Bounded queries, approximations, and the Boolean hierarchy
Authors: Richard Chang
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

This paper investigates nondeterministic bounded query classes in relation to the complexity of NP-hard approximation problems and the Boolean Hierarchy. Nondeterministic bounded query classes turn out to be rather suitable for describing the complexity of NP-hard approximation problems. The results in this paper take advantage of this machine-based.
Post-Capitalist Society
Authors: Peter F. Drucker
Venue:  (1994)

:A probing and incisive analysis of the major world transformation from the Age of Capitalism to the Knowledge Society and how it will affect society, economics, business, and politics now and in the years ahead. In Post-Capitalist Society Peter Drucker describes how every few hundred years a sharp transformation has taken place and greatly affected society - its worldview, its basic values, its business and economics, and its social and political structure. According to Drucker, we are right in the middle of another time of radical change, from the Age of Capitalism and the Nation-State to a Knowledge Society and a Society of Organizations. The primary resource in the post-capitalist society will be knowledge and the leading social groups will be "knowledge workers." Looking backward and forward, Drucker discusses the Industrial Revolution, the Productivity Revolution, the Management Revolution, and the governance of corporations. He explains the new functions of organizations, the economics of knowledge, and productivity as a social and economic priority. He covers the transformation from Nation-State to Megastate, the new pluralism of political systems, and the needed government turnaround. Finally, Drucker details the knowledge issues and the role and use of knowledge in post-capitalist society. Divided into three parts - Society, Polity, and Knowledge - Post-Capitalist Society provides a searching look into the future as well as a vital analysis of the past, focusing on the challenges of the present transition period and how, if we can understand and respond to them, we can create a new future.
Supporting longevity in an information infrastructure architecture
Authors: Christos A. Papachriston
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

With the growth in the Internet and network-based community, comes an interest in building applications independently of the information or data on which they will operate. In conjunction with this divergence of information from application and significant growth in the amount of information available on the net the issues of longevity are taking a more prominent position. As investment in information grows, the amount of information that has long-term value also grows. The URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) used as identifiers and access methods for Web documents will not, and in fact even now do not, suffice. Tying identification to location and access protocol leads to significant problems as information moves, underlying storage facilities are reorganized, or as different access protocols are needed. Furthermore, we will experience evolution many dimensions. Applications and the sorts of information on which they operate will evolve. Existing information is likely to evolve. The underlying transport mechanisms are continually evolving to meet higher or new demands. The question we as researchers must ask ourselves is how do we design a system that is prepared for the problems of longevity, with the long-term future in mind, rather than working only to solve the problems of the present, as we have so often done.My current research project is the Information Mesh, the design of an information infrastructure architecture which has among its primary goals the support of longevity, mobility, and evolvability. In this note, I will briefly summarize the goals and highlights of the architecture of the Information Mesh. The note will conclude with a description of some of the significant ways in which it addresses mobility and evolvability. It should be noted that this work is described in more detail in [11, 9]. In this note I will only refer briefly to differences between the Information Mesh and the World Wide Web, CORBA and OLE.

Linguistic Instruments in Requirements Engineering, 1st edition
Authors: Burg J. F. M.
Venue:  (1996)

:The book discusses a new approach to requirements engineering. The goal of the method described is to facilitate the requirements engineering process and to improve the quality of its results. The focus of the book is on how linguistic instruments can be used profitably in this process, in order to reach this goal. The book gives a rather complete overview of the current status of requirements engineering, including (object-oriented) software analysis, and of applications of natural language to information systems in general. The improvements to the requirements engineering process include a better understanding of the problem and its domain, expressed by abstract models upon the contents of which the users (i.e. the 'owners' of the problem) have agreed. The process of collecting, specifying, verifying and validating the contents of the models is elaborated extensively. The linguistic meaning and definition of the words and concepts, that are selected from the Universe of Discourse description by a natural language- and scenario-based analysis approach, provides a semantically correct base for both the requirements specification and requirements validation. Some well-known problems with natural language texts, like ambiguity and incompleteness, are avoided by this semantic approach. The word meanings are retrieved from a lexicon that is interactively consulted during the requirements engineering process. The formal language that has been introduced as the underlying representation formalism for the lexicon, the models, as well as the original natural language sentences gives possibilities for verification activities, because of its logic foundation. Two models are introduced that arevalidated by the users by checking natural language sentences that are equivalent to the models' contents, and by evaluating a prototype that simulates the modeled behaviour of the system. Summarizing, the book introduces a requirements engineering method which makes heavily use of linguistic instruments. The method is described from several viewpoints, which includes its philosophy (the way of thinking), its techniques (the way of modeling), its use (the way of working) and a sketch of its supporting environment, (the way of supporting).
Multi-voltage low power convolvers using the polynomial residue number system
Authors: V. Paliouras, A. Skavantzos, T. Stouraitis
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

A novel approach for the reduction of the power dissipated in a signal processing application is introduced in this paper. By exploiting the properties of the Polynomial Residue Number System (PRNS) and of the arithmetic modulo (2n+1), the power dissipation of implementing cyclic convolution is reduced up to four times. Furthermore, the corresponding power x delay product is reduced up to 2.4 times, while a simultaneous reduction of area cost is achieved. The particular performance improvement becomes possible by introducing a way to minimize the forward and inverse conversion overhead associated with PRNS. The introduced minimization exploits the fact that for the conversions for particular lengths of data sequences and particular moduli, only multiplications with powers of two and additions are required, thus leading to low implementation complexity. In addition multiple supply voltages are utilized to further reduce power dissipation by more than 30% for particular cases. Formulas that return the applicable supply voltage values per PRNS channel are derived in this paper.
CAD Principles for Architectural Design: An Analytical Approach to the Computational Representation of Architectural Form
Authors: Peter Szalapaj
Venue:  (2000)

:The book is goal-orientated rather than software-orientated. It aims to show not only how particular forms can be produced, but also the further implications of producing forms in different ways. The implications of CAD representations are extremely important in their relationship to design intentions. CAD possibilities are investigated, therefore, from a design viewpoint.This book is intended to be used as a course book for students of CAD in general, even though the many examples and illustrations are predominantly architectural. Some basic design skills are assumed, as well as some basic computing concepts, but no previous experience of the use of particular CAD software is required.

Redocumentation for the maintenance of software
Authors: Robert M. Freeman, Malcolm Munro
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

Traditionally documentation has been mainly text based and it is considered that this is not always the best format for the analysis and understanding of code for use in software maintenance. A system based upon an interactive hypertext system utilising both text and graphics would be more appropriate. This paper starts by describing software maintenance from the documentation viewpoint. It then lists the requirements for a documentation system which will help overcome these problems. Finally the documents to be produced are discussed.

Generic validation of structural content with parametric modules
Authors: Tyng-Ruey Chuang
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Functional programming (2001)

We demonstrate a natural mapping from XML element types to ML module expressions. The mapping is inductive and definitions of common XML operations can be derived as the module expressions are composed. We show how to derive, in a generic way, the validation function, which checks an XML document for conformance to its DTD (Document Type Definition). One can view validation as assigning ML types to XML elements and the validation procedure a pre-requisite for typeful XML programming in ML. Our mapping uses the parametric module facility of ML in some contrived way. For example, in validating WML (WAP Markup Language) documents, we need to use 36ary type constructors, as well as higher-order modules that take in as many as 17 modules as input. That one can systematically model XML DTDs at the module level suggests ML-like languages are suitable for type-safe prototyping of DTD-aware XML applications.
