Keeping found things found on the web
Authors: William Jones, Harry Bruce, Susan Dumais
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

This paper describes the results of an observational study into the methods people use to manage web information for re-use. People observed in our study used a diversity of methods and associated tools. For example, several participants emailed web addresses (URLs) along with comments to themselves and to others. Other methods observed included printing out web pages, saving web pages to the hard drive, pasting the address for a web page into a document and pasting the address into a personal web site. Ironically, two web browser tools that have been explicitly developed to help users track web information - the bookmarking tool and the history list - were not widely used by participants in this study. A functional analysis helps to explain the observed diversity of methods. Methods vary widely in the functions they provide. For example, a web address pasted into a self-addressed email can provide an important reminding function together with a context of relevance: The email arrives in an inbox which is checked at regular intervals and the email can include a few lines of text that explain the URL's relevance and the actions to be taken. On the other hand, for most users in the study, the bookmarking tool ("Favorites" or "Bookmarks" depending on the browser) provided neither a reminding function nor a context of relevance. The functional analysis can help to assess the likely success of various tools, current and proposed.
Hybridizing Hierarchical and Weighted Linguistic Rules
Authors: R. Alcalá, J. Casillas, O. Cordón, F. Herrera, I. Zwir
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In this paper, we propose the hybridization of both hierarchical and weighted linguistic fuzzy rules to derive Hierarchical Systems of Weighted Linguistic Rules. To do so, an evolutionary optimization process jointly performing a rule selection and the derivation of rule weights is developed.
Performance Analysis of Communication Systems with Non-Markovian Stochastic Petri Nets
Authors: Reinhard German
Venue:  (2000)

:Provides a clear and systematic introduction to the use of stochastic Petri nets in communications systems engineering and the analysis techniques and algorithms used in performance evaluation. The field of communication systems is full of complex design questions concerning performance and reliability. Since data traffic and errors occur in a random fashion, stochastic models are used for developing and comparing systems. In particular, stochastic Petri nets have become a popular tool for the description and automatic evaluation of such models. The use of non-Markovian models has become important as they allow more flexibility.This book * Provides a clear exposition of the use of stochastic Petri nets in communication systems engineering* Introduces the reader to the analysis techniques and algorithsm used in performance evaluation* Provides an accompanying example to clarify the use of each definition, concept and algorithm* Mathematica routines used for implementing the algorithms are available on the Wiley ftp siteThe text will appeal to researchers, industrial engineers, and graduate students studying communication systems and stochastic modeling. The numerous examples will benefit those working in performance evaluation, reliability, operations research, queueing theory and computer science.The Mathematica routines used for implementing the algorithms are available for downloading on the following Wiley ftp site: ftp://ftp.wiley.co.uk/pub/books/german
Restoring Prosperity: How Workers and Managers Are Forging a New Industrial Culture, 1st edition
Authors: Wellford W. Wilms
Venue:  (1996)

:These are troubling times in the American workplace. Despite assurances from economists and politicians, job insecurity and corporate weakness are on the rise. We don't read about companies hiring; we read about companies firing, American corporations, bruised by international competition and rapidly changing markets, are fighting furiously to survive. At a time when unions seem powerless and irrelevant, and when management seems convinced that employees should be treated as costs instead of assets, a new economic vision is desperately needed. Restoring Prosperity provides that vision, a provocative new economic model that offers hope for a unified workplace and a second industrial revolution. The product of a massive, first-of-its-kind study conducted at the University of California at Los Angeles, Restoring Prosperity looks at four companies and their struggles to succeed in the new economy. Wellford Wilms, a professor of education at UCLA who has spent his career studying the relationship between education and economic productivity, and his team of graduate students didn't just occasionally visit these companies. For five years, armed with employee badges and notepads, Wilms and his team worked in the steel rolling mills at USS-POSCO, built Geo Prizms and Toyota Corollas at General Motors and Toyota's NUMMI plant, worked the assembly line at Douglas Aircraft, and joined design teams at Hewlett-Packard. Each of these companies was attempting to transform itself in order to survive, and each had dramatically different results. With uninhibited access to all levels of company management and labor, and with the sort of personal trust gained only after several years of working side by side with fellow employees, Wilms and his researchers were able to carefully discern the human side of the trauma of change and define a set of counterintuitive rules to govern workplace reform. Wilms enriches his analysis with the voices and personalities of those engaged in the ef The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Formal Analysis of a Space-Craft Controller Using SPIN
Authors: Klaus Havelund, Mike Lowry, John Penix
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2001)

This paper documents an application of the finite state model checker Spin to formally analyze a multithreaded plan execution module. The plan execution module is one component of NASA's New Millennium Remote Agent, an artificial intelligence-based space-craft control system architecture which launched in October of 1998 as part of the Deep Space 1 mission. The bottom layer of the plan execution module architecture is a domain specific language, named Esl (Executive Support Language), implemented as an extension to multithreaded Common Lisp. Esl supports the construction of reactive control mechanisms for autonomous robots and space-craft. For this case study, we translated the Esl services for managing interacting parallel goal-and-event driven processes into the Promela input language of Spin. A total of five previously undiscovered concurrency errors were identified within the implementation of Esl. According to the Remote Agent programming team, the effort has had a major impact, locating errors that would not have been located otherwise and, in one case, identifying a major design flaw. In fact, in a different part of the system, a concurrency bug identical to one discovered by this study escaped testing and caused a deadlock during an in-flight experiment 96 million kilometers from earth. The work additionally motivated the introduction of procedural abstraction in terms of inline procedures into Spin.

