Lotus Datalens in the Client/Server Environment: SpreadSheet-to-Database Enterprise Computing, 1st edition
Authors: Wayne Lavitt, Martin Chetlen, Paul Nolan, Don Nadel, Tad Staley, Steve Hartwell, Chris Allaire
Venue:  (1993)

:PC users have leveraged the Lotus 1-2-3 spread sheet into daily business routines for over a decade, and it is not uncommon to find PC hard drives with worksheet storage totaling 10, 50, even 100 megabytes. Managing this data, avoiding repetitious data entry, and tracking worksheet models containing thousands of hours of analyses is becoming unwieldy, if not impossible. PC shops and IS departments are working together and merging their technologies to build client/server systems to help manage large and growing databases. Lotus DataLens has shipped free with every copy of 1-2-3 (except 1-2-3 for DOS 2.x) since 1989. From the early dBASE III driver included with Release 3.0, to the new Release 2.1 for OS/2 drivers - IBM Database Manager (with DDCS/2 host links to DB2/2, DB2, SQL/DS, and OS/400), dBASE IV, ORACLE 7, Paradox, SQL Server - the DataLens family has grown and matured, providing 1-2-3 users with transparent access to corporate databases. This middleware component honors DBMS rules and conventions so that 1-2-3 clients interact harmoniously with server databases. How is this done? We show you how in this book which covers everything from the simple mechanics of getting external data into your spreadsheet (Section II), to a discussion of DBMS issues faced by IS and the PC community when implementing client/server systems (Section V). PC users will find it helpful to review querying techniques within 1-2-3 and read "A Database Primer" covering basic SQL statements. IS staffers will find how Data Lens smoothly fits into the larger picture, that client development is minimal due to the familiar 1-2-3 interface, and that database administration of the back end is as routine as adding new users, VIEWS, and permissions. Real world case studies are included in Section IV, including a large-corporate example from Xerox. Section VI lists and describes DataLens drivers available for IBM and Macintosh clients accessing DBMSs on UNIX, VAX, AS/400, or IBM 3090 server
Fixing the Java bytecode verifier by a suitable type domain
Authors: Roberto Barbuti, Luca Tesei, Cinzia Bernardeschi, Nicoletta De Francesco
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The Java Virtual Machine embodies a verifier which performs a set of checks on bytecode programs before their execution. The verifier performs a data-flow analysis applied to a type-level abstract interpretation of the code. The current implementations of the bytecode verifier present a significant problem: there are legal Java programs which are correctly compiled into a bytecode that is rejected by the verifier. Also the more powerful verification techniques proposed in several papers suffer from the same problem. In this paper we propose to enhance the bytecode verifier to accept such programs, maintaining the efficiency of current implementations. The enhanced version is based on a domain of types which is more expressive than the one used in standard verification.

JERPA: a distance-learning environment for introductory Java programming courses
Authors: David Emory, Roberto Tamassia
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

This paper describes a Java-based distance-education tool, called the Environment for Remote Programming Assignments in Java (JERPA), for use in computer science courses with Java programming assignments. JERPA reduces the demand on the university's computing infrastructure while providing instructors with an easy system to deploy and distribute assignments, and allowing students greater flexibility as they work on the assignments. JERPA yields immediate advantages to traditional on-campus CS courses and provides a key functionality to programming courses offered in a distance-education setting.
The way we were: twenty-five years of end user computing support in higher education
Authors: John E. Bucher
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

This is a brief survey of the methods, challenges, and success stories of end user computing support services in colleges and universities for the past 25 years. Calling upon the papers and presentations of the proceedings of the annual ACM SIGUCCS User Services Conference, along with the personal experiences of the author, this paper identifies the common trends and special circumstances of end user computing support in colleges and universities since the late 1970's. Many things have changed, others have not. Support for distributed computing has been a regular concern, as has the recruitment, retention and training of staff. Another perennial topic is the understandable concern about stress and the avoidance of burnout. At least a dozen papers in the proceedings deal with this latter issue. Of particular importance, is the care and feeding of student assistants; this has been an ever-present issue on the minds of user services managers. The evolution of mainframe to micro to personal to networked computing is also a very evident theme through the time period, and of course, the support issues surrounding international networking and the World Wide Web has dominated the past seven years.The survey provides an interesting, and at times amusing, retrospective view of how far we have come and how many times we have been consumed by the newest technology or the latest user demand. Although it can only be measured subjectively, I conclude that end user support has generally improved quite a bit through the years in spite of the rapid evolution of technology and the incredible increase in the number and diversity of end users.

