PC and MAC Handbook: Systems, Upgrades and Troubleshooting
Authors: Steve Heath
Venue:  (1995)

:The PC and Mac Handbook: systems, upgrades and troubleshooting is a compendium of information about PCs and Macs that is not normally available or supplied as standard with manufacturers' documentation. It combines practical experience and guidance with reference material to provide help and information for anyone using, building, upgrading, fault finding or just interested in a computer. One major advantage offered by the IBM compatible PC is the easy availability of its component parts, allowing systems to be continually upgraded. It is now even possible to build a PC using these parts. However, while the disk drives, controller and mother boards and all the other parts are easy to obtain, the information on how to connect them, and more importantly, potential problems, is not. With the PC becoming a mature product, many suitable components can be obtained at a very low cost from the many outlets that specialise in redundant or surplus stock. Although there are many bargains to be had, some specialised knowledge is needed to identify how suitable a part may be and its compatibility. It is this information and experience which is essential to anyone contemplating an upgrade or even purchasing a PC in the first place. It is this information and approach that forms the backbone of this book. The structure of the book splits the various aspects into chapters with some dedicated to the IBM PC or Mac and some where there is a large amount of common ground covering both machines. Each chapter starts with an explanation of the technology involved and gradually moves through technical detail and finishes with explanations and examples. To help illustrate these points, screen shots have been included from both Macs and IBM PCs. The inclusion of the Apple Mac provides a much needed source of information for Apple Mac users. Considering how both the IBM PC and Apple Mac are sharing many components such as disk drives, this book can guide a user who is contemplating switc The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Small-world linkage and co-linkage
Authors: Lennart Björneborn
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

The paper presents ideas from a current research project concerned with link structures and small-world phenomena on the WWW, with possible implications for knowledge discovery or `web mining'. The project includes case studies of so-called co-linkage chains consisting of co-linking and co-linked web nodes (analogous to bibliographic couplings and co-citations) in a context of researchers' homepages and published bookmark lists. Key concepts are so-called transversal links and transversal co-linkages (on co-linkage chains) functioning as short cuts or `weak ties' between heterogeneous subject domains and interest communities on the Web. According to a hypothesis in the project, transversal links make the Web more strongly connected and `crumpled up' by creating small-world phenomena in the shape of short distances between nodes in the Web graph.

Circumstance descriptors: a method for generating plan modifications and fragmentary orders
Authors: John B. Gilmer,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Circumstance Descriptors are offered as a way to organize spatial and other military knowledge that may be difficult to formulate, particularly the kinds of details that are most often illustrated by example. The goal is better modeling of military command elements in simulations. These Circumstance Descriptors are applied to assimilate features, both terrain objects and units, into a frame based Understanding of the Situation that organizes these into roles oriented around the decisionmaking unit's plan. A Circumstance represents a configuration of objects that may be present on the battlefield. If recognized, the effect is to splice new roles into the frame, extending it to cover the new features. A prototype has been built which demonstrates the use of these Circumstance Descriptors in both the context of planning and execution.

Hacking Cyberspace
Authors: David J. Gunkel
Venue:  (2000)

:In Hacking Cyberspace David J. Gunkel examines the metaphors applied to new technologies, and how those metaphors inform, shape, and drive the implementation of the technology in question. The author explores the metaphorical tropes that have been employed to describe and evaluate recent advances in computer technology, telecommunications systems, and interactive media. Taking the stance that no speech is value-neutral, Gunkel examines such metaphors as "the information superhighway" and "the electronic frontier" for their political and social content, and he develops a critical investigation that not only traces the metaphors' conceptual history, but explicates their implications and consequences for technological development. Through Information of Technology, David J. Gunkel develops a sophisticated understanding of new technology that takes into account the effect of technoculture's own discursive techniques and maneuvers on the actual form of technological development.

Integrating paper and digital information on EnhancedDesk: a method for realtime finger tracking on an augmented desk system
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) (2001)

This article describes a design and implementation of an augmented desk system, named EnhancedDesk, which smoothly integrates paper and digital information on a desk. The system provides users an intelligent environment that automatically retrieves and displays digital information corresponding to the real objects (e.g., books) on the desk by using computer vision. The system also provides users direct manipulation of digital information by using the users' own hands and fingers for more natural and more intuitive interaction. Based on the experiments with our first prototype system, some critical issues on augmented desk systems were identified when trying to pursue rapid and fine recognition of hands and fingers. To overcome these issues, we developed a novel method for realtime finger tracking on an augmented desk system by introducing a infrared camera, pattern matching with normalized correlation, and a pan-tilt camera. We then show an interface prototype on EnhancedDesk. It is an application to a computer-supported learning environment, named Interactive Textbook. The system shows how effective the integration of paper and digital information is and how natural and intuitive direct manipulation of digital information with users' hands and fingers is.

Using simulation for manufacturing process reengineering: a practical case study
Authors: Lisete Silva, Ana Luisa Ramos, Pedro M. Vilarinho
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper presents a simulation study carried out to solve a problem of manufacturing process reengineering. The specific company in which the study took place is a medium size manufacturer of chest freezers, which required an in-depth analysis of its manufacturing operations in an attempt to increase its throughput and overall productivity. A simulation model of the current manufacturing system was developed to ascertain its limitations and problems. The relevant operational performance measures were analyzed in order to allow for the proposal of a set of changes to the actual manufacturing operations. In order to support the decision process concerned with the implementation of the suggested changes, these were included in the simulation model. The outcome of the simulation study was taken into account by the decision-makers and the recommendations are being implemented.

Tabular application development for information systems: an object-oriented methodology
Authors: Talib Damij
Venue:  (2001)

Tabular Application Development for Information Systems describes the workings and utility of Tabular Application Development (TAD) as an object-oriented methodology that uses tables to model the real world. Essentially, TAD entails collecting information about a real-world situation into tables, identifying and implementing changes by analyzing the tabularized content, and then using the data gathered in the changed tables to develop the organization's information system. Given that tables can be easily surveyed and modified, analysts can locate almost immediately any information about business processes, work processes, activities, tasks, or events. In addition, the user can confidently proceed without misunderstandings and can quickly rectify any mistake or problem.
