End of Millennium: The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture
Authors: Manuel Castells
Venue:  (1997)

:The final volume in Manuel Castells' trilogy is devoted to processes of global social change induced by interaction between networks and identity.He studies empirically the collapse of the Soviet Union, tracing it back to the incapacity of industrial statism to manage the transition to the Information Age. He shows the rise of inequality, polarization, and social exclusion throughout the world, focusing on Africa, on urban poverty, and on children's plight. He documents the formation of a global criminal economy that deeply affects economies and politics in many countries. He analyzes the political and cultural foundations of the emergence of the Asian Pacific as the most dynamic region in the global economy. And he reflects on the contradictions of European unfication, proposing the concept of the network state.In the general conclusion of the trilogy, included in this volume, Castells draws together the threads of his arguments and his findings, presenting a systematic interpretation of our world in this end of millennium.

SGML and XML document grammars and exceptions
Authors: Pekka Kilpeläinen, Derick Wood
Venue: Information and Computation (2001)

The Standard Generlized Markup Language (SGML) and the Extensible Markup Language (XML) allow users to define document-type definitions (DTDs), which are essentially extended context-free grammars expressed in a notation that is similar to extended Backus-Naur form. The right-hand side of a production, called a content model, is both an extended and a restricted regular expression. The semantics of content models for SGML DTDs can be modified by exceptions (XML does not allow exceptions). Inclusion exceptions allow named elements to appear anywhere within the content of a content model, and exclusion exceptions preclude named elements from appearing in the content of a content model. We give precise definitions of the semantics of exceptions, and prove that they do not increase the expressive power of SGML DTDs when we restrict DTDs according to accepted SGML practice. We prove the following results: 1. Exceptions do not increase the expressive power of extended context-free grammars. 2. For each DTD with exceptions, we can obtain a structurally equivalent extended context-free grammar. 3. For each DTD with exceptions, we can construct a structurally equivalent DTD when we restrict the DTD to adhere to accepted SGML practice. 4. Exceptions are a powerful shorthand notation---eliminating them may cause exponential growth in the size of an extended context-free grammar or of a DTD. Copyright 2001 Academic Press
The Florida Public Service Commission's motor carrier information system
Authors: Stephen P. Leach, Janet Craig
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

The Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC), in conjunction with the Florida State University Computing Center, has recently computerized the handling of information on motor carriers that are regulated through the Commission's Transportation Department. The authors feel that this system, the Motor Carrier Information System (MCIS), has successfully combined the advantages of several available data processing concepts to produce a very useful regulatory tool.Although the next section does provide a brief overall description of the MClS, this paper deals specifically with only one phase of the system, the handling of ICC Regulated Carriers. It should become clear that the techniques used within the MCIS readily lend themselves to any data processing application where data can be separated into two categories: (1) Identification information (fairly fixed in length) and (2) free format text (unlimited in length, with possible subdivisions).

Behavioral Pattern Analysis: towards a new representation of systems requirements based on actions and events
Authors: Assem El-Ansary
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Requirements are descriptions of the application domain, the problems to be solved there, and the system(s) to be built in that domain to solve these problems. Many projects have failed because their requirements were inadequately explored or described. Experience is beginning to show several problems with Use cases such as lack of a precise definition that led most companies to re-invent their own version, lack of notion of atomicity, and considering only the users interface.A new alternative modeling approach presented in this paper, Behavioral Pattern Analysis (BPA), is an Event-Oriented approach in which events are considered the primary entities of the world model. The appeal to events is natural. The creation of an Object is an Event. Should we not define the requirements of the model that we are building in terms of events? We believe that the system model should be Event Driven rather than Use Case Driven. Alter all, use comes after creation.If the analyst misinterpreted or neglected some structural or behavioral aspects, the resulting software system may not demonstrate the correct behavior or may ungracefully terminate. The end result might be the loss of opportunities in business systems, serious damages in embedded systems, or the loss of lives in a safety-critical system. The use of events in the BPA Approach provides cohesive integration between the static abstraction (classes) and the dynamic behavior. This integration may partially or totally eliminate the pre-mentioned problems. If the use of the BPA Approach in a safety-critical system may save one life, the significance of this approach is immeasurable.
Solvability of context equations with two context variable is decidable
Authors: Manfred Schmidt-Schauß, Klaus U. Schulz
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

Context unification is a natural variant of second-order unification that represents a generalization of word unification at the same time. While second-order unification is well known to be undecidable and word unification is decidable it is currently an open question if the solvability of context equations is decidable. We show that the solvability of systems of context equations with two context variables is decidable. The context variables may have an arbitrary number of occurrences, and the equations may also contain an arbitrary number of individual variables. The result holds under the assumption that the first-order background signature is finite. Copyright 2002 Academic Press
Recursive equations in higher-order process calculi
Authors: Mingsheng Ying, Martin Wirsing
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

Regarding behaviour equivalence in higher-order process calculi, Sangiorgi (Inform. and Comput. 131 (1996) 141) and Thomsen (Inform. and Comput. 116 (1995) 38) introduced context and higher-order bisimulations, respectively. In this paper, uniqueness of solutions of equations with respect to strong context and higher-order bisimilarities and compatibility of strong context and higher-order bisimilarities with recursive definitions are shown.

