Proceedings of the 1st workshop on Operating systems in computer networks
Venue: ACM SIGOPS European Workshop (1985)

SOSP is traditionally held in the USA. In order to expand SIGOPS activities to an international milieu, I proposed at the last SIGOPS general business meeting (October 12, Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire), to organize a SIGOPS-sponsored workshop in Europe. The workshop took place on January 28-30, 1985, at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, in Ruschlikon, Switzerland.The goal of the workshop was to bring together an international group of people involved in design and implementation of operating systems for the computer network environment. The workshop was advertised in the Operating Systems Review (Vol 18. No. 3, July 1984), m the Communications of the ACM. and by d~rect mailing to about 270 people in 23 coulatnes. People interested in parucipating were invited to submit a description of their current project. These project summaries were used by the program committee to select the participants.Close to 100 people expressed an interest in attending the workshop. 58 were invited, and 56 people from 11 countries actually participated in what turned out to be a very lively event.The workshop was organized in the following way. Eight major topies were chosen, based on the project summaries of the invited participants. Each topic, organized as a separate session, had a moderator and three "keynote" speakers whose joint role was to introduce the main issues related to that topic and to stimulate discussion. In addition, the individual participants had been encouraged to prepare a brief presentation for one or more sessions relevant to their project, to bring up specific results or points that distinguish that project from other approaches.The summaries of the individual sessions presented in this report were prepared by the session moderators.

Japan's Computer and Communications Industry: The Evolution of Industrial Giants and Global Competitiveness, 1st edition
Authors: Martin Fransman
Venue:  (1995)

:This book explains the resurgence of Japan's IC giants, their global status, and their strengths and weaknesses. Empirical scrutiny of their evolution is complemented by the author's own theory of the most appropriate method for studying the dynamics of long-term industrial change. While the Japanese motor vehicle and consumer electronics industries have been relatively well analysed, there are no comprehensive up-to-date studies of the Japanese IC industry. This book addresses the questions consequently left unanswered: How were Japanese IC companies able to catch up with their western rivals - and in some cases overtake them? How have Japanese IC companies responded to the 'post-IBM' world of computing? Why do they remain primarily dependent on the Japanese market? Why do they combine competences in computers, semiconductors, and telecommunications equipment, while their US counterparts are far more specialized? What role has been played by the Japanese government and the system of controlled competition in their success? Will Japanese IC companies become increasingly competitive internationally in the future? The author extends the evolutionary approach to the organization of the firm and industry developed by such writers as Schumpeter, Nelson, Winter, and Chandler. He argues that in order to understand the evolution of companies and industries, it is necessary to create a theory of the firm capable of encompassing the development of real firms in the real world in real time. This approach stresses the importance of the beliefs that are constructed in the firm under conditions of 'interpretive ambiguity', which guide the firm's decisions and its reactions to new technologies. These concepts are illustrated by lengthy analyses of NEC and NTT, and of the computing, switching, and optical fibre industries.

The role of Java RMI in designing workflow management system
Authors: Wang Shaofeng
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

The development of the workflow management system(WfMS) has become one of the most important research areas in information system. The design of the WfMS is a very complicated process, involving many difficult tasks. In this paper, We discuss the design of Java RMI-based workflow management system JWfMS, mainly on the designing framework of the JWfMS. According to our experience, we found that Java RMI is suitable and practical for the design of heterogeneous, distributed system such as WfMS because Java RMI makes the design and maintenance work much simpler.
An architecture for secure wide-area service discovery
Authors: Todd D. Hodes, Steven E. Czerwinski, Ben Y. Zhao, Anthony D. Joseph, Randy H. Katz
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

The widespread deployment of inexpensive communications technology, computational resources in the networking infrastructure, and network-enabled end devices poses an interesting problem for end users: how to locate a particular network service or device out of hundreds of thousands of accessible services and devices. This paper presents the architecture and implementation of a secure wide-area Service Discovery Service (SDS). Service providers use the SDS to advertise descriptions of available or already running services, while clients use the SDS to compose complex queries for locating these services. Service descriptions and queries use the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) to encode such factors as cost, performance, location, and device- or service-specific capabilities. The SDS provides a fault-tolerant, incrementally scalable service for locating services in the wide-area. Security is a core component of the SDS: communications are both encrypted and authenticated where necessary, and the system uses a hybrid access control list and capability system to control access to service information. Wide-area query routing is also a core component of the SDS: all information in the system is potentially reachable by all clients.

