    motd by Rob Kolstad Dr. Rob Kolstad has long served as editor of ;login:. He is also head coach of the USENIX- sponsored USA Computing Olympiad. <[email protected]> Needs In the late 1960s, when the psychological world embraced behaviorism and psychoanalysis as its twin grails, Abraham Maslow proposed a hierarchy of needs. This hierarchy was brought to mind because I am hosting the Polish computing champion for a short visit, and he often asks questions of the sort, "Why would anyone need such a large car?" Maslow listed, in order: • Physiological needs, including air, food, water, warmth, shelter, etc. Lack of these things can cause death. • Safety needs, for coping with emergencies, chaos (e.g., rioting), and other periods of disorganization. • Needs for giving and receiving love, affection, and belonging, as well as the ability to escape loneliness/alienation. • Esteem needs, centering on a stable, high level of self-respect and respect from others, in order to gain satisfaction and self-confidence. Lack of esteem causes feelings of inferiority, weakness, helplessness, and worthlessness. "Self-actualization" needs were the big gun of the thesis. They exemplified the behavior of non-selfish adults and are, regrettably, beyond the scope of this short article. As I think about the context of "needs" vs. "wants" or "desires" in our culture, economy, and particularly among the group of readers of this publication, it seems that we're doing quite well for the easy needs (physiological needs and safety). I know many of my acquaintances (and myself!) are doing just super in their quest for better gadgetry, toys, and "stuff" ("whoever dies with the most toys wins").

  • Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Hardware
    Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Hardware Yanyan Shen Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Computer Science and Engineering Faculty of Engineering March 2019 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Shen Given Name/s : Yanyan Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Faculty of Engineering School : School of Computer Science and Engineering Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Thesis Title : Hardware Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The thesis presents microkernel-based software-implemented mechanisms for improving the trustworthiness of computer systems based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that can malfunction when the hardware is impacted by transient hardware faults. The hardware anomalies, if undetected, can cause data corruptions, system crashes, and security vulnerabilities, significantly undermining system dependability. Specifically, we adopt the single event upset (SEU) fault model and address transient CPU or memory faults. We take advantage of the functional correctness and isolation guarantee provided by the formally verified seL4 microkernel and hardware redundancy provided by multicore processors, design the redundant co-execution (RCoE) architecture that replicates a whole software system (including the microkernel) onto different CPU cores, and implement two variants, loosely-coupled redundant co-execution (LC-RCoE) and closely-coupled redundant co-execution (CC-RCoE), for the ARM and x86 architectures. RCoE treats each replica of the software system as a state machine and ensures that the replicas start from the same initial state, observe consistent inputs, perform equivalent state transitions, and thus produce consistent outputs during error-free executions.

  • From Urban Entrepreneurialism to a “Revanchist City”? on the Spatial Injustices of Glasgow’S Renaissance
    From Urban Entrepreneurialism to a “Revanchist City”? On the Spatial Injustices of Glasgow’s Renaissance Gordon MacLeod Department of Geography, University of Durham, Durham, UK; [email protected] Recent perspectives on the American city have highlighted the extent to which the economic and sociospatial contradictions generated by two decades of “actually exist- ing” neoliberal urbanism appear to demand an increasingly punitive or “revanchist” political response. At the same time, it is increasingly being acknowledged that, after embracing much of the entrepreneurial ethos, European cities are also confronting sharpening inequalities and entrenched social exclusion. Drawing on evidence from Glasgow, the paper assesses the dialectical relations between urban entrepreneurial- ism, its escalating contradictions, and the growing compulsion to meet these with a selective appropriation of the revanchist political repertoire. Introduction Spurred on by the unrelenting pace of globalization and the entrenched political hegemony of a neoliberal ideology, throughout the last two decades a host of urban governments in North America and Western Europe have sought to recapitalize the economic land- scapes of their cities. While these “entrepreneurial” strategies might have refueled the profitability of many city spaces across the two con- tinents, the price of such speculative endeavor has been a sharpening of socioeconomic inequalities alongside the institutional displacement and “social exclusion” of certain marginalized groups. One political response to these social geographies of “actually existing neoliberalism” (Brenner and Theodore [paper] this volume) sees the continuous renaissance of the entrepreneurial city being tightly “disciplined” through a range of architectural forms and institutional practices so that the enhancement of a city’s image is not compromised by the visible presence of those very marginalized groups.

  • Influences of Gentrification on Identity Shift of an Urban Fragment - a Case Study

It underlines the importance of reasonable proportioning, sensible structuring and long-term planning of transformation of urban spaces, which contributes to an upgrade of living conditions and qualitative advancement of social consciousness and development of needs of the local inhabitants, regardless of their socio-economic profile. Despite not perceiving gentrification as an a priori negative process, influences of alterations of urban tissue carried out through radical and narrowly interpreted modifications of their character may cause undesired changes in the perception and use of the space and were analyzed as well. A case study of the gentrification of Grbavica, an urban fragment in Novi Sad, Serbia, is presented. The goal of this

