Life on the OS/network boundary
Authors: Larry L. Peterson
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

Few would argue that protocols are central to the construction of distributed systems. Whether they support remote procedure calls, file transfer, or group communication, protocols are the fundamental building blocks of distributed systems. This paper is not about any particular protocol, but rather about our experiences implementing protocols, in general, in the &chi;-kernel.The &chi;-kernel was originally designed to function as a full-fledged operating system kernel. The original design philosophy was that an operating system kernel is primarily a communication multiplexor, and so the one thing it had better do well is support communication protocols. Towards this end, the &chi;-kernel was explicitly designed to support the rapid implementation of efficient network protocols. Because it was a complete OS kernel, the initial implementation of the &chi;-kernel on Sun3 workstations included support for lightweight processes and multiple virtual address spaces. However, because communication support was our primary concern, the &chi;-kernel didn't contain any real innovations in other areas such as process and memory management; we mostly borrowed ideas from other experimental operating systems like V, Mach, Sprite, and Amoeba.During the last several months, we have refocused our effort by divorcing those aspects of the &chi;-kernel that are specifically related to the implementation of network protocols from the other aspects of the operating system, and we are attempting to embed this protocol-core of the &chi;-kernel in different existing operating systems, most notably, Mach.

Finding re-entrant knight's tours on n-by-m boards
Authors: Karla Alwan, Kelly Waters
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

In this paper we discuss how we developed a highly efficient backtracking algorithm based on proofs we devised concerning Hamiltonian circuits. The algorithm concentrates on a Knight's Tour in which the knight starts and ends on the same square--a Hamiltonian circuit.One version of the program we developed is designed to find all Hamiltonian circuits for any given board. The largest board we exhausted is a six-by-seven. We found 1,067,638 circuits in 43 minutes 2 seconds (actual cpu time), or 413 circuits per second using a Solbourne 4/602.The final version of the program concentrates on finding one Hamiltonian circuit in very large boards. Our software and hardware limit us to a maximum board size of 520x520 in which we found a Hamiltonian circuit in 3 minutes 19 seconds. All of our data from using various sized boards indicate that the program has a time complexity close to O(m.n) on an n-by-m board.
Designing large-scale LANs
Venue:  (2002)

This book is a vendor-neutral guide to designing enterprise computer networks. It describes the guiding principles involved in putting together a stable, reliable, and managable large-scale network. These principles are independent of any particular hardware vendor. A network designer who understands these principles can use a "best of breed" approach to selecting hardware. This in turn results in optimal network performance and lower costs. It also prevents an organization from being inextricably tied to a particular vendor when competing products become available.

The persuasive power of pathos in e-commerce web design: a new area for research
Authors: Wendy Winn
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

In a matter of months, we have witnessed the meteoric rise and fall of e-commerce. Now that the dust is settling, it is time to examine how some companies are succeeding where others have failed. In this paper I suggest that good web design is vital to e-business and that pathos (emotional appeal) plays a key role in a design's persuasive power. Advertisers have long understood this concept. As e-commerce attempts to revolutionize the business world, let class rhetoric serve as the theoretical foundation for a new and exciting area of research.
Transparency for polygon based cloud rendering
Authors: Andrzej Trembilski, Andreas Broßler
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

For the local TV presentation of weather forecast data it is important to have high-quality and fast visualisation of clouds. In this paper we present surface-based transparency computation methods for the high performance visualisation of clouds from data produced by a routine meteorological weather simulation. In contrast to the state-of-the-art volume cloud visualisation we use only hardware-supported polygon-based transparency computation.

Interaction design for Web-based, within-page collection making and management
Authors: M. C. Schraefel, Yuxiang Zhu
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

A common issue in Web browsing is how to manage information found while browsing or searching. The usual approach is either to bookmark an entire page when perhaps only one element is relevant, or to copy information from the page and paste it into a second application, such as a text editor. Neither approach is sufficient. Bookmarks over capture data; copying and pasting components implies that users must shift task focus from search tasks to information management tasks. This forced divided attention [8] between knowledge discovery and information management generally compromises both tasks. In this paper, we look at our iterative process to determine requirements for a tool to support the gathering process. In particular, we consider how these requirements have raised other issues about this interactive process, and how, by further evaluation, we hope to develop a richer Web-based design heuristics for within-page collections.

Growing up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation
Authors: Don Tapscott
Venue:  (1997)

:The bestselling book announcing the arrival of the Net Generationthose kids who are growing up digitalnow in paperback. Heraled by Library Journal as one of the Best Business Books of 1997,Growing Up Digital tells how the N-Generation is learning to communicate,work,shop and play in profoundly new waysand what implications this has for the world and business. Growing Up Digital offers an overview of the N-Generation,the generation of children who in the year 2000 will be between the ages of two and twenty-two. This group is a "tsunami" that will force changes in communications,retailing,branding,advertising,education,etc. Tapscott commends that the N-Generation are becoming so technologically proficient that they will "lap" their parents and leave them behind. The book also demonstrates the common characteristics of the N-Generation: acceptance of diversity,because the Net doesn't distinguish between racial or gender identities,curiosity about exploring and discovering new worlds over the Internet and assertiveness and self-reliance,which result when these kids realize they know more about technology than the adults around them. This eye-opening,fact-filled book profiles the rise of the Net Generation,which is using digital technology to change the way individuals and society interact. Essential reading for parents,teachers,policy makers,marketers,business leaders,social activists,and others,Growing Up Digital makes a compelling distinction between the passive medium of television and the explosion of interactive digital media,sparked by the computer and the Internet. Tapscott shows how children,empowered by new technology,are takingthe reins from their boomer parents and making inroads into all areas of society,including our education system,the government,and economy. The result is a timely,revealing look at our digital future that kids and adults will find both fascinating and instructive.
Contemporary Logic Design, 2nd edition
Authors: Randy H. Katz
Venue:  (2000)

:The book provides comprehensive coverage of programmable logic, including ROMs, PALs, and PLAs. A Practical Matters section concludes most chapters, which ties theory to practice and explains design technologies in detail. To synthesize the text coverage of combinational and sequential design methods, the author uses a detailed case study of a simple processor design in the final two chapters. The text introduces readers to a wide range of software tools, including schematic capture, logic simulation and Boolean minimization, and demonstrates how they fit into the hardware design process. The author also encourages hands-on experimentation with software tools such as LogicWorks to bolster the reader's understanding of practical design methods.
