Is a modern, robust Windows XP lab environment better than an older, simpler Windows NT4 environment?
Authors: Bert Valenzuela
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

As in many academic computer labs and classrooms, we face the issues of furnishing a solid MS Windows environment that provides a variety of features and services. Currently, ASU East Information Technology's (ASUE IT) Academic Computing Team is in the process of migrating from generic Windows 2000 user accounts to individual Kerberos based user accounts that work with Windows 2000 and XP. The University centrally maintains these user accounts, so this further integrates ASU East's computer labs with the other two ASU Campuses. Even though ASU East's enrollment is 2520, we have a potential of 50,000 possible users because of the other campuses. This prompted the creation of a robust XP/2000 environment.This document describes how this XP/2000 environment works. It explains the technical process from start to finish, the issues that were overcome when developing it, the experiences of the customers, and the pluses and deltas of this environment. Also, it compares the current robust environment to the older, leaner environment under Windows NT 4.The dynamics of East's Windows XP/2000 Academic Computing Site Build consists of Kerberos Authentication for individual user accounts, a Dynamic Profile, Windows 2000 Active Directory with Group Policies, VB Logon and Logoff Scripts, AFS File Space, KeyServer, and PC-Rdist. On older computers, it takes the customer about five minutes from cold boot to up and running. Under NT4, ASU East used generic accounts, but with a user specific AFS user drive mounted. Also, we used a login script, a mandatory profile, a system policy from the server, KeyServer, and PC-Rdist. It took customers up to three minutes from cold boot to up and running. Are the benefits gained by the robust nature of the XP/2000 configuration worth the increased boot and login times? Can going back and using older methods improve it.

Toward logical data independence: a relational query language without relations
Authors: D. Maier, D. Rozenshtein, S. Salveter, J. Stein, D. S. Warren
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

One of the main goals of database systems, relational systems in particular, is to provide a degree of physical data independence for users and programs. Users should not need to know the exact physical storage structures to use the database, and should be protected from changes in those structures. We attempt to go a step further, to logical data independence. We want an interface to a relational database where a user need not be concerned with how the data has been partitioned into various relations. The natural relation schemes to be used, from a semantic point of view, may be decomposed in the database for normalization or redundancy reasons. Our approach essentially loads all the semantics onto the attributes. In our query language tuple variables are not bound to specific relations. Rather, the system uses the set of attributes, say X, that appear in a query with a tuple variable, say t, to combine the database relations to form a single relation with scheme X over which t ranges. We describe our method for constructing such a relation given the associated set of attributes X. When tuple variables are bound implicitly, the logical connectives 'and', 'or', and 'not' take on 'semantic overtones' since they can affect the binding. We discuss the motivation behind the chosen semantics for these connectives. Our goal is a powerful, yet concise, query language with natural semantics.

Towards energy-aware software-based fault tolerance in real-time systems
Authors: Osman S. Unsal, Israel Koren, C. Mani Krishna
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Many real-time systems employed in defense, space, and consumer applications have power constraints and high reliability requirements. In this paper, we focus on the relationship between fault tolerance techniques and energy consumption. In particular, we establish the energy efficiency of Application Level Fault Tolerance (ALFT) over other software-based fault tolerance methods. We then develop sensible energy-aware heuristics for ALFT schemes. The heuristics yield up to 40% energy savings.

Deriving models of software fault-proneness
Authors: Giovanni Denaro, Sandro Morasca, Mauro Pezzè
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The effectiveness of the software testing process is a key issue for meeting the increasing demand of quality without augmenting the overall costs of software development. The estimation of software fault-proneness is important for assessing costs and quality and thus better planning and tuning the testing process. Unfortunately, no general techniques are available for estimating software fault-proneness and the distribution of faults to identify the correct level of test for the required quality. Although software complexity and testing thoroughness are intuitively related to the costs of quality assurance and the quality of the final product, single software metrics and coverage criteria provide limited help in planning the testing process and assuring the required quality.By using logistic regression, this paper shows how models can be built that relate software measures and software fault-proneness for classes of homogeneous software products. It also proposes the use of cross-validation for selecting valid models even for small data sets.The early results show that it is possible to build statistical models based on historical data for estimating fault-proneness of software modules before testing, and thus better planning and monitoring the testing activities.

Knowledge discovery in very large databases
Authors: Xindong Wu
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Dealing with very large databases is one of the defining challenges in data mining research and development. When a data base is not a static repository of data, or if the data come from different data sources and putting all data together might amass a huge database for centralized processing, knowledge discovery in such data environments cannot be a one-time process. Existing techniques include data sampling, windowing, bagging, boosting, batch learning, hierarchical meta-learning, and parallel and distributed data mining. This talk will provide a review on these techniques, and present our own recent research efforts on multi-layer induction and synthesizing association rules from different data sources.

:JavaServer Pages, together with the Java Servlet, provide the dynamic web content presentation layer for the Java 2 Enterprise Edition. JSPs and Servlets integrate tightly to enable scalable and portable applications, and are widely supported. This book targets the next generation of these technologies, JSP 1.2 and Servlets 2.3, which are nearing completion under the Java Community Process and provide major enhancements to Java's web programming model. This book looks in depth at these core components of the forthcoming J2EE 1.3 platform, preparing you for building the next generation of web solutions. You'll learn about the enhancements to the JSP tag library model; the new filtering and application event facilities; how to architect web applications to ensure a clean separation of presentation and logic; and the increasingly popular Jakarta Struts framework. The book also addresses using JSP with XML and XSLT; database access with JDBC; and how JSP and Servlets fit into the overall J2EE platform alongside Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaMail, and other J2EE technologies. What does this book cover? The fundamentals of web programming with JavaServer Pages 1.2 and Java Servlets 2.3 Designing and implementing JSP tag libraries Using JSP with JDBC databases and XML documents Auditing, authentication, and content transformation with Servlet 2.3 filtering Design and architecture for scalable and maintainable dynamic web applications Using the Jakarta Struts framework and tag libraries to build an E-Commerce site The role of JSP and Servlets in relation to the Java 2 Enterprise Edition Who is this book for? This book is for professional Java programmers who want to use JSP and Servlets to create the front end of their J2EE web applications, and to see how these technologies separate presentation from the generation of dynamic content. No knowledge of JSP or Servlets is required, but the reader is assumed to be familiar with the Java language and core APIs. Some knowledge of XML and EJB will be of benefit to the reader, but is not essential. Wrox provides on-line discussion for the above title and surrounding technologies on P2P.
Locally complete sets and finite decomposable codes
Authors: Jean Néraud, Carla Selmi
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We are interested in the concept of locally complete set: A subset X of the free monoid is locally complete if a code Y A exists, with Y A, X Y, and such that both the sets of Xand Y have the same sets of factors. Our contribution is based on the three following results: * A characterization of local completeness for very thin sets in terms of morphic images. * A polynomial time algorithm for deciding whether a finite code is locally complete. * A polynomial time algorithm for deciding whether a finite maximal code is decomposable
An approach to phrase selection for offline data compression
Authors: A. Turpin, W. F. Smyth
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

Recently several offline data compression schemes have been published that expend large amounts of computing resources when encoding a file, but decode the file quickly. These compressors work by identifying phrases in the input data, and storing the data as a series of pointer to these phrases. This paper explores the application of an algorithm for computing all repeating substrings within a string for phrase selection in an offline data compressor. Using our approach, we obtain compression similar to that of the best known offline compressors on genetic data, but poor results on general text. It seems, however, that an alternate approach based on selecting repeating substrings is feasible.
