Operationalising OGC Processes with Application Packages in ILIAD: A Service ...Marco Amaro Oliveira
油
This contribution presents the integration of the EO Application Package model into the ILIAD Digital Twin of the Ocean architecture, using the OGC API Processes DRU specification. Built on the EOEPCA framework and OGC best practices and specifications, the approach enables standardized, containerized EO applications packaged with CWL to run across a wide range of infrastructures including Kubernetes and HPC. These applications are already in use across several platforms, and in ILIAD they have been applied to models such as oil spill forecasting, aquaculture, wave energy, and ship routing.
The EDITO platform supports OGC API Processes but is currently optimized for simpler workflows using environment variables. To enhance compatibility with EO Application Packages, ILIAD introduces a Kubernetes-based ADES implementation, enabling dynamic execution and integration with EDITO's object store and metadata catalog. The experience is also informing the evolution of the OGC Best Practice, and practical solutions for bridging architectural gaps will be discussed.
Paired Sketching of Distributed User Interfaces:Workflow, Protocol, Software ...Jean Vanderdonckt
油
Paper pr辿sented at ACM EICS '25:
The evolving landscape of distributed user interfaces requires the prototyping stage also be distributed between users, tasks, platforms, and environments. To create a cohesive distribution of the user interface elements in such ecosystems, paired sketching has emerged as a collaborative design method that leverages multiple stakeholders strengths, including designers, developers, and end users, working in pairs. In the context of developer experience applied to paired sketching for distributed
user interfaces, we decomposed a workflow into four disciplines according to the Software and Systems Process Engineering
Meta-Model (SPEM) notation. First, we defined a protocol to deploy paired sketching of distributed user interfaces, supported
by UbiSketch, a collaborative software environment tailored featuring sketch recognition and whiteboarding. Second, to
evaluate paired sketching for engineering interactive systems, we conducted an experiment involving five pairs of stakeholders
who sketched a distributed user interface for inside-the-vehicule interaction distributed on four platforms: smartphone, tablet, pen display, and tabletop. Empirical results from questionnaires, reactivity, intention, perceived satisfaction, and free comments, suggest a preference order in which the tabletop is ranked first, followed by the tablet, smartphone, and pen display. Based on these results, we discuss the potential of paired sketching for distributed user interfaces.

This slide introduces our study titled "Study of Appropriate Information Combination in Image-based Obfuscated Malware Detection", which was presented at DSN2025.
To tackle the threat of obfuscated malware, our study proposes an image-based detection method that combines four types of informationbyte values, entropy, semantic information, and bigrams frequencyfrom Windows PE executable files. Proposed method is evaluated in a realistic environment containing both obfuscated and non-obfuscated benign and malicious files. Evaluation results show that combining these information types achieves 88.66% accuracy, demonstrating the effectiveness of information combination for detecting obfuscated malware.
An Analysis Of The Pearl Short Story By John SteinbeckBillyDarmawan3
油
John Steinbeck Popular Short Story
The Pearl adalah sebuah novella yang ditulis oleh John Steinbeck yang mengisahkan perjuangan seorang nelayan miskin bernama Kino dan istrinya, Juana, yang hidup sederhana di sebuah desa kecil Meksiko. Suatu hari, Kino menemukan sebuah mutiara raksasa "the Pearl of the World" yang diyakini akan mengubah nasib mereka.
Namun, alih-alih membawa kebahagiaan, mutiara itu justru menimbulkan keserakahan, kekerasan, dan penderitaan. Masyarakat di sekitarnya mulai menunjukkan niat jahat, dan bahkan keluarga Kino sendiri terjebak dalam konflik batin antara harapan dan kehancuran. Pada akhirnya, The Pearl menjadi simbol ironi: sesuatu yang tampak sebagai berkah berubah menjadi kutukan.
Melalui cerita ini, Steinbeck mengeksplorasi tema keserakahan, harapan, kemiskinan, dan ketimpangan sosial. Dengan gaya narasi yang lugas namun penuh makna simbolik, The Pearl menjadi refleksi tajam tentang sifat manusia dan dampak tragis dari keinginan yang tak terkendali.
