is often directly related to
their experience when they call in – and these opinions are lasting
You want to make sure that this experience is positive – and take
immediate corrective action if not
Modern ACDs make data available about current state – metrics
like time in queue, percentage of calls that are abandoned, time to
abandon, and time spent with a CSR
Being able to see these data in real-time lets you improve customer
loyalty and prevent expensive churn
17. Demo: Call Center
Mock call center data
Cross filtering
Responsive layout
Automatic data updating
The “Simulate Call” fakes a call to the call center
