Paradise Lost and The Right to Read is the Right to Minepetermurrayrust
Presented to UIUC CIRSS seminars to a mixed group of Library, CS, domain scientists with a great contingent of Early Career Researchers. Starts by honouring the creation of the wonderful NCSA Mosaic at UIUC in 1993 and the paradise of knowledge and community it opened. Then shows the gradual and tragic decline of the web into a megacorporate neocolonialist empire, where knowledge is sacrificed for money and power.
You have seen many of the slides before but the words are different and have been recorded.
ContentMining (aka Text and Data Mining TDM) is beneficial, legal in the UK and a few other countries. Many groups in Europe are looking to make it legal there as well but there are many vested interests who oppose it.
This short presentation shows the benefits of content mining, some of the technology, and the way that it can be used and promotedby communities of practice. I urge all attendees at CopyCamp and also the wider world to press for liberalization of Copyright

Trust threads: Provenance for Data Reuse in Long Tail ScienceBeth Plale
Invited Colloquium talk, Apr 23, 2015, Dept of Information and Library Science, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University. Abstract: The world contains a vast amount of digital information which grows vaster ever more rapidly. This makes it possible to do many things on an unprecedented scale: spot social trends, prevent diseases, increase fresh water supplies, accelerate innovation, and so on. As science and technology innovation is essential to improved public health and welfare, the growing sources of data can unlock more secrets. But the rapid growth of data makes accountability and transparency of research increasingly difficult. Data that are not adequately described are not useable except within the research lab that produced it. Data that are intentionally or unintentionally inaccessible or difficult to access and verify are not available to contribute to new forms of research. In this talk I show that data can carry with it thin threads of information that connect it to both its past and its future, forming its lineage particularly as it transitions into a shareable dataset residing in a public repository. In carrying this minimal provenance, the data becomes more trustworthy. This thread of trust is a critical element to the successful sharing, use, and reuse of big data in science and technology research in the future.

In the Age of Open Information - Do-It-Yourself Analytical Mashups on Schema-...MaikThiele
The increasing amount and variety of open and crowdsourced data available in the web leads to new challenges in end-user focused data analysis. This data is characterized by a great structural diversity which causes serious problems regarding their integration. On the other site there is a lack of end-user friendly tools to make productive use of the data available on the web. We want to address the first problem by developing a schema-optional graph-based data model that enables incremental schema augmentation and evolution. The second problem should be adressed by a multi-layered domain-specific language for data mashup construction on schema-optional data.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
Data Science: History repeated? – The heritage of the Free and Open Source GI...Peter Löwe
Data Science is described as the process of knowledge extraction from large data sets by means of scientific
methods. The discipline draws heavily from techniques and theories from many fields, which are jointly used to
furthermore develop information retrieval on structured or unstructured very large datasets. While the term Data
Science was already coined in 1960, the current perception of this field places is still in the first section of the hype cycle according to Gartner, being well en route from the technology trigger stage to the peak of inflated
expectations.
In our view the future development of Data Science could benefit from the analysis of experiences from
related evolutionary processes. One predecessor is the area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The
intrinsic scope of GIS is the integration and storage of spatial information from often heterogeneous sources, data
analysis, sharing of reconstructed or aggregated results in visual form or via data transfer. GIS is successfully
applied to process and analyse spatially referenced content in a wide and still expanding range of science
areas, spanning from human and social sciences like archeology, politics and architecture to environmental and
geoscientific applications, even including planetology.
This paper presents proven patterns for innovation and organisation derived from the evolution of GIS,
which can be ported to Data Science. Within the GIS landscape, three strategic interacting tiers can be denoted: i) Standardisation, ii) applications based on closed-source software, without the option of access to and analysis of the implemented algorithms, and iii) Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) based on freely accessible program code enabling analysis, education and ,improvement by everyone. This paper focuses on patterns gained from the synthesis of three decades of FOSS development. We identified best-practices which evolved from long term FOSS projects, describe the role of community-driven global umbrella organisations such as OSGeo, as well as the standardization of innovative services. The main driver is the acknowledgement of a meritocratic attitude.
These patterns follow evolutionary processes of establishing and maintaining a web-based democratic culture
spawning new kinds of communication and projects. This culture transcends the established compartmentation and
stratification of science by creating mutual benefits for the participants, irrespective of their respective research
interest and standing. Adopting these best practices will enable

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.

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.

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.
