Backgrounded on Rococo Software including three product areas:
- Java/Bluetooth and JSR82
- Bluetooth in the Browser with BONDI / WAC / JIL
- Social Proximity Framework : LocalSocial
Overview of LocalSocial, the new Social Proximity Framework from Rococo Software. LocalSocial is designed to make it easy for software developers to add rich proximity functionality to their mobile applications. It consists of client side libraries (for Android and J2ME today) plus a web service that is called by the library.
The usage of chatbots has increased tremendously since past few years. A conversational interface is an interface that the user can interact with by means of a conversation. The conversation can occur by speech but also by text input. When a chatty interface uses text, it is also described as a chatbot or a conversational medium. During this study, the user experience factors of these so called chatbots were investigated. The prime objective is “to spot the state of the art in chatbot usability and applied human-computer interaction methodologies, to research the way to assess chatbots usability". Two sorts of chatbots are formulated, one with and one without personalisation factors. the planning of this research may be a two-by-two factorial design. The independent variables are the two chatbots (unpersonalised versus personalised) and thus the speci?c task or goal the user are ready to do with the chatbot within the ?nancial ?eld (a simple versus a posh task). The results are that there was no noteworthy interaction effect between personalisation and task on the user experience of chatbots. A signi?cant di?erence was found between the two tasks with regard to the user experience of chatbots, however this variation wasn't because of personalisation.

The world is rapidly changing, and the COVID-19 Pandemic has only helped to accelerate that change. For example, E-learning has seen a boom in remote work, teleconferences, and ecommerce due to the Pandemic. In addition, the e-learning sector boomed as millions of children moved to mobile phones to continue their education while the rest of the world shut down.

Our slides from a presentation at AppsWorld London Nov 2014 covering iBeacon, Proximity, Retail, In-Store Engagement and more. Covers our belief in the power of proximity as a force for good. Don't push offers, instead, acquire great data!
Slides from a talk by LocalSocial at NFC World Congress describing how Savills used LocalSocial and iBeacon during the launch of a new housing development in Dublin, Ireland. An app provided greetings and contextual information about the house as visitors walked through the showhouses, and Savills got in-depth analytics around visit and dwell behaviours across the showhouse areas.
Indoor Location / iBeacon @ Digital Summit Ireland by LocalSocialSean O'Sullivan
Slides from a talk we gave at the 5th Digital Media Summit in Ireland, covering Indoor Location Technologies, iBeacon, Proximity Platforms, Use Cases and some takeaways.
LocalSocial is a proximity platform that makes it easy to add in-store engagement features to a Retailer's mobile apps and services. Using in-store beacons powered by Low Energy Bluetooth, WiFi and NFC, it makes it easy for Retailers to offer Loyalty Points for Walk-ins, trigger offers and specials just for being in-store, and create apps that can be smart about where the customer is located. LocalSocial provides Retailers with greater insight about their store visitors, deepens engagement with customers, and helps drive the customer conversation.

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.

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.
