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:

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.

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).

Speech
Have you ever looked at a logo to a company and wondered, “How in the world
did they come up with that?” As I grew up, I was always found myself starting off
sentences mostly with “Why? What? When? Where? And How?” I always needed to
know the background and details of each little thing. This is how I knew I wanted to have
a career in science in when I was older. In sixth grade, I won a contest on designing and
creating our own candy bar. I made the name, logo, and ingredients. This is when I
discovered I actually have a creative side. These two critical moments helped lead to the
deciding idea for my project. All through out high school I was asked that dreaded
question, “What are you going to be when you grow up?” It was my senior year, in my
psychology class, that I came to the conclusion that I wanted to work in the field of
psychology. Therefore, I decided to learn more about the field and do my senior project
on psychology. I did an experiment to determine what color is most appealing, at first
glance. Psychology is highly based on scientific experiments. Many people don’t realize
that psychology isn’t just about going deep inside your brain and learning about your
dreams. Psychologists actually have to conduct experiments in order to find the results
they’re looking for. Outside of the experiments, psychology can deal with counseling and
putting the psychologist results to reality.
2. Now I’m going to proceed to tell you about the process I went through in
conducting my experiments and finding results. My project facilitator is Stan Hunsucker.
I was looking for someone who knows a lot about psychology and can inform me with
any questions I might have. I had his psychology class first semester. I had no idea what I
wanted to do my senior project on, until I took Mr. Hunsucker’s class. Along with many
of my peers, I began to learn what psychology was really about. I can be honest and say I
was also unaware that psychology was based solely on experiments. We need many
experiments similar to this one in the class. By having an experience like this, I was well
aware of the preparation of this project. Mr. Hunsucker has been teaching psychology for
many years. Furthermore, by using my in class knowledge, I went through the scientific
method in order to develop the results. With my results, I will do what many psychologist
do with there results, put them to use. I will make a logo for a teacher’s cake decorating
company that she does outside teaching, as my product.
Therefore, along with my facilitator, I developed step by step how I was going to
conduct my experiment, then perform my experiment. I started by performing the first
step in the method, a hypothesis. My hypothesis was, “Will the color people choose,
really be the most noticed color in the end?” Then, my project facilitator and I,
researched information that other psychologist had develop with their experiments. We
did not look for an experiment like mine, but it was good to know some other information
found on colors. Next, I conducted my experiment at a local grocery store. I made a
poster board that had a question at the top that said in brief, understanding words, “Which
color?” I asked the participants in a more detailed form, “At first glance, which color
stands out to you, in a more appealing way?” In the end, with my results, I made a logo
3. for the cake decorating company “Sweet Cheeks.” As my results, I discovered that Blue
and Red were blatantly the winners. Both colors stayed close to the same amount each,
throughout the experiment.
Although, while starting this process, I can be honest and say that I did encounter a
few obstacles along the way. During the fist semester of this year, I was cheering for
football and competition. Like some may know, those are really time consuming sports
and we practice everyday after school. Also, I was working the days that I wasn’t
cheering. Therefore, it was very difficult for me to get going on this project. Luckily, the
second semester, I became a member of the Work Based Learning program. I was leaving
school two hours early to go to work. Although, I do not work every day of the week.
Then, I was able to work on this project the days I wasn’t working. This really enabled
me to have more time during the days to work on this project and focus on other school
work. I was able to meet with my project facilitator after school, also.
With that said, I also learned new things about myself along the way. From this
project, I have learned that I don’t have to be so shy all the time. I learned that when
approaching people, having confidence, as if I am a professional, can make things a lot
easier. Also, I discovered that if a do put my mind to things, I can achieve them. All
throughout high school I procrastinated on everything. I realized that this project is the
real deal and I need to step my game up. When confronting the participants, I had to talk
in a professional manner. I practiced with my parents on the question I would ask and
how I would approach them. This project led me to further my interest in this career field.
It helped me really get a “hands on” feel for the kind of work I could be doing in the
future. After high school, I plan to major in psychology at Georgia Southern University.
4. At Georgia Southern, I can actually work in there psychology building and tend to
students on campus that need therapy. Thank you for your time. Do you have any
questions?
