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.

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!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

5. 1
• This word derives from the Old French word
meaning "tail." The precise reference to tail is
uncertain: it may be to an animal `turning tail'
in flight, or to the habit in animals of drawing
the tail between the hinder legs. A X is thus,
literally, someone who turns his tail and runs.
8. 2
• The word X has its roots in Latin, and was used as a
synonym for a pole or a stake. Since stakes are often
used to mark boundaries, a X was a particular area
within certain limits. The X or the English X, was the
part of Ireland that was directly under the control of
the English government in the late Middle Ages and
the area was subject to British Law. Those who lived
outside this area did not come under English
jurisdiction and were thought to be uncivilized. This
has led to a very common English phrase.
ID the phrase
11. 3
This word comes from French, for a seller of
medicines who might advertise his presence with
music and an outdoor stage show. The best
known of the Parisian X's was Tabarin, who set up
a stage in the Place Dauphin, Paris way back in
1618. The word can also be traced to Spanish for
an indiscreetly talkative person, a chatterbox.
Ultimately, etymologists trace X from either the
Italian ciarlare, to prattle; or from Cerretano, a
resident of Cerreto, a village in Umbria, known
for its quacks.
14. 4
X is a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter
by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous
treatment of their subjects. The word derives from the Italian word
meaning - a joke, ridicule or mockery. X overlaps in meaning with
caricature, parody and travesty, and, in its theatrical sense, with
extravaganza, as presented during the Victorian era.X has been used
in English in this literary and theatrical sense since the late 17th
century. It has widely been applied retrospectively to works of
Chaucer and Shakespeare and to the Graeco-Roman classics. A later
use of the term, particularly in the United States, refers to
performances in a variety show format. These were popular from
the 1860s to the 1940s, often in cabarets and clubs, as well as
theatres, and featured bawdy comedy and female striptease. Some
Hollywood films attempted to recreate the spirit of these
performances from the 1930s to the 1960s, or included X-style
scenes within dramatic films, such as 1972's Cabaret and 1979's All
That Jazz, among others.
17. 5
This word derives from the Greek word
"bous," meaning ox. “Bous” eventually led to
"boukolos," meaning herdsman. The present
meaning of the word is used with regard to
idealized country life and means idyllically
rustic. Give the good word.
20. 6
The word ----------------- derives from the name of
Étienne de X, a French finance minister who, in
1759, was forced by France's credit crisis during
the Seven Years War to impose severe economic
demands upon the French people, particularly
the wealthy.Because of X’s austere economies, his
name became eponymous with anything done or
made cheaply and so with a type of outline
portrait.Prior to the advent of photography, -------
----- profiles cut from black card were the
cheapest way of recording a person's
appearance. FITB
23. 7
The X was based on the 19th century upper-crust English habit of taking
tea at ______. Not that the notably upper-crust 7th Earl of Shaftesbury
had much time for it. He is reported in Edwin Hodder's biography, 1886, as
saying:
“______ tea, that pernicious, unprincipled and stomach-ruining habit.
Nevertheless, the teas became popular with the middle-classes and
became known as ‘________' and, when the habit travelled the Atlantic to
the USA, light late-afternoon meals were renamed ‘_______ dinners'.
In the 1930s, the marketing department of the Gem Company while
dreaming up a new advertising campaign, decided to try and convince
previously unsuspecting men that they suffered from 'ugly, afternoon
beard growth' and that this could only be countered by the purchase and
use of 'Gem Micromatic Blades'. Needing a snappy name for this late-
afternoon ailment, which would of course bar sufferers from any genteel
'_______ dinner', they chose to call it X.
Give the term X.
26. 8
This idiom probably originates from an article
published on 14 February 1807 by radical journalist
William Cobbett in his polemical Political Register. In a
critique of the English press, which had mistakenly
reported Napoleon's defeat, Cobbett recounted that he
had once used a X to deflect hounds in pursuit of a
hare, adding "It was a mere transitory effect of the
political X; for, on the Saturday, the scent became as
cold as a stone." The present meaning is of a X is a clue
which is intentionally or unintentionally misleading or
distracting from the actual issue. The term is mostly
used to claim that the argument of another person is
not relevant to the issue being discussed..
29. 9
This word is from latin, meaning liquid. The ancient philosophers believed
that four liquids entered into the makeup of our bodies, and that our
temperment was determined by the proportions of these four fluids,or
Xs, which they listed as blood, phlegm, bile, and black bile. If you had a
surplus of blood, the first X, you were of the optimistic and sanguine
temperament . A generous portion of phlegm, on the other hand made
you "phlegmatic", or slow and unexciteable. Too much yellow bile and you
saw the world through a "bilious" eye , and since the word "bile" is chole
in Latin, you were apt to be choleric and short tempered. The fourth X, the
non-existent black bile, was a little special invention of the ancient
physiologists. A too heavy proportion of this made you "melancholy," for
in latin melancholia meant " the state of having too much black bile." Any
imbalance of these Xs, therefore made a person unwell and perhaps
eccentric, and, as the years went by, the word X took on the meaning of
"oddness," and a X man was one that we now call a crank. And finally, the
word was applied to those who could provoke laughter at the oddities and
the incongruities of life.
32. 10
This word is from the Greek word meaning, "the
act of distributing or apportioning" and later
became, wrath and retribution, righteous
indignation at the breach of rules. X was a deity
who restores the balance. If a bunch of
shipmakers were to launch a vessel without
saluting the gods, this act of hubris might call
forth a counter-reaction. There was no
judgmentalism or divine punishment involved,
simply a response from the other world to lapses
occurring in this one.
