Linux Network Administrator's Guide
Authors: Olaf Kirch
Venue:  (1994)

:Linux, a UNIX-compatible operating system that runs on personal computers, is a pinnacle within the free software movement. It is based on a kernel developed by Finnish student Linus Torvalds and is distributed on the Net or on low-cost disks, along with a complete set of UNIX libraries, popular free software utilities, and traditional layered products like NFS and the X Window System. Linux is sweeping Europe, winning adherents in North America, and generating enthusiasm worldwide. Part of Linux's appeal is the unstructured and far-flung manner in which it grew. Self-styled hackers from many countries created it. Maintenance and support are distributed in a similar manner. And even its documentation -- from installation instructions through manual pages and full-length guides -- is the product of a volunteer effort, the Linux Documentation Project. Networking is a fundamental part of Linux. As a stand-alone computer system it is impressive enough, but sooner or later you, the user, are going to want to send someone a file, mount a file system from another computer, read Usenet news, or search the World Wide Web. Whether you want a simple UUCP connection or a full LAN with NFS and NIS, you are going to have to build a network. One of the most successful books to come from the Linux Documentation Project is the Linux Network Administrator's Guide by Olaf Kirch. It touches on all the essential networking software included with Linux, plus some hardware considerations. Topics include: Introduction to TCP/IP Configuring network and serial hardware Domain Name Service Serial line communications using SLIP and PPP NIS and NFS Taylor UUCP Administering electronic mail, including smail and Sendmail+IDA Administering Netnews, including C News, NNTP, and several news readers
Managing crosscutting concerns during software evolution tasks: an inquisitive study
Authors: Elisa L. A. Baniassad, Gail C. Murphy, Christa Schwanninger, Michael Kircher
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

Code is modularized, for many reasons, including making it easier to understand, change, and verify. Aspect-oriented programming approaches extend the kind of code that can be modularized, enabling the modularization of crosscutting code. We conducted an inquisitive study to better understand the kinds of crosscutting code that software developers encounter and to better understand how the developers manage this code. We tracked eight participants: four from industry and four from academia. Each participant was currently evolving a non-trivial software system. We interviewed these participants three times about crosscutting concerns they had encountered and the strategies they used to deal with the concerns. We found that crosscutting concerns tended to emerge as obstacles that the developer had to consider to make the desired change. The strategy used by the developer to manage the concern depended on the form of the obstacle code. The results of this study provide empirical evidence to support the problems identified by the aspect-oriented programming community, and provide a basis on which to further assess aspect-oriented programming.

Scenario-based stability anlysis of the distributed mobility-adaptive clustering (DMAC) algorithm
Authors: Christian Bettstetter, Roland Krausser
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

Adaptive distributed clustering algorithms and respective protocols are used in wireless ad hoc networks to dynamically organize all nodes into groups and hierarchites. In this paper, we investigate the Distributed Mobility-Adaptive Clustering (DMAC) algorithm proposed in [6]. In particular, we evaluate how the cluster stability (i.e., the number of clusterhead elections, cluster changes per time step, and cluster lifetime) is influenced by the speed, the choice of the weight, and the failure rate of nodes. We performed simulations in a scenario with an enhanced random mobility model and in a realistic campus scenario that includes hot spots and streets

The Soul of Cyberspace: How New Technology Is Changing Our Spiritual Lives
Authors: Jeff Zaleski
Venue:  (1997)

:The Soul of Cyberspace, in a pioneering journey through religion's newest, strangest, and most exhilarating frontier, reveals the new technological face of religion and explores the fascinating challenges posed by our colonization of cyberspace. Taking readers on a tour of electronic faith - to websites established by Baptists and Buddhists, Mormons and Muslims, to virtual congregations and Internet chaplaincies, cybermissionaries and virtual monasteries - Zaleski introduces us to the trailblazing believers and the cautious faithful of cyberspace. He explores the profound questions raised by cyberspace: Will cyberchurches make ministers obsolete? Will the communities of church, temple, and mosque vanish? Can religious rituals take place on PC screens, and can sacred space be found in the midst of cyberspace's distractions and noise? Can we locate divinity - even electronic "deities" - in the folds of cyberspace? In conversations with the new metaphysicians and critics of cyberspace - John Perry Barlow, Jaron Lanier, Mark Pesce, and others - Zaleski reveals how technology is changing our visions of spirituality, worship, and the sacred.

An access control language for web services
Authors: Emin Gün Sirer, Ke Wang
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

This paper presents an approach for formally specifying and enforcing security policies on web service implementations. Networked services in general, and web services in particular, require extensive amounts of code to ensure that clients respect site-integrity constraints. We provide a language by which these constraints can be expressed and enforced automatically, portably and efficiently. Security policies in our system are specified in a language based on temporal logic, and are processed by an enforcement engine to yield site and platform-specific access control code. This code is integrated with a web server and platform-specific libraries to enforce the specified policy on a given web service. Our approach decouples the security policy specification from service implementations, provides a mandatory access control model for web services, and achieves good performance. We show that up to 22% of the code in a traditional web service module is dedicated to security checking functionality, including checks for client sequencing and parameter validation. We show that our prototype language implementation, WebGuard, enables web programmers to significantly reduce the amount of security checking code they need to develop manually. The quality of the code generated by WebGuard from formal policy specifications is competitive with the latency of handcrafted code to within a few percent.

Proxy Viewpoints Model-based Requirements engineering
Authors: Seok Won Lee
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper addresses the problem of the "missing requirements" in software requirement specification (SRS) expressed in natural language. Due to rapid changes in technology and business frequently witnessed over time, the original SRS documents often experience the problems of missing, not available, and hard-to-locate requirements. One of the flaws in earlier solutions to this problem has no consideration for missing requirements from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, since such SRS documents represent an incomplete domain model, manual discovery (identification and incorporation) of missing requirements is highly labor intensive and error-prone. Consequently, deriving and improving an efficient adaptation of SRS changes remain a complex problem. In this paper, we present a new methodology entitled "Proxy Viewpoints Model-based Requirements Discovery (PVRD)". Through the requirements discovery and analysis process, PVRD methodology provides ways to construct proxy viewpoints model from legacy status requirements. Requirements term expansion technique facilitates the retrieval process of requirements of interest based on the improved requirements representation space in proxy viewpoints model. The PVRD methodology provides an integrated environment that supports requirements discovery process as well as efficient management.
Voice as sound: using non-verbal voice input for interactive control
Authors: Takeo Igarashi, John F. Hughes
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

We describe the use of non-verbal features in voice for direct control of interactive applications. Traditional speech recognition interfaces are based on an indirect, conversational model. First the user gives a direction and then the system performs certain operation. Our goal is to achieve more direct, immediate interaction like using a button or joystick by using lower-level features of voice such as pitch and volume. We are developing several prototype interaction techniques based on this idea, such as "control by continuous voice", "rate-based parameter control by pitch," and "discrete parameter control by tonguing." We have implemented several prototype systems, and they suggest that voice-as-sound techniques can enhance traditional voice recognition approach.
