Sexual Odyssey: From Forbidden Fruit to Cybersex
Authors: Kenneth Maxwell
Venue:  (1997)

:This lush, provocative book explores sexuality from our earliest trysts to cybersex and beyond. It indulges in the toys, titillations, and temptations of the most pleasurable of all passions. With spice and flair, Maxwell takes us on a whirlwind tour of human sexuality that is comprehensive in its sweep yet delightful in its alluring and amusing details. Maxwell explores both the time-honored and the bizarre. He capably draws upon the juiciest sexual literature and lore of the past, then casts light on the exciting particulars of modern-day sex, where sex roles (and sex play!) are changing at a frenetic pace. How have the feminist revolution, and the new "Masculine Mystique," changed our concepts of what is sexy or macho? What enticing new images and erotic encounters will the Internet and CD-ROM offer users of the future? How have AIDS and the need for "safe sex" inspired us to dream up ever-more creative erotic adventures? Will the twenty-first century bring about a complete separation between making babies and making love? Between the covers, Maxwell divulges the great love-making secrets of the past, and how openness, experimentation, and creativity will help us "soar to the Elysian heights of sexual pleasure" in the future.

The Universal Computer: The Road from Leibniz to Turing
Authors: Martin Davis
Venue:  (2000)

:One of the world's pioneers in the development of computer science offers a mesmerizing history of computers. Computers are everywhere today--at work, in the bank, in artist's studios, sometimes even in our pockets--yet they remain to many of us objects of irreducible mystery. How can today's computers perform such a bewildering variety of tasks if computing is just glorified arithmetic? The answer, as Martin Davis lucidly illustrates, lies in the fact that computers are essentially engines of logic. Their hardware and software embody concepts developed over centuries by logicians such as Leibniz, Boole, and Godel, culminating in the amazing insights of Alan Turing. The Universal Computer traces the development of these concepts by exploring with captivating detail the lives and work of the geniuses who first formulated them. Readers will come away with a revelatory understanding of how and why computers work and how the algorithms within them came to be.

Optimal rate-based scheduling on multiprocessors
Authors: Anand Srinivasan, James H. Anderson
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

The PD2 Pfair/ERfair scheduling algorithm is the most efficient known algorithm for optimally scheduling periodic tasks on multiprocessors. In this paper, we prove that PD2 is also optimal for scheduling "rate-based" tasks whose processing steps may be highly jittered. The rate-based task model we consider generalizes the widely-studied sporadic task model.

Themometers and themostats: characterizing and controlling thematic attributes of information
Authors: Marko Krema, Larry Birnbaum, Jay Budzik, Kristian J. Hammond
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Contents of documents can be characterized not just by subject matter or topic, but also in terms of more thematic or even stylistic attributes, such as level of detail, emotional vs. unemotional presentation, personal vs. impersonal voice, positive or negative attitude or "spin," theoretical vs. practical presentation, etc. As implied by these examples, such attributes often form continuous dimensions along which documents can be distinguished. In the best case, the appropriate place on these dimensions -- i.e., which documents will be of most value to the user at the current time -- can be determined by the user's current task, prior knowledge, etc. Does the user need more detail, or less, for example? In the current state of the art, it is difficult to compute this automatically. Instead, we propose that users should be enabled view these dimensions using themometers and to navigate them using themostats -- controls that offer users a choice of documents on the same topic, but with differing levels of detail, positive or negative spin, personal or impersonal voice, etc. The dimensions along which we can provide this kind of control must be easily computable. We have been able to characterize documents with respect to a number of these dimensions using simple statistical measures as well as specialized dictionaries, and describe these methods herein.

A survey of user-centered design practice
Authors: Karel Vredenburg, Ji-Ye Mao, Paul W. Smith, Tom Carey
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

This paper reports the results of a recent survey of user-centered design (UCD) practitioners. The survey involved over a hundred respondents who were CHI'2000 attendees or current UPA members. The paper identifies the most widely used methods and processes, the key factors that predict success, and the critical tradeoffs practitioners must make in applying UCD methods and processes. Results show that cost-benefit tradeoffs are a key consideration in the adoption of UCD methods. Measures of UCD effectiveness are lacking and rarely applied. There is also a major discrepancy between the commonly cited measures and the actually applied ones. These results have implications for the introduction, deployment, and execution of UCD projects
Models and representation of their ownership
Authors: Hessam S. Sarjoughian, Bernard P. Zeigler
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Models, similar to other intellectual properties, are increasingly being treated as commodities worthy of protection. Providing ownership for models is key for promoting model reusability, composability, and distributed simulation. However, to date, it appears no principled approach has been developed to support ownership of models. Instead, individuals such as modelers and legal personnel employ ad hoc means to obtain and (re)use models developed and owned by others. In this article, we briefly describe access control capabilities offered by computer languages, operating systems, and HLA ownership management services. The examinations of such methods suggest the need for formal ownership specification. The article discusses, in an informal setting, requirements for model ownership from the point of view of increasing demand and necessity for model reuse, distributed simulation, and future trends for collaborative model development. We develop concepts for model ownership suitable for collaborative model development and distributed execution. Based on the developed concepts, we present an approach, within the DEVS modeling & simulation framework, for specifying model ownership. The article closes with the consideration of the proposed approach for the Collaborative DEVS Modeling environment and a brief discussion of HLA services relevant to model ownership.

Contextual Petri nets, asymmetric event structures, and processes
Authors: Paolo Baldan, Andrea Corradini, Ugo Montanari
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

We present an event structure semantics for contextual nets, an extension of P/T Petri nets where transitions can check for the presence of tokens without consuming them (read-only operations). A basic role is played by asymmetric event structures, a generalization of Winskel's prime event structures where symmetric conflict is replaced by a relation modelling asymmetric conflict or weak causality, used to represent a new kind of dependency between events arising in contextual nets. Extending Winskel's seminal work on safe nets, the truly concurrent event-based semantics of contextual nets is given at categorical level via a chain of coreflections leading from the category SW-CN of semi-weighted contextual nets to the category Dom of finitary prime algebraic domains. First an unfolding construction generates from a contextual net a corresponding occurrence contextual net, from where an asymmetric event structure is extracted. Then the configurations of the asymmetric event structure, endowed with a suitable order, are shown to form a finitary prime algebraic domain. We also investigate the relation between the proposed unfolding semantics and several deterministic process semantics for contextual nets in the literature. In particular, the domain obtained via the unfolding is characterized as the collection of the deterministic processes of the net endowed with a kind of prefix ordering. 2001 Elsevier Science.

Automatic recognition of distinguishing negative indirect history language in judicial opinions
Authors: Jack G. Conrad, Daniel P. Dabney
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

We describe a model-based filtering application that generates candidate case-to-case distinguishing citations. We developed the system to aid editors in identifying indirect relationships among judicial opinions in a database of over 5 million documents. Using a training collection of approximately 30,000 previously edited cases, the filter application provides ranked sets of textual evidence for current case law documents in the editorial process. These sets contain judicial language with a strong probability of containing distinguishing relationships. Integrating this application into the editorial review environment has greatly improved the coverage and efficiency of the work flow to identify and generate new distinguishing relationship entries.
