whitepaper The Scoop on the New CCNA and CCNP Specializations2009-08-25 Global Knowledge
  There has been a lot of interest among students lately on the details surrounding the CCNA specializations and their relationship with the corresponding CCNP specializations. These specializations were introduced in the summer of 2008. The purpose of this white paper is to put all the related information into one concise reference document.

whitepaper Data Modeling: It's All About the Relationships2009-03-30 Quest Software
  Unsuccessful data models are due to many factors - uncertainty about the concepts or the business requirements, lack of solid training for the programmer and even trying to be effective before efficient. Also, successful database modeling requires an understanding of relationships and their corresponding foreign keys.

In this new Quest white paper, Bert Scalzo discusses the importance of relationships in database modeling. See what you need to focus on in order to succeed when considering data models, and the misconceptions that can cause your data modeling to go wrong. Read it today.

whitepaper Varonis Customer Success Story: Children's Hospital and Health System (CHHS)2008-04-23 Varonis
  Find out why CHHS of Milwaukee chose Varonis® DatAdvantage® for the organization's data access and permissions auditing needs. The hospital found that there was no other way to effectively audit data access on Windows file shares than though full data access auditing with minimal performance impact.

whitepaper JR: Flexible Distributed Programming in an Extended Java2009-01-01 University of California
  Java provides a clean object-oriented programming model and allows for inherently system-independent programs. Unfortunately, Java has a limited concurrency model, providing only threads and Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The JR programming language extends Java to provide a rich concurrency model. JR provides dynamic remote virtual machine creation, dynamic remote object creation, remote method invocation, asynchronous communication, rendezvous, and dynamic process creation. JR programs are written in an extended Java and then translated into standard Java programs. The JR run-time support system is also written in standard Java. This paper describes the JR programming language and its implementation.

whitepaper The Componentware Revolution (Part II)2009-01-01
  Resolving the software crisis requires fundamental changes in systems thinking, software processes, and technology utilization. The next major era of technology, The Componentware Revolution, contains key elements of the crisis solution. The componentware approach introduces a set of closely interrelated techniques and technologies. Componentware introduces a sophisticated mindset for generating business results. Componentware can be understood as a reincarnation of object-orientation and other software technologies. What distinguishes componentware from previous generations of technology are four principles: encapsulation, polymorphism, late binding, and safety. This list overlaps with object-orientation, except that it eliminates the emphasis on inheritance. In component thinking, inheritance is as a tightly-coupled, white box relationship that is unsuitable for most forms of packaging and reuse.

whitepaper The Componentware Revolution2009-01-01
  Many have serious misconceptions about the capabilities of current software approaches. Based upon surveys of corporate software projects in the United States, the realities of software development are as follows. About one third of all software projects are cancelled. Average projects expend twice as much budget and schedule as initially planned. After delivery, the majority of systems are considered unsuccessful because they have far fewer capabilities than expected. Modifying and extending systems are the most expensive cost drivers and very likely to create new defects. Overall, the outcomes of virtually all application software projects are stovepipe systems, brittle software architectures that under-perform on requirements.

whitepaper Innovative Software Architecture (Part I)2009-01-01
  There are many active and successful schools of software architecture thought. Software architecture is a discipline unified by principles, but divided by terminology. The various architecture schools can be viewed as different branches of an evolutionary progression. The Zachman Framework has evolved from the traditional non-OO approaches. ODP is an outgrowth from object-oriented and distributed computing paradigms that has achieved stability, multi-industry acceptance, and formal standardization. Both Zachman and ODP approaches have enjoyed significant success in production-quality software development. Domain analysis has demonstrated its worth in defining robust domain-specific software architectures for reuse. The 4+1 View Model is an approach undergoing development, in parallel with the Unified Process. All of the above can be described as innovative software architecture approaches.

whitepaper Mostly-Functional Behavior in Java Programs2008-10-31 University of Wisconsin
  This paper presents a lightweight type-and-effect system for Java programs that features two major innovations over extant object-oriented effects systems: initialization effects, which are writes to an object's state while it is being constructed, and quiescing fields, which are fields that are never written after an object is constructed. The paper also presents a novel taxonomy of degrees of method purity in object-oriented programs, which characterizes methods whose effects are confined to their receiver object.
