EDSIGCON is the annual conference of the Information Systems & Computing Education Special Interest Group.
Robet Siegfried and I were happy to learn that our paper titled A Teaching Case: A Seminar Course in Accessible Computing was accepted for presentation at the conference. The paper has now been published in the conference proceedings and it is also available here.
Rachel Yonkunas of News12 Long Island stopped by my office for a chat about email scams.
Some of the chat was recorded and made it into the news segment.
While none of the points I made were rocket science, it is always fun to be given the opportunity to step out into public view :-)
Also: I’m glad I shaved that day ;)
I was interviewed earlier this week for Newsday, a local Long Island newspaper. The topic of our conversation was increased cyber-attacks against local school districts and the prevalence of ransomware outbreaks.
The articl migh be behind a paywall, but it is here.
SECRYPT 2021 is the 18th International Conference on Security and Cryptography and it took place last week.
Sung Kim and I were happy to learn that our paper titled Supporting Cyber Threat Analysis With Service-Oriented Enterprise was accepted for presentation at the conference. The paper has now been published in the conference proceedings and it is also available here.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was held virtually this year. Our presentation is available on YouTube.
IEEE ICCSE 2021 is the 16th International Conference on Computer Science and Education.
Together with Robert Siegfried, Kathy Herbert, and Jason Siegfried, I co-authored a paper in which we explore trends in the adoption of programming languages for CS1 and CS2 education.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference will be held as a hybrid event. We will participate remotely. Once the paper has been published in the conference proceedings, I will post a link here.
