Large-Scale Collections Under The Magnifying Glass: Format Identification For Web Archives

Institutions that perform web crawls in order to gather heritage collections have millions – or even billions – of files encoded in thousands of different formats about which they barely know anything. Many of these heritage institutions are members of the International Internet Preservation Consortium, whose Preservation Working Group decided to address the issues related to format identificat...

A Magnifying Glass Approach to Augmented Reality Systems

This paper proposes a novel way to realize augmented reality (AR) systems. Unlike previous AR systems, which use head-mounted or head-up displays, our approach employs a palmtop-sized video see-through device to present computer augmented view of the real world. This conguration, which w e call the magnifying glass approach, has several advantages over traditional head-up or head-mounted congur...

Sensor Network Bugs under the Magnifying Glass

If the vision of large, long-lived wireless sensor networks serving the society is to become reality, deployment and durable maintenance need much more attention. Both these issues require the ability to first diagnose, and then fix occurring problems. While there are solutions for fixing problems, an appropriate diagnostic infrastructure is essentially still lacking. Our position is that diagn...
