Rapid application development techniques, favoring rapid prototyping over intensive planning, have become popular in the last few years. Although the "old-school" Java Web frameworks (such as Struts and JSF) are well suited for enterprise projects, their development cycle is often too slow and complicated for prototyping. Due to their nature, dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, and Groovy are natural for fast prototyping and scaffolding. But is there a way to benefit the Java ecosystem without compromising simplicity and productivity? This presentation tries to answer this question by comparing, head-to-head, three leading Java RAD tools—SeamForge, Play, and Roo—by writing a full-blown Web application in each of them, comparing the pros and cons along the way.
How is Java / JVM built ? Adopt OpenJDK is your answer !Mani Sarkar
As some of you may already know, starting with Java 7, OpenJDK is the Reference Implementation (RI) to Java. This presentation walks you through just about that and throws light into many areas that are not common knowledge about this subject.
The Spring Data project provides sophisticated support for NoSQL datastores. The MongoDB module consists of a namespace to easily setup MongoDB access, a template class to provide a nice API to persist and query objects as well as sophisticated support to build repositories accessing entities stored in a MongoDB. The talk will introduce the Spring Data MongoDB support.
Finally Java SE 7 is GA and you can start using it. This talk will cover the most important new features of the language and the virtual machine. It will also cover some features that did not make it in to the SE 7 release. Finally we will discuss current state of Java as an ecosystem and my analysis and hopes for the future.

Clojure is a new dialect of LISP that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). As a functional language, it offers great benefits in terms of programmer productivity; as a language that runs on the JVM, it also offers the opportunity to reuse existing Java libraries. Simon’s interest is in using Clojure to build desktop applications with the Java Swing GUI library. In this presentation Simon discusses how the power of Clojure can be applied to Swing, and whether it hits the sweet spot.

With its ninth version, the Java platform has shifted gear and introduced biyearly releases. This was followed by a license change where Oracle, the steward of Java, now publishes a commercial and a non-commercial release of the Java virtual machine while other vendors took more space to promote their alternative builds of the OpenJDK. And in another flood of news, the Java EE specification was terminated and resolved into the Jakarta EE namespace.
A lot has been happening in the traditionally conservative Java ecosystem, to say the least, and many users are wondering if they still can rely on the platform. This talk gives an overview of the Java ecosystem, summarizes the changes that have been, that to expect and why the evolution of the platform is good news to the community.

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.

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.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.
