A new open desktop bus, described by Peter Sichel, is a simple means to connect as many as 14 low-speed devices to a desk­ top system. In his paper, Peter presents the project background, reviews the I'C technology on which the bus is based, and describes the protocol and the configuration process.

This implies that even if eventually migrating to another environment, one still has to deal with coexistence among environments in the interim. In many com- panies it would make good business sense not to migrate legacy systems at all. Instead, it may be better to develop new systems in the desired en- vironment and phase out the legacy applications. The data created by the legacy applications is important and one must ensure that data can be ac- cessed from a new environment. Coexistence considerations are very im- portant in this case.

Soft infras- tructure { the formal and informal culture, institutions, standards, practices, and procedures that support an enterprise { is often more important to human endeavors than hard infrastructure. For example, a highway system's hard infrastructure (e.g., the roads) could not satisfy its enterprise { effective transportation | without the corresponding soft infrastructure of regulations, policing, driver habits, maintenance crews, and so forth. The relative cost and importance of the different aspects of infrastructure evolves, particularly during the development stages, from planning, to construction, to commissioning, operation, maintenance, and upgrading. The design, development, support, and dissemination of computer software is an archetypal example of soft infrastructure, regularly being the tail that wags the dog of computer hardware (prototypical hard infrastructure). Quantifying soft infrastructure is more difficult than hard in- frastructure. Thus, it is often ignored or under-emphasized when analyzing or proposing changes to human-developed systems. In particular, government understanding and funding of scientific soft infrastructure lags well behind that of hard infrastructure (for example, experimental devices such as accelerators).

  • Chapter 4 Editors and Debugging Systems
    Chapter 4 Editors and Debugging Systems This Chapter gives you… Text editors Interactive Debugging Systems 4.0 Introduction An Interactive text editor has become an important part of almost any computing environment. Text editor acts as a primary interface to the computer for all type of “knowledge workers” as they compose, organize, study, and manipulate computer-based information. An interactive debugging system provides programmers with facilities that aid in testing and debugging of programs. Many such systems are available during these days. Our discussion is broad in scope, giving the overview of interactive debugging systems – not specific to any particular existing system. 4.1 Text Editors An Interactive text editor has become an important part of almost any computing environment. Text editor acts as a primary interface to the computer for all type of “knowledge workers” as they compose, organize, study, and manipulate computer-based information. A text editor allows you to edit a text file (create, modify etc…). For example the Interactive text editors on Windows OS - Notepad, WordPad, Microsoft Word, and text editors on UNIX OS - vi, emacs, jed, pico. Normally, the common editing features associated with text editors are, Moving the cursor, Deleting, Replacing, Pasting, Searching, Searching and replacing, Saving and loading, and, Miscellaneous(e.g. quitting). 4.1.1 Overview of the editing process An interactive editor is a computer program that allows a user to create and revise a target document. Document includes objects such as computer diagrams, text, equations tables, diagrams, line art, and photographs. Here we restrict to text editors, where character strings are the primary elements of the target text.
