Big Bird: Privacy Budget Management for W3C's Privacy-Preserving Attribution API
Privacy-preserving advertising APIs like Privacy-Preserving Attribution (PPA) are designed to enhance web privacy while enabling effective ad measurement. PPA offers an alternative to cross-site tracking with encrypted reports governed by differential privacy (DP), but current designs lack a principled approach to privacy budget management, creating uncertainty around critical design decisions. We present Big Bird, a privacy budget manager for PPA that clarifies per-site budget semantics and in…

A Reference Architecture for Gamified Cultural Heritage Applications Leveraging Generative AI and Augmented Reality
The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies is transforming Cultural Heritage access, experience, and preservation. However, many digital heritage applications lack interactivity, personalization, and adaptability, limiting user engagement and educational impact. This short paper presents a reference architecture for gamified cultural heritage applications leveraging generative AI and augmented reality.

Was bisher mangels Bildern bzw wegen spektakulärerer Bilder der russischen Bomberflotte on fire etwas unterging*, auch der Marinestützpunkt von Severomorsk hat seinen Teil abgekriegt.

Warte auf Satellitenbilder.
*Pun not intended but there it is 😁

TESTQUEST: A Web Gamification Tool to Improve Locators and Page Objects Quality
Web applications play a crucial role in our daily lives, making it essential to employ testing methods that ensure their quality. Typically, Web testing automation frameworks rely on locators to interact with the graphical user interface, acting as connection points to the elements on a Web page. Nevertheless, locators are widely recognized as a major vulnerability in Web testing, as they are highly sensitive to the frequent changes in Web page structures caused by rapid software evolution. The…

Denne her laurbærkirsebær ser lidt kedelig ud nu hvor den er afblomstret. Tænkte jeg, indtil jeg så de vilde bier der åbenbart stadig har glæde af de tŸrre blomsterstande - i disse tider er det jo en gave at have bier, så jeg sidder i smiler her på terrassen 😊

We have #baseball tonight. Kind of a weird setup because last night's game was rained out. So, today is two 7 inning games. We arrived to catch the end of one and the beginning of the second.
