SIZzlE aims to address the high return rates in online apparel retail by developing technology that allows shoppers to enter their measurements once and receive size recommendations on any website. This would reduce guesswork for customers and costs for retailers. SIZzlE's platform would also let users store purchased items in a shared online closet. If successful, SIZzlE could partner with major retailers, process millions of transactions annually by 2015-2018, and generate over $100 million in revenue from per-transaction fees. However, the online apparel market is large at $26-35 billion currently, and integration may be challenging given prior companies' failures in this space.

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

3. Executive Summary – The Concept
What if Online shoppers were able to:
Be walked through a process to enter their measurements once using
SIZzlE com’s technology and have the proper size recommended to
SIZzlE.com s technology and have the proper size recommended to
them on every online clothing website that they visit
Eliminate the guess work out of choosing sizes and scanning confusing sizing
charts that are different for each brand
The net effect for the retailer and user:
1) Online shoppers spending more time shopping & not figuring out
which size to order
2) Reduce the return rate of online retail shopping, which is currently at
14%, nearly double the online industry average, eliminating the hassle
for customers and saving shipping costs for the retailer
Some retailers claim their return rate is as high as 20% 30% on their online
Some retailers claim their return rate is as high as 20% - 30% on their online
shopping sites, including Zappos at 35%, whereas the return rate for made-to-
measure online sites is in the low single digits (shows that proper fit contributes to
reducing the return rate)
3) Users will be able to store their clothing purchased into a personal
3) Users will be able to store their clothing purchased into a personal
closet in their SIZzlE profile, allowing them to share their closet with
personal friends who are also connected to their profile

Where Others have Failed SIZzlE will Succeed
1) MyShape: Founded in 2005 and ceased operations in March 2011
Funding: Raised >$31M from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Tenaya Capital and Angel Investors
Focus: Online personalized shopping site for women. The company matches shoppers with

p pp g p y pp
items that correspond to their personal measurements and preferences based on certain
shapes such as HourGlass, etc.
Why they Failed: Focused only on women and had sub-tier brands signed up for their site
Were not a platform on other web sites with high traffic, instead relied only on traffic to the
MyShape website
y p
2) Fits.me: Robot-based sizing platform that is starting to gain retailers online
Funding: Raised €2.6 million from Estonian Development Fund
Focus: Fitting Room that takes a user’s measurements each time they visit a site and then
recommends a size
Why they Haven’t Gained Mainstream Adoption: Based in Estonia and until recently, have
not had many mainstream brands. Have recently added Thomas Pink and Park&Bond by Gilt
Groupe in the UK. Have not focused on becoming a platform where users have a profile.
3) Fitiquette: Founded in 2010 and acquired by an Indian Company, Myntra in 2013
Funding: Not available Acquired by Myntra a $100M annual revenue Indian clothing business
Funding: Not available. Acquired by Myntra, a $100M annual revenue Indian clothing business
Focus: Virtualization product that creates a virtual avatar of how clothes fit.
Why they Haven’t Gained Mainstream Adoption: Based only on Myntra’s site and costly to
create an avatar-ed clothing item for each item of clothing that a store offers, especially since
they change every season. This is cost prohibitive to adopting sizing technology for every brand
li
online.
SIZzlE will learn from others’ mistakes & become a de facto measurement
profile without adopting avatar technology due to prohibitive costs

27. Plan of Action
Current Progress
Have had discussions and developed website wire frames with a software
engineer regarding website design and ensuring a scalable back-end
g g g g g
platform that will scale to millions of users and be able to incorporate the
many sizing charts of retailers
The beauty is that this sizing information is available publicly for most of the
retailers as they use it in their current size charts for their customers, so we can
start creating profiles for certain retailers, before we even sign them up a customer
When it comes time to pitch an online retailer as a potential customer, SIZzlE will
already have all of their sizes uploaded into our platform and will be able to show
them at the pitch a prototype of how their site will work

Business Mindset and Favorite Quotes
“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you're life is just to live your life inside the
When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you re life is just to live your life inside the
world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That's a
very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you
call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you
can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.”
