Improve Math Skills, Make $$ for your school all in one fun solution!
This document describes a math game called Albert's Insomnia that is designed to help students improve their math fact fluency and automaticity through engaging game play. It discusses how today's students have lower engagement levels in traditional classrooms compared to past generations due to increased access to stimulating technologies and media. Albert's Insomnia aims to generate the high engagement necessary to help automate math facts in students' brains by making practice feel like a fun game. The document provides evidence that schools using the game have seen substantial increases in math proficiency and proposes a contest format modeled on spelling bees to further motivate students and raise funds for schools.
Gaming In Education
The document discusses using gaming in the classroom to enhance learning. It provides examples of how games can be used to teach subjects like history, geography, science, reading, math, and economics. A case study is described where students brought games to an undergraduate seminar class that related to course topics, which strengthened bonds between students and made learning more fun and engaging compared to a traditional classroom. The conclusion is that gaming can actively involve students and excite them about learning, especially as technology and gaming continue to evolve rapidly.

7 Habits For Healthcare Interoperability
This document discusses how to effectively apply Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to lead healthcare interoperability initiatives. It explores each habit and how it can guide organizations to move from dependent interfacing to interdependent collaboration. Habit 1 involves taking a proactive approach to data transformation and monitoring. Habit 2 stresses the importance of envisioning the end goal of interoperability efforts. Habit 3 emphasizes putting patient care first by focusing on integration timelines and costs. Habits 4 through 6 encourage win-win partnerships with other organizations through understanding differing needs and capabilities.
Proposal
The document discusses a proposed framework for migrating domain-specific languages. The framework consists of two components: a UML generator that transforms code into UML diagrams based on mapping rules, and a UML extractor that imports general UML and transforms it into two UML diagrams - plain UML and UML with stereotypes and tagged values. The goal of the framework is to make models more understandable than code and easier to find differences between versions when migrating domain-specific languages.

Secondlife Assignment Reflection
For their Secondlife assignment, students were introduced to the virtual world of Secondlife and shown examples of how realistic and detailed the virtual environment is, including a recreation of Marshall University's campus. Students created their own avatars and were able to freely explore the virtual world using the Secondlife viewer.
In their reflection, one student was initially hesitant about Secondlife but became more interested after seeing the realistic graphics and ability to virtually go anywhere. They felt Secondlife could be used for critical thinking and education by allowing exploration of different places and ideas. However, they would be hesitant to have students create their own accounts due to concerns about unsupervised access, but think censoring options could help address this issue and make Second

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
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.
