This flexibility increases the range of systolic array’s application, making the choice of the best systolic architecture to a given problem a critical task. In this work we investigate the specification and verification of such architectures using rewriting-logic, which provides a high level design framework for architectural exploration. In particular, we show how to use ELAN rewriting system to specify reconfigurable systems which can perform both arithmetic and symbolic computations.1. IntroductionThe widespread popularization of mobile computing and wireless communication systems fostered the research on new architectures to efficiently deal with communications issues in hardware constrained platforms like PDAs, mobile phones and pagers, for instance. Some tasks such as data compression, encoding and decoding are better implemented through dedicated hardware modules than using standard general purpose processors (GPP). However, the exploding costs of integrated circuit fabrics associated with shorter devices lifetimes makes the design of ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) a very expensive alternative. The growing capacity of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and the possibility of reconfiguring them to implement different hardware architectures makes it a good solution to this rapid changing wireless market. An FPGA may be configured to implement a cipher algorithm at one moment and can be later reconfigured to implement a data compressing algorithm. This flexibility opens a wide range of architectural alternatives to implement algorithms directly in hardware. In this context, it is very important to provide methods and tools to rapidly model and evaluate different hardware architectures to implement a given algorithm.In this paper we propose the use of rewriting systems to model and evaluate reconfigurable systolic hardware architectures. After the seminal work of Knuth-Bendix about the completion of algebraic equational specifications, which allows for the automatic generation of a rewrite-based theorem prover for the equational reduct of the subjacent treated theories [KnBe70], rewriting has been successfully applied into different areas of research in computer science as an abstract formalism for assisting the simulation, verification and deduction of complex computational objects and processes. In particular, in the context of computer architectures, rewriting theory has been applied as a tool for reasoning about hardware design.To review only a reduced set of different approaches in this direction, we find of great interest the work of Kapur who has used his well-known Rewriting Rule Laboratory - RRL(the first successful prover assistant based on rewriting) for verifying arithmetic circuits [KaSu2000, Ka2000, KaSu1997] as well as Arvind’s group that treated the implementation of processors with simple architectures [ShAr98a,ShAr98b,ArSh99], the rewrite-based description and synthesis of simple logical digital circuits [HoAr99] and the description of cache protocols over memory systems [RuShAr99,ArStSh01]. Also contributions in this field have shown how rewriting theory can be applied for the specification of processors (as Arvind’s group does) as well as for the purely rewrite based simulation and analysis of the specified processors [ANJLH02]. To achieve this rewriting-logic has been applied, that extends the pure rewriting paradigm allowing for a logical control of the application of the rewriting rules bystrategies [Me00,CiKi99]. Important programming environments based on the rewriting-logic paradigm are ELAN [CiKi99,BKKM02], Maude [Me00,Cla02] and Cafe-OBJ [DiFu02]. The impact of rewriting-logic as a successful programming paradigm in computer science as well as of the applicability of the related programming environments is witnessed by [MOMe02]. All our implementations and experiments were done in ELAN, since we consider of great flexibility its easy manipulation of strategies. However, for effects of model checking Maude has been proved to be more adequate.Section 2 provides an introduction to basic concepts in rewriting theory and reconfigurable circuits. Section 3 presents the specification and simulation of reconfigurable systolic arrays. Section 4 discusses use of rewriting-logic for simulating reconfiguration and another approach for data driven systolic arrays and section 5 is the conclusion.2. BackgroundAn example of our typical target environments is mapping applications onto platforms like coarse-grained DPAs (DataPath Arrays) or rDPAs (reconfigurable DPAs). We assume, that such platforms are completely pre-debugged, so that only the related mapping source has to be verified. Using Term Rewriting Systems (s. section 2.1) in such an environment means to specify or verify designs from sources at abstraction levels being higher than that of languages like VHDL or Verilog. Such notations are much more compact and concise than with traditional hardware language source notations in EDA. An example is the input language of ELAN which is a parsable derivative of the math formula space.This paper uses systolic arrays as demo examples (section 2.2). Systolic arrays, however, are special cases of super-systolic platforms like DPAs or rDPAs [HaKrRe95], which are data-stream-based [Ha03] pipe networks. (By the way: such platforms may also be emulated on larger FPGAs.) The only difference between systolic and super-systolic is the mapping method [Ha97]. Algebraic mapping or linear projection methods yield only solutions with linear uniform pipes which is restricted to the special case of applications with strictly regular data dependencies. But using simulated annealing, genetic algorithms or other optimization methods, permits any heterogeneous networks with free form pipes like zigzag, circular, or any much more wild shapes, and may also include forks and joins. The methodology introduced by this paper may be used for all kinds of data-stream-based hardwired or reconfigurable platforms.2.1. Rewriting theoryWe include the minimal needed notions on rewriting theory and rewriting-logic. For a detailed presentation of rewriting see [BaNi98].A Term Rewriting System, TRS for short, is defined as a triple ·R, S, S0 Ò, where S and R are respectively sets of terms and of rewrite rules of the form l ’ r i f p(l)being l and r terms and p a predicate and where S0 is the subset of initial terms of S. l and r are called the left-hand and right-hand sides of the rule and p its condition.In the architectural context of [ShAr98b], terms and rules represent states and state transitions, respectively.A term s can be rewritten or reduced to the term t, denoted by s ’ t, whenever there exists a subterm s' of s that can be transformed according to some rewrite rule into the term s'' such that replacing the occurrence of s' in s with s'' gives t. A term that cannot be rewritten is said to be in normal or canonical form. The relation over S given by the previous rewrite mechanism is called the rewrite relation of R and is denoted by ’. Its inverse is denoted by ¨and its reflexive-transitive closure by ’*and its equivalence closure by ´*.The important notions of terminating property (or Noetherianity) and Church-Rosser property or confluence are defined as usual. These notions correspond to the practical computational aspects as the determinism of processes and their finiteness.•a TRS is said to be terminating if there are no infinite sequences of the form s0’ s1’ ...• a TRS is said to be confluent if for all divergence of the form s ’* t 1, s ’* t 2 there exists a term u such that t 1 ’* u and t 2 ’* u .The use of the subset of initial terms S 0, representing possible initial states in the architectural context (which is not standard in rewriting theory), is simply to define what is a "legal" state according to the set of rewrite rules R ; i.e., t is a legal term (or state) whenever there exists an initial state s Œ S 0 such that s ’* t .Using these notions of rewriting one can model the operational semantics of algebraic operators and functions. Although in the pure rewriting context rules are applied in a truly non deterministic manner in the practice it is necessary to have a control of the ordering in which rules are applied. Thus rewriting theory jointly with logic, that is known as rewriting-logic, has been showed of practical applicability in this context of specification of processors since they may be adapted for representing in the necessary detail many hardware elements involved in processors. Moreover, other important fields of hardware design such as verification and synthesis of logical circuits may be benefited from the simplicity and versatility of this theoretical framework.2.2. Systolic arrays and reconfigurable systemsA systolic array is a mesh-connected pipe network of DPUs (datapath units), using only nearest neighbor (NN) interconnect [Ku78, Ku87]. DPU functional units operate synchronously, processing streams of data that traverse the network. Systolic arrays provide a large amount of parallelism and are well adapted to a restrict set of computational problems, i.e., those which can be efficiently mapped to a regular network of operators.Figure 1 shows a simple systolic example of a matrix-vector multiplication. The vector elements are stored inthe cells and are multiplied by the matrix elements thatare shifted bottom-up. On the first cycle, the first cell(DPU1) computes x 1*a 11, while the second and third cells(DPU2 and DPU3) multiply their values by 0. On thesecond cycle, the first cell computes x 1*a 21, while thesecond cell computes x 1*a 11 + x 2*a 12, where the first termis taken from the first cell and added to the productproduced in second cell. In the third cycle, the third cellproduces the first result : y 1 = x 1*a 11 + x 2*a 12 + x 3*a 13. Inthe following two cycles y 2 and y 3 will be output by thethird cell.There are several alternative configurations of functional cells, each one tailored to a particular class of computing problems. However, one of the main critics to systolic arrays is its restriction to applications with strictly regular data dependencies, as well as its lack of flexibility. Once designed, it is suitable to support only one particular application problem.The limitations of systolic arrays may be circumvented by using reconfigurable circuits, the most representative of them being the FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). An FPGA can have its behavior redefined in such a way that it can implement completely different digital systems on the same chip. Fine grain FPGAs may redefine a circuit at the gate level, working with bit wide operators. This kind of architecture provides a lot of flexibility, but takes more time to reconfigure than coarse grain reconfigurable platforms (rDPAs: reconfigurable DPAs). These work with word wide operators that are slightly less flexible but more area efficient and take much less time to reconfigure than the fine grain ones. The design of reconfigurable systolic architectures [HaKrRe95, HHHN00] aims to overcome the restriction of pure systolic circuits while keeping the benefits of a large degree of parallelism. In the reconfigurable approach, the operations performed by each functional unit as well as the interconnection among them may be reconfigured in order to be adapted to different applications. Moreover, it is possible to change the configuration of the circuit during run time, an approach called dynamic reconfiguration, which broadens even more the architectural alternatives to implement applications in hardware.a 21a 31a 12a 22a 32a 13a 23a 330y 1 = a 11x 1+a 12x 2+a 13x 3y 2 = a 21x 1+a 22x 2+a 23x 3y 3 = a 31x 1+a 32x 2+a 33x 3Figure 1: Vector – matrix computation.3. Specification and Simulation of Systolic Arrays via Rewriting-LogicHere we show how rewriting-logic can be applied to specify simple systolic arrays for vector andmatrix multiplication using the ELAN system. In these systems we can consider as the reconfigurablepart the constants in each component (DPU as in Figure 1), here called MAC (Multiplier/Adder).Vector multiplication: ELAN provides a very flexible programming environment where the user defines the syntax and semantics of data types (called sorts) and operations to be used in the program.Figure 2 shows the syntax of the data types in the ELAN program that models the vector multiplication.In the left side of a definition the data is specified using a combination of text and place holders which are represented by an ‘@’ character. For instance, an element of sort Port is defined as port(@, @). Thesort of the parameters as well as the sort of the element itself is defined in the right side of the definition.In this example, the two parameters of port are an integer and a Boolean, and the resulting element port(int, bool) is of sort Port. A MAC data is composed of six elements. The sort of the elements is, respectively, int, for the identifier, two of sort Port and two of sort Reg for the ports and registers andone of sort Const for the respective constant component of the multiplier vector. The processor sort Procconsists of four components: three of sort MAC and one of sort DataStream. The DataStream isdescribed as an object with three components