Staying Street Smart in the Internet Age: What Hasn't Changed about the Way We Do Business
Authors: Mark H. McCormack
Venue:  (2000)

:How has business changed in the wake of e-mail, e-commerce, the net, the Web, mobile fax machines, cell phones, beepers, pagers, voice mail, palm pilots, and laptops? Simple: It hasn't. As Mark McCormack makes clear, today's business world still hinges on those basic elements of human interaction, intelligence, creativity, and efficiency that have always meant the difference between success and failure. By calling attention to what should be obvious, Mark McCormack once again revolutionizes the way business is done, cutting through all the buttons, beeps, and flashing lights to get back to the handshake, the face-to-face conversation, and good old-fashioned common sense. As in his number-one bestselling What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School, Staying Street Smart in the Internet Age offers advice you can put to work today, focusing on the real issues of doing business: managing with efficiency and the right etiquette, staying competitive, staying creative. Each of the ninety brief chapters illustrates one practical rule of thumb, such as "People Who Count on Luck Rarely Get Lucky," "The Best Ideas Cannot Be Stolen," and "Be Wary of Unanimous Agreement." Of course, technology has had a major effect on the speed at which business is conducted, and McCormack attacks this fact from both sides, bringing traditionalists up to speed and reminding "speed junkies" that people skills need not be sacrificed in their haste. Throughout, McCormack cuts directly to the point while still finding time to include enlightening anecdotes from his forty years of experience as the founder and head of the most successful and prestigious celebrity management agency in the world. No matter how soft your wares have grown, the power of the personal touch is what ultimately seals a business deal. How you actually conduct your day, how you treat your employees, and how you deal with clients and competitors are the keys to creating a successful, profitable, and stable business. Whether you're a seasoned CEO -- or have plans to become one -- Staying Street Smart in the Internet Age should be an indispensable element of your business plan.

Detection of identical events from broadcasted sports video by comparing camera works
Authors: Yukinobu Yasugi, Noboru Babaguchi, Tadahiro Kitahashi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM workshops on Multimedia: multimedia information retrieval (2001)

If identical events in a video stream can be recognized, it will become useful information for organizing the continuous media. In broadcasted sports video, there are scenes called "replay" which include important events identical to the live scenes. In this paper, we propose a new method fro detection of identical events by analyzing and matching of the live and replay scenes for broadcasted video of American football. The proposed method pays attention to camera works, because we consider that the works of different cameras that track identical events may move in a similar way. The basic experimental results show that this method is effective for detection of identical events.
Tera hardware-software cooperation
Authors: Gail Alverson, Preston Briggs, Susan Coatney, Simon Kahan, Richard Korry
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

The development of Tera's MTA system was unusual. It respected the need for fast hardware and large shared memory, facilitating execution of the most demanding parallel application programs. But at the same time, it met the need for a clean machine model enabling calculated compiler optimizations and easy programming; and the need for novel architectural features necessary to support fast parallel system software. From its inception, system and application needs have molded the MTA architecture. The result is a system that offers high performance and ease of programming by virtue not only of fast physical hardware and flat shared memory, but also of the streamlined software systems that well utilize the features of the architecture intended to support them.

A Guide to Software Package Evaluation and Selection: The R2ISC Method
Authors: Nathan Hollander
Venue:  (2000)

:The methodical approach presented in this book (called the R[superscript 2]ISC Method) will guide you through each key step to obtaining a package that really meets the needs of your company, based on critical requirements, budget, culture, and in-house technical expertise." "A Guide to Software Package Evaluation and Selection will teach you how to: look at package selection from a holistic business point of view - not just a technology or features-and-functions angle; identify deficiencies in the package before the contract is signed; take into account the priorities and needs when multiple departments are using the same package; get buy-in from the main user group; change the package selection process from an IT perspective to a business-needs perspective; take control of a vendor's presentation so that it becomes a tool for assessing suitability - rather than a mere sales pitch; and reduce the time required for implementation by preparing and educating users in advance.
Run-time HW/SW codesign for discrete event systems using dynamically reconfigurable architectures
Authors: Juanjo Noguera, Rosa M. Badia
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

HW/SW codesign and Reconfigurable Computing are commonly used methodologies for digital systems design. However, no previous work has been carried out in order to define a run-time HW/SW codesign methodology for dynamically reconfigurable architectures. Besides, all previous approaches to reconfigurable computing context scheduling are based on static scheduling techniques.In this paper we present a run-time HW/SW codesign methodology for discrete event systems using dynamically reconfigurable architectures and a dynamic approach to reconfigurable computing multi-context scheduling. We have applied our methodology to software acceleration, and present the obtained results.

Adaptive demand-driven multicast routing in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks
Authors: Jorjeta G. Jetcheva, David B. Johnson
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

The use of on-demand techniques in routing protocols for multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks has been shown to have significant advantages in terms of reducing the routing protocol's overhead and improving its ability to react quickly to topology changes in the network. A number of on-demand multicast routing protocols have been proposed, but each also relies on significant periodic (non-on-demand) behavior within portions of the protocol. This paper presents the design and initial evluation of the Adaptive Demand-Driven Multicast Routing protocol (ADMR), a new on-demand ad hoc network multicast routing protocol that attemps to reduce as much as possible any non-on-demand components within the protocol. Multicast routing state is dynamically established and maintained only for active groups and only in nodes located between multicast senders and receivers. Each multicast data packet is forwarded along the shortest-delay path with multicast forwarding state, from the sender to the receivers, and receivers dynamically adapt to the sending pattern of senders in order to efficiently balance overhead and maintenance of the multicast routing state as nodes in the network move or as wireless transmission conditions in the network change. We describe the operation of the ADMR protocol and present an initial evaluation of its performance based on detailed simulation in ad hoc networks of 50 mobile nodes. We show that ADMR achieves packet delivery ratios within 1% of a flooding-based protocol, while incurring half to a quarter of the overhead.

