INSTALL GTK-Ada X11 on MAC OS X INSTALL GTK-Ada X11 on MAC OS X 1) Install of GTK-Ada library Binaries for GTK-Ada for Mac aren't included in GPL 2011 release. They can be either built from source code (see next paragraph) or downloaded from Source Forge (what we are going to do in this paragraph). Download the following file on Mac desktop: . GTKAda : "gtkada-gpl-2011-x11-x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0-bin.tgz", from Source Forge "http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/GNAT_GPL %20Mac%20OS%20X/2011-snow-leopard". Launch Terminal from admin and type the following commands to install it for instance at /usr/local: $ cd /usr/local $ sudo tar xzf ~/Desktop/gtkada-gpl-2011-x11-x86_64-apple- darwin10.8.0-bin.tgz GTK, GTKAda and Glade are then installed in directory: /usr/local/gtk-2011 For a common usage, type the following commands: $ echo 'PATH=/usr/local/gtk-2011/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile $ echo 'PATH=/usr/local/gtk-2011/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc $ echo 'export GPR_PROJECT_PATH=/usr/local/gtk-2011/lib/gnat: $GPR_PROJECT_PATH' >> ~/.profile $ echo 'export GPR_PROJECT_PATH=/usr/local/gtk-2011/lib/gnat: $GPR_PROJECT_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc For a temporary usage, type the following commands each time: $ PATH=/usr/local/gtk-2011/bin:$PATH $ export GPR_PROJECT_PATH=/usr/local/gtk-2011/lib/gnat: $GPR_PROJECT_PATH Examples in Ada are available in: usr/local/gtk-2011/share/examples/gtkada.

    Performance Testing Suricata The Effect of Configuration Variables On Offline Suricata Performance A Project Completed for CS 6266 Under Jonathon T. Giffin, Assistant Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology by Winston H Messer Project Advisor: Matt Jonkman, President, Open Information Security Foundation December 2011 Messer ii Abstract The Suricata IDS/IPS engine, a viable alternative to Snort, has a multitude of potential configurations. A simplified automated testing system was devised for the purpose of performance testing Suricata in an offline environment. Of the available configuration variables, seventeen were analyzed independently by testing in fifty-six configurations. Of these, three variables were found to have a statistically significant effect on performance: Detect Engine Profile, Multi Pattern Algorithm, and CPU affinity. Acknowledgements In writing the final report on this endeavor, I would like to start by thanking four people who made this project possible: Matt Jonkman, President, Open Information Security Foundation: For allowing me the opportunity to carry out this project under his supervision.

  • Feature-Oriented Defect Prediction: Scenarios, Metrics, and Classifiers
    1 Feature-Oriented Defect Prediction: Scenarios, Metrics, and Classifiers Mukelabai Mukelabai, Stefan Strüder, Daniel Strüber, Thorsten Berger Abstract—Software defects are a major nuisance in software development and can lead to considerable financial losses or reputation damage for companies. To this end, a large number of techniques for predicting software defects, largely based on machine learning methods, has been developed over the past decades. These techniques usually rely on code-structure and process metrics to predict defects at the granularity of typical software assets, such as subsystems, components, and files. In this paper, we systematically investigate feature-oriented defect prediction: predicting defects at the granularity of features—domain-entities that abstractly represent software functionality and often cross-cut software assets. Feature-oriented prediction can be beneficial, since: (i) particular features might be more error-prone than others, (ii) characteristics of features known as defective might be useful to predict other error-prone features, and (iii) feature-specific code might be especially prone to faults arising from feature interactions. We explore the feasibility and solution space for feature-oriented defect prediction. We design and investigate scenarios, metrics, and classifiers. Our study relies on 12 software projects from which we analyzed 13,685 bug-introducing and corrective commits, and systematically generated 62,868 training and test datasets to evaluate the designed classifiers, metrics, and scenarios. The datasets were generated based on the 13,685 commits, 81 releases, and 24, 532 permutations of our 12 projects depending on the scenario addressed. We covered scenarios, such as just-in-time (JIT) and cross-project defect prediction.

  • WIKI on ACCESSIBILITY Completion Report March 2010
    WIKI ON ACCESSIBILITY Completion report March 2010 By Nirmita Narasimhan Programme Manager Centre for Internet and Society Project Title: Wiki on “Accessibility, Disability and the Internet in India” Page | 1 REPORT Accessibility wiki: accessibility.cis-india.org The wiki project was envisaged and funded by the National Internet Exchange of India (www.nixi.in) and has been executed by the Centre for Internet and Society (www.cis-india.org), Bangalore. Project Start date: May 2009 End date: February 2010. Background India has a large percentage of disabled persons in its population— estimated to be over seven per cent as per the Census of 2001. Even this figure is believed to be a gross under representation of the total number of disabled persons residing in this large and diverse country. Taken in figures, this amounts to roughly 70-100 million persons with disabilities in the territory of India. Out of this number, a mere two per cent residing in urban areas have access to information and assistive technologies which enable them to function in society and enhance their performance. There are several reasons for this, one of them being that there is a deplorable lack of awareness which exists on the kinds of disabilities and about ways in which one can provide information and services to disabled persons. Parents, teachers, government authorities and society at large are all equally unaware about the options which exist in technology today to enable persons with disabilities to carry on independent and productive lives. Barring a few exceptions, India is still trapped in an era where a white cane and a Braille slate symbolises the future for blind people, while the world has progressed to newer forms of enabling technology such as screen readers, daisy players, the Kindle and so on.

  • A Game Engine for the Blind
    Bachelor in Computer Science and Engineering 2016/2017 Bachelor Thesis Designing User Experiences: a Game Engine for the Blind Álvaro Cáceres Muñoz Tutor/s: Teresa Onorati Thesis defense date: July 3rd, 2017 This work is subject to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License. Abstract Video games experience an ever-increasing interest by society since their incep- tion on the 70’s. This form of computer entertainment may let the player have a great time with family and friends, or it may as well provide immersion into a story full of details and emotional content. Prior to the end user playing a video game, a huge effort is performed in lots of disciplines: screenwriting, scenery design, graphical design, programming, opti- mization or marketing are but a few examples. This work is done by game studios, where teams of professionals from different backgrounds join forces in the inception of the video game. From the perspective of Human-Computer Interaction, which studies how people interact with computers to complete tasks [9], a game developer can be regarded as a user whose task is to create the logic of a video game using a computer. One of the main foundations of HCI1. is that an in-depth understanding of the user’s needs and preferences is vital for creating a usable piece of technology. This point is important as a single piece of technology (in this case, the set of tools used by a game developer) may – and should have been designed to – be used on the same team by users with different knowledge, abilities and capabilities.