of sort list[Data].operators global@ : ( int ) Const;port(@,@): ( int bool ) Port;reg(@,@): ( int bool ) Reg;'[' @,@,@,@,@,@ ']': ( int Port Port Reg Reg Const ) MAC;'<' @ @ @ @ '>' : ( MAC MAC MAC DataStream ) Proc;( @ @ @ ): ( list[Data] list[Data] list[Data] ) DataStream;@: ( int ) Data;endFigure 2. Sorts of the MAC in ELANThe rule named sole, used to describe the behavior of the processor during each cycle of the execution is given in figure 4. Informally, the rule is fired when the expression being processed matches the left side of the rule. It is replaced by the expression produced at the right side of the rule, which is again matched against the set of rules that define the program. Rules can be named for future reference when defining strategies. The rule name sole appears between square brackets in the beginning of the rule. Observe that after one-step of reduction applying this rule all necessary changes in the specified processor are executed. First, notice that the data d1, d2 and d3 at the top of the DataStream, are removed from the three lists of data and placed in the first ports of the three MACs.Figure 3. MAC Systolic Array ArchitectureThe multiplications between the contents of each first port vpi1 and the corresponding constant c i are placed in the first register of each MAC, for i=1,2 3 and 3 and the additions between the first register vri1 and the second port vpi2 are placed in the second port of each MAC, for i=1,2 and 3. Zeros preceding each operator v i are included to synchronize the two operations executed in each MAC. Finally, observe the data transfer from the second register vri2 of each MAC to the second port of the next component vp(i+1)2for i=1 and 2. All that is simultaneously done by only one application of the rewriting rule sole.With respect to the timing aspects of this example, the model assumes a clocked operation like traditional systolic architectures. There is no handshake between nodes and each application of rule sole corresponds to a single clock cycle. Thus, each node in fig. 3 takes two clock cycles to produce itsoutput. The synchronization between nodes for the first values is achieved introducing pairs of zero values, as illustrated in figure 3, and the Boolean flags used to synchronize nodes could be omitted.Executing all steps with a singe rewriting rule could appear artificial in other contexts of computer science, such as semantics of programming languages and in general theory of computing. Nice but relatively complex theoretical results can be related with the possibility of having a unique rewriting rule which simulates a (universal) Turing machine [Da1989, Da1992]. This nontrivial theoretical development may be better understood when we relate a sole rule with the execution of a "cycle" of a processor.rules for Procd1,d2,d3 : int; // variables for input datal1,l2,l3 : list[Data]; // lists of input datavp11, vp12, vp21, vp22, vp31, vp32 : int; // portsvr11, vr12, vr21, vr22, vr31, vr32 : int; // registersc1, c2, c3 : int; // constantsglobal[sole]<[1,port(vp11,true),port(0,true),reg(vr11,true),reg(vr12,true),c1][2,port(vp21,true),port(vp22,true),reg(vr21,true),reg(vr22,true),c2][3,port(vp31,true),port(vp32,true),reg(vr31,true),reg(vr32,true),c3 ](d1.l1 d2.l2 d3.l3) > =><[1, port(d1,true),port(0,true),reg(vp11*c1,true), reg(0+vr11,true),c1 ][2, port(d2,true),port(vr12,true),reg(vp21*c2,true), reg(vp22+vr21,true),c2 ][3, port(d3,true),port(vr22,true),reg(vp31*c3,true), reg(vp32+vr31,true),c3 ](l1 l2 l3) >endendFigure 4. ELAN Description of the Sole Rule.For our example we will consider as simple mechanism of reconfiguration the possibility of changing the constants in each MAC. Then a computation with our systolic array consists of two stages: a reconfiguration stage, where the constants are set and the subsequent processor execution with the previously defined rule sole.Figure 5 shows one additional rule created for the reconfiguration of a processor called conf. It simply changes the contents of the constant part of each MAC(in our case by the vector (1,0,0)). Observe that with the pure rewriting based paradigm this rule applies infinitely, because the resulting expression will match against the left side of the rule again and again. Thus, for controlling its application, we define a logical strategy, called withconf.withconf simply allows for the execution of one-step of reduction with the rule conf(the first reconfiguration stage) and a subsequent normalization with the rule sole (the second processor execution stage). This normalization is an available ELAN strategy, which applies the rewriting rules given as argument (in our case the rule sole) until a normal form is reached.[conf]< [1,port(vp11,true),port(0,true),reg(vr11,true),reg(vr12,true),c1][2,port(vp21,true),port(vp22,true),reg(vr21,true),reg(vr22,true),c2][3,port(vp31,true),port(vp32,true),reg(vr31,true),reg(vr32,true),c3](d1.l1 d2.l2 d3.l3) > =>< [1,port(vp11,true),port(0,true),reg(vr11,true),reg(vr12,true),1][2,port(vp21,true),port(vp22,true),reg(vr21,true),reg(vr22,true),0][3,port(vp31,true),port(vp32,true),reg(vr31,true),reg(vr32,true),0](d1.l1 d2.l2 d3.l3) >endstrategies for Procimplicit[] withconf => conf; normalise(sole) end[] simple => normalise(sole) endendFigure 5. conf Rule for ReconfigurationMatrix Multiplication:figure 6 shows the matriz multiplication structure and the description of its components is given in figure 7. Using the previous approach (that is, specifying a sole rule) implies the use of an excessive number of variables, which is not directly supported in ELAN. In fact, we would need different variables for the two ports, three registers and the constant belonging to each MAC, whichgives a total of 96 variables; additionally, we would need 16 variables for describing the two 4x data streams. This could be done by enlarging the ELAN capacity for dealing with variables before compiling the system. But a better solution is to split the cycle defining independent rewriting rules to be applied under a reasonable strategy, to simulate the internal process into each MAC component and the propagation of data between each component to their North and East connected MAC s.We define a rule for each of the sixteen components, which propagates the contents into their registers two and three to their North and East connected components, respectively. As a consequence of the form in which data should be transferred in the processor, these sixteen rules should be applied from the right to the left and top-down in order to complete a whole cycle of execution.Figure 6.

A 4¥4 Systolic array DescriptionAll these rules are very similar and a selected group of them is presented in the Figure 8. The rules for the South (mac01, mac02, mac03, mac04) and West (mac01, mac05, mac09, mac13) MAC s, called boundary components of the processor, load the data (dS and dW) in the head of the corresponding list of the data stream (lS1, lS2, lS3, lS4 and lW1, lW2, lW3 and lW4). Moreover, the rules for MAC s in the North (mac13, mac14, mac15, mac16) and East (mac04, mac08, mac12, mac16) boundaries of the processor only transfer data to the East and North corresponding boundary components; except, of course, for mac16. Consequently, different orderings for applying these rules completing a whole cycle of the processor are possible. For instance, we could take the ordering: mac16, mac12, mac08, mac04, mac15, mac11, mac07, mac03, mac14, mac13, mac10, mac09, mac06, mac05, mac02, mac01.In the Figure 9 we present a possible strategy called onecycle which defines an(other) ordering of application of these rules for completing a sole cycle of the processor. For completing the simulation of execution with this simple processor, one should define a normalization via this strategy: normalise(onecycle). In this rewriting-logical environment, our specification could be easily modified allowing the interpretation of parts of the processors as reconfigurable components.At first glance, one could look at the constants of the 16 MAC s as a reconfigurable component. In this way the processor can be adapted to be either a 4-vector versus 4x4-matrix multiplier or vice-versa and the 4x4-matrix may be modified to represent, for example, either the identity or the matrix F 4 of the Fast Discrete Fourier Transform (FFT).rules for Proc m01,m02,m03,m04,m05,m06,m07,m08: MAC; // 1-8 MACs m09,m10,m11,m12,m13,m14,m15,m16:MAC; //9-16 MACs dW, dS : int; // data East and SouthlW1,lW2,lW3,lW4,lS1,lS2,lS3,lS4:list[Data]; // West andSouthr1,r2, r3,rN1,rN2,rN3 : int; // Central North andrE1,rE2,rE3 : int; // East registers 1,2,3p1,p2,pN1,pN2,pE1,pE2: int; //Central,North and East portsc,cE,cN : int;global[mac16]< (lW1 lW2 lW3 lW4)m13 m14 m15 [16,p(p1),p(p2),r(r1),r(r2),r(r3),c ]m09 m10 m11 m12m05 m06 m07 m08m01 m02 m03 m04(lS1 lS2 lS3 lS4) > =>< (lW1 lW2 lW3 lW4)m13 m14 m15 [16,p(p1),p(p2),r(p1*c),r(r1+p2),r(p1),c ]m09 m10 m11 m12m05 m06 m07 m08m01 m02 m03 m04(lS1 lS2 lS3 lS4) >end ...[mac11]< (lW1 lW2 lW3 lW4)m13 m14 [15,p(pN1),p(pN2),r(rN1),r(rN2),r(rN3),cN ] m16m09 m10 [11,p(p1),p(p2),r(r1),r(r2),r(r3),c ][12,p(pE1),p(pE2),r(rE1),r(rE2),r(rE3),cE ]m05 m06 m07 m08m01 m02 m03 m04(lS1 lS2 lS3 lS4) > =>< (lW1 lW2 lW3 lW4) m13 m14 [15,p(pN1),p(r2),r(rN1),r(rN2),r(rN3),cN ] m16 m09 m10 [11,p(p1),p(p2),r(p1*c),r(r1+p2),r(p1),c ] [12,p(r3),p(pE2),r(rE1),r(rE2),r(rE3),cE ] m05 m06 m07 m08 m01 m02 m03 m04 (lS1 lS2 lS3 lS4) >end ...…… [mac01]< (dW.lW1 lW2 lW3 lW4) m13 m14 m15 m16 m09 m10 m11 m12 [05,p(pN1),p(pN2),r(rN1),r(rN2),r(rN3),cN ] m06 m07 m08 [01,p(p1),p(p2),r(r1),r(r2),r(r3),c ] [02, p(pE1),p(pE2),r(rE1),r(rE2),r(rE3),cE]m03 m04 (dS.IS1) IS2 IS3 IS$) > =>< (IE1 IE2 IE3 IE4) m13 m14 m15 m16 m09 m10 m11 m12 [05, p(pN1),p(r2) r(rN1) r(rN2) r(rN3), cN] m06 m07 m08 [01, p(dW), p(dS),r(p1*c), r((rE2), r(rE3), cE] m03 m04 (IS1 IS2 IS3 IS4)>end end Figure 8.

Alternative Models4.1 Variable Size Systolic ArraysOne limitation of the ELAN models presented aboveis that the rules are defined for a specific systolicarchitecture. A more flexible description will allow thespecification of systolic arrays with an arbitrary numberof functional units. In this case, the rewriting rulesshould be defined independently of the array size ortopology.This is exemplified in this section through the modeling of a simple version of the KressArray architecture [HaKrHe95]. It is defined by a matrix of reconfigurable functional units (rDPUs: reconfigurabledatapath units) where both the operations and the interconnections may be redefined (compare fig. 12 c and d). Figure 12 illustrates a KressArray family design space, which covers a wide variety of reconfigurable connect fabrics: nearest neighbour interconnect (NN) and backbus fabrics (segmented and / or non-segmented). Figure 13 shows a detailed example of NN ports featuring individual path width and individual mode (in, out, or bi-directional).Mapping C expressions to KressArrays is performed by assigning C operators to the nodeswhile keeping the corresponding data dependency among them. One particularity is that a KressArray is a pipe network which implements a dataflow model of computation. Coming along with synthesis tools also supporting non-uniform non-regular pipe networks [HHHN00, Na01] (in contrast to classical systolic array synthesis methods accepting only applications with strictly regular data dependencies) the KressArray family is a generalization of the systolic array. In addition to the generalized NN interconnect the KressArray family also provides abackbus (BB) second level interconnect fabrics with resources like buses and bus segments (for familymember examples see fig. 12 e, f, g).The DPU nodes of both, systolic arrays and rDPAs,may operate in a clocked mode, or asynchronously,where each operation is triggered as soon as data isavailable at the node inputs. (The latter version ofsystolic arrays has been usually called wavefrontarrays). This asynchronous operation is accomplishedby a handshake between interconnected nodes, sinceeach operation may take several clock cycles(multiplication, for instance, is implemented in itstypical serial way, through sums and shifts).Modeling of KressArrays in ELAN takes a different approach. To allow the specification of variable size systolic arrays, the nodes are stored on a list of arbitrary length. The designer provides the interconnections among nodes through signals, implemented with variables that connect the registers at the inputs and outputs of the nodes. Thus, if node n i is connected to node n j , then the same variable is associated to n i output and n j input. The operations of the nodes are dynamically specified along with the data that is to be processed by the array. To illustrate this kind of modeling lets consider a practical example: a KressArray that computes the differential equation loop body, given in figure 14.This array is defined by a list of 12 nodes, numbered from left to right and top to bottom. The first 4nodes are presented in figure 15. Each rDPU node is a kind of rAlu (reconfigurable Arithmetic-Logic Unit). In this simplified version, each rDPU has two registers in the inputs and one register at the output.Each register is defined by the variable it holds, its value and a flag that indicates if the data it holds is valid.

