Transparent logging as a technique for debugging complex distributed systems
Authors: M. Satyanarayanan, David C. Steere, Masashi Kudo, Hank Mashburn
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

As any battle-scarred veteran will testify, debugging a distributed system in production use is an enterprise fraught with great difficulty and frustration. By the time the system is released for production use, most of the easy bugs have been found and fixed. The remaining bugs are typically non-deterministic in nature, and will only manifest themselves under conditions of heavy use. Although rare, such bugs cannot be ignored because they often have serious consequences.In this position paper, we put forth the thesis that logging is a flexible, powerful, and convenient tool for debugging complex distributed systems. We substantiate this thesis in three steps. First, we argue that logging is particularly well suited for debugging distributed systems. Next, we observe that logging is already used in distributed systems for reasons independent of debugging. Finally, we show that the latter uses of logging can be transparently extended to support debugging.

Narrative as Virtual Reality: Immersion and Interactivity in Literature and Electronic Media
Authors: Marie-Laure Ryan
Venue:  (2000)

:Is there a significant difference in attitude between immersion in a game and immersion in a movie or novel? What are the new possibilities for representation offered by the emerging technology of virtual reality? As Marie-Laure Ryan demonstrates in Narrative as Virtual Reality, the questions raised by new, interactive technologies have their precursors and echoes in pre-electronic literary and artistic traditions. Formerly a culture of immersive idealsgetting lost in a good book, for examplewe are becoming, Ryan claims, a culture more concerned with interactivity. Approaching the idea of virtual reality as a metaphor for total art, Narrative as Virtual Reality applies the concepts of immersion and interactivity to develop a phenomenology of reading. Ryan's analysis encompasses both traditional literary narratives and the new textual genres made possible by the electronic revolution of the past few years, such as hypertext, electronic poetry, interactive movies and drama, digital installation art, and computer role-playing games. Interspersed among the book's chapters are several "interludes" that focus exclusively on either key literary texts that foreshadow what we now call "virtual reality," including those of Baudelaire, Huysmans, Ignatius de Loyola, Calvino, and science-fiction author Neal Stephenson, or recent efforts to produce interactive art forms, like the hypertext "novel" Twelve Blue, by Michael Joyce, and I'm Your Man, an interactive movie. As Ryan considers the fate of traditional narrative patterns in digital culture, she revisits one of the central issues in modern literary theorythe opposition between a presumably passive reading that is taken over by the world a text represents and an active, deconstructive reading that imaginatively participates in the text's creation. About the Author: Marie-Laure Ryan is an independent scholar and former software consultant. She is the author of Possible Worlds, Artificial Intelligence, and Narrative Theory and the editor of Cyberspace Textuality: Computer Technology and Literary Theory.

The Visualization Quest: A History of Computer Animation
Authors: Valliere Richard Auzenne
Venue:  (1994)

:The Visualization Quest is a history of computer animation that defines the types and uses of computer animation and traces the developments of this new communication field. This volume provides a unique look into the key individuals and issues that influenced and shaped the direction of this medium through the extensive use of personal interviews with pioneers and leaders in the field. Animation, the apparent creation of movement of inanimate objects on film, has the ability to convey efficaciously statements, ideas, theories, and emotions. Computer animation, the newest genre in this field, continues in this tradition of communication: it is widely used to illustrate formulas and molecule structures, to advertise products, to instruct, to make social statements, and to entertain. Computer animation has become a vital tool in many areas, including the medical sciences, the physical sciences, the biological sciences, mathematics, and art. It is used to aid in the visualization of mathematical concepts and weather patterns, as well as offering surgical teams visual illustrations for selected procedures. The ability to communicate through computer animation is the result of the rare symbiotic relationship between science and art that exists in this medium. The mutual dependence bonds the creative abilities of two disciplines, whose epistemology is rooted in opposing camps. In order to discern the function this cooperative has had in the development of computer animation, it is necessary to understand how this medium developed, why it advanced this way and who was involved in its development. The profiles included in The Visualization Quest outline the foundation of computer animation and provide insight into the projects that affected its development and growth and that defined the direction of this powerful medium.

Sub-protocol-evaluators for attribute grammars
Authors: Rodney Farrow
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (1984)

This paper presents a new strategy for evaluating attribute grammars, sub-protocol attribute evaluation, and gives an algorithm for constructing sub-protocol-evaluators. Sub-protocol-evaluators can be built for any non-circular attribute grammar; this paper describes how to construct them for absolutely noncircular grammars [4]. Sub-protocol-evaluators are most easily understood as a simple optimization of another evaluator we call the protocol-evaluator. The protocol-evaluator has elements in common with the tree-walk evaluator of Kennedy-Warren [4] and with Nielson's direct evaluator [6]; it can be viewed as a refinement of each of these. Furthermore, the uniform AGs, proposed by Warren [9], and the ordered AGs, proposed by Kastens [3], are both subclasses of grammars for which especially efficient protocol-evaluators can be built.
Trellixweb Web Site Creation Kit with Cdrom
Authors: Corbin Collins
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:ForewordOver the years I've created a lot of Web sites: some of them to share information about topics that interest me, others to share pictures from weddings and vacations. I've even kept a public online journal of events in my professional life, with over 200 entries so far (www.bricklin.com/log). By now I've created hundreds of Web pages, using various versions of Trellix Web, the software from the company I founded in 1995, Trellix Corporation. Trellix Web was designed for creating Web sites that allow you to express yourself without learning the intricacies of HTML (the language Web browsers understand). For example, I can come home from attending a wedding and have a multi-page Web site completed to share what I experienced, with dozens of pictures from a digital camera cropped and captioned, all before I go to sleep that night.Trellix Web is easy to use. I know many people-who would not consider themselves computer experts-who sing its praises after just a few hours of use. But from my experiences with Trellix Web, I know that if you go a little further and master more of its features, you'll find that you have even more control over expressing yourself exactly as you wish. Like learning to drive instead of taking a taxi, the extra effort to learn pays great dividends in freedom.Corbin Collins has put together an engaging book full of examples and how-to instructions to help you become a "Trellix Web expert." You'll feel a sense of control over expressing yourself on the Web that you might have thought you could only get in printing to paper. Now it's your turn...all of us at Trellix are looking forward to seeing yoursite(s)!Dan BricklinFounder and Chief Technology OfficerTrellix CorporationConcord, Massachusetts

Axioms for real-time logics
Authors: P. -Y. Schobbens, J. -F. Raskin, T. A. Henzinger
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This paper presents a complete axiomatization of two decidable propositional real-time linear temporal logics: Event Clock Logic (EventClockTL) and Metric Interval Temporal Logic with past (MetricIntervalTL). The completeness proof consists of an effective proof building procedure for EventClockTL. From this result we obtain a complete axiomatization of MetricIntervalTL by providing axioms translating MetricIntervalTL formulae into EventClockTL formulae, the two logics being equally expressive. Our proof is structured to yield axiomatizations also for interesting fragments of these logics, such as the linear temporal logic of the real numbers (TLR).

A generic solution for hardware-accelerated remote visualization
Authors: Simon Stegmaier, Marcelo Magallón, Thomas Ertl
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

This paper presents a generic solution for hardware-accelerated remote visualization that works transparently for all OpenGL-based applications and OpenGL-based scene graphs. Universality is achieved by taking advantage of dynamic linking, efficient data transfer by means of VNC. The proposed solution does not require any modifications of existing applications and allows for remote visualization with different hardware architectures involved in the visualization process. The library's performance is evaluated using standard OpenGL example programs and by volume rendering substantial data sets.
