The Digital Divide: Facing a Crisis or Creating a Myth?
Authors: Benjamin M. Compaine
Venue:  (2001)

:"The digital divide refers to the perceived gap between those who have access to the latest information technologies and those who do not. If we are indeed in an Information Age, then not having access to this information is an economic and social handicap. Some people consider the digital divide to be a national crisis, while others consider it an over-hyped nonissue. This book presents data supporting the existence of such a divide in the 1990s along racial, economic, ethnic, and educational lines. But it also presents evidence that by 2000 the gaps were rapidly closing without substantive public policy initiatives and spending. Together, the contributions serve as a sourcebook on this controversial issue."--BOOK JACKET.

Articulated body deformation from range scan data
Authors: Brett Allen, Brian Curless, Zoran Popović
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

This paper presents an example-based method for calculating skeleton-driven body deformations. Our example data consists of range scans of a human body in a variety of poses. Using markers captured during range scanning, we construct a kinematic skeleton and identify the pose of each scan. We then construct a mutually consistent parameterization of all the scans using a posable subdivision surface template. The detail deformations are represented as displacements from this surface, and holes are filled smoothly within the displacement maps. Finally, we combine the range scans using k-nearest neighbor interpolation in pose space. We demonstrate results for a human upper body with controllable pose, kinematics, and underlying surface shape.
A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation
Authors: Christopher W. Fraser, David R. Hanson
Venue:  (1995)

:This new text examines the design and implementation of Icc, a production-quality, retargetable compiler, designed at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Princeton University for the ANSI C programming language. The authors' innovative approach - a "literate program" that intermingles the text with the source code - gives a detailed tour of the code that explains the implementation and design decisions reflected in the software. And while most books describe toy compilers or focus on isolated pieces of code, the authors have made available the entire source code for a real compiler. Structured as a self-study guide that describes the real-world tradeoffs encountered in building a production-quality compiler, A Retargetable C Compiler is also useful to individuals who work in application areas using or creating language-based tools and techniques. Features: discusses the implementation and design tradeoffs made while constructing a real ANSI C compiler, illustrating the interaction between theory and practice; covers compiler theory only as needed to understand the implementation of Icc, focusing instead on practical, applied issues; encourages a deeper understanding of programming in C, by providing C programmers with a tour of the language from the perspective of compiler authors; includes coverage of code generators for the MIPS R3000, SPARC, and Intel 386 and its successors; and provides access to the full source code for the Icc compiler, the three back ends, and the code-generator generator, either on disk or via FTP.

Keeping Score: Using the Right Metrics to Drive World-Class Performance, 1st edition
Authors: Mark Graham Brown
Venue:  (1996)

:Keeping Score ensures that you look at the right measurements. The author contends that your measurements must focus on the past, present, and future and be based on the needs of customers, shareholders, and employees. Measuring everything is more damaging than measuring nothing - pinpointing the vital few key measures is the key to success. Following a Baldrige approach, Mark Brown shows you how to evaluate your current approach to measurement and redesign inadequate metrics and systems used to collect and report data. Developing an accurate measurement system ensures that you correctly measure customer satisfaction and value, the quality of products and services before they reach the customer, and employee satisfaction. In addition, you'll improve the accuracy of your metrics by linking them to key success factors as well as learn how to select the right financial metrics, perform process measurement, and track supplier performance.

Open source software: intellectual challenges to the status quo
Authors: Marty J. Wolf, Kevin Bowyer, Don Gotterbarn, Keith Miller
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

Open source software is making a large impact on many aspects of society including the business community, the computing industry, the entertainment industry and higher education. The computer science education community has been quiet about issues of open source versus closed source and the role of open source code in the advancement of information technology. A survey of recent issues of SIGCSE Bulletin and SIGCSE conference proceedings shows little attention to the role open source software should play in computer science education. We are here to raise the question: "What are the social and ethical responsibilities of computer science faculty regarding open source software?"One set of issues concerns the use of open source software in teaching and the use of open source development models in the teaching of software development. Some basic questions that arise include "Should analysis of open source (and possible contributions to it) be the subject of class assignments?" and "Should open source software development models be taught?"A second set of issues concerns the use of open source software in support of teaching (e.g., using Linux as your standard platform). Some basic questions that arise include "Should we use open source software to support teaching?" and "Are these faculty ethically obligated to make contributions to the open source software base?"In this panel we will identify many of the parties involved in the ethical and social issues surrounding the use of open source in teaching and in the support of teaching, and we will identify the rights and responsibilities we, as faculty, have to the various parties. This panel will initiate a discussion that will identify additional parties and our further professional obligations.

