Gogle lively
Google launched Lively in 2008, a 3D virtual world browser plugin. It aimed to be easy to use, accessible, and fun for all ages through customizable avatars. However, Lively faced limitations like a confusing interface, limited content creation options, only being available on Windows, and not being integrated with other Google services. It also failed to include basic social features like user profiles. While the idea was interesting, Lively was launched before it was fully developed and failed to integrate well with the user's existing online experiences.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

Towards automating accessible ebooks
- 2. Publishing workflow Thank you Brian O’Leary for his talk about “Building a better publishing workflow: Recommendations from the BISG” Production workflow characteristics: • Single-source • Linear • Digital first • Born accessible 2
- 3. One more thing In our language and in traditional publishing we consider a book… • a static (printed) object • whose content and structure are visual That view fails to translate to digital accessible media where we have no control over how a reader (user) reads (consumes) the book (content) 3
- 4. One more thing We need to rethink the “book” • structured content • presentation of that content for different media 4 Content • Semantically structured • Image descriptions • Navigation information Presentation • A static print page • An unknown app/browser/device • An electronic Braille reader • A synthesized voice to read out
- 5. Tools Software tools help me get one thing done • ease or replace tedious/error prone manual work • composeable, integrateable, scaleable • help improve results Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be a useful tool to solve certain problems I believe that production workflows can not be automated completely, but the efficiency of most can be improved greatly 5
- 6. Bookalope A collection of tools for (trade) book production that run in the cloud 6 Single-source Linear Digital first Born accessible
- 9. Summary Title: Towards automating accessible ebooks • Bookalope does the heavy lifting to free up time for the fun stuff • Intelligent tools help to improve efficiency, but won’t replace human creativity and understanding • Fear not automation and AI “Building a better publishing workflow” is doable today 9
- 10. Get in touch, get involved Website, social: https://bookalope.net/ Blogs: https://medium.com/@jens.troeger Github: • Cloud API: https://github.com/jenstroeger/Bookalope • InDesign: https://github.com/jenstroeger/Bookalope-CEP 10
- 11. Thank you! 11
- 12. What if… A bit of daydreaming: what if you could… • fix, update your backlog of invalid, outdated EPUB files easily? • optimize existing EPUB files? • import structured DOCX and EPUB files into InDesign? • build accessible ebooks without writing code? Would that not be worth some effort? 12
- 13. Roadmap Improve precision of semantic structure classification (AI) • Redesign is in progress New EPUB import • Add more support for HTML5 and CSS2/3 Features • Heaps of requests in our Github repo 13
