North Bridge and Wikibon, announced the results of its sixth annual Future of Cloud Computing Survey, which analyzes trends in cloud computing, adoption, use and challenges on a yearly basis. The study provides the broadest and deepest exploration of cloud in the industry with 53 leading cloud companies participating as collaborators. This year’s survey received 1,351 responses, a record-breaking number, representing a 60/40 balance of user/vendor perspectives spanning senior executives to practitioners across all industry sectors such as Technology, F.I.R.E., Government, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Media, Professional Services and Transportation.
According to Wikibon’s July 2016 report based on market conditions and recent public cloud revenue results of Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and IBM; public cloud spending is expected to accelerate rapidly, growing from $75B in 2015 to $522B by 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 19%. Within each public cloud segment continued rapid growth rates are also expected during this period: SaaS (19% CAGR), PaaS (33% CAGR), and IaaS (18% CAGR). Wikibon estimates that by 2026, cloud will account for nearly 50% of spending related to enterprise hardware, software, and outsourcing services.
Cloud Strategy
Based on our survey, while slightly less than 50% of all companies either have a cloud first or cloud only strategy; some form of cloud strategy is pervasive among all with 90% of companies surveyed reporting that they use it in some way.
A new finding this year is the fact that a surprisingly high number, 42%, of companies surveyed derive 50% or more of their business through cloud-based applications. In fact, a whopping 79.9% of the companies surveyed were getting some revenue from the cloud. This speaks to the digital transformation occurring across many industries and how many are looking to not only move more quickly with the cloud but profit from it as well.

This document discusses web operating systems (web OS). It begins by defining a web OS as a software platform that interacts with users through a web browser and does not depend on any particular local OS. The main interface is the browser, which can perform typical OS functions like file access and preferences.
It then covers the history of web OS development from 1998 onwards. The technologies that power web OS are discussed, primarily AJAX and Flash. Example web OS like ICloud, Glide OS, and Eye OS are outlined. Advantages include portability across devices but disadvantages include always needing an internet connection and inability to access local hardware. In conclusion, web OS are predicted to become more prominent as more applications move online.

Jam BW is a Java-based biologist created by Afsheen Khalid, a student at the University of Education in Okara, Pakistan. The document discusses how Java applications are platform independent and can be run on any computer. It also covers some of the software problems with third-party applications, the services provided by networked computers, how laboratory devices could be programmed with Java, and how this could lead to the creation of virtual robots.
System software is a type of software that operates basic computer functions and provides a platform for running other application software. There are different types of system software including operating systems, device drivers, and programming software. The most important system software is the operating system, which acts as an interface between users and hardware and manages other programs. Major operating systems include Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Windows 7 was developed by Microsoft as an improved version of earlier Windows operating systems with enhanced features, speed, and resource usage. As technology has evolved, operating systems and devices have shifted from desktop computers to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
This document summarizes key features and improvements in Windows 7, including the taskbar, libraries, multi-touch support, the ribbon interface, sensors and location capabilities, and graphics. It encourages developers to optimize their applications for Windows 7 by taking advantage of these new features and APIs, and provides information on testing and certification programs.
Microsoft Windows operating systems have significantly impacted human behavior in several ways. Windows applications like Microsoft Word have made documentation more efficient, saving time for office workers and allowing for the management of large document collections. Excel has also impacted industries by facilitating calculations and scientific data processing. More recently, applications like OneNote have changed notetaking behaviors, making it easier for students and professionals to take and organize notes digitally rather than printing notes. Overall, Windows operating systems have streamlined many workplace and educational tasks through integrated applications.
As Windows XP comes to the end of its natural life on 8 April 2014, thousands of applications that run under the old operating system will need to be upgraded for a move to Windows 7 or 8.
The majority of commercial applications are available in newer versions of the Windows operating system, and users simply need to stay current. However, some businesses may find that they are unable to do so for various reasons, perhaps because they have been developed in-house, or are one of the few commercial applications that don’t have an upgrade path to Windows 7 or 8.
In these instances, what are the options when it comes to applications that can’t be upgraded? How can businesses overcome issues associated with legacy apps when upgrading the rest of their applications to Windows 8?

