The input layer in Android uses the standard Linux input layer in the kernel to handle raw input from devices like touchscreens and keyboards, it then processes this input through a native library and the Input Manager Service which is started and tied to the Window Manager to dispatch input events to apps. Specific device configuration files and the soft keyboard and input method frameworks handle app-specific input handling and text entry.
While Android’s use in mobile and embedded systems is now common, details about how to debug and develop in its internals are still hard to come by. This session will cover the tools, techniques and hacks that developers can use to debug difficult problems within the Android stack.

> Better product field trial experience due to regular
> Deploy problematic states for engineering analysis and
debugging transparently
> Q&A stress test purpose
Presentation at Android Builders Summit 2012.
Based on the experience of working with ODM companies and SoC vendors, this session would discuss how to figure out the performance hotspot of certain Android devices and then improve in various areas including graphics and boot time. This session consists of the detailed components which seem to be independent from each other in traditional view. However, the situation changes a lot in Android system view since everything is coupled in a mass. Three frequently mentioned items in Android engineering are selected as the entry points: 2D/3D graphics, runtime, and boot time. Audience: Developers who work on Android system integration and platform enablement.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

24. 3.9. Walkthrough
● Activity Manager relies on Activity Thread
● AT calls on attach() and makeVisible()
● makeVisible does wm.addView()
● wm.addView() - this also called by StatusBar to display itself
● Creates a new ViewRootImpl
● Call on its setView()
● setView() calls on mWindowSession.addToDisplay(...)
● This results in call to WM's addWindow()
● ViewRootImpl's performTraversals()
● Calls on relayoutWindow()
● Calls to WM session's relayout()
● Call to WM's relayoutWindow()
● Call to createSurfaceLocked()
● new Surface(...)
