. 10 Commandments Exodus 20v2..17
 I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of  the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.
 You shall not have other gods besides me.

 You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape ofanything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;l

 you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their fathers wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third & fourth generation; but bestowing mercy down to the thousandth generation, on the children of those who love me & keep my commandments.

  You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain. For the Lord will not leave unpunished him who takes his name in vain. 

 Remember to keep holy the sabbath day.
 Six days you may labor and do all your work,
 but the seventh day is the sabath of the Lord, your God. No work may be done by you, or son & daughter, or your male  slave, or your beast, or by the alien who lives with you.
 In six days the Lord made the heavens & the earth, the sea & all that is in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord has blessed the sabath day and made it holy.

 Honor your father & your mother, that you may have a long life in the land which the Lord, your God, is giving to you.

 You shall  not kill.

 You shall  not commit adultery.

 You shall  not steal.

 You shall  not bear false witness against your neighbor.

  You shall  not covet your neighbor's house. You shall  not covet your neighbor's wife or female slave, nor his ox or ass, nor anything else that belongs to him.

.Open 19 TIPS FOR AGILE REQUIREMENTS MODELING
 "Active stakeholder participation is crucial." 
 "Software must be based on requirements."
 "Nothing should be built that doesn't satisfy a requirement." 
Your system should be based on the requirements, the whole 
requirements, and nothing but the requirements.
 "The goal is mutual understanding, not documentation." 
 "Requirements come from stakeholders, not developers." 
 "Use your stakeholders' terminology."
 "Publicly display models." 
 "Requirements change over time." .
 "Requirements must be prioritized."
 "Requirements only need to be good enough."
 "Use simple, inclusive tools and techniques."
 "You'll still need to explain the techniques -- even the simple 
ones."
  "Most requirements should be technology independent." I cringe 
when I hear terms such as "object-oriented", "structured" or 
"component-based" requirements. These terms are all categories of 
implementation technologies and therefore reflect architectural and 
design issues.  
 "Some requirements are technical."
 "You need multiple models." 
 "You need only a subset of the models." 
 "The underlying process determines some artifacts." 
 "Take a breadth-first approach." 
 "Start at your enterprise business model."

This column was drawn from Chapter 4 of my forthcoming book, The 
Object Primer, 3rd Edition: Agile Model Driven Development with 
UML 2 (Cambridge University Press, January 2004).

 Accept the statement of authority without basis, without question.
 Disagree with the statement  without basis, out of general contrariness.
 Perhaps  the statement is true, but what if it isn't? How then to account for the phenomenon?
 How much of  the statement rationalizes to suit man's purpose that he and his shall be ascendent at the center of things?
 What if the minor becomes major, the recessive dominant, the obscure prevalent?
  What if the statement were reversible, that which is considered effect is really cause?
  What if the natural law perceived in one field also operates unperceived in all other phases of science.  What if there be only one natural law manifesting itself, as yet, to us in many facets because we cannot apperceive the whole, of which we have gained only the most elementary glimpses, with which we can cope only at the crudest level?

And are those still other doors, yet undefined, on down the corridor?

Wi-Fi is another name for 802.11b  coined by  the Wireless Ethernet Compatability Alliance, or WECA. 

open standard for wireless communication unlicensed 
spectrum at 2.4 gigahertz, omnidirectional range 200 feet.

The 2.4-gigahertz part of the radio spectrum is shared by microwave ovens, cordless phones and baby monitors. An 802.11b base station, about the size of a hardcover book, can send signals 200 feet in any direction. up to 11 megabits per second. 

802.11s mesh networking standard that could be ratified by early 2007, reported Motorola Mesh Networking Group executive Joe Hamilla. Hamilla said the IEEE task force has approved the 802.11s proposals, which are now open to comment. "With the standard will come ubiquity for the mesh networking concept, and we anticipate a major build up in demand next year," he said. "It will become mainstream in the near future." Approval for a mesh technology standard has been relatively free of difficulty, and a pair of competing proposals from the Wi-Mesh Alliance and the SEEMesh Alliance were integrated into a single specification. The meshing of Wi-Fi hot spots turns them into an interconnected network that can cover an area with wireless broadband connectivity, and mesh-enabled access points not only deliver Wi-Fi to users, but also function as routers/repeaters for other access points. This establishes a wireless broadband cloud that can organize and repair itself, lowering the cost of backhaul, implementation, and system engineering.

