The Byzantine agreement problem: optimal early stopping 拜占庭协议问题:最优提前停止
A. Krings, Thomas Feyer
Addresses solutions to the problem of reaching agreement in the presence of faults. Whereas the need for agreement has surfaced mainly in fault-tolerant real-time applications, agreement can be a useful mechanism in network security to mask intrusions. However, due to the communication overhead involved and the fact that the system is expected to operate without problems most of the time, early stopping algorithms are of special interest. We introduce a non-authenticated early stopping algorithm that is optimal in terms of rounds and the number of processors in the system. The basic idea of the algorithm as closely related to the work of P. Berman et al. (1992). However, our algorithm is easier to implement because of its algorithmic definition. It is directly derived from the algorithm by L. Lamport et al. (1982) and is based on two simple functions only. We are convinced that the construction of the early stopping algorithm presented in this paper increases understanding and clarifies the underlying problems of early stopping.
解决在存在错误的情况下达成一致的问题。虽然对协议的需求主要出现在容错实时应用中,但协议可以成为网络安全中屏蔽入侵的有用机制。然而,由于所涉及的通信开销和系统预计在大多数时间运行无问题的事实,早期停止算法是特别感兴趣的。我们引入了一个非认证的早期停止算法,该算法在轮数和系统中的处理器数量方面是最优的。该算法的基本思想与P. Berman等人(1992)的工作密切相关。然而,我们的算法更容易实现,因为它的算法定义。它直接来源于L. Lamport等人(1982)的算法,仅基于两个简单函数。我们相信本文提出的早停算法的构造增加了对早停的理解,并澄清了早停的潜在问题。

High-performance computing tools for modeling evolution in epidemics 用于流行病演化建模的高性能计算工具
W. Maniatty, B. Szymanski, T. Caraco
We describe a series of stepwise refinements of a biological model resulting in a high-performance simulation system for individual-based models of the co-evolutionary dynamics associated with spatially explicit epidemic processes. Our model includes two competing host species, a macroparasite capable of serving as a vector, and the vector-borne microparasite. Genetic algorithms are used to simulate genetic change; we are particularly interested in the evolution of pathogen virulence. The simulation system employs cellular automata to track individual organisms distributed over a two-dimensional lattice. Our models are able to identify each individual's parentage, and to account for both biotic and abiotic spatial heterogeneity. Using the developed system we conducted a series of experiments to demonstrate how individual-based modeling and explicit representation of space, although computationally expensive, can produce qualitatively new biological results.
我们描述了一系列生物模型的逐步改进,从而形成了一个高性能的模拟系统,用于与空间明确的流行病过程相关的共同进化动力学的基于个体的模型。我们的模型包括两种相互竞争的宿主,一种是能够作为媒介的大寄生虫,另一种是媒介传播的微寄生虫。遗传算法用于模拟遗传变化;我们对病原体毒力的进化特别感兴趣。模拟系统采用元胞自动机来跟踪分布在二维晶格上的个体生物。我们的模型能够识别每个个体的父母,并解释生物和非生物的空间异质性。使用开发的系统,我们进行了一系列实验,以证明基于个体的建模和空间的显式表示,尽管计算成本很高,但可以产生定性的新生物学结果。

Issues and concerns in Internet based financial applications: an example from an auto finance system 基于互联网的金融应用中的问题与关注:以汽车金融系统为例
C. Danis, L. Jones, Richard Thompson, Stephen E. Levy
The Internet is an important resource for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer commerce. Its advantages over private networks are often overshadowed by concerns about using public networks for commercial transactions. We present a case study that describes adoption of an Internet-based auto finance system by a financial institution and multiple auto dealerships. We discuss four issues that we needed to solve in order for the system to be accepted. These are: the implications of the open nature of the Internet on existing business-to-consumer relationships; security of enterprise data and systems; ensuring connectivity across enterprises; and the management of information assets generated by large volumes of electronic transactions.
对于企业对企业和企业对消费者的商务来说,因特网是一个重要的资源。它相对于私有网络的优势常常被使用公共网络进行商业交易的担忧所掩盖。我们提出了一个案例研究,描述了一家金融机构和多家汽车经销商采用基于互联网的汽车金融系统。我们讨论了四个需要解决的问题,以使该系统被接受。它们是:互联网的开放性对现有企业对消费者关系的影响;企业数据和系统安全;确保跨企业的连通性;以及对大量电子交易产生的信息资产的管理。

