Van Horn to Fuchsia: Capability-based Access Control

Contrary to what I have said yesterday, it is actually much easier if you set up the groups yourself in the CMS, rather than sending me an email. The functionality is available on your personal site in CMS, same place you can also find your submissions. One group has already found it, you can just ignore this message.

Team groupings can be changed until the beginning of the next seminar session, then they are fixed.

As mentioned in yesterday’s session, I would like to once again draw your attention to the research papers and links included in the further readings. In particular, having a basic understanding of SES and Cap’n Web before our next meeting would greatly enrich the discussion. You are not required to submit something about them, but of course, sending questions in advance is highly encouraged and very welcome.

As discussed yesterday, I re-arranged the Miro board slightly according to our discussion and left some questions that could help you extract interesting insights from the papers for next week. The questions are definitely not exhaustive, please do not limit yourself to answering them. In fact, feel free to ignore them entirely and provide your own, more interesting points :)

Side-note: Please remember that we are interested in your views and insights for the submissions, not summaries.

Please remember to read the 5 Papers on Capabilities in General found in the materials section and submit the respective short takeaways / own thoughts on the paper. Of course you can also include questions if understanding was difficult so we can prepare accordingly.

The reading is essential so the fun part of the seminar, the informed discussion, can start right away.
