Making access control more usable
Authors: Elisa Bertino, Trent Jaeger, Jonathan Moffett, Slyvia Osborn, Ravi Ravi
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

Scope: a variety of things are expressed under the heading of access control: permission assignments, constraints, activations, transition, hierarchies, ect. What things really need to be expressed?Concepts: What modeling concepts are available to express these things? Where are we in understanding the usability of these models?Complexity-flexibility tradeoff: How do we make trade-offs between the flexibility of expression (expressive power) and applying more usable concepts? Can this be measured?Domain specificity: Improving ease of use often involves increasing the level of the specification using domain-specific techniques. What techniques are possible? How can we compare teh effectiveness of these techniques?Composition: How can the modularity of access control policies be leveraged? Is there any modularity?Completeness: How do we integrate access control effectively with support for audit and intrusion detection?

Review of data base administrators functions from a survey
Authors: Jean-Paul de Blasis, Thomas H. Johnson
Venue: Proceedings of the 1978 ACM SIGMOD international conference on management of data (1978)

This paper reports some results from a survey of about thirty practicing data base administrators (DBA) in U.S. organizations of warying sizes and commitment to data base technology. From these observations some trends and evolutions of the data base administrator position are outlined. First, basic definitions and organizational considerations are set forth. The functions, interfaces and responsabilities of the DBA are discussed along with the DBMS tools available to carry out their tasks as recommended by various committees including CODASYL, GUIDE/SHARE, etc.Next, results of a survey of organizations staffed with data base administrators are presented. The survey stresses how the various recommendations regarding DBA implementation are reflected in reality and analyzes a number of significant parameters characterizing the DBA teams surveyed. An attempt to rationalize the aspirations and the actual status of the DBA is carried out. Finally, some trends in the evolution of the data base administration function are outlined from the survey results and from projections provided by the DBAs themselves. In light of these observations, some current recommendations are reviewed and others are proposed, especially with respect to the data administrator and data base administrator responsabilities.
Symmetry Measure Computation for Convex Polyhedra
Authors: Alexander V. Tuzikov, Stanislav A. Sheynin
Venue: Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision (2002)

The paper discusses measures and indices of different kind of symmetry (central, reflection, rotation, mirror rotation) for 3D convex shapes. The measures are based on Minkowski addition and inequalities for volume and mixed volume and are valid for convex shapes only. Symmetry index computation in 3D case is a complicated optimization problem. Taking advantage of convex polyhedra we investigate the situations when these indices can be computed efficiently.
Profile of a typical computer science department
Authors: Gordon Bailes
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

The art and science of computing with digital computers is still in its formative stages. As a result, much of the terminology, technology, techniques, and training is yet to be standardized to any substantial degree. Likewise, computer science and information science programs in institutions of higher education lack standardization.While it is not the purpose of this paper to comment on the standards or curricula of computer or information science programs, the paper does provide some statistics which allow the reader to determine some of the characteristics of a "typical" computer science program. Specifically, statistics are given on current enrollment, faculty, teaching loads, tenure policies, faculty recruitment, and computing equipment available in such programs. The statistics are based on a recent nationwide survey.

Application of instruction analysis/scheduling techniques to resource allocation of superscalar processors
Authors: Ing-Jer Huang, Ping-Huei Xie
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2002)

This paper presents the development of instruction analysis/scheduling CAD techniques to measure the distribution of functional-unit usage and the microoperation level parallelism (MLP), which together determine the proper functional-unit allocation for superscalar microprocessors, such as the x86 microprocessors. The proposed techniques fit in the early design exploration phase in which the trace or microarchitecture simulator has not been available. The techniques have been applied to analyze several popular Windows95 applications such as Word, Excel, Communicator, etc., for their MLP and distribution of functional-unit usage. The results are used to evaluate the resource allocation of several existing x86 superscalar microprocessors and suggest future extension.

Despite its interdisciplinary nature, however, the conference is computer science centric, and each paper in the conference is expected to make a substantial contribution to computer science.
Secure pebblenets
Authors: Stefano Basagni, Kris Herrin, Danilo Bruschi, Emilia Rosti
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

We consider the problem of securing communication in large ad hoc networks, i.e., wireless networks with no fixed, wired infrastructure and with multi-hop routes. Such networks, e.g., networks of sensors, are deployed for applications such as microsensing, monitoring and control, and for extending the peer-to-peer communication capability of smaller group of network users. Because the nodes of these networks, which we term pebbles for their very limited size and large number, are resource constrained, only symmetric key cryptography is feasible. We propose a key management scheme to periodically update the symmetric keys used by all pebbles. By combining mobility-adaptive clustering and an effective probabilistic selection of the key-generating node, the proposed scheme meets the requirements of efficiency, scalability and security needed for the survivability of networks of pebbles (pebblenets)

Analysis and Design of Digital Systems with VHDL, 1st edition
Authors: Allen M. Dewey
Venue:  (1996)

:This is the first book to apply VHDL - the hardware description language of choice in industry - to undergraduate courses in digital logic. It presents the full range of topics pertaining to digital systems engineering. In addition, author Allen Dewey presents concepts in the context of actual design procedures, explaining in a "top-down" fashion the general engineering process from concept to realization and how specific procedures contribute to this process. The book begins with a discussion of combinatorial and sequential systems and their design, along with logic families and integrated circuits. The author then guides readers through structural and data flow modeling, description of synchronous behavior, and algorithmic modeling of digital systems in VHDL. This "dual track" approach helps readers understand how VHDL can be used to specify digital system designs in a format that is easily processed by computers, thus harnessing the power of design automation technology. Reflecting the author's recognized experience with the increasingly pervasive role of hardware description languages in digital systems engineering, this book defines a new "skill set" that engineering professionals must master in order to design, model, communicate, and implement digital systems.
A parameterized type system for race-free Java programs
Authors: Chandrasekhar Boyapati, Martin Rinard
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2001)

This paper presents a new static type system for multithreaded programs; any well-typed program in our system is free of data races. Our type system is significantly more expressive than previous such type systems. In particular, our system lets programmers write generic code to implement a class, then create different objects of the same class that have different objects of the same class that have different protection mechanisms. This flexibility enables programmers to reduce the number of unnecessary synchronizationoperations in a program without risking data races. We also support default types which reduce the burden of writing extra type annotations. Our experience indicates that our system provides a promising approach to make multithreaded programs more reliable and efficient
