A very important stage in a story of formation of any new science is the shift from discussion of situation which are possible but do not occur in practice due to some reason to recognition of real phenomena of interest. ... We suggest to consider computer viruses as this new specific form of life which is coming in the contact with our form of life. ... Computer life has been created by human being, the role of independent evolution of computer viruses seems to be still negligible. ...

Scoring Necessary step towards more automated certification Idea: · define key QC1 parameters , check new values against trending for those · evaluate compliance: o if new within defined range, ok o if outside: nok · user may focus on nok ones, while ok is certified automatically in `confidence mode ' Required: · configure set of key parameters per product · configure comparison mode o fixed: ...

... Discusses the role of a pipeline in the AXAF Science Center Data System. Due to the complexity of the application, a prototyping effort was initiated to evaluate the risks involved with portability, open architecture, error handling/recovery, and distributed processing. Processes in the pipeline are initiated and monitored by a process control application developed using Perl. ... During that time, a Process Control application was developed to allow us to assess the risk factors. ...

... The concept of continuous solar wind developed in 1950's. First, Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun , and explained the observed tail deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun. Then Parker (1959) showed that the solar corona must expand, and called the outward streaming coronal gas 'solar wind'. ... The expanding solar wind drags also the solar magnetic field outward, forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) . ...

... Critics analyze the design as it progresses. ... In [Fischer et al 1990] , several uses of critic systems are discussed, including supporting learning by offering criticism of solutions and/or methods of problem-solving; providing design environments which communicate with users in their domain language; and developing cooperative problem-solving systems which combine the talents of humans and computers to come up with the best solutions. ...
