Using mobile code to create ubiquitous augmented reality
Authors: Kari J. Kangas, Juha Röning
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

Augmented reality systems supplement reality by adding virtual objects into a real-world view. In this article, we describe a flexible mobile code approach for implementing ubiquitous, active, and mobile augmented reality systems. We will concentrate primarily on solving the problem of how to acquire the data for the virtual objects in a way that will be flexible and expandable enough to be used in ubiquitous computing. To clarify the concepts and to illustrate our current research status, we will present an example system that provides virtual user interfaces for various real-world objects. We also hope that these interfaces provide useful insights to the possibilities that our approach can provide. This article suggests that the mobile code approach offers a relatively simple solution that is flexible, scales well, and does not require the computing equipment attached to the real-world objects to be excessively complicated. We can use the same approach in applications that provide only simple descriptions of the real-world objects and in complex applications that allow the user to manipulate real-world objects via virtual user interfaces that exist only in augmented reality. Our approach also supports active augmented reality, in which the virtual objects can react to the real-world events.

XIML: a common representation for interaction data
Authors: Angel Puerta, Jacob Eisenstein
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

We introduce XIML (eXtensible Interface Markup Language), a proposed common representation for interaction data. We claim that XIML fulfills the requirements that we have found essential for a language of its type: (1) it supports design, operation, organization, and evaluation functions, (2) it is able to relate the abstract and concrete data elements of an interface, and (3) it enables knowledge-based systems to exploit the captured data.
Practical Cryptography for Data Internetworks, 1st edition
Authors: William Stallings
Venue:  (1996)

:A growing proportion of applications and protocols used over the Internet either have significant security-related features or have as their primary purpose the provision of some security facility. Many of these applications and protocols use cryptographic algorithms to implement security services. This book provides you with a comprehensive introduction to the use of cryptographic algorithms in data network security, with a special emphasis on practical internetworking applications. The book focuses on the underlying principles and main approaches to cryptography, and covers both conventional and public-key encryption and the most important algorithms, including DES, triple DES, RSA, and IDEA. Furthermore, the text discusses issues concerning authentication and digital signatures and explains the use of public-key encryption and secure hash functions in this context. It concludes with an examination into the practical uses of cryptographic algorithms in some key inter-networking applications.

Enterprise Integration and Modeling: The Metadatabase Approach
Authors: Cheng Hsu
Venue:  (1995)

:There are two types of readers that will find this book useful: those who have an interest in the Metadatabase model as an integration technology, and those who also seek a general discussion on information system analysis and design. To this end, a general conceptual framework on enterprise integration and modeling is provided in the first chapter, and is used to tie together all of the remaining chapters of the book. The next two chapters present some basics and examples of systems analysis and design for enterprise modeling; which serve the purposes of general discussion on the subject as well as illustrating the modeling methods particular to the Metadatabase approach. The particular methods are discussed fully in Chapter 4. An overview of the Metadatabase Model is provided in Chapter 5 and illustrated with a ''paper demonstration' of a basic Metadatabase prototype in Chapter 6. The main technical elements of the model are presented in Chapters 7-9. The model is then applied to manufacturing in Chapter 10, where a core information model for implementing the Metadatabase approach to integration is also included. Chapter 11 extends the Metadatabase technology into the realm of information visualization. The new user interface model developed can be applied to integrate the traditional management of information in an enterprise with new cyberspace applications such as electronic commerce. The Metadatabase model of enterprise information integration (for multiple systems) has been developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute under the sponsorships of Alcoa, Digital, GE, GM, and IBM (from 1986-1995 through the Computer-Integrated Manufacturing and the Adaptive IntegratedManufacturing Enterprises programs), the National Science Foundation (since 1991), Samsung (since 1995), and U.S. Army (since 1995). The technology is being developed into a product for Samsung and the Army. This is the first expository book on the topic.
Formal verification of replication on a distributed data space architecture
Authors: Jozef Hooman, Jaco van de Pol
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We investigate the formal verification of safety-critical systems on top of the distributed data space architecture Splice. In Splice each component has its own local data space which can be kept small using keys, time stamps and selective over-writing. We use two complementary formal tools: first the &micro;CRL tool set for a rapid investigation of alternatives by a limited verification with state space exploration techniques; next the most promising solutions are verified in general by means of the interactive theorem prover of PVS. These formal techniques are used to investigate transparent replication of certain components on top of Splice. We prove that a convenient solution can be obtained by means of a slight extension of the write primitive of Splice.