Implementation of information technology in developing countries: experiences of a Mongolian Internet service provider 发展中国家信息技术的实施:蒙古互联网服务提供商的经验
H. Enns, S. Huff
Internet service providers (ISPs) in developing countries experience great difficulties in the implementation of technologies that provide access to the Internet. These difficulties are due to technical challenges, such as poor telecommunication infrastructure, lack of technological readiness, inadequate technical skills and training, financial barriers, and the like. Oftentimes they require assistance from non-government organizations to successfully implement these types of projects. This paper begins with an overview of the factors that lead to successful implementation of information technology projects in developing countries. A framework is then presented which categorizes these factors into environmental, technical, interorganizational, and intraorganizational components. The paper then reports the efforts of one company in implementing a series of telecommunications projects to allow access to the Internet for Mongolian companies, governmental organizations and others. The paper concludes by applying the framework developed earlier to illustrate how successful implementation in the developing country context can be explained.
发展中国家的互联网服务提供商在实施提供互联网接入的技术方面遇到了很大的困难。这些困难是由于技术挑战造成的,例如电信基础设施差、缺乏技术准备、技术技能和培训不足、财务障碍等等。他们通常需要非政府组织的协助才能成功地实施这类项目。本文首先概述了导致发展中国家成功实施信息技术项目的因素。然后提出一个框架,将这些因素分类为环境、技术、组织间和组织内组件。文章随后报道了一家公司实施一系列电信项目的努力,这些项目允许蒙古公司、政府机构和其他机构接入互联网。最后,本文运用了之前制定的框架来说明如何解释在发展中国家背景下的成功实施。

Implementation predictors of formal information technology strategy 正式信息技术战略的实施预测因素
Petter Gottschalk
The need for improved implementation of information technology (IT) strategy has been emphasised in both empirical and prescriptive research studies. In this study, the main research question is: "what content characteristics of formal IT strategy predict the extent of plan implementation?" Ten content characteristics of formal information technology strategy were identified from the research literature as potential implementation predictors. These, were descriptions of: i) resources needed for the implementation; ii) user involvement during the implementation; iii) analyses of the organisation; iv) anticipated changes in the external environment; v) solutions to potential resistance during the implementation; vi) information technology to be implemented; vii) projects' relevance to the business plan; viii) responsibility for the implementation; ix) management support for the implementation; and x) implementation issues clearly. The literature reviewed provides evidence that research and theory in the field of IT strategy implementation have moved beyond the early stages making a sample survey appropriate to meet concerns about generalisation of results. The survey was conducted in Norway in 1997.
改进信息技术(IT)战略实施的必要性在实证研究和规范研究中都得到了强调。在本研究中,主要的研究问题是:“正式的IT战略的哪些内容特征可以预测计划实施的程度?”从研究文献中确定了正式信息技术战略的十个内容特征作为潜在的实施预测因子。这些描述是:i)执行所需的资源;Ii)在实施过程中用户的参与;Iii)组织分析;Iv)预期的外部环境变化;V)实施过程中潜在阻力的解决方案;(六)拟实施的信息技术;Vii)项目与商业计划的相关性;八)实施责任;Ix)对实施的管理支持;x)实施问题明确。文献综述提供的证据表明,IT战略实施领域的研究和理论已经超越了早期阶段,使样本调查适合于满足对结果概括的关注。这项调查于1997年在挪威进行。

The relation between outsourcing and the return from corporate IT spending: perceptions from practitioners 外包与企业IT支出回报之间的关系:从业人员的看法
J. Senn, D. Gefen
Information technology (IT) may be viewed as a strategic asset or as a utility. The view a company holds not only influences the return it expects to receive from IT investments, but also its decisions regarding outsourcing. This paper reports research conducted to examine the association between these issues from the viewpoints of experienced executives, managers and consultants in comparison with those of veteran IT professionals. The findings show that results expected from outsourcing are changing. Moreover, understanding the areas where managers and IT professionals agree and where they differ provides valuable insights into strategies for gaining adequate returns on IT spending.
信息技术(IT)可以被视为一种战略资产或一种实用工具。公司持有的观点不仅会影响其期望从it投资中获得的回报,还会影响其有关外包的决策。本文报告了从经验丰富的高管、经理和顾问的角度与经验丰富的IT专业人员的角度比较这些问题之间的联系所进行的研究。调查结果表明,外包的预期结果正在发生变化。此外,了解管理人员和IT专业人员的一致和不同之处,可以为获得足够的IT支出回报提供有价值的见解。

