Working with NetWare: For Network Supervisors and Users, 4th edition
Authors: Gilbert Held
Venue:  (1994)

:While it's been estimated that Novell's NetWare operating system is now being used in about 75% of all local area networks, the percentage of network users and supervisors who have mastered NetWare is much smaller. Certainly most current books on the market haven't helped to raise the level of proficiency, since they lack the detail required to encourage optimal use of NetWare. Gilbert Held's Working with NetWare is a welcome exception. This unique, hands-on resource provides you with a highly accessible yet in-depth presentation of the practical tools and techniques needed to tune and control NetWare in the most effective manner possible, becoming the first book in the field to satisfy the operational needs of network users and supervisors. Working with NetWare describes the essential operation of LANs, network standards and characteristics, the basic relationship between hardware and software, and NetWare components. It systematically goes on to show how you can effectively: implement network security using file rights and permission; manage user access with full coverage of types of login scripts and script commands; manage network access with SYSCON and USERDEF; install and use NetWare accounting, including establishing charge rates and user account balances; exploit NetWare printer options with details on using network printers and NetWare utility programs; control NetWare parameters using MONITOR and the SET menu facility; and manage NetWare with the help of specific third-party products. Working with NetWare offers you numerous examples of how to use NetWare to perform specific network-related operations, which you can use outright or adapt to meet your own specific needs. Designed to enhance users' appreciation of the functions available by obtaining supervisory rights while providing LAN administrators with vital information on the effects of withholding such rights, Working with NetWare is your indispensable guide to the dominant network software in t The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Conceptual Spaces: The Geometry of Thought
Venue:  (2000)

:Within cognitive science, two approaches currently dominate the problem of modeling representations. The symbolic approach views cognition as computation involving symbolic manipulation. Connectionism, a special case of associationism, models associations using artificial neuron networks. Peter Gärdenfors offers his theory of conceptual representations as a bridge between the symbolic and connectionist approaches. Symbolic representation is particularly weak at modeling concept learning, which is paramount for understanding many cognitive phenomena. Concept learning is closely tied to the notion of similarity, which is also poorly served by the symbolic approach. Gärdenfors's theory of conceptual spaces presents a framework for representing information on the conceptual level. A conceptual space is built up from geometrical structures based on a number of quality dimensions. The main applications of the theory are on the constructive side of cognitive science: as a constructive model the theory can be applied to the development of artificial systems capable of solving cognitive tasks. Gärdenfors also shows how conceptual spaces can serve as an explanatory framework for a number of empirical theories, in particular those concerning concept formation, induction, and semantics. His aim is to present a coherent research program that can be used as a basis for more detailed investigations.

The Rise of the Network Society, 2nd edition
Authors: Manuel Castells
Venue:  (2000)

:This ambitious book is an account of the economic and social dynamics of the new age of information. Based on research in the USA, Asia, Latin America, and Europe, it aims to formulate a systematic theory of the information society which takes account of the fundamental effects of information technology on the contemporary world. The global economy is now characterized by the almost instantaneous flow and exchange of information, capital and cultural communication. These flows order and condition both consumption and production. The networks themselves reflect and create distinctive cultures. Both they and the traffic they carry are largely outside national regulation. Our dependence on the new modes of informational flow gives enormous power to those in a position to control them to control us. The main political arena is now the media, and the media are not politically answerable. Manuel Castells describes the accelerating pace of innovation and application. He examines the processes of globalization that have marginalized and now threaten to make redundant whole countries and peoples excluded from informational networks. He investigates the culture, institutions and organizations of the network enterprise and the concomitant transformation of work and employment. He points out that in the advanced economies production is now concentrated on an educated section of the population aged between 25 and 40: many economies can do without a third or more of their people. He suggests that the effect of this accelerating trend may be less mass unemployment than the extreme flexibilization of work and individualization of labor, and, in consequence, a highly segmented socialstructure. The author concludes by examining the effects and implications of technological change on mass media culture ("the culture of real virtuality"), on urban life, global politics, and the nature of time and history. Written by one of the worlds leading social thinkers and researchers The Rise of the Network Society is the first of three linked investigations of contemporary global, economic, political and social change. It is a work of outstanding penetration, originality, and importance.

Knowledge entry as the graphical assembly of components
Authors: Peter Clark, John Thompson, Ken Barker, Bruce Porter, Vinay Chaudhri, Andres Rodriguez, Jérôme Thoméré, Sunil Mishra, Yolanda Gil, Pat Hayes, Thomas Reichherzer
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Knowledge capture (2001)

Despite some successes, the lack of tools to allow subject matter experts to directly enter, query, and debug formal domain knowledge in a knowledge-base still remains a major obstacle to their deployment. Our goal is to create such tools, so that a trained knowledge engineer is no longer required to mediate the interaction. This paper presents our work on the knowledge entry part of this overall knowledge capture task, which is based on several claims: that users can construct representations by connecting pre-fabricated, representational components, rather than writing low-level axioms; that these components can be presented to users as graphs; and the user can then perform composition through graph manipulation operations. To operationalize this, we have developed a novel technique of graphical dialog using examples of the component concepts, followed by an automated process for generalizing the user's graphically-entered assertions into axioms. We present these claims, our approach, the system (called SHAKEN) that we are developing, and an evaluation of our progress based on having users encode knowledge using the system.

Dealing with mobility: understanding access anytime, anywhere
Authors: Mark Perry, Kenton O'hara, Abigail Sellen, Barry Brown, Richard Harper
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) (2001)

The rapid and accelerating move towards use of mobile technologies has increasingly provided people and organizations with the ability to work away from the office and on the move. The new ways of working afforded by these technologies are often characterized in terms of access to information and people anytime, anywhere. This article presents a study of mobile workers that highlights different facets of access to remote people and information, and different facets of anytime, anywhere. Four key factors in mobile work are identified: the role of planning, working in "dead time," accessing remote technological and informational resources, and monitoring the activities of remote colleagues. By reflecting on these issues, we can better understand the role of technology and artifacts in mobile work and identify the opportunities for the development of appropriate technological solutions to support mobile workers.
