Information Technology in Context: Studies from the Perspective of Developing Countries
Authors: Chrisanthi Avgerou, Geoff Walsham
Venue:  (2001)

:Many information technology development projects and policy initiatives for the implementation of information and communication technology in developing countries seem to ignore the fact that the process of implementing such systems is closely linked with the social processes of the area involved. This book uses a wide range of case studies from throughout the developing world to illustrate the importance of context. It elaborates on the organizational, national and sectoral contextual aspects that are implicated in the development and use of information systems and uses a broadly 'interpretive' approach, reporting on the experiences and perceptions of all those involved in the process. The contributors bring together a variety of theoretical perspectives providing a broad analysis of IT development in context.Author Biography: C. Avgerou: Senior lecturer in information systems.

Lisaac: the power of simplicity at work for operating system
Authors: Benoît Sonntag, Dominique Colnet
Venue: Proceedings of the Fortieth International Conference on Tools Pacific: Objects for internet, mobile and embedded applications (2002)

The design as well as the implementation of the Isaac operating system (Sonntag 2000) led us to set up a new programming language named Lisaac. Many features from the Lisaac language come from the Self programming language (Ungar & Smith 1987). Comparing to Self's skills, Lisaac integrates communications protection mechanisms as well as other tools related to operating systems' design. System interruptions support as well as drivers memory mapping have been considered in the design of Lisaac. The use of prototypes and especially dynamic inheritance, fits a flexible operating system in the making. First benchmarks of our compiled objects show that it is possible to obtain high-level prototype-based language's executables as fast as C programs are.
On the approximation properties of Cesàro means of negative order of Walsh-Fourier series
Authors: Ushangi Goginava
Venue: Journal of Approximation Theory (2002)

In this paper we establish approximation properties of Cesàro (C, -α)-means with α ∈ (0, 1) of Walsh Fourier series. This result allows one to obtain the condition which is sufficient for the convergence of the means σn-α(f,x) to f(x) in the Lp-metric. We also show that this condition cannot be improved in the case p = 1.
A New Error Estimate of the Fast Gauss Transform
Authors: B. J. C. Baxter, George Roussos
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

The fast Gauss transform of L. Greengard and J. Strain [SIAM J. Sci. Statist. Comput., 12 (1991), pp. 79--94] reduces the computational complexity of the evaluation of the sum of N Gaussians at M points in d-dimensional space from ${\cal O}(MN)$ to ${\cal O}(M+N)$ floating-point operations. In this note, we provide numerical evidence that the error estimate of Lemma 2.1 in [SIAM J. Sci. Statist. Comput., 12 (1991), pp. 79--94] is erroneous and then proceed to calculate a replacement error estimate for the fast Gauss transform, incorporating an improved upper bound for Hermite functions.
Precision locks
Authors: J. R. Jordan, J. Banerjee, R. B. Batman
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

This paper describes a new method for controlling data base concurrency, called precision locks (PL). The name is derived from the fact that they lock precisely the set of tuples required to guarantee data base consistency, phantoms included. This results in maximum concurrency among all tuple-level locking methods, including predicate locks. A framework for comparing locking systems which indicates the errors committed by them is introduced. It is shown that existing systems commit these errors while PL does not. While other logical locking systems are limited in the complexity of permissible predicates, PL allows them to be arbitrary. It is shown that transactions under PL are well formed and two phased which is sufficient to maintain consistency. The execution cost of PL is compared to a conventional tuple-level locking method. It is found that PL usually is cheaper to execute.

Solving parameter estimation problem in new product diffusion models
Authors: Rudolf Scitovski, Marcel Meler
Venue: Applied Mathematics and Computation (2002)

In this paper we propose a new method for the parameter identification in new product diffusion models. The method can be used regardless of whether the analytical solution of the differential equation describing the model is known or not. This is the main advantage of our method over the known methods. Another advantage of this method is the simplicity of its implementation and negligible computing time. The method is based on finite differences method and the moving least squares method for data smoothing.

Which core technology for your network?
Authors: S. Saracino
Venue: BT Technology Journal (2002)

The paper deals with the subject of how to build a core network in the current technology scenario. We start with an overview of what we consider a core network, not in an abstract way but referring to real country situations, and pointing out the different aspects conditioning its realisation &ndash; population distribution, territory shape, traffic characteristics. In the next section a summary of different network topologies is presented and briefly analysed &ndash; rings, meshes, loosely or tightly interconnected, with particular attention to the resilience aspect in case of faults. The following section is dedicated to a short presentation of the current technology scenario and how it reflects on the network elements (NEs) offered on the market (OXC, OADM, PXC, etc). Finally, the question is posed: &ldquo;What is the best way to implement a core network?&rdquo; with the conclusion being that there is no single answer &ndash; each situation must be pursued on a case-by-case basis.

Tracing the evaluation of APL expressions
Authors: John Sigle
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1985)

The ability to trace each step in the evaluation of an APL expression is useful for debugging and improving APL code as well as for teaching APL. This facility can be provided by the APL interpreter, however, it is not clear what form of display is most suitable for this purpose. In this paper three alternate forms of display are described, illustrated and compared. The question of how this capability should be invoked is also addressed.

SXML specification
Authors: Oleg Kiselyov
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

The present article specifies revision 2.1 of SXML. SXML is an abstract syntax tree of an XML document. SXML is also a concrete representation of the XML Infoset in the form of S-expressions. The generic tree structure of SXML lends itself to a compact library of combinators for querying and transforming SXML.The master SXML specification file is written in SXML itself. The present paper is the result of translating that SXML code into LATEX, using an appropriate "stylesheet". A different stylesheet converted the specification to HTML. The master file, the stylesheets and the corresponding HTML and LATEXdocuments are available at http://pobox.com/~oleg/ftp/Scheme/xml.html.
Dependence analysis for recursive java programs
Authors: Baowen Xu, Zhenqiang Chen
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2001)

Dependence analysis is an important approach to analyzing, understanding, testing and maintaining programs. This paper develops a new kind of dependence analysis method for recursive Java programs. In our method, the program dependence graph (PDG) of a Java program consists of a set of PDGs that are not connected. They interact with each other by dependences among parameters. Thus, he inter-function dependence analysis is transformed to intra-function dependence analysis. Based on this model, we develop a new approach to analyze dependences of a direct or indirect recursive Java program by simulating its execution.