Efficient algorithms for routing dependable connections in WDM optical networks
Authors: G. Mohan, C. Siva Ram Murthy, Arun K. Somani
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

We consider the problem of establishing dependable connections in WDM networks with dynamic traffic demands. We call a connection with fault-tolerant requirements as a dependable connection (D-connection). We consider the single-link failure model in our study and recommend the use of a proactive approach, wherein a D-connection is identified with the establishment of the primary lightpath and a backup lightpath at the time of honoring the connection request. We develop algorithms to select routes and wavelengths to establish D-connections with improved blocking performance. The algorithms use the backup multiplexing technique to efficiently utilize the wavelength channels. To further improve channel utilization, we propose a new multiplexing technique called primary-backup multiplexing. Here, a connection may not have its backup lightpath readily available throughout its existence. We develop algorithms based on this technique to route D-connections with a specified restoration guarantee. We present an efficient and computationally simple heuristic to estimate the average number of connections per link that do not have backup lightpaths readily available upon a link failure. We conduct extensive simulation experiments on different networks to study the performance of the proposed algorithms.
Software update via mobile agent based programming
Authors: Lorenzo Bettini, Rocco De Nicola, Michele Loreti
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We describe a system that permits maintaining the software installed on several heterogeneous computers distributed over a network by taking advantage of the mobile agent paradigm. The applications are installed and updated only on the central server. When a new release of an application is installed on the server, agents are scattered along the network to update the application on the clients.To build a prototype system we use X-KLAIM, a programming language specifically designed to program distributed systems composed of several components interacting through multiple tuple spaces and mobile code.

Interface Culture: How New Technology Transforms the Way We Create and Communicate, 1st edition
Authors: Steven Johnson
Venue:  (1997)

:Steven Johnson bridges the gap that yawns between technology and the arts. Drawing on his own expertise in the humanities and on the Web, he not only demonstrates how interfaces - those buttons, graphics, and words on the screen through which we control information - influence our daily lives, but also tracks their roots back to Victorian novels, early cinema, and even medieval urban planning. The result is a lush cultural and historical tableau in which today's interfaces take their rightful place in the lineage of artistic innovation. With Interface Culture, Johnson brilliantly charts the vital role interface design plays in modern society. Just as the great novels of Melville, Dickens, and Zola explained a rapidly industrializing society to itself, he argues, Web sites, Microsoft Bob, flying toasters, and the landscapes of video games tell the digital society how to imagine itself and how to get around in cyberspace's unfamiliar realm. The role once played by novelists is now fulfilled by the interface designer, who has bridged the gap between technology and everyday life by providing a conceptual framework for the vast amounts of information and computation that surround us. Johnson boldly explores the past - a terrain hardly any tech thinker has dared enter and one that throws dazzling light on the modern interface's roots. From the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages to the rise of perspective drawing in the Renaissance, from Enlightenment satire to the golden age of television, Interface Culture uses a wealth of venerable "interface innovation" to place newfangled creations like Windows 95 and the Web in a rich historical context. Interface Culture also looks at the future - from what PC screens will look like in ten years to how new interfaces will alter the style of our conversation, prose, and thoughts. With a distinctively accessible style, Interface Culture brings new intellectual depth to the vital discussion of how technology has transformed socie

The Invariants of the Clifford Groups
Authors: Gabriele Nebe, E. M. Rains, N. J. A. Sloane
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

The automorphism group of the Barnes-Wall lattice L_m in dimension 2^m(m \neq 3 ) is a subgroup of index 2 in a certain &ldquo;Clifford group&rdquo; \mathcal{C}_m of structure 2_+^{1+2m} . O^+(2m,2). This group and its complex analogue \mathcal{X}_m of structure (2_+^{1+2m}{\sf Y}Z_8) . Sp(2m, 2) have arisen in recent years in connection with the construction of orthogonal spreads, Kerdock sets, packings in Grassmannian spaces, quantum codes, Siegel modular forms and spherical designs. In this paper we give a simpler proof of Runge@apos;s 1996 result that the space of invariants for \mathcal{C}_m of degree 2k is spanned by the complete weight enumerators of the codes C \otimes \Bbb{F}_{2^m}, where C ranges over all binary self-dual codes of length 2k; these are a basis if m \ge k-1. We also give new constructions for L_m and \mathcal{C}_m: let M be the \Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{2}]-lattice with Gram matrix \scriptsize\big[\begin{array}{@{}r@{\quad}r@{}} 2 & \sqrt{2} \\ \sqrt{2} & 2 \end{array} \big]. Then L_m is the rational part of M^{\otimes m}, and \mathcal{C}_m = {{\rm Aut}} (M^{\otimes m} ). Also, if C is a binary self-dual code not generated by vectors of weight 2, then \mathcal{C}_m is precisely the automorphism group of the complete weight enumerator of C \otimes \Bbb{F}_{2^m}. There are analogues of all these results for the complex group \mathcal{X}_m, with &ldquo;doubly-even self-dual code&rdquo; instead of &ldquo;self-dual code.&rdquo;
