Linux Device Drivers, 1st Ed, 1st edition
Authors: Alessandro Rubini
Venue:  (1998)

:This book is for anyone who wants to support computer peripherals under the Linux operating system or who wants to develop new hardware and run it under Linux. Linux is the fastest-growing segment of the UNIX market and is winning over enthusiastic adherents in many application areas. This book reveals information that heretofore has been passed by word-of-mouth or in cryptic source code comments, showing how to write a driver for a wide range of devices. You don't have to be a kernel hacker to understand and enjoy this book; all you need is an understanding of C and some background in UNIX system calls. Drivers for character devices, block devices, and network interfaces are all described in step-by-step form and are illustrated with full-featured examples that show driver design issues, which can be executed without special hardware.
Constructing superviews
Authors: Amihai Motro, Peter Buneman
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

A method is described for integrating two or more databases into a conceptual "superview", through a set of schema transformations. Such integration may be useful when it is required to produce a unified view of two databases while preserving their physical independence. Each transformation defines a mapping of queries against the superview into the appropriate set of queries against the underlying databases and imposes a constraint that is checked when the query is evaluated. A program that interactively aids the user in constructing the superview and that performs this query transformation is being developed.

Fibre to the home &ndash; infrastructure deployment issues
Authors: A. J. Mayhew, S. J. Page, A. M. Walker, S. I. Fisher
Venue: BT Technology Journal (2002)

To date the use of optical fibre in the access network has typically only proved cost effective for supplying the high-bandwidth demands of large corporate companies. For new and established network operators, however, the increasing demand for bandwidth to deliver bearer, interactive and bundled services to business and residential customers is requiring them to seriously consider the high volume roll-out of optical-fibre-based systems. Network operators therefore face some major decisions, not only in terms of the type of fibre transmission systems to deploy, but also on how to install a cost-effective network of fibre cables, ducting and joints to connect to the customers they wish to serve. Installing fibre in the ground represents a major commitment and a long term investment. Network operators can typically expected the fibre infrastructure to equate to at least 60% of the cost of the overall access transmission system. Planning and building such networks involves major investment at the outset, and, in today&rdquo;s highly competitive markets, operators are faced with the added complications of uncertain take-up of services by customers and the likelihood of high customer churn.This paper focuses on &ldquo;fibre to the home&rdquo; (FTTH) and the deployment options and challenges for the physical fibre infrastructure. The key difference associated with connecting optical fibre to residential properties instead of business properties is not technical but commercial. There is typically a much smaller potential revenue from a residential property than from a business property. This leads to a need for cost optimisation of both the transmission system and the fibre infrastructure. This paper examines the fibre infrastructure issues that need to be considered for an FTTH deployment and describes the fibre access network modelling activities carried out by BTexact's Broadband Network Engineering unit. The aim of this modelling is both to automate the planning of, and to optimise the costs of deploying, access networks based on real geographical and demographic data.

Boundedness Properties For Time-Varying Nonlinear Systems
Authors: Joan Peuteman, Dirk Aeyels, Rodolphe Sepulchre
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

A Liapunov theorem guaranteeing uniform boundedness and uniform ultimate boundedness for a time-varying nonlinear system $\dot{x}(t) = f(x(t) , t)$ has been established. The study of uniform boundedness and uniform ultimate boundedness of particular classes of time-varying nonlinear systems $\dot{x} (t) =f(x(t) ,t )$ is reduced to the study of the corresponding time-invariant frozen systems $\dot{x} (t) = f(x(t) , \sigma )$ for all $\sigma \in \mathbb{R}$. This approach is illustrated for time-varying homogeneous systems with a positive order, for particular classes of time-varying nonhomogeneous systems and for time-varying Lotka--Volterra equations.
Efficient Algorithms for the Block Hessenberg Form
Authors: Enrique S. Quintana-Ortí, Gregorio Quintana-Ortí, Maribel Castillo, Vicente Hernández
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2001)

We investigate in this paper the performance of parallel algorithms for computing the controllable part of a control linear system, with application to the computation of minimal realizations. Our approach is based on a method that transforms the matrices of the system to block Hessenberg form by using rank-revealing orthogonal factorizations.The experimental analysis on a high performance architecture includes two rank-revealing numerical tools: the SVD and the rank-revealing QR factorizations. Results are also reported, using the rank-revealing QR factorizations, on a parallel distributed architecture.

Enabling Technology: Disabled People, Work and New Technology, 1st edition
Authors: Alan Roulstone
Venue:  (1998)

:Using a social barriers model of disability Enabling Technology addresses the role of new technology in reducing the environmental and attitude barriers disabled people have commonly faced in the field of employment. This work is critical of established writings on' disability and new technology and suggests that by adopting a medical model of disability such analyses have misrepresented the benefits of new technology for disabled people. A social barriers model views the benefits of new technology as inhering in its potential to rehabilitate disabling environments. The book addresses the urgent need to reframe policies on technology access away from a welfarist 'eligibility' model to a 'social rights' approach, one where disabled people are centrally involved in the framing, operation and review of technology access policy.

Global random optimization by simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation
Authors: John L. Maryak, Daniel C. Chin
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

A desire with iterative optimization techniques is that the algorithm reach the global optimum rather than get stranded at a local optimum value. Here, we examine the global convergence properties of a "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called "SPSA," that has performed well in complex optimization problems. We establish two theorems on the global convergence of SPSA. The first provides conditions under which SPSA will converge in probability to a global optimum using the well-known method of injected noise. In the second theorem, we show that, under different conditions, "basic" SPSA without injected noise can achieve convergence in probability to a global optimum. This latter result can have important benefits in the setup (tuning) and performance of the algorithm. The discussion is supported by numerical studies showing favorable comparisons of SPSA to simulated annealing and genetic algorithms.

A Reliability Statistics Perspective on the Pitfalls of Standard Wafer-Level Electromigration Accelerated Test (SWEAT)
Authors: Cher Ming Tan, Kelvin Ngan Chong Yeo
Venue: Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications (2001)

Standard Wafer Level Electromigration Accelerated Test (SWEAT) has become a common fast wafer level reliability test for electromigration in industry. However, its ability to detect changes in processes and its correlation with conventional electromigration test result has come under close scrutiny. From the perspective of reliability statistics, SWEAT also has other pitfalls that render its test results questionable. In this work, these pitfalls are highlighted, and alternative wafer-level electromigration tests are discussed. The arguments that the SWEAT is not appropriate for evaluation of electromigration of metal lines are presented. SWEAT as a tool to evaluate electromigration lifetime of metal lines is not recommended unless the pitfalls are seriously looked at.
