DANA (Digital Archive Network for Anthropology): a model for digital archiving
Authors: Jeffrey T. Clark, Brian M. Slator, Aaron Bergstrom, Francis Larson, Richard Frovarp, James E. Landrum,  III, William Perrizo, William Jockheck
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This is a report of work on an internet-based digital library called the Digital Archive Network for Anthropology (DANA). DANA provides a model for a generalized method for implementing digital archives. This federation of databases will link researchers, students, and the general public to distributed databases that include realistic, accurate, three-dimensional (3D), visual representations of artifacts, fossils, and other objects, along with 2D digitized documents (e.g., maps, plan views, excavation profiles, and photographs) and various associated data. DANA will have a strong data mining component which will allow users to find relationships in the data which correspond to facts about the actual artifacts and fossils. The data mining techniques involve a new spatial data mining structure called the Ptree. DANA is being created through development and implementation of cross-platform, open standards that will facilitate interoperability and exchange of information between remote systems. DANA enables dynamic use of digital models, virtual measurement tools, and an array of data supplied by contributing content providers (collaborators) for education and scholarly research.
Cvs Pocket Reference
Authors: Gregor N. Purdy
Venue:  (2000)

:The beauty of open source is that it makes code freely available. The curse is that, without some method of organizing it, code development can devolve into chaos. CVS, the Concurrent Version System, is an open source tool for managing source code, designed to allow multiple users to work on the same file at the same time, using a shared directory. Under CVS, multiple users can check out files from a directory tree, make changes, and then commit those changes back into the directory. The CVS Pocket Reference is a quick reference guide to help administrators and users set up and manage source code development. This small book delivers the core concepts of version control along with a complete command reference and guide to configuration and repository set up. The book includes: A version control primer that teaches the general concepts of version control and how it applies to CVS. Instructions on how to install and configure CVS for Unix-like operating systems. Administrator and user sections, with complete listings of their respective commands and options for configuring and using CVS. Details on how to import files from RCS and SCCS directories into CVS. This Pocket Reference covers the latest version of CVS (1.10.8) and is the ultimate companion for open source developers.
Tangler: a censorship-resistant publishing system based on document entanglements
Authors: Marc Waldman, David Mazières
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Computer and Communications Security (2001)

We describe the design of a censorship-resistant system that employs a unique document storage mechanism. Newly published documents are dependent on the blocks of previously published documents. We call this dependency an entanglement. Entanglement makes replication of previously published content an intrinsic part of the publication process. Groups of files, called collections, can be published together and named in a host-independent manner. Individual documents within a collection can be securely updated in such a way that future readers of the collection see and tamper-check the updates. The system employs a self-policing network of servers designed to eject non-compliant servers and prevent them from doing more harm than good.
Jitter control in QoS networks
Authors: Yishay Mansour, Boaz Patt-Shamir
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

We study jitter control in networks with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) from the competitive analysis point of view: we propose on-line algorithms that control jitter and compare their performance to the best possible (by an off-line algorithm) for any given arrival sequence. For delay jitter, where the goal is to minimize the difference between delay times of different packets, we show that a simple on-line algorithm using a buffer of B slots guarantees the same delay jitter as the best off-line algorithm using buffer space B/2. We prove that the guarantees made by our on-line algorithm hold, even for simple distributed implementations, where the total buffer space is distributed along the path of the connection, provided that the input stream satisfies a certain simple property. For rate jitter, where the goal is to minimize the difference between inter-arrival times, we develop an on-line algorithm using a buffer of size 2B + h for any h &ge; 1, and compare its jitter to the jitter of an optimal off-line algorithm using buffer size B. We prove that our algorithm guarantees that the difference is bounded by a term proportional to B/h.