我心目中农场作文英语
我心目中农场作文英语Farms have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up in a bustling city, I often found myself longing for the tranquility and simplicity of rural life. As I've grown older, my appreciation for the vital role farms play in our society has only deepened. In my mind's eye, the perfect farm is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, where the timeless rhythms of nature coexist with the latest advancements in sustainable agriculture.At the heart of my vision for an ideal farm is a deep respect for the land and a commitment to responsible stewardship. I envision a property where the soil is nurtured and cared for, where every acre is treated as a precious resource to be cultivated with reverence and skill. The farmers who tend to this land would be passionate stewards, guided by a profound understanding of the delicate balance of ecosystems and a steadfast determination to leave the earth in better condition than they found it.One of the key features of my dream farm would be its emphasis on biodiversity. Rather than vast monocultures of a single crop, I see atapestry of diverse plantings – a symphony of fruits, vegetables, grains, and flowers that work in harmony to support a thriving webof life. Hedgerows and wildflower meadows would dot the landscape, providing vital habitats for pollinators and other beneficial insects. Integrated pest management strategies would be employed, minimizing the need for harmful chemicals and fostering a natural balance within the farm's ecosystem.Sustainability would be a guiding principle in every aspect of the farm's operations. Solar panels and wind turbines would harness the power of renewable energy, reducing the farm's carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner, greener future. Water conservation would be a top priority, with efficient irrigation systems, rain catchment, and wetland restoration projects ensuring that this precious resource is used responsibly. Waste would be minimized through composting, recycling, and the implementation of circular economy principles, transforming what was once considered trash into valuable inputs for the farm's nutrient cycle.At the same time, I envision my ideal farm as a hub of innovation and technological advancement. State-of-the-art precision farming techniques would be employed, using data-driven analytics and cutting-edge sensors to optimize crop yields, minimize resource use, and enhance overall efficiency. Robotic systems and autonomous vehicles would assist in the day-to-day tasks, freeing up the farmersto focus on the more nuanced and creative aspects of their work. Vertical farming and hydroponics would be integrated into the landscape, allowing for the production of high-quality, year-round crops in a compact, resource-efficient manner.But beyond its technological prowess, this farm would also be a place of community and connection. I envision a vibrant agritourism program, where visitors can immerse themselves in the rhythms of farm life, learn about sustainable agriculture, and forge a deeper appreciation for the origins of their food. Educational programs and workshops would be offered, empowering people of all ages to become more engaged with the natural world and the processes that sustain us.The farm's bounty would be shared not just with those who visit, but with the surrounding community as well. A robust network of farmer's markets, community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, and partnerships with local businesses would ensure that the farm's high-quality, nutrient-dense produce is accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. The farm would also serve as a hub for food justice initiatives, working to address issues of food insecurity and promote equitable access to healthy, sustainable food.At the heart of this farm would be the farmers themselves – a dedicated, passionate, and diverse team of individuals who havechosen to devote their lives to the stewardship of the land. They would be skilled not just in the practical aspects of farming, but also in the art of storytelling, using their intimate knowledge of the land to inspire and educate all who come into contact with it. They would be leaders in their community, advocating for policies and practices that support small-scale, sustainable agriculture, and serving as role models for the next generation of food producers.As I envision this farm, I am filled with a sense of hope and excitement for the future of our food system. In a world that is increasingly grappling with the challenges of climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, farms like this one can serve as beacons of resilience, innovation, and community. By embracing a holistic, regenerative approach to agriculture, we can not only nourish our bodies, but also heal the land, support local economies, and foster a deeper connection between people and the natural world.It is a grand and ambitious vision, to be sure, but one that I believe is both necessary and achievable. With the right combination of passion, creativity, and collaborative effort, we can transform the way we produce, distribute, and consume food, creating a more sustainable, equitable, and vibrant future for all. And at the heart of this transformation, I see the ideal farm – a living, breathing testament to the power of human ingenuity, the resilience of nature,and the boundless potential of what we can achieve when we work in harmony with the land that sustains us.。

Abstract
Group Signatures:Provable Security,Efficient Constructions and Anonymity from Trapdoor-HoldersAggelos Kiayias∗Computer Science&Engineering University of ConnecticutStorrs,CT,USA aggelos@Moti YungRSA Laboratories,Bedford,MA,USA,andColumbia UniversityNew York,NY,USAmoti@ AbstractTo date,a group signature construction which is efficient,scalable,allows dynamic adversar-ial joins,and proven secure in a formal model has not been suggested.In this work we give the first such construction in the random oracle model.The demonstration of an efficient construction proven secure in a formal model that captures all intuitive security properties of a certain primitive is a basic goal in cryptographic design.To this end we adapt a formal model for group signatures capturing all the basic requirements that have been identified as desirable in the area and we con-struct an efficient scheme and prove its security.Our construction is based on the Strong-RSA assumption(as in the work of Ateniese et al.).In our system,due to the requirements of provable security in a formal model,we give novel constructions as well as innovative extensions of the un-derlying mathematical requirements and properties.Our task,in fact,requires the investigation of some basic number-theoretic techniques for arguing security over the group of quadratic residues modulo a composite when its factorization is known.Along the way we discover that in the basic construction,anonymity does not depend on factoring-based assumptions,which,in turn,allows the natural separation of user join management and anonymity revocation authorities.Anonymity can,in turn,be shown even against an adversary controlling the join manager.∗Research partly supported by NSF Career Award CNS-0447808.1Contents1Introduction3 2Preliminaries6 3DDH over QR(n)with known Factorization7 4PK-Encryption over QR(n)with split n11 5Group Signatures:Model and Definitions16 6Building a Secure Group Signature206.1The Construction (22)6.2Correctness and Security of the Construction (25)7Separability:Anonymity vs.the GM29 A Generalized Forking Lemma3321IntroductionThe notion of group signature is a central anonymity primitive that allows users to have anonymous non-repudiable credentials.The primitive was introduced by Chaum and Van Heyst[13]and it involves a group of users,each holding a membership certificate that allows a user to issue a publicly verifiable signature which hides the identity of the signer within the group.The public-verification procedure employs only the public-key of the group.Furthermore,in a case of any dispute or abuse,it is possible for the group manager(GM)to“open”an individual signature and reveal the identity of its originator.Constructing an efficient and scalable group signature has been a research target for many years since its introduction with quite a slow progress,see e.g.,[14,12,10,11,8,27,3,2,9,24,7].In many of the early works the signature size was related to the group size.Thefirst construction that appeared to provide sufficient heuristic security and efficiency properties and where user joins are performed by a manager that is not trusted to know their keys,was the scalable scheme of Ateniese,Camenisch,Joye and Tsudik[2].It provided constant signature size and resistance to attacks by coalitions of users.This scheme was based on a novel use of the DDH assumption combined with the Strong-RSA assumption over groups of intractable order.Recently,Bellare,Micciancio and Warinschi[4],noticing that the work of[2]claims a collection of individual intuitive security properties,advocated the need for a formal model for arguing the security of group signature.This basic observation is in line with the development of solid security notions in modern cryptography,where a formal model that captures the properties of a primitive is defined and a scheme implementation is formally proven(in some model)to satisfy the security definitions. They also offered a model of a relaxed group signature primitive and a generic construction in that model.Generic constructions are inefficient and many times are simpler than efficient constructions (that are based on specific number theoretic problems).This is due to the fact that generic constructions can employ(as a black box)the available heavy and powerful machinery of general zero-knowledge protocols and general secure multi-party computations.Thus,generic constructions typically serve only as plausibility results for the existence of a cryptographic primitive,cf.[20].The relaxation in the model of[4]amounts to replacing the dynamic adversarial join protocols of[2]where users get individual keys with a trusted party that generates and distributes keys securely(relevant in some settings but perhaps unlikely in others).The above state of affairs([2,4])indicates that there exists a gap in the long progression of research efforts regarding the group signature primitive.This gap is typical in cryptography and is formed by a difference between prohibitively expensive constructions secure in a formal sense on the one hand, and efficient more ad-hoc constructions with intuitive claims on the other.In many cases,as indicated above,it is easier to come up with provably secure generic inefficient constructions or to design efficient ad-hoc constructions.It is often much harder to construct an efficient implementation that is proven secure within a formal model(that convincingly captures all desired intuitive security properties).To summarize the above,it is apparent that the following question remained open by earlier works: Design an efficient group signature with dynamic joins(and no trusted parties)which isprovably secure within a formal model.One of our contributions is solving the above open question by,both,adapting a new model for group signatures(based on the model of traceable signatures of[23]),which follows the paradigm of [22]for the security of signature schemes,as well as providing an efficient provably secure construction (in the sense of the scheme of[2]),and a comprehensive security proof.These contributions reveal many subtleties regarding the exact construction parameters,and in particular issues regarding what intractability assumptions are actually necessary for achieving the3security properties.For example,the anonymity property in our treatment is totally disassociated from any factoring related assumption.We note that,methodologically,in order to reveal such issues,a complete proof is needed following a concrete model.This has not been done in the realm of(efficient) group signatures and concrete proof and model are unique to our work.(We note that even though we try to build our constructions on prior assumptions and systems as much as possible,we need to modify them extensively as required by the constraints imposed by following formal model and arguments).Our investigation also reveals delicate issues regarding the proper formal modeling of the group signature primitive with regards to the work of[4].For example,the need of formalizing security against attacks by any internal or external entity that is active in the scheme(i.e.,no trusted parties). Lack of such treatment,while proper for the non-dynamic setting of[4],is insufficient for proving the security of schemes that follow the line of work of[2](i.e.,where there are no trusted key generators). Our Contributions.Below,we outline what this work achieves in more details.1.M ODELING.To model schemes like the scheme of[2]with dynamic(yet sequential)joins and no trusted parties we adapt the model of[23]which is thefirst formal model in the area of group signing without added trusted parties.In particular,our model has the three types of attacks that involve the GM and the users similarly to[23].We extend the model to allow adversarial opening of signatures(see the next paragraph).All the attacks are modeled as games between the adversaries and a party called the interface.The interface represents the system in a real environment and simulates the behavior of the system(a probabilistic polynomial time simulator)in the security proof.The attacker gets oracle query capabilities to probe the state of the system and is also challenged with an attack task.We note that this follows the basic approach of[22]for modeling security of digital signatures,yet in the complicated system with various parties,a few attacks which can co-exist are possible,and needed to be described as part of the system security.2.A DVERSARIAL O PENING IN E FFICIENT S CHEMES.As mentioned above,our formal model ex-tends the security requirements given by the list of security properties of[2]by allowing the adversary to request that the system opens signatures of its choice.In the work of[2],opening of signatures was implicitly assumed to be an internal operation of the GM.We note that such stronger adversarial capability was put forth for thefirst time in the formal model of[4].For achieving an efficient scheme with adversarial opening we needed to develop novel cryptographic constructs.