Uyless Black's Networking 101
Authors: Uyless D. Black
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:PrefaceIn the past, some of my clients, and most of my friends and relatives, have asked me to write an introductory book on computer networks. These nontechnical folks expressed a wish to read a book I wrote that they could actually understand. For my previous books, I told them to just look at the pictures, but that did more harm than good. So, for the networking-empaired, be you a client, friend, relative, or any combination thereof, this book is for you.Joking aside, my intent in writing this book is to explain data networks and the Internet in nonengineering, nontechnical terms. Given this goal, it is impossible to describe a computer network without any technical jargon whatsoever. But I have been careful in the use of buzz-words, and have attempted to explain technical concepts in nontechnical terms.The writing of this book has been a new experience for me. It is my first attempt at writing a beginner's book on the subject of computer networks. So, both of us are venturing into something new: myself in my writing, and you in reading this book.There are two prerequisites to reading Networking 101. First, you should have logged on to the Internet or some other data network, maybe even successfully. Second, you should be able to count up to 2. But the numbers are not 1 and 2; you must start at 0 and proceed to 1. If 0 is not a valid number in your mind, don't read any further. If you have mastered these prerequisites, then welcome to the world of Networking 101. I hope you learn a substantial amount from reading this book, and I hope you enjoy the process. I have interjected a few light comments here and there to"lighten the load" for the Networking 101 newcomer. For the seasoned networking veteran, I trust I have presented some novel ways for you to think about computer networks.

V&A; III: verification and validation without independence: a recipe for failure
Authors: James D. Arthur, Richard E. Nance
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Verification and validation (V&V) is a prominent technical area within simulation, attested to by the 12 tutorial sessions (including five advanced) included in the past ten Winter Simulation Conferences (WSCs). In recent WSCs the issue of Independent V&V (IV&V) has drawn increased attention, with sessions examining the perceived lack of use and little concern for the technique evinced within the simulation community. The objectives of this paper are four-fold: (1) to examine the current picture in software systems development, (2) to review the rationale, role and expressed need for IV&V, (3) to identify the benefits attendant in the insistence on the "independent" status of the activity, and (4) to respond to the usual criticisms of negative impacts on cost and schedule. While the treatment is couched in the more general software systems context, we contend that simulations represent prime candidates for IV&V application.
A software-based eye tracking system for the study of air-traffic displays
Authors: Jeffrey B. Mulligan
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 symposium on Eye tracking research & applications (2002)

This paper describes a software-based system for offline tracking of eye and head movements using stored video images, designed for use in the study of air-traffic displays. These displays are typically dense with information; to address the research questions, we wish to be able to localize gaze within a single word within a line of text (a few minutes of arc), while at the same time allowing some freedom of movement to the subject. Accurate gaze tracking in the presence of head movements requires high precision head tracking, and this was accomplished by registration of images from a forward-looking scene camera with a narrow field of view.

Switched-Current Signal Processing and A/D Conversion Circuits: Design and Implementation
Authors: Bengt E. Jonsson
Venue:  (2000)

:Switched-Current Signal Processing and A/D Conversion Circuits: Design and Implementation describes the design and implementation of switched-current (SI) circuits with emphasis on signal processing and data-conversion applications. The work includes theoretical analysis, high-level and circuit-level simulation results as well as measurement results from a few of the author's circuit implementations. An extensive overview of the SI field of research is also given. The book contains an extensive overview of the switched-current field of research, and can therefore be used as a quick-reference to the field. The description of each design example has been organized to describe the entire design flow from system level design and simulation, to circuit simulation, layout and measurement as accurately as possible. Thus it is possible to follow each step in the design process. Switched-Current Signal Processing and A/D Conversion Circuits: Design and Implementation is an invaluable reference for researchers and circuit designers working with one-chip mixed-signal system solutions, and low-voltage analog CMOS design. It will also be appreciated by anyone requiring a quick overview of what has been done in the SI field.

Simulating wide-area replication
Authors: Sape J. Mullender, Martijn van der Valk
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

We describe our experiences with simulating replication algorithms for use in far flung distributed systems. The algorithms under scrutiny mimic epidemics. Epidemic algorithms seem to scale and adapt to change (such as varying replica sets) well. The loose consistency guarantees they make seem more useful in applications where availability strongly outweighs correctness; e.g., distributed name service.

