Heterogeneity and homogeneity measures of attractionsBabu George
Traditionally, economists have attempted to develop indices that measure industry concentration and such indices have become the basis of considerable antitrust litigations. The inverse of industry concentration can give valuable managerial clues about industry diversity and competition. In this paper, we extrapolate these ideas and develop the blueprint for Attraction Diversity Index (ADI), which is conceived as a measure of the diversity of attraction types in a destination area. We also propose its inverse, Attraction Cluster Equity (ACE). In order to demonstrate the usefulness of these indices, some hypotheses linking ADI-ACE with related constructs in destination marketing are proposed and tested.

Reflections on tourism higher education: Innovation and ChangeBabu George
The present presentation provides some intensely personal reflections about the past, present, and future of tourism higher education, with special focus on India. The presenter highlights forces of continuity and change in the historical development of tourism education. In addition to more trivial issues such as curriculum design, instruction, and campus placements, deeper currents that manipulate the system such as authority and dogma are touched upon. Special mention is accorded to the historical factors that resulted in the current state of institution development and the future outlook. The presenter worked as a faculty member in one of the Central Universities of India teaching tourism before he migrated to the United States six years back, which gives him the unique vantage point of an ex-insider. While no grand design is offered as a panacea, it is hoped that the discussion contained here will help clarify the issues better, which is the first major step in identifying meaningful solutions.
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.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. 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.

Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh
In this session I delve into the encryption technology used in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview. Including the concepts of Customer Key and Double Key Encryption.
2. What did you learn so far …
Some cool stuff you learned from the previous sessions?
3. Let’s Continue our Journey.
Let me start telling about my
journey
Also, tell me what you expects out of me!
4. A Brief Summary of My Research Profile
• Not to justify what I do, but to help reflect upon your own journeys
• A Jack of all trades (a master of none?)
• Still, this might be a good model for someone who wants to see the
‘interconnectedness’ within their own limited ways
• Also, might be a good compromise for those who teach in B-level Schools with
limited encouragement for micro-specialization
5. Why do I do research?
• Get name and fame? Get acclaim? Tangible and intangible rewards?
To survive in the academics?
• Yes and No
• For me, research is equally a way of knowing who I am
• Most research I undertake (especially the ones I am the first author) has a
personal touch
• Despite being ‘compelled’ to do research in management
6. Some Reflections on Identifying ‘the right’
Topics for Research
• A topic that personally excites you has the bonus of providing you
‘intrinsic motivation’
• Even better it is to identify topics that excite you and like-minded colleague
• So, it’s a good idea to self-identify topics, unless your School stipulates
otherwise
7. How do I Identify Topics? -I
• I call it ‘amusement’
• Would it be so in social sciences? A question that intrigued
me, always.
• Some succeeds, some end up as blogs.
• Research on information-based strategies
• Research on the internal structure of PLC
• http://babu-george.blogspot.in
• I call it ‘activism’
• CST Paper
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17450128.201
0.521599#.Uii9NhAiOw9
• Social Capital Paper
http://cdj.oxfordjournals.org/content/43/4/444.short
8. How do I Identify Topics? II
• I call it ‘chance’, or, ‘happened to be in the right situation’ with the
right set of people
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=1589144&show=abstra
ct
• I call it ‘opportunity’.
• My health tourism research
• http://centerforhealthtourism.org/
• I call it ‘realization’
•
The adaptive workforce-effectual logic research
9. How to Move On?
• Identifying a compelling topic is great, but not enough
• How to nurture yourself? How to foster interest?
• May be give a break?
• The neglected role of personal situations
• May be there is an actual issue with the research conceptualization or
operationalization that blocks its execution?
• Researcher as --- (metaphors)
•
•
•
•
an adventurer
A craftsman
A musician
Others?
10. Reflections on Publishing
• High impact, ISI /SSCI indexed journals Vs upstart journals
• Open access Vs Closed access journals
• Follow my research:
Google Scholar Profile
http://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=1knkioAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&pagesize=100
12. A FOUNDATIONAL QUESTION
• Is research methodology scientific? Is its truth value empirically
verifiable?
• E.g.: Focus group method is used to unearth empirical facts; but, how do you
know if focus group is a valid method? By empirical testing? If so, what
method(ology) would guide that empirical testing?
14. Innovation in Methodology is the Result
of:
• Our changing ideas of reality (or, REALITY):
• Radical innovations comes when we develop a different conception of reality.
• Also, from changes in paradigms.
• Incremental innovation could be about ‘just a better method to
glance the same old reality’
15. Paradigms
• “…the set of practices that define a scientific discipline at any particular period of
time.” – Thomas Kuhn.
• Positivism
• Information derived from logical and mathematical treatments and reports of sensory
experience is the exclusive source of all authoritative knowledge, and that there is valid
knowledge (truth) only in scientific knowledge.
• Post-positivism
• Postpositivists accept that theories, background, knowledge and values of the researcher can
influence what is observed, take into account of these potential biases while analyzing and
concluding.
• Critical theory
• Theory is a weapon of liberation and it does this by criticism of the circumstances that
enslave beings.
• Constructivism
• The constructivists investigate and theorize how human beings create systems for
meaningfully understanding their worlds and experiences
16. Innovations in Focus Group
• Multi-stage focus groups
• My own research
• E-focus groups
• Online, Phone-SMS based, etc
• Quasi-Focus Groups
• Are Google search results on a topic, properly queried, not a kind of focused
view on a topic?
17. Online Forums are Information-Mines
• Market research (esp. quality, satisfaction, loyalty, brand impact, etc.) can
best be done by scanning on online forums
• Review of Taj Mahal on Trip Advisor
• Research on social issues based on forum posts / chat groups
• My research on human trafficking and CST by visiting chat groups
• Use of Reddit forum AskReddit is a valuable source of insights on various social
problems
• Twitter for research
• Used for raising questions and for pooling in answers
• Usefulness is enhanced with search engines (hashtags.org, twitter native search, etc)
• Google Maps for research
18. Some (Somewhat Novel) Software
Solutions
• Zotero and GoogleScholar Library
• FreeMind
• Wordie WordClouds
19. What makes a good research
paper: some examples
Of excellent, okay, not-so-good papers