(Note that adversarial opening can also be applied to strengthen the notion of traceable signatures).3.S TRONGER A NONYMITY P ROPERTY.In the scheme of[2]anonymity is claimed against an ad-versary that is not allowed to corrupt the GM.This is a natural choice since in their scheme the GM holds the trapdoor which provides the opening capability,namely an ElGamal key.The GM also holds the trapdoor that is required to enroll users to the group,namely the factorization of an RSA-modulus. However,pragmatically,there is no need to combine the GM function that manages group members and allow them to join the group(which in real life can be run by e.g.,a commercial company)with the opening authority function(which in real life can be run by a government entity).To manage members the GM who is the“Join Manager”still needs to know the factorization.The opening authority,on the other hand,must know the ElGamal key.This split of functions(separation of authorities)is not a relaxation of group signatures but rather a constraining of the primitive.One should observe that the introduction of such additional functionalities in a primitive potentially leads to new attacks and to a change in the security model.Indeed in the separated authorities setting,we must allow the anonymity adversary to corrupt the GM as well.4.N UMBER-T HEORETIC R ESULTS AND C RYPTOGRAPHIC P RIMITIVES.The last two contributions above required building cryptographic primitives over the set of quadratic residues modulo n=pq that remain secure when the factorization(into two strong primes)p,q is known to the adversary.4To this end,we investigate the Decisional Diffie Hellman Assumption over the quadratic residues modulo n and we prove that it appears to be hard even if the adversary knows the factorization.In particular,we prove that any adversary that knows the factorization p,q and solves the DDH problem over the quadratic residues modulo a composite n=pq,can be turned into a DDH-distinguisher for quadratic-residues modulo a prime number.This result is of independent interest since it suggests that the DDH over QR(n)does not depend to the factorization problem at all.Also,the present work requires a cca2(chosen ciphertext attack)secure encryption mechanism that operates over the quadratic residues modulo n so that(i)encryption should not use the factorization of n,(i.e.,the factorization need not be a part of the public-key),but on the other hand(ii)the factorization is known to the attacker.In this work we derive such a primitive in the form of an ElGamal variant following the general approach of twin encryption,cf.[29,16,19]which is cca2secure under the DDH assumption in the Random Oracle model(note that our efficient group signature requires the random oracle anyway since it is derived from the Fiat-Shamir transform,cf.[18,1]).5.E FFICIENT C ONSTRUCTION.We provide an efficient construction of a group signature that is proven secure in our model.While,we would like to note that our scheme is motivated by[2](and originally we tried to rely on it as much as possible),our scheme,nevertheless,possesses many subtle and important differences.These differences enable the proof of security of our scheme whereas the scheme presented by[2]claims security in heuristic arguments that are not complete and,in particular, cannot be proven secure in our model:There are many reasons for this,e.g.,the scheme of[2]lacks an appropriate cca2secure identity embedding mechanism.Moreover,our efficient construction can support formally(if so desired),the separation of group management and opening capability–some-thing not apparent in the prior scheme of[2].Finally,we note that a syntactically degenerated version of our construction(that retains its efficiency)can be proven secure in the model of[4](and is,in fact, a non-dynamic group signature scheme of the type they have suggested).An interesting technical result with respect to anonymity compared to previous work is highlighted in our investigation.Anonymity was argued in the work of[2]to be based on the decisional Diffie-Hellman Assumption over Quadratic Residues modulo a composite and given that the GM was assumed to be uncorrupted,the key-issuing trapdoor(the factorization of the modulus)was not meant to be known to the adversary.As argued above,we prove that anonymity still holds when the adversary is given the factorization trapdoor.Thus,we disassociate anonymity from the factoring problem.Taking this result independently it also implies the separability between the opening authority and the group manager.In addition,we note that many other technical and subtle details are different in our provable scheme from prior designs.An extended abstract of the present paper appeared in[26].Organization.In section2we present some background,useful tools and the intractability assump-tions.In section3we investigate the behavior of the DDH assumption over the quadratic residues modulo a composite which is multiple of two strong primes,when the factorization is known to the distinguisher.In section4we discuss the kind of cca2security that will be required in our setting (over QR(n)but with known factorization)and we present an efficient and provably secure construc-tion based on the ElGamal twin-encryption paradigm.In section5we present our security model and definitions and in section6we give our construction and its proofs of correctness and security.In sec-tion7we present group signatures with separated authorities(i.e.,the Group Manager(GM)and the Opening Authority(OA)).52PreliminariesN OTATIONS .We will write PPT for probabilistic polynomial-time.If D 1and D 2are two probability distributions defined over the same support that is parameterized by νwe will write dist A (D 1,D 2)to denote the computational distance |Prob x ←D 1[A (x )=1]−Prob x ←D 2[A (x )=1]|.Note thattypically dist A will be expressed as a function of ν.Similarly,we will write dist(D 1,D 2)to denote the maximum distance among all PPT predicates A .Note that the statistical distance of the distribu-tions D 1,D 2,namely 12 x |Prob D 1[x ]−Prob D 2[x ]|might be much larger than the computationaldistance.If n is any number,we will denote by [n ]the set {1,..., n }.If we write a ≡n b for two integers a,b we mean that n divides a −b or equivalently that a,b are the same element within Z n .A function f :I N →R will be called negligible if for all c >0there exists a νc such that for all ν≥νc ,f (ν)<ν−c .In this case we will write f (ν)=negl (ν).PPT will stand for “probabilistic polynomial time.”Throughout the paper (unless noted otherwise)we will work over the group of quadratic residues modulo n ,denoted by QR (n ),where n =pq and p =2p +1and q =2q +1and p,q,p ,q prime numbers.All operations are to be interpreted as modulo n (unless noted otherwise).In general we will use the letter νto denote the security parameter (i.e.,this value will be polynomially related to the sizes of all quantities involved).Next we define the cryptographic intractability assumptions that will be relevant in proving the security properties of our constructions.The first assumption is the Strong-RSA assumption.It is similar in nature to the assumption of the difficulty of finding e -th roots of arbitrary elements in Z ∗n with the difference that the exponent e is not fixed (i.e.,it is not part of the instance).Definition 1Strong-RSA .Given a composite n (as described above),and z ∈QR (n ),it is infeasibleto find u ∈Z ∗n and e >1such that u e =z (mod n ),in time polynomial in ν.Note that the variant we employ above restricts the input z to be a quadratic residue.This variant of Strong-RSA has been discussed before,cf.[15],and by restricting the exponent solutions to be only odd numbers we have that (i)it cannot be easier than the standard unrestricted Strong-RSA problem,but also (ii)it enjoys a random-self reducibility property (see [15]).The second assumption that we employ is the Decisional Diffie-Hellman Assumption (see e.g.,[6]for a survey).We state it below for a general group G and later on in definition 5we will specialize this definition to two specific groups.Decisional Diffie-Hellman Given a description of a cyclic (sub)group G that includes a generator g ,a DDH distinguisher A is a polynomial in νtime PPT that distinguishes the family of triples of the form g x ,g y ,g z from the family of triples of the form g x ,g y ,g xy ,where x,y,z ∈R #G .The DDH assumption suggests that this advantage is a negligible function in ν.Finally,we will employ the discrete-logarithm assumption over the quadratic residues modulo n with known factorization (note that the discrete-logarithm problem is assumed to be hard even when the factorization is known,assuming of course that the factors of n are large primes p,q and where p −1and q −1are non-smooth).Definition 2Range-bounded Discrete-Logarithm with known factorization .Given two values a,b that belong to the set of quadratic residues modulo n with known factorization n =pq ,so that there is an x ∈Λ⊆[p q ]:a x =b ,p,q are safe primes,#Λ=Θ(n )for a given constant >0,it is infeasible to find in time polynomial in νthe integer x so that a x =b (mod n ).63DDH over QR(n)with known FactorizationOur constructions will require the investigation of the number-theoretic results presented in this sec-tion that albeit entirely elementary they have not being observed in the literature to the best of our knowledge.In particular we will show that DDH over QR(n)does not depend on the hardness of factoring.Let n be a composite,n=pq with p=2p +1and q=2q +1(p,q,p ,q primes).Recall that elements of Z∗n are in a1-1correspondence with the set Z∗p×Z∗q.Indeed,given b,c ∈Z∗p×Z∗q, consider the system of equations x≡b(mod p)and x≡c(mod q).Using Chinese remaindering we can construct a solution of the above system since gcd(p,q)=1and the solution will be unique inside Z∗n.Alternatively for any a∈Z∗n we canfind the corresponding pair b,c in Z∗p×Z∗q by computing b=a(mod p)and c=a(mod q)(note that gcd(a,n)=1implies that b≡0(mod p)and c≡0(mod q).The mappingρfrom Z∗p×Z∗q to Z∗n is called the Chinese remaindering mapping. Observe thatρpreserves quadratic residuosity:ρ(QR(p)×QR(q))=QR(n).The following two lemmas will be useful in the sequel.They show(1)how the Chinese remainder-ing mapping behaves when given inputs expressed as powers inside the two groups QR(p)and QR(q), and(2)how discrete-logarithms over QR(n)can be decomposed.Lemma3Let g1,g2be generators of the groups QR(p)and QR(q)respectively,where the groups are defined as above.Then,ifβ=ρ(g x11,g x22),whereρis the Chinese remaindering mapping,it holds thatβ=αq x1+p x2(mod n)whereα=ρ(g(q )−11,g(p )−12)is a generator of QR(n).Proof.First we show thatαis a generator of QR(n).Assume without loss of generality that p >q .Then it holds that q ∈Z∗p and as a result q is an invertible element of Z∗p.It follows that g 1=g(q )−1 1is well defined and is a generator of QR(p)(since g1is a generator of QR(p)).Furthermorep (mod q )∈Z∗qsince it cannot be the case that p ≡q 0as this would mean that either p =q or p isnot prime.It follows that p has an inverse modulo q and as a result g 2=g(p )−12is well defined and isa generator of QR(q)(since g2is a generator of QR(q)).Finally we remark that if g1,g2are randomly selected generators of QR(p),QR(q)respectively,it holds that g 1,g 2are uniformly distributed over all generators.Sinceα=ρ(g 1,g 2),it follows thatα≡p g 1(p)andα≡q g 2(q).It is easy to see thatαmust be a generator unless the order ofαinside Z∗n is divisible by either p or q ;but this can only happen if α≡p1orα≡q1something not possible unless either g 1≡p1or g 2≡q1.This case is excluded given that g 1,g 2are generators of their respective groups QR(p)and QR(q).This completes the argument thatαis a generator of QR(n).Now,sinceβ=ρ(g x11,g x22)it follows thatβ≡g x11(p)andβ≡g x22(q);Using this fact together with the properties ofαwe have:αq x1+p x2≡pαq x1≡p(g(q )−11)q x1≡p g x11αq x1+p x2≡qαp x2≡p(g(p )−12)p x2≡p g x22Due to the uniqueness of the Chinese remaindering solution inside Z∗n it follows thatβ=αq x1+p x2(mod n)is the solution of the system.Lemma4Fix a generatorαof QR(n)and an integer t∈I N.The mappingτα:Z p ×Z q →QR(n),withτα(x1,x2)=α(q )t x1+(p )t x2is a bijection.The inverse mappingτ−1αis defined asτ−1α(αx)=(q )−t x mod p ,(p )−t x mod q .7Proof.Let x1,x2 , x 1,x 2 ∈Z p ×Z q be two tuples withτ(x1,x2)=τ(x 1,x 2).It follows that (q )t x1+(p )t x2≡order(α)(q )t x 1+(p )t x 2;sinceαis a generator,p q |(q )t(x1−x 1)+(p )t(x2−x 2), from which we have p |(q )t(x1−x 1)which implies p |x1−x 1,i.e.,x1=x 1.In a similar fashion we show that x2=x 2.The onto property follows immediately from the number of elements of the domain and the range.Regarding the inverse,define q∗,p∗to be integers in Z p ,Z q respectively,so that q∗(q )t≡p 1and p∗(p )t≡q 1.Moreover let y1=q∗x mod p and y2=p∗x mod q .Letπ1,π2be integers so that q∗x=π1p +y1and p∗x=π2q +y2.We will show that(q )t y1+(p )t y2≡p q x which will complete the proof.In order for p q to divide(q )t y1+(p )t y2−x it should hold that both p ,q divide(q )t y1+(p )t y2−x.Indeed,p divides(q )t y1+(p )t y2−x since(q )t y1+(p )t y2−x=(q )t(q∗x−π1p )+p y2−x≡p (q )t q∗x−x≡p 0.In a similar fashion we show that q divides(q )t y1+(p )t y2−x.From these two facts it follows immediately thatτ(τ−1(αx))=τ( y1,y2 )=αx.Let desc(1ν)be a PPT algorithm,called a group descriptor,that on input1νit outputs a description of a cyclic group G denoted by˜d G.Depending on the group,˜d G may have many entries;in our setting it will include a generator of G,denoted by˜d G.gen and the order of G denoted by˜d G.ord.We require that2ν−1≤˜d G.ord<2ν,i.e.,the order of G is aν-bit number with thefirst bit set.Additionally ˜dGcontains the necessary information that is required to implement multiplication over G.We will be interested in the following two group descriptors:•desc p:Given1νfind aν-bit prime p >2ν−1for which it holds that p=2p +1and p is also prime.Let g be any non-trivial quadratic residue modulo p.We set QR(p)to be the group of quadratic residues modulo p(which in this case is of order p and is generated by g).The descriptor desc p returns g,p,p and it holds that if˜d←desc p(1ν),˜d.ord=p and˜d.gen=g.