Subject: Personal Cluster Computer
Dear NA Digest members,
Rocketcalc announces Redstone, the first personal cluster computer.
Approximately the size of a mid-tower PC (17x11x19.5in), Redstone
contains eight Pentium processors connected by 100Mbps switched ethernet
and up to 8GB PC-133 SDRAM. Redstone runs on Motor, an embedded Linux
distribution developed by Rocketcalc, and is easily managed by Houston
graphical cluster management software. Redstone is designed to be
easily integrated with Linux workstations and includes a CD-ROM
collection of the most popular message-passing libraries and parallel
utilities. Redstone is well-suited to parallel high-performance
scientific computation, parallel application development, and classroom use.

Subject: Conference in Montreal on Software Maintenance
IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance 2002
Sponsored by IEEE
ICSM-2002, Montreal, Canada, 3-6 October 2002
http://www.icsm2002.org
icsm2002.info@unisannio.it
Call for Papers
Theme: Maintaining distributed heterogeneous systems
ICSM is the major international conference in the field of software and
systems maintenance, evolution, and management. This year's theme
elaborates on last year's theme of "systems and software evolution in the
era of the internet". Standalone legacy applications of yesterday and
novel applications using today's technologies are rapidly becoming
integrated as part of enterprise-wide and industry-wide systems. The need
for rapid integration has led to many distributed heterogeneous systems
that are very challenging to maintain and evolve.
ICSM 2002 will address these new scenarios and the major challenges on
maintenance and evolution. The focus of the conference will be on the new
challenges that heterogeneous systems pose for software maintenance, and
the new opportunities for researchers and practitioners. A main goal of
ICSM is to promote interaction between researchers and practitioners. ICSM
2002 will bring together researchers, practitioners, developers and users
of tools, technology transfer experts, and project managers.
Jon Pincus (Microsoft) will describe how Microsoft handles software
enhancements. Other outstanding Keynote speakers are being arranged. Past
conferences have had Parnas, Rombach, McCabe, and Jacobson.
ICSM-2002 will offer technical presentations and demonstrations from
academia and industry. We are particularly interested in exchanging
concepts, prototypes, research ideas, and other results that could
contribute to the academic arena and also benefit business and the
industrial community. ICSM 2002 will be participatory, with working
collaborative sessions and presentations of industry projects.
The Conference will be held in conjunction with:
WESS -- Workshop on Empirical Studies of Software Maintenance.
SCAM -- Source Code Analysis and Manipulation
WSE -- Workshop on WEBsite Evolution
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following aspects
of maintenance and evolution:
- Methods and theories - Maintenance and/or productivity metrics
- Organizational frameworks - Preventive maintenance
- Design for maintenance - Tools and environments
- Life cycle and process control - Models/methods for error prediction
- User interface evolution - Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
- Third party maintenance - Freeware and open source applications
- Program comprehension - Software and system visualisation
- Knowledge based systems - Measurement of software
- Formal methods - Legal aspects and standards
- Software reusability - Internet and distributed systems
- Empirical studies - Testing and regression testing
- Remote, tele-work - Version and configuration management
- Processes and strategies - Management and organisation
- Co-operative applications - Source code analysis and manipulation
- Processes and strategies - Impact of new software practices
- Programming languages - Reengineering and reverse engineering
- Multimedia systems

Subject: PhD Studentship at University of Leeds
Industrial CASE - EPSRC
Participants: Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of
Leeds, Department of Mining at the University of Leeds, British Nuclear
Fuel Limited (BNFL).
Title of Project: LIMITED ACCESS REMOTE SENSING USING INVERSE PROBLEM TECHNIQUES
Summary of Research Programme:
The accumulation of solids in process pipes and vessels is a generic problem
within the process industries. For BNFL the accumulation of solids that are
gamma emitters is especially important and a range of traditional techniques
have already been investigated to detect and monitor such events. It is
most common however that an accumulation is not detected until after a full
blockage has occurred. Conventional instrumentation therefore is
insufficient for the task. Industrial process tomography offers more
advanced sensing technology at the cost of being far more complex. In
particular there are significant issues relating to the solution of inverse
problems. These issues are heightened when only limited access to vessels
is available.
Leeds University can provide both the expertise in the solution methods of
inverse problems and the experience of applications of industrial process
tomography. Tomographic techniques offer the ability to estimate both the
physical dimensions of the accumulation of solids and the strength of gamma
radiation. The application of passive gamma-ray tomography (termed emission
tomography for medical applications) has good prospects but it is necessary
first to determine the validity of this technique in terms of the stability
of the solution. Further stabilization might be achieved by fusion of
measurements from another tomographic modality such as tomographic thermal
imaging.
This project seeks to determine how the problem can be formulated in terms
of sources, gamma-ray absorption coefficients and thermal conductivities to
yield a stable solution from a limited numbers of measurements with limited
accuracy. There is also the prospect of the provision of instrumentation at
the design stage of new installations to enable continuous monitoring. For
this the measurements must be optimized to permit a cost-effective installation.
Terms
Preference will be given to applicants with a strong background in scientific
computing and/or engineering mathematics.
The award is open to UK nationals or to EU nationals who have been resident
in the UK for the last three years. The scholarship provides full tuition fees,
and a stipend of over 10,900 pounds per year free of tax. The stipend consists
of 3,400 pounds from BNFL, plus the standard EPSRC postgraduate grant which
is set at 7,500 pounds per year in 2001/2002). In addition, there will be
the opportunity to undertake tutorials and marking to be paid at an hourly rate.
Subject to University candidature regulations and good academic standing,
the award is tenable for three years, starting as early as possible in the
period April - September 2002.

Send full C.V. to Dr.D.Lesnic before 15 February 2002. Early submissions are