Give us, Lord,

a bit of work and a bit of fun.
Give us in all the struggle and sputter
Our daily bread and a bit of butter;
Give us health and out keep to make,
And a bit to spare for other's sake;
Give us, too, a bit of song,
And a tale, and a book to help us along.
Give us, Lord, achance to be
Our goodly best, brave, wise and free.

Can you find c, and n0?

Look at the contrapositive!
 if f(n)>c*g(n) then n<n0.

Some Notes on the bigO Asymptotic Formula used in Computer Science

Follows and extends Brassard & Brately 1988 "Algorithmics" PHI.

Motivation:  the standard way to represent the efficiency of algorithms.  The order of a function ignores small values (which don't matter very much in most practical situations) and the speed up effects of changing a platform.

Definitions
 P:=Positive & Real.
 F:= Nat -> P.
 For f:F, O(f)::={ t: F. for some c:P, n0:Nat, all n:n0..( t(n) <= c * f(n) )}.
 For f:F, \Omega(f)::={ t: F. for some c:P, n0:Nat, all n:n0..( t(n) >= c * f(n) )}. 
For f:F, \Theta(f)::=O(f) & \Omega(f).

 For f,g,h:F, c:P, n,n0:Nat.

 1::F= map [n](1).

Abuse of notation: we traditionally write an expression containing `n` to indicate the function of `n` in F. So for example `n` is short for the `identity` function `map [n](n)`.

Expressions that have functions as arguments: (f+g for example) are interpreted pointwise.
	(f+g)(i) = f(i)+f(i).

Expressions of sets of functions (like 20+O(f)) mean taking all possible combinations:

  (STANDARD)|- f =[O] g iff O(f)=O(g).
. Note on Proofs
Proofs that some f in O(g) from the definitions can be challenging because we often have to guess the values of c and n0.  There is a lot to be said for memorizing the 15 or so results below and use these to work out the orders of a function.

.Open Cooper99 User Interfaces
. Problems
 Cognitive friction.
 programming is difficult! programming + interaction design  is impossible! 
Triangle := business  + enginering + design.
 dick: `with no designers the users get shafted`.
 Homo Logicus:  prefer to pilot the plane than be a passenger - choosing to fight complexity to gain control.  They want to understand how things work more than use them - prefer a dismantled a clock that they understand to one that works. They are interlectual jocks - superior by making others feel stupid.
 False goals - technical with 0 user value.

. solution
 first catch your user. Personas; Goals; Scenarios.
 persona := `a precise named picture of an imaginary user and his/her goals/motivation`. Not broad but precise - even if wrong!  Not sets or averages but individuals. Not edge cases. Not a buyer who won't use it. 
 Design for one user only. "We are designing for Rosemary not somebody".
 cast := 3..12 personae.  May include  some negative personas that we are `not` designing for.
 How happy do we need each to be?  -> select a few Prime personas.
 personas have goals ( purposes / ends) that are personal and practical. There are also corporate goals.

 Tasks are not goals, they lead to goals. Tasks depend on technology but goals stay the same. Tasks often seem to oppose their goals ( war vs peace ). Tasks are transient and goals permanent.
Goals may involve many tasks but the tasks must not disguise or block their goal.
 Let user achieve practical goals without violating personal goals. cf. London: `make system run down hill`. See motivation theory. Politeness!
 Scenarios := concise description of how a persona achieves a goal.  Act them out to test a design. Play the part of the specific user, not the computer.  daily use + necessary use + edge cases.  Product success depends on handling the first two, The code must also handle the last.
 Interaction design focusses on daily and necessary scenarios - both must need to be learned quickly but only daily uses need shortcuts and customization.
 inflect the interace: daily uses are prominent, the options are out of normal sight.  
  Most people will be somewhere between beginner and experts.  But programmers write for experts and marketers sell to beginners. Therefore design for perpetual intermediates.
 Techniques: pretend its magic, make a vocabulary, break open cliches, lateral thinking
 Good design is like service in a good restaurent - invisibly smoothing the experience.  It is also frustrating because afterwards the good solution is obvious: "of course the wheel is round".

