Web Engineering Security (WES) Methodology

The impact of the World Wide Web on basic operational economical components in global information-rich civilizations is significant. The repercussions force organizations to provide justification for security from a business-case perspective and to focus on security from a Web application development environment standpoint. The need for clarity promoted an investigation through the acquisition of empirical evidence from a high level Web survey and a more detailed industry survey to analyze security in the Web application development environment ultimately contributing to the proposal of the Essential Elements (EE) and the Security Criteria for Web Application Development (SCWAD). The synthesis of information provided was used to develop the Web Engineering Security (WES) methodology. WES is a proactive, flexible, process neutral security methodology with customizable components that is based on empirical evidence and used to explicitly integrate security throughout an organization’s chosen application development process

A zoned architecture for large-scale evolution

ABSTRACT This position paper describes our notion of zones to support the incremental evolution of persistent application systems. We focus on the motivation for our work and the basic concepts underlying our zoned architecture (ZEST)

An Organisation for Napier88 Libraries - Describing Glasgow Libraries Version 2.0

This document concentrates on issues establishing a regular structure for the libraries. It is important that those planning to contribute to these libraries read this document. Programmers using the libraries should find enough information via the interactive tools and in the various documents describing the contents of each library. There are three reasons for developing these libraries: 1 to provide a set of useful, trustworthy and easily located collections of procedures and data types; 2 to demonstrate how persistence facilitates the provision and maintenance of libraries; and 3 to evaluate a methodology for organising libraries in persistent stores. The libraries developed at Glasgow are in an environment called GlasgowLibraries in the root environment, denoted in this document as Roo
