This case study represents one of our most recent
legacy integration strategies for architecting both
HIPAA compliance and streamlining transaction costs for
an assisted living care enterprise.

compilation of useful web sites for software
developers based on Alex Measday's research. If you find a reference you think

MaximumPDA - "Your Personal
Data Assistance Source".
Palm Tipsheet - "Practical
Tips for Palm Handheld Users".
PalmPower Magazine
- "tips and techniques exclusively for Palm computer users"; see the
Enterprise
Edition for business-oriented (but interesting!) articles.
PalmStation - "News, Views and
Reviews to Feed the Need".
ACM Timeline of Computing -
includes a full timeline as well as timelines filtered for particular
categories of computing.
ClassicGaming - has a lot of
information on old video game equipment. hosts the Museum of Home
Video Games and a number of specialty web sites devoted to hardware
and software development for various systems:
In Pursuit of Simplicity:
The Manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra - has many of his writings,
including his Ph.D. thesis and the famous EWD-numbered manuscripts.
Unfortunately, the documents I looked at are simply page images in PDF format;
readable, yes, but searchable text or HTML files might be preferable.
Infocom - paying "homage to
the company that created some of the best computer games ever, period."
UNIVAC Memories -
"In 1971, John Walker figured out how to convert a multi-million dollar
room-sized UNIVAC 1108 mainframe into a Morse code practice oscillator with a
stand-alone, bootable operating system dedicated to that dubious application."
How can you stay away?
LinuxFocus - an
excellent on-line magazine - available in Dutch, English, French, German,
and Spanish translations ... with other languages on the way.
Eclipse - "a kind of universal
tool platform - an open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in
particular". (See the C/C++
IDE plugins currently under development.)
Squeak - a free, high-quality
Smalltalk implementation that has been ported to Windows 95 and NT,
Macintosh, most UNIX platforms, various PDAs, Acorn's RiscOS, OS/2, DOS,
BeOS, and NeXT.
Memo - "a distributed
shared memory system in which parallel processes communicate through a
shared directory of unordered queues". (Thomas Christopher)
WebOS - "provides OS
services to wide-area applications, including mechanisms for resource
discovery, a global namespace, remote process execution, resource management,
authentication, and security."
Peter G. Neumann - another
venerable computer scientist, well-known moderator of the Risks Forum newsgroup, and editor
of the "Inside
Risks" column in CACM. All of which is very well and good,
but the required reading on his lengthy home page begins with Mentors and extends to the final
quote on the page: "No. Mr. Noymann, 'cuz it's Joyman."
Keith Packard - X11 guru, etc., etc.
But, more importantly, author of the Layout widget! (Some years ago, I
incorporated the Layour widget into Jan Newmarch's tclmotif
package and got a lot of use out of it.)
Theo Pavlidis - pattern
recognition and windowing systems.
Error Message Collection -
originally a contest by O'Reilly & Associates, this collection of people's
favorite error messages has taken on a life of its own.
Advanced Programming
Languages - Jose Emilio Labra Gayo's well-organized collection of links
covering a broad range of material, including language theory, language
implementation, functional programming, logic programming, hybrid languages,
and other areas of research.
Rebol - a "messaging language
designed for networks and the Internet". On first impression, Rebol
(Relative Expression-Based Object Language) appears to be kind of like a
functional version of Perl.
NEC Research Index -
Computer Science Directory - is an extraordinary resource. An incredible
number of academic papers are categorized and indexed (search page). Each document has
its own page containing an abstract, links to on-line copies of the paper
(usually in PostScript and PDF format), links to papers in the index that
cite the given paper, links to related documents, and more.
The Assayer - "Book Reviews and
Discussion for the Free-Information Renaissance".
The Ganssle Group - not
surprisingly, has many articles by Jack Ganssle. Although these extremely
well-written and entertaining articles and columns primarily focus on embedded
systems programming, they are nonetheless worthwhile reading and have lessons
for software developers of any stripe.
IBM Technical Journals
- the IBM Journal of Research and Development and the IBM
Systems Journal.
Lockergnome - "Free Technology
E-mail Newsletters for the World's Most Curious Users".
Software Engineering Information
Repository - "a forum for the contribution and exchange of information
concerning software engineering improvement activities"; registration is
required, but free.
