Continuous-Time Modeling and Simulation: Using Turbo Pascal and Ctms/TP
Authors: Lucio Tavernini
Venue:  (1996)

:While several books on simulation exist for engineers, this is the first book of its kind suitable for use by mathematicians. It covers differential equations with time (transport) delays in detail as well as problems with hysteresis. Uses the differential automaton model of hysteresis, which is an approach quite different from the well-known classical approach.Volume 2 provides an introduction to a very broad class of mathematical model-building techniques and illustrates how these models can be simulated using CTMS (Continuous-Time Model Simulation) embedded into an existing procedural programming language, Turbo Pascal. This simulation package, CTMS/TP, is simple, accurate, interactive, user-friendly and is IBM-PC compatible. It requires a hard disk with a minimum of two megabytes of free storage space, Turbo Pascal 7.0, DOS 3.0 or a higher release and a minimum of 512 Kbytes of RAM. A 3 1/2" diskette with the CTMS/TP simulation software is enclosed with the book. Replacement diskettes in the The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Location based localized alternate, disjoint, multi-path and component routing schemes for wireless networks
Authors: Xu Lin, Mouhsine Lakshdisi, Ivan Stojmenovic
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

In this paper we propose four schemes that improve the performance of greedy routing method. In the alternate method, the i-th received copy of message m is forwarded to i-th best neighbor, according to the selected criterion (it fails if number of copies exceeds number of neighbors). In the disjoint method, each intermediate node, upon receiving m, will forward it to its best neighbor among those who never received the message (it fails if no such neighbor exists). In the multi-path method, the source node S forwards m to c best neighbors according to distance from D. Each of c created copies afterwards follows the original, alternate, or disjoint method (these copies may interact since copy numbers are not communicated). Component routing method follows original greedy method until a failure node F. Such node F forwards the message to one node (using distance criteria) in each connected component of its neighbors, and then withdraws from the network for that message m (that is, neighboring nodes will ignore F when forwarding further copies of m). Thus F creates c copies of the message, where c is the number of connected components in the subgraph of its neighbors. All proposed methods are loop-free, have improved delivery rate over greedy method and reduced flooding rates compared to other existing methods. Component routing method guarantees delivery of m in connected graphs (even if the location of D is inaccurate).

OSPF: Anatomy of an Internet Routing Protocol
Authors: John T. Moy
Venue:  (1998)

:Written for TCP/IP network administrators, protocol designers, and network application developers, this book gives the most complete and practical view ever into the inner workings of Internet routing. The book focuses on OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), a common TCP/IP routing protocol that provides robust and efficient routing support in the most demanding Internet environments. A methodical and detailed description of the protocol is offered and OSPF's role within the wider context of a TCP/IP network is demonstrated. Practical throughout, the book provides not only a theoretical description of Internet routing, but also a real-world look into how theory translates into practice. It shows how algorithms are implemented, and how the routing protocols function in a working network where transmission lines and routers routinely break down.You will find clear explanations of such routing fundamentals as how a router forwards packets, IP addressing, CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing), the routing table, Internet routing architecture, and the two main routing technologies: Distance Vector and link-state algorithms. OSPF is discussed in depth, with an examination of the rationale behind OSPF's design decisions and how it has evolved to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet environment. OSPF topics covered by the book include the following:OSPF areas and virtual links NBMA (Nonbroadcast multi-access) and Point-to-MultiPoint network segments OSPF configuration and management Interaction with other routing protocols OSPF cryptographic authentication OSPF protocol extensions, including the Demand Circuit extensions and the multicast extensions to OSPF (MOSPF) An OSPF FAQ IP multicast and multicast routing are also discussed. Methods for debugging routing problems are explained, including a catalog of available debugging tools. The book also offers side-by-side comparisons of all the unicast and multicast routing protocols currently in use in the Internet. You will come away from this book with a sophisticated understanding of Internet routing and of the OSPF protocol in particular. Moreover, the book's practical focus will enable you to put this deeper understanding to work in your network environment.

