We’re calling it: 2013 is the Year of the Enterprise Mobile App!
Are you prepared to transform your business with increased mobile productivity? Mobile management solutions are proliferating: MDM, MAM, MBAAS, Virtualization, Containers, NAC, SDN. Which makes the most sense for your business and when?
The Innovative CIO's Discussion of Enterprise MobilityApperian
Mobility is very rapidly taking over the corporate realm: 90% of companies have already deployed mobile devices. Mobile application development projects will outnumber native PC projects by a ratio of 4-to-1 by 2015, according to Gartner. Yet, we see too many companies still pondering the benefits of mobility, while focusing on controlling the potential damage this mobile "invasion" may cause their IT systems.
Mobility has brought innovation in the hands of everyone, and you have a unique opportunity to seize its benefits. We invite you to join us as we answer the frequently raised questions in enterprise mobility discussions:
- What is the goal of mobility for my company?
- What is the best implementation to most effectively achieve our goals?
- How can I monitor and drive its progression within my company's workforce?
What is at stake for my company's IT systems and data?
How can I secure my corporate data once and for all?
Join Apperian's Director of EMEA Business Development, Julien-David Nitlech, on August 30th at 2:00 PM CEST as he addresses these questions. There's only one rule: be innovative! JD will also provide an overview of the Apperian EASE® platform as the solution for your enterprise mobility needs. Apperian EASE® allows you to manage the deployment of your company's mobile applications, while maximizing productivity and security. We believe our technology enables you to seize the innovation benefits of mobility.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is impacting IT organizations today, whether they realize it or not. Either companies are providing employee incentives such as issuing smartphones or tablets, or employees are bringing their own devices to work. To make BYOD a great opportunity, forward thinking companies are embracing this trend and realizing the next significant increase in end-user productivity.
The key factors of success lie in managing the risk while enjoying the benefits of the consumerization of IT:
- Securing company data by securing applications and data
- Ensuring malware on employee devices cannot compromise company data or servers (hint: through app-level security, encryption, connectivity, VPN)
- Maintaining, but separating, the personal and professional data on employee devices
Join Apperian's Director of EMEA Business Development, Julien-David Nitlech, on July 31st at 2:00 PM CEST, as he discusses the complexities and opportunities of mobilizing your workforce. JD explains the support Apperian provides to manage the deployment of your company's applications, from sourcing and securing, distribution, management, and promotion... so you focus on the productivity and communication benefits that mobility will provide to your company.

Securing Mobile Apps: New Approaches for the BYOD WorldApperian
In this webinar we discussed the future of mobile application security in the enterprise?
Smart phones, tablets and even e-readers are now seen as security problems for an enterprise by some IT organizations. Applying MDM — aka mobile device management — has been the response of IT to handle devices, but this approach is lacking, especially as BYOD (bring your own device) has become the primary source of devices in companies. And, as “apps” have proliferated, the apps and data are becoming the engine of user empowerment and ROI — and risk.
Users are not accepting the restrictions MDM places on their use of the phone, especially when the user actually owns the device. And if the user leaves, IT may wipe the device, personal data and all. Mobile Application Management (MAM) promise a solution that keeps enterprise apps and data separate and secure. Other approaches are coming in the future as well. Virtualization promises that one phone can run two VMs, one personal and one business. There are containers and sandboxed apps. Ultimately, different approaches to application development and management could solve the puzzle of protecting confidential data while keeping individuals productive. What approach will win out?
Building & Managing The Lifecycle of Mobile Apps For The EnterpriseApperian
This presentation covers the various options for creating mobile apps for iOS as well as other popular platforms including Android. The landscape is changing quickly, so we'll review everything from HTML5 web-only apps, cross-platform development tools, HTML-enabled "hybrid" apps, all the way to the full native XCode environment.
We'll cover best practices for managing the mobile app lifecycle from design, beta, rollout, update management, to retirement. We'll also see a demonstration of how to deploy and manage mobile apps in an "enterprise" or corporate environment for iOS and Android.
Originally presented at the Southland Mobile App Creators (SMAC) meeting November 9, 2011.
One of the many challenges facing IT leaders today is determining which technology to choose for developing enterprise applications. Should they be native mobile apps, Web-based apps using HTML5, or create a hybrid app? And once you've done your development, how best to deploy, manage, and secure these apps?

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
