The Millennium Meltdown: The 2000 Computer Crisis
Authors: Grant R. Jeffrey
Venue:  (1998)

:As the new millennium begins, millions of computers throughout the world will begin to crash. The lights will go out where the computers that run the electric power grid fail to make the transition to the next century. Many government agencies and businesses will be unable to function as their essential computer programs either shut down or produce false data. The failure to correct this massive problem before the Year 2000 deadline will threaten jobs, our food, and our finances. Virtually every part of our complex society is vulnerable because every system is interlinked with sophisticated computers. The year 2000 Crisis will be the most devastating and expensive problem in history. This crisis may se the stage for the coming world government that was prophesied to arise in the last days. In light of the overwhelming danger from the Year 2000 Crisis, it is essential that we learn how to protect our family, our homes, and our finances from the approaching danger. The Millennium meltdown will document the extent of the computer collapse and how dramatically this will impact your life. This book will outline practical strategies to protect your family from the greatest technological crisis in our lifetime. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Design spaces for link and structure versioning
Authors: E. James Whitehead,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

This paper reflects upon existing composite-based hypertext versioning systems, and presents two high-level design spaces that capture the range of potential choices in system data models for versioning links, and versioning hypertext structure. These two design spaces rest upon a foundation consisting of a containment model, describing choices for containment in hypertext systems, and the design space for persistently recording an object's revision history, with applicability to all versioning systems. Two example points in the structure versioning design space are presented, corresponding to most existing composite-based hypertext versioning systems. Using the presented design spaces allows the data models of existing hypertext versioning systems to be decomposed and compared in a principled way, and provides new system designers significant insight into the design tradeoffs between various link and structure versioning approaches.

On inferring autonomous system relationships in the internet
Authors: Lixin Gao
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

The Internet consists of rapidly increasing number of hosts interconnected by constantly evolving networks of links and routers. Interdomain routing in the Internet is coordinated by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). BGP allows each autonomous system (AS) to choose its own administrative policy in selecting routes and propagating reachability information to others. These routing policies are constrained by the contractual commercial agreements between administrative domains. For example, an AS sets its policy so that it does not provide transit services between its providers. Such policies imply that AS relationships are an important aspect of Internet structure. We propose an augmented AS graph representation that classifies AS relationships into customer-provider, peering, and sibling relationships. We classify the types of routes that can appear in BGP routing tables based on the relationships between the ASs in the path and present heuristic algorithms that infer AS relationships from BGP routing tables. The algorithms are tested on publicly available BGP routing tables. We verify our inference results with AT&T internal information on its relationship with neighboring ASs. As much as 99.1% of our inference results are confirmed by the AT&T internal information. We also verify our inferred sibling relationships with the information acquired from the WHOIS lookup service. More than half of our inferred sibling-to-sibling relationships are confirmed by the WHOIS lookup service. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no publicly available information about AS relationships and this is the first attempt in understanding and inferring AS relationships in the Internet. We show evidence that some routing table entries stem from router misconfigurations.

The Entrepreneurial Web: First, Think like an E-Business, 1st edition
Authors: Peter Small
Venue:  (2000)

:The rapid advance of computers and communications technology is generating so many changes that the thinking of yesterday is likely to be irrelevant today. Those with the right mindset and understanding, together with the necessary conceptual tools, can ride this current wave of change successfully. Those able to realize that it is about strategy and communication rather than the technology alone will be able to run rings around the pure technologists. The environment is fast-moving, where early successes and innovations are richly rewarded. Incomplete knowledge is a fact of life in e-business. No one can possibly have all the 'essential' knowledge in this unpredictable, changing environment. Game theory strategies allow for such 'knowledge gaps', using a type of thinking that is outside conventional business models. Solutions cannot be planned or designed in unpredictable competitive environments, they have to be grown from the bottom up. Success isn't about prediction and structural design, it is about being able to cope with the uncertainties and the complexities of this new medium better than others. The Entrepreneurial Web is about understanding the implications of the Internet and the World Wide Web for business and commerce. It is about imaginative, people-to-people communication strategies that are likely to change all the rules for competing in highly competitive markets. It looks at how ideas should be allowed to evolve and respond to changes in order to succeed - something that many large corporate concerns have ignored - to their cost.
Multiway spatial joins
Authors: Nikos Mamoulis, Dimitris Papadias
Venue: ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS) (2001)

Due to the evolution of Geographical Information Systems, large collections of spatial data having various thematic contents are currently available. As a result, the interest of users is not limited to simple spatial selections and joins, but complex query types that implicate numerous spatial inputs become more common. Although several algorithms have been proposed for computing the result of pairwise spatial joins, limited work exists on processing and optimization of multiway spatial joins. In this article, we review pairwise spatial join algorithms and show how they can be combined for multiple inputs. In addition, we explore the application of synchronous traversal (ST), a methodology that processes synchronously all inputs without producing intermediate results. Then, we integrate the two approaches in an engine that includes ST and pairwise algorithms, using dynamic programming to determine the optimal execution plan. The results show that, in most cases, multiway spatial joins are best processed by combining ST with pairwise methods. Finally, we study the optimization of very large queries by employing randomized search algorithms.

Optimal production-distribution planning in supply chain management using a hybrid simulation-analytic approach
Authors: Young Hae Lee, Sook Han Kim
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Production-distribution planning is the most important activity in supply chain management (SCM). To solve this planning problem, either analytic or simulation approaches have been used. However these two approaches have their own demerits in problem solving. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach which is a specific problem solving procedure combining analytic and simulation methods to solve production-distribution problems in supply chains. The machine capacity and distribution capacity constraints in the analytic model are considered as stochastic factors and are adjusted by the proposed specific process according to the results from an independently developed simulation model which includes general production-distribution characteristics.
