Einladung zum nächsten Vortrag:
23. Januar 2007, 17:30 Uhr
Uni Engehalde, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001, 1. UG
Titel:
Usability Assessments und User Centered Development - Methoden und deren
Anwendung in der Praxis
Referent:
Philipp Murkowsky, Zeix AG, Zürich
Abstract:
Die Verbreitung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien hat in den
letzten zehn Jahren massiv zugenommen. Handy, Computer und
Internet-Anschluss gehören mittlerweile zur Standard-Ausrüstung und sind aus
im privaten und beruflichen Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken.
Die rasante Ausbreitung dieser "neuen" Technologien verändert auch die
Ansprüche an deren Nutzbarkeit. Damit eine Technologie auf dem Massenmarkt
Erfolg haben kann, ist ein hohes Mass an Bedienungsfreundlichkeit
erforderlich. Viele Unternehmen haben dies inzwischen erkannt und versuchen,
ihre Produkte mit der Hilfe von Spezialisten benutzerfreundlich zu
gestalten.
Im Rahmen dieses Referates soll anhand von konkreten Beispielen und
Fallstudien aufgezeigt werden, wie Usability-Methoden in der Praxis
eingesetzt werden, um die Benutzerfreundlichkeit von Websites, Software und
dezidierten Geräten zu optimieren. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Usability
Assessments von bestehenden und der Nutzer-zentrierten Entwicklung von neuen
Produkten.
Der Referent, Philipp Murkowsky, hat an der Universtität Bern allgemeine
Psychologie und Sozialpsychologie studiert und arbeitet seit über zwei
Jahren als Usability Consultant bei der Firma Zeix in Zürich. Zeix ist mit
18 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern die grösste unabhängige
Usability-Consulting Firma in der Schweiz und testet und entwickelt Produkte
für namhafte Auftraggeber wie Swisscom, SBB, Scout24, Credit Suisse und die
Verwaltungen von Bund und Kantonen.
Freundliche Grüsse und frohe Festtage

Der CHOOSE Vorstand ist erfreut, Sie an einen Vortrag von Dr. Eric
Dubuis (Berner Fachhochschule, Fachbereich Informatik des Departements
Technik und Informatik) über 'Sicherheit in Web Services' einzuladen.
Dieses Referat ist Teil einer Vortragsreihe, welche von SWEN organisiert
wird. Da die Materie auch für CHOOSE Mitglieder von Interesse ist, wird
das Referat in Kooperation der beiden Organisationen durchgeführt.
Der gemeinnützige Verein SWEN (http://www.swen.fhz.ch/) ist die ideale
Verbindung aus (Fach-) Hochschul-Fachkräften im Informatikumfeld und
routinierten Partnern aus Industrie und Wirtschaft. Damit integriert
SWEN das Software Engineering-Know-how in der Schweiz und bildet die
Ansprechstelle für Fragestellungen im Umfeld des Software Engineerings.
Die Teilnahme ist für SI-CHOOSE und SWEN Mitglieder sowie Gäste
kostenlos. Die Gäste werden nach dem Vortrag ja vielleicht einem der
beiden Vereine beitreten wollen. Sie finden die jeweiligen
Beitrittsformular unter http://www.s-i.ch/, bzw.

Agenda
------
17.15 Uhr bis ca. 18.15 Uhr Vortrag.
Anschliessend sind Sie zu einem Apéro eingeladen.
Abstract
========
Das Referat behandelt zuerst kurz die Web Service- und
Sicherheitsgrundlagen. Die wichtigsten Begriffe wie XML und SOAP
einerseits sowie symmetrische und asymmetrische Verschlüsselung,
digitale Signaturen und digitale Zertifikate andererseits werden
erläutert. Allgemeine Sicherheitsanforderungen bilden den Anfang des
Hauptteils. Ausgehend von den generellen Sicherheitsanforderungen wird
anhand ausgewählter Szenarien gezeigt, welche Massnahmen in Web
Service-Anwendungen getroffen werden müssen, damit sie die verlangten
Sicherheitsanforderungen erfüllen können.
Das Referat zeigt auf:
- Wie werden digitale Signaturen und digitale Verschlüsselung bei
Web Services angewandt?
- Wie kann Vertrauen zwischen verschiedenen Vertrauensdomänen geschafft
werden?

