Economics of Intellectual Property in a World without Frontiers: A Study of Computer Software
Authors: Meheroo Jussawalla
Venue:  (1992)

:Focusing on computer software, this book explores the problems arising from dynamic information technology in its application to intellectual property rights. The work analyzes the legal and political implications of investment in the software programming industry and the near futility of monitoring protection of intellectual property. It begins by exploring the current state of copyright laws for computer software. It then analyzes the economic theories of demand elasticities, public choice, clubs, and the concept of public goods as those theories apply to intellectual property. This analysis is followed by a discussion of legislation in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China.
Principles of Informational Ethics
Authors: Richard James Severson
Venue:  (1997)

:Severson begins with an introductory chapter in which he presents his model of principled ethics, followed by four chapters on each one of these guiding principles: respect for intellectual property; the principle of fair representation; privacy; and the principle of nonmalfeasance. The book is written in an accessible manner, avoiding the technical jargon of ethics, and making a simple, straightforward case for the supportive value of ethical principles in the sometimes confusing moral world of the information age. Includes many illustrations and case studies.
MobiMine: monitoring the stock market from a PDA
Authors: Hillol Kargupta, Byung-Hoon Park, Sweta Pittie, Lei Liu, Deepali Kushraj, Kakali Sarkar
Venue: ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter (2002)

This paper describes an experimental mobile data mining system that allows intelligent monitoring of time-critical financial data from a hand-held PDA. It presents the overall system architecture and the philosophy behind the design. It explores one particular aspect of the system---automated construction of personalized focus area that calls for user's attention. This module works using data mining techniques. The paper describes the data mining component of the system that employs a novel Fourier analysis-based approach to efficiently represent, visualize, and communicate decision trees over limited bandwidth wireless networks. The paper also discusses a quadratic programming-based personalization module that runs on the PDAs and the multi-media based user-interfaces. It reports experimental results using an ad hoc peer-to-peer IEEE 802.11 wireless network.

Languages for Digital Embedded Systems
Authors: Stephen A. Edwards
Venue:  (2000)

:Appropriate for use as a graduate text or a professional reference, Languages for Digital Embedded Systems is the first detailed, broad survey of hardware and software description languages for embedded system design. Instead of promoting the one language that will solve all design problems (which does not and will not ever exist), this book takes the view that different problems demand different languages, and a designer who knows the spectrum of available languages has the advantage over one who is trapped using the wrong language. Languages for Digital Embedded Systems concentrates on successful, widely-used design languages, with a secondary emphasis on those with significant theoretical value. The syntax, semantics, and implementation of each language is discussed, since although hardware synthesis and software compilation technology have steadily improved, coding style still matters, and a thorough understanding of how a language is synthesized or compiled is generally necessary to take full advantage of a language. Practicing designers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates will all benefit from this book. It assumes familiarity with some hardware or software languages, but takes a practical, descriptive view that avoids formalism.

Probabilistic quorum systems
Authors: Dahlia Malkhi, Michael K. Reiter, Avishai Wool, Rebecca N. Wright
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

We initiate the study of probabilistic quorum systems, a technique for providing consistency of replicated data with high levels of assurance despite the failure of data servers. We show that this technique offers effective load reduction on servers and high availability. We explore probabilistic quorum systems both for services tolerant of benign server failures and for services tolerant of arbitrary (Byzantine) ones. We also prove bounds on the server load that can be achieved with these techniques. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
Shield count minimization in congested regions
Authors: Prashant Saxena, Satyanarayan Gupta
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

With worsening crosstalk in nanometer designs, it is becoming increasingly important to control the switching cross-coupling experienced by critical wires. This is commonly done by adding shields adjacent to these wires. However, the number of wires requiring shields in high frequency designs becomes extremely large, resulting in a large area impact. We address this problem at both the methodological and algorithmic levels in this paper, integrating the traditionally separate steps of power and signal routing in a safe manner to minimize the number of shields required to satisfy all shielding constraints. We postpone the power routing in middle metal layers to after critical signal nets and their shields have been laid out (with maximal shield sharing), and then try to construct a fine-grained power grid out of the already routed shields. Given a routing on a metal layer, our adaptive power routing algorithm adds provably fewest new power lines to complete the power grid on that layer. Our approach has proven highly effective while designing some high frequency blocks of a commercial gigahertz range microprocessor.

