Farm Fresh Broadband
This document summarizes the background and key arguments of a book analyzing federal and state policies regarding subsidization, deployment, and regulation of broadband in rural communities. The author is an Associate Professor who researched the topic through a policy analysis of over 10,000 pages of documents, 90 interviews, and site visits. The book argues that rural broadband policy is both incomplete and broken, failing to bring affordable, high-speed broadband to rural areas due to regulatory capture and prioritizing large internet providers. It also highlights some local success stories of communities connecting themselves with the help of cooperatives or local ISPs. The conclusions call for a national rural broadband plan, recognizing the importance of local broadband, and ensuring history does not repeat itself in
Rural Newcomer Telecommuters

Surveys, Data and Stories to Inform Policy and Investment
This document summarizes broadband access surveys from four rural Minnesota communities. Over 2,600 surveys were completed, with 25% of respondents indicating they only have cellular internet or no internet access at all. The top reasons for lack of access were no services being offered at their location or prices being too high. Respondents said they would use better broadband for education, work, communication, and entertainment. Stories from residents provided personal accounts of struggles with slow, unreliable, or expensive existing services like satellite that don't support needs like work-from-home VPN access or uploading school assignments. Community leaders are encouraged to consider these resident experiences and priorities when making broadband policy and investment decisions.
Community approaches to broadband in Minnesota
Community-led broadband solutions can bring competition, lower prices, and faster internet speeds to underserved areas. They also create local jobs and support new businesses by involving stakeholders, using creative funding, and working with neighbors through grassroots and transparent efforts. Successful community broadband requires smart construction policies and cooperation across an array of groups.

Broadband in Southeast MN 2021 survey
This document summarizes responses from counties, cities, and townships in southeast Minnesota about broadband access and issues in their areas. Availability of service is lacking in many rural areas. Even where service exists, functionality is often insufficient for tasks like remote work and schooling due to slow speeds and unreliable connections. Respondents cited high costs, challenging terrain, and low population density as barriers to improving or expanding service. Most rely on internet providers to make upgrades but have limited ability to influence them. Funding sources for improvements include grants, ARPA funds, and partnerships between jurisdictions and providers. Addressing equity of access and affordability were also raised as ongoing issues.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
