A procedure to model the frequency response
Authors: J. Pleite, E. Olías, A. Barrado, A. Lázaro, J. Váquez
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Modeling the frequency response of a component or system is a suitable approach in different engineering applications in order to analyze its behavior. Sometimes it is also very interesting to model actual devices or systems in order to check their performance. In these cases, some measurements (either in the time or in the frequency domain) must be obtained from the devices or systems.A procedure of modeling the frequency response is presented in this paper. A modeling tool has been developed based on this procedure which could be adapted to different engineering applications. Some experimental results have been obtained on checking the health of an electrical transformer working in the utility grid.

This book shows which proven techniques are still valid and provides new techniques for situations taht are unique to or have a special significance in e-business projects. Based on real-world experience, 99 concise key success factors are discussed preparing the reader to manager e-business projects on time, on budject and to the satisfaction of clients.
Distributed long-lived list colouring: how to dynamically allocate frequencies in cellular networks
Authors: Naveen Garg, Marina Papatriantafilou, Philippas Tsigas
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

To avoid signal interference in mobile communication it is necessary that the frequencies used for communication within each cell are allocated so that no signal interference occurs with neighbouring cells. We model this channel allocation problem as a generalised list colouring problem and we show how to analytically measure and provide worst-case guarantees regarding request satisfiability. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been done before and gives a new perspective to the problem, as well as a clear direction for further investigation. We propose distributed approaches for solving the problem, which are able to adapt fast to temporal variations in channel demands in different cells, as well as to cope with crash failures, by limiting the failure-locality --- the size of the network that can be affected by a faulty station, in terms of the distance from that station. Our first approach is inspired by a relatively recent theorem relating graph colourings and orientations; it achieves the equivalent of the best known sequentially achievable upper bound for request satisfiability, implied by the theorem. It also employs a powerful synchronisation mechanism to achieve worst-case response time that depends only on &Delta; --- the degree of the signal interference graph --- and failure locality 4. Our second proposal is a first approach towards exploring what bound in request satisfiability is achievable without the use of extra synchronisation; by employing randomisation in frequency choices, in only one round of communication, a base station can expect to pick &fnof;/(4&Delta;) frequencies, where &fnof; is the size of the list at the node; the failure locality of this solution is only 1.

Aspect-oriented programming with model checking
Authors: Naoyasu Ubayashi, Tetsuo Tamai
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm such that crosscutting concerns including synchronization policies, resource sharing and performance optimizations over objects are modularized as aspects that are separated from objects. A compiler, called a weaver, weaves aspects and objects together into a program. In AOP, however, it is not easy to verify the correctness of a woven program because crucial behaviors are strongly influenced by aspect descriptions. In order to deal with such problem, this paper proposes an automatic verification approach using model checking that verifies whether the woven program contains unexpected behaviors such as deadlocks. The objectives of this paper are as follows: 1) to verify the correctness of AOP-based programs using model checking, 2) to provide AOP-based model checking frameworks.
The Theory and Practice of Discourse Parsing and Summarization
Authors: Daniel Marcu
Venue:  (2000)

:Until now, most discourse researchers have assumed that full semantic understanding is necessary to derive the discourse structure of texts. This book documents the first serious attempt to construct automatically and use nonsemantic computational structures for text summarization. Daniel Marcu develops a semantics-free theoretical framework that is both general enough to be applicable to naturally occurring texts and concise enough to facilitate an algorithmic approach to discourse analysis. He presents and evaluates two discourse parsing methods: one uses manually written rules that reflect common patterns of usage of cue phrases such as "however" and "in addition to"; the other uses rules that are learned automatically from a corpus of discourse structures. By means of a psycholinguistic experiment, Marcu demonstrates how a discourse-based summarizer identifies the most important parts of texts at levels of performance that are close to those of humans. Marcu also discusses how the automatic derivation of discourse structures may be used to improve the performance of current natural language generation, machine translation, summarization, question answering, and information retrieval systems.

Class Warfare in the Information Age, 1st edition
Authors: Michael Perelman
Venue:  (1998)

:The mention of class struggle evokes images of a grimy age in which bygone captains of industry callously oppressed armies of overworked and underpaid proletarians. This dark portrait of class conflict stands in sharp contrast to the glorious promise of an information age. In Class Warfare in the Information Age, Michael Perelman shows how class conflict remains a contemporary issue. He challenges the notion that, with the help of modern computer and telecommunication technologies, we can look forward to life in a well-educated society in which anybody with even a modicum of intelligence and discipline can enjoy a more than comfortable existence. In a relatively jargon-free economic and political analysis, Perelman reveals how the efforts of business to profit from the sale of information will result in the reduction of access to information, rather than the increase. He demonstrates how the treatment of information as a commodity will cause it to be more regulated and less accessible. In the future, Perelman argues, it will still become a class-based privilege to access and afford information, and the rights of individuals will disintegrate as the power of the corporate sector grows. Class Warfare in the Information Age is a refreshingly critical work that forces readers to rethink the conventional hype surrounding the information superhighway.

Recovery and crash resistance in a filing system
Authors: Joost Verhofstad
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

This paper describes mechanisms that provide the user of a filing system the dynamic facility for defining a scope within which backing out can be done on request.Check points (defining the beginning of a new scope) can dynamically be established and procedures for 'acceptance' (at the end of the scope) or 'undoing' (within or at the end of the scope) can be invoked. These scopes can be nested.It is also shown that these mechanisms can be used to provide crash resistance. After a crash the system will be left in the state it was in before it entered the current scope (or outermost scope if scopes are nested).
The design of a solid-state physical model of an automated system to be used as a test bed for control applications
Authors: Fernando G. Gonzalez, Alicia Helton, Douglas Helton, Jeffrey Smith, Eileen Thompson, Gerry Walterscheild
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

In order to develop, test, and validate control software for managing automated systems, laboratories have traditionally constructed experimental test beds using actual physical equipment (small scale). These experimental systems typically occupy a large amount of lab space, cost thousands of dollars to construct, and require considerable human expertise to operate. Using dedicated micro-controllers (programmable logic controllers), we have proposed the use of a solid-state physical model of an automated system which faithfully replicates the operating characteristics of an ensemble of physical equipment that would typically comprise an automated system. In this paper we present the design of a solid-state physical model of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Solid-state models have several unique advantages over the traditional models. First, they are inexpensive and can easily be replicated at other laboratories. Second, they can be easily reconfigured to consider alternative scenarios. Third, they can consider an emulated environment that is far more complex than those that are typically addressed by models using actual equipment. Finally, they are totally reliable and safe, and require minimal expertise to operate. This paper discusses the design and operational characteristics of the solid-state model along with its anticipated uses and current limitations.
Five dimensions of information security awareness
Venue: ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society (2001)

Until the era of the information society, information was a concern mainly for organizations whose line of business demanded a high degree of security. However, the growing use of information technology is affecting the status of information security so that it is gradually becoming an area that plays an important role in our everyday lives. As a result, information security issues should now be regarded on a par with other security issues. Using this assertion as the point of departure, this paper outlines the dimensions of information security awareness, namely its organizational, general public, socio-political, computer ethical and institutional education dimensions, along with the categories (or target groups) within each dimension.
