Even though Information technology (IT) assimilation and diffusion has been widely studied most of this type of research has been conducted from within a limited set of perspectives and from within a dominant paradigm. This research proposal is a response to calls to go beyond the dominant paradigm as well as a response to growing calls for more: use of pragmatism as a philosophical foundation for IS research; more use of mixed methods research grounded in a single appropriate philosophical paradigm; as well as calls for the employment of the methods of complexity science in IS research. Unified communications (UC) was chosen as an exemplar of a complex socio-technical innovation. It is proposed to use a combination of theoretical perspectives as lenses to understand the underlying causes enabling the adoption of UC in organisations in South Africa. It is expected that causes described in social contagion theory such as the institutional perspective, management fashion theory, efficient choice perspectives, as well as organisational innovativeness and possibly other specific South African pressures could influence organisational predisposition to adopt UC technology. A longitudinal study using a mixed methods approach will be undertaken from a pragmatist epistemological position. Pragmatism was chosen as a research paradigm because it supports the use of a mix of different research methods as well as modes of analysis and a continuous cycle of abductive reasoning while being guided primarily by the researcher’s desire to produce socially useful knowledge. The locus of adoption that will be studied will be organisational level adoption. Complexity science and agent-based modelling was chosen because real-world organisational adoption has been shown to be both highly complex and too slow to develop to be analysed using more traditional IS research methods. An agent-based model will be iteratively developed using aspects of complexity science as a guide to assist with explanation and prediction of organisational adoption intentions

A keynote presentation for the Online Teaching Pathways for Early-Career Criminologists & Sociologists
by University of Glasgow, Hong Kong University, U21.
Abstract: We have all had to pivot rapidly from teaching face-to face to teaching fully online and have learned many lessons along the way, in a particularly short space of time. In many cases, if our IT groups and vendors had not equally risen to the occasion this would not have been possible. However, what has been observed is that those who have fared better over these recent months have been those institutions with well-established frameworks in place to mediate their technology-enhanced learning (TEL). That is, they have recognised processes that define how they translate what is in policy, procedures and planning into practice with appropriate IT scaffolding. Such a framework can be found within a number of TEL quality tools, that are designed to provide an institution with clear guidelines as to what things need to be in place to facilitate a robust and consistent approach to teaching with technology. Once these things are in place it makes it possible to undertake online teaching that does more than just mimic face-to-face practice, but actually provide a the foundation for innovative pedagogies to thrive. One concept associated with this is the notion that students can be productive and typically, this means the TEL has, or can become far more, active, authentic and collaborative.

This document discusses how open courseware and open sharing of educational resources can help universities advance their missions and connect with institutional goals. It notes that open courseware allows universities to increase their reach by empowering more people with access to education materials. It also provides examples of how open courseware can help with recruitment by building awareness of programs prior to enrollment, help with reputation by showcasing areas of excellence, help with retention by allowing students to better prepare for courses, and help with advising, evaluation and recommendations by providing concrete information about course content and requirements.
- OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a collection of high-quality educational materials from universities made freely available online for anyone to use. OCW is not a distance learning program and does not offer degrees or credits.
- The OpenCourseWare Consortium (OCWC) is a collaboration between universities to advance open education worldwide by sharing open educational resources, tools, models, and best practices.
- The OCWC helps members through an expert community, conferences, technical recommendations, and collaborative tools to ensure continuity as technologies change.
The document discusses considerations for starting an OpenCourseWare (OCW) project at an institution.

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.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
