(author), Pera, M.S. (author)Web search has evolved into a platform people rely on for opinion formation on debated topics. Yet, pursuing this search intent can carry serious consequences for individuals and society and involves a high risk of biases. We argue that web search can and should empower users to form opinions responsibly and that the information retrieval...conference paper 2024

de Wit, S. (author), Hermans, F.F.J. (author), Specht, M.M. (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)From an early age, girls may opt out of Computer Science (CS) for not fitting the CS stereotypes of being male, asocial and technology-oriented. These stereotypes might be strengthened by children's books on programming, but little is known about this. Therefore, this paper explores the gender, social interactions and interests of characters...conference paper 2024

Nadeem, A. (author)Although many Computer Science (CS) programs offer cybersecurity courses, they are typically optional and placed at the periphery of the program. We advocate to integrate cybersecurity as a crosscutting concept in CS curricula, which is also consistent with latest cybersecurity curricular guidelines, e.g., CSEC2017. We describe our experience...conference paper 2024

Bouros, Panagiotis (author), Titkov, Artur (author), Christodoulou, G.C. (author), Rauch, Christian (author), Mamoulis, Nikos (author)A wide range of applications manage interval data. HINT was recently proposed to hierarchically index intervals in main memory. The index outperforms competitive structures by a wide margin, but under its current setup, HINT is able to service only single query requests. In practice however, real systems receive a large number of queries at...conference paper 2024
