Wednesday morning keynote at Mobile+Web Devcon: Mobile Apps that Win - Achieving High Performance with Real-time Analytics - Presented by Steve Fox, Dell Software. Mobile users expect great performance from their apps. Slow apps languish unused and are often uninstalled or given bad reviews. And once a mobile app is labeled as slow — even if only because of one buggy version that slipped out — it can be difficult to recover market perception and corresponding business goals. This session will cover common challenges in achieving high performance for your app, techniques to minimize risk and negative perception, and how to monitor app performance based on real-time user experience so you can proactively address issues.

Edge computing pushes applications and data processing closer to data sources like IoT devices to enable faster results, real-time analytics, and better decision making. Docker is well-suited for application delivery in edge computing due to its lightweight containers that have a small footprint and fast start times. A demo showed containers for a learning management system deploying in seconds versus minutes for virtual machines. Offloading an ETL application to edge resources also significantly reduced bandwidth usage and processing time compared to alternatives that transferred all data to the cloud. Docker's portability and layered images make it a good fit for distributed application delivery in edge computing environments.

Edge computing pushes applications and data processing closer to data sources like IoT devices to enable low latency and real-time insights. Docker containers are well-suited for edge computing due to their small size, fast deployment, and ability to run on resource-constrained edge devices. A demo showed containers for a learning management system deployed in seconds at an edge location versus minutes for virtual machines. Offloading an ETL application to edge resources also significantly reduced bandwidth usage versus processing in the cloud. Docker provides a lightweight container-based platform to efficiently deliver and manage applications at the edge.

My key note speech at Droidcon 2012 promoting DT's leadership in the Smartphone Challenge initiative. Smartphones have catapulted the distribution of mobile apps to new highs with increased usage of mobile networks. The Smartphone challenge project goal is to optimise the interaction between devices & networks DT understand the threat from network intensive, badly designed applications and developed developer guidelines. DT alone cannot influence the market and we decided to leverage the support of GSMA, industry affiliates and developers themselves.

This document provides a summary of a masterclass on building distributed real-time systems using the Data Distribution Service (DDS). The class covers DDS concepts and technology, including runtime services, development tools, and standards. It discusses how DDS enables a data-centric model and global data space to support high-performance, scalable, and reliable real-time systems that interact directly with the physical world.

This document discusses testing the server side performance of mobile websites. It begins with introducing the importance and challenges of mobile performance testing. It then outlines an agenda covering differences between mobile and desktop usage, steps to take in testing including simple comparison, performance and load tests, and optimization strategies. Specifically, it recommends starting with basic tests to compare a site on desktop vs mobile, then using tools like WebPagetest to analyze performance, and finally gradually increasing load on servers. The overall goal is to help organizations prevent mobile performance issues through early and frequent testing.

The document proposes using the open source tool JMeter to perform mobile performance testing in a low-cost manner. It describes capturing the HTTP traffic between a mobile app and server by routing all requests from a real device through a proxy server with JMeter installed. This allows generating test scripts that closely mimic real-world usage without requiring expensive tools or emulators. The approach is device and application independent, producing accurate results without network latency issues encountered through other tools.

This document summarizes a research project that aims to display smart phone data like call logs, battery status, and SMS information on a desktop computer using Firebase. The project involves developing an Android application to collect device data and send it to a Firebase database. A web application is then created to retrieve the stored data from Firebase and display it on a desktop, allowing users to view their smart phone information from anywhere. The system is designed to address limitations of companies restricting smart phone use at work, enabling users to still access important phone updates from their computer. Firebase is used as the database for its low cost and ability to store mobile data.

This document discusses load testing of jQuery-based e-commerce websites using cloud-based performance testing tools. It provides an overview of load testing and describes how tools like BlazeMeter and Load Impact were used to test an Indian e-commerce site (Amazon.in). Graphs and results from testing on these tools are presented and described. The results help analyze the site's performance under different loads and identify potential bottlenecks.

The promise of DevOps is that we can push new ideas out to market faster while avoiding delivering serious defects into production. Andreas Grabner explains that testers are no longer measured by the number of defect reports they enter, nor are developers measured by the lines of code they write. As a team, you are measured by how fast you can deploy high quality functionality to the end user. Achieving this goal requires testers to increase their skills. It’s all about finding solutions—not just problems. Testers must transition from reporting “app crashes” to providing details such as “memory leak caused by bad cache implementation.” Instead of reporting “it’s slow,” testers must discover “wrong hibernate configuration causes too much traffic from the database.” Using three real-life examples, Andreas illustrates what it takes for testing teams to become part of the DevOps transformation—bringing more value to the entire organization.

The document discusses how social media usage has grown significantly from 2010 to 2011, with more people sharing what they are doing on Facebook and Twitter. It then introduces Viafo as a service that allows apps to integrate social and location-based features through a single gateway, rather than having to integrate directly with each individual network. This solves problems like dependency on third parties and needing to update integrations when networks change their APIs. The service aims to improve brand performance and user satisfaction by making social sharing easy within apps. It also discusses some new features Viafo is working on, like tools for regional social networks and gamification, as well as an example social blood donation app called BloodSprint.

The document outlines several mobile game projects created by student teams for the Century Council to promote responsible decision making around underage drinking.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html
