presents:
Broadband TV 2.0

Television is in transition from a broadcast medium to a broadband medium. As digital television migrates to new channels of distribution a whole new range of interactive services can be delivered to engage audiences.

With the introduction of interactivity, Television is moving toward new forms of communication that bridge the different worlds of broadcasting and telecommunications. In this transition, passive audiences will become active users adapting themselves to the new lean forward experience of broadband TV.
The challenges in delivering rich experiences and in redefining the future of TV are complex.
Broadband TV 2.0 will explore this new medium of delivery and the user experience considerations for designing new digital TV services for users.

The event is free and will take place on the 23rd of May at the Jurys Inn in Brighton UK.

Speaking at the event are:

CadInteractive
Open TV
PushButton

When you tear into the packaging of your newest gadget, the last thing you want to do is stop and read a manual, or sit there scratching your head wondering how to get it working. First impressions count, and although this is commonly known by consumers everywhere, Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Design has only recently become a hot topic, spurred on by leaders like Apple, Nintendo and Dyson.

Harry and Pete have both had recent experience doing OOBE UX research & consultancy for different clients, so their varying points of view should create an interesting dynamic in this presentation.

Topics will include:

* What things are normally done wrong in OOBE design?
* What's an effective design process for achieving user-centred OOBE design?
* What design principles can be usefully applied?

ALSO: SHOW AND TELL
Following Harry's talk there will be an opportunity to show and tell your work.

You don't have to have a polished presentation or anything just spend 5-10 minutes telling the group about something you're working/have worked on.

Three days of people enjoying, playing, sharing, experiencing, discovering, learning, participating, connecting and listening to sonic art. Expo is the hub and playground of the experimental music and sound art scene in the UK and beyond.A free festival that travels the country – this year landing in Brighton.

A new element of Expo Brighton is Unconference – a wiki conference to discuss ideas that intersect with sound art and experimental music, including digital art, sound terrorism, hardware hacking, composition, open source, or anything you like…that’s the point. Basically, the community defines the programme for unconference. Discussing the ideas here online, deciding on who will host, who will attend, what will be discussed and at what time. On the day there will be rooms, facilities such as projectors, soundsystems, coffee available and all discussions will be recorded and shared on the website post the real world event so discussions can carry on, connections made with new people and knowledge shared.

This website and the event itself is free to participate in. We just want the community to speak for itself and share knowledge - so go ahead!

In this full-day workshop, Indi Young, author of Mental Models: Aligning Design Strategy with Human Behavior, will teach you how to better understand the user experience through the use of mental models before making design and strategic decisions.

Those in the field of cognitive research have been describing and defining mental models for a few decades. Mental models are the most effective way to align design strategy with your users' behavior, and to approach your design from the understanding of the end user. Mental models are representations of people's behavior, philosophies, and emotion around how they accomplish something, regardless of which tools they use.

Indi Young is an applications and navigation guru who began her work in Web applications in 1995. A founding partner of Adaptive Path in 2001, she has worked with an impressive collection of clients.

The workshop costs £395 per person but Early Bird tickets are available until May 7th for £345 per person.

The celebration of music and digital art, now in its second year, takes place on 16th August in Victoria Gardens, Brighton, and is guaranteed to be bigger, better and louder than before.
Loop LIVE takes place across four distinct performance areas – new for this year are larger tents and two open stages dressed with the very latest in sound and visual equipment. The HUB arena will again house the more established names, whereas FUTURES will feature 2008’s breakthrough artists. The festival’s popular LIMITS area will be home to the more leftfield artists from the worlds of music, film, animation, and the open-air OUTER LIMITS venue will be buzzing with the best unplugged acts.

Last year’s sell-out crowd made the most of Loop LATE, a series of after-festival parties which took place across the city featuring international and home-grown talent. This year Loop LATE has been greatly expanded to include six venues across the city with full line ups being announced on 1st June.

Loop LIVE tickets will be available from 1st May via the Loop website www.loopbrighton.com priced £25 plus booking.

Loop LATE tickets will also be available this year priced at £8 plus booking fee for advanced tickets and £10 plus booking fee on the day.

To be presented in Brighton in May. Final date, location and prices to be confirmed very soon.

Only rarely are sufficient time, resources and skilled individuals available to teams who are developing commercially driven software systems to effectively apply rigorous approaches to performance test that system. In cases where applying rigorous approaches would not be effective, a risk-based, flexible approach to performance testing is needed. Rigorous or not, any approach to performance testing needs to focus on collecting the data necessary both to assist the development team in identifying, prioritizing, and tuning areas of sub-optimal performance and to assist stakeholders in making sound business decisions related to performance risks.

In this course, you will learn:

* Nine core principles found in most successful performance testing projects
* Concise, universal heuristics and models for rapid application of those principles
* How to determine and apply oracles to software system performance criteria
* How to apply the core principles into your team’s development process
* How to plan ahead without reducing your ability to react to change
* How to communicate performance testing concepts to non-performance testers
* How to rapidly design performance tests that will achieve your performance testing objectives
