Dynamic weaving for aspect-oriented programming
Authors: Andrei Popovici, Thomas Gross, Gustavo Alonso
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

When using Aspect Oriented Programming in the development of software components, a developer must understand the program units actually changed by weaving, how they behave, and possibly correct the aspects used. Support for rapid AOP prototyping and debugging is therefore crucial in such situations. Rapid prototyping is difficult with current aspect weaving tools because they do not support dynamic changes. This paper describes PROSE (PROgrammable extenSions of sErvices), a platform based on Java which addresses dynamic AOP. Aspects are expressed in the same source language as the application (Java), and PROSE allows aspects to be woven, unwoven, or replaced at run-time.

Authors: F. H. Lochovsky, D. C. Tsichritzis
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

User performance as well as system related considerations should be part of the DBMS selection process. However, appropriate procedures and measures for determining user performance characteristics of a DBMS are lacking. This paper describes a methodology and proposes a set of measures for determining the user performance level of the data model and data language of a DBMS. The methodology was applied to three DBMS's having different data models and data languages and the results of its application are discussed.

An inheritance-based technique for building simulation proofs incrementally
Authors: Idit Keidar, Roger I. Khazan, Nancy Lynch, Alex Shvartsman
Venue: ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) (2002)

This paper presents a formal technique for incremental construction of system specifications, algorithm descriptions, and simulation proofs showing that algorithms meet their specifications.The technique for building specifications and algorithms incrementally allows a child specification or algorithm to inherit from its parent by two forms of incremental modification: (a) signature extension, where new actions are added to the parent, and (b) specialization (subtyping), where the child's behavior is a specialization (restriction) of the parent's behavior. The combination of signature extension and specialization provides a powerful and expressive incremental modification mechanism for introducing new types of behavior without overriding behavior of the parent; this mechanism corresponds to the subclassing for extension form of inheritance.In the case when incremental modifications are applied to both a parent specification S and a parent algorithm A, the technique allows a simulation proof showing that the child algorithm A&prime; implements the child specification S&prime; to be constructed incrementally by extending a simulation proof that algorithm A implements specification S. The new proof involves reasoning about the modifications only, without repeating the reasoning done in the original simulation proof.The paper presents the technique mathematically, in terms of automata. The technique has been used to model and verify a complex middleware system; the methodology and results of that experiment are summarized in this paper.

Windows 2000 and Mainframe Integration
Authors: William H. Zack
Venue:  (1999)

:Ninety percent of today's enterprise networks are heterogeneous: many of these consist of Windows NT subsystems that have been built into legacy IBM mainframe environments. Setting up Windows NT not only to coexist, but to function optimally, in these environments presents unique challenges. Network architects and administrators require an explanation of the subject matter using terms and analogies that are familiar and based upon an understanding of their current working background. Additionally, with the approach of Windows 2000, the newest version of NT, manufacturers such as Hitachi, Amdahl, Compaq, and Digital have announced their intention to build mainframe class machines that will run Windows NT. Microsoft has responded by encouraging the development of tools to insure that Windows NT runs effectively on large-scale hardware; Windows 2000 will include such features. Thus the demand for system integration know-how is growing. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Combining multiple classifiers for text categorization
Authors: Khalid Al-Kofahi, Alex Tyrrell, Arun Vachher, Tim Travers, Peter Jackson
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

A major problem facing online information services is how to index and supplement large document collections with respect to a rich set of categories. We focus upon the routing of case law summaries to various secondary law volumes in which they should be cited. Given the large number (> 13,000) of closely related categories, this is a challenging task that is unlikely to succumb to a single algorithmic solution. Our fully implemented and recently deployed system shows that a superior classification engine for this task can be constructed from a combination of classifiers. The multi-classifier approach helps us leverage all the relevant textual features and meta data, and appears to generalize to related classification tasks.
Digital Mantras: The Languages of Abstract and Virtual Worlds
Authors: Steven R. Holtzman
Venue:  (1995)

: "This well-written, erudite romp through several intellectual traditions is reminiscent of Douglas Hofstader's G&ouml;del, Escher, Bach." -- Jim Gasperini, Wired "A delight to read, Digital Mantras is itself written in a musical style . . . so that the total effect is that of a highly structured, self-referential experience of learning and intelligence, like a Bach fugue." -- The Bloomsbury Review Computer technology is making possible new worlds of expression that are already being explored by a growing subculture of artists, musicians, virtual reality enthusiasts, and cyberpunks. In Digital Mantras, Steven Holtzman synthesizes ideas from a number of different disciplines to arrive at a new philosophy of creativity for the digital age. Blending ideas from music, computing, art, and philosophy, with biographical and historical anecdotes and a thread of mysticism, Holtzman gives us new ways to think about the integration of computers into the creative process. He shows how computers will change the way we create, and reveals the exciting potential for entirely new forms of expression. Running throughout the book are episodes from Holtzman's own sometimes mystical journey in search of the personal aesthetic he presents. Holtzman explores the presence and use of structure in fields as diverse as the development of ancient human languages, the philosophy of the Buddhist monk Nagarjuna and the linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, the music of Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky, and the pioneering grammars of Panini and Noam Chomsky. He then turns to the use of computers for building abstract and virtual worlds in language, music, and art as well as virtual reality, and surveys the work of AI pioneer Terry Winograd, composers Gottfried Michael Koenig and Iannis Xenakis, and artist Harold Cohen. Holtzman concludes by discussing the aesthetic implications of these new worlds. He introduces the concept of digital expression, along with examples that hint at its far-reaching possibilities.

User modelling for live help systems: initial results
Authors: Johan Aberg, Nahid Shahmehri, Dennis Maciuszek
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM conference on Electronic Commerce (2001)

This paper explores the role of user modelling in live help systems for e-commerce web sites. There are several potential benefits with user modelling in this context: 1) Human assistants can use the personal information in the user models to provide the users with efficient support tailored to their personal needs; 2) Assistants can be more comfortable in their supporting role; 3) Consultation resources can be saved, and thus, financial savings can be made for the e-commerce company. A user modelling approach has been implemented and deployed in a real web environment as part of a live help system. Following the deployment we have analysed consultation dialogue logs and answers to a questionnaire for participating assistants. The initial results show that assistants consider user modelling to be helpful and that consultation dialogues can be an important source for user model data collection.

Illuminating clay: a 3-D tangible interface for landscape analysis
Authors: Ben Piper, Carlo Ratti, Hiroshi Ishii
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

This paper describes a novel system for the real-time computational analysis of landscape models. Users of the system - called Illuminating Clay - alter the topography of a clay landscape model while the changing geometry is captured in real-time by a ceiling-mounted laser scanner. A depth image of the model serves as an input to a library of landscape analysis functions. The results of this analysis are projected back into the workspace and registered with the surfaces of the model.We describe a scenario for which this kind of tool has been developed and we review past work that has taken a similar approach. We describe our system architecture and highlight specific technical issues in its implementation.We conclude with a discussion of the benefits of the system in combining the tangible immediacy of physical models with the dynamic capabilities of computational simulations.
