This document discusses diversifying the engineering profession to increase success. It notes that while women make up over half the population, they remain a minority in leadership roles in engineering. It attributes this to discrimination, lack of opportunities, an unwelcoming "boys' club" culture, and family responsibilities hindering career progression. The document advocates understanding diverse market demographics and recruiting from a broader pool to gain different perspectives and visions. It presents a company's vision of being inclusive and respecting all backgrounds. Effective diversity management requires senior leadership commitment, communicating diversity's benefits, and emphasizing unity. Key activities for improvement include creating a female-friendly environment with equal opportunities for training, career progression, and desirable working hours.

Session 4 Benefits and limitations of mentoring programs: AWARD
This document summarizes the key lessons from AWARD's mentoring program for building cultures of inclusion. It finds that commitment from both mentors and fellows is crucial for success. Geographic proximity, while not essential, significantly enhances the mentoring relationship when face-to-face meetings can occur regularly. Personality fit is less important than moderating influences like commitment. Shared research interests are valuable but not required. The mentoring program provides significant benefits to fellows' careers, networks, and motivation, as well as developing mentors' skills and reputation. It contributes to empowering more women in agricultural research and development sectors.

Robert Townsend will speak on the findings of his recent book, History's Babel, which looks back to the early decades of the historical enterprise to show how efforts to professionalize pushed history specialists (in archives, historical societies, and teaching) away from each other. This seminar presentation will offer a wide-ranging discussion of the many different professions of history and what they mean for the discipline.

This document contains data on history PhD programs and career outcomes from 1970-2013. It shows that while the number of history PhDs awarded has increased substantially, academic job openings have remained relatively flat. As a result, fewer than half of new PhDs now enter tenure-track academic jobs. The document also presents data showing the median time spent in history PhD programs has increased in recent years. It analyzes PhD employment outcomes by field of specialization and institution type, finding most history PhDs take jobs outside of academia.

Sandia has developed programs like the Critical Skills Master's Fellowship Program and Science and Engineering Expo to identify and recruit top female and minority bachelor's and graduate students into national security roles. These efforts have helped increase diversity among new hires and retained employees.

Measuring Diversity for Success
Do you know what stage your company’s diversity and inclusion (D&I) program is at and how you can move past your current obstacles toward organizational success?
Through our research on diversity and inclusion, we've discovered that a lack of diversity benchmarks is the leading issue for these programs. Measurement is a critical component to leveraging D&I as a strategic asset. Typically, an organization’s diversity program matures through four different stages of development: ¬ Undeveloped, Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced/Vanguard.
Learn more about how organizations are leveraging measurement to enhance their diversity program and better align with organizational goals.
In this session, attendees will learn:
• To define or better interpret your company’s diversity program
• Identify the challenges to progress and develop an action plan, depending on the stage.
• Different measurement techniques that can help support communication and ROI calculations.

Adapting to Generational Change in the Workplace
“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
– George Orwell
“There is a problem in the workplace, a problem of values, ambitions, views, mind sets, demographics, and generations in conflict. The workplace we inhabit today is awash with the conflicting voices and views of the most age- and value-diverse workforce the world has known” (Zemke, Raines, & Filipczak, 2013, p. 11). At no time in our history have so many and such different generations with such diversity been asked to work together shoulder to shoulder, side-by-side, cubicle-to-cubicle.
Though today it is not unusual for all of the 4 major generations to be working side by side. Each generation has different views on work ethic, and loyalty to the organization and its culture. Understanding the culture of an organization is a very important aspect in the continuity of leadership. Generational differences equate to differences in workplace characteristics and values of employees. Through experience and research, a key element in leading an organization is to understand and accept the values and beliefs of different generational gaps that make up today’s workplace. Not only is this key as a leader, but also it is crucial to the success of the organization. This research is intended to examine the four generations in the workplace, and research different management styles to be an effective leader in an ever-changing environment.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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 Fuzzing
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.
