Accelerated learning can be attained through a process called meta-learning; or learning how to learn. We as humans seem to think that we have a very limited brain, with a limited capacity to store new knowledge — we are under the notion that, in order to retain something new, we must let go of something old.

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!

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.
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Editor's Notes
Welcome to BRAINY STUFF! This slide show is based on the powerful research of Dr. John Ratey of Harvard. More detail can be found in his book, SPARK.
For Teachers and Students who may be teaching this slide show to others: Introduce the HEART, the Neurotransmitter and the happy brain. You can give them names if you’d like. You may want to have a worksheet with their pictures so that a younger audience can label and color as you talk. You don’t need to tell much about these right now, they become part of the story later.
Have your audience tell you what they know about the heart. Have them feel for their pulse either at the jaw line or on their wrist. Now have them stand up and jump up and down a few times to feel how movement changes the way the heart behaves.
We like to call this Nancy the Neuron When there is a name that starts with the same letter as the item we are trying to learn, it makes it a little easier. We can remember Nancy as a clue.
Talk a bit about what your audience knows about the brain already. Most talk about thinking and learning, memorizing and imagining.
Ask why we named the children Brian and Brianna. Talk about how the words are spelled. Your audience may want to talk a bit about how close the spelling is to BRAIN.
Simply read this slide
Ask for comments and ideas from the audience. Write them down if you have a flip chart, white or Smart board.
Look at the picture of the girl on the right. What does she bring to school in addition to a brain? Your audience may say books, back pack…lead them to the next slide without any other hints We want to start thinking about the entire person (arms, legs, heart,. Muscles, lungs)
These children are moving, so it will be easier for your audience to think of arms, legs, heart, lungs, muscles now. Talk about the connection between the brain and the body – thinking, planning, playing, sports, seeing, muscle and movement.
Most people don’t have any idea right now. Some may think of the heart pumping blood and blood going to the brain. That would be great to have in the discussion right now – IF it comes up naturally. Otherwise, write down some of the comments and move to the next slide.
Simply read this slide. What is BFF? (Best friends forever) Write any comments and move to next slide
Read the slide and ask for discussion. As your audience adds comments you may want to write them on a flip chart or a white board. If you have already started ExerLearning and are practicing FootGaming, there could be great discussion.
Be sure everyone has a plain sheet of paper and something to write with. Have them draw the stick figure shown on the slide. Talk about arms, legs, - the whole body. A person is not just a head and a brain coming to school.
Actually have the audience do this – yes everyone!!!
Have everyone draw a set of lungs in their picture
Draw a heart
Talk about what is going on. Talk about oxygen in the blood feeding muscles. 20% of all the oxygen used by the body is used by the brain. Be sure everyone knows what a LOT of oxygen that is. Talk about the size of the whole body and all of its muscles and the fact that 20% is a LOT! Talk about how we feel when we don’t have enough oxygen moving about in our bodies. Why do we feel energized after recess? Why do we yawn after we have been sitting for a long time?
Talk about the fact that there is a lot of good things for the brain mixed into the blood along with oxygen. Have the class match their picture to the one in the slide.
Simply read the slide – Are there any questions from the audience?
Comments from your audience? Talk about 20% (5 fingers, one finger is 20%) When you work out you breathe hard – your MUSCLES scream for oxygen. Your brain is more quiet about it. When it needs oxygen you feel sleepy or have trouble concentrating.
Read the slide
Read the slide
This is really important. Most of the time no one connects a pumping heart and improved learning. Ask your audience why this might be an important fact. Why would we exercise BEFORE we do our class work and learning? The BEFORE an assignment exercise session is key to Exerlearning. Be sure everyone gets this important point.
Simply read the slide
There she is, there’s Nancy the Neuron
Read the slide – questions or comments from the group? Ask the group – what is 2 + 2? When they answer, talk about how easy that was. They have created a path between that question and the answer. The neurotransmitter helps them grab the information and communicate it. Ask a few more easy questions- suggest that each fact has a neurotransmitter path.
The more you want to learn the more paths you need: You learn skills, information, puzzles, visual clues and more. Have your audience talk about things that were really hard to learn but now they are easy (like tying a shoe, learning to read).
Exercise sort of re-boots the brain. There is more neurotransmitter activity in the brains of fit kids. This means more are being used for learning and thinking and life. When you exercise, more of your brain cells are being called upon to learn, and solve problems. Better fitness equals better attention and, thus, better results.
Talk about hard exercise: If a person was running a mile could they learn 12 X 14 or what is the meaning of “lactic acid?” No, ask the group what they think about when they are doing something like running a mile: comments. Talk about AFTER they are done exercising and have had some water and are now at their desk ready to learn. Talk about all the things the blood pumped from the exercising heart has brought to the brain.
Gather comments from the group. Talk about the fact that probably no one in the school could identify that part of the brain and name it right now. But it is very important to the learning process. Name the animal on the left
Talk about the memory trick – it is a way to help us remember new words that we don’t use very often
Talk about the word “campus”
Have the group say the words and write each word down
Read the slide – gather comments
Read the slide and gather comments
Talk about using something like the dance mats in the classroom. SOMETIMES it is okay to use the dance mats as a reward for fun AFTER class work and learning is done – but when is the BEST time to use the dance mats and get your heart pumping? Why? This is a key point and is probably the most important take-away idea in the presentation. Reinforce it the best you can.

Talk about the BDNF – it is teeeny tiny! It arrives in the brain from the blood.
Read the slide
After you read the slide, put your finger under each first letter in the words, “Brains Don’t Need Fertilizer.” That is a memory trick to remember BDNF – have the audience say it a few times. Talk about how BDNF works for the brain the way fertilizer works for plants. Hammer home that point.
Read the slide and talk about the picture – or have your audience comment on it
Read the slide and ask for comments. Physical activity is the best way to create more BDNF in the brain. (Take away concept)
Gather comments and write responses down . Compare to what the class suggested earlier
Gather comments and write responses down. Compare to original comments
