DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen
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.

And the reason for HarperCollins’ enduring
success? Simple. We have the best creative and
commercial brains in the business. We get behind great
ideas, we aren’t afraid to experiment and we always push
those boundaries. We know it’s not only about books any
more; people want their information, their entertainment and
their content in all sorts of formats (including books) and we
provide all that for them - and more.
Which is where you come in. We love our graduates. We
fight over them inside the business. They are the ones who
help us stay ahead, be creative, challenge how things are
done, and think differently. And in return, they work in every
part of the business over the course of the 18 months
traineeship, including Editorial, Digital, Rights, Production,
Marketing, PR and Sales. The scheme is well established
and every single person who has been part of it has been
offered a permanent job.

20. Under “Employment”
Include work experience but describe it accurately
“July – September 2009: Internship at In The Bath PR,
winner of Best in the West award from the Institute of
Public Relations
Use dynamic and positive language to describe what you
did – “Managed diaries for two directors; Organised
successful fund-raising event for 200 people at Bath &
West Showground, raising £3,500 in two hours. Created
avatar and devised digital marketing campaign for Devon
Pasties.”
Date each role but don’t draw attention to gaps
21. Under “Education”
Latest first
Grade predictions are fine: “I expect to gain
a 2.1/On my current grade profile I expect to
achieve a first class degree.”
DON’T FORGET ANY PRIZES OR
AWARDS
A level grades, if they were stellar
Give equivalents for less common awards
“3 Scottish Highers, equivalent to A-C A
Levels”
Just a number for GCSEs
22. Under Personal Interests
The Washing Penguins
factor – the appealing
personal detail shows
you in a good light and
gives your interviewer
something to ask you
“Worked at the
Capetown Marine
Rescue Centre
washing penguins
caught in an oil slick,
June 2009.”
BUT – no need to give
your age or marital
status
23. Beware
Indicating that you are
involved in something
liable to negate your
value as an employee:
“Passionate about
extreme sports, Grade
5 Whitewater Raft
Captain Award 2010.”
“Sports enthusiast,
raised £200 for
Children in Need in
sponsored sky-dive
March 2010” is better.
24. Don’t forget:
Driving licence?
First Aid course?
Module rep/prefect/netball captain?
TEFL course?
Any languages….Afrikaans, Russian,
Farsi, Mandarin, French, Spanish,
Welsh?
25. What to expect:
Your CV and its covering letter will be read – perhaps by
an HR executive who doesn’t understand the role,
perhaps even by a machine.
If your CV has gaps, for example, your gap year or times
when you may have been ill, a potential employer will ask
you about these
You may be asked further questions about any aspect of
the CV, or the job you want
– get good answers ready
“Why do you want to work here?”
is pretty much guaranteed.
27. And the Writer’s CV
Will be read by an agent, editor or
publisher
Should focus on your writing
achievements
And give an idea of your promotional
potential
As well as your commitment to your
writing career
28. Focus on your writing

Editor's Notes
Can you do the job” is another way of asking “What are your strengths?” And Bradt says that it’s OK to ask the interviewer what strengths s/he’s looking for. But likely they’re focusing on “soft” skills like interpersonal skills or the ability to navigate office politics.“Will you love the job” is a question of motivation. It’s the question you’ll be able to answer if you’ve thoroughly researched the company before coming in for the interview. If you really can’t find anything to love about the job, it’s best not to fake it, but as Bradtpoints out, motivation doesn’t have to come from loving the impact of the work. You might be motivated because of some benefit the job offers (extra travel?) or because you see it as a learning opportunity, even if the company itself sells the most boring widgets you can imagine.And of course the final question is about fit. Use the BRAVE framework, says Bradt. That’s:Behave: The way people act, make decisions, control the business, etc.Relate: The way people communicate with each other (including mode, manner and frequency), engage in intellectual debate, manage conflict, etc.Attitude: How people feel about the organization’s purpose, mission, vision, identify with the subgroup, group, organization as a whole, etc.Values: People’s underlying beliefs, approach to learning, risk, time horizons, etc.Environment: The way people approach the work environment in terms formality/informality of preferred office layout, etc.“This is one area where no one should play any games. There’s no upside for either the organization or the interviewee to try to be something different than what they are. They will get caught sooner or later,” he says.Now if only this meant you only had to answer three interview questions…RELATED:Jobs Of The Day: This Is The Sound Of Your New Career CallingJobs Of The Day: Visionary Sought In BaltimoreJobs Of The Day: Accounting Reporting In New York, Copy Editing in Chicago, And MoreDr. Wayne Dyer Speaks to the Laid Off, Unemployed and Just FrustratedComment Now!Share<< PREVIOUSEven The Army Has A PinterestNEXT >>Jobs Of The Day: Set Your Sights On A New Copyediting GigMEDIABISTRO EVENTSLeverage the Power of Facebook to Build Your BrandJoin AllFacebook, SocialTimes, and WebMediaBrands at the second AllFacebook Marketing Conference.
