This document discusses user-centered approaches to e-government services. It provides context on the OECD and its role in addressing challenges from globalization. The document notes that while countries have invested in e-government to improve services, user take-up of services has lagged behind promises. It aims to provide insight into reasons for low user take-up and analyze challenges and approaches to increasing user adoption of e-government services across OECD countries. The document also discusses frameworks for monitoring and evaluating user take-up.

As government and elected officials join social media, they come face to face with citizens who are already there waiting for them. More than ever, social media is proving to be a useful platform for helping politicians connect to constituents, as well as citizens with their elected officials and government agencies. However, sometimes there is a disconnect between the two. Government officials have their agenda, but it isn’t always what people want to hear. On the other hand, constituents have expectations that politicians don’t know.
The government and politicians need to share their personality and promise with citizens, whether they’re constituents or not. The more they use social media to engage and open up authentically, the more trust will be built.
This webinar is an opportunity to explore with our expert panelists:
-How government can change to better relate to digital citizens?
-How government agencies can use social media to provide complementary communication and participation channels for citizens.
-What are the right channels to use to provide public service solutions and services, and interact with and conduct business with citizens.
-How people can use social media to improve how government works for politicians and citizens.
The digitisation of everything and ‘liquid’ citizen expectations are changing the way in which governments interact with their people. Gone are the days of citizens and customers having varying expectations from product and service providers. They are now demanding the best level of customer service, being set by best-of-breed providers, regardless of industry.
We are starting to see a new era of ‘living services’ – an era that sees services constantly learning more about our needs and adapting to make themselves more relevant, engaging and useful. To test this view against government services, we recently interviewed Australian citizens and small business owners to find out what they want from their interactions with government. Four themes stood out that must be addressed by government agencies. Read our SlideShare to find out more.

World trade and production are increasingly structured around “global value chains”
(GVCs). A value chain identifies the full range of activities that firms undertake to bring a
product or a service from its conception to its end use by final consumers. Technological
progress, cost, access to resources and markets and trade policy reforms have facilitated the
geographical fragmentation of production processes across the globe according to the
comparative advantage of the locations. This international fragmentation of production is a powerful source of increased efficiency and firm competitiveness. Today, more than half of world manufactured imports are intermediate goods (primary goods, parts and components,and semi-finished products), and more than 70% of world services imports are intermediate services.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

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.
