Socio-cultural User Experience (SX) and Social Interaction Design (SxD)Samir Dash
This paper introduces the ‘socio-cultural’ dimension of User Experience (UX) and Interaction Design (IxD) with reference to emerging devices and related eco-systems.
Socio-Cultural User Experience (SX) – the missing piece in UX:
I have coined the term ‘SX’ aka ‘Socio-Cultural User Experience’ to represent the aspect of Usability Design or User Experience (UX) that deals with usability aspect of products/ software in a social context.
Social Interaction Design (SxD) – Helping IxD to Focus on Context and Environment of the User
I am using the term ‘SxD’ aka ‘Social Interaction Design’ that deals with the ‘social aspect’ of Human – Computer - Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (IxD) that focuses on usability design in context of how the user is interactive with the app in specific socio-cultural context.
Considering the ‘Others’ in the User’s Social Circle:
The existing UX model does not analyze the need beyond the current user and his ‘type’ to do a usability test -- it never considers how it is impacting the other members of the society while the target user set is using the app/system.

Empowering Web-Accessibility through Artificial Intelligence (AI) _5Apr202...Samir Dash
A study by webaim.org on accessibility in 2023 found that 96.3% of home pages had been found to have problems with aligning to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WebAIM: The WebAIM Million - the 2023 Report on the Accessibility of the Top 1,000,000 Home Pages. 29 Mar. 2023, webaim.org/projects/million). To address these issues, an AI-enabled system is proposed to dynamically enhance web accessibility. The system uses machine learning algorithms to identify and rectify accessibility issues in real-time, integrating with exist-ing development workflows. Empirical evaluation and case studies demon-strate the efficacy of this solution in improving web accessibility across diverse scenarios.

This is about exploring a framework to build a scalable, portable design system for collaboration and automation by machines.
This keynote is part of Session 4.
Session 4 | (PM) DesignOps in the era of AI and cognitive computing
How are different organizations leveraging people-to-people, people-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions and autonomous systems to design and create new products and services? How do companies need to change their design practices and development processes in the era of cognitive computing and what roles will DesignOps play?

Applying DesOps in your Enterprise
3 hrs Workshop | Category: Design Practice & Process | Target Audience: Anyone who is interested in optimising the processes used in the enterprise or building solutions that focuses on process reengineering are the most suitable audience for the first part of the workshop. Any User-Experience pro, Design Thinker, Service designer and product-management professional can be benefitted. The second part of the workshop is helpful for the designers and UI developers who use the design system or would like to build scalable design system for their organization or team. Basic understanding of HTML and CSS is good enough for the 2nd part of the workshop.
The workshop will focus on two aspects of DesOps, namely the process and eco-system. The process aspect will be identifying touch points in the enterprise, and try to optimize that with some solution using technology. The ‘eco-system’ part of the workshop will focus on the a building a sample design system using Nuclear Design Model to make it scalable and extensible.
Three key takeaways:
Basics of DesOps from process and eco-System Angle.
Learn about how to identify touch-points in the process /workflow that can be optimised to bring automation or technological solutions.
Learn about the basics of of Nuclear Design Model and applying to build open, scalable and extensible design systems.

Semantic Design System : Redefining Design Systems for DesOps - v1.0 1sep 2018Samir Dash
"Design System" plays a critical role in bringing a common language and consistency in experience across different products and brands of the organisation, along with fuelling a collaborative approach towards design, making it easier for different team members to contribute.
With observation of design systems, we can notice, almost all of them are having different structure and approach to define these, and almost none of them can be directly used in automation of design as they are not semantic in nature. Therefore most of these current approaches to design systems are not future-proof for tomorrow's design operations (DesOps). Samir coins the "Semantic Design System", that address this issue, and focuses building a design system, that is equally human-readable and at the same time understood by the machine for the next generation of design operation with automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The talk also introduces, what Samir believes as "Nuclear Design", an approach that helps in to lay out a framework that is the foundation for building design systems with semantics.

This is a paper presented by Samir Dash at Department of English, Baba Bhairabananda Autonomous Mahavidyalaya, Jajpur, Odisha (http://bbmchandikhole.org/) on 16 July 2018
This UGC seminar session was an attempt to understand, from a non-traditional lens, the relevance of critical theory in context to today’s ever-changing technology space that is moving towards the Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Distributed Computing, become much more important in history than ever, as it deals with softer aspects of human identity and socio-cultural dimension through communication or human expression.
This interactive session will have two major focus:
1. A brief overview of the critical theories from a diachronic lens that will be helping the students in grasping the fundamentals in a socio-cultural context.
2. A cross-discipline comparison with the modern design-driven practices in the software industry that would help the students understand the potential and opportunities in the real world scenario where these theories would help.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
