With the increasing proliferation of chat applications on the web, the old vision of ‘‘adding people’’ to the web is becoming a reality. Along with collaboration tools, more and more sites offer people awareness mechanisms to let the site visitors know about each other. This reflects the dual nature of the web as a place for virtual meetings as well as an information repository. While standalon...

With the continued growth of distributed systems as a means to provide shared data, designers are turning their attention to garbage collection, prompted by the complexity of memory management and the desire for transparent object management. Garbage collection in very large address spaces is a di cult and unsolved problem, due to problems of e ciency, fault-tolerance, scalability and completen...

Fis protein and DNA Fis, under the control of the T7 RNA polymerase (Pan et al. 1996), was expressed by auto-induction (Studier 2005). Extracts were prepared using a French Press and nucleic acids were removed by precipitation with 0.35% polyethyleneimine followed by precipitation with ammonium sulfate (80% saturation). Fis was purified by FPLC chromatography over a Bioscale S20 (Bio-Rad) colum...

One source major of email addresses for spammers involves “harvesting” them from websites. This paper describes a proposal to allow a website owner to make illegal such automated extraction of email addresses. We propose a “no-email-collection” standard for websites and a mechanism to track spammers violating the standard. There are four parts to this proposal. The first part is to create speci...

This paper shows that Appel-style garbage collectors often make suboptimal decisions both in terms of when and how to collect. We argue that garbage collection should be done when the amount of live bytes is low (in order to minimize the collection cost) and when the amount of dead objects is high (in order to maximize the available heap size after collection). In addition, we observe that Appe...

Spontaneous interaction in public places has evolved as crucial concern in interaction design, particularly in the domain of public advertising. Implicit interaction is a mode of spontaneous interaction in which the user is not attentively or explicitly expressing input to a system, but the system from observing the user, and considering all the available information that describes the user sit...

Current garbage collectors leave much heap-allocated data uncollected because they preserve data reachable from a root set. However, only live data—a subset of reachable data—need be preserved. Using a first-order functional language we formulate a context-sensitive liveness analysis for structured data and prove it correct. We then use a 0-CFA-like conservative approximation to annotate each a...
