This survey article provides a synopsis on some of the engineering problems, technological innovations, robotic development and automation efforts encountered in the mining industry -- particularly in the Pilbara iron-ore region of Western Australia. The goal is to paint the technology landscape and highlight issues relevant to an engineering audience to raise awareness of AI and automation trends in mining. It assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of mining and builds context gradually through focused discussion and short summaries of common open-pit mining operations. The principal activities that take place may be categorized in terms of resource development, mine-, rail- and port operations. From mineral exploration to ore shipment, there are roughly nine steps in between. These include: geological assessment, mine planning and development, production drilling and assaying, blasting and excavation, transportation of ore and waste, crush and screen, stockpile and load-out, rail network distribution, and ore-car dumping. The objective is to briefly describe what each of these processes involves and identify some of the challenges/opportunities from the perspective of a decade-long industry-university R&D collaboration.

This chapter makes needed corrections to an unduly negative scholarly view of Ada Lovelace. Credit between Lovelace and Babbage is not a zero-sum game, where any credit added to Lovelace somehow detracts from Babbage. Ample evidence indicates Babbage and Lovelace each had important contributions to the famous 1843 Sketch of Babbage's Analytical Engine and the accompanying Notes. Further, Lovelace's correspondence with two highly accomplished figures in 19th century mathematics, Charles Babbage and Augustus De Morgan, establish her mathematical background and sophistication. Babbage and Lovelace's treatment of the Bernoulli numbers in Note 'G' spotlights this aspect of their collaboration. Finally, while acknowledging significant definitional problems in calling Lovelace the world's "first computer programmer," I affirm that Lovelace created an elemental sequence of instructions -- that is, an algorithm -- for computing the series of Bernoulli numbers.

To enable quantitative risk assessment of uncontrollable risk states in complex and coupled IoT systems, a new epistemological equation is designed and tested though comparative and empirical analysis. The comparative analysis is conducted on national digital strategies, followed by an empirical analysis of cyber risk assessment approaches. The new epistemological analysis approach enables the assessment of uncontrollable risk states in complex IoT systems, which begin to resemble artificial intelligence, and can be used for a quantitative self-assessment of IoT cyber risk posture.

The future wireless communication system faces the bottleneck of the shortage of traditional spectrum resources and the explosive growth of the demand for wireless services. Millimeter-wave communication with spectral resources has become an effective choice for the next generation of wireless broadband cellular communication. However, the transmission path loss is large and oxygen and water molecules absorb Characteristics such as seriousness have brought great challenges to millimeter wave communication, and it is necessary to seek a technical approach different from low-frequency wireless communication. In the analysis of millimeter wave transmission characteristics After the analysis, the research progress of millimeter wave communication technology and the RF front-end is comprehensively analyzed, and the technology of millimeter wave communication is thoroughly analyzed with technical challenges and proposed corresponding research directions.

It is essential to discuss the role, difficulties, and opportunities concerning people of different gender in the field of software engineering research, education, and industry. Although some literature reviews address software engineering and gender, it is still unclear how research and practices in Asia exist for handling gender aspects in software development and engineering. We conducted a systematic literature review to grasp the comprehensive view of gender research and practices in Asia. We analyzed the 32 identified papers concerning countries and publication years among 463 publications. Researchers and practitioners from various organizations actively work on gender research and practices in some countries, including China, India, and Turkey. We identified topics and classified them into seven categories varying from personal mental health and team building to organization. Future research directions include investigating the synergy between (regional) gender aspects and cultural concerns and considering possible contributions and dependency among different topics to have a solid foundation for accelerating further research and getting actionable practices.

Digital literacy is the skill of finding, evaluating, consuming, and generating information using digital technologies. The study attempted to comprehend university students' digital reading habits and skills. It also provides a glimpse of the pupils' favorite reading materials, including physical and digital sources. We examined BSc and BE Computer Science students of DMI-St. Eugene University, Zambia. The tool was a structured questionnaire that was distributed through WhatsApp. The study's findings revealed that most students thoroughly understand digital tools and how to use them but lack the skills to build their websites and portfolio. Out of 115 students, all agreed they used computers for learning purposes. Usage of digital environments, generally, they used the World Wide Web for searching for information. Additionally, most students have medium digital application skills, despite their preference for reading electronic books. The results indicate that students' gender and level of education had a statistically significant link with their digital literacy, whereas age wasn't shown to be a statistically relevant predictor. The findings show that, in terms of education, especially reading, students' or readers' top priorities are electronic resources; print book preferences are reduced.

Humor is an inherently social phenomenon, with humorous utterances shaped by what is socially and culturally accepted. Understanding humor is an important NLP challenge, with many applications to human-computer interactions. In this work we explore humor in the context of Cards Against Humanity -- a party game where players complete fill-in-the-blank statements using cards that can be offensive or politically incorrect. We introduce a novel dataset of 300,000 online games of Cards Against Humanity, including 785K unique jokes, analyze it and provide insights. We trained machine learning models to predict the winning joke per game, achieving performance twice as good (20%) as random, even without any user information. On the more difficult task of judging novel cards, we see the models' ability to generalize is moderate. Interestingly, we find that our models are primarily focused on punchline card, with the context having little impact. Analyzing feature importance, we observe that short, crude, juvenile punchlines tend to win.

Understanding the landscape of potential harms from algorithmic systems enables practitioners to better anticipate consequences of the systems they build. It also supports the prospect of incorporating controls to help minimize harms that emerge from the interplay of technologies and social and cultural dynamics. A growing body of scholarship has identified a wide range of harms across different algorithmic technologies. However, computing research and practitioners lack a high level and synthesized overview of harms from algorithmic systems arising at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of society. We present an applied taxonomy of sociotechnical harms to support more systematic surfacing of potential harms in algorithmic systems. Based on a scoping review of computing research ($n=172$), we identified five major themes related to sociotechnical harms - representational, allocative, quality-of-service, interpersonal harms, and social system/societal harms - and sub-themes. We describe these categories and conclude with a discussion of challenges and opportunities for future research.

As businesses get more sizable and more mature they now, inevitably accrete more and more software systems. This estate expansion leads not only to greater complexity and expense for the enterprise, but also to fragmentation, inconsistency and siloing of business processes. Because platform rationalisation and system decommissioning never happens spontaneously, a perennial problem for the enterprise then becomes how to simplify their corporate software platforms. Recently, Curlew Research personnel were involved in a software rationalisation program within a large global life sciences company and this paper describes an approach to decommissioning which we developed as part of that project, and which we feel could be of use more widely to help with objective more user-centric system rationalisation. The method derives from a model developed by Noriaki Kano et al to help with determining customer satisfaction and loyalty, and the prioritisation of new, additional functionality, features or "products", for example when looking to enhance software applications. Using a blueprint process for rationalisation, the Curlew-Kano method enables each application to be placed efficiently and objectively into one of four categories - Retain; Review; Remove; Research - thus allowing the enterprise to identify and prioritise quickly those systems which warrant further investigation as part of a decommissioning activity. The key difference of the Curlew-Kano method compared to other application rationalisation methodologies is the fundamental involvement of users in the identification of systems more suitable for rationalisation and possible decommissioning. In our view involving users more fully in system rationalisation leads to better outcomes for the enterprise.
