Saira Naheed presents the idea of creating a community to perform duties for Allah (SWT). Members would each contribute according to their abilities and resources. Duties would include arranging skits about lectures, informing people about lecture schedules, collecting charity money monthly to donate, and sharing what they learn with others and bringing them to lectures. The goal is for members to find peace and happiness while doing important work in groups for Allah (SWT) and their community. Suggestions from members are welcome to improve the community.
The document discusses the backchannel and its role in communication alongside live spoken remarks. Some key points:

Alliance governance: Balancing Trust and Control in Dealing with RiskAlex Todd
Every alliance requires that at the outset there are ways and means to establish sufficient trust for the parties to share information fully and to make timely decisions regarding joint investments and activities. Additionally, there are always times during the life cycle of an alliance when trust is challenged (key people change, surprises happen, partners become complacent and let communications lapse, etc.). So how do alliance managers develop and preserve a sufficient level of trust and deal with situations where trust erodes and needs to be shored up again?
When designing an alliance governance structure, managers have to choose between approaches based on control or on trust. This presentations proposes a framework to help managers decide which of the two is appropriate in a particular situation. Are control and trust substitutes or complements? What is the link between control, trust and risk? Our approach proposes that whether control and trust are substitutes or complements depends on the level and type of risk an alliance faces. In high risk situations companies use complex combinations of control and trust in a complementary way.

Getting Digital Introduction Keynote: Kyle MacRaeHannah Rudman
We’ve all learned by now – or certainly should have - that communication is a two-way street. The former audience is
no longer content to passively absorb your stuff; instead, people want to interact, have their say, be involved. And so
it’s almost a knee-jerk reaction to include ‘user-generated content’ when developing a project.
But is it always appropriate? Is UGC means to an end or an end in itself? Perhaps it’s time for a reality check.
If and when it IS smart to incorporate UGC in the mix, what are the best tools, how do you best use them, and how
do you balance the integrity of your projects when everybody’s a participant and a critic?

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

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.

“An Outlook of the Ongoing and Future Relationship between Blockchain Technologies and Process-aware Information Systems.” Invited talk at the joint workshop on Blockchain for Information Systems (BC4IS) and Blockchain for Trusted Data Sharing (B4TDS), co-located with with the 36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 3 June 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
Digital Geography, topography, history, culture, Three fields – anywhere, anyone, anytime. Exist for and by people.
Community – NING. Exist before website. Nearly 3,000 members. Audiences and artists. Debate, promote work. Plan 1 st year programme. Where, what, when? Connect with us and theatre ecology of wales Runs itself. Community (behaviour) OWNERSHIP
Online launch – bonfire night 2009 Rather than big event, have everyone attend. PLUS LIVE experience. Party and cake in partner venues. The Beach artists in cyberspace.
3 new emerging artists – Bethan Marlow, Rhiannon Cousins & Carl Morris (what they do) Interactive pervasive gaming with Hide & Seek – missing generation On a beach (chalenges) Community – Curtain Twitchers Stories from local environment – inspired – heart. Sold out. Largely new audiences. (most of our shows)
Adventure began on FB. Online, before casting. Writers ran FB page. Audience backstory and engage.Be part of it. No longer centre v periphery. Take people on journey.
Daily video diaries – posted on FB page through You Tube. Back story – extra investment. For those who couldn’t attend. Feed into LIVE experience. Based on our experience. (young people leaving)
Embedded into community – oneminutewith – backstage creatives, TEAM. Time / process – not give anything away and encourage more to get involved. Want more – SHARE PRACTICE – SIMULCAST OF WEATHER FACTORY (9 th show) – people wanted to go more after seeing the simulcast – not true that it “gives too much away” Writing on sand – message home –low tech Photo TJ takes at end – put on community, people could download and print off (nod to beach family fun)
Website – nationaltheatrewales.org So people can go on, see all our past present and future work. Archive. Links to videos / electronic programmes.
Examples of other shows – Good Night out in the Valleys. More traditional play – still had digital elements – about connecting with people Live workshops – what is a good night out in the valleys and what stories do you think should be told Also online through community – gather stories and connect across valleys.
Boyd’s Blog – how encourage artists and community to use it in their own voice. Helps give backstage life, bring it alive.
Outdoors – will run every Tuesday for a year – so you can still experience a National Theatre Wales show. 1 st UK commission of Rimini Protokol, experts in real life theatre. Live experience overlaps with a digital walk through Aberystwyth on ipods.
Love Steals Us From Loneliness – new writing commission – Gary Owen. OUR BRIDGEND – active, live website where locals (particularly young people) eengaged with the work and their town – provide a space for their own voice to counteract media representation of Bridgend suicides)
TEAM – flipcam videos. Capture feedback from audiences and put on community.Central to our work. Groups stay in contact online through community. Then set up real world meetings, influence future programming etc. No outreach department, central to all our work.
Assembly – work with local people to debate and creatively respond to a local issue parallel with production. Online element, collect stories.
Twitter – personal accounts and main ntwtweets account. Show process, how we work, how the organisation operates. It’s a conversation, long term investment in people. Followers start marketing for you, don’t think of it as a marketing tool! Build a community through chat. Artists can pitch and get in touch. Our followers have tripled from 300 to over 1,000 in last couple of months because of chatty tone and creative content. EG anything from local knowledge (where to eat) to creative projects.
Photo taken from 10 th show The Soul Exchange. Community exist online, digitally and that’s reflected in real world.Reinforce community and ownership of the work and the community (people tag themselves). Online facilitates and enables greater and more indepth, meaningful real world connections. We still travel about meeting people. MY OWN EXPERIENCE – not technical, interested in people, community and real, proper engagement. Anyone can do it. Knowing how a technology works isn’timportant bit. Need to know how to build it into your culture, making it work for you and above all the audience. What is theatre without an audience – online or in the real world?