Passive acoustic knock tracking for interactive windows
Authors: Joseph A. Paradiso, Che King Leo, Nisha Checka, Kaijen Hsiao
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

We describe a novel interface that locates and characterizes knocks and taps atop a large glass window. Our current setup uses four contact piezoelectric pickups located near the sheet's corners to record the acoustic wavefront coming from the knocks. A digital signal processor extracts relevent characteristics from these signals, such as amplitudes, frequency components and differential timings, which are used to estimate the location of the hit and provide other parameters, including the rough accuracy of this estimate, the nature of each hit (e.g., knuckle knock, metal tap, or fist bang), and the strike intensity. This system requires only simple hardware, needs no special adaptation of the glass pane, and allows all transducers to be mounted on the inner surface, hence it is quite easy to deploy as a retrofit to existing windows. This opens many applications, such as an interactive storefront, with projected content controlled by knocks on the display window.

The Essential Guide to Managed Extensions for C++ provides a comprehensive guide for programmers writing code in Managed Extensions for C++ (MC++). The information in this book comes straight from the horse's mouth-both authors have been key members of the Visual C++ .NET compiler development team and have spent most of their time implementing the language and educating others about managed C++. Managed Extensions for C++ are extensions added to the Visual C++ .NET compiler to allow developers access to the functionality provided by the .NET Framework. Visual C++ .NET is the only .NET language that can generate both native and managed code, and it has a rich set of features to let you write managed applications for the .NET platform.
Ensuring the successful adoption of discrete event simulation in a manufacturing environment
Authors: J. Michael Knoll, Joseph A. Heim
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Discrete event simulation has long been recognized as a valuable tool for manufacturers, but converting the recognition of value into an embrace of the technology can be a challenge. Like most technologies, with which an organization has little or no experience, timing and the manner in which simulation is introduced can significantly influence whether its adoption will succeed or fail. Without careful planning and adequate foresight, simulation technology will not prove its benefits in the workplace and will be viewed as an unnecessary expense. In this paper, we examine the characteristics that signal the need for discrete event simulation, and we discuss the strategies and methods we have found to ensure its successful adoption.
The designers' outpost: a tangible interface for collaborative web site
Authors: Scott R. Klemmer, Mark W. Newman, Ryan Farrell, Mark Bilezikjian, James A. Landay
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

In our previous studies into web design, we found that pens, paper, walls, and tables were often used for explaining, developing, and communicating ideas during the early phases of design. These wall-scale paper-based design practices inspired The Designers' Outpost, a tangible user interface that combines the affordances of paper and large physical workspaces with the advantages of electronic media to support information design. With Outpost, users collaboratively author web site information architectures on an electronic whiteboard using physical media (Post-it notes and images), structuring and annotating that information with electronic pens. This interaction is enabled by a touch-sensitive SMART Board augmented with a robust computer vision system, employing a rear-mounted video camera for capturing movement and a front-mounted high-resolution camera for capturing ink. We conducted a participatory design study with fifteen professional web designers. The study validated that Outpost supports information architecture work practice, and led to our adding support for fluid transitions to other tools.

The concept is similar to the original CAVE&copy; [1], but it uses a novel web-based visualization system running on top of a PC-cluster with Windows XP installed. Compared to other common installations based on expensive high-end unix graphics systems, costs are reduced by up to one magnitude (depending on the installation setup) using of the shelf PC and projector equipment. Using the developed external API X-Rooms systems can be deployed in the same application domain as conventional CAVE systems; in addition several new areas are open for less expensive systems. Processing VRML the X-Rooms system is a high end visualization platform for interaction with online 3D web content. Furthermore, the X-Rooms content can be driven by the web.
Security issues surrounding programming languages for mobile code: JAVA vs. Safe-Tcl
Authors: Stefanos Gritzalis, George Aggelis
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (1998)

JAVA is claimed to be a system programming language having a number of advantages over traditional programming languages. These advantages stem from the fact that it is a platform - independent language, thus promising truly network oriented computing as long as a nearly universal system for distributing applications. On the other hand, although being an interpreted, much simpler, scripting language, Safe-Tcl was proposed as an executable contents type of MIME and thus as the standard language for executable contents within email. Consequently, both languages claim to be suitable for transmitting executable content over the Internet, in other words manipulating mobile code. However, the ability to download, integrate, and execute code from a remote computer raises serious concerns about JAVA's as well as Safe-Tcl's effect on network security. In this paper, the potential security risks of mobile code are discussed, a brief introduction to both programming languages is given, and the details of each of the proposed security mechanisms are presented. Finally a comparison of the two security models is given, centered upon the efficiency and flexibility of current implementations as well as upcoming extensions.
A Note on Park and Chin's Algorithm
Authors: Ronaldo Fumio Hashimoto, Junior Barrera
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

A finite subset of ZZ^2 is called a structuring element. A decomposition of a structuring element A is a sequence of subsets of the elementary square (i.e., the 3 x 3 square centered at the origin) such that the Minkowski addition of them is equal to A. Park and Chin developed an algorithm for finding the optimal decomposition of simply connected structuring elements (i.e., 8-connected structuring elements that contain no holes), imposing the restriction that all subsets in this decomposition are also simply connected. In this paper, we show that there exist infinite families of simply connected structuring elements that have decompositions but are not decomposable according to Park and Chin's definition.
