Web services allow different software applications to communicate and share resources regardless of operating systems or programming languages. Web services use XML and open protocols like HTTP and SOAP. They are self-contained, self-describing application components that can be used by other applications. SOAP is a communication protocol for sending messages between applications, and WSDL describes web services and how to access them. Testing a web service involves composing XML requests, structuring test cases and suites, automating validation of responses, and outputting results. The Altova tools support XML, databases, and web services development.

Web Services Presentation - Introduction, Vulnerabilities, & CountermeasuresPraetorian
The concept of web services has become ubiquitous over the last few years. Frameworks are now available across many platforms and languages to greatly ease and expedite the development of web services, often with a vast amount of existing code reuse. Software companies are taking advantage of this by integrating this technology into their products giving increased power and interoperability to their customers. However, the power web services enables also introduces new risks to an environment. As with web applications, development has outpaced the understanding and mitigation of vulnerabilities that arise from this emerging technology. This presentation will first aim to identify the risks associated with web services. We will describe the existing security standards and technologies which target web services (i.e., WS-Security) including its history, pros and cons, and current status. Finally we will attempt to extrapolate the future of this space to determine what changes must be made going forward.
Praetorian's goal is to help our clients understand minimize their overall security exposure and liability. Through our services, your organization can obtain an accurate, independent security assessment.

.NET incorporates a software platform for building the .NET experiences, which means servers running databases, Web servers, and other systems. This isn't that different from the way we run our enterprises today; the differences are in the capabilities of these products. Today we have messaging systems like Exchange and databases like SQL Server, and these will be fundamental components of .NET. But products like BizTalk Server for orchestrating information through the enterprise, Application Center for managing these servers running .NET, and Mobile Information Server for providing the services for the mobile users, also will be part of .NET.
The .NET product will include a programming model with tools. This will allow developers to create the Web services that .NET is based on. The model is the .NET Framework, which will be described later on in this document.
The final component of .NET is the end result of the programming model, tools, and platform. Web services provide the services and information users will require of Phase 3 of the Internet. Because these Web services are programmable, they allow a user to use any device to access this information and to share this information with other sites and services.

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.
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.

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).

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:

Introduction to Web Services
Today, companies rely on thousands of different software applications each with
their own role to play in running a business. These different software applications run
on a wide range of different platforms and operating systems, and they are
implemented in different programming languages. As a result, it is very difficult for
different applications to communicate with one another and share their resources in a
coordinated way.
4. 4
What are Web Services?
• Web services are application components
• Web services communicate using open protocols
• Web services are self-contained and self-describing
• Web services can be used by other applications
• XML is the basis for Web services
5. 5
Why Web Services?Interoperability has highest priority.
• When all major platforms could access the Web using Web browsers, different platforms could interact. For
these platforms to work together, Web applications were developed.
• Web applications are simple applications run on the web. These are built around the Web browser standards
and can mostly be used by any browser on any platform.
Web services take Web applications to the next level.
• Using Web services your application can publish its function or message to the rest of the world.
• Web services uses XML to code and decode your data and SOAP to transport it using open protocols.
Web services have two types of uses.
• Reusable application components. Ideally, there will only be one type of each application component, and
anyone can use it in their application.
Connect existing software
• Web services help solve the interoperability problem by giving different applications a way to link their data.
• Using Web services you can exchange data between different applications and different platforms.
6. 6
The base of WS
– The basic Web services platform is XML + HTTP.
– The HTTP protocol is the most used Internet protocol.
– XML provides a language which can be used between different platforms and programming
languages and still express complex messages and functions.
Web services platform elements
• SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
• WSDL (Web Services Description Language)
7. 7
What is SOAP?
The basic Web services platform is XML plus
HTTP.
• SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol
• SOAP is a communication protocol
• SOAP is for communication between applications
• SOAP is a format for sending messages
• SOAP is designed to communicate via Internet
• SOAP is platform independent
• SOAP is language independent
• SOAP is based on XML
• SOAP is simple and extensible
• SOAP allows you to get around firewalls
• SOAP will be developed as a W3C standard
8. 8
What is WSDL?
WSDL is an XML-based language for describing Web services and
how to access them.
• WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language
• WSDL is written in XML
• WSDL is an XML document
• WSDL is used to describe Web services
• WSDL is also used to locate Web services
• WSDL is not yet a W3C standard
9. 9
How to test a web service?
• As a web service is something that has no user interface, we can’t interact with it
without a special tool. That tool should allow composing XML requests via its
own user interface. Commonly such user interfaces are text editors where you
write your XML requests and controls for posting requests to the server.
10. 10
How to test a web service?
• Project structure. As in every well-established testing activity, I’ve started with test
specification. The main part of a test specification is test cases divided into test areas.
Visual Studio allows structuring your test project into test suites (the same as test
areas in my test specification) that contain test cases, which can contain test steps, you
can add, modify, delete and change order of every item in the structure.
• Test cases. Visual Sdudio provides enough convenient tools to manage and run your
test cases, and view result in test requests.
• Load Testing. You can perform Load Testing.
11. 11
How to test a web service?
• Automation. But what if your web service contains too many methods with too many
input and output parameters? It may take several days for each complete test of your
web service if your tool does not provide functionality to automate your testing. You
can automate validation of your web service’s response against you input. You can
automate the output of validation results into a file (which could be just a text file of
HTML depending on your choice).
