1. GRID COMPUTING
A Classification of Emerging and Traditional Grid Systems
Heba Kurdi, Maozhen Li, and Hamed Al-Raweshidy
This classification of grid systems aims to motivate research and help
establish a foundation in the developing field of grid computing. _

2. FROM IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS: THE SEMANTIC WEB
Enhancing Residential Gateways: A Semantic OSGi Platform
Rebeca P. Díaz Redondo, Ana Fernández Vilas, Manuel Ramos Cabrer, José
Juan Pazos Arias, Jorge García Duque, and Alberto Gil Solla
A service registry that supports the application of semantic reasoning
to discovery and the automation of invocation turns OSGi into a semantic
OSGi platform. _

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ WEBINAR
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IEEE Computer Society Computing Now Webinar Series Presents:
Standardizing Your Software Process Improvement Initiatives
Thursday 27 March 2008, 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT / 19:00 GMT (Duration:
  1 hour)

Speaker: Susan K. (Kathy) Land, Principal Software and Systems Engineer,
MITRE Corporation

In this free Webinar, several process methodologies — the CMMI, ISO
9001, and Lean Six Sigma — will be presented. Learn more about how
international process and IEEE Systems and Software Engineering
Standards might be best applied in support of each of these models.
Discussion will also include how these standards might be used to ensure
compliance and improve existing processes and practices.

3. EDUCATION
Teaching Grid Technologies to PhD Students, Part 1: Using Best Practices
to Build the Course
Dana Petcu
The scientific and large-scale information processing communities are
increasingly interested in studying Grid-based systems, but there are
relatively few reports on best practices in teaching Grid topics that
teachers can follow. _

4. FROM IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS: A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Reinventing Academic Publishing, Part 3
James Hendler
Online scientific interaction outside the traditional journal space is
becoming increasingly important to academic communication. _

5. NEWS
Terror on the Internet: A Complex Issue, and Getting Harder
Greg Goth
The fight against terror on the World Wide Web, chat rooms, and forums
tends to take a maddeningly circular route. _

6. FROM IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MOBILE COMPUTING
Joint Transmitter Power Control and Mobile Cache Management in Wireless
Computing
Savvas Gitzenis and Nicholas Bambos
The authors investigate efficient schemes for data communication from a
server (base station and access point) to a mobile terminal over a
wireless channel of randomly fluctuating quality. _