•desc c:Givenνfind two distinct primes p ,q of bit-lengthν/2so that p q is aν-bit number that is greater than2ν−1and so that there exist primes p,q such that p=2p +1and q= 2q +1.The descriptor desc c returns α,n,p,q,p ,q and it holds that if˜d←desc c(1ν),˜d.ord=p q and˜d.gen=α.The implementation of descc that we will employ is the following:execute desc p twice,to obtain˜d1= g1,p,p and˜d2= g2,q,q with p=q,and set˜d=g,n=pq,p,q,p ,q whereα=ρ(g(q )−11,g(p )−12).For such a description˜d we will call thedescriptions˜d1and˜d2,the prime coordinates of˜d.Note that in the(unlikely)event p=q the procedure is repeated.Definition5A Decisional Diffie Hellman(DDH)distinguisher for a group descriptor desc is a PPT algorithm A with range the set{0,1};the advantage of the distinguisher is defined as follows:Adv DDHdesc,A (ν)=dist A(D descν,R descν)where D descνcontains elements of the form ˜d,g x,g y,g x·y where˜d←desc(1ν),g=˜d.gen andx,y←R[˜d.ord],and R descνcontains elements of the form ˜d,g x,g y,g z where˜d←desc(1ν),g=˜d.gen and x,y,z←R[˜d.ord].Finally we define the overall advantage quantified over all distinguishersas follows:Adv DDHdesc (ν)=max P P T A Adv DDHdesc,A(ν).The main result of this section is the theorem below that shows that the DDH over QR(n)with known factorization is essentially no easier than the DDH over the prime coordinates of QR(n).The proof of the theorem is based on the construction of a mapping of DDH triples drawn from the two prime coordinate groups of QR(n)into DDH triples of QR(n)that is shown in the following lemma:8Lemma6Let˜d←desc c(1ν)with˜d1,˜d2←desc p(1ν/2),its two prime coordinates,such that˜d1= g1,p,p and˜d2= g2,q,q .Consider a mappingρ∗defined as follows:ρ∗( ˜d1,A1,B1,C1 , ˜d2,A2,B2,C2 )=df ˜d,ρ(A1,A2),ρ(B1,B2),ρ((C1)q,(C2)p)⊥so that the⊥output is given if and only if˜d1.ord=˜d2.ord.Then it holds,thatρ∗satisfies the properties(i)dist(ρ∗(D desc pν/2,D desc pν/2),D desc cν)≤3log2·ν2ν/2and(ii)dist(ρ∗(R desc pν/2,R desc pν/2),R desc cν)≤3log2·ν2ν/2.Proof.Observe that if A1=g x11,B1=g y11,C1=g x1y11and A2=g x22,B2=g y22,C2=g x2y21,basedon the properties of the mappingρshown in lemma3it follows thatρ(A1,A2)=αq x1+p x2andρ(B1,B2)=αq y1+p y2ρ((C1)q ,(C2)p )=α(q )2x1y1+(p )2x2y2Now we show that if A1,B1,C1 is a DDH triple from˜d1,and A2,B2,C2 is a DDH triple from˜d2 then A,B,C is a DDH triple from˜d that has˜d1and˜d2as its two prime coordinates:αlogαA logαB=α(q x1+p x2)(q y1+p y2)=α(q )2x1y1+(p )2x2y2+p q (x1y2+x2y1)≡nα(q )2x1y1+(p )2x2y2=CFrom the above and lemma4and standard results on the distribution of primes we can deduce easily thatdist(ρ∗(D desc pν/2,D desc pν/2),D desc cν)≤3log2·ν2ν/2,i.e.,the two distributions are statistically indistinguishable.We conclude that the distribution defined byρ∗when applied to two distributions of DDH triples fromD desc pν/2over the respective groups is statistically close to the distribution D desc cν.This completes theproof for property(i)of the lemma.Regarding property(ii),observe that if A1=g x11,B1=g y11,C1= g z11and A2=g x22,B2=g y22,C2=g z21,based on the properties of the mappingρshown in lemma3it follows thatρ(A1,A2)=αq x1+p x2andρ(B1,B2)=αq y1+p y2ρ((C1)q ,(C2)p )=α(q )2z1+(p )2z2and thus,using lemma4,dist(ρ∗(R desc pν/2,R desc pν/2),R desc cν)≤3log2·ν2ν/2,i.e.,the two distributions arestatistically indistinguishable.The lemma is used for the proof of the theorem below:Theorem7Adv DDHdesc c (ν)≤2Adv DDHdesc p(ν/2)+(6log2·ν)/2ν/2.Proof.Let A be any DDH-distinguisher for desc ing property(i)of lemma6,we have thatdist A(D desc cν,ρ∗(D desc pν/2,D desc pν/2))≤3log2·ν2ν/2and given thatdist A(ρ∗(D desc pν/2,D desc pν/2),ρ∗(R desc pν/2,D desc pν/2))≤≤Adv DDHdesc p(ν/2)9we obtain(Fact1)dist A(D desc cν,ρ∗(R desc pν/2,D desc pν/2))≤≤Adv DDHdesc p (ν/2)+3log2·ν2Now using property(ii)of lemma6we have thatdist A(R desc cν,ρ∗(R desc pν/2,R desc pν/2))≤3log2·ν2ν/2and given thatdist A(ρ∗(R desc pν/2,D desc pν/2),ρ∗(R desc pν/2,R desc pν/2))≤≤Adv DDHdesc p(ν/2) we obtain(Fact2)dist A(ρ∗(R desc pν/2,D desc pν/2),R desc cν)==Adv DDHdesc p (ν/2)+3log2·ν2ν/2Finally by applying the triangle inequality to facts1and2above,we obtain:Adv DDHA,desc c (ν)=dist A(D desc cν,R desc cν)≤≤2·Adv DDHdesc p (ν/2)+6log2·ν2ν/2Since the above holds for an arbitrary choice of A the statement of the theorem follows.We proceed to state explicitly the two variants of the DDH assumption:Definition8The following are two Decisional Diffie Hellman Assumptions:•The DDH assumption over quadratic residues modulo a safe prime(DDH-Prime)asserts that:Adv DDHdesc p (ν)=negl(ν).•The DDH assumption over quadratic residues modulo a safe composite with known Factorization (DDH-Comp-KF)asserts that:Adv DDHdesc c(ν)=negl(ν).We conclude the section with the following theorem(where=⇒stands for logical implication): Theorem9DDH-Prime=⇒DDH-Comp-KF.Proof.An immediate corollary of theorem7and the easy fact that if f1,f2are negligible functions in νthen2·f1(ν)+f2(ν)is also a negligible function.10。
休伦港宣言
休伦港宣言（英文版）We are people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort, housed now in universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit.When we were kids the United States was the wealthiest and strongest country in the world; the only one with the atom bomb, the least scarred by modern war, an initiator of the United Nations that we thought would distribute Western influence throughout the world. Freedom and equality for each individual, government of, by, and for the people─ these A merican values we found good, principles by which we could live as men. Many of us began maturing in complacency.As we grew, however, our comfort was penetrated by events too troubling to dismiss. First, the permeating and victimizing fact of human degradation, symbolized by the Southern struggle against racial bigotry, compelled most of us from silence to activism. Second, the enclosing fact of the Cold War, symbolized by the presence of the Bomb, brought awareness that we ourselves, and our friends, and millions of abstract "others" we knew more directly because of our common peril, might die at any time. We might deliberately ignore, or avoid, or fail to feel all other human problems, but not these two, for these were too immediate and crushing in their impact, too challenging in the demand that we as individuals take the responsibility for encounter and resolution.While these and other problems either directly oppressed us or rankled our consciences and became our own subjective concern, we began to see complicated and disturbing paradoxes in our surrounding America. The declaration "all men are created equal..." rang hollow before the facts of Negro life in the South and the big cities of the North. The proclaimed peaceful intentions of the United States contradicted its economic and military investments in the Cold War status quo.We witnessed, and continue to witness, other paradoxes. With nuclear energy whole cities can easily be powered, yet the dominant nation-states seem more likely to unleash destruction greater than that incurred in all wars of human history. Although our own technology is destroying old and creating new forms of social organization, men still tolerate meaningless work and idleness. While two-thirds of mankind suffers undernourishment, our own upper classes revel amidst superfluous abundance. Although world population is expected to double in forty years, the nations still tolerate anarchy as a major principle of international conduct and uncontrolled exploitation governs the sapping of the earth's physical resources. Although mankind desperately needs revolutionary leadership, America rests in national stalemate, its goals ambiguous and tradition-bound instead of informed and clear, its democratic system apathetic and manipulated rather than "of, by, and for the people."Not only did tarnish appear on our image of American virtue, not only did disillusion occur when the hypocrisy of American ideals was discovered, but we began to sense that what we had originally seen as the American Golden Age was actually the decline of an era. The world-wide outbreak of revolution against colonialism and imperialism, the entrenchment of totalitarian states, the menace of war, overpopulation, international disorder, super te chnology─ these trends weretesting the tenacity of our own commitment to democracy and freedom and our abilities to visualize their application to a world in upheaval.Our work is guided by the sense that we may be the last generation in the experim ent with living. But we are a minority─ the vast majority of our people regard the temporary equilibriums of our society and world as eternally functional parts. In this is perhaps the outstanding paradox: we ourselves are imbued with urgency, yet the message of our society is that there is no viable alternative to the present. Beneath the reassuring tones of the politicians, beneath the common opinion that America will "muddle through," beneath the stagnation of those who have closed their minds to the future, is the pervading feeling that there simply are no alternatives, that our times have witnessed the exhaustion not only of Utopias, but of any new departures as well. Feeling the press of complexity upon the emptiness of life, people are fearful of the thought that at any moment things might be thrust out of control. They fear change itself, since change might smash whatever invisible framework seems to hold back chaos for them now. For most Americans, all crusades are suspect, threatening. The fact that each individual sees apathy in his fellows perpetuates the common reluctance to organize for change. The dominant institutions are complex enough to blunt the minds of their potential critics, and entrenched enough to swiftly dissipate or entirely repel the energies of protest and reform, thus limiting human expectancies. Then, too, we are a materially improved society, and by our own improvements we seem to have weakened the case for further change.Some would have us believe that Americans feel contentment amidst prosperity─ but might it not better be called a glaze above deeply felt anxieties about their role in the new world? And if these anxieties produce a developed indifference to human affairs, do they not as well produce a yearning to believe there is an alternative to the present, that something can be done to change circumstances in the school, the workplaces, the bureaucracies, the government? It is to this latter yearning, at once the spark and engine of change, that we direct our present appeal. The search for truly democratic alternatives to the present, and a commitment to social experimentation with them, is a worthy and fulfilling human enterprise, one which moves us and, we hope, others today. On such a basis do we offer this document of our convictions and analysis: as an effort in understanding and changing the conditions of humanity in the late twentieth century, an effort rooted in the ancient, still unfulfilled conception of man attaining determining influence over his circumstances of life.。
未来职业选择考虑兴趣还是就业前景英语作文
未来职业选择考虑兴趣还是就业前景英语作文Should I Follow My Interests or Look at Job Prospects When Choosing a Career?Hi, my name is Jamie and I'm in 5th grade. I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to be when I grow up. It's a really tough decision! There are so many cool jobs out there. I could be a video game designer, a chef, an astronaut, or a zookeeper just to name a few. The world is full of possibilities.My parents always tell me I should choose a career that I'm really interested in and passionate about. They say if you love what you do, you'll never feel like you're actually working. That sounds amazing! I definitely don't want to be stuck doing something boring that I hate every single day. Life is too short for that.But my teacher Ms. Roberts says we also need to think about which jobs will be in demand and have good prospects when we're older. She says some careers like truck drivers and cashiers might not exist anymore because of automation and technology advancements. Other fields like renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity are all growing a ton. If I pick aninterest where there aren't many job openings, it could be really hard to actually get hired.So do I go with my heart and pursue my biggest interests and passions? Or do I make a more pragmatic decision based on where the job markets are headed? It's a tough call!Let me walk through some of the interests and potential careers I'm considering:Video Game DesignThis is probably my biggest passion right now. I'm obsessed with playing video games like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite.I're constantly coming up with new game ideas and thinking about how to build virtual worlds and tell stories through games. Whenever we get free time in computer class, I'm always tinkering with game design software.The pros are that it's something I'm super interested in and really enjoy. I have lots of experience playing games already. And the video game industry seems to always be growing with new games, systems, and innovations coming out all the time.The cons are that it's probably a very competitive field with way more people wanting to get into it than there are jobs. It might also be harder to get hired since a lot of video gamecompanies hire people from specialized design schools and programming backgrounds that I don't have yet.Zoo KeeperI went on a field trip to the zoo last year and it was the best day ever! I loved seeing all the different animals up close and learning about their habitats, behaviors, and how zookeepers care for them. For weeks afterwards I was telling anyone who would listen how I wanted to be a zookeeper when I grow up.The pros here are that I'm really fascinated by animals and it allows me to work hands-on with them every