Book abbreviations correspond to titles on the picture from this link:

Cooperative Multireading Revisited and Started

POSA2: Loose-coupling.

POSA5: Design as a sort of problem solving vs. seeing the beauty. Newness.

AMP: View of concurrent concurrency problems as physical. Coordination protocol and proof by contradiction.

EIP: Vendor-independent vocabulary.

MM: In Win32 when main() exits other threads exit too, in Java it is not.

SC: Fundamental conflict between management and practitioners: discipline/control vs. freewheeling methods.

ASS: Support as a profit center.

SM: The definition of software includes all artifacts.

CC: Software construction is part of many software development activities but in different proportions.

RP: Remoting styles on top of existing middleware (COM+, EJB).

MES: Phreaking: phone hacking. 2600 magazine.

OOM: COM+ components as actors (need knowledge about collaborators). 

TIS: Atomicity and durability as recovery techniques.

NAT: OSI Layer 1 is independent from the physical media.

PT: Multilevel view of the language: Word as sentences of token letters. Linguist vs. computer scientist vs. formal-linguist. The latter’s view of the language as the set of sequences of symbols with identity.

CW: Screenscrapers and alternate on-screen input of characters. Polling vs. hooking for keyloggers.

PNA: Control bits are treated as opcodes and create more code complexity. Single PDU leads to proliferation of protocols.

CA: RISC: load/store architecture.

GC: Suspension or closure: pair (function, binding of names to locations). The ability of a function to return closure is based on heap allocation.

CS: Requirements for ADA were set by a committee of users, not language designers. Abstraction tools: package, type (state values) and generic.
