Securing a wireless network
Authors: Jon Allen, Jeff Wilson
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

Driven by pressure to facilitate mobile computing, universities are plunging into wireless networking. Although wireless offers convenience and low-cost deployment, it lacks any inherent means of strong security. Common methods of securing wireless networks include WEP, VPN, MAC registration, IEEE 802.1x, and Firewalls. Each method offers some security, but at varying levels of complexity, convenience, cost effectiveness and completeness. Each security method has its own drawbacks.
Medline: A Guide to Effective Searching
Authors: Brian S. Katcher
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:The most remarkable thing about MEDLINE--other than its size--is the amount of human energy that has gone into indexing its contents. MEDLINE is the collective product of a small army of indexers, who have, for more than 30 years, characterized the contents of more than 4,200 journals that publish information about the causes, prevention, and treatment of disease and injury. Each of the more than ten million journal articles, letters, and editorials that are catalogued in MEDLINE has been read by a skilled indexer, who has assigned to it roughly a dozen subject headings, drawn from a controlled vocabulary of more than 19,000 Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). If you understand the elaborate indexing schemes that are embodied in MEDLINE, you can use this understanding to search it with a high degree of precision. Size is also important. Because its coverage is so broad, MEDLINE can be thought of as the index to the world's medical literature, the on-line catalogue of biomedical journal articles. It is an essential tool for assessing the scientific basis for current knowledge about health. MEDLINE is produced by the National Library of Medicine and is the largest and best organized database of its kind. But MEDLINE searching can be daunting, producing results that are too comprehensive or too limited to be useful, hence this book. MEDLINE is a bibliographic, not a full-text database; it contains citations to the medical literature, usually with abstracts. Its full application requires reading the literature itself-in a medical library, in on-line journals, or in a personal collection of journals. The intent of this book is the promotion of better searches and, hence, better application of what is known. The story of MEDLINE's origins and evolution, which sets the stage for understanding how this powerful database works, is told in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 describes the key indexing elements that are used to characterize articles in MEDLINE. This chapter also begins to show how this indexing information can be used to find articles. Because Medical Subject Headings are so important to searching in MEDLINE, they are described in greater depth in Chapter 3. (Throughout the text, specific Medical Subject Headings are set in small capital letters. Since "MEDLINE" itself is a Medical Subject Heading, it is displayed this way as well.) Chapter 4 illustrates how the combination of Medical Subject Headings and Publication Types can be used to focus a search, and Chapter 5 contains some practical tips. There is no single, perfect way to search in MEDLINE. This book is designed to help you search with an understanding of what is possible and not be disappointed.

An evaluation of mobile phone text input methods
Authors: Lee Butts, Andy Cockburn
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

The rapid growth of Short Message Service (SMS) text messaging is generating substantial commercial and research interest in fast and efficient text input methods for mobile devices. This paper presents an empirical study that compares three mobile phone text input techniques. The methods are 'multi-press input with timeout', 'multi-press input with a next button', and 'two-key'. The study shows that there is a significant speed difference, in words per minute (wpm), between the methods. The multi-press with next method provided the most rapid text input at 7.2 wpm, followed by multi-press with timeout at 6.4 wpm. The two-key method was the slowest at 5.5 wpm. These results are much slower than those predicted by Fitts' Law models reported in prior research. Subjective results regarding learnability, errors and efficiency showed no significant difference between the methods.
Decomposition of preemptive scheduling in the Go! component-based operating system
Authors: Greg Law, Julie McCann
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

Embedded systems are required to exhibit ever increasing functionality while continuing to use minimal resources. The next generation of embedded operating systems must support protection with very low overheads, as well as being (dynamically) configurable. Go! is a prototype component-based system that runs natively on the Intel 386 based PC. Its novel protection mechanism means that components are (optionally) protected from one another, but exhibit very low overheads. Furthermore, components can perform system tasks previously considered bound to the kernel (such as interrupt handling and preemptive scheduling).Go! does not provide multithreading, but is constructed so that components comprising a 'library operating system' may provide (preemptive) multithreading with relative ease. This paper describes that support, and goes on to present the scheduling provided by GTE (a 'proof-of-concept' library operating system built on top of Go ). We show that decomposing multithreading into thread components, an interrupt-dispatcher and a scheduler is practical, useful, stable, and performs well.

Solving Satisfiability Problems Using Elliptic Approximations. A Note on Volumes and Weights
Authors: Hans van Maaren, Joost P. Warners
Venue: Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (2003)

In this note we propose to use the volume of elliptic approximations of satisfiability problems as a measure for computing weighting coefficients of clauses of different lengths. For random 3-SAT formula it is confirmed experimentally that, when applied in a DPLL algorithm with a branching strategy that is based on the ellipsoids as well, the weight deduced yields better results than the weights that are used in previous studies.

On the VC Dimension of Bounded Margin Classifiers
Authors: Don Hush, Clint Scovel
Venue: Machine Learning (2001)

In this paper we prove a result that is fundamental to the generalization properties of Vapnik's support vector machines and other large margin classifiers. In particular, we prove that the minimum margin over all dichotomies of k &le; n + 1 points inside a unit ball in Rn is maximized when the points form a regular simplex on the unit sphere. We also provide an alternative proof directly in the framework of level fat shattering.

Tendencies and Tensions of the Information Age: The Production and Distribution of Information in the United States
Authors: Jorge Reina Schement, Terry Curtis
Venue:  (1995)

:The development of technology and the hunger for information has caused a wave of change in daily life in America. Nearly every American's environment now consists of cable television, video cassette players, answering machines, fax machines, and personal computers. Schement and Curtis argue that the information age did not evolve suddenly, but gradually throughout the twentieth century. They contend that national focus on the production and distribution of information stems directly from the organizing principles and realities of the market system, not from a revolution sparked by the invention of the computer. The first section examines the idea of information, showing that its origins reach back to the emergence of European culture. The second, large segment addresses theories in competition and analyzes the relationship between industrial society and information society. Much of the book is devoted to exploring how information infiltrates both professional and and personal lives. Schement and Curtis end by reviewing images of the information society, and offering a framework about its development and impact. Tendencies and Tensions of the Information Age brings together findings from many disciplines including classical studies, etymology, political sociology, and macroeconomics. It provides a useful study on the current dominance of technology and communication in the United States. This valuable resource will be enjoyed by sociologists, historians, and scholars of communication and information studies.

Comparison of High-Accuracy Finite-Difference Methods for Linear Wave Propagation
Authors: David W. Zingg
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

This paper analyzes a number of high-order and optimized finite-difference methods for numerically simulating the propagation and scattering of linear waves, such as electromagnetic, acoustic, and elastic waves. The spatial operators analyzed include compact schemes, noncompact schemes, schemes on staggered grids, and schemes which are optimized to produce specific characteristics. The time-marching methods include Runge--Kutta methods, Adams--Bashforth methods, and the leapfrog method. In addition, the following fully-discrete finite-difference methods are studied: a one-step implicit scheme with a three-point spatial stencil, a one-step explicit scheme with a five-point spatial stencil, and a two-step explicit scheme with a five-point spatial stencil. For each method, the number of grid points per wavelength required for accurate simulation of wave propagation over large distances is presented. The results provide a clear understanding of the relative merits of the methods compared, especially the trade-offs associated with the use of optimized methods. A numerical example is given which shows that the benefits of an optimized scheme can be small if the waveform has broad spectral content.
