Bringing the enterprise into a database systems course
Authors: Thomas K. Moore
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

Most database systems courses concentrate on teaching the principles of relational databases. An alternative approach is one in which those principles are taught within the context of emerging enterprise systems. A description is given in this paper of a course that has been successfully taught at the undergraduate level that uses the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) model, and its services, to illustrate basic database principles.
Scalable secure storage when half the system is faulty
Authors: Dahlia Malkhi, Julien Stern
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

In this paper, we provide a method to safely store a document in perhaps the most challenging settings, a highly decentralized replicated storage system where up to half of the storage servers may incur arbitrary failures, including alterations to data stored in them. Using an error correcting code (ECC), e.g., a Reed-Solomon code, one can take n pieces of a document, replace each piece with another piece of size larger by a factor of such that it is possible to recover the original set even when up to t of the larger pieces are altered. For t close to n/2 the space blowup factor of this scheme is close to n, and the overhead of an ECC such as the Reed-Solomon code degenerates to that of a trivial replication code. We show a technique to reduce this large space overhead for high values of t. Our scheme blows up each piece by a factor slightly larger than two using an erasure code which makes it possible to recover the original set using n/2-O (n/d) of the pieces, where d80 is a fixed constant. Then we attach to each piece O (d log n/log d) additional bits to make it possible to identify a large enough set of unmodified pieces, with negligible error probability, assuming that at least half the pieces are unmodified and with low complexity. For values of t close to n/2 we achieve a large asymptotic space reduction over the best possible space blowup of any ECC in deterministic setting. Our approach makes use of a d-regular expander graph to compute the bits required for the identification of n/2-O (n/d) good pieces.

Web-based application development: a software engineering approach
Authors: Said Hadjerrouit
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

In contrast to the construction of centralised software systems which relies on a well established approach, there is a lack of a proven methodology that guides software engineers in building web-based applications. The focus is still on technology rather than analysis and design issues. However, just as the focus in software engineering shifted from programming to process thirty years ago, the focus with web-based construction must shift from technical issues to the development process. This paper describes a software engineering methodology for developing web-based applications motivated by pedagogical and pragmatic considerations.
Persuasion and Privacy in Cyberspace: The Online Protests over Lotus Marketplace and the Clipper Chip
Authors: Laura J. Gurak
Venue:  (1997)

:What happens when the Internet is used as a forum for public debate? Do the speed and power of computer-mediated communication foster democratic discourse and protest? This fascinating book examines two examples of social action on the Internet - the organized protests against Lotus MarketPlace and the Clipper chip - in order to evaluate the impact of the net on our social and political life. In 1990, Lotus Development Corporation announced the forthcoming production of a direct-mail marketing database that would contain the names, addresses, and spending habits of 120 million American consumers. A grassroots outcry on the Internet resulted in decision by Lotus to cancel the project. In 1994, the U.S. government proposed a new encryption standard called the Clipper chip, which, for the purposes of national security, could decrypt any message on any telephone in which it was installed. This encryption standard was implemented, despite opposition in the form of an online petition of more than forty thousand signatures. Laura J. Gurak tells the full stories of these protests, analyzes the resulting rhetoric and the reasons for the different outcomes, considers positive and negative aspects of computer-mediated communication, and challenges claims about cyberspace as a bastion of free speech by pointing out problems of access, structure, and gender bias on the Internet. In addition, because both cases involved technologies that raised concerns about the right to privacy on the Internet, she discusses issues of privacy in cyberspace.

Brainmakers: How Scientists Are Moving beyond Computers to Create a Rival to the Human Brain
Authors: David Freedman
Venue:  (1994)

:The idea of building intelligent machines has fascinated scientists and lay people for centuries. But progress has been much slower than everyone predicted thirty-five years ago when artificial intelligence and robotics first emerged. Although computers can crunch numbers at staggering speeds, so-called "thinking machines" have achieved very little ability - outside of highly restricted domains such as chess - to reason in useful or interesting ways, or even to do simple things that children can manage easily, such as recognizing faces or moving through a room without bumping into furniture. But now a new approach to artificial intelligence promises to break that logjam. Brainmakers is an account of the revolutionary research taking place around the world, aimed at creating devices that are more like living brains than computers. David H. Freedman introduces us to the adventurous researchers leading this new field, as well as to their creations, including a robot farm where robots will be "bred" for intelligence; a jarful of chemicals that can recognize patterns, and act like a primitive life-form; a machine that experiences human-like brainwaves and mental disorders; and a new form of computer chip fashioned out of living brain cells. In colorful detail David H. Freedman shows how this radically new research has moved into a realm that transcends computer science, combining neuroscience, microbiology, evolutionary biology, and zoology. Brainmakers is the first account of the latest developments in this exciting area of science and technology.

