The New Security Paradigms Workshop - boom or bust?: a panel
Authors: Steven J. Greenwald
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 workshop on New security paradigms (2001)

Has anything actually been accomplished by the New Security Paradigms Workshop since its inception in 1992? If so, what? This, in a nutshell, was the basis of our panel. We had three high-profile NSPW groupies as panelists: our illustrious founder Hilary Hosmer who gave a passionate ponderment of the past 8 years, a perspective from Mary Ellen Zurko who entered NSPW during the middle of its current lifetime (1996) and has authored many reviews of NSPW for CIPHER, and some punishing comments by Marv Schaefer. I also entered the NSPW community in 1996, and was the panel chair in what was a very interactive panel. We had a view from the early days and a view from the more mature days of the ten year old New Security Paradigms Workshop.What did we find out? Were the past years of NSPW wasted? Or did they result in some of the best ideas to hit the information security field? Or something in between?In either case, where should we go from here?The format of the panel was simple. Each panelist gave a brief presentation with the workshop participating in its usual collegial style, with the panel chair to keep things on track.After the workshop, the original panel charge was revised to reflect and add the comments of the workshop attendees.

A study of automatic migration of programs across the Java event models
Authors: Bharath M Kumar, R. Lakshminarayanan, Y. N. Srikant
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2000)

Evolution of a framework forces a change in the design of an application, which is based on the framework. The same is the case when the Java event model changed from the Inheritance model to the Event Delegation model. We summarize our experiences when attempting an automatic and elegant migration across the event models. Further, we also necessitate the need for extra documentation in patterns that will help programs evolve better.

Multimedia Execution Hardware Accelerator
Authors: Edwin Hakkennes, Stamatis Vassiliadis
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2001)

In this paper we show that some expressions frequently used in multimedia applications can be formulated as a general add-multiply-add operation. We further show a hardwired implementation of the Add-Multiply-Add instruction which is no more complex than the multiplier implementation. Furthermore we show that two frequently motion estimation operations, the Sum and Mean of Absolute Differences, can be implemented in hardware requiring also approximately the same cycle time as the multiplication. We also show that our approach can be extended easily to provide the computation of the Sum and Mean of Absolute Difference of a 16&times;16 pixel block in no more than four machine cycles. Additionally we propose a codec hardwired mechanism for the Paeth predictor used in the Portable Network Standard (PNG) that requires at most two general purpose ALU cycles. We extend the paeth unit to include the median, maximum and minimum operations on three inputs with no additional cycle time and we also extend the Add-Multiply-Add unit to include the mean of three numbers. Finally we propose a multimedia hardware accelerator to accommodate all the proposed operations. The proposed unit is an extension of the multiply pipeline with ALU extensions with no extra stages added. The unit operates on 32 instructions in total.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of group screening methods as compared to no group screening
Authors: Dima Nazzal, Mansooreh Mollaghasemi, Linda Malone
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The focus of the paper is on the comparison of results obtained using group screening versus not using group screening in an experimental design methodology applied to a semiconductor manufacturing simulation model. The experiments were performed on the cycle time for the main product in the fab, which takes about 250 steps before completion. High utilization and large queue sizes were the basis for determining the five most critical workstations in the fab. Three parameters for each workstation were set as factors for investigation plus another more general important factor making a total of 16 input factors. A 2-stage group-screening experiment and a 2k-p factional factorial were performed to identify the significant factors affecting the cycle time for the product. The results showed that the two methods could be very similar or very different depending on the choice of significance level for group screening, particularly at the early stages of eliminating group-factors.

Realistic image synthesis using photon mapping
Authors: Henrik Wann Jensen
Venue:  (2001)

The creation of realistic three-dimensional images is central to computer graphics. Photon mapping, an extension of ray tracing, makes it possible to efficiently simulate global illumination in complex scenes. Photon mapping can simulate caustics (focused light, such as shimmering waves at the bottom of a swimming pool), diffuse inter-reflections (e.g., the bleeding of colored lighted from a red wall onto a white floor, giving the floor a reddish tint), and participating media (e.g., clouds or smoke). This book is a practical guide to photon mapping; it provides both the theory and the practical insight necessary to implement photon mapping and simulate all types of direct and indirect illumination efficiently.

The evolution of Coda
Authors: M. Satyanarayanan
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS) (2002)

Failure-resilient, scalable, and secure read-write access to shared information by mobile and static users over wireless and wired networks is a fundamental computing challenge. In this article, we describe how the Coda file system has evolved to meet this challenge through the development of mechanisms for server replication, disconnected operation, adaptive use of weak connectivity, isolation-only transactions, translucent caching, and opportunistic exploitation of hardware surrogates. For each mechanism, the article explains how usage experience with it led to the insights for another mechanism. It also shows how Coda has been influenced by the work of other researchers and by industry. The article closes with a discussion of the technical and nontechnical lessons that can be learned from the evolution of the system.
Valuation, hedging and speculaton in competitive electricity markets: a fundamental approach
Authors: Petter L. Skantze, Marija D. Ilic
Venue: The Kluwer International Series In Engineering And Computer Science (2001)

Valuation, Hedging and Speculation in competitive electricity markets: a Fundamental Approach, examines the unique properties which separate electricity from other traded commodities, including the lack of economical storage, and the impact of a scarce transmission network. The authors trace the sources of uncertainties in the price of electricity of underlying physical and economic processes, and incorporate these into a bid-based model for electricity spot and forward prices. They also illustrate how insufficient market data can be circumvented by using a combination of price and load data in the marking-to-market process.

Component technologies: Java Beans, COM, CORBA, RMI, EJB and the CORBA Component Model
Authors: Wolfgang Emmerich, Nima Kaveh
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th European software engineering conference held jointly with 9th ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2001)

This one-day tutorial is aimed at software engineering practitioners and researchers, who are familiar with object-oriented analysis, design and programming and want to obtain an overview of the technologies that are enabling component-based development. We introduce the idea of component-based development by defining the concept and providing its economic rationale. We describe how object-oriented programming evolved into local component models, such as Java Beans and distributed object technologies, such as the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and the Component Object Model (COM). We then address how these technologies matured into distributed component models, in particular Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and the CORBA Component Model (CCM). We give an assessment of the maturity of each of these technologies and sketch how they are used to build distributed architectures.

Class-is-type is inadequate for object reuse
Authors: Sheng Yu
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2001)

It is well known that class and type are two different concepts in object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs). However, in many popular OOPLs, classes are used as types. In this paper, we argue that the class-is-type principle is a major obstacle to software reuse, especially to object reuse. The concepts of the basic entities, i.e., objects, object classes, object types, and object kinds, in the type hierarchy of OOPLs are revisited. The notion of object reuse is defined and elaborated. In addition, we show that parameterized types and generic functions are better served by used kind-bounded quantification than universal quantification and other mechanisms.