Goal-Seeking Behavior in a Connectionist Model
Authors: Thomas E. Portegys
Venue: Artificial Intelligence Review (2001)

Goal-seeking behavior in a connectionist model is demonstrated using the examples of foraging by a simulated ant and cooperative nest-building by a pair of simulated birds. The model, a control neural network, translates needs into responses. The purpose of this work is to produce lifelike behavior with a goal-seeking artificial neural network. The foraging ant example illustrates the intermediation of neurons to guide the ant to a goal in a semi-predictable environment. In the nest-building example, both birds, executing gender-specific networks, exhibit social nesting and feeding behavior directed toward multiple goals.
Prince: A Practical Handbook, 2nd edition
Authors: Colin Bentley
Venue:  (1999)

:PRINCE (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is the standard project management method for government IT departments, approved by the CCTA. Powerful and flexible, it is increasingly being used by private and public sector companies. SSADM (Structured System Analysis Design Methodology) is the set of application development procedures and techniques approved by the CCTA, so it is certain that PRINCE and SSADM work well together. PRINCE a practical handbook is aimed at readers who want to learn what the PRINCE method is all about, intend to implement it, are the clients of a contractor who will use it, or will participate in a project being managed according to PRINCE guidelines. It describes each of the five PRINCE components in detail: products, activities, organisation, plans and controls. This book relates the PRINCE components to the practical issues of setting up and running a project; provides a clear picture of how using PRINCE provides a business like start to a project, ensuring its viability and the effective use of resources before any large scale expenditure is undertaken; covers the main management concerns about a project; project initiation, controlling products, quality, change and project closure and concludes with descriptions of the normal products of an IT project, sample forms which can be used in the various PRINCE components, and role descriptions to fit all the defined roles.

Managing periodically updated data in relational databases: a stochastic modeling approach
Authors: Avigdor Gal, Jonathan Eckstein
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2001)

Recent trends in information management involve the periodic transcription of data onto secondary devices in a networked environment, and the proper scheduling of these transcriptions is critical for efficient data management. To assist in the scheduling process, we are interested in modeling data obsolescence, that is, the reduction of consistency over time between a relation and its replica. The modeling is based on techniques from the field of stochastic processes, and provides several stochastic models for content evolution in the base relations of a database, taking referential integrity constraints into account. These models are general enough to accommodate most of the common scenarios in databases, including batch insertions and lifespans both with and without memory. As an initial "proof of concept" of the applicability of our approach, we validate the insertion portion of our model framework via experiments with real data feeds. We also discuss a set of transcription protocols that make use of the proposed stochastic model.
Half day tutorial in methods of component-based software engineering essential concepts and classroom experience
Authors: Kurt Wallnau, Scott Hissam, Robert C. Seacord
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th European software engineering conference held jointly with 9th ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2001)

The question of which design methods are appropriate for component-based development (CBD) is complicated by different understandings of the end objectives CBD. A further complication is different understandings of what is meant by "component." These differences lead to entirely distinct classes of design problem. The aim of this tutorial is to, first, outline the differing interpretations of CBD, and, second, to outline the required methodological responses to these design problems.

The effects of communication parameters on end performance of shared virtual memory clusters
Authors: Angelos Bilas, Jaswinder Pal Singh
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

Recently there has been a lot of effort in providing cost-effective Shared Memory systems by employing software only solutions on clusters of high-end workstations coupled with high-bandwidth, low-latency commodity networks. Much of the work so far has focused on improving protocols, and there has been some work on restructuring applications to perform better on SVM systems. The result of this progress has been the promise for good performance on a range of applications at least in the 16-32 processor range. New system area networks and network interfaces provide significantly lower overhead, lower latency and higher bandwidth communication in clusters, inexpensive SMPs have become common as the nodes of these clusters, and SVM protocols are now quite mature. With this progress, it is now useful to examine what are the important system bottlenecks that stand in the way of effective parallel performance; in particular, which parameters of the communication architecture are most important to improve further relative to processor speed, which ones are already adequate on modern systems for most applications, and how will this change with technology in the future. Such information can assist system designers in determining where to focus their energies in improving performance, and users in determining what system characteristics are appropriate for their applications.We find that the most important system cost to improve is the overhead of generating and delivering interrupts. Improving network interface (and I/O bus) bandwidth relative to processor speed helps some bandwidth-bound applications, but currently available ratios of bandwidth to processor speed are already adequate for many others. Surprisingly, neither the processor overhead for handling messages nor the occupancy of the communication interface in preparing and pushing packets through the network appear to require much improvement.
