I Love CWU
I am overall satisfied with CWU education.
I plan to complete my bachelors and masters degree at CWU. Although I have never purchased
products with CWU logo, I do have a CWU sticker on my water bottle that I carry with me
everywhere.
Several things have led me to not be a fully loyal customer, but for the most part CWU is a great
school.
CWU does not offer the Master's degree I want and that is why I am not brand loyal, I will go to
another school after CWU. I am proud to attend CWU and wear CWU clothing. There is
emotional loyalty, but not enough to stay for my Master's.
I don't buy into School superiority, For me it is a personal decision and one that I made based
on my level of annoyance with friends and their constant bickering about which school is better.
CWU was the only school I truly had interest in as a senior in High School. Though I had gone
to visit many other colleges for some reason I always wanted to attend CWU.
It would be nice to have more of the CWU logos in stores and other shops so other people can
buy it them selves
I have been very frustrated with the transfer from Edmonds Community College to CWU. The
handoff was not cohesive.
As the son of person that also attended CWU (my father), it's safe to say that CWU runs
through my blood. I am a dedicated, loyal Wildcat and wouldn't have it any other way! GO
WILDCATS!
Everything above is based off my interactions with my instructors and from purchasing books
from the book store.
I have already completed one Bachelors degree at CWU, and am now on my 2nd and pursuing
a 3rd. I definitely am loyal to CWU. I will be sad when I have to take my Masters and Doctorates
elsewhere. The environment at CWU is always welcoming.
I wish the drinking fountain in the weight room was cold and that the nets on the hoops were
replaced when they ripped....I pay for it Also lockers should be fixed when broken and
equipment should be replaced when worn out.
My brand loyalty stands with Washington State University and always will, Central Washington
University hasn't done enough to build that kind of culture yet where people feel a deep
connection and sense of pride.
This being my first quarter at CWU, I feel mostly neutral at this time. This will certainly change
as I progress through to completion of my major.
So far I have enjoyed all the help from the staff in becoming a student at CWU.
As a third quarter "consumer" of CWU, my only issue is its "customer relations" with its remote
consumers (Lynnwood campus) and the availability and ease of purchasing its
products(TEXTBOOKS). My experience has not been that pleasant with ordering my textbooks
required for classes.
I think it's hard to be brand loyal to a smaller college if your family has ties to bigger universities
like UW. I'm also a huge sports fan and I follow UW sports over CWU sports.

Using ExamSoft Data for Item Revision and Faculty DevelopmentExamSoft
Recently, Dr. Misty Stutz and Dr. Kimberly Daugherty, from Sullivan College of Pharmacy, show how strong assessments begin with solid exam items. However, many faculty members struggle with writing questions, or even knowing if their questions are indeed valid. At Sullivan University College of Pharmacy, didactic examinations are created and delivered by utilizing an embedded-assessment software.
7 Essential Questions Highly Effective Facilities Leaders Must Answer_SRAPPA ...Sightlines
This session focuses on how Louisiana State University was able to answer the most essential questions surrounding Facilities Services on their campus. Attendees learned how a campus space profile can drive both capital needs and daily operations, in addition to exploring the tool LSU is using to predict their building needs for the next 10 years, the future indicators they’ll be choosing from to track operational performance, and how to engage financial leadership in the discussion.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
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!
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.

2. EXPERIMENT OUTLINE
• The purpose of this experiment is to determine which
Purpose college(s) would be best fit for me based on my personal
needs and preferences
•I think a college that is close to my home in Kent, WA so I would be able to visit
often or live at home. I want a school with an active student body that I can
participate in sports events and enjoy my college experience. However I don’t want
Theory there to be so many students that it results in an over flow of classroom sizes
because interaction with my professors is vital to my success. City life near campus
is also important to suffice aspects such as school supplies, food, entertainment,
etc. A college with a high praised psychology and/or business program is important
because I want pursue one of the two.College tuition needs to be affordable and
scholarships/ grants and student loans need to be available.
• I think that University of Washington is the best college for
me because it is close to Kent, WA, has an active student
Thesis body where I can enjoy the college experience, has small
classroom sizes, city life surrounds the campus, has a
recognized psychology program, and scholarships/ grants
and student loans are available.

4. EXPERIMENTAL EXPLANATION
Procedure
First I chose my the top ten schools that could be a possibility of going to. Then I created a
survey of 20 questions with four possible answers which regarded the different aspects of
an ideal college for me. Next I weighed the questions with the appropriate point value that
matched their importance to me. I continued to survey the ten schools researching them to
find out what scores they would have received on my survey, making an account of the
point given for each school as well as the running total of all the questions. Lastly I
reviewed my results to figure out which college is the best fit for me to attend.
Weighting
The way I weighted each was different according to the importance value to me in a college. I
assigned more desirable questions with higher point value and less desirable questions
with a lower point value. The least important questions were worth 10 points maximum
while the most important questions were worth 20 points. For example, I gave a question
about a doctor always being on call only 10 possible points because it wasn’t as important
to me as a question about having a psychology and/or business major which I gave 20
possible points. The question’s answers were also assigned a certain point value
according to their level of desirability. I gave a higher point value to a an answer that I
wanted the most from a college. For example, I prefer a smaller class size so I gave that 15
points, while having a huge classroom size would result in 0 points because that is the
least desirable answer.
5. PREDICTED SCORES
Categories:
>200 points (Ideal): Colleges in this category are the best fit for me. I know
this because I would be sure that it would fit my needs in a college after
scoring in this category.
150-200 points (Okay for choosing): Colleges in this category would be
okay to attend, but not ideal. I know this because the results might lack
a few aspects that I want in a college.
<150 points (Not ideal): Colleges in this category would not be a good fit for
me. I know this because they did not score well on many parts of my
weighted survey and showed that they were lacking in many areas that
are important to me.

20. CONCLUSION
Experiment Summary
From researching the questions for all ten colleges I have a very good idea of
where I will attend, based on the results of how they will fit my needs. The
weighing system made sure that colleges with a more desirable quality got
higher points then those that didn’t.
Process Improvement
A way I could have improved my experiment was including the sports aspect in
my hypothesis. Also, I assigned a few questions with high point values that I
felt in the end should have been lower because they were not as important
as other questions. If I would have done this my results would have had a
greater range, thus giving me a better picture of how the colleges compared.
21. CONCLUSION CONT.
In the end my hypothesis was supported because University of Washington
showed to be the best fit for me according to my results. This was not
surprising to me because most of my questions gave higher points to
schools that were near me. I was however to see that Seattle University
was a close second because I haven’t even considered going there until
I did this experiment. Instead of being dead set on going to the
University of Washington I may look into attending Seattle University as
well.
Overall I found this experiment extremely helpful to me. As I said, all my life
I have been set on going to the University of Washington because my
dad attended there and our family has always rooted for the Husky
football team so we practically bleed purple and gold. As a senior in
high school I am currently applying for colleges and after this
experiment I plan on applying to a few that I wasn’t going to before.
