ABSTRACT
This 90-minute session will focus on designing for touch across devices - including hybrids - as well as the challenges and opportunities of responsive content. We will cover how to find a balance between controlling layouts and making your products as responsive as possible. By the end of the session you'll have an understanding of:
- the different ways people physically hold and interact with their devices
- how hybrid devices impact design decisions
- why the mobile context matters and what you need to consider
- how to adapt content to device layout and orientations
- using content as the basis for breakpoints rather than devices
- and a framework to use as the starting point for approaching modular and responsive design from an information architect (IA) and user experience (UX) point of view

Federalismo o Iperlocalismo nelle rifome italiane?Nicola_C_Salerno
Sono passati quasi dodici anni dal D. Lgs. n. 56-2000, il primo atto normativo che ha tentato di reimpostare il finanziamento e la governance della sanità su basi federaliste. Da allora, il Legislatore è intervenuto più volte sul tema, dalla riforma costituzionale del 2001 sino alla Legge n. 42-2009 e alla sua scia attuativa, passando per varie ipotesi di realizzazione del federalismo, alcune rimaste in bozza, altre arenatesi nella discussione parlamentare, una anche respinta con referendum costituzionale nel 2006. Quasi dodici anni di “cantiere” federalista, senza riuscire ad approdare ad un rinnovato modello di governance, completo in tutte le sue parti, economico-finanziarie, istituzionali, di regolazione, di rappresentanza e responsabilizzazione politica.
L’attestazione dell’incapacità a chiudere la trasformazione federalista è arrivata adesso. L’urgenza della crisi ha obbligato a cambiare prospettiva. Da un approccio sistemico e strutturale si è passati, con la spending review “Monti-Giarda”, a focalizzare l’attenzione su poche significative poste di bilancio, fissando per loro dei livelli standard. La ricerca di risparmi rapidi ha reso necessario ripiegare su strumenti di governance già sperimentati in passato, come i target su singole voci di spesa, in contraddizione con tutto il processo legislativo condotto almeno dal 2009 ad oggi, che aveva scelto di impostare la standardizzazione a livello macro e secondo una logica top-down. Il livello macro per lasciare alle Regioni una sufficiente sfera di autonomia organizzativa nell’allocazione delle risorse tra funzioni e capitoli di spesa. La logica top-down per inserire il finanziamento all’interno di un andamenti sostenibili delle finanze pubbliche.
È stata proprio quella sfera di autonomia organizzativa a costituire uno dei punti deboli della via italiana al federalismo. Non perché di principio essa non sia corretta e anzi auspicabile, ma perché è rimasta solo a livello di disegno del meccanismo di finanziamento, e non si è approfondita sul piano operativo, non è stata sorretta da un sufficiente disegno delle Istituzioni e delle relazioni tra livelli di governo e amministrazione.
Utile portare un esempio concreto di questa incompletezza del federalismo che, a fronte di un tentativo di costruire un finanziamento in prospettiva strutturale e sistemica, ha sottovalutato l’esigenza di un parallelo approccio sistemico anche per quanto riguarda lo svolgimento operativo delle varie funzioni (Il famoso “chi fa che cosa?”). Questo punto di debolezza ha sinora esposto al rischio di iperlocalismo, che è una delle degenerazioni del federalismo.
Tempo fa ho ricevuto in CeRM questa mail di una cittadina che mi chiedeva lumi sulla disorganizzazione che pervade i rapporti tra Regioni e tra Regioni e Enti Locali. Suggerisco di leggerla per intero questa mail, perché porta un riscontro concreto della frammentazione e sistemica e delle sovraspese evitabili.

Martin Deinoff, VP Marketing and Business Development & Fredrik Hörnsten, Web Strategist Creuna Sweden
Digital technology is changing the way we live our lives in areas such as banking, entertainment, education and tourism. This technology also has the capacity to transform civic society – including democratic participation, citizen journalism and supporting local communities. National and Local Governments around the world are opening up the data that they hold for reuse by others. The reuse of Open Government Data facilitates transparency, participation, collaboration and economic development.
