  • Experiencing Software Landscapes Using HCI in Explorviz
    Experiencing Software Landscapes using HCI in ExplorViz Bachelor’s Thesis Matthias Möller September 30, 2017 Kiel University Department of Computer Science Software Engineering Group Advised by: Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hasselbring M.Sc. Christian Zirkelbach Eidesstattliche Erklärung Hiermit erkläre ich an Eides statt, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig verfasst und keine anderen als die angegebenen Quellen und Hilfsmittel verwendet habe. Kiel, 9. Dezember 2017 iii Abstract The Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) is an interface receiving the brain’s signals and con- verting them into computer signals. Although the BCI’s importance increased in the last years and most probably will increase further, most people have never heard of this device, because this device has yet not gained much place in our daily life routines, but this could change soon. At the moment portable, low-cost BCIs emerge from the market and open new opportunities in the context of interaction between human and machine, but these low-cost BCIs are mostly untested. Furthermore, there are barely approaches to implement the BCI as additional tool in an already existing software, yet. Our working processes were inspired by gaining informations about the BCI as new possibility for task comprehensions. Therefore, we wanted to implement a BCI’s functional- ity into the software tool ExplorViz. We worked with a low-cost BCI called Emotiv Insight and made in the beginning first experiences with the BCI as new interface. After we had designed our software, we implemented a plugin, which optionally extends ExplorViz by the possibility to use the BCI and, thereby, to use two different thoughts as additional navigation possibilities.

  • A Web Framework for Web Development Using C++ and Qt
    C++ Web Framework: A Web Framework for Web Development using C++ and Qt Herik Lima1;2 and Marcelo Medeiros Eler1 1University of Sao˜ Paulo (EACH-USP), Sao˜ Paulo, SP, Brazil 2XP Inc., Sao˜ Paulo, SP, Brazil Keywords: Web, Framework, Development, C++. Abstract: The entry barrier for web programming may be intimidating even for skilled developers since it usually in- volves dealing with heavy frameworks, libraries and lots of configuration files. Moreover, most web frame- works are based on interpreted languages and complex component interactions, which can hurt performance. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to introduce a lightweight web framework called C++ Web Framework (CWF). It is easy to configure and combine the high performance of the C++ language, the flexibility of the Qt framework, and a tag library called CSTL (C++ Server Pages Standard Tag Library), which is used to handle dynamic web pages while keeping the presentation and the business layer separated. Preliminary evaluation gives evidence that CWF is easy to use and present good performance. In addition, this framework was used to develop real world applications that support some business operations of two private organizations. 1 INTRODUCTION configuration files; and writing glue code to make multiple layers inter-operate (Vuorimaa et al., 2016).

Studying others is a natural way to learn; however, it's as easy to learn bad habits through imitation as it is to acquire good ones. The better way to become HTML-fluent is through a comprehensive reference that covers the language syntax, semantics, and variations in detail and demonstrates the difference between good and bad usage. Learn how to install and use Express. JavaScript is currently disabled, this site works much better if you enable JavaScript in your browser. If you're a decent developer, the app should already be build in your mind. Lift makes it fun to develop because it lets you focus on the interesting parts of coding. The Definitive Guide to AdonisJs also covers how to create a front-end build chain, so that you can use a modern front-end framework, such as React. An archived version of blog. Everyone I know who uses spring complains about the difficulty in getting the configs and dependencies right, maven nightmares, etc. JavaScript is very fast, simple and integrate easily with other languages.

  • Seeker Interactive Application Security Testing Datasheet
    Seeker Interactive Application Security Testing Easy-to-use enterprise- Overview scale IAST that Seeker®, our interactive application security testing (IAST) solution, gives you accurately identifies and unparalleled visibility into your web app security posture and identifies vulnerability verifies vulnerabilities trends against compliance standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, GDPR, CAPEC, and CWE/SANS Top 25). Seeker enables security teams to identify and track sensitive data to ensure that it is handled securely and not stored in log files or databases with weak or no encryption. Seeker’s seamless integration into CI/CD workflows enables fast interactive application security testing at DevOps speed. Unlike other IAST solutions, which only identify security vulnerabilities, Seeker can also determine whether a security vulnerability (e.g., XSS or SQL injection) can be exploited, thus providing developers with a risk-prioritized list of verified vulnerabilities to fix in their code immediately. Using patented methods, Seeker quickly processes hundreds of thousands of HTTP(S) requests, identifies vulnerabilities, and reduces false positives to near zero. This enables security teams to focus on actual verified security vulnerabilities first, greatly improving productivity and reducing business risk. It’s like having a team of automated pen testers assessing your web applications 24/7. Seeker applies code instrumentation techniques (agents) inside running applications and can scale to address large enterprise security requirements. It provides accurate results out of the box and doesn’t require extensive, lengthy configuration. With Seeker, your developers don’t have to be security experts, because Seeker provides detailed vulnerability descriptions, actionable remediation advice, and stack trace information, Project security grades based on security and it identifies vulnerable lines of code.
