Oral history interview with Peter J. Denning
No full textTranscript, 70 pp.This interview focuses on Peter Denning’s pioneering early contributions to computer security. This includes discussion of his perspective on CTSS and Multics as a graduate student at MIT, pioneering (with his student Scott Graham) the critical computer security concept of a reference monitor for each information object as a young faculty member at Princeton University, and his continuing contributions to the computer security field in his first years as a faculty member at Purdue University. Because of an extensive, career spanning oral history done with Denning as part of the ACM Oral History series (which includes his contributions as President of ACM, research on operating systems, and principles of computer science), this interview is primarily limited to Denning’s early career when computer security was one of his fundamental research areas.

Denning for Ubiquity on the messy business of predicting the future.UbiquityUbiquity is dedicated to the future of computing and the people who are creating it. What exactly does this mean for readers, for contributors, and for editors soliciting and reviewing contributions? We decided to ask the editor in chief, Peter Denning, how he approaches the future, and how his philosophy is reflected in the design and execution of the Ubiquity mission. He had a surprisingly rich set of answers to our questions. We believe his answers may be helpful for all our readers with their own approaches to their own futures

Are Militaries Lagging Their Non-State Enemies in use of Internet? An Interview with Chris Gunderson by Peter Denning
No full textThe article of record as published may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.The increasing number of cyber attacks on military networks and servers has raised the question of what the global defense community is doing to safeguard military systems and protect the larger global Internet. Ubiquity's editor interviewed Chris Gunderson, who served in the U.S. Navy from 1973 to 2004 and became an expert in "network centric" warfare, on this question and in particular on how military philosophy must change to adapt to the rise of information networks.

Listen, Learn, Lead – Dr. Peter Denning, Dr. Matt Carlyle, and Dr. Mathias Kölsch, Artificial Intelligence [audio]
No full textEpisode #11Interviewer: President, Retired Vice Adm. Ann E. RondeauIn this episode of "Listen, Learn, Lead," President Rondeau meets with three NPS Artificial Intelligence experts: Distinguished Professor Dr. Peter Denning; Chair and Professor of Operations Research Dr. Matt Carlyle; and Associate Professor of Computer Science Dr. Mathias Kolsch. Rondeau and these three panelists discuss the development of machines that can perform human cognitive tasks, vulnerabilities inherent in AI machines, and the recently formed Consortium for Intelligent Systems Education and Research (CISER) at NPS which aims to break down barriers to quick synthesis of innovative solutions and provides DOD-relevant answers to difficult strategic problems involving AI
A Ten Point Checklist for Getting it off the Shelf: an Interview with Dick Urban by Peter J. Denning
No full textThe article of record as published may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.Editor’s Introduction: Far too many R&D programs in industry as well as government result in reports or prototypes that represent fundamentally good ideas but end up gathering dust on a shelf. Ellison “Dick” Urban, formerly of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and now the Director of Washington Operations at Draper Laboratory, has had considerable experience with technology transition. We talked to him about his guidelines for success. (Peter J. Denning, Editor
An Interview with Peter Denning: Building a culture of innovation
No full textUbiquityThe article of record as published may be located at http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/991108.991107Peter Denning teaches students at the Naval Postgraduate School how to develop strategic, big-picture thinking about the field of computing. A past president of ACM (1980-82), he has been involved with communicating our discipline, computing, to outsiders since 1970. He has contributed several innovations that shaped the computing field: he invented the working set model for memory management, developed a theory of virtual memory, promulgated operating systems theory, co-invented operational analysis of system performance, co-founded CSNET, and led the ACM Digital Library team while chair of the Publications Board. He is an ACM Fellow and holds five major ACM awards. He just completed a five-year term as chair of the ACM Education Board
Writing Secure Programs, An Interview with Steve Lipner, by Peter J. Denning
No full textThe article of record as published may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.Editor's Introduction: Protecting computing systems and networks from attackers and data theft is an enormously complicated problem. The individual operating systems are complex (typically more than 40 million lines of code), they are connected to an enormous Internet (on order of 1 billion hosts), and the whole network is heavily populated (more than 2.3 billion users). Hunting down and patching vulnerabilities is a losing game. Steve Lipner, partner director of program management in Trustworthy Computing Security at Microsoft, has been involved in securing systems for nearly 40 years and has learned how to make security better. His responsibilities encompass Microsoft’s process for assuring the security of its products and online services— the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL)—as well as a variety of programs related to government evaluations of the security and integrity of Microsoft products and services. Lipner has been a consultant, researcher, development manager, and corporate executive in what we refer to today as “cyber security.” Here he shares his experiences in what has and has not worked. He sees by far the best results when programmers adopt secure development practices. (Peter J. Denning Editor-in-Chief
