RPC-level support for object-oriented distributed programming
Authors: Anand Tripathi, Terence Noonan
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

In this paper we describe the design of an RPC system for building object-oriented distributed software systems. The general requirements for such a system is to provide mechanisms for supporting use of inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding, and modular development in implementing distributed software systems. We briefly outline here the functionalities of this RPC system to support these general requirements.

Workflow Strategies, 1st edition
Authors: James G. Kobielus
Venue:  (1997)

:While "workflow management" may sound abstract, it's at the heart of intranet and corporate enterprise network development. Fast Ethernet, FireWire, Windows NT, IntranetWare -- all these things can only be part of streamlining and enhancing how organizations of people work together. Indeed, they count for nothing if an efficient workflow management system isn't in place. In Workflow Strategies, Network World contributing editor and recognized authority on strategic telecommunications and information systems James Kobielus offers an understandable, practical examination of the critical issues confronting organizations as they reengineer their technological infrastructure to take advantage of cutting-edge computing, networking, and telecommunications advances. More importantly, Kobielus provides real-world guidance on implementing workflow management strategies so that the productivity and efficiency of employees increases right along with customer and client satisfaction -- which of course is what it's all about. In Kobielus' own words, This book illustrates the technical backbone behind the often fuzzy concept of business-process reengineering. It shows the average business reader how to start from a small-scale workflow pilot and scale up as appropriate to a complex, enterprise-wide information routing and tracking system. The focus is always on the bottom line: illustrating how workflow applications can help you increase the speed, flexibility, and efficiency of your business processes. Aimed not only at information systems and telecommunications professionals but also atbusiness professionals responsible for business-process reengineering, Workflow Strategies is the most complete workflow guide available today.

Annotations for distributed programming in logic
Authors: Raghu Ramakrishnan, Abraham Silberschatz
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1986)

It has been recognised that languages like Concurrent Prolog and Parlog which use committed choice non-determinism have departed from the original concept of logic programming, but no new paradigm has been suggested. In this paper we propose that programs in such languages be viewed as rewrite rules that hierarchically decompose a process into a network of distributed processes. Logical variables and unification provide a powerful means of communication, and annotations can provide a synchronization mechanism that complements them.
Models of Sharing Graphs: A Categorical Semantics of Let and Letrec
Authors: Masahito Hasegawa
Venue:  (1999)

:Models of Sharing Graphs presents a sound mathematical basis for reasoning about models of computation involving shared resources, including graph rewriting systems, denotational semantics and concurrency theory. An algebraic approach, based on the language of category theory, is taken throughout this work, which enables the author to describe several aspects of the notion of sharing in a systematic way. In particular, a novel account of recursive computation created from cyclic sharing is developed using this framework.

Mechanical Mind: A Philosophical Introduction to Minds, Machines and Mental Representation
Authors: Tim Crane
Venue:  (1996)

:How can the human mind represent the world? How can thoughts direct themselves upon the world? Can there be a science of the mind? Should the mind be thought of as a type of machine? In particular, is the mind a computer of any kind? These questions are among the most intensely debated within contemporary philosophy of mind and psychology. Until now they have been the province of the specialist. But The Mechanical Mind is the first book to introduce these debates to the general reader in a straightforward, non-technical way. Tim Crane argues that all these philosophical problems arise because we have to accept a naturalistic, causal view of the mind: the view that states of mind are like other natural phenomena, causing and affecting things in the physical world. In a lucid and illuminating survey of the theories and arguments surrounding the ideas of thought and representation, Crane claims that this picture of the mind as a natural causal mechanism can be defended against its critics. Rigorous yet entertaining, this unique book offers both specialist and non-specialist alike a fascinating exploration of the theories of mind and thought debated in recent philosophy. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to understand how the human mind works. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

A dynamic address computation mechanism for use in database management
Authors: Thomas J. Cook
Venue: Proceedings of the 1978 ACM SIGMOD international conference on management of data (1978)

