Networld!: What People Are Really Doing on the Internet, and What It Means to You
Authors: David H. Rothman
Venue:  (1998)

:The Net is revolutionizing the way millions of people work, learn, fall in love, create art, do business, share news, make friends, and entertain themselves. In NetWorld!, David H. Rothman explores this new electronic meeting place, as well as the cotroversy that threatens itthe epic struggle between Netfolk and those who would crush freedom and privacy online. Here Rothman gives a complete rundown of what's at stake, and tells the story of Washington's Orwellian treatment of Phil Zimmermann, the programmer who popularized a spy-resistant way to transmit e-mail.NetWorld! isn't about bits and bytes, its about people and what happens when they come together online. Inside you'll discover:The Anglican priest who uses encryption to safeguard confessions he receives in cyberspaceBob and JoAnn Lilienfeld, the husband and wife team who started an electronic toystore called White Rabbit ToysThe handsome young Australian who got engaged to the Kansas City college student he met onlineNova Scotia teens who are using the Internet to improve their reading and writing skillsRob Lord and Jeff Patterson, who are giving big record companies a run for their money with their Internet Underground Music Archive, where the hottest new bands share their music with fans around the worldDave Harmon, who started Walkers in Darkness, an electronic self-help group for people suffering from depressionAn engaging, up-to-the-minute portrait of a landmark innovation, NetWorld! is as relevant to Netheads who log on everyday as it is to people who hate computers.About the AuthorDavid H. Rothman has writtenmore than half a dozen books about people and high technology, including The Silicon Jungle, The Complete Laptop Computer Guide, and The Electronic Activist: How to Speak Out and Organize on the Internet. The Washington Post has praised him for "sprightly, thorough reporting on a fast-changing industry," and the New York Times and Library Journal have described his style as "entertaining."

Long computations
Authors: Hugh C. Lauer
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Autonomy or interdependence in distributed systems? (1988)

As a result of the evolution of the notion of distributed computing over the past decade or so, we have learned to deal with computations which are distributed spatially---i.e., computations in which&bull; the data and/or program are scattered across physically separated parts, machines, or environments,&bull; the communication channels between the parts are substantially slower in both bandwidth and latency than the communication within any part, and&bull; the parts and their connecting channels have independent failure characteristics and (often) independent administrations, such that no one of them may cause a complete failure of the system.In this paper, I would like to introduce another form of distributed computation, a temporal form which I call a long computation. A long computation is one which is not computationally intensive but which nevertheless takes a very long time to complete. It spends most of its time waiting between successive calls to its procedures and relatively little time executing those procedures. These waiting periods are typically longer than the mean time to shutdown or reset of the machines or systems on which it executes. Thus the long computation must be supported by suitable mechanisms to enable it to survive such occurrences.The concept provides a framework in which to discuss, analyze, and design solutions for a class of interesting problems, particularly in the (spatially) distributed environment. This paper will briefly explore these areas; but first it is appropriate to illustrate the notion with an example.

SpiraClock: a continuous and non-intrusive display for upcoming events
Authors: Pierre Dragicevic, Stéphane Huot
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

In this paper, we present SpiraClock, a new visualization technique for nearby events. SpiraClock fills a gap between static calendar displays and pop-up reminders by giving the user a continuous and non-intrusive feedback on nearby events. Events are displayed inside an analog clock that can be used as a regular computer clock. We used SpiraClock for displaying bus schedules, and collected user feedback.
DDS Programming for Display and Printer Files
Authors: James Coolbaugh
Venue:  (1995)

