  • Communication Between Desktop and Web Applications
    Communication between desktop and web applications Author: Manuel Rego Casasnovas Contact: [email protected] Date: 20/11/2009 Copyright: Some rights reserved. This document is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 licence, available in http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. Abstract: Nowadays, everybody uses web applications. Despite of their advantages, like being available at any place with Internet, they have some usability problems with regard to common desktop applications. This article tries to analyze the possible solutions in order to interconnect desktop and web applications, centered in the GNOME platform and using RTM-GLib as example and study case. Table of Contents Introduction 2 State of the art in the GNOME platform . .2 Goals .......................................7 The library: RTM-GLib 7 Dependencies . .7 Development . .8 License ......................................8 Roadmap . .8 Usage example . .9 Future ideas 9 Mojito.......................................9 Trackerminer................................... 10 EDSbackend................................... 11 Conclusion 11 1 Introduction There are a large amount of web services in the Internet. A general definition of web service said that it is a system which provides an interface to allow interaction between machines over a network. As time passes more and more web applications provide some kind of API in order to access their services. This number is growing and it seems that will keep growing for some time. Some examples of these applications: Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Web applications has some advantages compared with desktop applications: All the data is shared and in a centralized place. They do not need any special configuration or installation, just a simple web browser is enough.

We had three wildly successful conferences, several hackfests, and a number of newcomer events geared towards helping new contributors get THE GNOME involved in GNOME. We sponsored three amazing Outreachy interns and mentored nine students through Google Summer of Code. There were numerous technical successes: updates to GTK, two new releases of the desktop environment, and numerous infrastructure improvements, including both hardware and soware upgrades. We introduced an Inclusion and Diversity team in order to make the FOUNDATION GNOME community a more welcoming place. We announced the GNOME Community Engagement Challenge.

  • Mobile Phones and Cloud Computing
    Mobile phones and cloud computing A quantitative research paper on mobile phone application offloading by cloud computing utilization Oskar Hamrén Department of informatics Human Computer Interaction Master’s programme Master thesis 2-year level, 30 credits SPM 2012.07 Abstract The development of the mobile phone has been rapid. From being a device mainly used for phone calls and writing text messages the mobile phone of today, or commonly referred to as the smartphone, has become a multi-purpose device. Because of its size and thermal constraints there are certain limitations in areas of battery life and computational capabilities. Some say that cloud computing is just another buzzword, a way to sell already existing technology. Others claim that it has the potential to transform the whole IT-industry. This thesis is covering the intersection of these two fields by investigating if it is possible to increase the speed of mobile phones by offloading computational heavy mobile phone application functions by using cloud computing. A mobile phone application was developed that conducts three computational heavy tests. The tests were run twice, by not using cloud computing offloading and by using it. The time taken to carry out the tests were saved and later compared to see if it is faster to use cloud computing in comparison to not use it. The results showed that it is not beneficial to use cloud computing to carry out these types of tasks; it is faster to use the mobile phone. 1 Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Table of Contents ..................................................................................................................... 2 1.

  • 1. D-Bus a D-Bus FAQ Szerint D-Bus Egy Interprocessz-Kommunikációs Protokoll, És Annak Referenciamegvalósítása
    Az Udev / D-Bus rendszer - a modern asztali Linuxok alapja A D-Bus rendszer minden modern Linux disztribúcióban jelen van, sőt mára már a Linux, és más UNIX jellegű, sőt nem UNIX rendszerek (különösen a desktopon futó változatok) egyik legalapvetőbb technológiája, és az ismerete a rendszergazdák számára lehetővé tesz néhány rendkívül hasznos trükköt, az alkalmazásfejlesztőknek pedig egyszerűen KÖTELEZŐ ismerniük. Miért ilyen fontos a D-Bus? Mit csinál? D-Bus alapú technológiát teszik lehetővé többek között azt, hogy közönséges felhasználóként a kedvenc asztali környezetünkbe bejelentkezve olyan feladatokat hajtsunk végre, amiket a kernel csak a root felasználónak engedne meg. Felmountolunk egy USB meghajtót? NetworkManagerrel konfiguráljuk a WiFi-t, a 3G internetet vagy bármilyen más hálózati csatolót, és kapcsolódunk egy hálózathoz? Figyelmeztetést kapunk a rendszertől, hogy új szoftverfrissítések érkeztek, majd telepítjük ezeket? Hibernáljuk, felfüggesztjük a gépet? A legtöbb esetben ma már D-Bus alapú technológiát használunk ilyen esetben. A D-Bus lehetővé teszi, hogy egymástól függetlenül, jellemzően más UID alatt indított szoftverösszetevők szabványos és biztonságos módon igénybe vegyék egymás szolgáltatásait. Ha valaha lesz a Linuxhoz professzionális desktop tűzfal vagy vírusirtó megoldás, a dolgok jelenlegi állasa szerint annak is D- Bus technológiát kell használnia. A D-Bus technológia legfontosabb ihletője a KDE DCOP rendszere volt, és mára a D-Bus leváltotta a DCOP-ot, csakúgy, mint a Gnome Bonobo technológiáját. 1. D-Bus A D-Bus FAQ szerint D-Bus egy interprocessz-kommunikációs protokoll, és annak referenciamegvalósítása. Ezen referenciamegvalósítás egyik összetevője, a libdbus könyvtár a D- Bus szabványnak megfelelő kommunikáció megvalósítását segíti. Egy másik összetevő, a dbus- daemon a D-Bus üzenetek routolásáért, szórásáért felelős.

  • Designing a User Interface for the Innovative E-Mail Client Semester Thesis
    Designing a User Interface for the Innovative E-mail Client Semester Thesis Student: Alexandra Burns Supervising Professor: Prof. Bertrand Meyer Supervising Assistants: Stephanie Balzer, Joseph N. Ruskiewicz December 2005 - April 2006 1 Abstract Email Clients have become a crucial application, both in business and for per- sonal use. The term information overload refers to the time consuming issue of keeping up with large amounts of incoming and stored email. Users face this problem on a daily basis and therefore benefit from an email client that allows them to efficiently search, display and store their email. The goal of this thesis is to build a graphical user interface for the innovative email client developed in a previous master thesis. It also explores the possibilities of designing a user interface outside of the business rules that apply for commercial solutions. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Existing Work 6 2.1 ReMail ................................. 6 2.1.1 Methods ............................ 6 2.1.2 Problems Identified ...................... 7 2.1.3 Proposed Solutions ...................... 7 2.1.4 Assessment .......................... 8 2.2 Inner Circle .............................. 8 2.2.1 Methods ............................ 8 2.2.2 Problems Identified ...................... 9 2.2.3 Proposed Solutions ...................... 9 2.2.4 Assessment .......................... 10 2.3 TaskMaster .............................. 10 2.3.1 Methods ............................ 10 2.3.2 Problems Identified ...................... 11 2.3.3 Proposed Solution ...................... 11 2.3.4 Assessment .......................... 12 2.4 Email Overload ............................ 12 2.4.1 Methods ............................ 12 2.4.2 Problems Identified ...................... 13 2.4.3 Proposed Solutions ...................... 13 2.4.4 Assessment .......................... 14 3 Existing Solutions 16 3.1 Existing Email Clients .......................
