In this sense, this article proposes a research method called blitz literature review, as a way to quickly, transparently, and repeatably consult key references in a particular area of interest, seen as a network composed of elements that are indispensable to such a process. The tutorial consists of six steps explained in detail, easy to follow and reproduce, accompanied by publicly available supplementary material. Finally, the possible implications of this research method are discussed, being brought to the fore a general recommendation regarding the optimization of the citizens’ involvement in the efforts and approaches of open scientific research. Keywords: blitz literature review, open access, open science, research methods IN-BROWSER BLITZ LITERATURE REVIEWS 3 Writing a Psychological Blitz Literature Review with Nothing but a Browser Context The term “blitz literature review” refers to an adaptation of the concept of literature review.

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.

  • Browser Versions Carry 10.5 Bits of Identifying Information on Average [Forthcoming Blog Post]
    Browser versions carry 10.5 bits of identifying information on average [forthcoming blog post] Technical Analysis by Peter Eckersley This is part 3 of a series of posts on user tracking on the modern web. You can also read part 1 and part 2. Whenever you visit a web page, your browser sends a "User Agent" header to the website saying what precise operating system and browser you are using. We recently ran an experiment to see to what extent this information could be used to track people (for instance, if someone deletes their browser cookies, would the User Agent, alone or in combination with some other detail, be enough to re-create their old cookie?). Our experiment to date has shown that the browser User Agent string usually carries 5-15 bits of identifying information (about 10.5 bits on average). That means that on average, only one person in about 1,500 (210.5) will have the same User Agent as you. On its own, that isn't enough to recreate cookies and track people perfectly, but in combination with another detail like an IP address, geolocation to a particular ZIP code, or having an uncommon browser plugin installed, the User Agent string becomes a real privacy problem. User Agents: An Example of Browser Characteristics Doubling As Tracking Tools When we analyse the privacy of web users, we usually focus on user accounts, cookies, and IP addresses, because those are the usual means by which a request to a web server can be associated with other requests and/or linked back to an individual human being, computer, or local network.

  • World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDAV): an Introduction1
    World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WEBDAV): An Introduction1 E. James Whitehead, Jr. Dept. of Information and Computer Science University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-3425 Email: [email protected] Phone: (714) 824-4121 Fax: (714) 824-1715 1.0 Introduction Today the typical use of the World Wide Web is to browse information in a largely read- only manner. However, this was not the original conception of the Web; as early as 1990, a prototype Web editor and browser was operational on the Next platform, demonstrating how Web content could be read and written. Unfortunately, most of the world never saw this editor/browser, instead developing their view of the Web from the widely distributed text-based line mode browser. When NCSA Mosaic was developed, it improved the line mode browser by adding a graphical user interface and inline images, but had no provision for editing. As Mosaic 2.4 reached critical mass in 1993-4, “publish/browse” became the dominant model for the Web. However, the original view of the Web as a readable and writable collaborative medium was not lost. In 1995 two browser/editor products were released: NaviPress by NaviSoft and FrontPage by Vermeer. These products began developing a market for authoring tools which allow a user to edit HyperText Markup Language (HTML) [Ragg97] pages remotely, taking advantage of the ability to work at a distance over the Internet. In early 1996, NaviSoft and Vermeer were purchased by America Online and Microsoft respec- tively, presaging major corporate interest in Web distributed authoring technology.

    05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 3 1 Introducing Cascading Style Sheets Cascading style sheets is a language intended to simplify website design and development. Put simply, CSS handles the look and feel of a web page. With CSS, you can control the color of text, the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid out, what back- ground images or colors are used, as well as a variety of other visual effects. CSS was created in language that is easy to learn and understand, but it provides powerful control over the presentation of a document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages HTML or XHTML. These markup languages contain the actual text you see in a web page — the hyperlinks, paragraphs, headings, lists, and tables — and are the glue of a web docu- ment. They contain the web page’s data, as well as the CSS document that contains information about what the web page should look like, and JavaScript, which is another language that pro- vides dynamic and interactive functionality. HTML and XHTML are very similar languages. In fact, for the majority of documents today, they are pretty much identical, although XHTML has some strict requirements about the type of syntax used. I discuss the differences between these two languages in detail in Chapter 2, and I also pro- vide a few simple examples of what each language looks like and how CSS comes together with the language to create a web page. In this chapter, however, I discuss the following: ❑ The W3C, an organization that plans and makes recommendations for how the web should functionCOPYRIGHTED and evolve MATERIAL ❑ How Internet documents work, where they come from, and how the browser displays them ❑ An abridged history of the Internet ❑ Why CSS was a desperately needed solution ❑ The advantages of using CSS 05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 4 Part I: The Basics The next section takes a look at the independent organization that makes recommendations about how CSS, as well as a variety of other web-specific languages, should be used and implemented.