  • Housing Regeneration in Glasgow: Gentrification and Upward Neighbourhood Trajectories in a Post-Industrial City
    eSharp Issue 7 Faith, Belief and Community Housing regeneration in Glasgow: Gentrification and upward neighbourhood trajectories in a post-industrial city. Zhan McIntyre (University of Glasgow) Introduction There is growing concern among governments in the developed world about the future of cities (Schoon, 2001).1 Arguably, this concern has had particular prominence for the ‘urban dinosaurs’, that is the de-industrialising or ‘rust belt cities’ that at one time depended upon heavy manufacturing as the main source of employment. The contraction of manufacturing employment in the older industrial cities in Europe since the 1960s onwards created specific challenges for these cities including massive unemployment, a growth in poverty, the physical and social degeneration of the urban fabric and significant population loss. Despite public investment and policy measures implemented by different scales of government, these problems have persisted (Bailey et al., 1999). Therefore, an international trend of urban renewal is a focus on housing-led regeneration strategies. It is noted by some commentators that the endorsement of housing rehabilitation, neighbourhood renewal and urban renaissance is a ‘mantle under which gentrification is being promoted’ (Atkinson, 2004, p.107; Lees, 2000). Simply put, gentrification is a re-occurring process in areas undergoing urban renewal projects. However, this is problematic in two respects. The first relates to the contested views regarding the goals of public policy. The second concerns the process of gentrification itself, specifically as it has been seen as a regressive and negative process within the academic community because of the displacement it tends to cause for the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community, and its portrayal as the physical expression of a more sinister and aggressive neoliberal ‘revanchist’ policy discourse (Smith, 1996; MacLeod, 2002; Atkinson, 2003; Harvey, 2003).

  • Urban Strategy Or Urban Solution?: Visions of a Gentrified Waterfront in Rotterdam and Glasgow Brian Doucet U
    Urban strategy or urban solution?: Visions of a gentrified waterfront in Rotterdam and Glasgow Brian Doucet Utrecht University Conference Paper Association of American Geographers 2013 PortcityScapes Special Session Friday 12 April 2013 This is a draft paper. Please do not cite without consultation with the author Abstract The transformation of old inner‐city harbour areas into mixed‐use, high‐end flagship developments is one of the biggest processes of urban change impacting port cities. These spaces are part of the gentrified urban landscape, which, as recent scholarship has demonstrated, is largely state‐ or municipally‐led. Our currently knowledge on the goals of gentrification focuses on three objectives: urban entrepreneurial policies of growth and place promotion, creating liveable cities and neighbourhoods and ‘revanchist’ attitudes towards poor and marginalised groups. However, we lack a deep understanding of the visions and ideas of key initiators of municipally‐led gentrification; these first‐hand accounts tend to get ignored when examining gentrification as an urban strategy more broadly. Therefore, the aim of this article is to gain more insight into these visions which drive municipal leaders to promote gentrified spaces along their urban waterfronts. It will examine the specific cases of high‐end, mixed‐use developments in Rotterdam and Glasgow. Both waterfronts were championed by individual leaders whose visions led to the transformation of their respective waterfronts from industrial or abandoned places to post‐industrial, consumption‐oriented spaces. A detailed analysis of these visions reveals that they are clearly rooted in addressing key social and economic problems of their cities: in Rotterdam this is centred on the divisions between the northern and southern halves of the city; in Glasgow, it is focused on employment opportunities.

  • New-Build `Gentrification' and London's Riverside Renaissance
    Environment and Planning A 2005, volume 37, pages 1165 ^ 1190 DOI:10.1068/a3739 New-build `gentrification' and London's riverside renaissance Mark Davidson, Loretta Lees Department of Geography, King's College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS, England; e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received 3 February 2004; in revised form 5 August 2004 Abstract. In a recent conference paper Lambert and Boddy (2002) questioned whether new-build residential developments in UK city centres were examples of gentrification. They concluded that this stretched the term too far and coined `residentialisation' as an alternative term. In contrast, we argue in this paper that new-build residential developments in city centres are examples of gentrification. We argue that new-build gentrification is part and parcel of the maturation and mutation of the gentrification process during the post-recession era. We outline the conceptual cases for and against new-build `gentrification', then, using the case of London's riverside renaissance, we find in favour of the case for. ``In the last decade the designer apartment blocks built by corporate developers for elite consumption have become as characteristic of gentrified landscapes as streetscapes of lovingly restored Victorian terraces. As gentrification continues to progress and exhibit new forms and patterns, it seems unnecessary to confine the concept to residential rehabilitation.'' Shaw (2002, page 44) 1 Introduction Recent gentrification research has begun to highlight the challenges that current waves of gentrification pose towards its conceptualisation (Lees, 2003a; Slater, 2004). In the last decade gentrification has matured and its processes are operating in a new economic, cultural, social, and political environment.

Gendered Residential Space Abstract Gay Villages, Gay Ghettos, and other gay and lesbian residential enclaves have all become a standard part of urban space, but who actually lives in these neighborhoods and how does each differ? One obvious variation is gender, particularly as it is traditionally understood. As a population that inherently breaks conventional gender stereotypes, is it possible that gay and lesbian settlement patterns still reinforce gender stereotypes? This paper explores gender in neighborhoods with high lesbian and gay populations and particularly questions what are the factors that lead lesbians to concentrate in certain residential spaces. The research focuses on the Philadelphia neighborhoods of Mount Airy and Washington Square West and serves to better understand gendered space in the larger scheme of urban settlement.
