Human-centred computer architecture: redesigning the mobile datastore and sharing interface by Reitmaier, Thomas Oliver

“…I consider the history of the File abstraction and the fundamental grammars of action this abstraction supports (e.g. move, copy, & delete) and the mediating role this abstraction – and its graphical representation – plays in binding together the concerns of system architects, programmers, and users. Finding inspiration in the 30 year history of the file, I look beyond the Desktop to contemporary realms of computing on the mobile and in the Cloud to develop implications for reinvigorated file abstractions, representations, and grammars of actions. …”

Unsupervised anomaly detection for the ATLAS Level-1 Trigger by Stern, Thomas

“…The detector collects far more data than can be processed, resulting in over 99% of all data being deleted in real time by the Level-1 Trigger—a chain of field-programmable gate arrays optimized to accept data relevant to the physics processes under study and reject unwanted data. …”