day. It seems like a fun job where you're never doing the same thing. Zoos also seem to always need keepers to staff their exhibits.The cons are that it doesn't pay very well from what I've read. It can also be kind of stinky and dirty dealing with animal waste all the time. And zoos don't seem to be growing as much as other industries with more people wanting experiences through technology.ChefMy parents say I'm an amazing cook for my age, especially when it comes to baking. I love experimenting with new recipes and coming up with my own weird combinations of flavors.Cooking shows are my favorite thing to watch on TV. It's like an art form to me.The pros of being a chef are that I'm really interested in and skilled at cooking already. People will always need to eat food so chefs should continue being in demand. And if I get really good at it, maybe I could have my own restaurant or tv show one day.The cons are that it's a really tough job with long hours on your feet in a hot kitchen. Since it's such hard work, the industry also has pretty high turnover from what I've heard. So even though new jobs open up, there's a lot of competition for them.AstronautI've had dreams of floating through space and walking on the moon ever since I went to space camp over the summer. Learning about planets, stars, and exploring the unknown just seems so cool!The pros are that it combines my interest in science with doing something noble and making everyone proud. It would be incredible to actually go to space and contribute to important discoveries and space missions.The cons are that there are very few astronaut positions available each year out of a huge pool of applicants. I'd have toget very specialized degrees and training over a decade or more. And the physical demands and risks of being an astronaut seem really intense. I'm not sure if I have what it takes.Artificial Intelligence EngineerThis career isn't even on my radar really, but Ms. Roberts brought it up as a great example of an emerging field I should consider. She said artificial intelligence is going to keep growing and impacting every facet of the future economy and job market.The pros are that it seems like AI will be a booming industry with lots of job opportunities for a long time. AI engineers appear to make good money and it allows you to work on cutting edge, world-changing technologies.The cons are that I'm not really interested or familiar with this field at all. I have no programming experience yet and don't know if I'd even find it engaging or fun. It seems a bit too complex and abstract for me compared to more hands-on careers.Renewable Energy ExpertAnother career Ms. Roberts mentioned in her big lecture about job prospects was renewable energy like solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power. She said this is a sectorthat will keep expanding as the world transitions to more sustainable energy sources over the coming decades.The pros are that it's a growing field tackling really important work to combat climate change and create a greener future for the planet. I do enjoy learning about the environment and ecological issues, so the subject matter could interest me.The cons are that while the industry may grow, I'm not necessarily passionate about being an engineer or working in energy specifically. There are probably other ways I could work on environmental initiatives that might be a better fit for my skills and interests.Whew, that's a lot to consider! When I map it all out, I can see some clear tradeoffs between following my core interests versus looking at stable careers and growth areas.On the interests side, my biggest passions are video games, animals/zoos, cooking/baking, space exploration and astronomy. Those are all topics that really excite me and seem fun to potentially pursue as a career.But the job prospects and opportunities in some of those fields don't seem as promising based on the research I've done. While they may spark my curiosity and make me happy on aday-to-day basis, there could be a lot of competition for limited job openings. That could lead to challenges finding a role and job security down the road.In contrast, fields like artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and cybersecurity may not get me jumping for joy, but they are clearly industries that are expanding rapidly. Robots, green technology, and computer systems are the future. There's huge demand for skilled workers in those areas. Even if they aren't necessarily my childhood dreams, those could lead to very secure and well-paying career paths.So what's the right approach as a kid just trying to figure out my future? Is it better to chase my passions and worry about job stuff later? Or should I start prioritizing growth fields now, even if they don't naturally interest me as much yet?Honestly, I go back and forth. Part of me wants to say just follow your heart and the rest will work itself out. If you pour yourself into something you love, you'll find a way to make it work and be fulfilled. Isn't that what life is all about? We're only young once, so we should spend it doing what makes us happy rather than picking based on just career prospects.But then the pragmatic side of me thinks about being financially stable, finding a good job, and being able to providefor myself and a family one day. There's a bit more security and peace of mind in going into a booming industry that truly values your skills. I've seen stories of people who pursued their passions as artists or actors and really struggled to get by. While they may have been spiritually satisfied, the instability took a big toll.My current thinking is that I should try to find a balanced career that provides the best of both worlds - something that interests me enough to be engaged but also has enough opportunity and job growth that I can realistically get hired and make a good living at it.For example, if being a zookeeper doesn't seem like it has enough longevity, maybe I could work in conservation science and study animals while also exploring that booming environmental field Ms. Roberts mentioned. Or if the cooking route seems too grueling, perhaps I could combine my food creativity with an industry like media and host my own kids cooking show or YouTube channel.The amazing thing is, I'm only in 5th grade! I have so much time to explore different subjects and see where my curiosities take me. This is just the start of figuring out the direction I want to go.For now,。

帮助贫困的人可以做些什么英语作文
帮助贫困的人可以做些什么英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1What Can We Do to Help Those Living in Poverty?Poverty is one of the biggest issues facing the world today. Despite the amazing advances in technology, medicine, and living standards that humanity has achieved, there are still billions of people struggling just to survive. As a student, I often feel powerless in the face of such a massive global problem. How can one person truly make a difference when the scale of poverty is so vast? However, I've come to realize that even small actions can create ripples of positive change. There are numerous ways that students like myself can chip in to assist those living in dire circumstances.One of the most direct ways to help is through volunteering and charity work. Food banks, homeless shelters, and other non-profit organizations are always in need of volunteers to distribute meals, sort donations, and provide services to the underprivileged. A few hours of our time each week or month can tangibly improve lives. We may take having enough to eatfor granted, but for many families, securing their next meal is a constant struggle. By volunteering at a food bank or soup kitchen, we can ensure someone doesn't go to bed hungry that night.In addition to donating our time, monetary contributions can go a long way as well. Even small amounts add up when multiplied across many donors. There are countless wonderful charities that work tirelessly to provide essentials like clean water, health care, education, and economic opportunities to impoverished communities globally. A donation as little as the cost of a fancy coffee could help a child access vital vaccinations and medical treatment. We may not be able to solve poverty single-handedly, but we can certainly make a positive impact with our pocket money.Beyond charitable actions, an incredibly powerful way for students to help is by using our voices. In this age of social media and viral activism, we have the ability to shine a light on important issues like never before. Creating posts, videos, and digital campaigns raising awareness about the realities of living in poverty can inspire others to take action. Many people simply aren't exposed to these harsh truths in their daily lives, so advocacy and consciousness-raising are crucial first steps. Bystarting conversations, we can shift perspectives and drive more support for organizations and political movements working to uplift impoverished populations.On a more personal level, students should also strive to empathize with and humanize those experiencing poverty. It's easy to look at staggering statistics and see the poor as just a faceless, distant mass. We must remind ourselves that these are real human beings-mothers, fathers, children, families-facing unimaginable challenges and hardships through no fault of their own. Learning about their individual stories, struggles, hopes, and aspirations breaks down the barriers that make it easy to disengage. The more we can connect with the humanity of people living in poverty, the more motivated we'll be to enact change.As the future leaders, innovators, and driving forces of society, the current generation of students has a pivotal role to play in finally ending the cycle of poverty. While widespread policy changes and large-scale interventions from governments and multinational organizations are crucial, we shouldn't underestimate the power of individual actions multiplied across millions of conscientious citizens. Small steps like being more conscious consumers who support ethical businesses, pursuingcareers oriented towards social impact, and prioritizing political candidates with robust anti-poverty platforms can collectively reshape society's priorities.On campus, student organizations should step up efforts to promote opportunities for volunteerism, fundraising, and activism focused on poverty alleviation. Universities should examine ways to make education more affordable and accessible to underprivileged students, helping break generational cycles of poverty through upward mobility. Meanwhile, departments conducting research into relevant fields like public policy, economics, social work, sustainability, and human rights should prioritize projects that could yield insights or innovations benefiting impoverished populations.Ultimately, ensuring basic human rights and dignities for all people should be one of our generation's highest callings. Poverty is an injustice that deprives billions of their fundamental freedoms, potentials, and abilities to live with health and happiness. It relegates entire communities to the sidelines as the world progresses technologically and economically without them. For those of us who have been blessed with access to education, opportunity, and the resources to not just survive but thrive, we have a moral duty to pay those advantages forward.Apathy and inaction in the face of such staggering inequality is unacceptable, especially for an idealistic generation of students who embrace values of equality, human rights, and building a better world. There's an Uruguayan proverb that says, "No hay viento favorable para el que no sabe dónde va" - there is no favorable wind for those who don't know where they're going. Well, our moral compass as a generation should point us towards eliminating poverty and uplifting the most vulnerable. It's up to us to adjust our sails and channel our passions into creating that favorable wind of change.篇2What Can We Do to Help the Poor?Poverty is a massive global issue that impacts the lives of billions of people around the world. As students, we are taught about inequality and injustice, but often it can feel very abstract and disconnected from our daily lives. However, the reality is that poverty has a very real and tangible impact on communities, families, and individuals everywhere. The question we need to ask ourselves is - what can we actually do about it?The first step is educating ourselves on the complex root causes and far-reaching consequences of poverty. It's not justabout a lack of money, but a cyclical deprivation that impacts every aspect of a person's life - their access to food, clean water, shelter, healthcare, education and job opportunities. Poverty is both a cause and a consequence of things like poor health, lack of education, unemployment, and discrimination. It leaves people vulnerable to exploitation, crime, and cycles of debt and hardship that can be incredibly difficult to escape.Once we understand the immense challenges faced by those living in poverty, we can start exploring ways that we as students can help make a positive difference. And there are so many potential avenues we can pursue.One powerful way to help is by volunteering our time and energy with organizations working to fight poverty on the front lines. This could involve doing hands-on work in local shelters, food banks, community outreach programs, or tutoring and mentorship initiatives. Even just a few hours per week can provide much-needed assistance and human connection to those in need.We can also utilize our skills and talents to raise funds and awareness for poverty alleviation efforts. Things like organizing charity events, starting donation drives, or creating educational campaigns allow us to directly marshall resources and publicsupport to address this critical issue. In our digital age, we have the ability to share information and rally people on a large scale.For those of us seeking to make an even greater long-term impact, we may want to consider pursuing careers and educational paths that will allow us to work in the anti-poverty space professionally. Studying