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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
State of ICS and IoT Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2024 previewPrayukth K V
The IoT and OT threat landscape report has been prepared by the Threat Research Team at Sectrio using data from Sectrio, cyber threat intelligence farming facilities spread across over 85 cities around the world. In addition, Sectrio also runs AI-based advanced threat and payload engagement facilities that serve as sinks to attract and engage sophisticated threat actors, and newer malware including new variants and latent threats that are at an earlier stage of development.
The latest edition of the OT/ICS and IoT security Threat Landscape Report 2024 also covers:
State of global ICS asset and network exposure
Sectoral targets and attacks as well as the cost of ransom
Global APT activity, AI usage, actor and tactic profiles, and implications

JMeter webinar - integration with InfluxDB and GrafanaRTTS
Watch this recorded webinar about real-time monitoring of application performance. See how to integrate Apache JMeter, the open-source leader in performance testing, with InfluxDB, the open-source time-series database, and Grafana, the open-source analytics and visualization application.
In this webinar, we will review the benefits of leveraging InfluxDB and Grafana when executing load tests and demonstrate how these tools are used to visualize performance metrics.
Length: 30 minutes
Session Overview
-------------------------------------------
During this webinar, we will cover the following topics while demonstrating the integrations of JMeter, InfluxDB and Grafana:
- What out-of-the-box solutions are available for real-time monitoring JMeter tests?
- What are the benefits of integrating InfluxDB and Grafana into the load testing stack?
- Which features are provided by Grafana?
- Demonstration of InfluxDB and Grafana using a practice web application

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
2. The Land of the Lords
Brightness
Sumer meaning “land of the
lords brightness”, was a
civilization and historical
region in southern
Mesopotamia.
It is the earliest known

millennium BC).

There were at least 12 cities
such as: Ur, Uruk, Kish,
Lagash.
These city states were
centered around a temple for
the city’s gods.
These cities were
surrounded by agriculture.
One of the reasons that the
Sumerian civilization was so

successful currency system.
Kings were once elected, but
then their system became
hereditary.
The Sumerians were
paternalistic, men dominate,
while women in their culture
were low.
6. Art
They made their works mostly out of clay which was abundant in this
region.
The Sumerian used sculpture for religious purposes.
Sumerian religious sculpture included many depictions of naked men in
silent prayer.
In Sumerian culture, male gods were of higher worship than female gods,
although mortal men and women were depicted as equals.
Marble and Diorite was also used to make sculpture.
The Sumerians hammered Gold which was used on sculpture, of only
the gods and goddesses.
Gold was also found in the tombs of Kings.

8. Architecture
Sumerians built building using a platform structure,
which started at ground level.
These temples were made from mud and brick.
When finished these temples were square shaped.
There would be three platforms, one on top of the
other.
The uppermost platform was for the gods. The
middle platform was used for religious purpose.

10. Sumerian Government
Sumerian government was a monarchy that was
leveled by the priest-king.
This king had total control, not only over the
military, but also society and state.
This king would rule through divine rights and
Priests, who the king picked through divine
selection.
