An enablement detection algorithm for open multiparty interactions
Authors: J. A. Pérez, R. Corchuelo, D. Ruiz, M. Toro
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Coordination amongst an arbitrary number of entities has become an important issue in recent years in fields such as e-commerce, web-based applications and so on. Traditionally, classical client/server primitives have been used to implement synchronisation and communication. But, when more than two entities need to coordinate by means of those primitives, the coordination must be decomposed into a number of client/server biparty interactions, leading the programmer to the need of thinking in terms of the protocols needed to achieve properties like livenes, atomicity and so on. In this paper, we present an algorithm to perform enablement detection to implement open multiparty interactions. This primitive provides a high level of abstraction since the programmer can implement multiparty coordination without the need of thinking in terms of protocols.

A parsing method on l-1 bounded context parsing
Authors: Yeu-hsiung Liang
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

Bounded context parsing was first introduced by Floyd and Graham in which they used a precedence parsing method. However, precedence parsing has some drawbacks such as the parser is often very large and not all languages are precedence parsable.Another technique for generating a Bounded Context Parser was developed by Mickunas at Purdue University. This technique, which is often referred to as Bounded Context Acceptor (BCA) or Extended Bounded Context Acceptor (EBCA), can generate a more compact parser.This paper introduces a new parsing method which is derived from EBCA. The parse table generated by this method is much smaller than those generated by EBCA. The parsing technique yields similiar or improved efficiency when compared to EBCA.

Business Dictionary of Computers, 3rd edition
Authors: Jerry M. Rosenberg
Venue:  (1993)

:The latest phase in the ongoing computer revolution - the dizzying leap to supercomputers and artificial intelligence - has also given rise to complex new jargon. While "bit" and "byte" may have puzzled yesterday's novice, today's newcomer is faced with unravelling acronyms such as "ERP" and "EREP" and distinguishing "multiplexer polling" from simple "multiplexing." To this technically daunting - and growing - vocabulary comes a reference of breadth, accuracy and, above all, commonsense clarity: Wiley's new Business Dictionary of Computers. Designed for every manager who uses computer power, the Dictionary provides fingertip access to over 7,500 computer-related terms (4,500 more than its leading competitor) that combine simplicity of expression with pinpoint technical precision. Covering terms on hardware, software, programming concepts and languages, operating systems, electronics, logic circuits, personal computers, supercomputers, networking, windows, desktop, graphics, architecture, microcomputer hardware, and a host of other areas, the Dictionary is a comprehensive guide to the computer's operating fundamentals as well as its new and ascendant technology. Written by a leading business authority and consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary, the Business Dictionary of Computers is the only work of its kind that provides a clear, comprehensive multicontextual format that meets the informational needs of the specialist and generalist alike. Not only is a complete range of contexts for a particular word, term, or concept represented, the Dictionary's entries feature the most widely used definition first with remaining definitions listed by area of specialty. The Dictionary's detailed cross-referencing system not only directs readers to the term's synonym and abbreviation, it sheds light on key related terminology and appropriate usage of the term in question. Historically relevant terms, not presently in common usage, have also been included. Prepared with The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Polyarchy visualization: visualizing multiple intersecting hierarchies
Authors: George Robertson, Kim Cameron, Mary Czerwinski, Daniel Robbins
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

We describe a new information structure composed of multiple intersecting hierarchies, which we call Polyarchies. Visualizing polyarchies enables use of novel views for discovery of relationships which are very difficult using existing hierarchy visualization tools. This paper will describe the visualization design and system architecture challenges as well as our current solutions. A Mid-Tier Cache architecture is used as a "polyarchy server" which supports a novel web-based polyarchy visualization technique, called Visual Pivot. A series of five user studies guided iterative design of Visual Pivot

A general purpose distributed operating system for a hypercube
Authors: Yolande Berbers, Wouter Joosen, Pierre Verbaeten
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Autonomy or interdependence in distributed systems? (1988)