Requirements-based product line engineering
Authors: Mike Mannion, Hermann Kaindl
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

Reuse and requirements are very important for efficient and successful systems development. This tutorial presents the experiences of requirements reuse using a Method for Requirements Authoring and Management (MRAM). MRAM is a method for establishing and selecting from product line requirements. A product line is a group of products within the same market segment e.g. mobile phones. TRAM (Tool for Requirements Authoring and Management) is a software tool to support MRAM that utilises current proven office technology (MS-Word, MS-Access). The tutorial presents the results of MRAM/TRAM as it has been applied to product line engineering of a real-world application.
From desktop to phonetop: a UI for web interaction on very small devices
Authors: Jonathan Trevor, David M. Hilbert, Bill N. Schilit, Tzu Khiau Koh
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

While it is generally accepted that new Internet terminals should leverage the installed base of Web content and services, the differences between desktop computers and very small devices makes this challenging. Indeed, the browser interaction model has evolved on desktop computers having a unique combination of user interface (large display, keyboard, pointing device), hardware, and networking capabilities. In contrast, Internet enabled cell phones, typically with 3-10 lines of text, sacrifice usability as Web terminals in favor of portability and other functions. Based on our earlier experiences building and using a Web browser for small devices we propose a new UI that splits apart the integrated activities of link following and reading into separate modes: navigating to; and acting on web content. This interaction technique for very small devices is both simpler for navigating and allows users to do more than just read. The M-Links system incorporates modal browsing interaction and addresses a number of associated problems. We have built our system with an emphasis on simplicity and user extensibility and describe the design, implementation and evolution of the user interface.

Charging from sampled network usage
Authors: Nick Duffield, Carsten Lund, Mikkel Thorup
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement (2001)

IP flows have heavy-tailed packet and byte size distributions. This make them poor candidates for uniform sampling---i.e. selecting 1 in N flows---since omission or inclusion of a large flow can have a large effect on estimated total traffic. Flows selected in this manner are thus unsuitable for use in usage sensitive billing. We propose instead using a size-dependent sampling scheme which gives priority to the larger contributions to customer usage. This turns the heavy tails to our advantage; we can obtain accurate estimates of customer usage from a relatively small number of important samples.The sampling scheme allows us to control error when charging is sensitive to estimated usage only above a given base level. A refinement allows us to strictly limit the chance that a customers estimated usage will exceed their actual usage. Furthermore, we show that a secondary goal, that of controlling the rate at which samples are produced, can be fulfilled provided the billing cycle is sufficiently long. All these claims are supported by experiments on flow traces gathered from a commercial network.

Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway
Authors: Clifford Stoll
Venue:  (1996)

:Ah, the information highway. No phenomenon in modern times has received more attention, held out more promise, nor achieved more mythic stature than the information highway. This computer utopia is said to educate, entertain, and inform. It will supply us with vast amounts of information, put us in close touch with one another and turn our fractious world into a global village. Not so, says Cliff Stoll. Stoll knows. He's the author of The Cuckoo's Egg - the bestselling book about how he caught German spies prowling through computers - and a genuine legend on the Internet. Involved with networks since their earliest days, Stoll has watched the Internet grow from an improbable research project into a communications juggernaut. He knows computers; he loves his networked community. And yet... Stoll asks: when do the networks really educate, and when are they simply diversions from learning? Is electronic mail useful, or might it be so much electronic noise? Why do online services promise so much, yet deliver so little? What makes computers so universally frustrating? Silicon Snake Oil is the first book that intelligently questions where the Internet is leading us. Stoll looks at our network as it is, not as it's promised to be. Yet this is no diatribe against technology, nor is it one more computer jock adding his voice to the already noisy chorus debating the uses of the networks. Following his personal inquiry into the nature of computers, Cliff meets a Chinese astronomer with an abacus, gets lost in a cave, and travels across the Midwest on a home-brew railroad cart. And, at the end of the journey, we're all a bit wiser about what this thing called the information highway really was, is, could, and should be. Grounded in common sense, Silicon Snake Oil is a meditation full of passion but devoid of hysteria. Anyone concerned with computers and our future will find it startling, wholly original, and ultimately wise.
