  • Wakefield 2006 RISC OS Computer Show
    I would like to welcome you all to this, our eleventh annual show in Wakefield. There have been many ups and downs over the last eleven years, since the first show at Cedar Court, organised in thirteen weeks, which ended up taking over the entire hotel. Ever since then, we have been at our current venue of Thornes Park. Over the years we have had many interesting attractions and features, such as the guest appearance by Johnny Ball one year. Of course, the show has seen many new hardware and software launches and previews over the years, some more successful then others: Kinetic, Peanut, Phoebe, StrongARM, Vantage, RiScript and so on. In fact, this year it is ten full years since we saw the very first StrongARM at the first Wakefield Show, as well as being the 25th Anniversary of the BBC Micro! Even now, we still have people developing for this famous microcomputer, which helped to start the home computer revolution. Be sure to visit both the JGH BBC Software and Domesday System stands during your visit. The Domesday Project is another superb example of how advanced we were with the BBC Master and other Acorn products of the 1980s. Now we are looking to the future with the new A9home, which is expected to be on retail sale or available for ordering at the show. Over the years we have had visitors to the show from all over the world, from countries such as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Belgium, Finland, Sweden and the USA; not bad for an amateur show! Another long-standing attraction of the show is of course the charity stall, which allows redundant equipment to be recycled, and through your kind support the stall has raised many thousands of pounds, primarily for the Wakefield Hospice, over the years.

  • Archimedes PC Emulator
    Archimedes PC Emulator PC emulators are not new, but so far they have had limited success in their job of enabling your chosen micro to run PC-compatible software. Simon Jones unveils Acorns PC Emulator package for the Archimedes range of micros to see how well it performs in action. At this years PCW Show, Acorn proudly displayed its PC Emulator package for the Archimedes range of computers, which is claimed to allow packages written for the IBM PC to run on an Archimedes. Acorn was demonstrating the Emulator running dBase III+ and Lotus 1-2-3 at the show and, as I only managed a quick glance at the Emulator then, I was pleased to get the opportunity to examine the product at close quarters. Having seen other attempts at PC compatibility, such as pc-ditto (reviewed in PCW, October) I was sceptical to say the least. The Archimedes carries on the Acorn tradition, having a lot in common with the BBC Micro and the BBC Master series. Indeed, the Archimedes will run most of the well-behaved software written for the BBC computers. However, the Archimedes and the BBC micros differ radically in the CPU they use and the amount of RAM available. Based on Acorns RISC processor, the Archimedes 440 is blindingly fast and, with 4Mbytes of memory, it is not short functions to those in MS-DOS. This is cellaneous keys between the main of space — a problem which caused the more than a little confusing if you are group and the numerics. The back- downfall of the BBC Micros.

This operating system has a very fast and flexible response to Interrupts, which allows the machine to take a wide range of peripherals and handle them with ease. The TUBE is a fast bus interface through which additional Co-processors (also called second processors) can be added. when a co-processor is connected to the TUBE interface, the BBC Micro continues to look after all of the I/O processing, whilst the additional co-processor now carries out the task of running the Language Application. The Co-Processor The co-processor can be based on any microprocessor chip, and can have any memory size that this chip can address.

  • Representation Without Representationalism
    REPRESENTATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONALISM A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lucian Leahu May 2012 c 2012 Lucian Leahu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED REPRESENTATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONALISM Lucian Leahu, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 The idea that representations not only describe, but also help shape the world is being explored both empirically and theoretically in an increasing number of academic disciplines ranging from anthropology to quantum mechanics. In- sights emerging from such research question representationalism: the belief that representations simply describe the represented. Ideas and arguments around the nature of representation are particularly relevant for computer science be- cause computers are representational technologies: in order to be useful, they must represent relevant aspects of the world. In my PhD research, I have taken up the challenge of exploring the implications of these ideas for computational approaches. Grounded in affective computing and ubiquitous computing, my research was guided by two core questions united by a focus on the opportunities and implications brought about by taking seriously the idea that representations also shape reality. The first examines how to derive computational representations differently by engaging this idea in technical practice. Two projects provide two case studies on different representations using physiological sensor data: one on basic visualizations of the data; the other, focuses on a more complex form of representation: training classifiers of emotion from the data using ma- chine learning. Building on these projects, the second question examines how the shift in the way we understand representations changes the main practices of constructing interactive systems.