Journey from Monolith to a Modularized Application - Approach and Key Learnin...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2017 Presentation by Emanoel Xavier (Intel) and Tim Ward (Paremus)
Open Security Controller (OSC) aims to increase the security of workloads running in cloud and data centers by orchestrating security virtual network functions (VNFs). To achieve that, one of the main design goals of OSC is to allow vendor customization while keeping its core code neutral. Additionally, as an open source project, another import design principal for OSC is code habitability. Evolving from a legacy monolithic application to a modularized one through OSGi has enabled OSC to implement these goals.
Bringing together a diverse group of security services and software defined network (SDN) providers was key to building the OSC community. This was possible due to the OSC plugin model using OSGi which allows specific vendors to integrate OSC with their existing solutions with minimum effort. Beyond its plugin model OSC also makes use of OSGi in its core components. This enables better extensibility, testability and overall maintainability of its code base. These aspects are key to OSC as it relates to the new and dynamic areas of SDN and security VNFs in cloud and data center environments and it must be able to easily adapt to the constantly changing requirements and technologies pertaining these fields.
In this talk we will explore the journey for turning OSC into a modularized application using OSGi, highlighting some of the achieved results, key learned lessons and the next steps for this work.

The operating system (OS) is essential software that manages computer hardware resources and allows applications to function. It acts as an intermediary between hardware and software, controlling devices like displays, keyboards, storage drives and more. Common OS examples are Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The OS provides multitasking, allowing users to run multiple programs simultaneously, as well as a graphical user interface (GUI) accessed through icons, windows and menus.
FOSS Techlab provides open source consultancy services. Their document discusses the benefits of open source software such as cost savings, freedom from vendor lock-in, and increased security and customizability compared to proprietary software. It also outlines their services including software repositories, deployment servers, eLearning platforms, and recommendations for diskless thin client systems. Their goal is to promote the use of open source software in academic institutions through education and training.
Jose Carlos Norte discusses the limitations of traditional VDI approaches that involve virtualizing entire desktop environments. He proposes a more efficient "hybrid virtualization" approach using eyeOS's cloud desktop solution, which provides a centralized web-based desktop environment under a company's control. This allows applications to be selectively virtualized using Citrix XenApp when needed, while other applications can run locally or as web apps, optimizing software licensing and server resource usage compared to traditional VDI.
The document discusses several mobile operating systems including Palm OS, Symbian OS, Pocket PC, Linux OS, Windows Mobile, MXI, and Android. It provides overview information on each OS, such as Palm OS focusing on personal information management, Symbian OS being used in 85% of phones, Pocket PC leveraging Microsoft desktop apps, Linux being used in higher-end phones, and Android being an open source platform used widely in phones and tablets. Key advantages of mobile OSs are noted as portability while disadvantages include limited memory, slow processors, and small screens.

Digital Signage - Audience MeasurementTom Presotto
Digital signage and audience measurement solutions can help communicate effectively with audiences. Dynamic digital signage allows for easy updates of centralized content and interactive communications. Audience measurement uses biometric sensors to analyze demographics like age, gender, and attention time to measure the effectiveness of marketing messages and displays. This data helps tailor content to attract specific audiences while complying with privacy laws through anonymous collection.
This document discusses using SMS messaging to facilitate bidirectional communication during events. Attendees can send questions to speakers via SMS without waiting for the formal Q&A session. Event organizers can also use SMS for polls, surveys, and contests. A cloud-based SMS service allows organizers to manage incoming and outgoing messages through a simple web-based control panel with minimal learning time.
This document provides information about IBM Power Systems servers from 2010. It describes the Power 710, Power 730, Power 720 and Power 740 servers including their processor options, core counts, speeds and I/O capabilities. Power 795 is also mentioned as the highest-end model available at that time, with the Power 780 and Power 755 filling out the mid-range offerings. Details are given about the POWER7 processor architecture, features like Active Memory Expansion, and how Power Systems provide capabilities for performance, throughput, consolidation and energy efficiency.
This document discusses modernizing IBM i systems. It presents three approaches: refacing, restructuring, and rewriting applications. Refacing involves adding a new graphical user interface but retains existing business logic. Restructuring splits applications into presentation, logic, and data layers. Rewriting migrates applications to a new language like PHP. The document argues for preserving existing RPG code and exposing it through web services. It also discusses using PHP, private clouds, and innovative interfaces like touchscreens with IBM i systems.
The document analyzes the Facebook activity of the author's 223 friends. It finds that only 15 friends (6.7%) post at least once a week, while 93.3% are either "ghosts" who rarely use Facebook or "curious onlookers" who read posts but don't comment. Many curious onlookers admit to reading posts daily but give rare reasons for not posting like fear of their manager seeing views or wanting to observe others' thoughts without sharing their own opinions. An analysis of friends' recent posts found 20% were status updates, 5% were photos, 45% were shared links, 28% joined groups, and only 2% actively participated in discussions.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

