First presented at WebVisions09. A look at the intimate relationship between blogging and designing and between blogs and design. Today, you have everyone from architects, to chefs, to politicians, to pop starlets filling blogs with the areas of their expertise but, to varying degrees, most of them are removed from the process of designing or developing a blog of their own — graphic and web designers, on the other hand, have a more symbiotic relationship with this medium that they employ to talk about design. This session will explore what it means to design a blog and what it entails to blog about design, what works and what doesn’t and why, even with the thousands of design blogs out there, it still matters that we keep doing it.
What can DesignOps do for you? by Carol Smith at TLMUX in MontrealCarol Smith
You have probably seen the terms DesignOps and/or ResearchOps float by in your social media queue. These teams make designing (and researching) at scale beautifully efficient and successful. Carol steps through how these teams work, the types of activities they perform, situations they are helpful for, and ways you can leverage these types of programs in your organization. Carol will share examples from her experiences and stories from other organizations that are using Design Ops to do effective design at scale.

3 Problem Solving Tools for Strategists, Business Model Innovators, and Strat...Rod King, Ph.D.
Strategists, Business Model Innovators, and Lean Startup Practitioners tend to use different and fragmented tools. Consequently, communication and cooperation are poor between Strategists, Business Model Innovators, and Lean Startup Practitioners especially in collaborative projects. This presentation features the Problem Solving Engine (PSE) Toolkit which is a visual framework that integrates tools used by Strategists, Business Model Innovators, and Lean Startup Practitioners. One advantage is greater communication as well as effective and efficient problem solving in innovation projects especially under conditions of great uncertainty.

Narjess Afzaly: Model Your Problem with Graphs and Generate your objectsknowdiff
Generating non-isomorphic (non-equivalent) graphs has many applications in industry and in different branches of science where the problem can be modeled by graphs. We discuss the importance and the difficulty of avoiding equivalent copies when generating graphs representing the objects of your interest, say protein three-dimensional structure. We then look at the techniques of generation avoiding equivalent copies.

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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