The aim of Code for Ireland is to bring together people from local communities, software developers and people working in government in order to develop apps and services that solve community problems and also to enable open government. The first Code for Ireland chapter has been established in Dublin and in the coming years additional chapters will be established in other Irish cities and towns.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Introduction:
I'm Lauren and I am the director of research and strategy over at Curio Consulting. We are a market research and strategy firm that helps businesses capitalize on user behaviors, cultural shifts, and competitive intelligence.
As a market researcher I'm less interested in the details about the technology than I am about what people are doing with the technology and how it is effecting individual user behavior and how it is effecting culture on a broader scale.
What I'm going to be presenting will be a lot of charts and graphs, but no matter how numeric and clinical it gets, I'll always try to bring it back to a human scale.
We’re probably all very familiar with the story of how the iPhone came into being and changed everything.
It started with a disastrous partnership between Apple and Motorola which resulted in a mediocre product and the necessary credo that Apple could and should do better.
In 2007 they launched that device and the old guard of mobile device brands have been struggling to deliver a worthy competitor ever since.
With one device, North Americans went from being mobile internet laggards to being super users. It’s amazing what a good UI can do.
Since 2007 we have seen three upgrades to the handset (the 3G, 3Gs, and now the 4) and even more iterations of the operating software.
And even though it may not be a phone, the iPod touch is still a mobile device, and a very widely used one at that.
Now we also have the iPad to consider. A different device, a different user behavior.
Smart phone adoption is on the rise in general, with a quarter of the US population now using phones capable of accessing the mobile web.
But it is the rate of adoption this is the most surprising.
People are buying into and using iPhones and iPod Touch to access the internet at a much higher rate than we started using desktop internet access back in the 90’s.
It’s also at a much higher rate than the Japanese adoption of Docomo mobile internet.
We may have had a late start in using the mobile internet, but we’re catching up fast.
Where is the new growth coming from? Once the low hanging fruit of the Apple enthusiasts have been tapped where do the new users come from?
While we expect people with high household incomes to purchase iPhones, the fact that most of the new growth is coming from people making between $75 and $25K is relatively new. We can probably attribute some of this to the availability of refurbished iPhones and the greater access with AT&T, Apple, and WalMart
The data from the previous slide may be from 2008, but so is the data that we’re looking at here.
It’s interesting to note that the biggest barrier to people purchasing an iPhone is price, but the greatest growth is coming from people in lower income brackets.
So when we think about how people are using their phones to access the mobile internet, we should also be thinking about how people are accessing the internet overall. How many users consider their phone to be their primary internet access device?
So let’s talk about iPhones are effecting the norms of internet consumption.
How many of you know that actual voice driven phone calls are on the decline? People just aren’t going over their allotted minutes anymore.
The phone may be less and less about talking, but it’s still about communicating. Between voice, email, and SMS communicating still takes up about 70% of a person’s time spent using the device.
Also note that iPhone users tend to use their device more overall than the average cell phone user.
iPhone users are simply different. Maybe it’s them. Maybe it’s the device. Most likely, it’s a combination of both.
They use a disproportionate share of the mobile internet.
They are more likely to use their phone to access news and other information (84% vs. 13% all mobile, 58% smartphone).
More likely to use a mobile search engine (59% vs. 6% all mobile, 37% smartphone)
iPhone users are also more likely to download and listen to music on their device than other smartphone users.
They do just about significantly more of everything!

iPhone users are just voracious mobile internet consuming machines!
So now let’s talk about the app market.
Some stats from GigaOm from earlier this year. These numbers have probably changed since then, but they still show how big this market is and some of the generalities still hold true.
The combination of Apple’s iPhone/iTouch hardware, software, distribution, data plans and access, developers, and applications is a tech ecosystem, symbiotic in nature. Each feed and strengthen the other in users and depth of use. It is the fastest growing tech device and ecosystem in history.
