Open-source documentation: in search of user-driven, just-in-time writing
Authors: Erik Berglund, Michael Priestley
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

Iterative development models allow developers to respond quickly to changing user requirements, but place increasing demands on writers who must handle increasing amounts of change with ever-decreasing resources. In the software development world, one solution to this problem is open-source development: allowing the users to set requirements and priorities by actually contributing to the development of the software. This results in just-in-time software improvements that are explicitly user-driven, since they are actually developed by users.In this article we will discuss how the open source model can be extended to the development of documentation. In many open-source projects, the role of writer has remained unchanged: documentation development remains a specialized activity, owned by a single writer or group of writers, who work as best they can with key developers and frequently out-of-date specification documents. However, a potentially more rewarding approach is to open the development of the documentation to the same sort of community involvement that gives rise to the software: using forums and mailing lists as the tools for developing documentation, driven by debate and dialogue among the actual users and developers.Just as open-source development blurs the line between user and developer, open-source documentation will blur the line between reader and writer. Someone who is a novice reader in one area may be an expert author in another. Two key activities emerge for the technical writer in such a model: as gatekeeper and moderator for FAQs and formal documentation, and as literate expert user of the system they are documenting.

High-Speed and Reduced-Area Modular Adder Structures for RNS
Authors: Ahmad A. Hiasat
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

A modular adder is a very instrumental arithmetic component in implementing online residue-based computations for many digital signal processing applications. It is also a basic component in realizing modular multipliers and residue to binary converters. Thus, the design of a high-speed and reduced-area modular adder is an important issue. In this paper, we are introducing a new modular adder design. It is based on utilizing concepts developed to realize binary-based adders. VLSI layout implementations and comparative analysis showed that the hardware requirements and the time delay of the new proposed structure are significantly, less than other reported ones. A new modulo (2n+1) adder is also presented. Compared with other similar ones, this specific modular adder requires less area and time delay.

Reconfigurable interconnect for next generation systems
Authors: Ingrid Verbauwhede, M.-C. Frank Chang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction (2002)

This paper describes our vision on the architectures required to build next generation systems. Next generation systems will not be PC centric anymore, but they will be built based on distributed, networked, power constraint embedded systems on a chip (SOC) or systems on a multi chip module (SOM). These architectures will consist of large set of heterogeneous building blocks, many of them reconfigurable at different levels of abstraction. The paper will describe new forms of reconfigurable interconnect and it will include a description of the critical position of reconfigurable interconnect in these architectures. The challenge is not to provide general reconfigurability but to tune it to optimize the energy efficiency.
A note on a scale-sensitive dimension of linear bounded functionals in Banach spaces
Authors: Leonid Gurvits
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

We show that "B is of type p > 1" is a necessary and sufficient condition for a learnability of a class of linear bounded functionals with norm < 1 restricted to the unit ball in Banach space B. On the way, we give very short probabilistic proof for Vapnik's result (Hilbert space and improved) and improve our result with Pascal Koiran for convex halls of indicator functions. The approach we use in this paper allows to connect various results about learnability and approximation.

Rule-based management of distributed operating systems
Authors: Mark D. Wood
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

This paper presents a paradigm for managing distributed operating system using a rule-based architecture. Recent trends have led to the structuring of operating systems, particularly those for distributed systems, as a set of microkernels with much of the system functionality being provided by a set of servers operating in user space. The proliferation of client-server based systems can easily lead to a set of independent, non-cooperating servers, with no common technique for management. The operation of each server is often hard-coded into the server, with no facility for dynamic adaptation and management. A general-purpose, rule-based approach to server control fills the need for management and can even eliminate the need for some services.

User interface tailoring for multi-platform service access
Authors: Guido Menkhaus, Wolfgang Pree
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Due to the diversity of display capabilities and input devices, mobile computing gadgets have caused a dramatic increase in the development effort of interactive services. User interface (UI) tailoring and multi platform access represent two promising concepts for coping with this challenge. The paper presents the MUSA (multiple user interfaces, single application) prototype system that addresses both issues by introducing an event-graph as basis of a UI tailoring process.

Discrete simulation of core utilization
Authors: Edgar D. Martin, Larry J. Taylor
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

The purpose of this simulation is to determine if the current computer hardware at the University of Mississippi is sufficient for projected needs and if by scheduling the use period of some users, more efficient service could be given to all users. All programs involved in the simulation are in Standard FORTRAN and are therefore easily adaptable to all computer facilities.By implementation of this simulation procedure, any computer facility can determine the efficiency of core utilization with their current scheduling procedures as compared to alternate systems. The scheduling of "fixed" or constant users of the system to a low use time period, can be simulated to determine if an overall increase in core utilization is possible. As an added feature this simulation procedure can forecast whether the current core capacity is sufficient for future needs. These two simulations can be tied together to allow a facility to determine how long current core capacity will be sufficient. Because these changes are simulated, increased core efficiency can be tested without disrupting normal routine. Same of the detailed results provided by this project are: Average amount of core available(under the simulated conditions); per cent of time core is full; amount of time a user must wait if core is full, number of jobs run for each time period; and statistics on the individual jobs run during the time period.The programs involved in the simulation function as follows. Jobs are placed in a core input queue at random time intervals, based on observed conditions. The jobs are then loaded in core as space permits and removed at completion times. Each job's core requirement, time in core, and origin is based on actual data but are also selected by random procedures to insure realizm.The simulation of actual conditions at the University of Mississippi proved to be extremely accurate. The results of simulations conducted have proved to be both plausible and useful.
