Track-it!: help desk automation
Authors: John V. Roberts
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

While we are not fully utilizing all of the functions of Track-It!, we have found the ones we are using to have a great benefit for our organization. The auditing feature itself is almost worth the cost. This feature can automatically populate your inventory with any machine authenticating against your LAN, trapping critical information, such as IP Addresses and MAC addresses in the database. The Help Desk function has enabled us to keep online records of repairs and problems by description and by device. It also allows us to establish timeframes for repairs and installations. Library offers us the ability to sign out software packages and hardware to staff, faculty and students. Reports the generic reports are functional and useful allowing us to find what machines have what software and version on them, including locating instances of Napster.There are numerous add-ons to Track-It! that give it more functionality. The only one we are using is RECEIVE to allow the use of an interactive web page to send an e-mail. Upon receipt of this mail Track-It! automatically opens a ticket. Crystal Reports is another nice feature that comes with the standard version of Track-It! and gives much greater reporting capabilities. We have used this to verify IP address utilization. Track-It! also lends itself to easy customization by the use of tables that can be modified with ease. There are also several User definable fields in each area to further customize the screens.

A core calculus for Java exceptions
Authors: D. Ancona, G. Lagorio, E. Zucca
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2001)

In this paper we present a simple calculus (called CJE) in ourder to fully investigate the exception mechanism of Java, and in particular its interaction with inheritance, which turns out to be non trivial. Moreover, we show that the type system for the calculus directly dirven by the Java language specification (called FULL) uses too many types, in the sense that there are different types which rpovide exactly the same information. Hence, we obtain from FULL a simplified type system called MIN where equivalent types have been identified. We show that is useful both for type-checking optimization and for clarifying the static semantics of the language. The two type systems are proved to satisfy the subject reduction property

Exposing document context in the personal web
Authors: David Wolber, Michael Kepe, Igor Ranitovic
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Reconnaissance agents show context by displaying documents with similar content to the one(s) the user currently has open. Research paper search engines show context by displaying documents that cite or are cited by the currently open document(s). We present a tool that applies such ideas to the personal web, that is, the space rooted in user documents but tightly connected to web documents as well. The tool organizes the personal web with a single topic hierarchy based on direct links, instead of the traditional file, bookmark, and (hidden) direct link hierarchies. The tool allows a user to easily navigate through related user and web documents, no matter whether the documents are related by directory-document, bookmark-document, direct-link, or even similar content relationships.
Structured natural-language descriptions for semantic content retrieval of visual materials
Authors: A. M. Tam, C. H. C. Leung
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

Keyword search of multimedia collections lacks precision and automatic parsing of unrestricted natural language annotations lacks accuracy. We propose a structure for natural language descriptions of the semantic content of visual materials that requires descriptions to be (modified) keywords, phrases, or simple sentences, with components that are grammatical relations common to many languages. This structure makes it easy to implement a collection's descriptions as a relational database, enabling efficient search via the application of well-developed database-indexing methods. Description components may be elements from external resources (thesaurus, ontology, database, or knowledge base). This provides a rich superstructure for the meaningful retrieval of images by their semantic contents.

On-Line Investor: How to Find the Best Stocks Using Your Computer
Authors: Ted Allrich
Venue:  (1995)

:In The On-Line Investor, Ted Allrich shows computer owners and prospective investors how to maximize the earning power of the desktop. Allrich's focus is on small-capitalization stocks - growth companies that have limited shares of available stock. Historically the most profitable group of stocks, small-caps are often ignored by Wall Street managers but are perfect for the individual investor. As Allrich observes, individual investors were at a distinct disadvantage until recently, but the advent of on-line stock information from Prodigy, America Online, CompuServe, and other sources has leveled the playing field. Now a savvy investor can tap into data formerly reserved for professionals only.
The Efficient Computation of Ownership Sets in HPF
Authors: Pramod G. Joisha, Prithviraj Banerjee
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

Ownership sets are fundamental to the partitioning of program computations across processors by the owner-computes rule. These sets arise due to the mapping of arrays onto processors. In this paper, we focus on how ownership sets can be efficiently determined in the context of the HPF language and show how the structure of these sets can be symbolically characterized in the presence of arbitrary array alignment and array distribution directives. Our starting point is a system of equalities and inequalities due to Ancourt et al. [1] that captures the array mapping problem in HPF. We arrive at a refined system that enables us to efficiently solve for the ownership set using the Fourier-Motzkin Elimination technique and that requires the course vector as the only auxiliary vector. The formulation makes it possible to enumerate the elements of the ownership set exactly once, a feature that is very beneficial when such sets are applied to handle DO loops qualified by HPF's INDEPENDENT directive. We develop important and general properties pertaining to HPF alignments and distributions and show how they can be used to eliminate redundant communication due to array replication. Polynomial-time schemes that determine whether the ownership set of a particular processor, with respect to some array, is the empty set or whether the ownership set of every processor, with respect to some array, is the empty set, are presented. We show how distribution directives with unspecified processor meshes can be efficiently handled at compile time. We also show how to avoid the generation of communication code when pairs of array references are ultimately mapped onto the same processors. Experimental data demonstrating the improved code performance that the latter optimization enables is presented and discussed.
The performance of query control schemes for the zone routing protocol
Authors: Zygmunt J. Haas, Marc R. Pearlman
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

In this paper, we study the performance of route query control mechanisms for the Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) for ad hoc networks. ZRP proactively maintains routing information for a local neighborhood (routing zone), while reactively acquiring routes to destinations beyond the routing zone. This hybrid routing approach can be more efficient than traditional routing schemes. However, without proper query control techniques, the ZRP cannot provide the expected reduction in the control traffic.Our proposed query control schemes exploit the structure of the routing zone to provide enhanced detection and prevention of overlapping queries. These techniques can be applied to single- or multiple-channel ad hoc networks to improve both the delay and control traffic performance of ZRP. Our query control mechanisms allow ZRP to provide routes to all accessible network nodes, with less control traffic than purely proactive link state or purely reactive route discovery, and with less delay than conventional flood searching.
A comparison of scaling techniques for BGP
Authors: Rohit Dube
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (1999)

BGP is the inter-domain routing protocol used in the Internet today. During the course of its evolution, the Internet has gone from being a simple and small network to one that is run at its core by large service providers constantly battling with bigger and bigger topologies forcing the routing community to invent ways of scaling both interior and exterior routing protocols. Route-reflectors and confederations have turned out to be the weapons of choice in scaling BGP to these large topologies. This paper takes a close look at these two mechanisms and seeks to compare them.

Towards Very Large Knowledge Bases, 1st edition
Authors: N. J. I. Mars
Venue:  (1995)

:This book presents progress on Building and Sharing Very Large-Scale Knowledge Bases. Progress made so fare: two large-scale projects, EDR and CYC, which have almost been completed; their results await commercial exploitation. In specific scientific domains, progress has been even more formidable: in molecular biology, for instance, large knowledge bases have become (part of the) essential tools for researchers in that domain, as reported in this volume. Another development is the attention being paid to structuring large knowledge bases. The use of a carefully developed set of concepts, called an ontology, is becoming almost standard practice. These developments are also presented in the book. Towards Very Large Knowledge Bases is a guide to the current state of the art in building and sharing very large knowledge bases, and intended as a catalyst to future research, development and applications.
