Empirical measurements of intrabody communication performance under varied physical configurations
Authors: Kurt Partridge, Bradley Dahlquist, Alireza Veiseh, Annie Cain, Ann Foreman, Joseph Goldberg, Gaetano Borriello
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

Intrabody communication (IBC) is a wireless communications technology that uses a person's body as the transmission medium for imperceptible electrical signals. Because communication is limited to the vicinity of a person's body, ambiguities arising from communication between personal devices and environmental devices when multiple people are present can, in theory, be solved simply. Intrabody communication also potentially allows data to be transferred when a person touches an IBC-enabled device. We have designed and constructed an intrabody communication system, modeled after Zimmerman's original design, and extended it to operate up to 38.4Kbps and to calculate signal strength. In this paper, we present quantitative measurements of data error rates and signal strength while varying hand distance to transceiver plate, electrode location on the body, touch plate size and shape, and several other factors. We find that plate size and shape have only minor effects, but that the distance to plate and the coupling mechanism significantly effect signal strength. We also find that portable devices, with poor ground coupling, suffer more significant signal attenuation. Our goal is to promote design guidelines for this technology and identify the best contexts for its effective deployment.
Software security vulnerability testing in hostile environments
Authors: Herbert H. Thompson, James A. Whittaker, Florence E. Mottay
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Traditional Black box software testing can be effective at exposing some classes of software failures. Security class failures, however, do not tend to manifest readily using these techniques. The problem is that many security failures occur in stressed environments, which appear in the field, but are often neglected during testing because of the difficulty to simulate these conditions. Software can only be considered secure if it behaves securely under all operating environments. Hostile environment testing must thus be a part of any overall testing strategy. This paper describes this necessity and a black box approach for creating such environments in order to expose security vulnerabilities.

Clairvoyant scheduling of random walks
Authors: Peter Gács
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

Two infinite walks on the same finite graph are called compatible if it is possible to introduce delays into them in such a way that they never collide. About 10 years ago, Peter Winkler asked the question: for which graphs are two independent walks compatible with positive probability. Up to now, no such graphs were found. We show in this paper that large complete graphs have this property. The question is equivalent to a certain dependent percolation with a power-law behavior: the probability that the origin is blocked at distance n but not closer decreases only polynomially fast and not, as usual, exponentially.

Update-by-dialogue: an interactive approach to database modification
Authors: G. C. H. Sharman
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

In recent years a great deal of work has been devoted to the design of interactive database query systems suitable for 'end users'. By contrast, there appears to be little comparable work on interactive facilities for database modification. This is surprising for two reasons. Firstly, update operations are of great practical significance. Users of transaction processing systems often spend a greater proportion of their time modifying a database than retrieving information from it. Secondly, update is a hard problem. It is vital to safeguard database consistency, and that implies a thorough understanding of the semantics of the data in question. A quick glance at the facilities for maintaining consistency in many current database management systems is enough to demonstrate that this is not a trivial matter.This paper describes an interactive approach to database modification which exposes the semantic problems and overcomes them. Four conceptually simple update operations - insert, delete, change and copy-are formulated in terms of a model of database consisting of entity sets and mappings. These operations lead naturally to the idea of update-by-dialogue: a system in which each of them is implemented as an interactive dialogue. The user is guided in each operation, relieving him of the burden of remembering how the database is structured and also avoiding the effects of negligence. Furthermore, the dialogues are driven from a stored description of the database structure and thus are completely general. They can be applied to any database and are even immune to changes in the database structure.

Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference
Authors: Gary Nebbett
Venue:  (2000)

:The Windows NT native application programming interface is the set of system services provided by the Windows NT executive to both user mode and kernel mode programs. These API routines are the equivalent of Unix system calls or VMS system services. The Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference provides the first comprehensive look at these so-far undocumented services. A unique tool for software developers who need to create or maintain utility applications under Windows NT 4.0 and 2000, this reference includes: documentation of the over 200 routines included in the native API, detailed description of those routines either not directly accessible via the Win32 API or that offer substantial additional functionality; example library routines and utility programs to demonstrate functionality of particular routines; coverage of kernel functions to support the debugging of user mode applications; and pointers to relevant documented functionality within the DDK. Because of its distance from the Windows NT operating system internals, the Win32 API does not allow access to the full functionality of operating system itself. The APIs native to Windows NT and 2000 provide a long-sought foothold into this functionality. This reference will help you to: write user mode code to interact with kernel mode applications; develop critical tools and technologies such as real-time systems, debuggers, analysis tools and device drivers; deepen your understanding of Windows NT internals; and learn what API changes are made with the release of Windows 2000. About the Author:Gary Nebbett first started working with operating systems when he joined the MultiMIRTOS development team at Standard Telecommunication Laboratories immediately after graduating from London University in 1982. (MultiMIRTOS was a real-time embedded operating system for the Intel 8086 processor.) Gary has served as a Senior Research Engineer in various organizations, since that time. He has focused on developing kernel-mode code for operating systems including Unix, VMS and Windows NT, and is practiced in modifying the behavior of applications for which only binary code is available. Through his investigation of system internals, he has developed applications not typically possible for a given operating system, including tools to trace system calls, reconstruct deleted files, and capture network traffic. Gary holds a BSc (Engineering) from Queen Mary College, University of London and lives in Basel, Switzerland. In his free time he enjoys squash, cross-country skiing, walking in the Alps, mountain biking in the Black Forest.

Design of a microprocessor based programmable system to process temperature information from a hot surface
Authors: Thomas Philip, Stefan Jeglinski, Richard D. Benton, Robert L. Cook
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

A CDP1802 microprocessor based stand-alone system (target system) has been designed to control a two-color pyrometer (TCP) system remotely and to process the temperature information from a simulated magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) test facility, at Mississippi State University. The analog signals from two pyrometer detectors are digitized and the temperature and emissivity of the surface are computed. The results are displayed on a 20-column printer. Data at various emissivity settings are collected with the help of a stepper motor. The measurements may be done individually or in a continuous mode. A sequence of events may be programmed into the system through a 4&times;4 key matrix. Software has been developed in FORTH, a highly structured language. The system design and development has been accomplished through stepwise refinement.

Dealing with complexity: exploratory analysis enabled by multiresolultion, multiperspective modeling
Authors: Paul K. Davis
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The objective of exploratory analysis is to gain a broad understanding of a problem domain before going into details for particular cases. Its focus is understanding comprehensively the consequences of uncertainty, which requires a good deal more than normal sensitivity analysis. Such analysis is facilitated by multiresolution, multiperspective modeling (MRMPM) structures that are becoming increasingly practical. A knowledge of related design principles can help build interfaces to more normal legacy models, which can also be used for exploration.
