We’re Going Mobile! Great! Wait… What Does That Mean?

STC-Philadelphia Metro Chapter

So your company has decided to take its documentation mobile. Great! But just saying “go mobile” is too vague. Is it an app? Responsively designed online help? A mobilized web site? Something else? What effect might going mobile have on your documentation efforts? That’s the subject of this presentation. We’ll first look at various definitions of “mobile” including apps, responsive design, mobilized web sites, and more – their pros and cons, and tools you can use to create them. We’ll then look at how you might have to change your documentation practices in order to move to mobile, such as requiring greater syntactical rigor, eliminating local formatting, using relative fonts and media queries to create resizable tables and content, and more. You’ll leave this presentation with a solid understanding of options for going mobile and how your work may have to change to stay on the cutting edge of technical communication.

The Future Of Technical Communication

Scott Abel

Social media guru and technical communication expert Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, explores how content technologies, content standards, social networks, location awareness, user-generated content, mobile communication, augmented reality, information visualization, and advanced communication techniques can help technical communicators better serve their customers, identify failure points, and spot opportunities for growth.

Move Over Text: Video Documentation Meets DITA

Scott Abel

Technical communicators have been recombining small chunks of text to create multiple deliverables for years. But, as consumer expectations shift away from text-only content and toward video training and documentation, shouldn\'t we be creating and delivering multiple video deliverables? And, if video documentation is the wave of the future, can we use our existing content standards to make it happen? The answer is "Yes!" Attend this presentation to learn how one organization is creating and repurposing small video segments to create multiple video documentation sets using the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA).

Twitter Who Cares What You\'re Doing Right Now, Anyway

Scott Abel

Twitter. It\'s everywhere. Newscasters mention it. Political analysts point to its influence. Marketers use it to get messages out. Journalists and bloggers use it for research. Regular folks use it to keep up with their friends, family, and co-workers. And, people of all types use it for entertainment, research, and education. But, Twitter is more than all of these things combined. It\'s a revolution in content publishing and its changing forever -- or at least for now -- how we communicate what\'s important to us to those who want to know.

Intelligent Contet Here And Now

The Truth about Content: Learning from the Past in order to Succeed in the Fu...

Scott Abel

This presentation will throw a spotlight onto the single most common, and most serious, reason why Content Management projects fail. In a nutshell, too many projects become so focused on the technology they want to deploy that they forget about what matters most - the content and the people who use it. Real-life case studies will be used to illustrate this problem. The optimism of the audience will be rebuilt by introducing a proven solution to this issue with this being a call to move the focus of CM project towards Content Oriented Architectures. The most common mistake found in content management projects is rather surprising. The reason most CM projects falter is that the project team, and frequently its stakeholders, become unduly enamored with some piece of technology and assume, or hope, that one or two applications will erase all of the challenges surrounding the creation, management, reuse and delivery of content. When a particular collection of applications fail to deliver on the expectations, the usual response is to insert even more applications. With each new application that is introduced, a number of connectors and patches are also added so that one tool can work with the others that are already in place. This continues until, with seeming inevitability, these projects crumble under the weight of growing system complexity. These projects fail, in short, because, in becoming fixated on technology, they essentially forget about their content. This presentation will use a number of project cases studies, some older and some exceedingly current, to illustrate the downward path that most CM projects follow. While this might sound ominous, this journey will actually arrive at a hopeful conclusion. If CM projects place content at the center of their solution designs, adopting in effect a Content Oriented Architecture (COA), it becomes possible for projects to use technology, even exploit it, in ways that emphasize helping authors, publishers and content users. Under this model, the quality and usefulness of the content assets becomes the overriding focus and where automation is introduced it is to either further improve the quality of the content or to reduce the cost and effort needed to achieve the desired results. Examples of successful projects will be used to prove that Content Oriented Architectures are not really new and that they do deliver results that endure over time.

Writing, Clear and Simple - Document Testing: The Missing StepScott Abel

Scott Abel

Presented by Andrew Bredenkamp at Documentation and Training East, October 29-November 1, 2008. Do you have Standards for Information Quality? Do you monitor, measure, and track conformance to your Information Quality Standards? Are your Information Quality metrics collected consistently and objectively? Are your Information Quality metrics collected automatically on every information product that you deliver? Are your Information Quality metrics presented in a meaningful, actionable manner? Can you conclusively demonstrate Information Quality improvements? Can you tie cost and time-to-market reductions directly to Information Quality improvements? If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are applying well- known Quality Management principles to your Information development, localization, and production processes. And you know that in addition to quality improvements, you have generated substantial cost and time savings. You also know that your company is among the elite minority that knows their own IQ, and continually improves it. The rest of you likely answered no to most of the questions, either because you thought it was too hard, or too expensive, or too time consuming. Or not possible at all

Scott Abel

Presented by Richard Sikes at Documentation and Training East 2008 in Burlington, MA - October 29-November 1, 2008. Translation and Localization are intrinsically pragmatic endeavours. They also require a good deal of human effort that can be aided by technology. Numerous companies have developed solutions to help themselves, then realized that they were onto a good thing, so they have productized their proprietary solutions for more generalized usage. Well-known localization expert Richard Sikes will paint the background and evolution of three such stories, featuring products for visual software localization, translation workflow, and translation business management, and showing how they are used today. PASSOLO is a leading software technology for visual software localization. Used worldwide to create software products in many languages, PASSOLO is itself available in several languages. Pass Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of SDL International, has automated PASSOLO so as to use itself recursively to build alternate language versions. At Nero, the manufacturer of popular media creation software that is available in many languages, the localization management team sought, and failed to find, a workflow system to connect Nero

Sustainable XML for Publishing Applications: DITA Makes It Possible

Scott Abel

Presented by Eliot Kimber at Documentation and Training East 2008, October 29-November 1, 2008 in Burlington, MA. XML applications for publishers have largely failed to realize the full potential inherent in the technology. While larger publishers could make the investment necessary to realize significant return on the use of XML technology, smaller enterprises simply could not, for a number of reasons, but fundamentally because the startup costs and ongoing costs of ownership were simply too high. The DITA standard fundamentally changes the equation, bringing several unique features that, together, serve to lower both the startup cost and ongoing costs, making the use of XML for publishers much more affordable than it ever has before. At the same time, advances in supporting technologies important to Publishers, such as improved support for XML in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, powerful new XML search and retrieval systems such as MarkLogic, and a new generation of lower- cost XML editors, as serve to make the use of XML for Publishing applications more attractive than it ever has been before.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab 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. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

James Anderson

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs

Alex 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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days

Kari 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.