. non-solutions
 Programming is poring the concrete, so do the design first.
 Usability testing detects problems but won't give you better ideas.
 Style guides may not fit your particular user's goals.
 Focus groups of users tell you what is bad but don't come up with good design ideas.
 Graphic design can paint the corpse but not make it live.
 Industrial design makes it fit the hands not the user's sequential needs.
 New technology/media is likely to be as frustrating as the old.
 Iteration is slow, expensive, abusive, and needs a rock solid brand name.

. management
Riding the tiger. Chasing autos ( marketting, coders, sales, ... ).
 Dragged to follow customers: feature accretion into a dog's breakfast; give up leadership. brains or gray hair.
 Need long view, responsibility, time, ...	like the movies: pre-production, production, post-production. The pre phase plans to save time and money in production.  During production managers fetch the pizza.
 Design documents are equivalent to code: complete, specific, detailed, blueprints.  Spiral structure. What vs how.
 Programmers are not responsible for the user's experience - they solve the technical problems.

 domains: machine, designed, given.
 domains: symbolic/lexical, causal, biddable.
 Domains are shared between subproblems.	Each subproblem has its own machine.  Do NOT put two or more subproblems into a single diagram.

Diagrams: context, problem, problem frame, statediagram, tree diagrams(JSP).

Description domains: symbolic and describes a requirement refering to phenomena in other domains.

Requirements refer to domains and constrain domains.

Connections/interfaces are phenomena shared between two or more domins.

Shared events normally have one controlling domain.

Interfaces can be causal, symbolic, or a set of shared events,

A connection domain describes indirect and complex connection between domains.

	content:= E | K| U | D | O, E=dataEntry, K=checK, U=Update, D=Decision, O=Output.
  Tasks involve entities.  
 LC:=" life cycle".
 An entity life cycle is a defined sequence of stages but an entity may not progress thru the stages in such a simple way.  Office work may backtrack, hangup, fail, or multitask parts of stages at one time.  Stages may not be omitted.  Backtracking (a `setback`) means handling side-effects: beneficent, neutral, and intolerable. cf $JSP.
	If a stage contains a task that fails then the current life cycle fails and initiates a different one instead.
	Stages determine states:  State = ("In" | "Failed" | "Awaiting" | "Halted" ) stage.
	Within a Stage many tasks can execute in parallel.  some can spawn (one|many (inclusive | exclusive)) subtasks (sometimes). One subtask can be spawned by many tasks, and a subtasks can restart their parent tasks (in a loop).
	Task states = null; start; (n/a | run | failed | passed).  passed states do not spawn subtasks, run states must start their subtasks.  Task states determine lifecycle states.
  There are rules for assigning tasks to stages.
  One life cycle can depend on another one.  Changing stage depends on one(or all) other linked entities of a given type is|are past a certain stage.  Tasks can start and halt other life cycles.
  Entities are placed in classes. Classes form a `heterarchy` -- multiple inheritance.  Also classification entities -- classes of objects each defining a class of object!
  Entities play roles in entity life cycles.  roles require only a subset of the attributes,  Also several types of entity can play the part in a single role.
  Datasets are structured  navigation paths between entity types.  `from A access one B and many Cs`.  They are chosen to fit tasks.
 Programs support tasks - within task context and using task content. actions include SET_RESULT, START_LC, SUSPEND_LC, RESUME_LC, CANCEL_LC, SETBACK_LC, WAIT..., SIMPLE_CHECK, COMPLEX_CHECK, SIMPLE_SET, APPLICABLE_WHEN.  Some tasks must not be repeated, others may be repeated when backtracking.
 Decision Tables!
 Tasks and life cycle mainly define wrong sequences.  Work flows help get good things done.	Work flows are about scheduling, options, menus, and efficiency.  Work flows are based on a relational data base:
 task_details:=Net{
 Each task is in a stage of a life cycle of an entity.
 Each task has a task_type that has a program, data set, and a set of skills.
 Tasks are related to users who can/should do them by Skills and by stages and depts for example. 
}.
  Detailed reporting and so tuning of the workflows.
 Life cycle definitions and the office workflow are also held in the data base. "Process representations become data".  Process data is PLANs and FEATUREs. 
 The only purpose of documentation is understanding.... but if documentation is in a data base is also useful to the software.

