Priority Based Budgeting - How to respond to Downturn and AusterityMalcolm Anthony
Priority Based Budgeting [PBB] is a robust, participative process that enables organisations to achieve a balanced financial plan, even in the most challenging environments.
PBB has been helping organisations achieve challenging financial and operational goals for over thirty years. Unsurprisingly it has seen a significant resurgence in interest and uptake since 2008 as organisations, around the world, have sought to manage the implications of downturn and fiscal austerity.
PBB teaches managers, at all levels in an organisation, to manage their own destiny and deliver change that they and their teams truly believe in. Change which also, collectively, results in the achievement of the organisations wider goals.

6 I need the overall earned value analysis. (That is, "overall" indicates do it once for the project as a whole, not for each individual task. Though doing it for each task would be acceptable if MSP does it for you, only the overall whole-project earned value calculations are indicated for this assignment. Do not do individual task calculations of EV by hand.) You may use MS Project to do so, if you can, or you can do it yourself with a pocket calculator or (probably better yet) do it yourself in Excel; you can use the formulas on the Gold Card or the formulas in my weekly Commentary, or the formulas in the textbook. Any way, you do it, you will get most of the data from your MSP .mpp, then plug it into the formulas.
The goal is to come up with EAC and Estimated Cost to Complete (ECTC), but you'll need to calculate the rest in order to get there, therefore please calculate and submit the following figures. They need not be in a MS Word attachment, but may be answered directly in your Assignments Folder posting, as you wish.
As in a math class, show your work, i.e., show your formulas, input data, and calculations as well as your results.
Include at least the following EV figures (you may include more if you wish):
· Original Budget at Completion (BAC) (baselined)
· New Estimate at Completion (EAC) (changed)
· New Estimated Cost to Complete (ECTC) (changed)
· Original Planned Value (PV, BCWS) (baselined)
· Actual Cost so far (AC, ACWP) (changed)
· Earned Value so far (EV, BCWP)
· Schedule Variance (SV)
· Cost Variance (CV)
· Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
· Cost Performance Index (CPI)

1. Executive Summary
The team was tasked with expanding the dental practice of Marley Dental Clinic, an established dentist in a non-computerized office into a digitized, computer centric office with a management system where they will be able to view appointment schedule, x-ray, face images and other imaging applications as well as videos and scanned images, intraoral cameras and web technologies. It is important to consider how changes will be handled as they occur.
Changes within the project are probable, and the goal of this change management plan is to manage them in a way that creates the smallest ripple effect possible while still meeting project goals. Change procedures will be performed through Microsoft Project Server. In general, requests will be submitted by the individual teams based on incidents, assigned work, or special request, as dictated by the situation, and annotated in the ticket.
Each team manager will then review and approve or reject the change request. If approved, the request will be allocated hours and funding from the team’s core budget, and afforded a special budget if necessary. Once complete and implemented, the change will be closed, and the totals for man hours and budget will be quantified and listed for review by the higher management teams.

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.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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:

19. Benefits Available for Affected Employees Incentive Package under Executive Order No. 366: For the purpose of computing the total amount of incentive that an affected personnel would receive, only his/her government service up to age 59 and a fraction thereof would be counted. Thus, government service starting at the age of 60 would no longer be subject to the incentive to be provided under the Program. Basic monthly salary shall be based on amount as of June 30, 2007, prior to the ten percent (10%) increase.
20. Benefits Available for Affected Employees Incentive Package under Executive Order No. 366: I = IF x BMS x Y Where: I =Incentive IF =Incentive factor of 0.50 mo./y, 0.75 mo./y, or 1.00 mo./y, as the case may be BMS =Present basic monthly salary of the employee Y =Length of government service in years, months and days converted in years
21. Benefits Available for Affected Employees The retirement/separation package would be available as soon as an affected employee decides to retire/be separated. However, it would still be available up to two (2) months after the DBM’s approval of the Rationalization Plan. Incentives would be given on a one-time basis but benefits under existing retirement/separation laws would follow the provisions of the specific applicable laws. The DBM will provide a “seed fund” to departments/agencies upon submission to the DBM of their respective Rationalization Plans containing the list of personnel opting to retire/be separated with the computation of the incentives that they are entitled to receive.
