The Emperor's Virtual Clothes: The Naked Truth about Internet Culture, 1st edition
Authors: Dinty W. Moore
Venue:  (1995)

:The Emperor's Virtual Clothes offers a funny, cranky, no-nonsense tour of the Internet world for those people who aren't sure they want an E-mail address, and aren't certain what good it will do them. From "flame wars" to "spamming," from "cybersex" to hackers and terrorists, author Dinty Moore (someone more at home with ballpoint pens than computer keyboards) explains how he learned to stop worrying and love the electronic culture. As Moore makes his whimsical way through the twists and turns of the Internet, the Web, and other nooks and crannies of the wired world, he discovers an unlikely spiritual guide: the quintessential American crank, Henry David Thoreau. Inspired by Thoreau's distrust of the newfangled, Moore sets out to simplify, simplify, simplify - to boil down all the technology and innovation until it makes sense. If you're intimidated by the jargon and whizbang gadgetry of the Internet, he helps you see that much of what goes on there is more silly than threatening. If you are interested and excited by the prospect of being "wired," you'll find his commonsense questions both entertaining and provocative.
Battery-driven dynamic power management of portable systems
Authors: Luca Benini, Giuliano Castelli, Alberto Macii, Enrico Macii, Riccardo Scarsi
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

Battery life-time extension is a primary design objective for portable systems. Traditionally, battery life-time has been prolonged mainly by reducing average power consumption of system components. A careful analysis of discharge characteristics and the adoption of accurate high-level battery models in system-level design open new opportunities for life-time extension. In this paper, we introduce dynamic power management (DPM) policies specifically tailored to battery-powered systems. Battery-driven DPM strives to enhance life-time by automatically adapting discharge rate and current profiles to battery state-of-charge. The distinctive feature of these policies is the control of system operation based on the observation of battery output voltage. The effectiveness of the proposed policies and, more in general, of the idea of accounting for battery behavior during system design, is proved by the experiments carried out on a realistic case study, namely, an MP3 audio player.
Compositionality in the puzzle of semantics
Authors: Roberto Giacobazzi, Isabella Mastroeni
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation (2002)

In this paper we study the connection between the structure of relational abstract domains for program analysis and compositionality of the underlying semantics. Both can be systematically designed as solution of the same abstract domain equation involving the same domain refinement: the reduced power operation. We prove that most well-known compositional semantics of imperative programs, such as the standard denotational and weakest precondition semantics can be systematically derived as solutions of simple abstract domain equations. This provides an equational presentation of both semantics and abstract domains for program analysis in a unique formal setting. Moreover both finite and transfinite compositional semantics share the same structure, and this allows us to provide consistent models for program manipulation.

The bridge to our students: residential computing
Authors: Karen McRitchie
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

At Grinnell College, over 60% of the students are computing from their campus housing. Each year the number of incoming freshman with their own computers increases and we expect 80% of the new students in the fall to bring a computer. As we increase the number of students computing from their rooms, it creates a number of challenges for the ITS staff and future technology planning of the college.Our Residential network, affectionately called RESNET was started four years ago when all of the dorms and campus-owned houses were wired for network access. In the first year, only half of the dorms were completed and the majority of students did not bring computers, connections were patched manually and students filled out paperwork requesting their jack to be activated. Now we utilize VLANs, NetReg for registration and web access to the switches that has contributed to a successful support model for ITS staff.Supporting residential computing is a challenge and many changes have occurred in the past four years to face this. Since Grinnell College is located in the middle of the Iowa farmland, the college has tried creative support ideas from relationships with outside vendors to providing "connection days" during the first few days of each semester. There were several failures during this time, but it has led to the design of our current program.Residential computing has also challenged the technology planning of the campus. Administration believes that the increase in dorm computing will allow a reduction in public labs, however, the use of the public lab spaces has actually increased, and so what will happen? Today's student is usually technically savvy and comfortable in this digital age and provisions need to be made to allow these students to thrive on campus.