Elimination of Java array bounds checks in the presence of indirection
Authors: Mikel Luján, John R. Gurd, T. L. Freeman, José Miguel
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande (2002)

The Java language specification states that every access to an array needs to be within the bounds of that array; i.e. between 0 and array length 1. Different techniques for different programming languages have been proposed to eliminate explicit bounds checks. Some of these techniques are implemented in off-the-shelf Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). The underlying principle of these techniques is that bounds checks can be removed when a JVM/compiler has enough information to guarantee that a sequence of accesses (e.g. inside a for-loop) is safe (within the bounds). Most of the techniques for the elimination of array bounds checks have been developed for programming languages that do not support multi-threading and/or enable dynamic class loading. These two characteristics make most of these tech niques unsuitable for Java. Techniques developed specifically for Java have not addressed the elimination of array bounds checks in the presence of indirection, that is, when the index is stored in another array (indirection array). With the objective of optimising applications with array indirection, this paper proposes and evaluates three implementation strategies, each implemented as a Java class. The classes provide the functionality of Java arrays of type int so that objects of the classes can be used instead of indirection arrays. Each strategy enables JVMs, when examining only one of these classes at a time, to obtain enough information to remove array bounds checks.
A unifying approach to goal-directed evaluation
Authors: Olivier Danvy, Bernd Grobauer, Morten Rhiger
Venue: New Generation Computing (2002)

Goal-directed evaluation, as embodied in Icon and Snobol, is built on the notions of backtracking and of generating successive results, and therefore it has always been something of a challenge to specify and implement. In this article, we address this challenge using computational monads and partial evaluation.We consider a subset of Icon and we specify it with a monadic semantics and a list monad. We then consider a spectrum of monads that also fit the bill, and we relate them to each other. For example, we derive a continuation monad as a Church encoding of the list monad. The resulting semantics coincides with Gudeman's continuation semantics of Icon.We then compile Icon programs by specializing their interpreter (i.e., by using the first Futamura projection), using type-directed partial evaluation. Through various back ends, including a run-time code generator, we generate ML code, C code, and OCaml byte code. Binding-time analysis and partial evaluation of the continuation-based interpreter automatically give rise to C programs that coincide with the result of Proebsting's optimized compiler.

Peer-to-Peer: Harnessing the Power of Disruptive Technologies
Authors: Andy Oram
Venue:  (2001)

:Upstart software projects Napster, Gnutella, and Freenet have dominated newspaper headlines, challenging traditional approaches to content distribution with their revolutionary use of peer-to-peer file-sharing technologies. Reporters try to sort out the ramifications of seemingly ungoverned peer-to-peer networks. Lawyers, business leaders, and social commentators debate the virtues and evils of these bold new distributed systems. But what's really behind such disruptive technologies -- the breakthrough innovations that have rocked the music and media worlds? And what lies ahead? In this book, key peer-to-peer pioneers take us beyond the headlines and hype and show how the technology is changing the way we communicate and exchange information. Those working to advance peer-to-peer as a technology, a business opportunity, and an investment offer their insights into how the technology has evolved and where it's going. They explore the problems they've faced, the solutions they've discovered, the lessons they've learned, and their goals for the future of computer networking. Until now, Internet communities have been limited by the flat interactive qualities of email and network newsgroups, where people can exchange recommendations and ideas but have great difficulty commenting on one another's postings, structuring information, performing searches, and creating summaries. Peer-to-peer challenges the traditional authority of the client/server model, allowing shared information to reside instead with producers and users. Peer-to-peer networks empower users to collaborate on producing and consuming information, adding to it, commenting on it, and building communities around it. This compilation represents the collected wisdom of today's peer-to-peer luminaries. It includes contributions from Gnutella's Gene Kan, Freenet's Brandon Wiley, Jabber's Jeremie Miller, and many others -- plus serious discussions of topics ranging from accountability and trust to security and performance. Fraught with questions and promise, peer-to-peer is sure to remain on the computer industry's center stage for years to come.
Information flow vs. resource access in the asynchronous pi-calculus
Authors: Matthew Hennessy, James Riely
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2002)

