Inside Internet Security: What Hackers Don't Want You to Know, 1st edition
Authors: Jeff Crume
Venue:  (2000)

:This book is a practical guide for anyone designing or administering a corporate or e-business network that runs across a number of platforms via the Internet. It will arm systems administrators with a thorough understanding of the problems of network security and their solutions, and thus help realize the tremendous potential of e-business. With the explosion growth of e-commerce and the opening up of corporate networks to external customers, security is now the number one issue for networking professionals. Concerns about hackers and the possible damage they can do to a business, and the potential vulnerabilities of a system can be overwhelming and can create an unhealthy business environment. However, a great deal of this is based on lack of information as to exactly how hackers approach their task, and of the exact vulnerabilities that they prey on. In this book, Jeff Crume dispels this fear by putting these threats into perspective and allowing realistic defense mechanisms to be created, to the extent that security becomes a business enabler, rather than inhibitor. Inside Internet Security describes the underlying principles that crop up again and again in hacker attacks, and then progresses focus on lessons that can be learned, and on how to protect against recurrence. Features: Practical hands-on advice on securing networked systems Security checklists for common scenarios Pointers to other detailed information sources In-depth theoretical background information Real-world Examples of actual attacks A glimpse into the future of IT security

Virtual spring manipulators for particle steering in molecular dynamics on the responsive workbench
Authors: Michal Koutek, Jeroen van Hees, Frits H. Post, A. F. Bakker
Venue: Proceedings of the workshop on Virtual environments 2002 (2002)

In this paper we present new virtual spring manipulator-based tools for steering particles in molecular dynamics simulations in virtual environments. We briefly overview the MolDRIVE system, our visualization and computational steering environment for molecular dynamics real-time simulations, which is the platform for our particle steering implementation.Our study concentrates on visual feedback tools. We compare a basic virtual particle steering method with two other methods using a spring manipulator. The first just creates a visual feedback of a flexible connection between the user's interaction device and the steered particle, while the second technique creates a visual illusion of force feedback. The user can, through the spring manipulator, exert a force on the manipulated particle in the MD simulation. All presented particle steering tools are intuitive and easy to use.
Impact of three-dimensional architectures on interconnects in gigascale integration
Authors: James W. Joyner, Raguraman Venkatesan, Payman Zarkesh-Ha, Jeffrey A. Davis, James D. Meindl
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

An interconnect distribution model for homogeneous, three-dimensional (3-D) architectures with variable separation of strata is presented. Three-dimensional architectures offer an opportunity to reduce the length of the longest interconnects. The separation of strata has little impact on the length of interconnects but a large impact on the number of interstratal interconnects. Using a multilevel interconnect methodology for an ITRS 2005 100 nm ASIC, a two-strata architecture offers a 3.9 x increase in wire-limited clock frequency, an 84% decrease in wire-limited area or a 25% decrease in the number of metal levels required. In practice, however, such fabrication advances as improved alignment tolerances in wafer-bonding techniques are needed to gain key advantages stemming from 3-D architectures for homogenous gigascale intergrated circuits.

The Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America
Authors: Paul N. Edwards
Venue:  (1996)

:The Closed World offers a radical alternative to the canonical histories of computers and cognitive science. Arguing that we can make sense of computers as tools only when we simultaneously grasp their roles as metaphors and political icons, Paul Edwards shows how Cold War social and cultural contexts shaped emerging computer technology - and were transformed, in turn, by information machines. The Closed World explores three apparently disparate histories - the history of American global power, the history of computing machines, and the history of subjectivity in science and culture - through the lens of the American political imagination. In the process, it reveals intimate links among the military projects of the Cold War, the evolution of digital computers, and the origins of cybernetics, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence.

Fault-Tolerant Routing in Hypercube Multicomputers Using Local Safety Information
Authors: Dong Xiang
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

This paper studies fault-tolerant routing for injured hypercubes using local safety information. It is shown that a minimum feasible path is always available if the spanning subcube that contains both source and destination is safe. The safety information outside the spanning subcube is applied only when derouting is needed. A routing scheme based on local safety information is proposed and the extra cost to obtain local safety information is comparable to the one based on global safety information. The proposed algorithm guarantees to find a minimum feasible path if the spanning subcube is contained in a maximal safe subcube and the source is locally safe in the maximal safe subcube. A new technique to set up a partial path is proposed based on local safety information when the above conditions are not met. Sufficient simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method by comparing with the previous methods.

Situated Cognition: On Human Knowledge and Computer Representations
Authors: William J. Clancey
Venue:  (1997)

:This book is about recent changes in the design of intelligent machines. New computer models of vision and navigation in animals suggest a different way to build machines. Cognition is viewed not just in terms of high-level "expertise," but in terms of the ability to find one's way around the world, to learn new ways of seeing things, and to coordinate activity. This approach is called situated cognition. Situated Cognition differs from other purely philosophical treatises in that Clancey, who has built expert systems for twenty years, explores the limitations of existing computer programs and compares them to human memory and learning capabilities. He examines the implications of situated action from the perspective of artificial intelligence specialists interested in building robots and cognitive scientists seeking to relate descriptive models to neural and social views of knowledge.

Short vectors of planar lattices via continued fractions
Authors: Friedrich Eisenbrand
Venue: Information Processing Letters (2001)

We show that a shortest vector of a 2-dimensional integral lattice with respect to the lsub-infinity-norm can be computed with a constant number of extended-gcd computations, one common-convergent computation and a constant number of arithmetic operations. It follows that in two dimensions, a fast basis-reduction algorithm can be solely based on Sch&ouml;nhage's classical algorithm on the fast computation of continued fractions and the reduction algorithm of Gauss.