Fatal Defect: Chasing Killer Computer Bugs
Authors: Ivars Peterson
Venue:  (1996)

:More than ever, our society depends on the reliable - if not always correct - functioning of computers. Computers amplify not only our genius but our flaws, sometimes to intolerable extremes. Author Ivars Peterson traces the lurching history of software development and describes how misconceptions and mistakes have become an inextricable part of computer programs and systems. He creates fascinating and colorful profiles of the people who hunt down these elusive computer bugs and struggle to make an inherently fallible system less treacherous. He also offers dozens of detailed examples of how computer failures occur - some amusing, some annoying, others terrifying, even fatal. Each computer failure is a reminder that we all pay a price for sloppy thinking in software development, for making the rush to market a more important consideration than safety and reliability. No software can ever be guaranteed 100 percent bug-free, but if we analyze our past mistakes and rethink our approach to computers, we can defuse some ticking time bombs and create a more trustworthy next generation of computers.

Technological Innovation and Network Evolution
Authors: Anders Lundgren
Venue:  (1995)

:Technological Innovation and Network Evolution is one of the first volumes to illuminate contemporary network innovation in advanced technologies from a historical and evolutionary perspective. By looking at the new area of digital image processing, or 'machine vision', Anders Lundgren traces the advances which have been made as the technology becomes more and more highly developed, and the way in which success - and failure - relates to different kinds of organizational forms and industrial relationships. Through an examination of key issues, including public policy, system-builders, corporate strategy and internationalization, the author highlights the unique features of networks and the reasons for their growth and decline. In this thought-provoking volume, Anders Lundgren shows a rare appreciation of the process of generating a network, showing clearly the role of trial and error, the limits of policy, and the nature of support by constellations of producers and users. Students and researchers concerned with the management of innovation will find this of great interest, as will policy makers aiming to foster technological and industrial change.

A survey of programmable networks
Authors: Andrew T. Campbell, Herman G. De Meer, Michael E. Kounavis, Kazuho Miki, John B. Vicente, Daniel Villela
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (1999)

In this paper we present a programmable networking model that provides a common framework for understanding the state-of-the-art in programmable networks. A number of projects are reviewed and discussed against a set of programmable network characteristics. We believe that a number of important innovations are creating a paradigm shift in networking leading to higher levels of network programmability. These innovations include the separation between transmission hardware and control software, availability of open programmable network interfaces, accelerated virtualization of networking infrastructure, rapid creation and deployment of new network services and environments for resource partitioning and coexistence of multiple distinct network architectures. We present a simple qualitative comparison of the surveyed work and make a number of observations about the direction of the field.

An on-chip march pattern generator for testing embedded memory cores
Authors: Wei-Lun Wang, Kuen-Jong Lee, Jhing-Fa Wang
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

In this correspondence, we propose an effective approach to integrate 40 existing march algorithms into an embedded low hardware overhead test pattern generator to test the various kinds of word-oriented memory cores. Each march algorithm is characterized by several sets of up/down address orders, read/write signals, read/write data, and lengths of read/write operations. These characteristics are stored on chip so that any desired march algorithm can be generated with very little external control. An efficient procedure to reduce the memory storage for these characteristics is presented. We use only two programmable cyclic shift registers to generate the various read/write signals and data within the steps of the algorithms. Therefore, the proposed pattern generator is capable of generating any march algorithm with small area overhead.
Throughput of ideally routed wireless ad hoc networks
Authors: Gábor Németh, Zoltán Richárd Turányi, András Valkó
Venue: ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review (2001)

We investigate the throughput of ad hoc networks using ideal shortest path routing between randomly selected source-destination pairs. Our results not only confirm the n-1/2 decay of the throughput that was published earlier in the literature, but also provides an approach to acquire the relation of various network parameters. This way the effects of changes in the routing, traffic generation algorithms or other network characteristics can be predicted using a first order approximation.

We introduce a new geometry manipulator, a tool for 2D geometrical object manipulations in drawing packages. The manipulator is an extended combination of two standard approaches. We performed an experiment, where users tested three types of manipulator. We evaluated the manipulators on perceived flexibility, efficiency of use, and subjective satisfaction. Our new manipulator scored high on all aspects.
IAM: an inferential abstract modeling approach to design of conceptual schema
Authors: Janis A. Bubenko Jr
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

A method for designing a conceptual schema (information model) for a data base is presented. The basic notion is that a conceptual schema is designed by collecting and integrating 'local' user information requirements and analysis of information inference relationships. The procedure consists of the following phases: 1) collection and specification of information requirements, 2) entity classification, 3) specification of functional dependencies, 4) abstract object specification, integration and analysis, 5) implied information analysis, 6) derivability (precedence) analysis and 7) transformation to an 'external-named-based' model. The phases are performed iteratively in a controlled fashion. Underlying theoretical concepts are defined and arguments presented for the method's practical applicability.