User web browsing characteristics using palm handhelds for information retrieval
Authors: Michael J. Albers, Loel Kim
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

An increasing amount of information is being disseminated to decision-makers via web interfaces. Because there is also an increase in the use of personal digital assistants (PDA's), future web sites must accommodate handheld access. With easy ability to synchronize content from the web with handheld systems, basic web design assumptions should be reexamined to determine how handheld's affect search and retrieval. The small screen size, text-based design, and cumbersome interface manipulation requires verification of the current design guidelines to ensure they support efficient information retrieval. In addition, PDA users' browsing behaviors also differ from typical Web use. Whereas people using the Web tend to engage in open-ended, exploratory behaviors, PDA's are intended to support task-specific use. Thus user ability to retrieve information---including locating and relocating information, building mental models of the website, and remembering the information once the user has found it---may differ in substantive ways. This paper lays out a theoretical framework for understanding differences between handheld and full-sized web environments, as well as their intended uses. Design issues are identified for further research.

Artificial Life: A Report from the Frontier Where Computers Meet Biology, 1st edition
Authors: Steven Levy
Venue:  (1993)

:This enthralling book alerts us to nothing less than the existence of new varieties of life. Some of these species can move and eat, see, reproduce, and die. Some behave like birds or ants. One such life form may turn out to be our best weapon in the war against AIDS.What these species have in common is that they exist inside computers, their DNA is digital, and they have come into being not through God's agency but through the efforts of a generation of scientists who seek to create life in silico.But even as it introduces us to these brilliant heretics and unravels the intricacies of their work. Artificial Life examines its subject's dizzying philosophical implications: Is a self-replicating computer program any less alive than a flu virus? Are carbon-and-water-based entities merely part of the continuum of living things? And is it possible that one day "a-life" will look back at human beings and dismiss us as an evolutionary way station  or, worse still, a dead end?
Supporting runtime tool interaction for parallel simulations
Authors: Christopher W. Harrop, Steven T. Hackstadt, Janice E. Cuny, Allen D. Malony, Laura S. Magde
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

Scientists from many disciplines now routinely use modeling and simulation techniques to study physical and biological phenomena. Advances in high-performance architectures and networking have made it possible to build complex simulations with parallel and distributed interacting components.Unfortunately, the software needed to support such complex simulations has lagged behind hardware developments. We focus here on one aspect of such support: runtime program interaction. We have developed a runtime interaction framework and we have implemented a specific instance of it for an application in seismic tomography. That instance, called TierraLab, extends the geoscientists' existing (legacy) tomography code with runtime interaction capabilities which they access through a MATLAB interface. The scientist can stop a program, retrieve data, analyze and visualize that data with existing MATLAB routines, modify the data, and resume execution. They can do this all within a familiar MATLAB-like environment without having to be concerned with any of the low-level details of parallel or distributed data distribution. Data distribution is handled transparently by the Distributed Array Query and Visualization (DAQV) system. Our framework allows scientists to construct and maintain their own customized runtime interaction system.

Efficient and scalable on-demand data streaming using UEP codes
Authors: Lihao Xu
Venue: Proceedings of the ninth ACM international conference on Multimedia (2001)

In this paper, we propose and analyze a new multicast scheme for delivering on-demand streaming data using UEP UnEqual Protection codes. The scheme allows an end user to join the multicast channel for adata stream at ,any time to play out the requested data stream from its beginning after a fixed amount of initial delay time. Resource usage of the scheme, including server computing bandwidth,network bandwidth and client's buffer space, is only determined by the original data stream length and the initial playout delay, butindependent of either the number or the arrival pattern of individual end user requests. Thus the scheme is totally scalable with the number of end users, fully utilizing the data delivery efficiency of a multicast network.The scheme also use resources efficiently, e.g., with an initial delay of 30 and 60 seconds respectively, multicasting a 2-hour video using this scheme needs respectively about 5.5 and 4.8 times server computing bandwidth and network bandwidth of that for a single unicast delivery of the same original data stream.In addition, the scheme also tolerates packet loss transmission, thus significantly reduces the cost of implementing a reliable multicast network layer to ensure delivery of all packets.