This also goes back to a previous slide showing how this Apple mobile ecosystem is outpacing previous internet tech adoptions by leaps and bounds.
The more you build, the more people want to use.
When Apple first opened the App Store in July 2008 sales were brisk, with 300 million apps sold by December of that year.
After the holiday gift season that number had jumped to 500 million22. Earlier in January 2010, Apple announced that sales had reached over 3 billion; that means iPhone users downloaded 2.5 billion apps in 2009 alone.
Estimates from market research analysts show another 16 million apps that could come from other platform's recently opened app stores.
Forecasts for 2010 see only continued growth for the iPhone ecosystem.
Downloads will jump from 3 billion in 2009 to 4.5 billion in 2010 which will generate an estimated $6.8 billion in revenue.
2013 is predicted to be even bigger.
It is estimated that app downloads will grow to 21.6 billion that year for an estimated $29.5 billion in revenue.
Keep in mind that not all of this income will be generated directly from the buying/downloading of these applications.
25% of the app revenue will most likely be generated by free applications that are supported by advertising.
That is over $7 billion.
What are they downloading
Remember what I was saying about how iPhone users do more of just about everything when it comes to the mobile internet?
The same holds true for app downloads as well.
We can break down those numbers specifically by device. Most of the apps are pretty much the same. No surprises or real insights here:
- Entertainment, social networking, utilitarian
Except for Blackberry - ESPN? Where did that come from? Funny how that would be their favorite news source and further entrenches the stereotype of having little imagination.
who are they downloading from
(discuss chart)
There is some debate as to just how large Apple’s application is. Everyone agrees that it is the largest marketplace for applications, but I think most analysts are tied up in the minutia of what qualifies a an app and what qualifies as an application store.
This chart includes carrier app stores which only service feature phones, not smart phones.
I think that Apple has the most users that are willing to pay for apps. These users are usually more sophisticated than the average smartphone user and other app stores are struggling with gaining more of these types of users.
Apple and Android app store customers are also the most satisfied with their experience.
The ipod touch is synonymous with the youth market
Out of the 58 million iPhone and iPod devices circulating in 2009, roughly 40%, or 24 million, were Touches which flooded the market over the Christmas holidays as parents and grandparents gave their little nearest and dearest the gift of mobile technology
And these Touch users are insatiable downloaders
In 2009, app downloads on the iPod Touch screamed past the iPhone for the first time ever, surpassing iPhone downloads by 172%.
On Christmas Day (a Friday), iPod Touch 3G downloads jumped by 900% compared to all of the other Fridays that month.
Total iPod Touch downloads (all generations) jumped by over 1000% on Christmas Day compared to the other Fridays that occurred that month and even after Christmas Day, Touch downloads continued to overshadow iPhone downloads by 104%.
The exception to this rule lies in viewing paid applications only, where 50% of iPhone users download more than one paid application per month while only 40% of iPod Touch users are likely to do the same.
I just love how this chart shows the download cycle for iPod Touches and how it coincides with the regular school year and major holidays
We can’t talk about Apple’s iOS without talking about Android.
We’ve all heard the news that Android is out selling iPhone
Its like talking about the apocalypse - Everything we know has completely changed!!! We’re all going to die! Apple is finished.
Here’s the thing, Android may be outpacing Apple in current sales but that doesn’t mean that Google and Android have over taken the iPhone in market share.
Apple has a huge head start, and it’s going to take a while for Android to catch up.
My prediction is that once Android does catch up we’re going to see a neck-a-neck race for some time to come with no clear dominant device.
Let’s look at it from an actual web consumption base......
The user habits between the two devices are very similar.
It looks like ringtone and wallpaper downloads are the only places where you see significant differences and that’s probably because iPhone users are more empowered to create their own.
