Creating a REST API to disseminate student, course and dictionary data for departmental applications
For the past 15 years, UCLA has used a replicated data system to provide data to hundreds of applications across campus via stored procedures, views and other SQL objects. With the creation of a REST API, we are moving away from these point to point solutions. We hope that the use of such an abstraction layer will also assist us in transitioning to a new SIS in the near future. This presentation will review UCLA's API design & implementation and present use cases for data dissemination to apps.

Next Generation Campus Mobile Applications
We will present UC San Diego's next generation mobile application, UCSD Now, which leverages features of the phone to provide information within the context of time and location, such as real time bus shuttle arrivals. The iOS app is developed with Facebook's React Native framework and Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies. We will review the goals, UI/UX design, and the development process which is more akin to web development than native app development done exclusively within Xcode.

UX is a mindset
User Experience is not just a design process. More broadly, it’s an approach that imbues a project from start to finish. No magic wand, but a set of tools that incorporate a variety of HCI and design disciplines with artifacts that clarify requirements, illuminate pitfalls, and enhance the overall usefulness of a product. Whether your role is front or back-end, your team will benefit from understanding what a UX mindset can do to help your projects meet the human needs that they are built for.

Small Wins: Creating Customer Value by Developing an FMLA Module
In preparation for UCPath, UC Davis Health System implemented HBS ecotime time and attendance system. In partnership with the vendor, the team developed an automated tracking system for Family Medical Leave events. The former method of tracking FML was manual, inconsistent, and not easily auditable. The new module improved the Employee and Labor Relations business processes by automating tasks and reducing the amount of manual work previously required. This session will discuss the project.

Evaluating Facilities Work Ticket Management Systems
A presentation and discussion of our evaluation effort to find and implement a Work Ticket Management System for the UCSB Facilities organization. This is not an “IT Help Desk Ticket System”. Rather, a system for managing, tracking and recharging of Facilities work requests such as “Sprinkler overflowing”, “Paint office”, scheduled preventative maintenance, request parts from a Stockroom inventory, etc. I will review our approach, evaluation criteria, and end user scenarios used for evaluation.
