Synthesis of fractional gaussian noise using linear approximation for generating self-similar network traffic
Authors: Sergio Ledesma, Derong Liu
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2000)

The present paper focuses on self-similar network traffic generation. Network traffic modeling studies the generation of synthetic sequences. The generated sequences must have similar features to the measured traffic. Exact methods for generating self-similar sequences are not appropriate for long traces. Our main objective in the present paper is to improve the efficiency of Paxson's method for synthesizing self-similar network traffic. Paxson's method uses a fast, approximate synthesis for the power spectrum of the FGN and uses the inverse Fourier transform to obtain the time-domain sequences. We demonstrate that a linear approximation can be used to determine the power spectrum of the FGN. This linear approximation reduces the complexity of the computation without compromising the accuracy in synthesizing the power spectrum of the FGN. Our results show that long traces can be generated in much less time. To compare our method with existing ones, we will measure the running time in generating long and short sample paths from the FGN. We will also conduct experiments to show that our method can generate self-similar traffic for specified Hurst parameters with high accuracy.

Sampling and concentration values of incomplete bibliographies
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

This article studies concentration aspects of bibliographies. More, in particular, we study the impact of incompleteness of such a bibliography on its concentration values (i.e., its degree of inequality of production of its sources). Incompleteness is modeled by sampling in the complete bibliography. The model is general enough to comprise truncation of a bibliography as well as a systematic sample on sources or items. In all cases we prove that the sampled bibliography (or incomplete one) has a higher concentration value than the complete one. These models, hence, shed some light on the measurement of production inequality in incomplete bibliographies.
A systemic framework for the field of information systems
Authors: C. James Bacon, Brian Fitzgerald
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2001)

The main aim of this paper is to present a systemic framework of what the field of Information Systems (IS) is about; its connecting areas and its central theme. It was born out of a search for structure in providing a cohesive picture of the subject and field of IS for students and business managers. The average manager and executive has difficulty in obtaining an integrated and holistic view of information systems, and it is said that this leads to a lack of alignment between IS and the strategic aims of the enterprise. Students, particularly MBA students, have a similar problem. Using a large number of disparate data sources, including a delphic survey of leading academics, the paper adopted a grounded theory approach in developing an integrating framework of five main areas for the field: (1) IS development, acquisition & support (2) people & organization, (3) information & communications technology, (4) operations & network management, and (5) information for knowledge work, customer satisfaction & business performance. The latter area is proposed as the central, distinguishing theme for the field. The paper also discusses the implications of the framework and how it might be used in teaching, the organizational setting, and IS research.

A View from 20 Years as a Historian of Computing
Authors: Paul E. Ceruzzi
Venue: IEEE Annals of the History of Computing (2001)

The author's reflections go back to the late 1970s when the electronic, stored program was itself only a few decades old and the challenge, in the history-of-computing field, was to convey computer history's significance and reach. The contemporary challenge is to maintain historical standards, objectivity, and distance, while keeping abreast of technology's rapid changes. To survive, the field must also defend that the study of computing is separate from the computing that permeates modern life via the Web.

Professional ASP Techniques for Webmasters
Authors: Alex Homer
Venue:  (1998)

:What is the Subject Area?Getting started building a Web site is simple enough -- the hardware is cheap, the software easy to install, and the market of potential visitors is huge. If it's a company Intranet site, you can even run it over the corporate network; with no need for expensive cabling and ISP connections. The problems come as your site starts to grow and mature. Web sites are supposed to be dynamic (so to attract new visitors), and contain ever-changing content (to make those visitors come back again). How do you maintain and keep control of a fast-growing and ever-changing site, while still keeping it fresh and dynamic? The answer is automation; and the combination of Windows NT Server with SQL Server as the data source, and Active Server Pages as the programming environment, make it possible to design your site so that it's simple to control and maintain. They even make it easier to add regular new content, and keep the site looking fresh. How do you how many visitors your site gets, and who they are? How can you tell which topics visitors are most interested in, and which areas of your site get the most traffic -- and even what times of day are busiest? How do you set up secure access to certain areas, so that you can charge for premium content or prevent access to administration pages? This book tackles all these topics--under the three general headings of Controlling, Maintaining and Monitoring your Web site. You won't see pages of setup information for Windows NT and SQL Server, or a background to ASP or SQL. What you will see is down-to-earth discussion of the issues that WebMasters have to face daily, and real code solutions. If you administer or build content for a Windows NT-based Web site, this book should be on your shelf. What's Great About this Book? Tackles the issues that WebMasters and Web administrators have to face every day. Uses real-world examples, taken from several busy public Web sites. Written from the point of view of the programmer, not the graphic designer or financier. Contains plenty of working code example you can use directly, or modify to suit your own site. Provides SQL Server scripts that you can use to set up the databases shown in the book. Helps you add dynamic features to your Web site quickly and painlessly -- now. Who is this Book for?This book is aimed at anybody who is building a Web site using Windows NT Server, and especially those that use SQL Server as the data source (though the techniques can equally well be implemented with other data sources instead). The bulk of the book is about Active Server Pages, with some Active Server Components thrown in. Readers will need to be reasonably familiar with ASP and the way that it works, and with the syntax of SQL -- the language. It isn't designed to teach newcomers to ASP or SQL about these languages. Because it is based solidly around real-world situations and working examples, it is ideal for the busy WebMaster, Web site administrator, plus the budding designers and implementors that are just getting started building their first site.
SCANMail: a voicemail interface that makes speech browsable, readable and searchable
Authors: Steve Whittaker, Julia Hirschberg, Brian Amento, Litza Stark, Michiel Bacchiani, Philip Isenhour, Larry Stead, Gary Zamchick, Aaron Rosenberg
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