From the Book:Introduction Among the many things to learn about the AS/400 is Data Description Specifications (DDS). DDS, used to describe data, is a programming language unique to the AS/400 and System/38. When you write DDS source code, you name records and fields within the records, as well as assign properties or attributes to the records and fields. Compiling DDS source results in the creation of a file object (object type *FILE on the AS/400). With DDS, an AS/400 programmer can create physical, logical, display, printer, and ICF files. Although using DDS to create physical and logical files is relatively simple, the same cannot be said when it comes to creating display and printer files. Without a solid mastery of DDS, you cannot create sophisticated displays for your interactive programs; they will look kludgy and uneven. DDS Programming for Display & Printer Files, Second Edition will help you master DDS and thus improve the quality of your display presentations. To get you started, in this introduction will provide a brief overview of DDS: why DDS exists, what it does, and how it's coded. The rest of the book is divided into two sections. The first section describes how to use DDS to create display files; the second section does the same for printer files. The chapters in both sections provide DDS coding examples that, when applicable, are tied to RPG or CL programs. The appendices provide summary descriptions of DDS keywords, grouping and sequencing them in different ways for easy reference. We also include a description of the commands used to create display and printer files. This book is not intended to replace IBM's DDS Reference (SC41-9620), Guide to Programming for Printing (SC41-8194), or Guide to Programming for Displays (SC41-0011). But this book does attempt to pull together all the relevant information in one source. The one thing the book does not do is try to cover subfiles from every conceivable angle. To do so would have meant doubling the book's size. We hope that our explanation of DDS keywords associated with subfiles, and the accompanying coding examples, will give you the foundation necessary to grasp subfile concepts. This second edition covers all DDS keywords through V4R3 of the operating system. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Mobile commerce for financial services---killer applications or dead end?
Authors: Michael Semrau, Achim Kraiss
Venue: ACM SIGGROUP Bulletin (2001)

Since mobile commerce (m-commerce) started to be intensively discussed in the press, financial service companies are said to be the winners of m-commerce. But looking at existing m-commerce applications, you will find really interesting information only on few sites. In addition, there are many of these applications, which are just in a prototype state and not yet available to the customers. Based on the lessons we have learned from building prototype and productive m-commerce applications, the following paper briefly discusses some of the problems to be solved by corporations that want to use emerging innovative mobile technologies, such as the Wireless application Protocol (WAP). In particular, we address issues regarding application design and development, security, and infrastructure.

Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

A fully integrated modeling and analysis toolkit, which facilitates multi-perspective knowledge capturing, sharing and reusing, is necessary for today's enterprises to meet the challenges of the ever more competitive global marketplace. In this paper we present a suite of software tools, designed and developed by Knowledge Based Systems, Inc., that can generate integrated solutions to complicated enterprise analysis including business process reengineering, activity based costing, and training. We start by providing a high level conceptual framework in which the individual tools with their roles and interrelations are presented. We then introduce each tool that make up the enterprise modeling and analysis toolkit in detail. The tutorial focuses on the ease and the user friendliness of (1) capturing domain knowledge into interchangeable multi-perspective models, (2) automatically generating and executing stochastic and deterministic analysis models from these multi-perspective models, and (3) publishing enterprise modeling and analysis results on the web.

Professional NT Service Programming
Authors: Kevin Miller
Venue:  (1998)

:What is the Subject Area?Services are applications that run on Windows NT that are tightly integrated with the operating system. An example of an NT Service might be a network fax application that all networked users can use. This book is about both designing and writing services for NT Server with C++. There is a need for a standard approach - or usage pattern - for programming NT services. The reality with NT is that service writers must ensure they have at least a minimum understanding of the NT security system, the way in which NT manages memory and files and how NT threads processes. The real world of designing and writing a service actually involves a lot more. Therefore, the full spectrum of how a professional should design his service, then code and implement it, is covered right through to COM hosting.What's Great About this Book? A comprehensive guide to design and development of professional services Develops a set of C++ classes for easier, efficient service creation Covers Registration, Security, Debugging, and Administration Services using MSMQ and COM with ATL covered in depth Existing books do not cover COM-based services Uses proven Wrox Professional format sharing practical techniques used by working programmers Who is this Book for?C/C++ Windows Programmers with basic knowledge of multithreading who need to write server applications that perform user-independent tasks. Client-server developers who want to include services as part of a multi-tiered system: with IIS or, as a business broker or, as a supplementary to be used by 'lighter' weight client development such as Visual Basic. Win32 developers who have basic COM & DCOM knowledge and want the service to serve up COM objects. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.
