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!

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

3. Strategy
Kaplow studied the traffic flow of the busiest airports in the U.S. as part of the selection criteria for the
promotion. Since moms are the head of the household and much of the travel during the holidays is
family travel, we knew that they would be important to reach with a message about our campaign.
As a result, we studied moms’ behavior and learned that they are heavy consumers of social
networking and social games. Leveraging this data, we distributed an original video touting Skype
WiFi through social games to reach this target audience. We also researched Web sites that had a
heavy focus on travel, moms and families to include in our mix for online video distribution online.
Implementation
Kaplow and Skype used a combination of traditional media relations (earned), branded digital
content (owned) and digital distribution across parenting, family and travel sites (paid) to create
awareness and drive usage of Skype WiFi by holiday travelers.
Interactive Skype WiFi Map: To make it easy for consumers to try Skype WiFi, we developed an
interactive map that travelers could visit to learn which airports were participating in the
promotion.
Consumer Media Relations: In addition to pitching tech, travel and consumer media, wConsumer
media relations” copy after heading with: In addition to pitching tech, travel and consumer
media, we also issue an Audio News Release (ANR) and broadcast on local television news
stations letting harried travelers know about the free Skype WiFi offer at their local airports.
Branded Video Creation & Distribution: To bring Skype WiFi to life, we shot original content at
Westchester County Airport illustrating how travelers could use Skype WiFi. In addition to being
shared with broadcast media, this video was also seeded across online media sites and social
games through Kaplow’s paid distribution network.
[ The Skype WiFi how-to video showed
travelers how to use Skype WiFi and
was viewed over 500,000 times. [

4. Social Media Content: To increase engagement, we drafted multiple blog posts about the free
Skype WiFi promotion and also disseminated related content on Twitter using the #freeSkypeWiFi
hashtag.
Foursquare Tips Campaign: We left creative localized tips on the main airport check-in venues on
Foursquare so travelers could learn about the free WiFi offer when they were in a participating
airport.
[ Localized Foursquare tips helped to spread the word
to travelers who checked in a participating airports.

5. Summary Results:
Kaplow helped busy travelers connect with loved ones
during the holiday season using free Skype WiFi in airports,
generating warmth for the brand and a change of
behavior among consumers. The “Skype Brings You Closer
to Home” campaign drove nearly 400,000 minutes of
usage of the product in the participating airports during
the promotional period, exceeding the brand’s goal by
30%. During the campaign, we received over 250 media
placements, the vast majority of which were online
(more than 200MM earned impressions), while tweets
about Skype WiFi increased fourteen-fold. In addition, the
company went from zero to 2,000 Foursquare followers
and gained over 83,000 new Facebook ‘Likes’ and almost
3,000 new Twitter followers.

“It drives me crazy when I have time to kill at
an airport that doesn’t offer free Wi-Fi. With so
many business and leisure travelers toting
laptops, it seems this should be a no-brainer.”
[ “The folks at Skype are now doing what they
can to help make the long journey before the
reunion a little easier for travelers.” [
[ “Travelers stuck at the airport during the holidays
will find at least one free gift, courtesy of Skype.
[
[ “If you pick an iDevice, then it’s the Skype WiFi
app you’ll be wanting updated in the lead up
to midnight.” [