Controllability and Optimization of Pseudohyperbolic Systems
Authors: S. I. Lyashko, V. V. Semenov, T. I. Sergienko
Venue: Cybernetics and Systems Analysis (2002)

The problems of singular optimization and controllability of systems described by the boundary-value problems for pseudohyperbolic equations are studied. The existence and uniqueness theorems for solutions to basic boundary-value problems for pseudohyperolic equations in the nonclassic Sobolev-like spaces under wide assumptions as to right-hand sides are proved. Based on these results, final impulse-point controllability of the systems and existence of optimal control are studied.
Updating a Generalized URV Decomposition
Authors: Michael Stewart, Paul Van Dooren
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

An updating scheme for a quotient type generalization of a URV decomposition of two matrices is introduced. This decomposition allows low complexity updating as rows are added to two rectangular matrices, determining the dimension of three distinct subspaces. One of these subspaces is the intersection of the range space of the two matrices---information which leads to a potential application in subspace algorithms for system identification.
System support for smart cars: requirements and research directions
Authors: Raymond Cunningham, Vinny Cahill
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

With the introduction of Wireless Local Area Networking technology in recent years, many exciting applications are now closer to becoming a reality. One such application is the smart car or automated vehicle - a car capable of transporting its passenger(s) to their intended destination without human intervention. For this application, automated vehicles need to be able to co-ordinate with each other in a reliable and timely fashion.A logical approach to this problem would be to use existing real-time group communication techniques. However, existing techniques have been designed with a more static network in mind. In particular, group membership is more dynamic in the automated vehicle application. In this paper we outline new requirements for group communication suitable for such mobile applications. Such group communication must take into account the proximity of members of the group to each other.The Anois project, at Trinity College Dublin, is currently developing such a group communication system addressing these new requirements that arise due to mobility.
Metacube: a new interconnection network for large scale parallel systems
Authors: Yamin Li, Shietung Peng, Wanming Chu
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

The hypercube has been widely used as the interconnection network for parallel computers. However, in hypercubes, the number of communication links for each node is a logarithmic function of the total number of nodes. Therefore, the hypercube is not a good candidate for an interconnection network for a very large parallel computer that might contain hundreds of thousands of nodes due to IC technology and port number limitations. This paper introduces a new interconnection network for very large parallel computers called metacube (MC). An MC network has a 2-level cube structure. An MC(k, m) network can connect 2m2k+k nodes with m+k links per node, where k is the dimension of the high-level cubes (classes) and m is the dimension of the low-level cubes (clusters). An MC network is a symmetric network with short diameter, easy and efficient routing and broadcasting similar to that of the hypercube. However, an MC network can connect millions of nodes with up to 6 links per node. An MC(2,3) with 5 links per node has 16,384 nodes and an MC(3,3) with 6 links per node has 134,217,728 nodes. We describe the MC network's structure, topological properties and routing and broadcasting algorithms.
ARTES: an interactive highway design program
Authors: Michel-Pierre Gonin, Thurber J. Moffett
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

The geometrical definition of a highway alignment is the result of a compromise between two conflicting objectives: keeping within budget limits and providing the user with optimum safety, operating and aesthetic conditions. The interactive graphic console when used as a large computer system peripheral unit is a particularly well-adapted instrument, when properly programmed, to assist the designer in resolving this conflict. It presents him with the appropriate graphical displays representing his design choices and offers him the possibility of modifying these choices as the computer processing progresses. ARTES is such an interactive program. It displays the geometrical elements composing a highway alignment (horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, natural ground and highway cross sections), and displays composed elements such as perspective views and visibility diagrams. It prints out earthworks quantities, plots all graphical elements and enables the program user to modify the geometrical elements composing the alignment thus enabling him to study multiple alternatives affecting construction costs and user conditions.

Determining component reliability using a testing index
Authors: John Morris, Peng Lam, Gareth Lee, Kris Parker, Gary A Bundell
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

Component-Based Software Engineering has the potential to provide reliable systems based on tested components quickly and economically, but these systems will only be as reliable as the components from which they are constructed. We propose a 6-point scale which can be used to rate the degree to which a component has been tested. This scale can be used by developers to assess the risk of using a third party component. Since a variety of test strategies are used, it is necessary to correlate testing strategies with our scale. In this paper, we examine the testing strategies specified in British Standard 7925-2 and show how they relate to the reliability levels that we propose. Since well-behaved use of resources is also a key factor in overall system reliability, we propose that an 'R' tag be added to the rated level when resource usage has been verified to be within reasonable bounds.

Paging as a "language processing" task
Authors: Michael W. Condry
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

This paper examines "language processing" approach to paging where the of the programming language compiler or interpreter is responsible for generating the necessary control code for the page management of a program. We explore this idea for APL and describe an approach to incorporating in a program the necessary paging functions. The semantics of APL computation are examined to observe how paging operations can be incorporated into the computation. We discuss a model of data access in APL that exhibits storage use for both scalar and page references. A data structure that encodes the logical use of data from an array is introduced. We find that ordering computations efficiently and computing paging needs can be determined by simple transformations on this structure. This analysis leads us to an efficient method for paging an APL computation. Our approach builds on previous studies for efficiently executing APL.