Semiotic engineering contributions for designing online help systems
Authors: Milene Selbach Silveira, Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza, Simone D. J. Barbosa
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

Our goal is to improve the content of help systems and provide better access to it, by giving users opportunities to signal breakdowns during interaction. To this end, we use a semiotic engineering model that explores both direct and indirect messages sent from designers to users via systems' interfaces. These messages represent how the designers conceived of the application, how they built it, and why. The online help system is an important component, because this is where designers have the best chances to explicitly express their vision. In this paper we review some of the classifications used to characterize help systems, and suggest that user-intent sensitivity should be explored as a new classification if we are targeting at efficient designer/user communication. We allow users to signal their intents by choosing among a limited set of predefined utterances, which provide an entry point to a cohesive discourse structure. The discourse is about the application's design rationale, and the operational and tactical instructions about how to use the application. Coupled with the application's conceptual model, and also the task and interaction models, these utterances allow help systems to provide information with increased probability of addressing the user's intentions.
Change Detection and Input Design in Dynamical Systems
Authors: Feza Kerestecioglu
Venue:  (1993)

:Provides information on the detection and diagnosis of abrupt changes in the dynamics of single input single output stochastic systems and the design of auxiliary inputs for this purpose. The problem is put in a decision theoretic framework and the concepts of classicial decision theory are augmented to accommodate the input design as well as the decision rules for change detection. The sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is investigated in detail. The detection mechanism as well as the input design techniques are extended to the multihypothesis case.
How knowledge workers use the web
Authors: Abigail J. Sellen, Rachel Murphy, Kate L. Shaw
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

We report on a diary study of how and why knowledge workers use the World Wide Web. By examining in detail a complete two-day set of Web activities from each of 24 people, we construct a framework with which to describe the different tasks knowledge workers undertake. By looking at the characteristics of each type of activity, we can see how certain activities are unsuited to particular kinds of technologies (e.g., mobile devices); how Web tools might be incrementally improved; and how we might better support knowledge workers' Web tasks in the future
CyberCities: Visual Perception in the Age of Electronic Communication
Authors: M. Christine Boyer
Venue:  (1995)

:Noted urban historian M. Christine Boyer turns to the new frontier - cybercities - in this important and compelling new book. Boyer argues that the computer is to contemporary society what the machine was to modernism, and that this new metaphor profoundly affects the way we think, imagine, and ultimately grasp reality. But there is, she believes, an inherent danger here: that as cyberspace pulls us into its electronic grasp, we withdraw from the world. Transferred, plugged in, and down-loaded, reality becomes increasingly immaterial. Frozen to one side of our terminal's screen, Boyer concludes, we risk becoming incapable of action in a real city plagued by crime, hatred, disease, unemployment, and under-education.

Flexible Real-Time Linux*: A Flexible Hard Real-Time Environment
Authors: Andrés Terrasa, Ana García-Fornes, Vicente J. Botti
Venue: Real-Time Systems (2002)

This paper presents a framework appropriate for Flexible Real-Time Systems (FRTS) and a run-time support system based on that framework, called Flexible Real-Time Linux (FRTL). The framework proposes to build each task as a sequence of mandatory and optional components and to separate their execution in two scheduling levels. This approach is shown to provide both hard guarantees and flexible behavior. The FRTL system has been implemented by enhancing the original capabilities of Real-Time Linux (RT-Linux), while maintaining its predictability and efficiency features. This paper also shows a complete schedulability test on which all sources of overhead of the FRTL itself have been introduced. By applying this complete test, the designer is able to safely guarantee a real-time application running on the FRTL system.
The Integration of Object-Oriented Programming Languages, 1st edition
Authors: Iain Craig
Venue:  (2000)

:While there are many books on particular languages, especially C++ and Java, they tend to concentrate on how to program using that language and their treatment of the semantics is highly languages-specific. A more wide-ranging comparison of the various languages and their underlying concepts is lacking. The Interpretation of Object-Oriented Programming Languages attempts to provides a comprehensive treatment of the main approaches to object-oriented languages, including:- class-based, prototype, and actor languages. This book will be useful for final year undergraduates/first year postgraduates studying object-oriented programming, as well as research students and others requiring a detailed account of object-oriented programming languages and their central concepts.

An object-oriented metrics suite for Ada 95
Authors: William W. Pritchett,  IV
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2001)

Ada 95 added object-oriented programming capabilities to the existing Ada standard. The object-oriented paradigm results in new relationships within and among software modules. Traditional software product metrics, i.e., those metrics developed for functionally oriented software, do not account for these new relationships and may be insufficient for use in object-oriented development. This paper addresses this deficiency by 1) defining a set of object-oriented metrics tailored to Ada 95 software, and 2) providing empirical evidence of their validity. This set of metrics includes product measures quantifying the class-related software attributes of size, coupling, cohesion, and complexity. The results indicate that many of the metrics examined do correlate to the number of revisions made to the classes during development.

Highly portable and efficient implementations of parallel adaptive N-body methods
Authors: David Blackston, Torsten Suel
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

We describe the design of several portable and efficient parallel implementations of adaptive N-body methods, including the adaptive Fast Multipole Method, the adaptive version of Anderson's Method, and the Barnes-Hut algorithm. Our codes are based on a communication and work partitioning scheme that allows an efficient implementation of adaptive multipole methods even on high-latency systems. Our test runs demonstrate high performance and speedup on several parallel architectures, including traditional MPPs, shared-memory machines, and networks of workstations connected by Ethernet.