A dynamic address computation mechanism for use in database management is presented. The address computation technique allows information structured according to a given pre-defined tree to be stored without any address pointers, yet the populated tree is assumed to have an arbitrary number of branches below non-terminating tree nodes, and have arbitrary length information stored at the tree leaves. The address computation is accomplished using a compact (yet complete) address-free description of the populated tree structure. Utilization of this description allows information at any level of the tree to be directly accessed. The address computation provides the basis for an "intermediate" database architecture which embodies many of the advantages of both associative architectures and classical Von Neumann architectures.
Winners and Losers of the Information Revolution: Psychosocial Change and Its Discontents
Authors: Bernard Carl Rosen
Venue:  (1998)

:The second great transformation of our society in the modern era has demoted manufacturing to a position that is secondary to the service industries, thus originating today's information society. This volume examines how massive social change over the past few decades has created a new set of winners and losers and what this has done to society. The author rejects the orthodox explanations for the losers' plight--such as job stagnation, income inequality, and an increase in crime and violence--and argues that the main causes of success or failure in today's society are psychosocial. While today's losers lack the character structure and values that would help them adjust to change, the winners--the Chameleons--have acquired a character structure symmetrical with the needs of the new society.
Modular Learning in Neural Networks: A Modularized Approach to Neural Network Classification, 1st edition
Authors: Tomas Hrycej
Venue:  (1992)

:This important new work recognizes the advanced nature of today's artificial neural networks, uniquely emphasizing a modular approach to neural network learning. By breaking down the learning task into relatively independent parts of lower complexity, Modular Learning in Neural Networks demonstrates how neural network learning can be made more powerful and efficient. The book's modular approach, unlike the monolithic viewpoint, admits intermediary solution stages whose success can be independently verified, as in other engineering fields. Each stage can be evaluated before moving on to the subsequent one, and the reason for possible failures can be analyzed, ultimately leading to the improved development and engineering of applications. The modular approach also takes into account growing network complexity, reducing the difficulty of such inevitable problems as scaling and convergence. Modular Learning in Neural Networks' modular approach is also fully in step with important psychological and neurobiological research. Studies in developmental psychology demonstrate the incremental nature of human learning, in which the success of each stage is conditioned by the successful accomplishment of the previous stage, while neurobiology has depicted the human brain as a complex structure of cooperating modules. Modular Learning in Neural Networks covers the full range of conceivable approaches to the modularization of learning, including decomposition of learning into modules using supervised and unsupervised learning types; decomposition of the function to be mapped into linear and nonlinear parts; decomposition of the neural network to minimize harmful interferences between a large number of network parameters during learning; decomposition of the application task into subtasks that are learned separately; decomposition into a knowledge-based part and a learning part. The book attempts to show that modular learning based on these approaches is helpful in improving t

An ordering of secondary task display attributes
Authors: David Tessendorf, C. M. Chewar, Ali Ndiwalana, Jon Pryor, D. Scott McCrickard, Chris North
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

We found that established display design guidelines for focal images cannot be extended to images displayed as a secondary task in a dual-task situation. This paper describes an experiment that determines a new ordering guideline for secondary task image attributes according to human cognitive ability to extract information. The imperative for alternate guidelines is based on the difference in an image's ability to convey meaning, which decreases when moved from a focal to a secondary task situation. Secondary task attribute ordering varies with the level of degradation in the primary task.
Using symbolic execution for verifying safety-critical systems
Authors: Alberto Coen-Porisini, Giovanni Denaro, Carlo Ghezzi, Mauro Pezzé
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

Safety critical systems require to be highly reliable and thus special care is taken when verifying them in order to increase the confidence in their behavior. This paper addresses the problem of formal verification of safety critical systems by providing empirical evidence of the practical applicability of symbolic execution and of its usefulness for checking safety-related properties. In this paper, symbolic execution is used for building an operational model of the software on which safety properties, expressed by means of a Path Description Language (PDL), can be assessed.
