Headshift is a social business consultancy that helps integrate enterprise applications with social platforms. They observe how people collaborate and take actions across systems to build "situated apps" that address specific use cases. This separates apps from platforms and leverages capabilities of both social tools and existing enterprise systems. Connectors allow apps to be built on Socialtext and connect to systems like Microsoft SharePoint and databases. This creates an important new technology layer in the enterprise architecture - the social layer.

Finding Potential for Monetization in Social Casino | Michal WitkowskiJessica Tams
Delivered at Casual Connect Europe 2016
Social casino players' behavior differs from that of other casual gamers. The presentation aims at showing these differences in terms of the most important monetization and engagement KPIs, with an extra focus on Facebook players. The data from the analysis is then used to infer about potential business strategies that can help in getting more loyal and higher-paying players in social casino games.
For marketers who juggle myriad aspects of business management and advertising, keeping tabs on the details of dozens of social networks is a daunting prospect. But for as overwhelming as it can often be, it’s also hugely important to making the right decisions and investments for your business. This one-pager maps the top 8 social networks against each other based on various criteria, taking into account things like user base, tactical applications, KPI’s and more.
CMMI models are abstractions of activities that should be implemented in technical projects and organizations. Recognizing the real-world examples of abstractions is difficult when a new model is introduced. The 2010 CMMI for Services looks for "instantiations" even more abstract than "projects", entities appraisers using the earlier Development CMMI found not always so easy to define. This conference presentation to CMMI appraisers shows that the Services CMMI outlines a business process unlike the earlier CMMI for Development which explicitly claimed not to do so.

Keynote preso for Digital Top Talent in Moscow March 2011. How companies can push the boundaries of media creation to become true entertainment companies, and expand their business opportunities.
In large organisations, digital fluency, confidence and knowledge are still lacking at senior levels, but the answer is not just to appoint a more digital CDO or CTO to fill the gap. Instead, we need practical models for distributing digital leadership among those who understand it and who are involved in development, and we need to clear that ‘digital’ is now everybody’s responsibility.
Change agents and local digital teams are often at the forefront of adopting new ways of working and creating elements of digital strategy, and they should be teaching and guiding traditional leaders, rather than asking for permission and being satisfied with brief moments of attention from above. The greatest challenge for any leader today is transforming their organisational architecture and culture to meet the challenges of the digital age.
This talk will share a practical model for distributed digital leadership, some insights into the challenges and opportunities of this approach, and some thoughts on how digital change agents should take control of the agenda and challenge their leaders to do better.

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. 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.

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.

Managers provide business logic,
based on abstract objects that
represent generic functionality.

54. Example Provider API Methods
Retrieves latest activity from the app in the
GetActivity() form of content items. The framework
automatically removes duplicates and adds
them to the database
Returns the tags on a given content item from
GetTags() the underlying application
Adds a content item to the underlying
AddContentItem() application. This allows the framework to
push info into and between applications
CreateGroup() Instructs the app to create new user group.
Instructs the application to create add a
AddUserToGroup() specific user to the given user group
The framework uses roles to manage
AddPermissionsTo permissions in the modules it creates. This
method receives a set of permissions related
Module() to a role, and sets them in the underlying app
for the given group on the given module
56. What I hope we are moving towards:
• Continued abstraction of specific business
apps from underlying social platforms
• More ways for people to organise and make
sense of their enterprise social world
• Opportunities for new forms of measurement
• IT running platforms and data, with business
units owning the apps
• Social platforms becoming key experience
integration points in the enterprise
