Nokia Theme API and Webview API are new additions in Nokia Asha SDK 1.2. The Theme API enables developers to change themes and to access the properties of a current theme. The Webview API is used to display web pages inside a MIDlet, enabling delivery of more-sophisticated Help, About, and other screens to users. In addition, Nokia Asha SDK 1.2 contains updates to the Contact API that allow MIDlets to receive notifications with social contacts in the phonebook are added, deleted, or modified. Pranav Gothadiya, lead developer and product owner for Nokia Asha SDKs, starts this training webinar with an overview of new and updated features in Nokia Asha SDK 1.2 and the new Nokia Asha software platform 1.4. Pranav then demonstrates code examples included in the SDK to illustrate the new Theme and Webview APIs. He also touches on the (Social) Contact API, as well as on SDK features that enable developers to support frame-positioning control and progressive audio recording.

Understanding Internet of Things - White Paper on Device ChoicesDavid J Rosenthal
As stated in the press, at conferences, and in publications , the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a huge opportunity across industries and customer segments. The paper “Building the Internet of Things”, which is available at http://aka.ms/iotwhitepaper discussed a broad set of topics associated with building IoT solutions. This paper is a follow on to that earlier paper and focuses on the "things" within IoT solutions.
First, it explains the concept of smart objects that contain devices, sensors and actuators, the combination of which will gather, process, send and receive data. Smart objects may or may not interact with a local gateway, which is sometimes used to provide external communication capabilities or provide local processing.
This paper also explains the set of considerations for device capabilities, and how they affect an overall solution. These considerations include cost, communications requirements, power availability, security requirements, and compute capacity. Next, it explains the options for device connectivity and the implications of choosing between common options.
Security in the IoT is critical, and a failure to consider security early in IoT design can lead to unfortunate and even catastrophic hacks that often end up in the news, potentially impacting human lives. Because overall system security starts at the device itself, the paper offers a set of device security principles and provides guidance on how to address those principles.
Interoperability in the IoT is also important today, and will continue to grow in mindshare and be seen as a critical requirement for emerging devices. This paper discusses standardization efforts, including the AllSeen Alliance, Open Interconnect Consortium, and several others. All of these efforts have strong industry supporters, but with the exception of AllSeen they are in their early stages. Although AllSeen and OIC are currently dominant, it’s too soon to call out a clear leader.
The final section of the paper discusses some example prototyping devices, their capabilities and some of the considerations when going from prototype to production.
This paper will give the reader a broad understanding of many of the aspects of device design for IoT solutions. For decision makers planning projects, this paper helps with scoping and knowing where more research is required to lay the groundwork for a successful IoT project.
Enterprise Social Collaboration Progression ModelMicrosoft
Microsoft and the Eller MBA program at the University of Arizona jointly developed the Social Collaboration Progression Model that outlines six stages of social collaboration and their triggers, obstacles, and impacts. The six phases identified in this model represent a progression that can be used to ascertain an organization's current state in the social collaboration paradigm. The paper identifies the prerequisites that are necessary to move to a chosen target stage, the obstacles that must be overcome, and the impacts of such a transition. The paper also addresses a high-level view of how social collaboration applies to the divisional levels within an organization.

