RMI and CORBA Why both are valuable toolselliando dias This document summarizes the key differences between RMI and CORBA. RMI is a pure Java solution that is integrated into the Java platform and allows for dynamic codebase and object-oriented communication. CORBA supports multiple languages but is harder to use, requires additional infrastructure, and only allows for structured communication through IDL definitions. Both tools are continually evolving, with RMI improving performance and CORBA working to support pass by value across heterogeneous systems. While each has strengths for certain problems, both RMI and CORBA provide valuable tools for building distributed systems.

Cucumber
CucumberNagaraddi SS Cucumber is a software tool that uses plain English descriptions to define desired software behaviors and then automates testing of those behaviors. It separates the tasks of designing software functionality from implementing code by using feature files written in plain English to define what the software should do, and step definition files written in code to implement the behaviors and run automated tests. Cucumber provides benefits like facilitating thinking about features in business terms rather than code, focusing tests on important data, and enabling non-developers to understand test cases.

Writing DSL's in Scala
Writing DSL's in ScalaAbhijit Sharma Scala is well-suited for building internal domain-specific languages (DSLs) due to its functional programming capabilities and static typing. Some key advantages of using Scala for DSLs include its elegant and succinct syntax, type inference, implicit conversions, higher-order functions, pattern matching, and for-comprehensions. These features allow building DSLs that are concise yet expressive for the domain and prevent invalid operations. The document provides examples of using Scala to build DSLs for tasks like defining cloud computing resources and processing machine specifications.

Rake: Not Your Father's Build Tool
Rake: Not Your Father's Build Toolfilmprog Rake is a build tool created in 2003 that allows tasks to be specified using Ruby code rather than an external DSL. It uses a dependency-based approach where tasks only run when their dependencies are satisfied. This allows tasks to be run efficiently in parallel using features like multitasking. Rake provides common build tasks and utilities out of the box and integrates well with projects like Ruby on Rails.
Metaprogramming patterns
Metaprogramming patternsGlenn Espinosa Metaprogramming techniques in Ruby can be used to create beautiful domain-specific languages (DSLs). The document discusses four patterns: 1) Configuration options allow global configuration through a block interface. 2) Situational languages offer a flexible interface through aliasing singular and plural methods. 3) Declarative DSLs set up classes declaratively with common functionality. 4) Flexible interfaces allow many entries with the same structure and reduce scoping for common functionality. The overall goal is to reduce redundancy for users through powerful yet beautiful DSLs.
Sprache als Werkzeug: DSLs mit Kotlin (JAX 2020)
Sprache als Werkzeug: DSLs mit Kotlin (JAX 2020)Frank Scheffler Domänenspezifische Sprachen (engl. DSLs) sind seit jeher dazu geeignet, komplexe Ausdrücke kompakter und besser lesbar auszudrücken. Dabei befreien sie den Benutzer von der Notwendigkeit, wiederkehrende Programmfragmente zu pflegen. Sie reduzieren den Blick auf den wesentlichen Inhalt der zugrunde liegenden Domäne. Während es an sinnvollen Anwendungsgebieten von DSLs nicht mangelt, sind deren Funktionsweise und Erstellung oftmals zu Unrecht als Mysterium verschrieen. Domänenspezifische Sprachen unterteilen sich grundsätzlich in externe und interne DSLs. Externe DSLs definieren eine unabhängige eigene Sprache, z. B. Xtend oder SQL. Daher bedarf es zu deren Ausführung einer eigenständigen Syntaxanalyse, -validierung und eines Compilers oder Interpreters. Interne DSLs basieren auf Host-Programmiersprachen. Daher ist ihr Sprachumfang nicht abgeschlossen, sondern lässt sich durch deren Sprachelemente erweitern. Kotlin bietet mit Extension Functions und Lambdas with Receivers ideale Voraussetzungen für die Erstellung interner DSLs. Dies zeigt auch ein Blick auf die ständig wachsende Zahl von Kotlin-basierten DSLs, wie z. B. der Kotlin Gradle DSL oder der Spring Beans DSL. In diesem Vortrag sollen die Grundlagen zur Erstellung eigener DSLs mit Kotlin vermittelt werden. Anhand eines praxisorientierten Beispiels wird schrittweise eine DSL während des Vortrags erstellt.
Modern Webdevelopment With Ruby On Rails
Modern Webdevelopment With Ruby On RailsRobert Glaser Ruby on Rails is a web application framework created in 2004 and extracted from the authors' work on Basecamp. It is a full-stack framework that provides default structures and tools for database access, templating, routing and more. The framework emphasizes conventions over configuration and follows patterns like MVC and REST to provide a pragmatic approach to building web applications. Testing and agile development practices are also core to how Rails applications are built.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