A hypercube multiprocessor is a MIMD distributed memory parallel computer in which 2**d nodes are connected in a d-dimensional hypercube topology. In this topology a d-dimensional cube is constructed out of two (d-1)-dimensional subcubes by connecting corresponding nodes so that each node is connected to d nelghbours. Each node contains a processor and local memory. All nodes are connected (directly or indirectly) to a 'cube manager'. Hypercubes were first developed by the California Institute of Technology.
Graph-based modeling: PERT scheduling with resources using qualitative simulation graphs
Authors: Ricki G. Ingalls, Douglas J. Morrice
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The Qualitative Simulation Graph Methodology (QSGM) is well suited to address the PERT scheduling with resources problem. The coverage property of QSGM has two important implications for the PERT scheduling problem. First, it means that all possible schedules are represented. Second, it means that, as long as the delay time intervals are not violated, we can characterize all possible outcomes of a decision that needs to be made in the schedule. This gives rise to the possibility of robust point-in-time scheduling decisions without needed to rerun the simulation in order to get the results.
General simulation applications in semiconductor manufacturing: why do simple wafer fab models fail in certain scenarios?
Authors: Oliver Rose
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Previous work has proved that simple simulation models are sufficient for analyzing the behavior of complex wafer fabs in certain scenarios. In this paper, we give an example where the simple model fails to accurately predict cycle times and WIP levels of the complex model. To determine the reason for this behavior, we analyze the correlation properties of a MIMAC full fab model and the corresponding simple one. It turns out that the simple model is not capable of capturing the correlations in an adequate way because there is lot overtaking (passing) in the simple model while almost no overtaking can be found in the complex counterpart.

DSM-CC for world wide applications
Authors: Liam Casey
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

DSM-CC (Digital Storage Media - Command and Control) is a very recent ISO/IEC standard developed for the delivery of interactive multimedia broadband services. This paper develops two themes of DSM-CC and explores issues related to its applicability to World Wide use. The first theme is that of Sessions and Resource control: tracking and controlling all resource usage goes against the prevailing approach of the Internet but will, we advocate, be required if quality of service is to be guaranteed effectively. The second theme is effect on distributed computing models of downloadable Information Appliances and network resource control. In this model the acquisition of an object reference also becomes the acquisition of the network resources needed to use the object's operations. Finally we suggest areas of further work.
International Computer Software Industry
Authors: David C. Mowery
Venue:  (1995)

:Although the computer software industry is growing rapidly and is of increasing importance for the international competitiveness of other high-technology industries and national economies, it has received surprisingly little attention from scholars. Data on employment, sales, and industry structure for the software industry are rare, and public statistical agencies do not provide reliable, internationally comparable data. The International Computer Software Industry: A Comparative Study of Industry Evolution and Structure offers the first comprehensive, cross-national analysis of the origins, structure, and competitive strengths of the U.S., Japanese, British, Western European, and Russian computer software industries. In addition to chapters dealing with each of these industries, the volume examines in detail the role of U.S. government policy in supporting the emergence of the U.S. software industry, the interaction between software and hardware in technology commercialization, and the changing structure and influence of intellectual property rights within the industry. This edited volume contains research conducted by a group of international experts in the software industry. It will be essential reading for managers and analysts in the software industry, along with scholars and students of technology and of the computer software industry.

On the cost of fault-tolerant consensus when there are no faults: preliminary version
Authors: Idit Keidar, Sergio Rajsbaum
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (2001)

We consider the consensus problem in an asynchronous model enriched with unreliable failure detectors and in the partial synchrony model. We consider algorithms that solve consensus and tolerate crash failures and/or message omissions. We prove tight lower bounds on the number of communication steps performed by such algorithms in failure-free executions. We present in a unified framework a number of related lower bound results. Thus, we shed light on the relationships among different known lower and upper bounds, and at the same time, illustrate a general technique for obtaining simple and elegant lower bound proofs. We also illustrate matching upper bounds: we algorithms that achieve the lower bound.
Windows NT/2000 Network Security
Authors: E. Eugene Schultz
Venue:  (2000)

:This book is intended primarily for LAN administrators, system programmers, information security staff, and advanced users. Although the main focus of the book will be technical, many facets of Windows NT security involve practicing sound control procedures. As such, much of the book's discussion will be pertinent to all three groups. Windows NT/2000 Network Security will also thoroughly cover security-relevant technical issues such as controlling services protocols like Web-services and SMB. The book will be carefully sequenced to delve into technical issues increasingly with each chapter, so that the last half of the book will be more relevant to LAN administrators and system programmers than anyone else - whereas the first half will be equally pertinent to all groups.
