Intelligent agents: Theory and practice

by Michael Wooldridge, Nicholas R. Jennings - The Knowledge Engineering Review , 1995
"... The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent age ..."

Practical network support for IP traceback

by Stefan Savage, David Wetherall, Anna Karlin, Tom Anderson , 2000
"... This paper describes a technique for tracing anonymous packet flooding attacks in the Internet back towards their source. This work is motivated by the increased frequency and sophistication of denial-of-service attacks and by the difficulty in tracing packets with incorrect, or “spoofed”, source ad ..."

). Moreover, this traceback can be performed “post-mortem ” – after an attack has completed. We present an implementation of this technology that is incrementally deployable, (mostly) backwards compatible and can be efficiently implemented using conventional technology. 1.

Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor Experience

by Douglas Thain, Todd Tannenbaum, Miron Livny , 2005
"... Since 1984, the Condor project has enabled ordinary users to do extraordinary computing. Today, the project continues to explore the social and technical problems of cooperative computing on scales ranging from the desktop to the world-wide computational Grid. In this paper, we provide the history a ..."

and philosophy of the Condor project and describe how it has interacted with other projects and evolved along with the field of distributed computing. We outline the core components of the Condor system and describe how the technology of computing must correspond to social structures. Throughout, we reflect

Determinants of perceived ease of use Integrating Control, Intrinsic Motivation, and Emotion into the Technology Acceptance Model.

by Viswanath Venkatesh - Information Systems Research , 2000
"... M uch previous research has established that perceived ease of use is an important factor influencing user acceptance and usage behavior of information technologies. However, very little research has been conducted to understand how that perception forms and changes over time. The current work pres ..."

Linked Data -- The story so far

by Christian Bizer, et al.
"... The term Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. These best practices have been adopted by an increasing number of data providers over the last three years, leading to the creation of a global data space containing billions of assertion ..."

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code

by Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke, Don Roberts , 1999
"... As the application of object technology--particularly the Java programming language--has become commonplace, a new problem has emerged to confront the software development community. Significant numbers of poorly designed programs have been created by less-experienced developers, resulting in applic ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1898 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
. In Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Software, renowned object technology mentor Martin Fowler breaks new ground, demystifying these master practices and demonstrating how software practitioners can realize the significant benefits of this new process

Induction of Decision Trees

by J. R. Quinlan - MACH. LEARN , 1986
"... The technology for building knowledge-based systems by inductive inference from examples has been demonstrated successfully in several practical applications. This paper summarizes an approach to synthesizing decision trees that has been used in a variety of systems, and it describes one such syste ..."

A Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design

by Shyam R. Chidamber , Chris F. Kemerer , 1994
"... Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to softwa ..."

new technology for which established practices have yet to be developed. This research addresses these needs through the development and implementation of a new suite of metrics for 00 design. Metrics developed in previous research, while con-tributing to the field’s understanding of software

Ptolemy: A Framework for Simulating and Prototyping Heterogeneous Systems

by Joseph Buck, Soonhoi Ha, Edward A. Lee, David G. Messerschmitt , 1992
"... Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects of design ..."
