This talk will prove the sexyness of C++ template metaprogramming (TMP), by showing real world use cases and simple ad hoc library solutions which use TMP. The given samples will cover a large field of problems, like domain-specific embedded languages, parser generators, lambda libraries and regular expression matching. These samples will show the wide range of applicationareas of TMP and how it a...

Die Herkunft von Daten, die auch als Provenance bezeichnet wird, spielt eine große Rolle in der Wissenschaft. Informationen über die Nutzer, die die Daten bearbeitet haben, Software, die Daten berechnet haben und Instrumente, die Daten produziert haben, sind dabei besonders wichtig. Um die Herkunft genau rekonstruieren zu können, werden verschiedene Technologien eingesetzt. Ein wichtiger Bestandte...

Love it or hate it, but correct licensing is an important component of every free software and open source project. This is especially true as an increasing number of corporations are adopting and distributing open source applications and code. This talk will therefore give an overview of the current state of open source licensing and will discuss efforts currently underway to improve the status q...

Da wird zum 30igsten Male die ach so witzige Präsentation auf einem Server gespeichert, um sie noch einer Kollegin, einem Kollegen zu zeigen. 30 Windows VMs, in denen eigentlich das gleiche Windows ist. Eigentlich Platzverschwendung, wenn man die Doubletten beseitigen würde. Deduplication kann das? Aber wie funktioniert sie? Wie sehen die unterschiedlichen Implementationen aus? Wofür kann man sie...

Although creating graphics though software is easy, with many different libraries available to do so, interpreting images isn't so common. By using the OpenCV image processing library, it is possible to be able to detect features in images, such as people's faces and other objects, and process them further. This presentation will show how. about this event: http://programm.froscon.org/2011/events/...

A brief look at the history of the Openmoko project, what lead to its (perceived) failure, and why even despite that it was very valuable for the free and open source community. We're then discussing at what's left behind and what the future holds. about this event: http://programm.froscon.org/2011/events/713.en.html

In diesem Vortrag wird eine Web-2.0-Applikation vorgestellt, mit der Umfragen durchgeführt werden können. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Anwendungen muss bei dieser dem Serveradministrator nicht vertraut werden. Die notwendigen kryptographischen Protokolle, welche für die Vertrauensreduktion nötig sind, werden mit JavaScript durchgeführt, was keinerlei clientseitige Installation nötig macht (zero-footpri...

Flying hardware must perform its intended function under harsh environmental conditions while fulfilling strict requirements due to boundary conditions like weight, size, and power consumption. The design must exhibit redundancy and resilience against adversary conditions and special care has to be given to thermal management and energy sources. We will discuss design rules to cope with specific p...