ABSTRACT
--------
Although object-oriented software systems are built to last, over time
they degrade as much as any legacy software system. As a consequence,
one must invest in reengineering efforts to keep further development
costs down. Even though software systems and their business contexts may
differ in countless ways, the techniques one uses to understand, analyze
and transform these systems tend to be very similar. As a consequence,
one may identify various reengineering patterns that capture best
practice in reverse- and re-engineering object-oriented legacy systems.
We present a brief outline of a large collection of these patterns that
have been mined over several years of experience with object-oriented
legacy systems, and we indicate how some of these patterns can be
supported by appropriate tools.

CHOOSE Forum 2006
on
"Assessing Software Quality in Products and Processes"
and
CHOOSE General Assembly
http://www.choose.s-i.ch/events.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------
CALL OF PARTICIPATION
Conference of the Swiss Group for Object-Oriented Systems and
Environments (CHOOSE)
Monday December 18, 2006 — Full day
Allegro Grand Casino Kursaal Bern
Bern
On-line registration and a preliminary program for this event are now
available on the CHOOSE web site: http://www.choose.s-i.ch/events.html
Abstract
--------------------------------------
Software quality is a major challenge for the kinds of software
systems that are developed these days. Modern software systems are
increasingly large, complex, heterogeneous and open. Both product and
process quality attributes have a major impact on development and
release cycles.
This CHOOSE Forum offers a series of presentations from experts that
come from academia and industry and share their insights into
software quality assessment. Newest technologies together with
lessons learned cover aspects in products and processes. This forum
addresses questions such as:
.) What are effective means for quality assessment?
.) What is the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice in
quality engineering?
.) What is the impact of software architecture on quality attributes?
.) How can Reengineering contribute to quality assessment?
The day will conclude with a discussion session in which paths should
be sketched where to go from here for better quality engineering.
The day also includes the CHOOSE General Assembly, including reports
from the President and the Treasurer, and elections for the CHOOSE
Executive Board.

TOOLS EUROPE 2007
Objects, Models, Components, Patterns
ETH Zurich, Switzerland 24-28 June 2007
http://tools.ethz.ch/
============================================================================
Call for Papers
TOOLS EUROPE 2007 will be devoted to the combination of technologies that
have emerged as a result of object technology becoming "mainstream". Like
its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE 2007 combines an emphasis on quality with a
strong practical focus.
This is the 45th TOOLS conference. Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held
in Europe, the USA, Australia, China and Eastern Europe, have played a major
role in the development of object technology field; many of the seminal
concepts were first presented at TOOLS. After an interruption of four years,
the conference is now revived to reflect the maturing of the field and the
new challenges ahead.
Contributions are solicited on all aspects of object technology and
neighbouring fields, in particular model-based development, component-based
development, and patterns (design, analysis and other applications); more
generally, any contribution addressing topics in advanced software
technology fall within the scope of TOOLS. Reflecting the practical emphasis
of TOOLS, contributions showcasing applications along with a sound
conceptual contribution are particularly welcome. For a non-exclusive list
of potential topic areas see the conference Web page.
Submission Guidelines
All contributions will be subject to a rigorous selection process by the
international Program Committee, with a stress on originality, practicality
and overall quality. Every paper will be reviewed by at least 4 committee
members. The acceptance rate will be published in the conference
proceedings; TOOLS is committed to a fair and extensive peer-review process
establishing a high standard in the area of modern practices in software
engineering.
By submitting a paper to TOOLS, authors warrant that the work is original
and that the paper or a similar contribution is neither published nor
considered for publication elsewhere. Submissions should follow the
publication format of the Journal of Object Technology (JOT). Papers should
be limited in size to 20 single-spaced pages. Further details are available
from the website.
Important Dates
Deadline for technical papers: February 1, 2007, midnight Zurich time
Author notification: April 15, 2007
Camera-ready copy due: May 15, 2007
The proceedings will be published as a special issue of the Journal of
Object Technology.
TOOLS EUROPE will also include workshops and tutorials (June 24), a poster
session, and a venture forum (June 28). See the corresponding calls for
contributions.
