SLE/GPCE Keynote: What's the value of an end user? Platforms and Research: Th...Stéphane Ducasse
This talk will present the synergy arising from building platforms on top of which do our research. RMOD our team [1] is developing two platforms: Pharo (a dynamic reflective object-oriented language supporting live programming) and Moose (an open-source software analysis platform [2]). Developing platforms forces us to develop really usable systems. While some activities are more engineering than research per se, it is really interesting to deeply understand problems or impacts of certain design decisions. Developing platforms is rewarding because it is more a long term effort and ensures a degree of stability. Platforms also often exhibit non-linear growth that is really exciting. Finally this setup raises many interesting questions such as “What is the value in terms of citations or published papers of a couple of end-users”, or “Is it not really stupid not to work on latest hype language?” To try to open our minds, I will draw parallels with the notion of wealth of an ecosystem in biology. In the second part of the talk I will present some selected results around Pharo and Moose such as: automatic minimal system core generation, dynamic core updates, selector namespace, dependencies in past commit branches and automatic migration rule generation.

8 better ways of doing your engineering projecttalkingkarthik
Projects during the course of Engineering can be vital in getting an initial breakthrough into the technical industry besides giving a hands on experience with the technology, which is much valued than the theoretical scholarship. The value that a project adds to one's CV can be boosted in a number of ways. Rather than spending the time on projects that are just "exercises", utilizing it to solve some "real world" technical problem will fetch more value, visibility and understanding of the technology. There are several opportunities like contests, internships etc available for the students to contribute their innovative ideas and gain wide recognition. Affiliation of the projects with such well known programs provides important networking and career openings. Students can also get the maximum out of their projects by converting them into publications of reputed conferences. Developing a project into an entrepreneurial venture is becoming a hot trend these days. Backed by many generous grants, this idea can also be an interesting game to try.
This session throws light on some of the most happening opportunities for the Engineering students and the best practices.
We are currently experiencing a great moment in computer history: the transition of digital uses from descriptive (web interface, business intelligence…) to prescriptive (chatbots, voice assistant, Recommendation…). This upheaval is brought about by the revival of Artificial Intelligence techniques (machine learning/deep learning) made possible by the explosion of Artificial Intelligence data. As a result, the development profession will also undergo real changes over the next few years in order to meet new market needs. It is therefore interesting to take an interest in these issues today so as not to be caught short in the near future. This information will help you to navigate the world of Artificial Intelligence concepts, engines, and architectures to allow you demistify all the “myths” around it.

Sharpest tool in the box: Choosing the right authoring tool for your learning...Brightwave Group
From rapid and responsive, to video and cross-browser capability we, as learning professionals, demand great things from the authoring tools available to us. And there are many to choose from.
This session explored the key factors we recommend you consider when choosing an authoring tool. These vary according to environment and culture, to the needs of your learners and the objectives of the learning. Choosing the right authoring tool and ensuring it is based on your needs ensures your learning content is not simply fit for purpose, but meets the aims of your wider learning strategy. With plenty of examples from real courses and solutions, the session covered a list of questions you need to ask, and provided a framework to help guide you through the tool-selection process.
● Great expectations - why the right authoring tool is the foundation of quality learning content.
● Key considerations - the right questions to evaluate the range of tools and make the right decision.
● The future - what can we expect from the next generation of authoring tools?

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

• Academia is the nationally and internationally recognized establishment
of professional scholars and students, usually centered
around collegesand universities, who are engaged in higher education
and research.
6. You need to learn details on the components of the system you are
going to create as a professional, and you also need to learn to
integrate those components as a whole and make sense out of it

18. OSHW Definition
Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can
• study,
• modify,
• distribute,
• make, and
• sell the design or hardware based on that design.
The hardware’s source, the design from which it is made, is available in the preferred format for making
modifications to it.
Ideally, open source hardware uses
• readily-available components and materials,
• standard processes,
• open infrastructure,
• unrestricted content, and
• open-source design tools to maximize the ability of individuals to make and use hardware.
Open source hardware gives people the freedom to control their technology while sharing knowledge
and encouraging commerce through the open exchange of designs.

46. The devil’s in the details
I really got over the “get into details right away” attitude after I took some drawing classes..If
you begin to draw the details right away you can be sure that the drawing is going to
suck….you should begin by getting your proportions right for the whole scene, then you
sketch the largest objects in your scene up to the smallest one. The sketch must be very loose
at this point. Then you can proceed with shading which consists of bringing volume to
life….do it until the volumes are there..work from large to small…always…
