USENIX Annual Technical Conference, General Track - Location-aware scheduling with minimal infrastructure
2000Co-Authors: John Heidemann, Dhaval ShahAbstract:Mobile computers often benefit from software which adapts to their location. For example, a computer might be backed up when at the office, or the Default Printer might always be a nearby one. In many existing systems, location-triggered actions are only possible for specific applications or with special infrastructure. This paper describes lcron, a system which supports user-configurable actions triggered on change in location or other events common to mobile computers. Key features of lcron are its use of existing clues for location information and mapping low-level location information into user-sensible terms. Lcron uses a number of existing sources of location such as network connection and base station ID, allowing it to work without special hardware or GPS receivers. We map sources of low-level information such as IP address and latitude/longitude into user-meaningful logical locations. We describe the design, implementation and our experiences with this system.

For laptop users, docking stations provide a convenient way to adapt their computers to heavy or wired computing (and hence location-specific) hardware. Surprisingly, though,..

Use of prepress automation in the Czech Republic and examples of automated processing for selected prepress tasks
Proceedings - The Tenth International Symposium GRID 2020, 2020Co-Authors: Petr Roudný, Pardubice Photophysics, Markéta DržkováAbstract:The work is focused on the prepress and possibilities of its automation. The article provides a brief overview of main prepress operations together with software products available for their automation. The information on problematic areas of prepress processing and current use of software tools and prepress automation in the Czech Republic was gathered via the survey with almost a hundred participating companies. The questions about the type of company, the number of its employees and the number of orders received per day were also included so that the results could be better evaluated. As expected, most of the problems in prepress are connected to the printing data received from customers. The reported frequency of different issues and the time needed for the corrections are presented. The results also show that while almost half of the participating companies use a workflow system, which is the main means of automation, often it is not used to the full extent. Further, different possibilities of automated processing were demonstrated for three common issues selected on the basis of the survey results. The tasks included correction of files with Default Printer marks and a missing bleed, which belong to the most frequent problems, and adding the missing data for processing steps; this issue does not occur so often, but the participating companies reported they spend more time with its solution. The example PDF files were created in Adobe Illustrator and then processed in Adobe Acrobat, Callas pdfToolbox Desktop, Xerox FreeFlow Core, Enfocus PitStop Pro, and Esko Automation Engine. It was verified that when the given software includes the appropriate editing functions and the automated processing is employed, all the tasks can be accomplished very quickly – in the case of the example printing data, it was in less than a minute, usually in a few seconds. Based on the findings, the applicability and benefits of the alternatives considered are outlined. The comparison of functionality of the software tested and a number of their implementations in the participating companies suggests the important role of local resellers and support.

the print job creation apparatus the print execution instruction method the Default device setting method and program used in these
2003Co-Authors: 和紀 下田, 康彦 内田, 博康 玉川, 悟 百瀬Abstract:A Default Printer and a paper type are set for each combination of a print service and a paper size in a tabular form. The setting field has a Printer setting box 67 on the upper row to set a Default Printer used for execution of a print job and a paper type setting box 68 on the lower row to set a selected type of printing paper. A pulldown menu is open in the Printer setting box 67 to allow the user to select a desired Printer among Printers connecting with a local network and Printers connecting with another network different from the local network. In response to an execution instruction of a selected print job, in which a Printer connecting with the different network is set to the Default Printer, the selected print job is sent to an apparatus, in which a driver of the Default Printer is installed. The apparatus executes the selected print job.
