Select articles from recent issues of Computer Society magazines are highlighted below. The March/April issue of Software features an overview of tools and technologies for improved collaboration titled “Collaboration Tools for Global Software Engineering,” by Filippo Lanubile, Christof Ebert, Rafael Prikladnicki, and Aurora Vizcaíno. Effective tool support for collaboration is a strategic initiative for any company with distributed resources, no matter whether the strategy involves offshore development, outsourcing, or supplier networks. Software needs to be shared, and appropriate tool support is the only way to do this efficiently, consistently, and securely. No single solution has yet emerged to unify communications among the various and proliferating messaging systems available today. In “Understanding Unified Messaging,” in the January/February issue of IT Pro, Clinton M. Banner of Alcatel-Lucent surveys the issues and solutions— both proprietary and open—that are in development. “Integrating Visualization and Interaction Research to Improve Scientific Workflows,” by the University of Minnesota’s Daniel F. Keefe, identifies three goals—improving accuracy, linking multiple visualization strategies, and making data analysis more fluid—that serve as a guide for future interactive-visualization research targeted COMPUTER at improving visualization tools’ impact on scientific workflows. The article, which appears in the March/April issue of CG&A, also offers four examples that illustrate the potential and challenges of integrating visualization research and interaction research: 3D selection techniques in brain visualizations, interactive multiview scientific visualizations, fluid pen- and touch-based interfaces for visualization, and modeling human performance in interactive visualizationrelated tasks. The Cell Broadband Engine is a heterogeneous chip multiprocessor that combines a PowerPC processor core with eight single-instruction, multiple-data accelerator cores and delivers high performance on many computationally intensive codes. “Application Acceleration with the Cell Broadband Engine” by Guochun Shi, Volodymyr Kindratenko, Frederico Pratas, Pedro Trancoso, and Michael Gschwind appears in the January/February issue of CiSE. Demand-response systems provide detailed powerconsumption data to utilities and those angling to assist consumers in understanding and managing energy use. Such data reveals information about in-home activities that can be mined and combined with other readily available information to discover more about occupants’ activities. “Inferring Personal Information from Demand-Response Systems” by Mikhail Lisovich, Deirdre Mulligan, and Stephen Wicker appears in the January/February issue of S&P. The March/April issue of Intelligent Systems focuses on new paradigms in business and market intelligence. The emergence of user-generated Web 2.0 content offers Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0018-9162/10/$26.00 © 2010 IEEE A Computer Previous Page | Contents | Zoom in | Zoom out | Front Cover | Search Issue | Next Page M S BE aG F

An overview in this issue of IS includes five short articles by distinguished experts on today’s trends in business and market intelligence. Each article presents a unique, innovative research framework, computational methods, and selected results and examples. In the world of Web 2.0, Internet 2, and open systems, most learning is still done in traditional classrooms. As education costs continue to far outpace inflation, what is e-learning’s role? In the March/April issue of Internet Computing, Stephen Ruth of George Mason University addresses these questions in “Is E-Learning Really Working? The Trillion Dollar Question.” Spectacles is a hardware/software platform developed from off-the-shelf components and ready for market. It includes local computation and communication facilities, an integrated power supply, and modular system building blocks such as sensors, voice-to-text and text-to-speech components, localization and positioning units, and microdisplay units. Its see-through display components are integrated into eyeglass frames. “Wearable Displays—for Everyone!” by Alois Ferscha and Simon Vogl appears in the January-March issue of PvC. The January/February issue of Micro continues a seven-year tradition of featuring top picks from computer architecture conferences. Guest editor Trevor Mudge of the University of Michigan participated in a program committee of 31 computer architects from both industry and academia. The committee reviewed 91 submissions, selecting 13 papers for abridgment in the magazine. Topics range from practical prefetching to application-domain-specific computing and nonvolatile memory. Current media-synchronization techniques range from the very theoretical to the very practical. In “Modeling Media Synchronization with Semiotic Agents,” researchers from the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Reading describe a modeling technique for mapping theoretical models to system implementations. The technique combines agent technology with semiotics to offer a sound theoretical framework for expressing and manipulating media-synchronization attributes in real-world applications.

Introducing D&T’s March/ April special issue in “Compact Variability Modeling in Scaled CMOS Design,” guest editors Yu Cao of Arizona State University and Frank Liu of IBM Austin Research Laboratory preview five articles that address these challenges. An article by Fred Brooks, renowned computer scientist and author of The Mythical Man-Month, opens the first issue of Annals in 2010. In “Stretch-ing Is Great Exercise—It Gets You in Shape to Win,” Brooks recounts the history of the IBM Stretch Project (1955-1961). Although the company lost $35 million on the project in 1960, Brooks describes how Stretch drove technologies that enabled the rapid development of IBM’s successful 7000-series computers and the architectural innovations of its System/360 product family.
