Lessons learned in distributed agile engineering on a large scale integration...Georg Öttl
Speeding up the production of software development is a typical request to software development teams. A naive solution to this problem is to simply double the people working in a team to consequently double the output of the team. However, as experience shows, this typically introduces problems like organizational overhead, more communication effort, poor common understanding of coding style and functional requirements, less people with a good overview, poor ramp up and knowledge transfer capabilities. Therefore, we need different, more feasible approaches. In this paper, we describe such approaches, more specifically, we describe how visualizations, communication tools, team size and team staffing influence software development speed. This paper provides hands-on experience on how to reach the goal of delivering working and well-crafted software in time and in a distributed working environment at Infonova. We identified the following key areas for successful scaling and distributing of agile engineering: (1) team organization, (2) infrastructure for distributed development and (3) automatic visualizations and feedback.

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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Core factors for enjoyment in games and
educational games
• Address the player’s need for reasonable parasocial
interaction
• Address the player’s individual preferences and
actual mood
• Address players capabilities

Reasonable parasocial interaction
• Communication preferences are reflected by the
selected game genres
• Provide options to address different communication
preferences for a player
• Adaption to the communication preferences of the
player

Individual preferences and actual mood
• Mood management
• Media experiences are used for regulation of one’s own mood [1][2]
• Mood monitoring
• Communication preferences provide evidence about mood
• Identification of player specific mood preferences

Defining associated logfile parameters
Logfile-Data / Probs (Potential) Meaning/interpretation
Mouse-clicking rate (number of clicks/time unit) Activity of the user: confusion/nervousness vs.
ambition
Frequency of tool-usage (of the different available Activity and direction/purpose of user-behavior
tools)
Frequency help-seeking behaviour Confusion / overload of the learner
Sequencing of material (in relation to the task) Approximation to the solution vs. disorientation
Interaction frequency/rate with NPC or another Affiliation/Intensity of parasocial interaction with an
player NPC / another player: positive (sympathy) vs
negative (aversion)
Length of Interaction: Time spent on interaction with Affiliation/Intensity of parasocial interaction with an
an NPC or another player NPC / another player: positive (sympathy) vs
negative (aversion)
Eye-contact between player’ avatar and the Affiliation/Intensity of parasocial interaction with an
NPC/another player’s avatar NPC / another player: positive (sympathy) vs
negative (aversion)
Number of characters (NPCs and/or other player’s Integration in the (virtual) community/group
avatars) the player is interacting with (Integration-Index)

Pros and Cons of Logfiles
Pros Cons
•Objective measurement of •Too much data /
user behavior information overload
•Does not disrupt gameplay •Ambiguous data without
subjective meaning – hard
•Non reactive method to interpret
without demand effects

Data tracking in Natural Language
• Natural language used in
• Team speak
• Multiparty chat conversations
• Private 1:1 chats
• Connection between the words an individual uses and mind
[3][4] [5]
• Attempt to algorithmically understand the subjective meaning of text with
Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Conclusion
• Multimodal classification of logfiles and NLP will lead
to a more holistic view of the user/player
• Future research on games and game-based learning
might lead to new insight on the association of user-
behaviour and subjective meaning
• A open framework in the sense that other additional
data sources could be incorporated and connected
