Content needs to be written differently when you primary delivery is on smart phones or tablets. Shorter sentence structure and reduced word count, as well as principles from SEO are recommended.
Unfortunately, most of us don't write this way; we write until we fill up a laptop or computer screen. Also, our eyes can "remember" more on a sheet of paper or large screen than we can in transient "thumb fuls" of smart phone paragraphs.

All multi-lingual, multi-channel content starts with words and pictures. If you are planning on using structured content, particularly in a translated environment, selecting your source English words has never been more important. In this session, we will explore the impact of source English on multi-channel publishing in a global delivery system. We will look at:
Why structured authoring means we need to pay even more attention to our words
How terminology affects translation in terms of cost, quality, and time to market
The relationship between source English, translation, and multi-channel publishing
In this presentation, we analyze two global websites to see what makes a global content strategy successful and what makes it fail. We also discuss best practices for creating a global content strategy.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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!
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Bosch does not appear to translate. In markets where they don’t have significant market share, they simply don’t sell their household products. An example would be France – where they do not appear to market and sell dishwashers and fridges. The company relies on localization and transcreation extensively for its desktop websites that target prospects, retailers, and investors. Local expectations are important. The classic story here is Gerber Baby Food. In the US, we sell Gerber Baby Food in jars with pictures of a fat baby with puffy cheeks on the label. This meets our cultural expectations. In Africa, the cultural expectation – because literacy is low – is that the picture on the outside of the jar is of the ingredients. So a picture of a baby with fat cheeks says that the baby food consists of … you guessed it … ground up baby! A lesson Gerber learned very, very painfully.

There’s not one website you need to globalize and mobile but 4 – one for each geography.
Very simple math – 18 different websites x 64 different variants of mobile phones – that’s how many mobile phones Netflix says its writes to today – BTW – you get 1,152 different mobile variants Why bother?
As you know Apple won a $1B judgment against Samsung in the US – most people have interpreted this as a blow to Google and already Google has reacted by changing certain elements of the Android OS to make – what shall we call it – the overlap between it and the Apple iOS less evident. However in other geos, the same patent issue brought to court has resulted in a win for Samsung. The true winner could be Windows 8 – which has teamed with Nokia to develop the Lumens line of Smart Phones. While Windows 8 has virtually no market share today – this could change depending on what happens in international patent court.
How to get at the user’s information objectives?
When we do this work – or are presented with this research on behalf of our clients – what we find is that there are typically patterns of information consumption that cut across geographic lines . So our goal is to use the personas to assemble personas that can work in multiple geographies although some personas – like the microfinancing entrepreneur from the Indian villages we brought up earlier – may appear.
As we go through these personas – notice how they picture could apply to any of these personas – really. Personas in today’s world often cut across geographical lines. Although there are obvious exceptions – like in China – where censorship may make search more difficult.