Concurrent zero-knowledge with timing, revisited
Authors: Oded Goldreich
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

Following Dwork, Naor, and Sahai (30th STOC, 1998), we consider concurrent execution of protocols in a semi-synchronized network. Specifically, we assume that each party holds a local clock such that a constant bound on the relative rates of these clocks is a-priori known, and consider protocols that employ time-driven operations (i.e., time-out in-coming messages and delay out-going messages).We show that the constant-round zero-knowledge proof for NP of Goldreich and Kahan (Jour. of Crypto., 1996) preserves its security when polynomially-many independent copies are executed concurrently under the above timing model.We stress that our main result establishes zero-knowledge of interactive proofs, whereas the results of Dwork et al are either for zero-knowledge arguments or for a weak notion of zero-knowledge (called &egr;-knowledge) proofs.Our analysis identifies two extreme schedulings of concurrent executions under the above timing model: the first is the case of parallel execution of polynomially-many copies, and the second is of concurrent execution of polynomially-many copies such the number of copies that are simultaneously active at any time is bounded by a constant (i.e., bounded simultaneity). Dealing with each of these extreme cases is of independent interest, and the general result (regarding concurrent executions under the timing model) is obtained by combining the two treatments.
Intermediate language for minicomputer cross-compilation
Authors: Joseph K. Speetjens
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

With the increasing use of minicomputers, the concept of cross-compilation (source program translated by one machine which in turn outputs object code for another machine) has become popular. This paper examines the use of an intermediate language, a concept long considered for full scale machines, as a tool to reduce duplication of effort and encourage communication between cross-compiler writers. This paper examines past attempts for intermediate languages, reviews the special requirements that minicomputers may have, and makes suggestions for a universal minicomputer oriented language.
On the constancy of internet path properties
Authors: Yin Zhang, Nick Duffield
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement (2001)

Many Internet protocols and operational procedures use measurements to guide future actions. This is an effective strategy if the quantities being measured exhibit a degree of constancy: that is, in some fundamental sense, they are not changing. In this paper we explore three different notions of constancy: mathematical, operational, and predictive. Using a large measurement dataset gathered from the NIMI infrastructure, we then apply these notions to three Internet path properties: loss, delay, and throughput. Our aim is to provide guidance as to when assumptions of various forms of constancy are sound, versus when they might prove misleading.

Modeling orbiting and rotating bodies using VRML
Authors: H. Albert Lilly
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) can be used to model bodies in motion. The model might be used, for example, to illustrate a solar system. A body may be rotating on its axis, the axis may be tilting with the seasons, and the body may have a satellite to form a system. A system, e.g., a body and its satellite, may then be rotating around a sun according to an elliptical orbit. The elliptical orbits for satellites and systems alike can be calculated easily using a spreadsheet.This paper will take the reader through the steps to show orbiting, rotating, and tilting bodies including how to create the objects, visually show the paths of the orbits, and set the time length for rotations, tilting of axes, and orbits for bodies. In addition, an explanation is given on how to create satellites of orbiting bodies and run the whole system continuously. The procedure for examining the model from various distances and angles during the animation is dependent on the VRML plug-in being used. Methods for creating the x, y and z coordinates of orbits using trigonometric functions and the timing for placement of objects are also explained.

Approximate counting of inversions in a data stream
Authors: Miklós Ajtai, T. S. Jayram, Ravi Kumar, D. Sivakumar
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) Inversions are used as a fundamental quantity to measure the sortedness of data, to evaluate different ranking methods for databases, and in the context of rank aggregation. Considering the volume of the data sets in these applications, the data stream model {14, 2] is a natural setting to design efficient algorithms.We obtain a suite of space-efficient streaming algorithms for approximating the number of inversions in a permutation. The best space bound we achieve is $O(\log n \log \log n)$ through a deterministic algorithm. In contrast, we derive an $\Omega(n)$ lower bound for randomized exact computation for this problem; thus approximation is essential.(MATH) We also consider two generalizations of this problem: (1) approximating the number of inversions between two permutations, for which we obtain a randomized $O(\sqrt{n} \log n)$-space algorithm, and (2) approximating the number of inversions in a general list, for which we obtain a randomized $O(\sqrt{n} \log^2 n)$-space two-pass algorithm. In contrast, we derive $\Omega(n)$-space lower bounds for deterministic approximate computation for these problems; thus both randomization and approximation are essential.All our algorithms use only O(log n) time per data item.
