- Russia launches final satellites for its own GPSFor Russian MilNot so much Anti-US as much as Pro-Russian although one may argue that they are the same thing. Glonass was and is intended for Russia's own military. But any public relations benefits for allowing international free-use is, of course,...

- How smart can a link be?
- After my trial implementation of AdaptiveBlue's Smartlink technology on my blog, I was contacted by Director of Business Development, Fraser Kelton, who agreed to a Questions and Answers session about Adaptive Blue's new technology. For a quick introduction, I have been trying out AdaptiveBlue's Blue Organiser for a few weeks...

- O'Reilly and Spivack grapple with the Webs
- O'Reilly and Spivack grapple with the WebsIdeas on Web 3.0I agree with the writer that associated with the Web 3.0 there are many intertwined ideas and proper distinction between them is not clear. It may very well be as a result of the whole thing being a rather new and...

- Comparing OWL Semantics
- The OWL Web Ontology Language is endowed with two model theories, reflecting its origins as a compromise between two different communities. By design these model theories give rise to very similar semantics, and a precise statement of the correspondence between the model theories is conjectured with a sketch proof at...

- SNZI: Scalable NonZero Indicators
- This paper introduces the SNZI shared object, which is related to traditional shared counters, but has weaker semantics. The paper also introduces a resettable version of SNZI called SNZI-R. The paper presents implementations that are scalable, linearizable, nonblocking, and fast in the absence of contention, proper-ties that are difficult or...

- PlayStation 3 doesn't do 1080iSo, anyone here got a PS3 yet?:-)Well XBox 360 Doesn't Do 1080pThe XBox 360 only has component outputs, and no HDMI. Consequently, Microsoft's claim that it outputs 1080p from their available HD-DVD drive is all well and good, but no current television will accept 1080p...

- Typed Parametric Polymorphism for Aspects
- This paper studies the incorporation of generic types in aspect languages. Since advice acts like method update, such a study has to accommodate the subtleties of the interaction of classes, polymorphism and aspects. Indeed, simple examples demonstrate that current aspect compiling techniques do not avoid runtime type errors. The paper...

- User Interaction Experience for Semantic Web Information
- The Semantic Web project aims to add semantics to the existing World Wide Web. This paper proposes an extension of the Web's user interaction experience to take advantage of the added semantics. This user experience maintains the Web's original navigation paradigm, although all URIs, not just URLs, can be used...

- The JCilk Language for Multithreaded Computing
- JCilk extends the Java language to provide call-return semantics for multithreading, much as Cilk does for C. Java's built-in thread model does not support the passing of exceptions or return values from one thread back to the "parent" thread that created it. JCilk imports Cilk's fork-join primitives spawn and sync...

- The Yin/Yang Web: A Unified Model for XML Syntax and RDF Semantics
- XML is the W3C standard document format for writing and exchanging information on the Web. RDF is the W3C standard model for describing the semantics and reasoning about information on the Web. Unfortunately, RDF and XML - although very close to each other - are based on two different paradigms....

- A Calculus of Untyped Aspect-Oriented Programs
- Aspects have emerged as a powerful tool in the design and development of systems, allowing for the encapsulation of program transformations. The dynamic semantics of aspects is typically specified by appealing to an underlying object-oriented language via a compiler transformation known as weaving. This treatment is unsatisfactory for several reasons....

- Microsoft's search plan: It's about semantics and possibly for naught
- Microsoft's search plan apparently revolves around semantics. The software giant picked up Powerset, a natural language search provider for an undisclosed sum. Will it be enough to close its yawning Google and even Yahoo search gap? Probably not, but Powerset could give Microsoft a little leapfrog ability...
