  • 1- BRUNEL: Welcome to Another Episode of Getting the Most
    BRUNEL: Welcome to another episode of Getting the Most Out of IBM U2. I'm Kenny Brunel, and I'm your host for today's episode, and today we're going to talk about IBM U2's latest technology, U2.NET. First of all, what is .NET? So I'm going to turn my attention, first of all, to a guest that I have in the studio with me today in Denver, Dave Peters. Dave is the product manager for the U2 data servers and the client tools, and Dave has been with IBM for over 12 years. What can you tell us about U2.NET? But first of all could you give us a brief rundown or a description of what .NET is itself. PETERS: Sure, Kenny. .NET is really a development framework architected by Microsoft. This is the framework that Microsoft hopes that will be the development choice for any new development on Windows. It consists of user-defined interfaces, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, Web application development and communications. IBM has three options for U2 developers that want to access the U2 data servers using .NET. The first I'll mention is [UniObjects] for .NET or UO.NET. UO.NET is a MultiValue API for use in the .NET applications. It's very familiar within -1- the constructs and was introduced to help Basic programmers get to .NET very easily. And one good thing is it's simple to get. UO .NET is available on the client CD that comes with either UniVerse or UniData. The second option is, the long name is IBM database add-ins for Visual Studio or as we refer to it as IBM .NET.

  • Interoperability and the Need for Intelligent Software
    Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) ONR Decision-Support Workshop Series Interoperability hosted by the Collaborative Agent Design Research Center (CADRC) Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, CA Proceedings of Workshop held on September 8-9, 2004 at The Clubs at Quantico, Quantico Marine Base Quantico, VA November 2004 Interoperability and the Need for Intelligent Software Jens Pohl, Ph.D. Executive Director Collaborative Agent Design Research Center (CADRC) California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) San Luis Obispo, California In my introduction to this year’s conference I will address six questions that I believe come to the core of our conference theme of interoperability. Do we human beings resist change? Is it in fact a human problem and not a technical problem that we are dealing with? Can non-human intelligence exist? Do we even have a need for intelligent software? How did software, particularly intelligent software (i.e., if we accept that there is such a thing) evolve over the past several decades, and what is all this talk about a Semantic Web environment? And, finally, what does the future hold in the next five to ten years? Fig.1: “…it was the best of times…” Fig.2: “…it was the worst of times…” I would like to start by paraphrasing one of my favorite authors, Charles Dickens. Many of you will recall that in The Tale of Two Cities, he started off the entire book with a long paragraph that began with the words: "...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." These are words that I believe apply very much today.

Abstract The use of large scale processing systems has exploded during the last decade and now they are indicated for significantly contributing to the world energy consumption and, in turn, environmental pollution. Processing systems are no more evaluated only for their performance, but also for how much they consume to perform at a certain level. Those evaluations aim at quantifying the energy efficiency conceived as the relation between a performance metric and a power consumption metric, disregarding the malfunction that commonly happens. The study of a real 500-nodes batch system shows that 9% of its power consumption is ascribable to failures compromising the execution of the jobs. Also fault tolerance techniques, commonly adopted for reducing the frequency of failure occurrences, have a cost in terms of energy consumption. This dissertation introduces the concept of consumability for processing systems, en- compassing performance, consumption and dependability aspects.
