European Decision Support Days 2015 agendaCopperberg
The market of BI is shifting from early adoption to actual implementation.
It has gradually evolved from being rigid to a much more
flexible, agile process, that is cloud enabled, that organizations
as well as individuals can utilize. This change has now reached Europe,
with 37% of the companies performing Business Intelligence projects.
Big Data is projected to be a $28.5 billion market in 2014, growing to
$50.1 billion in 2015. The average business expects to spend about $8
million on Big Data related activities.
The early adopters of Business Intelligence and Big Data have
gained a significant advantage. Bain & Company examined over
400 large companies and their research has shown that those
with the most advanced analytics capabilities are outperforming
their competitors by wide margins. Leaders in the field are twice as
likely to be in the top quartile of financial performance within their
industries, five times as likely to make decisions much faster than
market peers and are three times as likely to execute decisions as
intended.
Advanced users of BI are now shifting from desktop to mobile, but
the question is how to manage this shift and overcome issues to
enable mobile decision support for decision making anytime, anywhere.
Converging the cloud and BI to enable the central coordination of
applications for information delivery to any device asks for a complete
tool that meets quality standards. Up till today, a complete tool
does not exist and it is very challenging to show the value of BI to
convince management and support decisions. This lack of value
measurements results in difficulties of ROI measurements of BI
solutions and thus the demand for performance management is
growing momentum.
After the staggering success and interest for our local Business Intelligence
conferences in Stockholm, Oslo and Amsterdam, we are
now glad to present our inaugural Pan-European Decision Support
Days conference. The Decision Support Days is not just a conference.
It is a business focused benchmarking tool for strategy makers and
business owners working with Business Intelligence and Business
Analytics from across Europe and beyond. The conference will shed
light on the current BI or BA strategies, processes, tools and models
that organisations in Europe and beyond are using in order to utilize
both internal and external data to drive business and enable faster
data-driven decision making.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

Measure soft and hard value
Good morning! I’m Samuel Driessen, information architect at Océ, based in The Netherlands. I’m responsible for the information management improvement program of part of Océ. Now on the verge of working as senior consultant for Entopic in this area.
We’ve been doing quite a bit in the social media/enterprise 2.0 space. In this talk I’d like to focus on and share our experiences with enterprise microblogging to improve information and communication processes.
Océ is a large international company, mainly focused on developping printers, copiers and scanners of all sizes. An important part of our business is business services. And I’m excited to tell you we recently launched an open network to collaborate with you or your company around document services, called the Document Services Valley.
As I understand working groups are open spaces around a certain topic. I was asked shortly before the conference to fill in for someone who couldn’t come. I’d like to focus on the following topic. Read slide. And make this concrete based on how Oce rolled out microblogging.
We’ve been working and experimenting with social media for some time. In sept 2008 a colleagues of mine from communications and I decided we start with enterprise microblogging. Bottom up.
Two big reasons were: we saw the need for horizontal communication in our organization. There was no working method or tool in place to encourage and support this.
And secondly, we saw there was lots of focus on supporting formal/structured business processes. But supporting informal, unstructured information and communication processes was not addressed explicitly. It was our strong conviction these structured AND unstructured processes should be seen as a whole: they give context and meaning to each other. To me that also the meaning of social in social media.
In three slides:
[slide 4] many see the organization in this way (managers/IT). And lots of money is being spent on defining and supporting this process. Discrete steps, with data/info going for one step to the next.
[slide 5] most employees see it in a different way. It looks something like this. They see colleagues with certain expertise/information connected in a certain way. It’s a network or community of people.
[slide 6] As an information architect I find it important to see these worlds as a whole. They are both true. And they should both be supported in ways that are fitting.
The interesting thing is the debate around e2.0 is hot around this topic over the last three-quarters of the year. More discussions about Social business, BPM and social media etc.
This is an interesting diagram I bumped into years ago. It’s called the IT Flower, but it’s about much more that IT. It’s about types of work, how work gets done and how information and tools relate to them. Furthermore it also has the ‘network effects’ dimension, which is interesting now we’re experimenting with and thinking about social media inside and outside organisations.
Now we see what types of work there are and how work gets done we can relate tools or working methods to them and see if they are supported.
At that time, in Sept. 2008, Yammer won Techcrunch Disrupt. We’d been comparing solutions and decided to go for Yammer. It was free and easy to set up. And free was a good thing due to Océ’s and the world’s economic situation at that time…
I can say microblogging has been a big success, also compared to other social tools we rolled out, like blogs and wiki’s. We now have over 2000 members and it’s growing and growing. We hardly advertised it. Word of mouth did most of the growing.
We see the number of active members also growing. >1% active users as in Wikipedia.
We see the number of different departments and countries growing. More use in Sales and Services for instance.
Usage pattern:
Start to try Yammer,
share some basic stuff,
after some time: start thinking about change info and communication processes in your team, project, department or over departments,
then: try to tie microblogging to business processes.
We also measure business value by asking users live and in Yammer. We ask for soft and hard results (numbers and stories).
Learning points:
- microblogging is easy for most, not for all. Don’t think you don’t have to train (functionality) and explain (concept).
- culture > closed culture, formal barriers between R&D and the rest e.g., communicate openly, management essential in the end for continuation. Make decisions what to share and what not.
- moderation is key > Yammer is a community, moderate it closely, encourage, connect, etc
We see Yammer showing it real value when it connects to the formal business processes. This is the present and the future for us.
We are currently experimenting with Yammer to improve information and communication processes between three of our chemical plants. To improve horizontal and vertical communication. They currently use paper journals. These aren’t shared between teams and plants. And not with management. We want to open this up to speed up the processes within the factories. By the way, this experiment was preceded by a project to work in self-steering teams. Culture change! And this experiment will be done in parallel with a project to improve decision making.
We hope to be able to share our results soon on my blog and/or a next conference. I regret I can’t share results just now yet. As for now, management is very excited to move this way, the team leaders and operators are as well.