Increasing amounts of public, corporate, and private speech data are now available on-line. These are limited in their usefulness, however, by the lack of tools to permit their browsing and search. The goal of our research is to provide tools to overcome the inherent difficulties of speech access, by supporting visual scanning, search, and information extraction. We describe a novel principle for the design of UIs to speech data: What You See Is Almost What You Hear (WYSIAWYH). In WYSIAWYH, automatic speech recognition (ASR) generates a transcript of the speech data. The transcript is then used as a visual analogue to that underlying data. A graphical user interface allows users to visually scan, read, annotate and search these transcripts. Users can also use the transcript to access and play specific regions of the underlying message. We first summarize previous studies of voicemail usage that motivated the WYSIAWYH principle, and describe a voicemail UI, SCANMail, that embodies WYSIAWYH. We report on a laboratory experiment and a two-month field trial evaluation. SCANMail outperformed a state of the art voicemail system on core voicemail tasks. This was attributable to SCANMail's support for visual scanning, search and information extraction. While the ASR transcripts contain errors, they nevertheless improve the efficiency of voicemail processing. Transcripts either provide enough information for users to extract key points or to navigate to important regions of the underlying speech, which they can then play directly
Object-Oriented Implementation of Selected Numerical Methods: An Introduction with Java and Smalltalk, 1st edition
Authors: Didier H. Besset
Venue:  (2000)

:Numerical methods naturally lend themselves to an object-oriented approach. Mathematics builds high- level ideas on top of previously described, simpler ones. Once a property is demonstrated for a given concept, it can be applied to any new concept sharing the same premise as the original one, similar to the ideas of reuse and inheritance in object-oriented (OO) methodology. Few books on numerical methods teach developers much about designing and building good code. Good computing routines are problem-specific. Insight and understanding are what is needed, rather than just recipes and black box routines. Developers need the ability to construct new programs for different applications. Object-Oriented Implementation of Numerical Methods reveals a complete OO design methodology in a clear and systematic way. Each method is presented in a consistent format, beginning with a short explanation and following with a description of the general OO architecture for the algorithm. Next, the code implementations are discussed and presented along with real-world examples that the author, an experienced software engineer, has used in a variety of commercial applications. Features: Reveals the design methodology behind the code, including design patterns where appropriate, rather than just presenting canned solutions. Implements all methods side by side in both Java and Smalltalk. This contrast can significantly enhance your understanding of the nature of OO programming languages. Provides a step-by-step pathway to new object-oriented techniques for programmers familiar with using procedural languages such as C or Fortran for numerical methods. Includes a chapter on data mining, a key application of numerical methods. On the enclosed CD-ROM, you'll find files containing tested source code implementations of all the algorithms discussed in the book in both Java and Smalltalk. This includes repository files for VisualAge for Java and VisualAge for Smalltalk under ENVY. Didier Besset obtained a degree in physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) and a Ph.D. in high-energy physics at the University of Geneva. He did postgraduate research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and was Adjunct Professor at Princeton University where he taught physics. Since 1990 he has worked as an independent consultant on decision-support systems based on medical or technical data, all written using object-oriented technology. He has been programming in Smalltalk since 1987 and in Java since 1997.
