Dog poop, carrots and a little sunshine: A few steps on the road to sustainab...
This document outlines various sustainable practices that can save money and reduce environmental impact, including composting food scraps and dog poop, using cloth diapers, hanging clothes to dry instead of using a dryer, growing a home garden, choosing more efficient light bulbs, and generating solar or biomass energy. Implementing several of these small actions could result in total estimated yearly savings of over $5,000 as well as reduce carbon footprint. The document encourages inspiring others to make sustainable choices that collectively make a positive difference.
3R's
The document discusses ways to practice the 3 Rs of reduce, reuse, recycle both inside and outside the home. It provides tips for incorporating the 3 Rs in the kitchen, home office, and garage, such as composting organic waste, recycling packaging, buying in bulk, donating unused electronics, opting out of junk mail, and reusing materials. Practicing the 3 Rs helps conserve natural resources, prevents pollution, and ensures future generations can enjoy clean air, water, and natural spaces.
3 R for Sustainable Development
The 3 R's of the environment are reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reduce means to use less and create less waste by conserving resources. Reuse means to extend the life of items by using them again or for a different purpose before throwing them away. Recycle means to convert waste materials into new reusable materials through a process that uses energy. Appropriate technology aims to use resources efficiently and minimize pollution and waste to support sustainable development.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
