The second annual Up Cloud training conference was held the week of 12/5/2011. The first two days of the conference were held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View California and streamed live over the Internet. The next three days were held as live virtual events. There were over 60 sessions and a dozen keynote presentations including presentations by IBM, Microsoft, PwC, Amazon and EMC that made for a great week of Cloud training. Attendance for the first two days was over 8,000 people. Read the rest of this entry »

University of Gothenburg researcher Niklas Broberg has developed Paragon, a programming language that automatically identifies potential information leaks while a program is being written. “Paragon is an extension of the commonly used programming language Java and has been designed to be easy to use,” enabling programmers to add new specifications to already created Java programs, Broberg says. Paragon works in two stages. The first stage specifies how information in the software can be used, who should be allowed to access it, and under what conditions. The second stage of security happens during compilation, where the program’s use of information is analyzed in depth. If the analysis identifies a risk for sensitive information leaking or being manipulated, the compiler reports an error, enabling the programmer to immediately resolve the issue. “Achieving information security in a system requires a chain of different measures, with the system only being as secure as its weakest link,” Broberg says.

I present more questions than answers in this post with the hope that others will join in and help all of us achieve a greater understanding of how organizations are dealing with the challenges of too many choices occurring at what seems like an ever-increasing speed.
It seems almost anywhere you look in the technical world you can see extensive variations of the associated technologies. For example, the world hasn’t seen just one or two programming languages, but according to some sources, several *thousand* (e.g., http://www.levenez.com/lang/), a significant percentage of which are still in use. As other examples, how many times has the concept of a text editor been (re)invented? How many web technologies are in play today? How many variations on operating systems are available?
