whitepaper A Distributed Security Announcement Authoring System With CAIF Support2006-09-20 University of Stuttgart
  Many Security Teams issue Security Announcements (aka Advisories) to their constituencies to provide them with up-to-date information about security problems in soft- or hardware and their mitigation by applying workarounds or patches. To be able to use the benefits of advanced document formats designed for this task, like the Common Announcement Interchange Format (CAIF), powerful software, that also implements an authoring process, is a prerequisite. This paper describes the architecture of and the authoring process implemented by a distributed authoring system based on but not limited to CAIF. It presents the parts of the system API to adapt, further develop, and integrate existing authoring systems, like the SIRIOS System into the distributed authoring process, based on web-service and classic RPC technology.

whitepaper Authoring Blackboard Learning System Content With Macromedia Flash 82006-06-02 Adobe Systems
  Many Learning Management Systems (LMS) now include HTML editors for simple content authoring, yet the functionality of these LMS content authoring tools is not particularly robust. Post-secondary institutions are looking beyond the content editors of most LMS's for a content authoring solution that allows automated production of interactive, media-rich, reusable learning content that is compatible with, but not permanently fused to, the LMS. The answer lies in the union of best-in-class content authoring tools and education-focused learning management systems. This paper explores the value of authoring academic content using Macromedia Flash to extend the capabilities and increase the return on investment of a campus LMS.

whitepaper Authoring E-Learning Content for WebCT Vista With Macromedia Dreamweaver 82006-06-02 Adobe Systems
  Learning Management Systems (LMS's) have become important tools for managing learning content in academic settings. While these systems excel in distributing and structuring learning content, however, they offer few options for page creation, incorporating only limited HTML editors. Faculty have solved this problem by turning to the Macromedia suite of web design tools, which supplement the LMS with full-featured design environments for creating compelling learning content. The LMS extension for Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 enables WebCT Vista users to develop sophisticated content using Dreamweaver's rich feature set and then deploy this content directly to WebCT Vista. This paper provides an overview of the benefits of using Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 to author content for WebCT Vista, along with an overview of the steps in the content-authoring process.

whitepaper Authoring Constraint-Based Tutors in ASPIRE2006-03-17 University of Canterbury
  This paper presents a project the goal of which is to develop ASPIRE, a complete authoring and deployment environment for constraint-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). ASPIRE is based on the previous work on constraint-based tutors and WETAS, the tutoring shell. ASPIRE consists of the authoring server (ASPIRE-Author), which enables domain experts to easily develop new constraint-base tutors, and a tutoring server (ASPIRE-Tutor), which deploys the developed systems. Preliminary evaluation shows that ASPIRE is successful in producing domain models, but more thorough evaluation is planned.   
whitepaper Application Security by Design2006-02-01 CompuWare
  Secure software is principally a software development problem. Its solution is the responsibility of every member of the software development team, from managers and support staff to developers, testers and IT staff. Every stage in the software lifecycle must include the appropriate security analysis, defenses and countermeasures that will result in the delivery of more secure code.

In this white paper by expert security firm Security Innovation, you'll:
  • Explore creative and contextual ways to think about software development
  • Learn best practices for the creation of secure code
  • Develop a new understanding of the engineering processes required to write robust and secure applications
