Cooperative Multireading Revisited and Started

POSA2: To Read: Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity by Gregory Bateson. Grouping patterns into key problem areas. Pattern language - interwoven related patterns.

POSA5: Design metaheuristics. Tractable inverse models.

AMP: Future advances in speed will come through parallelism via shared memory. The model of concurrent asynchronous shared-memory computability. The importance of liveness property.

EIP: Asynchronous messaging is important in application integration.

MM: Communication overhead in multithreaded program

SC: software construction -> problem-solving -> creativity. Conflict between creativity and discipline.

ASS: Support department is like hospital emergency room. Transforming chaos to dance.

SM: Software Maintenance as a distinct discipline. Theory of software chance.

CC: The importance of understanding software construction practices beyond the working environment and language.

RP: Myth that remote communication is transparent to applications. Decoupling of operation invocation in space and time.

MES: 802.1x port based access control for wired and wireless.

OOM: OO language Simula pre-dates structured programming. OO is natural for simulation modeling.

TIS: Transactions important for management workflows. Transaction concept is abstract concept.

NAT: Layered methodology for network analysis.

PT: Parsing is a process of structuring a linear representation according to a given grammar. Grammatical inference - a reverse process.

CW: Crimeware: social engineering or security exploits.

PNA: ARPANET was built by people with OS background not communications.

CA: Cost-performance-power trade-off. ILP/TLP/DLP Instruction/Thread/Data-level parallelism (multicores).

GC: Myths of garbage collectors - overhead.

CS: Access time: time (receipt) - time (initiation). For sequential access half rotation time is important.