A pc on every desk. A big mistake.
1. A PC on every desk
Probably, one of the biggest error in
the information technology era
Smaller footprint, same 1
complexity
2. PC: a downsized mainframe
Same Von Neumann architecture: ALU, registries,
memory, I/O, interrupts, HD, other devices
Same pile of sftw stacks: microcode, OS, drivers,
system services, DB, applications
Together with:
o The difficulty, for a typical user, to run,
administer, maintain and fine tune the
system
2
3. User. Not a system engineer
Typical user doesn’t - and must not - have the
expertise necessary for everyday maintenance of
his “working tool”
3
4. Maintenance schedule
Best practices for a healthy PC (at least once in a
week)
o Run antivirus & spyware removal tools
o Install the latest updates
o Backup the entire system
o Encrypt confidential data
o Check for errors and backup your local mailbox file
o Run utilities to check for dangerous problem like the
“rootkit” infection
o Check for unwanted applications/services that eat
system resources
o Check the hard disk for volume errors
o Continue ….. 4
5. Is Windows faulty ?
No, but:
The more the third party applications you add to the
systems the more it becomes fragile and prone to crashes.
Like any complex architecture it requires an accurate and
constant maintenance
Internet can be a dangerous source of, virus, spyware,
malaware, ecc
Many users downloads and install uncertified and untested
applications from the web
It was not designed to be a “closed” platform
centrally managed by a team of expert
5
7. Time machine: back to 80s
What would have happened in a real world
Geek
Open platform
User
Closed & specialized
platform 7
8. Back to the future
“Closed”
Cloud Midrange SaaS
devices:
computing systems applications
iPad
8
9. Cloud Computing
Put back the platform's management issues in
the hands of the experts
OPEX: pay per use
SLA: support & maintenance fees are based on
the reliability index needed
Platform-free clients:
any combination of hardware & software able
to run a web browser
9
10. Midrange systems
Kind of “private cloud”
Ideal solution for “single-server” companies
Centralized model
Bring back the complexity into the “computer
room”
No more “personal” workstations
End of company data stored on users’ disks
Low-TCO terminals
SOA approach to integrate third party “SaaS”
solutions
10
11. Legacy UI (User Interface)
Too often the wrong reason behind the abandon
of a midrange reliable system
Modern tools allows easy UI to GUI mapping
Not always a modern GUI is the right choice
o 5250-UI is still the fastest way for data-entry
operators
Multi-touch screens, hand-gestures or eye-
movements recognition devices can be easily
“connected” using SOA Web Services to access
the Business Logic components.
11
13. iPad
Closed platform
o Runs only certified applications
Almost whatever could be a source of problems
has been removed by design
Easy to use
Geeks hate it
Keegs (opposite of Geek) love it
13
14. SaaS applications
Google Docs - Office Live
All you needs is a browser
Data are stored “somewhere” in the Cloud
o Accessible everywhere from any device
14
15. Slim OSs
Chrome OS, iPhone OS, Windows EC 7, Ubuntu light,
ecc
New Operating Systems designed to work exclusively
with Web Applications
Google Chromoting
o Chrome OS extension to run "legacy PC applications" right
in the browser
Services
Present OS
Browser Light OS
Services Browser