Object-orientation as an appropriate paradigm for high-performance environments for scientific computing
Authors: Yolande Berbers, Wouter Joosen, Pierre Verbaeten
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

The scientific computing community is searching for high-performance environments to run their applications. These applications come from a variety of domains and have one aspect in common: they require many CPU-cycles. Examples of such applications areas are: computational fluid dynamics, financial modeling, weather forecasting, computational chemistry, pharmaceutical design, seismic data analysis, reservoir modeling, structural analysis and engineering design in the automotive and aerospace industries.Parallel computers with distributed memory are one type of environments which are being used in quite a few places for these applications. However, writing applications for these systems turns out to be a non trivial problem. One of the reasons is the limited support that is currently being offered on the available commercial or experimental systems. When talking to users of these systems (currently the users are also the programmers), it seems that another reason should not be underestimated. The users are very much concerned about execution efficiency; they are afraid of operating systems because they see them as too 'general', and feel they probably waist a large amount of the CPU cycles that could be used by the applications. For this reason, code for system services (e.g. message passing, routing, scheduling and load balancing) are often integrated in the application, which runs on a minimal software support environment. This usually leads to significant performance improvements in the short run, but is not feasible for the more complex applications.The challenge for the operating system community in this area is then to build execution environments adapted to the specific needs of these applications.
Models for coalition-based access control (CBAC)
Authors: Eve Cohen, Roshan K. Thomas, William Winsborough, Deborah Shands
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

To effectively participate in modern coalitions, member organizations must be able to share specific data and functionality with coalition partners, while ensuring that their resources are safe from inappropriate access. This requires access control models, policies, and enforcement mechanisms for coalition resources. This paper describes a family of coalition-based access control (CBAC) models, developed to provide a range of expressivity with an accompanying range of implementation complexity. We define the protection state of a system, which provides the semantics of CBAC-based access policies. Finally, we briefly examine some of the issues for coalition access policy development and administration, and them complexity of implementing access enforcement mechanisms in a coalition environment.
Remus: a security-enhanced operating system
Authors: Massimo Bernaschi, Emanuele Gabrielli, Luigi V. Mancini
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC) (2002)

We present a detailed analysis of the UNIX system calls and classify them according to their level of threat with respect to system penetration. Based on these results, an effective mechanism is proposed to control the invocation of critical, from the security viewpoint, system calls. The integration into existing UNIX operating systems is carried out by instrumenting the code of the system calls in such a way that the execution is granted only in the case where the invoking process and the value of the arguments comply with the rules held in an access control database. This method does not require changes in the kernel data structures and algorithms. All kernel modifications are transparent to the application processes that continue to work correctly with no need of source code changes or recompilation. A working prototype has been implemented as a loadable kernel module for the Linux operating system. The prototype is able to detect and block any attacks by which an intruder tries to gain direct access to the system as a privileged user.

Securing PC applications: the relay race approach
Authors: Moshe Zviran
Venue: Communications of the ACM (2002)

The widespread use of personal computers and the growth of end-user computing have introduced a myriad of security concerns. As PC-based information systems become readily available and more individuals become computer literate, the risk of ill-intentioned individuals obtaining unauthorized access to computing resources and violating the secrecy and integrity of data increases significantly. But many of these computer security concerns for PCs remain largely unaddressed [6].
The Joy of Theory
Authors: Christos H. Papadimitriou
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

This talk is meant to be a celebration of theoreticians, thier achievements, and thier unique style, drawing to a large extent on examples from this volume.Theoretical Computer Science has largely succeeded in its core mission, that is, improving a rigorous and productive foundational understanding of the power and limitations of the von Neumann computer and its software. And in the past few years it has strived to extend its reach to the Internet and the worldwide web, the central computational artifact of our times.But theoreticians have achieved much more than this. Our community has identified P vs. NP, arguably the deepest and most important mathematical question of our time -- and it is leading the assault on it. In addition we are developing "algorithmic mirrors" through which other sciences (notably Physics and Biology, with Economics and other Social Sciences soon to join) rediscover, fruitfully, themselves. And we have furthered and influenced crucially Combinatorics and Logic, the important mathematical fields from which we have drawn methodologically. The newfound respectability and prestige of our parent field, Computer Science, owes much to these achievements.Theoreticians comprise a microcosm with wonderful characteristics: Great scientific, social, and intellectual openness; responsibility and mutual respect, but also healthy doses of irreverence, mistrust of the establishment, willingness to experiment, and self-critical spirit; and a strong sense of an international community that is remarkably cohesive and tightly knit while celebrating the diversity of its people, of their backgrounds, and of their scientific interests and approaches.We have also developed a fascinating, complex esthetic of our work based on mathematical elegance and depth, relevance and fashion, timeliness and competition -- but also on playfulness and humor. Our esthetic has served us well: Some of our most important results were derived by long chains of contributions, each seemingly guided to a large extent by such esthetic considerations. In fact, this esthetic extends delightfully to the exposition of our work, as evidenced by the unique genre of scientific prose known as "FOCS/STOC abstract".
