19 Oct '03

Guten Tag Um es vorwegzunehmen, wir würden Sie als Mitwirkenden in der Open Source Bewegung am Freitag, 24. Oktober 2003 gerne an der Universität Bern als Teilnehmer des Kickoff-Meetings begrüssen dürfen. Worum es geht: Wir sind im Begriff eine Plattform zu initiieren, bei welcher sich Open Source Entwickler mit hochwertigen Lösungen einem interessierten Publikum aus den Bereichen KMU, Dienstleister, Bund, Kantonen, Gemeinden, Forschung und Industrie vorstellen können. Reger Ideen- und Gedankenaustausch und die Förderung der Open Source-Idee sowie den Aufbau von Geschäftsbeziehungen sind unsere Hauptanliegen. Die Veranstaltung soll eine Ergänzung zu den bestehenden Technik-lastigen Events und Manager-Tagungen bieten und nach dem Bottom-Up-Prinzip organisiert werden. Dazu führen wir am Freitag, 24. Oktober 2003 ein Orientierungs-Treffen durch, das uns eine Tuchfühlung mit Entwicklern, Dienstleistern und Anwender erlaubt. Mit besonderer Freude haben wir Wolfgang Tietz, Informatikstrategieorgan Bund, Leiter des Bereichs Architekturen, Standards und Technologien, als Keynote-Referenten gewinnen können. Er wird über die Erfahrungen der Bundesverwaltung mit Open Source Software und deren zukünftigem Einsatz beim Bund berichten. Ausserdem wird Oscar Nierstrasz, Professor am Institut für angewandte Mathematik an der Universität Bern, als Patron des Events seine Unterstützung dafür bekanntgeben. Und nicht zu letzt sind Sie als Teilnehmer gefragt, Ihre Vorstellungen einer Open Source Begegnungs-Plattform einem interessierten Publikum kund zu tun. Gerne können Sie uns bereits im Vorfeld des Orientierungs-Treffens Ihre Meinung und Ideen mitteilen. Nachfolgendend das Programm des Kickoff-Veranstaltung am Freitag, 24. Oktober 2003: 17.30h Begrüssung durch Veranstalter 17.40h Keynote-Referat von Wolfgang Tietz 18.00h Fragen an Wolfgang Tietz 18.15h Pause mit Apero und Getränken 18.30h Vorstellung des Events im Februar 2004 19.00h Offenes Mikrofon, Diskussion im Plenum 20.00h Offizielles Ende, Abendessen in einem Berner Restaurant Die Veranstaltung findet statt an der Universität Bern, Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik, Engehaldenstrasse 8, Raum 001.

6.11.03: DirectJava®: Automated Smalltalk to Java Migration Tool
by JUGS Events 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Dear CHOOSE-Member We are glad to invite you to another talk given by Olivier Picot, Object-ive: 6.11.03: DirectJava®: Automated Smalltalk to Java Migration Tool For more information see below or <http://www.jugs.ch/html/events.html> (with online registration form). Best Regards, The JUGS Board ---------------------------------------------------------------- DirectJava®: Automated Smalltalk to Java Migration Tool ======================================================= 6.11.03 Technopark Zurich, Room Cobol Travel instructions: <http://www.technopark.ch> > Kontakt > Lageplan direct Link to frame content: <http://www.technopark.ch/play/german/kontakt/11200.cfm> SPEAKER ------- Olivier Picot, Object-ive AGENDA ------ 17:00 - 18:15h: Talk incl. Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. ABSTRACT -------- Java has taken the world by storm. Its vibrant and dynamic platform offers today a real alternative to older languages, even those as established as Smalltalk. Factors such as uncertainty in terms of vendor support, or expert staff shortages should increase significantly the need for Smalltalk to Java migrations. Indeed, re-development is a very costly and lengthy alternative, frought with risks. Smalltalk and Java show significant differences, posing problems when attempting to automate a translation process (for instance, dynamic typing versus static typing or the fact that blocks do not exist in Java). DirectJava is a 4-step iterative process : Automated Smalltalk source code analysis, Types Detection, Correspondence Repository building, and the Translation Engine itself. Specific code translation examples illustrate how DirectJava is able to deliver such a high degree of accuracy in automated translation. Case Study: CCR (Caisse Centrale de Réassurance) part of the top 25 reinsurers in the world has successfully migrated applications of over 1 million lines of code from VA Smalltalk into VA Java using DirectJava. BIOGRAPHY --------- Olivier Picot is the founder and General manager of Object'ive, a company specialized in Object-Oriented Technology. He has 10 years experience in software architecture and engineering, and is the main developer behind DirectJava, an automated translation tool from Smallalk to Java. His experience includes software development for IBM as well as consulting in the area of application migrations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail.

Kolloquium vom 21.10.2003
by Sabine Gerber 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

Einladung zum ersten Vortrag im Wintersemester 2003/2004: Dienstag, 21. Oktober 2003, 17.30 Uhr in der Uni Engehalde, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 (1. UG) Referent: Dr. Leszek Lilien (Department of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA) Developing Pervasive Trust Paradigm for Authentication and Authorization Traditionally, authentication and authorization (A&A) in computer systems guard only user interfaces, thus providing only a perimeter defense against attacks. We search for an A&A approach that satisfies the requirements of multiple lines of defense and defense in depth. After reviewing and classifying a variety of security paradigms, we propose the paradigm of pervasive trust. It is analogous to a social model of interaction, where trust is constantly --if often unconsciously-- applied. In an initial study performed in our lab, we investigate using trust for the perimeter-defense A&A model, in which the capability to use trust ratings for users was applied for enhancing the role-based access control mechanism. Dr. Leszek Lilien received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh. His research at Purdue University concentrates on trusted computing and computer security.

[Tutorial] SCRUM: A Methodology to Keep the Team Going
by ducasse 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

SSUG the Swiss Smalltalk User Group in collaboration with CHOOSE is glad to invite you to the next half-day tutorial given by J. Pelrine (MetaProg GmbH): "SCRUM: A Methodology to Keep the Team Going" on tuesday, October 14th 2003 from 14h to 18h at the IAM Room 001. http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ssug/Events/20031014.html Scrum, one of the agile processes, has been used to develop systems and products since 1995 on thousands of projects in hundreds of organizations. Scrum implements in several days and delivers increments of functionality within thirty days. Scrum wraps existing engineering practices. Because Scrum is a development management process, it has also been used for such projects as marketing, research, and hardware product development. In this talk, we'll discuss how Scrum and all agile processes work, the theory behind them and their underlying practices of inspection and adaptation. Then weíll look at Scrum's detailed practices of iterations, increments of code, emergence of requirements and design, and self-organization of teams. Through these practices, Scrum introduces a heartbeat of regular productivity to an organization that foments customer and engineering collaboration. If XP is wrapped by Scrum, XP's engineering practices ensure the quality of this code and stability of the emerging product, while Scrum provides the organizational framework which allows development to flourish.

Biography Joseph Pelrine is CO of MetaProg, a company devoted to increasing the quality of software and its development process. He has had a successful career as software developer, project manager and consultant, and has spoken about it at such diverse places as IBM, OOPSLA and the Chaos Computer Club. In addition to being one of Europeís most experienced eXtreme Programming practitioners and coaches, he is also Europe's first certified ScrumMaster.
