Usable Security in Practice:
Collaborative Management of
Electronic & Physical Personal
Information
Presenter: Laurian C. Vega (Virginia
Polytechnic Institute)
need exists in HCI to study how issues
A of trust and privacy can and do affect
the ad hoc negotiation of security rules and
how they are managed in actual practice.
For my dissertation I present data from pilot
interviews and observations to examine the
physical and electronic security practices of
childcares and medical offices. I propose to
study the policy breakdowns that affect the
security of personal information.
In the Beginning: The Early Lives of
Users in Online Communities
Presenter: Katherine Panciera (University
of Minnesota)
The most crucial part of a user’s life is the
time between when they first view a
system and twenty-four hours after their first
participation in that system. From that point
on, odds are that their participation will
decline. When designing online communities,
we need to understand this more
deeply. My research also proposes a mixed
methods study of early life user behavior in
Cyclopath, a geowiki for bicyclists.

Building Professional Identity
as Computer Science Teachers:
Supporting Secondary Computer
Science Teachers through Reflection
and Community Building
Presenter: Lijun Ni (Georgia Institute of
Technology)
Currently, we are facing big challenges
of preparing and supporting K-12 CS
teachers. In addition to increasing the
number of CS teachers, there is a great
need of supporting those teachers to grow
and retain as committed, quality teachers.
This thesis work focuses on exploring ways
of supporting CS teachers through understanding
their teacher identity and exploring
ways of supporting identity development
through a professional development program
for CS teachers.

Word Alignment with Parallel Phrases
Presenter: Maria Holmqvist (Linköping
University)
present a method for word alignment
I that uses parallel phrases from manually
word aligned sentence pairs to align words
in new texts. Experiments on an English-
Swedish parallel corpus showed that the
phrase-based method produced word alignments
with high precision. Phrase-based
alignment was compared to statistical word
alignment and it was found that a combination
of phrase-based and statistical word
alignments outperformed pure statistical
alignment in terms of Alignment Error
Rate (AER).
Modeling and Testing of Service-
Oriented Applications
Presenter: Ewa Musial (University at
Albany, State University of New York)
In this paper we present a technique
testing not only services but also their
interactions with execution context. The
technique utilizes a dependence model that
depicts relationships between services,
external resources, and other application
components. Based on this model, we first
associate the specifications with the model
to cover the requirements. Then we use
node and dependence edge coverage criteria
to create additional test cases to achieve
adequate testing.
Assuring Network Service with
Bandwidth and Integrity Based
Fairness
Presenter: Fariba Khan (University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
DDoS attackers take control of large
bandwidth and services that otherwise
would have been lightly used by genuine
users. IBQ and ASV take the power
back from them by taking two different
approaches. In ASV clients use otherwise
underutilized bandwidth. ASV can be implemented,
without the cooperation of the core
routers, by slight modification of the client
and server applications. IBQ introduces a
tiered integrity system and prioritizes high
integrity packets.
