This document outlines ACAI's strategy for scaling the dissemination of AKILIMO, including:
1) Partnering with existing organizations that have dissemination strategies in place to facilitate entry and demand-driven ownership.
2) Implementing regular feedback mechanisms to ensure products meet beneficiary needs and are accepted before wide-scale dissemination.
3) Encouraging continuous learning through data collection and feedback integration to support ongoing acceptance.
4) Agreeing on appropriate formats like paper, video, radio etc. to disseminate information widely.
This document outlines an industry-academia collaboration program between IT companies and higher education institutions to enhance the quality and quantity of IT talent. The program aims to provide students and faculty with IT industry exposure through courseware, projects, case studies and seminars. It establishes a framework for MOUs between companies and colleges, along with program management practices to rollout initiatives nationally and assess their impact through feedback and analytics. The goal is to customize global foundation programs on open systems, internet, and mainframe streams to meet target student requirements.
Deakin University faced several challenges in establishing a mature videoconferencing service from 2008-2010, including network deficiencies, lack of standards, and user aversion. Key responses were improving the Warrnambool connection with fibre, developing standards and templates, and implementing better change control and monitoring. Currently, benefits include travel savings, access to experts, and improved teaching delivery and collaboration, though vendor issues and external parties remain difficult. Future challenges involve automating bookings across systems and enabling video anywhere on any device with integration and archiving.
Toolkit for developing the Digital Competences of Carers - Joe CullenCARER+ Project
This document outlines a toolkit for developing the digital competencies of carers. It discusses the need to assess gaps in carers' ICT knowledge and skills through competence mapping. With access to training and devices, carers' competencies can improve, leading to better quality of care and life for older people. The toolkit aims to map the process, highlight support needed, warn of obstacles, manage expectations, and facilitate replication of learning from the Carer+ project. It draws on research, practice from Carer+, and theories to develop a methodology addressing macro, meso, and micro levels needed for cultural, social, and organizational embedding of ICT skills.
A digital service provides tailored agronomic advice to cassava growers through various decision support tools (DST), including printable guides, a smartphone app, and SMS messages. The DST use a cloud-based prediction engine to extrapolate recommendations based on farmer inputs and predict responses to interventions. Printable guides offer simplified recommendations that can be printed for farmers, while the smartphone app allows extension workers to provide more granular, dynamic recommendations to farmers by collecting input data offline. The tools aim to help farmers better understand the interaction between agronomy and their local environment.
The document proposes a heuristic to assess technology practices in writing programs in order to plan responsive reform. It suggests mapping interconnected practices around technological literacies, pedagogies, and attitudes of faculty and students. Analyzing a program's practices reveals unsustainable conditions and the support systems that maintain them. The author provides an example analysis that identified issues with faculty's functional literacies and attitudes around course management systems. Reforms were implemented in three parts: adopting a new CMS, integrating technology into the curriculum, and focusing professional development on technology development. The heuristic is presented as a way for programs to internally assess practices and define their own technology reforms.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
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.
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Supports Intensity Scale (SIS): Identifies the type, frequency and duration of supports needed for an individual receiving services in order to complete particular tasks or participate in particular activities.
This information is collected through an informal interview.
SIS covers different domains, or categories, of support needed: Home Living ActivitiesCommunity Living ActivitiesLifelong Learning ActivitiesEmployment ActivitiesHealth and Safety ActivitiesSocial Activities
Each domain has 8 questions. For each question there are three answers that need to be addressed: 1. What type of support would be needed for that activity? 2. How frequently would that support be needed? 3. How much time in one given day would that support take?
Responses to the questions are chosen from the rating key of the assessment.
Type of support: “What type of support would be needed?”0=none1=monitoring2=verbal/gesture prompting3=partial physical assistance4=full physical support
Frequency: “How frequently would that support be needed?”0=none or less than monthly1=at least once a month but not once a week2=at least once a week but not once a day3=at least once a day but not once an hour4=hourly or more frequently
Daily Support Time: “How much time in any given day would that support take?”0=none1=less than 30 minutes2=30 minutes to less than 2 hours3=2 hours to less than 4 hours4=4 hours or more
Uses for SIS:
Created for measuring and planning supports and services for person with intellectual disabilities. Can develop Individualized Services Plans and track and decrease or increase in support needs overtime.
Plan for supports that will improve independence and quality of life.
Supports refer to an array of resources and strategies including individuals, agencies, money or tangible assets, assistive devices or environments that enable people with developmental disabilities live in typical community settings.
“Rather than mold individuals into pre-existing diagnostic categories and force them into existing models of service, the supports approach evaluates the specific needs of the individual and then suggests strategies, services and supports that will optimize individual functioning.”
**SIS info/goals goes along with the basic tenants of the SmartHome and Imagine!. Like Sterling told me – “to rethink the way we have always thought.”
Support Needs Index is a single score indicating the overall level of supports needed for the individual. This is done by taking the raw scores of each Activity Subscale as ranked during the interview. Then using Standard Scores and Percentiles as noted in Appendix 6.2 to get to the Composite Standard Score (Appendix 6.3). These numbers represent the overall support needs of each individual from Round 1 which was administered prior to the residents moving into the SmartHome (Range from 2006-2008) and Round 2 which was administered August 2010, 1 year after moving into the SmartHome.
