A student wrote a mystery novel for their senior project and had it published. While they enjoyed writing the novel, the process was difficult and time-consuming. Although they originally thought they may pursue writing or publishing as a career, after completing this project they now want to avoid those fields due to the large workload and long hours required for writing.

Is Continuous Adoption in Software Engineering Achievable and Desirable? Gail Murphy
ICSE 2016 Software Engineering in Practice keynote.
Continuity in software development is all about shortening cycle times. For example, continuous integration shortens the time to integrating changes from multiple developers and continuous delivery shortens the time to get those integrated changes into the hands of users. Although it is now possible to get multiple new versions of complex software systems released per day, it still often takes years, if ever, to get software engineering research results into use by software development teams. What would software engineering research and software engineering development look like if we could shorten the cycle time from taking a research result into practice? What can we learn from how continuity in development is performed to make it possible to achieve continuous adoption of research results? Do we even want to achieve continuous adoption? In this talk, I will explore these questions, drawing from experiences I have gained in helping to take a research idea to market and from insights learned from interviewing industry leaders.

Reformulating Branch Coverage as a Many-Objective Optimization ProblemAnnibale Panichella
Test data generation has been extensively investigated as a search problem, where the search goal is to maximize the number of covered program elements (e.g., branches). Recently, the whole suite approach, which combines the fitness functions of single branches into an aggregate, test suite-level fitness, has been demonstrated to be superior to the traditional single-branch at a time approach. In this paper, we propose to consider branch coverage directly as a many-objective optimization problem, instead of aggregating multiple objectives into a single value, as in the whole suite approach. Since programs may have hundreds of branches (objectives), traditional many-objective algorithms that are designed for numerical optimization problems with less than 15 objectives are not applicable. Hence, we introduce a novel highly scalable many-objective genetic algorithm, called MOSA (Many-Objective Sorting Algorithm), suitably defined for the many-objective branch coverage problem. Results achieved on 64 Java classes indicate that the proposed many-objective algorithm is significantly more effective and more efficient than the whole suite approach. In particular, effectiveness (coverage) was significantly improved in 66% of the subjects and efficiency (search budget consumed) was improved in 62% of the subjects on which effectiveness remains the same.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Judges, Senior Project
Creekview High School

Dear Judges:
Ever since I was young, I absolutely loved mystery and whodunit books. When we first needed to choose
what we wanted for our senior projects, I jumped at the chance to write a mystery book of my own. I’ve
had an incredible amount of fun while writing this book and doing my senior project work. However, it
has also been a very difficult project, due to its length and workload. Nonetheless, I would not have
wanted to do anything else
My end product is my published book, Playback, where private investigator Joseph Barrow hunts down a
criminal ring in his town. It relates to my research paper mainly through the published aspect; my
research paper was about the history of publishing throughout the ages, and its problems and innovations.
Even I had problems while writing my book, as writer’s block was my constant companion while
working. However, I was able to persevere and write the entire book in just a few months. My major
success was having my book published by Yawn’s Books and More, as that was my goal that I wanted to
complete.
My topic and research on writing and publishing relate obviously to a career in book writing or even
reporting. However, now that I have tried this for myself, I am very keen to try to avoid working in that
field. While writing was fun, I could not see myself sitting down for so long nearly twenty-four seven.
The amount of work I had to put into writing my book, which is not a very large book, is also another
reason that I would want to avoid writing. I do not see myself trying to pursue a job in writing or even
reporting now that I have written my very own book.
My thoughts on the Senior Project are surprisingly positive; although I had to take much of my own time
to work on my book; it has provided crucial insight into a career that I thought I might enjoy. Thank you
for taking the time to read this as well eventually judging my Senior Project.
Sincerely,
Tyler W Henry
