This document discusses user interface markup languages which can be used to describe graphical user interfaces in a declarative way. It provides examples of XUL and WasabiXML, and discusses how markup languages allow user interfaces and tasks to be rendered flexibly across different technologies.
T 121 5300 (2008) User Interface Design 4 Guidelinesmniemi
The document discusses guidelines and principles for user interface design. It provides an overview of several established guidelines and principles, including those from Shneiderman, Nielsen, Tog, Smith & Mosier, and Fitts' Law. It also discusses style guides specific to different operating environments like Windows, Mac OS, GNOME and KDE. The guidelines aim to help designers create interfaces that are intuitive, consistent, prevent errors and support usability best practices.
T 121 5300 (2008) User Interface Design 2 Climniemi
The document discusses command line interfaces and their characteristics. It provides examples of commands used for various tasks like purchasing tickets via text message. It also discusses the goals and constraints of language design for command line interfaces and strategies for organizing, abbreviating, and structuring commands. Natural language interfaces are mentioned as a more advanced interface type building off of command language design principles.
The document discusses software development for mobile phones and introduces the Freesmartphone.org framework. It aims to provide a platform-agnostic and language-agnostic way to access hardware capabilities through D-Bus. This allows different mobile platforms to achieve interoperability and shared technologies. The presentation includes an overview of mobile software stacks, hardware capabilities, the problem of separate hardware abstraction layers, the goals of the Freesmartphone.org framework, how it integrates with freedesktop.org, a primer on D-Bus, and a code walkthrough of using the framework.

The document discusses strategic usability and how user information should inform decision making. It provides background on usability engineering and how user-centered design was developed to ensure systems fit user needs. Usability testing methods are described along with how usability impacts product development cycles and budgets. While usability engineering focuses on user needs, it is argued that usability is defined by all decisions that impact design, not just usability tests, and the entire team must internalize usability principles.
Intellectual Property Rights for Doctoral Studentsmniemi
This document discusses intellectual property rights (IPRs) from the viewpoint of researchers. It notes that copyrights and industrial property rights like patents are protected internationally and nationally, but must be registered. For researchers, they retain rights to earlier works and inventions unless assigned away, and are bound by non-disclosure agreements, but these do not limit future work. Finnish researchers have varying situations depending on employer. Research plans should include agreements on rights and obligations. University IPR policies distinguish between collaborative external research, where the university can acquire invention rights, and open internal research, where the inventor retains rights. IPR contracts should address cooperation, rights assignment, confidentiality and material transfer.
The document provides a quiz-style round of questions about computing history and technology. Round 1 consists of multiple choice questions about Moore's Law, the origins of Google and Yahoo, the traditional "Hello World" program, and quotes about Bill Gates and early computer viruses. Round 2 includes an image-based question. Round 3 introduces a connection round.
This document provides an overview of SQL (Structured Query Language) including what it is, what it can do, and some key SQL statements. SQL is a standard language for accessing and manipulating databases and allows users to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data. The document describes common statements like SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT and provides examples of basic usage.
Containers are lightweight, fast, agile, and solve all dependency issues related to the applications. With such benefits, why aren’t we using containers for stateful apps like databases? Unfortunately, most container platforms treat stateful apps just like stateless, often focusing just on initial provisioning, scale, or failover. To use the cattle vs pets analogy, stateful apps like databases are pets and not cattle. This means losing an instance of a database can lead to data loss, scaling them is not simple, and restoring does not imply simply bringing up another instance on a different host.
In this session, we will review the current state of container support for databases and discuss key aspects of database management like consolidation, data management, node failures, scaling out/back and scaling up/down, etc that container platforms need to address.
T-0.7050 (2008) Introduction to Post Graduate Studies in Computer Science And...mniemi
This document provides an introduction to a post-graduate studies course in computer science. [1] The goal of the course is to provide understanding of the scientific research process, research paradigms, and guidelines for planning PhD work. [2] It also aims to provide experience with the publishing and peer-review process. [3] The course requirements include writing reports on weekly meetings, preparing a personal research plan, doing a practice presentation with peer evaluation, and writing a peer review of a research paper. Passing the course requires submitting a written report summarizing all course activities.