Advice from Desrochers & Cheal of CSUN

Design: Choose the right layout, line, scale, color, movement, and timing.

Good Layouts: Heading and picture, bar graph, 4 or 5 bullets... Empty space.	NO PARAGRAPHS.

Mix layouts.  Avoid the "machine gun" bullets.

Scale: Big is seen as most important. Minimum font 16pt, San Serif.  Big text is better than small.  Big hall->big text.

Color: moods and style rather than content.  Careful that foreground contrasts background.

Avoid laser: program a red circle cursor.

Movement: Don't animate it -- unless it is special, meaningful, or to get attention.

DO NOT do the slides first.
 (1) Plan, (2) write, (3) illustrate, (4) edit without mercy. 

Share metaphors, stories, & analogies verbally.

Find ways to find out audience experiences/needs and link to them.

Find ways to allow/encourage thinking about the data, making plans, doing things. 

Technology.  Check it out before hand: systems and visibility.  Turn off sleep mode. 

If you handout notes.... do it last!

 Refers to W.R. Bion: "Experiences in Groups": 
Groups of people become both collections of individuals and a self-coordinating  entitiy.
Therapeutic groups tend to: talk sex, identify external enemies, and religiously venerate something.
Need for structure for groups to work.
In particular rules for creating rules...
 Examples of BBSs, Usenet, .... where open free group is invaded.
 Therefore need structure in social systems.
 Technology (TCP/IP, WiFi, IM, Mobile phones, ...) now lets all people be online together.
 Example. Ito's Conference call moderated on chat with wiki for references.
 For a given technology -- most groups fail!
 Accept:
.List
 Social and technical issues are intertwingled: they can not be separated niether does the technical drive the social. 
The system will have antics -- emergent properties.
There will be a formal rules and informal rules.
 Members are not just users. 
There will be an onion structure. 
Example: reader -> anonimous coward  -> named person  -> moderator.
The Core subgroup love and weed the garden that others wander through (and vandalize?).  = Volunteer fire department.
 `One user = one vote` does not work when anybody can be a user.

 Things to design for

 Give members a handle -- stable local name.  So they get a reputation.
 Make a simple way for behavior to be visible --  who is in good standing?
 Make it difficult to enter the core subgroups.

. Thats funny
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 15:17:15 GMT
From: Jim Thompson <jim.thompson@pobox.com>
Subject: Re: Cancelling errors, serendipity in avoiding risks, and Kepler

In reading Henry Baker's thoughtful article, I am strongly reminded of
something the late Isaac Asimov once said: 

	The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds  new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..."

Asimov's point is similar to Baker's: that discovery is more driven by
the desire to understand mistakes, discrepancies, and other "funnies"
than by pure intellectual will.

. Christiansen Inventors dilema
The Innovators Dilemma: when new technologies cause great firms to fail.
 Doing the right things(research, listening to customers, finding improvements and  profits ) helps an organisation FAIL to develop NEW markets/values that ultimately eclipse the old ones.
 Disruptive technology re-creates the market with new values and metrics but initially shows  lower profits, performance, and a smaller  market.
 Disruptive tech discovers new customers that fit the new tech.
  Disruptive is downmarket: less performance at a lower price, higher convenience, and/or higher reliabillity. 
 Survival: create small separated suborganisation with room to fail and learn. Don't ask the customer; watch them. K.I.S.S. !
