Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Streamlining Software Upgrade

ACM News Service: CFI Research Projects Could Rewrite Computing Rules.  2004-10-26: One of the Canadian Foundation for Innovation grants described in this blurb is Ying Zou's proposal to improve software upgrades, a collaboration of Queen's University, IBM Canada, and the University of Waterloo.  The idea is to streamline upgrade processes for developers working on subsequent releases in a way that quality won't be decreased.  The ability to predict performance is an aspect of the work.

Neil Sutton's 2004-10-21 ITBusiness.ca article provides more on how CFI works.  The research work will take more searching.

Looking back on this blurb that I drafted in October, I am not sure what had me be all that interested.  Trusting that there is more to the blurb and article than what I gleaned here, I am going to post this marker.
