whitepaper Design and Implementation of an Extrusion-Based Break-In Detector for Personal Computers2006-04-13 05:46:25 University of California
  An increasing variety of malware, such as worms, spyware and adware, threatens both personal and business computing. Remotely controlled both networks of compromised systems are growing quickly. This paper tackles the problem of automated detection of break-ins caused by unknown malware targeting personal computers. A host based system, BINDER (Break-IN DEtectoR) is developed to detect break-ins by capturing user unintended malicious outbound connections (referred to as extrusions). To infer user intent, BINDER correlates outbound connections with user-driven input at the process level under the assumption that user intent is implied by user-driven input. Thus BINDER can detect a large class of unknown malware such as worms, spyware and adware without requiring signatures.   
whitepaper SAM: Semantics Aware Instant Messaging for the Networked Semantic Desktop2005-10-04 University of Koblenz-Landau
  While Instant Messaging (IM) became a mature communication means in business organizations over the last years, IM systems did not follow this evolution comparably. Communicated content is often stored insufficiently and hard to recall, integration into other desktop applications impossible. This paper addresses these shortcomings and provides concepts for novel instant messaging. In contrast to prior work such as the Haystack system, which integrates IM data into a personal information management application, they enhance IM based on a ready to integrate ontological meta model that introduces semantics to instant messaging and its content to foster advanced management. In particular, they address networked exchange of semantic meta information to integrate IM into the Networked Semantic Desktop.

whitepaper Spinner: A Haptic Recon?gurable Interface2006-01-04 01:01:52 Hewlett-Packard
  This paper reports on our recent development of a reconfigurable user interface. The authors have created a system that consists of a dial type of controller 'Spinner,' and the virtual controller objects. One physical controller corresponds to one virtual controller on a PC's display device, and a user can freely change the connection on the .y (i.e. associate the physical controller to another virtual controller). 'Spinner' is versatile and can be used for many purposes that need connections between virtual controllers and physical controllers. By using this system, a user can build a reconfigurable user interface.   
whitepaper Paving the Road to a PC Refresh2005-09-14 16:27:14
  If you've got aging computers with low memory and lagging speed, your end users' productivity is undoubtedly hampered. Of course, enterprise PC refreshes require significant investments beyond an initial outlay for hardware and software. You must also take into account the costs associated with installation, training, administration, technical support, and eventual disposal. Download this on-demand Webinar from Insight and Lenovo for a comprehensive discussion of the PC refresh cycle and what you need to consider as you plan for yours.   
whitepaper Toward Equality of Access: The Role of Public Libraries in Addressing the Digital Divide2005-09-01 03:00:04 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
  Ninety-five percent of public libraries in the United States offer free access to computers and the Internet, often providing the only Internet access for residents of the nation's poorest areas. This paper evaluates the importance of these library-based computers in addressing the digital divide. Drawing from government statistics and independent research, the paper finds widespread acceptance of library-based computer and Internet access from patrons and librarians.