Conversation as publishing: the role of news forums on the Web 对话即出版:新闻论坛在网络上的角色
A. Light, Y. Rogers
The development of the World Wide Web has allowed publishers to move away from traditional newspaper models of news presentation to introduce more flexible products that offer both an information source and more scope for interaction with and between users. The opportunity to involve users more in the creation of news content has been exploited in various ways, for instance as discussion forums or as visitor responses to particular questions. This paper reports on an experiment investigating one from of this new kind of interaction, drawing on data from an e-mail questionnaire sent to visitors to The Guardian newspaper's Election 97 Web site, who observed or participated in a series of themed discussion forums in the run-up to the 1997 British general election. We present an evaluation of the visitors' behaviour in the forums, their motivation and their perceptions of the discussion space. We discuss the findings in relation to the underlying model of the Web site, pointing out how, despite the flexibility offered by this new mode of interaction, the traditional publisher-contributor relationship remains preferable to both users and developers.
万维网的发展使出版商能够摆脱传统的报纸新闻呈现模式,引入更灵活的产品,既提供信息源,又为用户之间的互动提供更大的空间。让用户更多地参与新闻内容创作的机会已经以各种方式被利用,例如作为讨论论坛或作为访问者对特定问题的回应。本文报道了一项实验,调查了这种新型互动中的一种,该实验利用了一份电子邮件问卷调查的数据,该问卷调查发给了卫报1997年选举网站的访问者,这些访问者在1997年英国大选前夕观察或参与了一系列主题讨论论坛。我们对访问者在论坛中的行为、他们的动机和他们对讨论空间的看法进行了评估。我们讨论了与Web站点的基础模型相关的发现,指出尽管这种新的交互模式提供了灵活性,但传统的发布者-贡献者关系对用户和开发人员来说仍然是更好的选择。

An intelligent agent for Web-based process redesign 用于基于web的流程重新设计的智能代理
M. Nissen
Process redesign is an expensive, time consuming and labor-intensive activity. Analysis of the redesign process indicates the "first generation" computer-based tools are inadequate for redesign today. Knowledge-based systems and intelligent agents have the ability to address the key, intellectual activities required for effective process redesign. An intelligent redesign agent called KOPeR is developed and employed, in an "industrial strength" reengineering engagement, to redesign processes from the procurement domain. This paper describes the KOPeR design and implementation and highlights its use as a redesign agent in the field. The field results reveal insights into the use, utility and potential of this agent technology, and the paper closes with a number of promising future directions for related research.

On lean messaging with wrapping and unfolding for E-commerce 关于电子商务中包装和展开的精益信息
S. Kimbrough, Yao-Hua Tan
EDI (electronic data interchange) messages are notoriously lean and difficult to interpret without additional information. While sympathising with the many criticisms that have been made of the design of EDI protocols, we argue that there is something basically correct in the noted leanness of EDI messages. We present a framework that describes how interpretation of EDI messages works, and indeed must work. Central elements of this framework are what we call wrapping and unfolding of messages. We demonstrate hour to exploit these concepts an formalizations for electronic commerce. In particular, we show how Kimbough's event semantics for speech acts (1997) and Tan's theory of directed obligation (1998) can be fit naturally and fruitfully into this framework, and to each other. Much work remains to be done, but the progress in formalization in evidence should be generalizable.
众所周知,EDI(电子数据交换)消息非常简洁,如果没有附加信息,就很难解释。虽然对EDI协议设计的许多批评表示同情,但我们认为EDI消息的简洁性中有一些基本正确的东西。我们提供了一个框架,它描述了EDI消息的解释是如何工作的,而且实际上必须工作。这个框架的核心要素是我们所说的消息的包装和展开。我们将演示如何将这些概念和形式化应用于电子商务。特别是,我们展示了Kimbough的言语行为事件语义(1997)和Tan的定向义务理论(1998)如何自然而富有成效地适应这个框架,并相互适应。还有许多工作要做,但证据形式化方面的进展应该是可推广的。

Leveraging traditional EDI investment using the Internet: a case study 利用因特网利用传统的EDI投资:一个案例研究
H. C. Mak, R. B. Johnston
For many large retail companies with many suppliers, the utopian vision of total paperless trading offered by traditional electronic data interchange (EDI), with its attendant efficiencies, has not been realized. Many small but operationally important suppliers lack enthusiasm for traditional EDI because it is expensive, complicated and they stand to gain little from it. This non-compliance prevents the large organization from realizing some of the most significant tactical benefits of EDI such as advanced supply chain reforms. This paper presents a case study of a large retail organization which is approaching this problem by integrating Internet-based EDI with its existing traditional EDI systems using an intelligent gateway. The case study is used to generate propositions about the future significance of Internet EDI.
对于许多拥有许多供应商的大型零售公司来说,传统电子数据交换(EDI)及其随之而来的效率所提供的完全无纸化交易的乌托邦愿景尚未实现。许多规模小但在运营上很重要的供应商对传统的EDI缺乏热情,因为它昂贵、复杂,而且他们从中获得的收益很少。这种不遵从性阻止了大型组织实现EDI的一些最重要的战术优势,例如先进的供应链改革。本文介绍了一个大型零售企业的案例研究,该企业通过使用智能网关将基于internet的EDI与现有的传统EDI系统集成来解决这一问题。通过案例分析,对互联网EDI的未来意义提出了建议。

Many small but operationally important suppliers lack enthusiasm for traditional EDI because it is expensive, complicated and they stand to gain little from it. This non-compliance prevents the large organization from realizing some of the most significant tactical benefits of EDI such as advanced supply chain reforms.
