  • Yutaka Oiwa. "Implementation of a Fail-Safe ANSI C Compiler"
    Implementation of a Fail-Safe ANSI C Compiler 安全な ANSI C コンパイラの実装手法 Doctoral Dissertation 博士論文 Yutaka Oiwa 大岩 寛 Submitted to Department of Computer Science, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo on December 16, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Programs written in the C language often suffer from nasty errors due to dangling pointers and buffer overflow. Such errors in Internet server programs are often ex- ploited by malicious attackers to “crack” an entire system, and this has become a problem affecting society as a whole. The root of these errors is usually corruption of on-memory data structures caused by out-of-bound array accesses. The C lan- guage does not provide any protection against such out-of-bound access, although recent languages such as Java, C#, Lisp and ML provide such protection. Never- theless, the C language itself should not be blamed for this shortcoming—it was designed to provide a replacement for assembly languages (i.e., to provide flexible direct memory access through a light-weight high-level language). In other words, lack of array boundary protection is “by design.” In addition, the C language was designed more than thirty years ago when there was not enough computer power to perform a memory boundary check for every memory access. The real prob- lem is the use of the C language for current casual programming, which does not usually require such direct memory accesses. We cannot realistically discard the C language right away, though, because there are many legacy programs written in the C language and many legacy programmers accustomed to the C language and its programming style.

  • Cognitive Abilities, Interfaces and Tasks: Effects on Prospective Information Handling in Email
    Cognitive Abilities, Interfaces and Tasks: Effects on Prospective Information Handling in Email by Jacek Stanisław Gwizdka A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Jacek Gwizdka 2004 “Cognitive Abilities, Interfaces and Tasks: Effects on Prospective Information Handling in Email” Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Jacek Stanisław Gwizdka Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation is focused on new email user interfaces that may improve awareness and handling of task-laden messages in the inbox. The practical motivation for this research was to help email users process messages more effectively. A field study was conducted to examine email practices related to handling messages that refer to pending tasks. Individual differences in message handling style were observed, with one group of users transferring such messages out of their email pro- grams to other applications (e.g., calendars), while the other group kept prospective messages in email and used the inbox as a reminder of future events. Two novel graphical user interfaces were designed to facilitate monitoring and retrieval of prospective information from email messages. The TaskView interface displayed task- laden messages on a two-dimensional grid (with time on the horizontal axis). The WebT- askMail interface retained the two-dimensional grid, but extended the representation of pending tasks (added distinction between events and to-do's with deadlines), a vertical date reading line, and more space for email message headers. ii Two user studies were conducted to test hypothesized benefits of the new visual repre- sentations and to examine the effects of different levels of selected cognitive abilities on task-laden message handling performance.
