Woody Leonhard Teaches Microsoft Office, 1st edition
Authors: Woody Leonhard
Venue:  (1998)

:Based on extensive testing of Office 2000, due to be released in the Spring of 1999, I feel very confident in asserting that Microsoft will continue to roll over the Office suite market. In most corporations I'd look for a wholesale switch from Office 95 and 97 to Office 2000, over a remarkably short period of time - it really is *that* much better. Experienced Office users who try Office 2000 won't be willing to go back to the earlier versions, and for good reason: each of the applications has several key new features that will pay for the upgrade in days or (at most) weeks. Yes, the emphasis in Office 2000 lies in Web integration. But even if you never use the Web, Microsoft has created dozens of compelling new capabilities that every Office user will want, and ultimately need, to get their work done. Beyond Office 2000 the crystal ball grows a little murkier. I, for one, hope that Microsoft concentrates on three areas. First, there's a crying need to make the pieces of Office work together better: even in Office 2000 it's ridiculously difficult to bring a name from Outlook into a Word document, for example; using the painfully slow NetShow to deliver a PowerPoint presentation will tax the patience of a saint. Second, Microsoft needs to listen to its customers better, to smooth out the hundreds of niggling little problems that bedevil us all - from email inboxes that can't be shared in Outlook, to automatic Excel formula "corrections" that clobber perfectly good formulas, to Word paragraph numbering schemes that fall far short of legal offices' needs. Third, Microsoft has an enormous amount of work to do to make the Office package more consistent - a "template" should work the same whether it's in Word or Excel or PowerPoint or FrontPage; a text search that's valid in Word should also work in Publisher or Outlook. Will Microsoft be able to rise to the challenges of 2001 and beyond? Frankly, I'm not overly optimistic. Now that Office has effectively taken over the office suite marketplace, Microsoft may grow less paranoid, and devote too few resources to the "Office 10" design and development effort. That would really be a pity, as there's so much work left to do, so many things that could and should be improved. The only real competition for the next version of Office will be the older version - and that does not bode well for us consumers.

Great Ideas in Computer Science: A Gentle Introduction, 2nd edition
Authors: Alan W. Biermann
Venue:  (1997)

:In Great Ideas in Computer Science: A Gentle Introduction, Alan Biermann presents the "great ideas" of computer science that together comprise the heart of the field. He condenses a great deal of complex material into a manageable, accessible form. His treatment of programming, for example, presents only a few features of Pascal and restricts all programs to those constructions. Yet most of the important lessons in programming can be taught within these limitations. The student's knowledge of programming then provides the basis for understanding ideas in compilation, operating systems, complexity theory, noncomputability, and other topics. Whenever possible, the author uses common words instead of the specialized vocabulary that might confuse readers. Readers of the book will learn to write a variety of programs in Pascal, design switching circuits, study a variety of Von Neumann and parallel architectures, hand simulate a computer, examine the mechanisms of an operating system, classify various computations as tractable or intractable, learn about noncomputability, and explore many of the important issues in artificial intelligence. This second edition has new chapters on simulation, operating systems, and networks. In addition, the author has upgraded many of the original chapters based on student and instructor comments, with a view toward greater simplicity and readability.

PDS/PIO: lightweight libraries for collective parallel I/O
Authors: Judy Sturtevant, Mark Christon, Philip D. Heermann
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

PDS/PIO is a lightweight, parallel interface designed to support efficient transfers of massive, grid-based, simulation data among memory, disk, and tape subsystems. The higher-level PDS (Parallel Data Set) interface manages data with tensor and unstructured grid abstractions, while the lower-level PIO (Parallel Input/Output) interface accesses data arrays with arbitrary permutation, and provides communication and collective I/O operations. Higher-level data abstraction for finite element applications is provided by PXI (Parallel Exodus Interface), which supports, in parallel, functionality of Exodus II, a finite element data model developed at Sandia National Laboratories. The entire interface is implemented in C with Fortran-callable PDS and PXI wrappers.

Using genetic programming for the induction of novice procedural programming solution algorithms
Authors: Nelishia Pillay
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper describes a genetic programming system for the induction of solutions to novice procedural programming problems. This genetic programming system will form part of a generic architecture for the development of intelligent programming tutors for the procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. An account of the primitives and system parameters needed for the derivation of solutions to problems for each of the introductory procedural programming topics is provided. This is followed by an analysis of the solutions induced by the genetic programming system. Finally, the paper discusses the future work that will be carried as part of the initiative to evaluate genetic programming as a means of inducing solutions to novice procedural and object-oriented programming problems.

Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Peek-A-Drawer is a new communication device that uses furniture to support lightweight communication between people. It provides virtual shared drawers that connect family members who are located at a distance. When a user puts something in the upper drawer and closes it, a photograph is taken automatically and the image appears in the lower drawer at a distant place. The operation is as simple as using a drawer, allowing even children to communicate with their grandparents. As the camera only takes pictures of objects inside the drawer, privacy is assured.
Understanding the impact of equipment and process changes with a heterogeneous semiconductor manufacturing simulation environment
Authors: Jeffrey W. Herrmann, Brian F. Conaghan, Laurent Henn-Lecordier, Praveen Mellacheruvu, Manh-Quan Nguyen, Gary W. Rubloff, Rock Z. Shi
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Simulation models are useful to predict and understand the impact of changes to a manufacturing system. Typical factory simulation models include the parts being manufactured in the factory and the people and resources processing and handling the parts. However, these models do not include equipment or process details, which can affect operational performance such as cycle time and inventory. Separate models are used to evaluate processes and equipment. Thus, it is difficult to evaluate the operational impact of equipment or process changes. However, this information could help factory managers and manufacturing process engineers make better decisions when changing processes or selecting equipment configurations. This paper describes a heterogeneous simulation environment for understanding how equipment and process changes affect the performance of a wafer fabrication facility. This integrated tool incorporates response surface models that describe process behavior, operational and optimization models of equipment behavior, and a discrete-event simulation model of factory operations. Thus, the tool can measure how process changes and equipment configuration changes change the system performance. We have applied this tool to a specific wafer fab problem.
Two-level additive Schwarz preconditioners for the h-p version of the Galerkin boundary element method for 2-d problems
Authors: T. Tran, E. P. Stephan
Venue: Computing (2001)

We study two-level additive Schwarz preconditioners for the h-p version of the Galerkin boundary element method when used to solve hypersingular integral equations of the first kind, which arise from the Neumann problems for the Laplacian in two dimensions. Overlapping and non-overlapping methods are considered. We prove that the non-overlapping preconditioner yields a system of equations having a condition number bounded by c(1 + log p)2 maxi + logHi/hi) where Hi is the length of the i-th subdomain, hi is the maximum length of the elements in this subdomain, and p is the maximum polynomial degree used. For the overlapping method, we prove that the condition number is bounded by c(l + log H/z (I + logp)2 where z is the size of the overlap and H = maxi Hi. We also discuss the use of the non-overlapping method when the mesh is geometrically graded. The condition number in that case is bounded by c log2 M, where M is the degrees of freedom.
