Evaluating a BASIC Approach to Sensor Network Node Programming
Evaluating A BASIC Approach to Sensor Network Node Programming J. Scott Miller Peter A. Dinda Robert P. Dick [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Northwestern University Northwestern University University of Michigan Abstract 1 Introduction Sensor networks have the potential to empower domain Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be viewed as experts from a wide range of fields. However, presently they general purpose distributed computing platforms defined by are notoriously difficult for these domain experts to program, their spatial presence and an emphasis on environment mon- even though their applications are often conceptually simple. itoring. The most prominent applications of sensor networks We address this problem by applying the BASIC program- have thus far included monitoring applications with a variety ming language to sensor networks and evaluating its effec- of requirements, although WSNs need not be limited to these tiveness. BASIC has proven highly successful in the past in tasks. While WSNs are currently of great research interest, it allowing novices to write useful programs on home comput- is ultimately communities and users outside of these areas— ers. Our contributions include a user study evaluating how application domain experts—that have the most to gain from well novice (no programming experience) and intermediate the functionality that WSNs can provide. We focus on ap- (some programming experience) users can accomplish sim- plication domain experts who are programming novices and ple sensor network tasks in BASIC and in TinyScript (a prin- not WSN experts. Our goal is to make the development of cipally event-driven high-level language for node-oriented WSN applications by such individuals and groups tractable programming) and an evaluation of power consumption is- and, ideally, straightforward. -

The Advent of Recursion & Logic in Computer Science
The Advent of Recursion & Logic in Computer Science MSc Thesis (Afstudeerscriptie) written by Karel Van Oudheusden –alias Edgar G. Daylight (born October 21st, 1977 in Antwerpen, Belgium) under the supervision of Dr Gerard Alberts, and submitted to the Board of Examiners in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MSc in Logic at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. Date of the public defense: Members of the Thesis Committee: November 17, 2009 Dr Gerard Alberts Prof Dr Krzysztof Apt Prof Dr Dick de Jongh Prof Dr Benedikt Löwe Dr Elizabeth de Mol Dr Leen Torenvliet 1 “We are reaching the stage of development where each new gener- ation of participants is unaware both of their overall technological ancestry and the history of the development of their speciality, and have no past to build upon.” J.A.N. Lee in 1996 [73, p.54] “To many of our colleagues, history is only the study of an irrele- vant past, with no redeeming modern value –a subject without useful scholarship.” J.A.N. Lee [73, p.55] “[E]ven when we can't know the answers, it is important to see the questions. They too form part of our understanding. If you cannot answer them now, you can alert future historians to them.” M.S. Mahoney [76, p.832] “Only do what only you can do.” E.W. Dijkstra [103, p.9] 2 Abstract The history of computer science can be viewed from a number of disciplinary perspectives, ranging from electrical engineering to linguistics. As stressed by the historian Michael Mahoney, different `communities of computing' had their own views towards what could be accomplished with a programmable comput- ing machine. -
Alfred Tarski and a Watershed Meeting in Logic: Cornell, 1957 Solomon Feferman1
Alfred Tarski and a watershed meeting in logic: Cornell, 1957 Solomon Feferman1 For Jan Wolenski, on the occasion of his 60th birthday2 In the summer of 1957 at Cornell University the first of a cavalcade of large-scale meetings partially or completely devoted to logic took place--the five-week long Summer Institute for Symbolic Logic. That meeting turned out to be a watershed event in the development of logic: it was unique in bringing together for such an extended period researchers at every level in all parts of the subject, and the synergetic connections established there would thenceforth change the face of mathematical logic both qualitatively and quantitatively. Prior to the Cornell meeting there had been nothing remotely like it for logicians. Previously, with the growing importance in the twentieth century of their subject both in mathematics and philosophy, it had been natural for many of the broadly representative meetings of mathematicians and of philosophers to include lectures by logicians or even have special sections devoted to logic. Only with the establishment of the Association for Symbolic Logic in 1936 did logicians begin to meet regularly by themselves, but until the 1950s these occasions were usually relatively short in duration, never more than a day or two. Alfred Tarski was one of the principal organizers of the Cornell institute and of some of the major meetings to follow on its heels. Before the outbreak of World War II, outside of Poland Tarski had primarily been involved in several Unity of Science Congresses, including the first, in Paris in 1935, and the fifth, at Harvard in September, 1939. -

Early Life: 1924–1945
An interview with FRITZ BAUER Conducted by Ulf Hashagen on 21 and 26 July, 2004, at the Technische Universität München. Interview conducted by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, as part of grant # DE-FG02-01ER25547 awarded by the US Department of Energy. Transcript and original tapes donated to the Computer History Museum by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics © Computer History Museum Mountain View, California ABSTRACT: Professor Friedrich L. Bauer describes his career in physics, computing, and numerical analysis. Professor Bauer was born in Thaldorf, Germany near Kelheim. After his schooling in Thaldorf and Pfarrkirchen, he received his baccalaureate at the Albertinium, a boarding school in Munich. He then faced the draft into the German Army, serving first in the German labor service. After training in France and a deployment to the Eastern Front in Kursk, he was sent to officer's school. His reserve unit was captured in the Ruhr Valley in 1945 during the American advance. He returned to Pfarrkirchen in September 1945 and in spring of 1946 enrolled in mathematics and physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitäat, München. He studied mathematics with Oscar Perron and Heinrich Tietze and physics with Arnold Sommerfeld and Paul August Mann. He was offered a full assistantship with Fritz Bopp and finished his Ph.D. in 1951 writing on group representations in particle physics. He then joined a group in Munich led by a professor of mathematics Robert Sauer and the electrical engineer Hans Piloty, working with a colleague Klaus Samelson on the design of the PERM, a computer based in part on the Whirlwind concept. -

Conquering and curing clinical depressions, bipolar illnesses and related disorders is the goal that drives the University of Michigan Comprehensive Depression Center’s (UMDC) team. Mood disorders are common. They start early. Untreated, they recur again and again throughout the lifespan. They touch everyone, are expensive, and their consequences can be tragic and even deadly if left untreated. They have multiple causes, so no one size treatment will fit all. For many patients, treatments are frustrating and too often abandoned. But Depression Center members face these challenges with growing confidence every day. As you begin to read the pages of our 2013-2014 IMPACT report, you will get a taste for some of the many ways UMDC members are harnessing collaborative and innovative strategies to address these challenges and achieve our bold goals. The diagram illustrating the Center’s Strategic Plan shown here is not just an intellectual exercise. There is power in collaboration and the Depression Center thrives on partnerships. Some of our faculty, students, and staff excel in partnering to unveil underlying mechanisms through basic neuroscience, molecular, psychosocial and cognitive sciences. Others adapt what is learned to develop biomarkers or “signposts” that help clinicians in labeling the real underlying cause to select the precise treatments that work.
