Sense-making of an emergency call: possibilities and constraints of a computerized case file
Authors: Maria Normark
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

Work in control rooms, or so-called Centers of coordination, challenges both humans and technology. The people working there have to be able to make quick decisions as well as be alert during less busy times. The work has to be coordinated within the group, since the operators are much depending on each other's work. This places special demands on the technology; it should be fast, trustworthy and easy to manipulate so that the complexity of the work is reduced.SOS Alarm is a company that is responsible for managing the telephone calls made to the emergency telephone number 112 in Sweden. The SOS operators receive, categorize, document, dispatch and monitor the incoming cases. This paper discusses SOS operators work; how they coordinate the information and tasks between them; how the technology supports that work. This study presents a fully computerized setting, compared to many other studies of centers of coordination that are not.
On loops, dominators, and dominance frontiers
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2002)

This article explores the concept of loops and loop nesting forests of control-flow graphs, using the problem of constructing the dominator tree of a graph and the problem of computing the iterated dominance frontier of a set of vertices in a graph as guiding applications. The contributions of this article include: (1) An axiomatic characterization, as well as a constructive characterization, of a family of loop nesting forests that includes various specific loop nesting forests that have been previously defined. (2) The definition of a new loop nesting forest, as well as an efficient, almost linear-time, algorithm for constructing this forest. (3) An illustration of how loop nesting forests can be used to transform arbitrary (potentially irreducible) problem instances into equivalent acylic graph problem instances in the case of the two problems of (a) constructing the dominator tree of a graph, and (b) computing the iterated dominance frontier of a set of vertices in a graph, leading to new, almost linear-time, algorithms for these problems.

Efficient generation of rotating workforce schedules
Authors: Nysret Musliu, Johannes Gärtner, Wolfgang Slany
Venue: Discrete Applied Mathematics (2002)

Generating high-quality schedules for a rotating workforce is a critical task in all situations where a certain staffing level must be guaranteed, such as in industrial plants or police departments. Results from ergonomics (BEST, Guidelines for shiftworkers, Bulletin of European Time Studies No. 3, European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, 1991) indicate that rotating workforce schedules have a profound impact on the health and satisfaction of employees as well as on their performance at work. Moreover, rotating workforce schedules must satisfy legal requirements and should also meet the objectives of the employing organization. In this paper, our description of a solution to this problem is being stated. One of the basic design decisions was to aim at high-quality schedules for realistically sized problems obtained rather quickly, while maintaining human control. The interaction between the decision-maker and the algorithm therefore consists of four steps: (1) choosing a set of lengths of work blocks (a work block is a sequence of consecutive days of work), (2) choosing a particular sequence of blocks of work and days-off blocks amongst these that have optimal weekend characteristics, (3) enumerating possible shift sequences for the chosen work blocks subject to shift change constraints and bounds on sequences of shifts, and (4) assignment of shift sequences to work blocks while fulfilling the staffing requirements. The combination of constraint satisfaction and problem-oriented intelligent backtracking algorithms in each of the four steps allows for finding good solutions for real-world problems in acceptable time. Computational results from a benchmark example found in the literature confirmed the viability of our approach. The algorithms have been implemented in commercial shift scheduling software.

Flow analysis and optimization of LISP-like structures
Authors: Neil D. Jones, Steven S. Muchnick
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

