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.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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!

Web authoring, assignment 1
1. Assignment 1 -Web Authoring: Protocols, Design Conventions and Software
In this report I will be discussing web authoring were I will be explain briefly the three different
aspects of web authoring and what it is. I will be discussing the protocols, design conventions and
the software’s of web authoring.
Web authoring is a category of software that allows the user to develop a Web site in a desktop
publishing way. Web authoring will make required HTML coding for the layout of the Web pages
based on what the user of the page creates. There are three types of web authoring protocols,
design conventions and software.
Protocols
Protocols are another word for rules. Web Authoring Protocols is about the rules which govern the
exchange of data and information over the internet.
There are numerous protocols we need to be familiar with and understand one of them is URL then
Top Level Doman Name, Doman Name, Domain Name Registrar ETC.
URL is short for uniform resource locator; this is address for a website for example if you were to
click on a website like http://www.hm.com/gb/ it will take you straight to the page.
Another example of this a top level Doman name, this is the end of the URL. This shows the website
and the location for example www.google.co.uk the UK indicates were the location is.
Doman name is another example this is the name of a website. These tend to be more memorable
as people can easily type them into an address bar or search engine without forgetting it. For
example “twitter” is the domain name of www.twitter.co.uk
Also we have Domain Name Registrar were it is where users buy a domain name. For example I
bought “google” with the Top Level Domain name “.co.uk”. These are sold and managed by Domain
Name Registrars; they are the buyers of these protocols.
Web Page Naming Conventions are websites that are made of lots of pages, all using the same URL.
It is important that each web page has a good name that reflects the content on that page.
Home page = www.example.com/index.htm
Contact us = www.example.com/contact.htm
About us = www.example.com/about.htm
There is lots of software available to create a websites. These are separated into two categories:
Design Conventions
Designing a website takes lots of planning and a lot of factors need to be considered. We will go
through the main conventions, or rules, of website design.
Rule of third
2. The Rule of Thirds is one of the most important design principles. It is a rule that is useful to the
layout and composition of images and websites.
Images and websites can be divided into thirds: three vertical lines and three horizontal lines. The
lines that cross are the “Points of focus”. A person eyes is naturally drawn to those areas of the
image. A website that uses the Rule of Thirds is generally seen as visually attractive and keeps the
design of the page well-ordered.
For example in the image the below the baby face is the focus of the image.
Colour scheme
There are three main colour schemes that a website can be made with. Picking the right colour
scheme for your website is very significant in setting the tone and feel of the website. Colour
Schemes reflect the nature of the website nearly almost.
The three main colours that a website can be designed with are Monochromatic, Complimentary
and Analogous.
3. Monochromatic means “One colour”.
This means that if a website is monochromatic, so there is only one colour used on the web page,
however that colour and be changed to a different shade and tone, it just has to be the same colour.
Analogous
Analogous is using similar colours and locating the colour together, the colour can be different but
very similar to each other.
Complimentary
Complimentary colour is different colours that are opposite each other, however both work very
well with each other. They both are found completely opposite to each other.
4. Fonts
Fonts are divided into two categories: Serif and Sans Serif.
Sans Serif means the letters are clear and have no serifs. Serif is when there no flicks at the end of
the letter.
Font size and colour are also important in designing a webpage. Titles and sub-headings should be
larger than the text below them and to break the page and content up. Fonts should be coloured
well, so they can be easily read. For example I use a black font (Sans serif font) on a white
background. I do this because it is easier to read.
Fonts and text
Text on websites can sometimes be put together badly, making it harder for the user to read.
Paragraphs are used in websites, same as they are in writing, to put together long sentence and
break them up.
5. Each paragraph should have its own focus. For example:
A paragraph welcoming you to the website
Backgrounds
Single colours should stay with background consistently, and should make it easier to read the
writing on your website.
Patterns can also be used, but should not “distract” so people can concentrate on the stuff that’s on
the page instead of being distracted by the background.
On the web page images can be used, but they have to be a certain size because large images can
slow down the web page.
Software
HTML Text Editors
This is where it lets you type the HTML codes that helps build up a websites. They are dependent on
your knowing all the code you will need to build the website you want.
Example: Notepad
“<p> is used to make a new paragraph: example – <p> text paragraph </p>
<Br> is used to make line breaks between texts: example – sentences<br>.”
Visual Editors
This lets you create a website visually and do much of the programming for you.
Example: Dreamweaver.
Conclusion
In conclusion this report has looked at several different aspects of Web Authoring, protocols, design
conventions, fonts and text, background and software. I’ve learnt ways of how the internet works
and how to create a website well. The research that I have gathered will help me with the process of
creating my web site for my hero. Learning about the rule of third will help me have a good layout of
the pictures that are on my website as it will make them eye catching. Learning about the fonts and
texts will help make my web page more clear and readable.
