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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

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).

23. Helping people with
information overload
‣ Vast volume of information
available today
‣ No normal person can sort
the worthwhile from the
mediocre or convert it all into
useable wisdom
‣ The information is too widely
dispersed and people are
too stretched, too short of
time and too stressed

25. Helping people with information overload
‣ As information multiplies, the ability to distill, process, research and
present useable and relevant information becomes increasingly
necessary
‣ It saves people days, weeks, months and years of their time
‣ They get exactly what they need to know so they don’t have to do
this distillation and research for themselves

26. Curating your own knowledge
‣ But you can start with product like
Evernote: www.evernote.com
‣ It connects all the computers and
phones you use daily
‣ You can capture content in one place
and access it from another
‣ If you can see it or think of it, Evernote
can help you organise it, find it and
remember it
‣ Create multiple notebooks. Search for
anything. Remember everything. Access
it from any computer or phone

30. the World’s top marketers all said ...
‣ People seek their knowledge,
often paying £50-100K or more
for their knowledge and
expertise
‣ Then they do nothing discernible
with the information
‣ They also invest in books but do
nothing with the information
‣ They invest in audio and video
materials and attend seminars

31. Why don’t people Implement?
‣ They’re too busy and stretched to
figure out what to do, how everything
inter relates, and how to execute well
‣ They don’t have the time or
inclination to immerse themselves in
knowledge
‣ They never gain more than a
superficial understanding of the
content or how to use it effectively
‣ They never get a chance to fully

32. The Workshop that changed everything
‣ I realised 10 years ago that people were seeking quick fixes (that
never worked) and overlooked two critical needs:
‣ IMMERSION in the knowledge, and
‣ ENGAGEMENT with the content
‣ The answer was an intensive 3-day, 30-hour workshop designed to
fully immerse and engage participants
‣ Aim: to impart more knowledge to participants over 3 days than
most people would experience from a lifetime in business
33. 53 topics covered in 3 days
‣ Building your marketing foundations
‣ Lead generation
‣ Sales conversion
‣ Maximising transaction values
‣ Increasing transaction frequency
‣ Customer retention
‣ Optimising your business
‣ Building layer upon layer of
strategies

42. The big question ...
‣ So what do you do when people can get all the content they want
for free? You need to recognise that:
‣ Everyone suffers from information overload
‣ Nobody has enough time to pull together content on their non-
core activities from millions of dispersed sources
‣ People need to be immersed in and engaged with the content
before they will act
‣ Only 1% act on knowledge imparted without further support