Windows 2000 Active Directory, 1st edition
Authors: Alistair G. Lowe-Norris
Venue:  (2000)

:The most important change in Windows 2000 is the inclusion of Active Directory, a fully qualified directory service. It is such an important change that Systems Administrators are likely to find coming to grips with Active Directory to be one of their biggest headaches. But it doesn't have to be that way. Windows 2000 Active Directory gives administrators an in-depth knowledge of AD, and it is an indispensable guide they will turn to whenever they need help. The book addresses systems administrators, both those who are evaluating Windows 2000 trying to understand the design issues involved as well as those who will be using Windows 2000 on a daily basis. As Active Directory is a new technology for Windows, Windows 2000 Active Directory provides a solid foundation in AD basics and it describes how to use it effectively. This book is divided into three sections: The Basics, which provides an overview of the Active Directory technology and a detailed introduction to AD features. Design, which describes mapping your organization's typology into the Active Directory schema; specific topics include the AD namespace and DNS, AD objects such as sites and domains, replication, group policies, and migration issues. Scripting, which covers the powerful capabilities of the Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI), including ADSI's use with ActiveX Data Objects (ADO),Active Server Pages (ASP), and Visual Basic (VB). Written by a participant in the Windows 2000 Rapid Deployment Program, Windows 2000 Active Directory focuses on the practical, hands-on information you need to manage your site. Instead of a screen-by-screen description of the graphical user interface, this book focuses on the tasks you need to perform to manage your organization's directory effectively. The heavy emphasis on scripting with the ADSI will help you automate tasks to achieve greater reliability and save time. Windows 2000 Active Directory is a practical guide to the new technology for the overworked system or network administrator.
A program form based on data dependency in predicate regions
Authors: Jeanne Ferrante, Karl J. Ottenstein
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1983)

A new program representation is presented which permits certain optimizations to be performed at less expense than with other forms. This paper describes code motion, common subexpression elimination and induction variable detection. Scalar propagation and constant folding are sketched here, but detailed elsewhere. The powerful code motion strategy allows entire regions of the program to be moved. The representation described may be used as a compiler intermediate form or simply as a model for program analysis. It has great potential for use in translation for parallel machines.
The infopad multimedia terminal: a portable device for wireless information access
Authors: Thomas E. Truman, Trevor Pering, Roger Doering, Robert W. Brodersen
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

The architecture of device that is optimized for wireless information access and display of multimedia data is substantially different than configurations designed for portable stand-alone operation. The requirements to reduce the weight and energy consumption are the same, but the availability of the wireless link, which is needed for the information access, allows utilization of remote resources. A limiting case is when the only computation that is provided in the portable terminal supports the wireless links or the I/O interfaces, and it is this extreme position that is explored in the InfoPad terminal design. The architecture of the InfoPad terminal, therefore, can be viewed as essentially a switch which connects multimedia data sources in the supporting wired network to appropriate InfoPad output devices (e.g., video display), and connects InfoPad input devices to remote processing (e.g., speech recognizer server) in the backbone network.

Information retrieval and structured documents
Authors: Yves Chiaramella
Venue: Lectures on information retrieval (2001)

Standard Information Retrieval considers documents as atomic units of information that are indexed and retrieved as a whole. Modern evolution of document design and storage have since a long time introduced more elaborate representations of documents; standards such as SGML, then HTML and XML are of course major contributions in this domain. These standards underly today evolutions towards modern electronic documents. In this context, retrieving structured documents refers to index and retrieve information according to a given structure of documents. This means that documents are no longer considered as atomic entities, but as aggregates of interrelated objects that can be retrieved separately; given a retrieval query, one may retrieve the set of document components that are most relevant to this query. In this chapter we shall first emphasise some aspects which, in our opinion, relate explicit use of document structure to interactive retrieval performances, such as efficiency while browsing or querying information. In a second step we shall investigate two classes of implementation approaches dealing with indexing and retrieving structured documents: passage retrieval and explicit use of hierarchical structures of documents.

Chebyshev Spectral Methods for Radiative Transfer
Authors: Arnold D. Kim, Miguel Moscoso
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We study the performance of Chebyshev spectral methods for time-dependent radiative transfer equations. Starting with a method for one-dimensional problems in homogeneous media, we show that the modifications needed to consider more general problems such as inhomogeneous media, polarization, and higher dimensions are straightforward. In this method, we approximate the spatial dependence of the intensity by an expansion of Chebyshev polynomials. This yields a coupled system of integro-differential equations for the expansion coefficients that depend on angle and time. Next, we approximate the integral operation on the angle variables using a Gaussian quadrature rule resulting in a coupled system of differential equations with respect to time. Using a second-order finite difference approximation, we discretize the time variable. We solve the resultant system of equations with an efficient algorithm that makes Chebyshev spectral methods competitive with other methods for radiative transfer equations.