fields like economics, public policy, social work, community development, and international aid can open doors to become advocates, activists, analysts or organizational leaders in this arena.But we don't have to take the conventional routes to make a difference. We can get creative and innovative with techniques like sustainable entrepreneurship - developing business models, products or services that specifically benefit and empower those in poverty. We can explore ways to apply new technologies to improve access to things like digital education, remote work opportunities, mobile banking and affordable healthcare. Thinking outside the box is how major positive disruptions occur.On an individual level, we also must be conscious consumers who make ethical purchasing decisions that don't exploit or perpetuate poverty. We should critically examine where our goods come from and under what labor conditions they were produced. We can prioritize buying from companies and brandswith positive social impacts, sustainable supply chains, and fair wages for their workers across the globe.Furthermore, we should leverage our rights and voices in democratic societies to advocate for political policies, government programs and legislation that protects the most vulnerable members of society. Things like increasing minimum wages, funding affordable housing initiatives, improving access to education, healthcare and childcare services - these are all critical areas where we can push for systemic changes as engaged citizens.Ultimately though, I think one of the most important things we can do as students is to simply change our own mindsets and behaviors when it comes to how we view and treat those in poverty. Too often, there is a lack of empathy, understanding and basic human compassion shown towards the impoverished. We make unfair judgements, buy into negative stereotypes, or just prioritize our own self-interests over anybody else's struggles.We need to check ourselves and root out these prejudices because stigmatizing and dehumanizing attitudes only perpetuate harm and make it harder for people to lift themselves out of poverty. We should strive to see the full dignity, potentialand humanity in every person - regardless of their socioeconomic status. Something as simple as being kind, respectful and seeing things from other perspectives can make a world of difference.In the end, alleviating poverty will require coordinated efforts across every level of society - from individuals, communities, organizations, governments, and countries all playing their part. As students representing the future leaders and innovators of tomorrow, we have a profound responsibility to be at the forefront of driving ethical, sustainable, and equitable change on this crucial issue.The millions stuck in the vicious cycles of poverty deserve to have their human rights upheld and to be given genuine pathways out of their hardships. With enough care, commitment and creativity from all of us, I'm hopeful that we can absolutely make meaningful strides towards lifting people out of poverty and creating a more just world for all.篇3What Can We Do to Help the Poor?Poverty is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Millions of people live in extreme poverty, struggling toget enough food, clean water, shelter and other basic necessities. As students, we are taught about the importance of helping those less fortunate than ourselves. But what can we actually do to make a real difference in the fight against poverty?First, I think it's important to understand the root causes of poverty. It's not just about lacking money – poverty is often the result of complex social, political and economic factors. Things like lack of access to education, healthcare, job opportunities and discrimination can all contribute to the cycle of poverty. To really tackle this issue, we need comprehensive solutions that address the systemic inequalities in our societies.That said, there are still many ways that ordinary people like us can help make the world a little bit better for those living in poverty. One of the most direct ways is through charitable donations to effective aid organizations working on the ground to provide food, clean water, shelter, medical care and other essential services. A little money can go a long way in places where even a few dollars is a substantial amount. We may not be able to solve global poverty on our own, but our contributions can absolutely make a difference in individual lives.Beyond just donating money, we can also give our time by volunteering with local charities, food banks, shelters andcommunity organizations that serve the poor and homeless in our own neighborhoods. Even little acts of service like serving meals, tutoring kids or helping out at a shelter can have a big impact. And it's a great way for us to get directly involved and see the human faces behind the statistics on poverty.We can also use our voices and platforms as students to raise awareness about poverty and advocate for change. Whether it's writing for our school newspapers, organizing events and fundraisers, or getting involved in activist groups, we have the power to educate others and keep these crucial issues on the social agenda. The more people that know about poverty and its causes, the more momentum there will be for effective solutions.On an individual level, we can make conscious choices as consumers to support businesses, companies and brands that have ethical labor practices and give back to communities in need. We can buy fair trade products, patronize social enterprises, and put our money towards organizations that prioritize corporate social responsibility. It may seem small, but where we choose to spend our money has real impacts.For those of us who hope to enter certain career fields in the future, we may be able to directly apply our skills and knowledgeto serve disadvantaged populations. Future doctors and nurses can volunteer in underserved areas, future teachers can work in high-poverty schools, future engineers can design infrastructure solutions for developing countries, future lawyers can dopro-bono work for the poor, and so on. Choosing careers where we can use our talents to benefit society's most vulnerable is one of the most meaningful things we can do.Of course, not everyone will be able to directly apply their careers to anti-poverty efforts. But we can still find ways to integrate service and giving back into whatever paths we choose. We can mentor underprivileged youth, do skilled volunteering in our areas of expertise, or even just make philanthropy a priority by actively donating portions of our future incomes to effective charities. The bottom line is that helping the poor doesn't have to be reserved for certain careers - it can be a lifelong commitment that anyone can make.Lastly, I think one of the most important things we can do as students is to simply keep learning, keeping open minds, and being willing to reconsider our assumptions about poverty. It's a incredibly complex issue shaped by history, economics, politics, culture and endless other factors. The more we study it from an interdisciplinary perspective, the better we can understand whatpolicies, aid efforts and interventions can really make a difference. We have to be willing to look at evidence, data and expert consensus rather than just going with perceived solutions that make us feel good but may not actually be effective.Fighting poverty isn't easy, but it is a necessity - both a moral imperative and key to creating a more stable, equitable world for everyone. The scale of the problem can feel daunting, but we shouldn't let that paralyze us into inaction. Everything we do to help, whether big or small, has value. By opening our eyes, opening our hearts, and taking concrete steps through donations, volunteering, activism, conscious consumerism and skilled work, we can be a part of the solution. Poverty is one of humanity's greatest tests, but I believe that our generation can help write a better story and create a brighter future where no one has to live without basic dignity and opportunity. We all have a role to play in getting there.。

表对未来充满期待的英语作文标题
表对未来充满期待的英语作文标题全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hopes and Dreams for the FutureI can hardly wait for the future! There are so many amazing things that could happen. My dreams and hopes make me buzz with excitement when I think about what's to come.First off, I really hope that by the time I'm an adult, we'll have figured out a way to live on other planets. How incredible would it be to take a rocket ship vacation to Mars or even further away? I've seen pictures of the reddish soil and rocky landscapes on Mars and it looks like another world. Imagine building a colony there and being one of the first kids raised on a different planet! We'd get to explore landscapes no human has ever set foot on before. Who knows what sorts of crazy Mars rocks or creatures we might find? My classmates and I anyway already pretend to be space explorers during recess. I get to be the brave astronaut who makes the first footprint on a new world. Making that a reality would be a dream come true.I also dream about the future of technology. Right now, we have smartphones, tablets, laptops, and video games that are super high-tech. But I bet in 20 or 30 years, our technology will be even more mind-blowing! Maybe we'll have holographic video games where you can actually step into the action and it feels completely real. Or maybe we'll have translator microsystems implanted in our brains so we can understand any language perfectly. Or what about visiting "virtual worlds" with virtual reality headsets that make those worlds seem 100% real? The possibilities are endless for how technology could advance and make our lives easier and more fun.Another big hope I have for the future is that we'll have found a cure for all diseases. It makes me so sad when people get sick from terrible illnesses like cancer. I can't even imagine how scary and difficult that must be. With future medicine and scientific breakthroughs, I'm hopeful that we'll discover the cures to help people beat dreadful diseases. Then kids could grow up without having to worry about getting sick or losing loved ones to sickness. We could all live long, healthy, and happy lives filled with adventures instead of pain and suffering. Everyone deserves to feel great and have a wonderful life.On a similar note, I really want the future to bring an end to world hunger. It's so unfair that some people in the world don't have enough food to eat while others have plenty to eat every day. Why should geography and circumstances determine whether someone gets to eat or starves? In my ideal future world, we'd have systems in place to share and distribute food equally so that no one goes hungry, ever. We're all part of the human family and should take care of each other. World hunger could absolutely be solved, we just need to work together globally and make it a priority.What else does the future hold? I can't wait to see what kinds of new sports, games, entertainment and art get invented. There's always room for fresh ways to have fun, get exercise, and express creativity. I hope I get to travel to places my ancestors could never have dreamed of, both here on Earth and in outer space if space travel for ordinary people becomes more affordable. Maybe in the future kids like me will take school field trips to low-orbit space stations or moon colonies. How epic would that be?!The future gives me a feeling of hopefulness and optimism. Sure, the world has problems today and plenty of things that aren't perfect. But we're making progress every day thanks tonew ideas and hardworking people committed to making life better. Every generation helps move the world forward a little. I'm excited to dream up innovations that could one day become realities. Maybe I'll be a scientist who helps develop awesome new technologies or find cures for diseases? Or maybe I'll become an artist who comes up with wild new art forms? I don't know what career I'll have, but I know my future is full of potential.Us kids today are pretty lucky - we'll get to experience so many new frontiers and jaw-dropping advancements in our lifetimes. My hopes and dreams might seem far-fetched or even impossible right now. But I'm staying optimistic because with human determination and perseverance, anything is possible. The future ahead of us is filled with unlimited potential and opportunities. I can't wait to grow up and see how the world continues to change, progress and evolve for the better. We're just getting started!