Secondary task display attributes: optimizing visualizations for cognitive task suitability and interference avoidance
Authors: C. M. Chewar, D. Scott McCrickard, Ali Ndiwalana, Chris North, Jon Pryor, David Tessendorf
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

We found that established display design guidelines for focal images cannot be extended to images displayed as a secondary task in a dual-task situation. This paper describes an experiment that determines a new ordering guideline for secondary task image attributes according to human cognitive ability to extract information. The imperative for alternate guidelines is based on the difference in an image's ability to convey meaning, which decreases when moved from a focal to a secondary task situation. Secondary task attribute ordering varies with the level of degradation in the primary task. Furthermore, attribute effectiveness may be particular to types of visual operations relating to cognitive tasks.

:Over the course of one treacherous year, Cisco Systems, the company that wired the Information Age, has seen its stock price crumble and its market domination challenged. For the first time ever, there are whispers about this Silicon Valley titan. Does Cisco still have what it takes to continue its mastery over the New Economy, a world in which lightening-fast shifts in technology and market demand can destroy, in the blink of an eye, billion-dollar corporations and garage start-ups alike? "A great book about a great company by a great writer."â€” Guy Kawasaki CEO, Garage.com and author of Rules for Revolutionaries In this engrossing book, bestselling author and high-tech chronicler Jeffrey S. Young goes deep inside the new information technology that is radically changing the face of business and, at the same time, profoundly touching each of our lives. Standing alone in the eye of this electronic maelstrom is Cisco Systems, a company whose personality and drive mirror that of its tenacious CEO, John Chambers.Through guts and guile, Chambers has built an extraordinarily aggressive company that owns the infrastructure through which more than 75 percent of the world's data travels. This remarkable achievement, however, is now under withering assault from all sides. Today, Cisco's domination of the $100 billion net-working market is threatened not only by such multinational corporations as Nortel and Lucent but also by a new breed of start-ups that are sprouting like weeds. Youngthe giants at their own game. As John Chambers has said on many occasions, the guys he fears most are the ones who can start out with a blank sheet of paper. Today, there are lots of guys with blank sheets of paper.s is a story of packets and photons, routers, fiber optics, and waves in an era of limitless wealth and opportunity. Yet it is also a human tale, with a handful of business warriors trying to take control of the future in the midst of technology wars and brutal competition.

Understanding TCP Vegas: a duality model
Authors: Steven H. Low, Larry L. Peterson, Limin Wang
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

We view congestion control as a distributed primal--dual algorithm carried out by sources and links over a network to solve a global optimization problem. We describe a multilink multisource model of the TCP Vegas congestion control mechanism. The model provides a fundamental understanding of delay, fairness and loss properties of TCP Vegas. It implies that Vegas stabilizes around a weighted proportionally fair allocation of network capacity when there is sufficient buffering in the network. It clarifies the mechanism through which persistent congestion may arise and its consequences, and suggests how we might use REM active queue management to prevent it. We present simulation results that validate our conclusions.

A Brief History of the Future: From Radio Days to Internet Years in a Lifetime
Authors: John Naughton
Venue:  (2000)

:The Internet is the most remarkable achievement of humankind since the pyramids. A millennium from now, historians will look back at it and marvel that a people equipped with such clumsy tools succeeded in creating such a leviathan. Yet even as the Net pervades our lives, we begin to take it for granted. Many have lost the capacity for wonder. Most of us have no idea where the Internet came from, how it works, or who created it and why. And even fewer have any idea what it means for society and the future. John Naughton has written a warm and passionate book whose heroes are the visionaries who laid the foundations of the postmodern world. A Brief History of the Future celebrates the engineers and scientists who implemented their dreams in hardware and software and explains the values and ideas that drove them. Although its subject seems technical, the book in fact is a highly personal account. John Naughton writes about the Net the way Nick Hornby writes about soccer -- as a part of life, and as a key influence on his own voyage from solitary child to established academic and writer. A Brief History of the Future is an intimate celebration of vision and altruism, ingenuity and determination, and above all of the power of ideas to transform the world.

Postorder B-tree construction
Authors: Lawrence W. West
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

A method is presented for building B-trees from a sorted list of records without node splitting. There are several advantages to such an approach. The number of records stored per node can be independently specified for each level of the tree, what Knuth calls a generalized B-tree. Once a node is filled it need not be referenced again. If the tree is being stored on a DASD the number of accesses, O(N/d) for N keys and an order-d tree, will be less than required for methods that use node splitting.
Computer Vision and Image Processing: A Practical Approach Using Cviptools with Cdrom, 1st edition
