Highlighting Shared Issues

Solidarity through shared disadvantage: Highlighting shared experiences of discrimination improves relations between stigmatized groups.

Intergroup relations research has largely focused on relations between members of dominant groups and members of disadvantaged groups. The small body of work examining intraminority intergroup relations, or relations between members of different disadvantaged groups, reveals that salient experiences of ingroup discrimination promote positive relations between groups that share a dimension of id...

New Resource Control Issues in Shared Clusters

We claim that the renting of machine resources on clusters of servers introduces new systems challenges which are different from those hitherto encountered, either in multimedia systems or cluster-based computing. We characterize the requirements for such “public computing platforms” and discuss both how the scenario differs from more traditional multimedia resource control situations, and how ...

Issues in Personalizing Shared Ubiquitous Devices

As ubiquitous computing becomes widespread, we are increasingly coming into contact with “shared” computer-enhanced devices, such as cars, televisions, and photocopiers. Our interest is in identifying general issues in personalizing such shared everyday devices. Our approach is to compare alternative personalization methods by deploying and using alternative personalization interfaces (portable...

Resource Management Issues for Shared-Memory Multiprocessors

Shared-memory multiprocessors (SMPs) are attractive as general-purpose compute servers. On the software side, they present the same programming paradigm as uniprocessors, and they can run unmodified uniprocessor binaries. On the hardware side, the tight coupling of multiple processors, memory, and I/O provides enormous computing power in a single system, and enables the efficient sharing of the...
