Wellsprings of Knowledge: Building and Sustaining the Sources of Innovation
Authors: Dorothy Leonard-Barton
Venue:  (1995)

:Why are some companies better at innovation than others? Drawing on the candid reflections of managers at leading technology-based companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Chaparral Steel, Microsoft, and Motorola, Wellsprings of Knowledge shows that the successful innovators are companies that build and manage knowledge effectively. The book reveals lessons for creating, nurturing, and growing the experience and accumulated knowledge of the organization into renewable assets and competitive advantage. Leonard-Barton illustrates the dimensions of the core capabilities along which all organizations must innovate: skills and knowledge base, physical systems, managerial systems, and values and norms of behavior. However, these capabilities can function as "core rigidities" if not constantly assessed. Managers must design capabilities as evolving, organic reservoirs. Wellsprings of Knowledge will help managers understand the long-term, systemic, and people-based nature of technological advantage and inspire them to think constantly about the potential knowledge-building import of every technology-related decision they make.

Web page change and persistence---a four-year longitudinal study
Authors: Wallace Koehler
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

Changes in the topography of the Web can be expressed in at least four ways: (1) more sites on more servers in more places, (2) more pages and objects added to existing sites and pages, (3) changes in traffic, and (4) modifications to existing text, graphic, and other Web objects. This article does not address the first three factors (more sites, more pages, more traffic) in the growth of the Web. It focuses instead on changes to an existing set of Web documents. The article documents changes to an aging set of Web pages, first identified and collected in December 1996 and followed weekly thereafter. Results are reported through February 2001. The article addresses two related phenomena: (1) the life cycle of Web objects, and (2) changes to Web objects. These data reaffirm that the half-life of a Web page is approximately 2years. There is variation among Web pages by top-level domain and by page type (navigation, content). Web page content appears to stabilize over time; aging pages change less often than once they did.

Mind Your Own Business: The Battle for Personal Privacy
Authors: Gini Graham Scott
Venue:  (1995)

:The 1990s are becoming known as the decade of privacy invasion due to myriad social and technological developments infringing upon our personal liberty - the information revolution, the growing fears about crime, the ongoing fight over health reform, the gossip-hungry media, the expansion of data banks, and a renewed concern with community standards. As a result, individuals and organized groups are fighting to hold onto independence and freedom against those trying to expose the private sector to public scrutiny. Dr. Gini Graham Scott, a nationally recognized expert on personal privacy and other related issues, gives a shrewd overview of current privacy battles in and out of the courtroom that are directly influencing what can remain private. In addition, this book brilliantly delineates the growing impact of print and broadcast media - citing examples of early privacy skirmishes generated by the press back in the late 1800s, the extensive coverage of government communist witch-hunts and the anti-war/antiestablishment demonstrations and counterreactions during the 1960s, and today's transformation of news agencies into tabloid reporting - to show our current difficulties in controlling the scope and power of the media in their quest for information. Mind Your Own Business skillfully steers an objective course in explaining recent controversial views within these battles, while advocating the right of individuals to maintain as much personal privacy protection as possible. This book will be of undeniable importance for sociologists, legal and medical professionals, individual rights' advocates, politicians, and anyone who wants the right to control what others do or do not have a right to know about themselves.

Structured programming: fact, fantasy, and future
Authors: David V. Moffat
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

The criteria for judging the quality of programs have changed along with the changes in what we expect from programs. There have been many attempts to devise methods for producing programs that satisfy the new criteria. Among these attempts, the most generally accepted principles of structured programming are the most rational. But, although they provide an introduction to good programming practices, the principles of structured programming are too narrow in their scope.I will discuss the criteria for program quality, evaluate some of the current methodologies, develop the most reasonable programming strategy, and show the skills required to use it. I will then discuss the means by which these skills are to be gained, and evaluate our capacity to attain them. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Design Method of a Class of Embedded Combinational Self-Testing Checkers for Two-Rail Codes
Authors: Stanislaw J. Piestrak
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

This paper tackles the open problem of designing combinational self-testing checkers (STCs) for K-pair 2-rail codes which are self-testing, even by a subset of codewords, such that some input lines are 0 (or 1) for only one input codeword. The checker presented here has both theoretical and practical importance. It is useful, e.g., to build STCs for other systematic error detecting codes like Berger codes with I=2k-1 data bits and arithmetic codes with the check base A=2k-1+1, K=3, 4, 5,....It also allows the designers to build functional totally self-checking circuits with 100 percent fault coverage in which such 2-rail codes could not have been used otherwise.

Helping faculty make technology a part of the curriculum
Authors: Brian Gardner, Neil Clarke
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

Drew University had a problem. Despite an early lead in ubiquitous computing, the use of technology in the curriculum had been sidetracked by the technology itself. Faculty were interested, but it wasn't clear where to turn to for support and advice. Small pilot projects were planted to seed larger grant applications. This led to a continuing program that gives faculty a single point of contact and many opportunities to get the experience and exposure they need to improve education through the appropriate use of technology.At the center of this support model is a facility called the Faculty Lab. Building such a facility isn't enough. Maintaining appropriate staffing, services that are inviting to all levels, and advanced enough to demonstrate up-and-coming technologies is challenging. While training is available throughout the year, the summer months host a specialized training and development program. It all begins with a one week hands-on workshop that covers a wide variety of topics. These typically discipline-focused sessions precede a faculty-selected project that must be completed during the remaining summer months. Progress is reviewed and the faculty are rewarded for their time and effort. Some participants are asked to present as part of a panel of veterans in the following year's workshop. This process of reinforcement, implementation, and recognition has been rated very positively by participants, but it has not been without pitfalls.This process is now embedded in Drew's ongoing program of using technology in the curriculum. In recent years, nearly 60% of our faculty have participated. However, as the level of awareness and interest in technology evolves, an expanding set of demands replaces our original problem. This time, however, we have a solid foundation from which to work.

"Let's play 'puters": expressive language use at the computer center
Authors: Karen L. Kelly, John R. Schorger
Venue: Information Technology in Childhood Education Annual (2001)

The researchers investigated 25 preschool children's expressive language while they were engaged at a classroom computer center and during their free play at traditional early childhood learning centers. The participants were enrolled in an inclusive preschool setting and ranged in age from four years, three months to five years, two months, at the beginning of the study. Over a period of six months, trained pre-service educators collected multiple language samples from each child at the computer center and at a variety of other classroom centers such as blocks, housekeeping, library, and art. An analysis of each child's mean length of utterance (MLU) indicated that 21 of the children evidenced no significant difference in the amount of language spoken at the computer versus other learning centers. Of the remaining four children, one used more expressive language at the computer, while three children were more verbal at other centers. Results indicated that the use of computers, as a self-selected activity, in early childhood classrooms could be as enriching for children's language development as other traditional learning centers.
