These range from social networks to cutting-edge connected objects. They are now a fully-fledged part of our aesthetic relationship with the world, on a par with architecture or decorative art. A certain widely distributed and highly standardised aesthetic of digital media has been created, producing strong brands in users’ minds. Users are barely aware of this aesthetic, which is well thought out. Conditioning through design pre-empts everything that the individual handles or sees in the digital world. In the wake of Bauhaus, where design is based on the search for functional aesthetics, digital technology has become a relevant field of application in EDITORIAL problem-solving. For, beyond the desire to avoid ugliness that “does not sell”, to quote Raymond Loewy, the digital promise is so broad that the functions provided by design seem endless, giving the key players that own them the expectation of a substantial return on investment. Web giants have understood this by competing to attract users, customising their experience, influencing – as subtly and as substantially as possible – their behaviour, in all fields, from leisure to politics.

IYIR for HTML

Prof. Information Assurance Program Director, MSIA BSIA Division of Business Management Norwich University [email protected] Copyright © 2006 M. E. Kabay. All rights reserved. Page 1 INFOSEC UPDATE 2006 -- June 19-20, 2006 01 Introduction Category 01 Introduction 2006-06-12 Introduction M. E. Kabay, PhD, CISSP WELCOME Welcome to the 2005 edition of the Information Security Year in Review (IYIR) project. In 1993 and 1994, I was an adjunct professor in the Institute for Government Informatics Professionals in Ottawa, Canada under the aegis of the University of Ottawa. I taught a one-semester course introducting information security to government personnel and enjoyed the experience immensely. Many of the chapters of my 1996 textbook, _The NCSA Guide to Enterprise Security_ published by McGraw-Hill were field-tested by my students. In 1995, I was asked if I could run a seminar for graduates of my courses to bring them up to date on developments across the entire field of information security. Our course had twenty students and I so enjoyed it that I continued to develop the material and teach the course with the NCSA (National Computer Security Association; later called ICSA and then eventually renamed TruSecure Corporation and finally CyberTrust, its current name) all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. After a few years of working on this project, it became obvious that saving abstracts in a WordPerfect file was not going to cut it as an orderly method for organizing the increasing mass of information that I was encountering in my research.

Analisi Del Progetto Mozilla

Firefox es una de las aplicaciones gratuitas que se pueden utilizar para navegar en Internet. Seguramente el lector utilice Internet Explorer que es el navegador más conocido y utilizado, pero no el mejor. Basado en Mozilla, el proyecto Firefox nació, a finales de 2002, orientado a usuarios no técnicos. Fue pasando por diversos nombres (Phoenix, Firebird) hasta tomar la denominación actual. Cabe destacar que se trata de un proyecto ‘Open Source’ (Código Abierto), lo que supone que cualquier desarrollador puede modificar el código para mejorarlo. Este pequeño manual le enseñará a instalar y utilizar Firefox en una computadora con sistema operativo Windows. ¿Por qué debo usar Firefox? Hay

Approaches to Visualising Linked Data: a Survey
Semantic Web 1 (2011) 1–2 1 IOS Press Approaches to Visualising Linked Data: A Survey Editor(s): Krzysztof Janowicz, Pennsylvania State University, USA Solicited review(s): Anthony Robinson, Pennsylvania State University, USA; Sarven Capadisli, National University of Ireland, Ireland Aba-Sah Dadzie a,∗ and Matthew Rowe b a OAK Group, Department of Computer Science, Regent Court, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] b Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The uptake and consumption of Linked Data is currently restricted almost entirely to the Semantic Web community. While the utility of Linked Data to non-tech savvy web users is evident, the lack of technical knowledge and an understanding of the intricacies of the semantic technology stack limit such users in their ability to interpret and make use of the Web of Data. A key solution in overcoming this hurdle is to visualise Linked Data in a coherent and legible manner, allowing non-domain and non-technical audiences to obtain a good understanding of its structure, and therefore implicitly compose queries, identify links between resources and intuitively discover new pieces of information. In this paper we describe key requirements which the visualisation of Linked Data must fulfil in order to lower the technical barrier and make the Web of Data accessible for all. We provide an extensive survey of current efforts in the Semantic Web community with respect to our requirements, and identify the potential for visual support to lead to more effective, intuitive interaction of the end user with Linked Data.

Can Mozilla manage to upset Microsoft’s lock on the browser market? We’ve found that Netscape on its own was not able to survive. 19 However, perhaps the Mozilla business model is different. Netscape was a product that was initially sold to consumers; IN THIS CHAPTER Microsoft quickly gave away Internet Explorer to users. It’s hard to make money giving away your main product, as • The History of Mozilla Netscape found out. • Firefox Versus Internet In this chapter we’ll study the Netscape/Mozilla timeline, Explorer compare Firefox with Internet Explorer, and compare Thunderbird with Outlook and Outlook Express.

Here’s a timeline of its progress: March 1993: Marc Andreessen announces Mosaic. Mosaic was written as a joint effort between the University of Illinois and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Mid-1994: Mosaic Communications is founded by Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen. October 1994: Mosaic releases Netscape 0.9, the first beta version of the Mosaic browser.
