The Computer Revolution: An Economic Perspective
Authors: Daniel E. Sichel
Venue:  (1997)

:This book provides a straightforward guide to the economic issues behind the debates about the role of computers in the nation's economy. To set the stage, Daniel Sichel reviews the essential facts about computers in the economy, with a particular emphasis on software. Using quantitative and historical analysis, supplemented by interviews with business leaders and other professionals, Sichel assesses the aggregate economic impact of computers in recent decades and looks ahead to their future impact. When compared with the size of the slowdown in productivity growth in the 1970s, he finds that recent contributions of computers to growth seem relatively modest. And, looking ahead, Sichel suggests it is doubtful that these contributions will surge in coming years. Thus, despite the importance of information technology, some caution is in order; computers may not be a magic bullet for productivity growth.

Checking security of Java bytecode by abstract interpretation
Authors: Roberto Barbuti, Cinzia Bernardeschi, Nicoletta De Francesco
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We present a method to certify a subset of the Java bytecode, with respect to security. The method is based on abstract interpretation of the operational semantics of the language. We define a concrete small-step enhanced semantics of the language, able to keep information on the flow of data and control during execution. A main point of this semantics is the handling of the influence of the information flow on the operand stack. We then define an abstract semantics, keeping only the security information and forgetting the actual values. This semantics can be used as a static analysis tool to check security of programs. The use of abstract interpretation allows, on one side, being semantics based, to accept as secure a wide class of programs, and, on the other side, being rule based, to be fully automated.
Taming of the ring: context specific social mediation for communication devices
Authors: Celine Pering
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Taming of the Ring is an interactive system that lessens the problems of social disturbance caused by cell phone communication. As cell phone usage levels increase, social disturbance becomes an increasingly important issue. Callers and receivers have a need to discretely handle phone communication in delicate social situations. Early cell phone usage observations led to an interaction model hypothesis. A functional prototype was created to test the concept in the field. Preliminary results indicate that both calling and receiving users want more responsibility and control when placing phone calls, and that two remotely-mediated options, "hold" and "meeting," were enough to fill this communication need in the majority of situations.

DiamondTouch: a multi-user touch technology
Authors: Paul Dietz, Darren Leigh
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

A technique for creating a touch-sensitive input device is proposed which allows multiple, simultaneous users to interact in an intuitive fashion. Touch location information is determined independently for each user, allowing each touch on a common surface to be associated with a particular user. The surface generates location dependent, modulated electric fields which are capacitively coupled through the users to receivers installed in the work environment. We describe the design of these systems and their applications. Finally, we present results we have obtained with a small prototype device.
Fault-Tolerant Real-Time Systems: The Problem of Replica Determinism
Authors: Stefan Poledna
Venue:  (1996)

:The field of automotive electronics is an important application area of fault-tolerant real-time systems. Systems like anti-lock braking, engine control, active suspension or vehicle dynamics control have demanding real-time and fault-tolerance requirements. These requirements have to be met even in the presence of very limited resources since cost is extremely important. Because of its interesting properties Fault-Tolerant Real-Time Systems gives an introduction to the application area of automotive electronics. The requirements of automotive electronics are a topic in the remainder of this work for discussion and are used as a benchmark to evaluate solutions to the problem of replica determinism.
Adaptive blocks: a high performance data structure
Authors: Quentin F. Stout, Darren L. De Zeeuw, Tamas I. Gombosi, Clinton P. T. Groth, Hal G. Marshall, Kenneth G. Powell
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

We examine a data structure which uses flexible "adaptivity" to obtain high performance for both serial and parallel computers. The data structure is an adaptive grid which partitions a given region into regular cells. Its closest relatives are cell-based tree decompositions, but there are several important differences which lead to significant performance advantages. Using this block data structure to support adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), we were able to sustain 17 GFLOPS in ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the solar wind emanating from the base of the solar corona, using a 512 processor Cray T3D at NASA Goddard.

Interactive reconstruction of virtual environments from photographs, with application to scene-of-crime analysis
Authors: Simon Gibson, Toby Howard
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2000)

There are many real-world applications of Virtual Reality that require the construction of complex and accurate three-dimensional models, suitably structured for interactive manipulation. In this paper, we present semi-automatic methods that allow such environments to be quickly and easily built from photographs taken with uncalibrated cameras, and illustrate the techniques by application to the real-world problem of scene-of-crime reconstruction.
And And: conjunctive hypertext and the structure acteme juncture
Authors: Jim Rosenberg
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

In conjunctive hypertext, activities are combined into a whole as opposed to being alternatives. A single localized construct may contain several actemes. Their relationship may be ambiguous, they may be peers, may have space relationships or time relationships. The conjunction must be actualized, by such devices as co-presentation, delegated presentation, peer traverse, and subscreening. An incomplete conjunction contains pending structure which must be indicated. Actemes may have generalized boolean relationships. Larger-scale conjunctivity is related to narration issues, gathering, and other issues related to secondary structure.

An automated approach and virtual environment for generating maintenance instructions
Authors: Russell S. Blue, Jeff Wampler, G. Bowden Wise, Louis J. Hoebel, Boris Yamrom, Christopher R. Volpe, Bruce Wilde, Pascale Rondot, Ann E. Kelly, Anne Gilman, Wesley Turner, Steve Linthicum, George Ryon
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Maintenance of complex machinery such as aircraft engines requires reliable and accurate documentation, including illustrated parts catalogs (IPCs), exploded views, and technical manuals describing how to remove, inspect, repair and install parts. For new designs, there are often time constraints for getting a new engine to the field, and the available documentation must go with it. Authoring technical manuals is a complex process involving technical writers, engineers, as well as domain experts (mechanics and designers). Often, several revisions are required before a manual has correct IPC figures and maintenance instructions. Compounding this problem is that technical writers often perform tasks better suited for computers, leading to increased costs and error.In this demonstration, we describe a new framework to generate maintenance instructions from solid models (Computer Aided Design/CAD data) and then validate these instructions in a haptics-enabled virtual environment. Our approach utilizes natural language processing techniques to generate a presentation-independent logical form, which can be transformed for display within the virtual environment. During the development of the system, task analyses, human models, usability studies, and domain experts were used to gain insights. The end result is a more integrated and human-centered process for developing technical manuals, providing higher quality documents with less cost.
