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!

2. Business Process Improvement Allow Employees to Focus on Innovation
As a global neuroscience-based biotechnology company, Elan must ensure optimal
employee performance to consistently achieve corporate objectives. Because of the
high profile and critical nature of the company, employee errors must be marginal and
productivity at its best.
They needed to improve business processes by effectively managing their human
capital and synchronizing communications across all channels. Because Elan supports
a geographically distributed workforce, they needed to consistently share service
offerings to expand their geographic reach in order to augment the following business
needs:
▪▪ To automate and eliminate paper-based HR processes
▪▪ To optimize the time management of employees and provide seamless process
execution
▪▪ To provide support and increase efficiency to employees in their daily operational
activities
▪▪ To create a multi-level authorization procedure that would increase dependency
on HR for report creation and absence approvals
▪▪ To upgrade the existing Intranet portal to include remote self-service access to
employees and managers
In order to improve their internal business processes and allow employees to focus
on medical breakthroughs, Elan needed a comprehensive Human Capital Management
(HCM) solution, for its ability to cultivate the skills of their workforce. Elan chose
YASH Technologies as a strategic partner based on their vast experience in successful
enterprise capabilities, extensive HCM implementations expertise, and credibility as
an SAP Gold Channel partner.
YASH Proactively Addressed Challenges to Ensure Successful Implementation
After another vendor implemented a previous HCM solution, the client found that
it created numerous inefficiencies, resulting in low user adoption. End-users were
reluctant to implement another HCM solution. Upon project initiation, YASH performed
a comprehensive assessment of Elan’s existing landscape and consulted with their
end-users and internal IT team about their concerns.
YASH proactively designed a detailed roadmap with Elan’s key team members that
defined all of the processes and steps, SAP HCM screens and data fields that would be
used, and specifications for interfaces and conversions. This ensured that users were
familiar with the SAP HCM application from the beginning and provided a smooth
knowledge transfer. Based on the proactive project planning, YASH proposed to Elan
that they implement SAP’s HCM’s Enterprise Portal solution with Employee Self-
Service (ESS) and Manager Self-Service (MSS) modules. This solution would deliver a
world of information and resources to the desktops of HR staff, empowering them to
provide employees with top-notch customer service, respond efficiently to employee
requests, and free up their time to focus on more strategic, service-oriented tasks.
3. “YASH’s successful YASH implemented the following SAP HCM functionalities to meet the vital needs of

- Manager,
- View their “reporting to” employees’ personal, attendance, and absence data
Elan Corporation
- Auto approval capabilities
- View various BW and R/3 reports
The Time Management functionality allowed Elan to electronically record hours
worked, attendance, and time sheet information. By involving the employees to a
greater degree, management could now review and approve work hours and coordinate
schedules more efficiently. The application eliminated potential errors, and ensured
synchronization across all points of employee contact.
Employee Self-Service automated paper-based processes and routine tasks and
enabled Elan’s employees to manage important life and work events on their own.
Available in multiple languages, self-service functions support more than 80 employee
activities– from employee search and benefits management to travel management and
procurement – in ways that improve productivity and efficiency by simplifying tasks,
reducing paperwork, and optimizing workflows.
Manager Self-Service gave managers an intuitive portal through which they could
accomplish their key tasks. They could make departmental decisions that align with
strategic business objectives in areas such as budgeting, recruitment, compensation,
and cost management; manage competencies; conduct recruiting and annual employee
reviews; and plan compensation and future staffing quotas. Managers could also
monitor travel expenses, track budget consumption per project, and check critical
variances between budget and actual costs. By leveraging analytical information and
flexible reporting options, managers could now plan, measure, and communicate the
effects of their strategies on overall business results.
An integral part of YASH’s methodology was to uncover issues and resolve them prior
to implementation with simulation testing. By utilizing an onsite-offshore model, YASH
was able to successfully address the challenge of incorporating routine production
changes seamlessly with minimal downtime. Because the power users at Elan were
unfamiliar with the Enterprise Portal functions, YASH initiated an extensive change
management program entitled, “Train the Trainer”, to build commitment and guide
key users on how to prepare and use manuals.
