FIST (foreign interactions in simulated transition): an instructional use of the computer
Authors: Pamela H. Kegley
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

There are many instances in a classroom situation when it is difficult to describe or explain an event or concept. Especially difficult are the real-world dynamic processes where there are multi-variable interactions on varying dimensions. Few processes are as difficult to illustrate as the international political system, in general, or foreign policy-making, specifically. These complex, dynamic, real-world situations can sometimes be best understood by the student if (s)he is able to experience and be part of these processes. One such experience available to the student of foreign policy in international relations is FIST. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Toward a multiple copy file assignment model for files in a computer system
Authors: Lawrence G. Jones, Derrell V. Foster
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

The placement of files among computer system storage devices can have a significant impact on system performance. Here we present a method to represent multiple copies of read-write files that accounts for the overhead involved in updates. We then present a solution technique for the file assignment problem for the case of read-write files without multiple copies. The technique analyzes the system as a network of queues and assigns files to devices by integer programming. The resultant file assignment is optimal with respect to CPU throughput.
A case management system: three views of an application
Authors: Judith G. Malkin, Bruce F. Anderson
Venue: Proceedings of the 1978 ACM SIGMOD international conference on management of data (1978)

A system was designed to manage the case files for a social service organization. The system was implemented as a SYSTEM 2000 data base. The goal was to centralize the case files in machine readable form while restricting their usage and form as little as possible.This paper provides three views of the application: the user's perspective, a descriptive model, and the implementation.

Computer assisted land use planning for a state park
Authors: Bradley D. Carter, W. Frank Miller, Jerry C. Harris
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

This paper describes a project presently underway utilizing remotely sensed data and computer assisted procedures for the location and planning of a new state park. Data was collected on an initial study area of 128,620 acres from which several possible park sites were outlined. After a site was selected, similar procedures were used to outline possible locations for various elements within the park. An iterative design procedure will be used to develop an optimum final design for the park. Included is a detailed discussion of the CAGUP (computer assisted land use planning) package developed to support the planning procedure.

An application architecture for large data visualization: a case study
Authors: C. Charles Law, Amy Henderson, James Ahrens
Venue: Proceedings of the IEEE 2001 symposium on parallel and large-data visualization and graphics (2001)

In this case study we present an open-source visualization application with a data-parallel novel application architecture. The architecture is unique because is uses the Tcl scripting language to synchronize the user interface with the VTK parallel visualization pipeline and parallel-rendering module. The resulting application shows scalable performance, and is easily extendable because of its simple modular architecture. We demonstrate the application with a 9.8 gigabyte structured-grid ocean model.

Stochastic Neural Computation II: Soft Competitive Learning
Authors: Bradley D. Brown, Howard C. Card
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

An investigation has been made into the use of stochastic arithmetic to implement an artificial neural network solution to a typical pattern recognition application. Optical character recognition is performed on very noisy characters in the E-13B MICR font. The artificial neural network is composed of two layers, the first layer being a set of soft competitive learning subnetworks and the second a set of fully connected linear output neurons. The observed number of clock cycles in the stochastic case represents an order of magnitude improvement over the floating-point implementation assuming clock frequency parity. Network generalization capabilities were also compared based on the network squared error as a function of the amount of noise added to the input patterns. The stochastic network maintains a squared error within 10 percent of that of the floating-point implementation for a wide range of noise levels.

ATTIC: a case study of directory-enabled course management
Authors: Michael Richichi
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

Academic Technology Tools for Instructional Computing (ATTIC) is Drew University's system of shared file space, collaborative groups, discussions, email lists, and Web pages that are automatically configured for every faculty and student, using an industry-standard, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) compliant directory (Novell eDirectory 8.5.) ATTIC services are provided by a heterogeneous environment of NetWare 5.1 and Linux systems and rely on LDAP integration and scripting in Perl, PHP, and Python.ATTIC leverages the ubiquitous computing program at Drew and takes advantage of every faculty member and student having a network account. Standard group objects are used to store information and membership of courses, and are used to control access to space on a NetWare fileserver, and directory-enabled Web interfaces to course data. The emphasis is on automation-nightly updates of registration data are used to update LDAP and filesystem structures nightly without operator intervention, and LDAP-based authentication, access control, and directory information provides a customized interface to students and faculty based on their network identity.This session will describe how the ATTIC system was created and its current feature set. We'll show how LDAP is set up to provide secure access to information. We'll see how the session manager is used to provide common authentication to multiple web servers. A detailed analysis of the file system and directory structure will be provided, as well as an example of integration with an administrative information system. We'll also discuss future plans including integration with commercial courseware packages.

Optimization of available C compilers for the MC68HC11
Authors: Susan M. Holzschuh
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

This paper presents the results of analysis and the manual application of optimizations available in optimizing compilers to two C cross compilers available for the M68HC11 processor. These optimizations are specifically targeted to make the code more memory efficient. Also included in the analysis is a comparison of code generated for modules that have been written in C language with corresponding assembly language modules. Size improvements for specific optimizations are presented, and suggestions are made on how to improve the compilers in the study to generate code that is more memory efficient.
Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace
Authors: James J. O'Donnell
Venue:  (1997)

:In this penetrating book, James O'Donnell takes a reading on the promise and the threat of electronic technology for our literate future. O'Donnell reinterprets today's communication revolution through a series of refracted comparisons with earlier revolutionary periods: the transition from oral to written culture, from the papyrus scroll to the codex, from copied manuscript to print. His engaging portrayals of these analogous epochal moments suggest that our steps into cyberspace are not as radical as we might think. Observing how technologies of the word have affected the shaping of culture in the past, and how technolgical transformation has been managed, O'Donnell offers modes for navigating the electronic transformation now underway.
