This document provides an overview of a presentation on using mobile devices for ministry. It discusses embracing new technologies rather than fearing them. Mobile devices can be used as tools for learning, data collection, and collaboration. Examples of apps that could be used for mobile evangelization and catechesis are provided, such as those for video editing, blogging, and photo sharing. Etiquette and competencies around digital citizenship, communication, and mobile ministry are covered. The document examines whether a parish is ready to utilize these technologies and provides examples of how mobile devices can be used for knowledge construction, interviews, and collaborative communication.

Building an Effective School BYOD PlanSam Gliksman
Schools are needing increasing amounts of expensive educational technology at a time when budgets are shrinking. Many have started to explore BYOD policies - Bring Your Own Device - as a practical solution to integrate cost effective technology into their educational programs.
With the convergence of widespread broadband and the growth of powerful, platform independent web based tools BYOD has finally arrived as an effective educational alternative to other plans that require expensive purchasing and maintenance. Viewed within a realistic perspective of both its benefits and limitations BYOD can provide a workable solution for the many schools seeking to upgrade their educational technology.
Social media in virtual mobilities at SMART 2014Diana Andone
Presentation at the International Conference SMART Social Media in Academic Research and Training, 18-20 September 2014, Timisoara
Nowadays the ubiquitous use of online and mobile collaboration tools enables participants in different locations to create knowledge and work together. This paper shares the results of the TalkTech project run in the last 7 years in which first-year introductory technology students from Bentley University in the United States and fourth-year multimedia students from Politehnica University of Timisoara in Romania worked together in an online global educational environment to research technology trends and create multimedia artifacts that shared their findings. Students met with their international partners over a period of four weeks in real time using voice, video, and chat) and asynchronously (via e-mail, forums, blogs, social media) to share their research on these popular technology trends. Based on the virtual mobility concept as „a set of ICT supported activities that realise or facilitate international, collaborative experiences in a context of teaching and/or learning“, the TalkTech project simulated the real-life work environment from a modern, global ICT company and encouraged students to use, in every year, more then 15 different web 2.0 or social media tools to accomplish the tasks. Students’ interaction on different social media and the importance of these interactions are analysed in this paper.
The Objective of the Industry Report was :-
To increase the overall knowledge base about the Social and Digital Media Industry.
To understand the strategies adopted by the companies to increase their presence and revenue as a whole.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
4. • Embrace and acknowledge new technologies, rather than
ignore or fear the new literacy. (Mobile Evangelization and
Catechesis)
• Promote digital etiquette through the use of the cell
phone/tablet for learning and ministry opportunities.
(Digital Citizenship)
• Find useful ways to integrate these mobile devices as
knowledge construction, data collection, and collaborative
communication tools into faith learning. (Collaborative
Disciple)
• Demonstrate how mobile app tools may be used to create
learning experiences that can be easily uploaded to
Facebook, shared via Twitter, and/or added to a website.