Understanding Internet of Things - White Paper on Device ChoicesDavid J Rosenthal
As stated in the press, at conferences, and in publications , the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a huge opportunity across industries and customer segments. The paper “Building the Internet of Things”, which is available at http://aka.ms/iotwhitepaper discussed a broad set of topics associated with building IoT solutions. This paper is a follow on to that earlier paper and focuses on the "things" within IoT solutions.
First, it explains the concept of smart objects that contain devices, sensors and actuators, the combination of which will gather, process, send and receive data. Smart objects may or may not interact with a local gateway, which is sometimes used to provide external communication capabilities or provide local processing.
This paper also explains the set of considerations for device capabilities, and how they affect an overall solution. These considerations include cost, communications requirements, power availability, security requirements, and compute capacity. Next, it explains the options for device connectivity and the implications of choosing between common options.
Security in the IoT is critical, and a failure to consider security early in IoT design can lead to unfortunate and even catastrophic hacks that often end up in the news, potentially impacting human lives. Because overall system security starts at the device itself, the paper offers a set of device security principles and provides guidance on how to address those principles.
Interoperability in the IoT is also important today, and will continue to grow in mindshare and be seen as a critical requirement for emerging devices. This paper discusses standardization efforts, including the AllSeen Alliance, Open Interconnect Consortium, and several others. All of these efforts have strong industry supporters, but with the exception of AllSeen they are in their early stages. Although AllSeen and OIC are currently dominant, it’s too soon to call out a clear leader.
The final section of the paper discusses some example prototyping devices, their capabilities and some of the considerations when going from prototype to production.
This paper will give the reader a broad understanding of many of the aspects of device design for IoT solutions. For decision makers planning projects, this paper helps with scoping and knowing where more research is required to lay the groundwork for a successful IoT project.
Enterprise Social Collaboration Progression ModelMicrosoft
Microsoft and the Eller MBA program at the University of Arizona jointly developed the Social Collaboration Progression Model that outlines six stages of social collaboration and their triggers, obstacles, and impacts. The six phases identified in this model represent a progression that can be used to ascertain an organization's current state in the social collaboration paradigm. The paper identifies the prerequisites that are necessary to move to a chosen target stage, the obstacles that must be overcome, and the impacts of such a transition. The paper also addresses a high-level view of how social collaboration applies to the divisional levels within an organization.

How Microsoft Secures its Online Services [WHITEPAPER]ukdpe
Service security must be proactively designed in to all aspects of the online experience, from the software itself to the supporting infrastructure, from the day-to-day best practices for your own information workers to the buildings housing the data centers. The security architecture for the Business Productivity Online Suite embodies the key principles of the company’s Trustworthy Computing Initiative: security created by design, by default, and by deployment. Developed for global enterprises, Microsoft’s multi-faceted security program applies a common set of security policies to manage risk and mitigate threats to customer data. Microsoft seeks to improve security by working to standardize the way it tests, implements, and monitor policies for all of its customers. In turn, each Business Productivity Online Suite customer benefits from Microsoft’s experience with the security concerns of customers all over the world — and from the practices Microsoft applies to address them.

Microsoft is one of the largest IT companies in the world today that develops, manufactures, distributes and sells computer hardware, software, and related services. Among its most important products are operating systems, web browsers, and Microsoft office. The company was founded in 1975, and over the last four decades, has revolutionalized the technology world. Its mission is to empower all people and organizations across the globe to achieve more and more. It is probably one of the most profitable companies over the last two decades thanks largely to the internet. Without the World Wide Web, Microsoft could not be where it is. The company continues to grow and evolve in the new world. At the advent of mobile telephony during the early 2000s, Microsoft despite being mainly a computer-oriented company, delved into this market through the Nokia phones. It is also part of the Alliance for Affordable Internet together with Intel, Facebook, and Google among other companies. The alliance seeks to make internet access affordable to many people and broadening internet access in developing countries.
I have chosen Microsoft as the basis of my study because it incorporates the seven criteria that this project hopes to achieve. Firstly, Microsoft's nature of business calls for heightened security because of its storage online. As such, security policies are of major concern to the company. It also has a database that calls for it to have a robust database architecture that maintains the integrity of the Microsoft system. Any company that deals with computer software must have a secure database. User accounts must be secure; the passwords of various users must be well protected to ensure that chances of illegal access to the system are non-existent. In addition, the privileges and roles of all users in the company's database are always clearly set and defined. This is important if the database is going to remain secure. I will also take time to analyze the data isolation procedures that exist at Microsoft. Microsoft, therefore, offers a good platform on where to base my project on. Being a diversified company, studying it will provide numerous opportunities for fulfilling the seven main parts of this project.
