Reinventing the It Department
Authors: Terry White
Venue:  (2001)

:"Reinventing the IT Department offers an alternative view of the new roles of the in-house IT function and proposes a rethink about IT services within companies, suggesting a self-help approach to redefining/reinventing in-house IT for Chief Executives, Chief Information Officers and IT Managers. Or more to the point: 'Do it to yourself before someone does it to you'." The author explains that new ways of business thinking and operation are essential if a company is to succeed in the near future, and in light of this covers topics such as complex adaptive systems, multi-stakeholder perspectives, thinking perspectives and empowerment initiatives in relation to the overall business and in particular the IT function.

Maximal Weight Divisors of Projective Reed-Muller Codes
Authors: Chris Boner
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

Projective Reed-Muller (PRM) codes, as the name suggests, are the projective analogues of generalized Reed-Muller codes. The parameters are known, and small steps have been taken towards pinning down the codeword weights that occur in any PRM code. We determine, for any PRM code, the greatest common divisor of its codeword weights.

Load-balanced location management for cellular mobile systems using quorums and dynamic hashing
Authors: Ravi Prakash, Zygmunt Haas, Mukesh Singhal
Venue: Wireless Networks (2001)

This paper presents a new distributed location management strategy for cellular mobile systems. Its salient features are fast location update and query, load balancing among location servers, and scalability. The strategy employs dynamic hashing techniques and quorums to manage location update and query operations. The proposed strategy does not require a home location register (HLR) to be associated with each mobile node. Location updates and queries for a mobile node are multicast to subsets of location servers, which change with time depending on the location of mobile node/querying node and load on the servers. Simulation experiments demonstrate that such dynamism prevents situations of heavy load on some location servers when mobile nodes are not uniformly distributed in space, or when some mobile nodes have their location updated or queried more often than others. Also, queries return the latest location information of a mobile node with a very high probability. The proposed scheme requires at most one unicast and two rounds of message multicasting for location update and query operations. All multicast messages have a small payload and are restricted to the high bandwidth wired part of the mobile network resulting in low communication overhead. Moreover, if a quorum of location servers gets overloaded, part of its load can be transferred to another lightly loaded quorum using dynamic hashing techniques.

System support for knowledge-based trading in open service markets
Authors: A. Puder, K. Geihs
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

An open distributed service environment can be perceived as a service market where services are freely offered and requested. Any infrastructure which seeks to provide appropriate mechanisms for such an environment has to include some mediator functionality to bring together matching service requests and service offers. The matching algorithm that the mediator must perform commonly builds upon an IDL-based type definition for service specification. We propose a type specification notation based upon conceptual graphs that supports the openness of the service environment, since it is more flexible than IDL-based definitions, and since it is closer to the cognitive domain of application users. In our framework, the trader implements a matching algorithm as well as a learning algorithm which are tailored to service trading in open environments.
Effective personalization based on association rule discovery from web usage data
Authors: Bamshad Mobasher, Honghua Dai, Tao Luo, Miki Nakagawa
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Web information and data management (2001)

To engage visitors to a Web site at a very early stage (i.e., before registration or authentication), personalization tools must rely primarily on clickstream data captured in Web server logs. The lack of explicit user ratings as well as the sparse nature and the large volume of data in such a setting poses serious challenges to standard collaborative filtering techniques in terms of scalability and performance. Web usage mining techniques such as clustering that rely on offline pattern discovery from user transactions can be used to improve the scalability of collaborative filtering, however, this is often at the cost of reduced recommendation accuracy. In this paper we propose effective and scalable techniques for Web personalization based on association rule discovery from usage data. Through detailed experimental evaluation on real usage data, we show that the proposed methodology can achieve better recommendation effectiveness, while maintaining a computational advantage over direct approaches to collaborative filtering such as the k-nearest-neighbor strategy.

Realization of a translator for Janus
Authors: John H. Barrett, Kevin D. Reilly
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

The Janus programming language, viewed as the assembler for an abstract machine with a tree-based memory system, is of theoretical and practical interest, e.g., Pascal compilers. Many widely accepted theoretical formulations and conceptualizations are incorporated into it. We share these interests, but primarily want to utilize the system for its portability and other pragmatic contributions. Realizations of the abstract machine on a real machine is of interest as the complementary component in the study of language development.The central purpose of this paper is to describe some basic aspects of the implementation of Janus especially as they relate to a Data General Eclipse S/l30 (in the Computer Laboratory at Alabama-Birmingham). These implementation features have been driven by certain computing goals, mostly in non-numerical areas: table processing, list processing, and logic programming. Recent progress has focused on such topics as the core computation features and realization of a decision-table interpreter (which is part of a complex of table processors that incorporate up to five different machines). The paper overviews the various aspects of this work and focuses on the details in major applications.

Power management system/energy control center design
Authors: C. A. Harris, F. I. Denny, J. S. Eiserloh
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

Many factors must be considered in order to design a power management system (PMS) which is effective from both a cost and benefit point of view. This paper reports on a conceptual design study and the initiation of a development project to enhance the capability of a PMS for a major electric power system. Insights are provided relative to the determination of true PMS requirements, the assessment of alternative design strategies, and the planning of a phased system development.A brief historical background of the use of computers in power system operations is given, and the justification of a PMS concept is discussed in terms of costs incurred and performance and values returned. The relationship between growth trends, technological advances, and the functional or applications requirements of a PMS are presented. Simulation studies and investigative analyses which are essential to the evaluation and selection of alternatives are cited and positioned in an overall system development life cycle.
Information Tasks: Toward a User-Centered Approach to Information Systems, 1st edition
Authors: Bryce Allen
Venue:  (1996)

:The user-centered approach is central to the creation of usable information systems, services, and institutions. Information system design should derive from user research into information needs, tasks accomplished in meeting those needs, and resources used in the tasks. Information Tasks summarizes user research, then presents design sketches of systems that illustrate how design is linked to research. Also discussed are usable information services and an overview of the organization and economics of information institutions. This comprehensive user-centered approach provides an agenda for information research, design, and education that challenges many accepted beliefs and suggests new directions for information work. Information Tasks will be of interest to library and information science students and faculty interested in information storage and retrieval, user studies, and systems analysis design. Students and scholars of human factors in systems design, human-computer interaction, and cognitive engineering will also find the text useful.