In [12] the authors introduced the concept of binding time optimization and presented a series of data flow analytic methods for determining some of the binding time characteristics of programs. In this paper we extend that work by providing methods for determining the class of shapes which an unbounded data object may assume during execution of a LISP-like program, and describe a number of uses to which that information may be put to improve storage allocation in compilers and interpreters for advanced programming languages.We are concerned chiefly with finding, for each program point and variable a finite description of a set of graphs which includes all the shapes of values the variable could assume at that point during the execution of a program. If this set is small or regular in structure, this information can be used to optimize the program's execution, mainly by use of more efficient storage allocation schemes.In the first part we show how to construct from a program without selective updating a tree grammar whose nonterminals generate the desired sets of graphs; in this case they will all be trees. The tree grammars are of a more general form than is usually studied [8, 19], so we show that they may be converted to the usual form. The resulting tree grammar could naturally be viewed as a recursive type definition [11] of the values the variables may assume. Further, standard algorithms may be employed to test for infiniteness, emptiness or linearity of the tree structure.In the second part selective updating is allowed, so an alternate semantics is introduced which more closely resembles traditional LISP implementations, and which is equivalent to the tree model for programs without selective updating. In this model data objects are directed graphs. We devise a finite approximation method which provides enough information to detect cell sharing and cyclic structures whenever they can possibly occur. This information can be used to recognize when the use of garbage collection or of reference counts may be avoided.The work reported in the second part of this paper extends that of Schwartz [17] and Cousot and Cousot [7]. They have developed methods for determining whether the values of two or more variables share cells, while we provide information on the detailed structure of what is shared. The ability to detect cycles is also new. It also extends the work of Kaplan [13], who distinguishes only binary relations among the variables of a program, does not handle cycles, and does not distinguish selectors (so that his analysis applies to nodes representing sets rather than ordered tuples).

The effect of a male-oriented computer gaming culture on careers in the computer industry
Authors: Marc J. Natale
Venue: ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society (2002)

If careers in the computer industry were viewed, it would be evident that there is a conspicuous gender gap between the number of male and female employees. The same gap can be observed at the college level where males are dominating females as to those who pursue and obtain a degree in computer science. The question that this research paper intends to show is: Why are males so dominant when it comes to computer related matter? I have traced this question back to the computer game. Computer games are a fun medium and provide the means for an individual to become computer literate through the engagement of spatial learning and cognitive processing abilities. Since such games are marketed almost exclusively to males, females have a distinct disadvantage. Males are more computer literate through the playing of computer games, and are provided with an easy lead-in to more advanced utilization of computers such as programming. Females tend to be turned off due to the male stereotypes and marketing associated with games and thus begins the gender gap.

Centralizing information technology in a distributed system (again?)
Authors: Wayne Brown
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

When Information technology (IT) was first introduced to organizations it was not considered a strategic asset. It was usually centralized and locked away in a basement. Over the years, IT moved away from centralization to decentralization and, since the mid-1990s, has begun to shift back. Heald College, like other institutions, has followed the same IT path. During the early years of IT, there was no need to decentralize deployment of mainframe systems. In a short period, technology evolved into a client-server configuration, which allowed for decentralization of system ordering, installation, and maintenance. Furthermore, many organization populations wanted tasks automated and the inability, in some cases, of IT to keep up with demand led to a decentralization or outsourcing of the function (Olsen, 2002).This decentralization resulted in fractured IT infrastructures, which were not standard and, in many cases, could not communicate with the central system (Feld, 1998). Non-standard systems produce increased maintenance costs as well as a loss of purchasing power when the number of vendors and system types increase and number of systems purchased from a single vendor decrease (Feld, 1998).The negative force of multiple IT systems within a single organization has propelled the pendulum to swing back to centralization. IT has been acknowledged as a strategic asset and not a tactical tool. Organizations have recognized standardizing and centralizing systems results in a savings in procurement and maintenance costs (Preston, 2001). Dow Jones & Co, McGraw-Hill, and Knight Ridder are just a few companies centralizing IT operations (Kontzer, 2001), Heald College is another example of a decentralized organization returning to a centralized IT structure.

Using extended positional grammars to develop visual modeling languages
Authors: Gennaro Costagliola, Vincenzo Deufemia, Filomena Ferrucci, Carmine Gravino
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

In this paper we present the approach based on the formalism of Extended Positional Grammars for specifying, designing and implementing visual modeling languages. In order to stress the main characteristics of the approach and highlight its power, we describe the use of the formalism to implement statecharts languages which represent one of the most complex visual modeling languages used in the software engineering field. In the paper special emphasis is put on describing the benefits deriving from the use of such formal specifications such as incrementality, easy customization, and automatic generation of visual programming environments. Such features turn out to be especially important because visual modeling languages are subjected to continuous changes as the history of statecharts languages and UML diagrams shows. Moreover, visual languages can be effectively used only if they are supported by a powerful visual environment within they are embedded and used.