But what do people really want? People are generally device loyal, but there are variations in just how device loyal they are.
Apple users have the highest loyalty rates, and it should be no surprise that that also have ridiculously good satisfaction levels as well.
Overall, the iphone is still the most desirable smartphone on the market.
Here is a recent roommate wanted ad from a few months ago on Craigslist.
What can I say about this, except it gives me a pretty good insight into the minds of the people who refuse to buy an iphone and that it makes me laugh:
“Oh, hello. I’m moving to NYC at the end of August, and am looking to sign a one year lease somewhere in Manhattan. The more happening the area, the better.
Other than budget ($1400 or less), I have two criteria:
1) NO iPHONE USERS. I refuse to live with anyone that has sold their immortal soul to Steve Jobs. I don’t care about your app that tells you when you need to water your plants. I don’t care that your phone can function as a Speak N Spell. I don’t care that your phone has a million “exciting” features that exist elsewhere. NO iPHONES. Oh, and probably no iPads either. Upon meeting, you must show me your phone (no scammers! I will be calling it in person to confirm that it is indeed your phone).
2) STARCRAFT 2 experience is a big plus. If you play, please post a link to your battle.net profile. The more experience, the better. No bronze leaguers.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
And this is just for a roommate. Can you imagine what his internet dating profile looks like?
Anyways, even though it doesn’t explicitly say that he’s an android user, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that he’s probably an Android user. He could be packing a blackberry, but I doubt it. I just love how doggedly contrarian he is.
New device. Not a whole lot known about it, but analysts seem very optimistic about its potential.
A reported 2 million iPads were sold worldwide within the first two months.
Almost every new device replace
Apple stands to lose a great deal of iPod Touch sales, but I don’t see that being a huge headache for them.
Companies that make netbooks however, have a lot to worry about. The iPad is a very sexy alternative for low to midrange notebook computers.
Apple is expected to sell 15 million iPads in 2011
Google tablet is expected to arrive at the end of November.
While this looks very promising, keep in mind that total US advertising spending is currently projected at $170 billion for this year.
But this is how internet advertising started - small investments that grew in double digit percentages year over year. We’re bound to see this same behavior in mobile advertising.
I love how iPhone ad spending is in a category by itself.
iAd isn’t your only option and neither is making an app from scratch.
My understanding is the creative advertising timelines and traditional cycles (from conception to execution) are severely hindered because Apple is requiring approval of every ad on its platform and this approval process (as some of you know from your own app development wait times) can take up to ten weeks.
Sometimes simplicity can be more memorable than a super interactive break the bank ad campaign.
Explore you options with other mobile ad servers and see which ones fit your particular needs.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Lasting trends touch a nerve. They counterbalance other movements that have gone too extreme. They satisfy deep rooted desires.
Mobile technology and user sophistication is at the point where we can start thinking not just about mobile technology, but about how that technology can change and serve our self actualization.
Mobile lifestyle technology is about communication, commerce, interpersonal connections, connectivity and security.
It is about having access to your online and offline life at all times.
Mobile commerce is a lifestyle trend that is currently coming into its own right now.
We can use historical trends from desktop internet usage to predict future trends in mobile web usage.
Here we can see that advertising and ecommerce account for a majority of the revenue made from the internet.
Online to offline
Mobile enabled commerce.
Visa is launching a test program for mobile enabled commerce in NYC this September. Giving certain people RFID tags for their phone which can be used at specified vendors equipped with RFID enabled readers.
Peer2peer mobile commerce apps
As mobile phones become more and more ingrained into our daily lives and we become increasingly dependent on them and placing our most personal and sensitive information on them, security will become of greater concern.
Can you imagine losing your mobile phone now? How about a few years from now when all your banking and investment management is done on your phone.
Losing your phone is a part of modern life. It is as common, if not more so as losing your wallet.
How do we prevent this from becoming a tragic personal crisis?
Developers that can find solutions to this problem will do very well for themselves in the near future.