We propose an extension of the asynchronous &pi;-calculus in which a variety of security properties may be captured using types. These are an extension of the input/output types for the &pi;-calculus in which I/O capabilities are assigned specific security levels. The main innovation is a uniform typing system that, by varying slightly the allowed set of types, captures different notions of security.We first define a typing system that ensures that processes running at security level &sigma; cannot access resources with a security level higher than &sigma;. The notion of access control guaranteed by this system is formalized in terms of a Type Safety Theorem.We then show that, by restricting the allowed types, our system prohibits implicit information flow from high-level to low-level processes. We prove that low-level behavior can not be influenced by changes to high-level behavior. This is formalized as a noninterference theorem with respect to may testing.
Shape Interrogation for Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing
Authors: Nicholas M. Patrikalakis
Venue:  (2002)

:Shape interrogation is the process of extraction of information from a geometric model. It is a fundamental component of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. The authors focus on shape interrogation of geometric models bounded by free-form surfaces. Free-form surfaces, also called sculptured surfaces, are widely used in the bodies of ships, automobiles and aircraft, which have both functionality and attractive shape requirements. Many electronic devices as well as consumer products are designed with aesthetic shapes, which involve free-form surfaces. This book provides the mathematical fundamentals as well as algorithms for various shape interrogation methods including nonlinear polynomial solvers, intersection problems, differential geometry of intersection curves, distance functions, curve and surface interrogation, umbilics and lines of curvature, geodesics, and offset curves and surfaces. This book will be of interest both to graduate students and professionals.

On Codes Identifying Sets of Vertices in Hamming Spaces
Authors: Iiro Honkala, Tero Laihonen, Sanna Ranto
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

A code C \subseteq F_2^n is called (t,{\leq} 2)-identifying if for all the words x, y(x\ne y) and z the sets (B_{t}(x)\cup B_{t}(y))\cap C and B_{t}(z)\cap C are nonempty and different. Constructions of such codes and a lower bound on the cardinality of these codes are given. The lower bound is shown to be sharp in some cases. We also discuss a more general notion of (t,\mathcal{F})-identifying codes and introduce weakly identifying codes.
Improved fast interger sorting in linear space
Authors: Yijie Han
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

We present a fast deterministic algorithm for integer sorting in linear space. Our algorithm sorts n integers in the range {0, 1, 2, ..., m-1} in linear space in O (n log log n log log log n) time. When log m log 2+ε n, ε0, we can further achieve O (n log log n) time. This improves the O (n (log log n)2) time bound given in M. Thorup (1998) in "Proc. 1998 ACM-SIAM Symp. on Discrete Algorithms (SODA'98)," pp. 550-555). This result is obtained by combining our new technique with that of Thorup's. Signature sorting (A. Andersson, T. Hagerup, S. Nilsson, and R. Raman, 1995, in "Proc. 1995 Symposium on Theory of Computing," pp. 427-436), A. Andersson's result (1996, in "Proc. 1996 IEEE Symp. on Foundations of Computer Science," pp. 135-141), R. Raman's result (1996, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 1136, pp. 121-137, Springer-Verlag Berlin/New York), and our previous result (Y. Han and X. Shen, 1999, in "Proc. 1999 Tenth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA'99)," Baltimore, MD, January, pp. 419-428) are also used for the design of our algorithms. We provide an approach and techniques which are totally different from previous approaches and techniques for the problem. As a consequence our technique can be extended to apply to nonconservative sorting and parallel sorting. Our nonconservative sorting algorithm sorts n integers in {0, 1, ..., m-1} in time O (n (log log n)2/(log k+log log log n)) using word length k log(m+n), where k log n. Our EREW parallel algorithm sorts n integers in {0, 1, ..., m-1} in O ((log n)2) time and O (n (log log n)2/log log log n) operations provided log m=&Ohgr; ((log n)2). Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