An adaptive-transmission protocol for frequency-hop wireless communication networks
Authors: John H. Gass,  Jr., Michael B. Pursley, Harlan B. Russell, Jeffrey S. Wysocarski
Venue: Wireless Networks (2001)

An energy-efficient adaptive-transmission protocol for mobile frequency-hop spread-spectrum wireless communication networks is described and evaluated. The purpose of the protocol is to permit each of the mobile terminals to adjust its transmitter power and code rate to match the characteristics of the time-varying communication links in the network. The proposed adaptive-transmission protocol bases its choice of transmission parameters on a very simple form of side information that is easy to obtain in a FH communication receiver. The performance of the adaptive-transmission protocol is evaluated for networks in which each communication link may have a time-varying propagation loss and intermittent partial-band interference. Our results demonstrate that the adaptive-transmission protocol can improve the utility of a link and reduce energy consumption by adjusting the transmission parameters in response to changes in the side information.

A common data management infrastructure for adaptive algorithms for PDE solutions
Authors: Manish Parashar, James C. Browne, Carter Edwards, Kenneth Klimkowski
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

This paper presents the design, development and application of a computational infrastructure to support the implementation of parallel adaptive algorithms for the solution of sets of partial differential equations. The infrastructure is separated into multiple layers of abstraction. This paper is primarily concerned with the two lowest layersof this infrastructure: a layer which defines and implements dynamic distributed arrays (DDA), and a layer in which several dynamic data and programming abstractions are implemented in terms of the DDAs. The currently implemented abstractions are those needed for formulation of hierarchical adaptive finite difference methods, hp-adaptive finite element methods, and fast multipole method for solution of linear systems. Implementation of sample applications based on each of these methods are described and implementation issues and performance measurements are presented.
Transhuman Condition: A Report on Machines, Technics and Evolution

Venue:  (1997)

:Evolution is seen to be entering a bio-technological phase. Nietzsche's affirmation that "man is something that must be overcome" no longer has a rhetorical ring given the means at our disposal at the end of the twentieth century. Viroid Life boldly challengesexisting explanations of these changes inherited from modernity, arguing that they have exhausted their usefulness and new models are needed to guide us in mapping through the future. Exploring and critically examining the new realities of artificial life that confront us, Viroid Life brings together the tradition of Nietszchean thought with new work in exploratory biology and machinic thinking. Offering insights from Darwin to Gilles Deleuze and Guy Debord and the Situationist movement, Pearson provides a brave starting point for any inquiry on the future of the "human". the human (New Nietzsche Studies)
Bridging the service gap with student employees: curse or blessing?
Authors: Carol Currie Sobczak, Jerilyn Prescott
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

Many of us must rely on student employees to staff our facilities. It takes a great deal of time, energy and imagination to train and manage student employees. We are often forced to accept whatever skill level they may have already attained (or not) and provide extensive on-the-job training. The objective of this panel is to share experiences and ideas on 'what worked and what didn't work' when employing student workers. This panel invites an open discussion on the following topics: Why do you or why don't you use student workers?Could your facility operate without them?Is there a budget for staffing non-work-study student positions?What positions do student workers hold?What qualifications do you expect/accept?How extensively do you train them?What form(s) of training do you utilize (classes, all day training, manuals, tests/quizzes, etc.)?How do you motivate student workers to continually expand their skills?How do you handle those who don't meet expectations?How do you retain the best workers?How do you: schedule shifts, fill out pay sheets, get substitutes?How do you track: missed shifts, performance, hours worked?What is the employment structure for students?What recruiting/hiring strategies do you utilize?.
Learning where to look: location learning in graphical user interfaces
Authors: Brian D. Ehret
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

A theoretical account is presented on how locations of interface objects are learned and how the mechanisms underlying location learning interact with the representativeness of object labels. The account is embodied in a computational cognitive model built within the ACT-R/PM cognitive architecture [1, 2] and is supported by point-of-gaze and performance data collected in empirical research. The model interacts with the same software under the same experimental task conditions as study participants and replicates both performance and the finer-grained point-of-gaze data. Drawing from the data and model, location learning is characterized as a process that occurs as a by-product of interaction such that, without specific intent to do so, users can gradually learn the locations of the interface objects to which they attend. Characteristics of the user interface shape this learning process, however, by constraining the set of possible strategies for interaction. Locations are learned more quickly when the least-effortful strategy available in the interface explicitly requires retrieval of location knowledge

A High-Bandwidth Memory Pipeline for Wide Issue Processors
Authors: Sangyeun Cho, Pen-Chung Yew, Gyungho Lee
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

Providing adequate data bandwidth is extremely important for a future wide-issue processor to achieve its full performance potential. Adding a large number of ports to a data cache, however, becomes increasingly inefficient and can add to the hardware complexity significantly. This paper takes an alternative or complementary approach for providing more data bandwidth, called data decoupling. This paper especially studies an interesting, yet less explored, behavior of memory access instructions, called access region locality, which is concerned with each static memory instruction and its range of access locations at runtime. Our experimental study using a set of SPEC95 benchmark programs shows that most memory access instructions reference a single region at runtime. Also shown is that it is possible to accurately predict the access region of a memory instruction at runtime by scrutinizing the addressing mode of the instruction and the past access history of it. We describe and evaluate a wide-issue superscalar processor with two distinct sets of memory pipelines and caches, driven by the access region predictor. Experimental results indicate that the proposed mechanism is very effective in providing high memory bandwidth to the processor, resulting in comparable or better performance than a conventional memory design with a heavily multiported data cache that can lead to much higher hardware complexity.