篇2Looking Forward to the FutureThe future is something that has always fascinated me. It's a vast expanse of possibilities and unknowns, filled with bothexcitement and a hint of uncertainty. As a young student, I can't help but wonder what lies ahead, and the thought of it fills me with a sense of wonder and anticipation.When I think about the future, my mind instantly wanders to the realm of technology. I've heard stories from my parents and grandparents about how different the world was when they were young, and how rapidly things have changed over the years. It's mind-boggling to imagine what new inventions and advancements might be in store for us in the coming decades.Will we have flying cars like the ones we see in sci-fi movies? Or maybe even teleportation devices that can transport us from one place to another in the blink of an eye? The possibilities seem endless, and I can't wait to see what kinds of groundbreaking technologies will shape our lives in the years to come.But the future isn't just about technology; it's also about the world around us and how we interact with it. I often wonder what the planet will look like in the future and how we can protect it from the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation. Will we find new ways to generate clean energy and reduce our carbon footprint? Or will we discover innovativesolutions to combat pollution and preserve our natural resources?I'm hopeful that as we move forward, we'll become more conscious of our impact on the environment and take steps to create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Maybe we'll see the development of eco-friendly cities or even colonies on other planets, where we can live in harmony with nature and explore the vast expanse of space.Speaking of space, the idea of exploring other worlds and galaxies is something that truly excites me. Will we finally make contact with extraterrestrial life forms? Or perhaps we'll establish colonies on Mars or even venture beyond our solar system to uncharted territories. The universe is so vast and filled with mysteries, and the thought of uncovering its secrets fills me with a sense of wonder and curiosity.But the future isn't just about scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs; it's also about the human experience and how we navigate the world around us. I often wonder what kinds of careers and opportunities will be available to me when I grow up. Will traditional professions still exist, or will entirely new fields emerge as a result of technological and societal changes?Perhaps I'll become a robotics engineer, designing and programming advanced machines to assist us in our daily lives. Or maybe I'll be a virtual reality architect, creating immersive digital worlds for people to explore and experience. The possibilities seem endless, and the thought of contributing to the shaping of our future society fills me with a sense of purpose and excitement.Of course, the future isn't just about work and technological advancements; it's also about personal growth andself-discovery. As I navigate the years ahead, I'll undoubtedly face challenges and obstacles, but I'm confident that these experiences will shape me into a stronger and more resilient individual.I'll learn valuable life lessons, forge lasting friendships, and develop a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. The journey may not always be easy, but it's these experiences that will help me grow and prepare me for the adventures and opportunities that lie ahead.As I look towards the future, I can't help but feel a sense of optimism and enthusiasm. While there may be uncertainties and challenges along the way, I'm confident that with determination, creativity, and a willingness to learn and adapt, we can overcomeany obstacles and create a brighter, more promising future for ourselves and generations to come.The world is constantly evolving, and each day brings new opportunities for growth, discovery, and progress. So, as I embark on this exciting journey, I'll embrace the unknown with open arms, ready to tackle whatever comes my way and contribute to shaping a future that is filled with wonder, innovation, and endless possibilities.篇3Looking Forward to My Bright FutureEver since I was a tiny kid, I've been dreaming about what the future might hold. When I was really little, I imagined fantastical things like being a superhero who could fly or having a pet dragon. As I've gotten older though, my ideas have become a bit more grounded, but no less exciting!One thing I can't wait for is to grow up and get my dream job. I've had lots of different ideas over the years for what I want to be when I grow up. For a while, I really wanted to be a paleontologist and dig up dinosaur bones. That idea stuck around for quite a few years actually. I was utterly obsessed with all things prehistoric back then. I had so many dinosaur toys andbooks. I watched all the dinosaur movies and documentaries I could find.Eventually though, I moved on to dreaming about different careers. There was a phase where I desperately wanted to be a chef and have my own restaurant or bakery. I spent hours watching cooking shows and trying to recreate fancy dishes and pastries in our kitchen at home. My poor parents had to suffer through lots of experimental meals that didn't always turn out so great. Still, it was good practice for the future, right?More recently, I've become really interested in the idea of being an inventor or engineer. I love building and tinkering with things to figure out how they work. It would be so cool to come up with a brand new invention that changes the world! Maybe I'll design new advanced robots or create some kind of amazing future transportation system. The possibilities seem limitless when it comes to science and technology.Of course, there's still plenty of time for my dream career to change again before I'm an adult. Kids my age tend to go through a lot of different phases and obsessions. Just because I'm into one thing today doesn't mean it will necessarily stick around forever. I try to keep an open mind and stay curiousabout all the possibilities out there. Who knows what new, emerging field might capture my imagination next?Wherever my career path ends up going, I can't wait to one day get my first real job and start becoming independent and self-sufficient. No more having to rely on my parents for everything! I'll get to have my own income and start saving up money. I'll be able to buy anything I want with my hard-earned paychecks. Well, at least after paying all my bills and being financially responsible, of course.With a job will also come more freedom and autonomy than I've ever had before. I'm really looking forward to one day having my own place to live, instead of just a bedroom at my parents' house. Can you imagine how awesome it will be to have a whole house or apartment that is truly my own space? I'll get to decorate however I want and finally have the privacy that comes from not having to share everything with my siblings.Speaking of siblings, I can't wait until I'm old enough to start my own family one day as well. As much as my brothers and sisters drive me crazy sometimes, I'd really love to have kids myself eventually. It will be so amazing to witness all those incredible childhood milestones through the eyes of a parent. Teaching them to walk, reading bedtime stories, going on familyvacations...these are the kinds of experiences that make up the best memories in life.Of course, that's all still many years away for me. I've still got a ton of living to do as a kid before I'll be ready for the responsibilities of adulthood. When I look ahead at the coming years though, there's so much on the horizon that fills me with excitement and optimism! I can't wait to get my driver's license and the freedom that will come with being able to drive myself wherever I want to go. Sleepovers and weekend trips with friends are going to be a total blast.Then there are the big teenage milestones to look forward to as well. I can't wait to attend my first school dances, go to prom, and experience other quintessential high school experiences like that. Will I find a high school sweetheart or have some kind of cringeworthy puppy love phase? Only time will tell! There are sure to be plenty of awkward, embarrassing, and just plain weird moments ahead, but that's all just part of growing up.After high school, the real adventure will begin with going off to college. The idea of moving away to university is both thrilling and a little bit scary to think about. It will be my first time really being on my own and fending for myself away from my family. Just imagining the independence of dorm life and beingsurrounded by new people from all over is enough to make me giddy. I can't wait to dive into my areas of study and start figuring out my true passion in life.At the same time, I know college will be challenging in ways I can't yet fully comprehend. I'll be stretched further than ever before, both academically and personally. There will be lots of long nights fueled by energy drinks while I cram for exams and work on huge term papers. I'm sure I'll go through bouts of homesickness, failures and disappointments that I'll have to overcome. Becoming an adult doesn't happen overnight, and those years will be a huge period of growth and maturity.That's what makes the future so exciting and full of possibilities though! I don't just look ahead and see a straight, narrow path. Instead, it's a winding road full of twists, turns, ups and downs. There will be hardships to face and obstacles to overcome, but also countless opportunities for joy, adventure and self-discovery along the way. The challenges will help shape me into who I'll eventually become.When I look ahead to my life decades from now, I see myself as a well-rounded, happy, and successful person. At the same time, I know my specific path could go in countless different directions. I could end up married with kids or remain single andunattached. I might live in a huge city or settle down in a quiet small town. Maybe my career will involve lots of travel and seeing the world, or perhaps I'll find reward in putting down roots in one community. There's simply no way to know all the choices and chances that lie ahead.That's what makes the future so simultaneously thrilling and terrifying all at once. It's uncertain and full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled. While that randomness and unpredictability might make some people feel anxious or apprehensive, I choose to embrace it with optimism and enthusiasm. To me, not knowing what's around every corner makes my life a grand adventure full of exciting surprises.Some kids dream of becoming rich and famous movie stars, athletes or celebrities when they grow up. Those kinds of things don't really appeal to me though. My greatest aspiration is simply to lead a life filled with happiness, love and meaning. I hope to find a career that I'm genuinely passionate about and that makes a positive difference in the world. I want to be surrounded by friends and family who enrich my life in immeasurable ways. More than anything, I strive to live life to the absolute fullest, squeezing every last drop of joy and experience out of each and every day.The future stretches out ahead of me, blank and full of possibilities like an empty canvas waiting to be painted. It's up to me to work hard, make wise choices, and fill that canvas with all of my hopes and dreams come to life. All I know is that the picture I hope to create is one of kindness, integrity and making the most of the precious life I've been given.So while I can't yet see exactly what's in store for me, I face my future with open arms and an open heart. Life won't always be easy, but I'm ready to meet every challenge head on with courage and determination. The road ahead will be full of unexpected twists and turns, speed bumps and smooth cruising. It's going to be one incredible journey, and I couldn't be more excited and optimistic about the adventure that awaits!。

阅读这部小说我们很容易注意到嘉莉不断升级的需要及日益增长的欲望，及在追求欲望的过程中对传统道德的违背。
本文主要依据马斯洛层次需求理论，分析嘉莉及与嘉莉妹妹关系密切的两位男主人公，在不同时期的不同需要，并分析这些欲望产生的原因，即一方面是人物内在的欲望，另一方面是环境、城市的诱惑等外在因素。
这两方面的相互作用最终导致嘉莉陷入精神的迷失。
《嘉莉妹妹》的故事似乎在警示我们，在物质越来越发达的今天，人们不应该盲目追求物质的享受，而应该充分认识到精神带给人们的幸福感和满足感,思索自己人生的意义和价值所在。
关键词：嘉莉妹妹；欲望；层次需求理论AbstractSister Carrie tells the story of a small country girl Carrie who moves to Chicago to realize her “American Dream” and eventually becomes a Broadway star in New York. Despite living a luxurious life, she is lost in spirit. Reading the novel, we may easily notice Carrie’s different needs and desires arising gradually and also the betrayal of traditional moral code in the process of pursuing material gain. The paper analyzes the reasons why Carrie and two male heroes closed to her have various needs at different stages of life, mainly based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. One is figures’inner desires; the other is the outside force, including temptations of environment, cites, etc. The interaction between them makes Carrie lose herself eventually. It seems to tell people that in modern society material supplies more and more abundantly, but we should never pursue it blindly and much importance should be attached to happiness and stability created by spirit. It is essential to ponder the significance and the value of life.Key words: Sister Carrie; desire; hierarchy of needsContentsChapter 1 General Introduction (1)1.1 About the author and the novel (1)1.1.1 The author: Theodore Dreiser (1)1.1.2 The novel: Sister Carrie (1)1.2 About Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs (2)Chapter 2 Carrier’s needs (4)2.1 Carrie’s primary needs (4)2.1.1 The physiological needs: leaving for Chicago (4)2.1.2 The safety needs: becoming Drouet’s mistress (5)2.2 Carrie’s higher level needs (6)2.2.1 The love and belonging needs — awaking step (6)2.2.2 The esteem needs — advanced development (7)2.2.3 The self-actualization needs — ultimate goal (8)Chapter 3 Drouet’s needs (10)3.1 Drouet’s primary needs (10)3.1.1 The physiological needs: the pursuit of Carrie (10)3.1.2 The safety needs: the satisfaction of material (11)3.2 Droue t’s higher level needs (12)Chapter 4 Hurstwood’s needs (13)4.1 Hurstwood’s needs in Chicago (13)4.1.1 Hurstwood’s physiological needs (13)4.1.2 Hurstwood’s safety needs (14)4.1.3 Hurstwood’s love and belonging needs (14)4.2 Hurstwood’s needs in New York (15)Conclusion (17)References (19)Acknowledgments (20)Chapter 1 General Introduction1.1 About the author and the novel1.1.1 The author: Theodore DreiserTheodore Dreiser is the most outstanding realistic novelist in the history of American literature. He is also an American naturalistic writer famous for the exploration of realistic life. Dreiser was born in Indiana in a poor German immigrant family. When Dreiser was eight, his mother was forced by the pressure of living, left home with him and three other young children, wandered from one town to another in the Midwest. The family lived a tough and criticized life. Dreiser’s childhood also endured poverty and ignorance.In 1887, he came to Chicago alone, worked in restaurants and hardware companies. In spite of this, he was attracted by the city life full of excitement and stimulation. In 1889, “he was sponsored by a sympathetic middle school teacher to study at the University of Indiana. But he dropped out of school the next year, returned to Chicago to become a debt collector in a real estate and furniture company” (Wang Sixiang, 2009: 158). This job led him to come into contact with the underworld characters and the dark side of society, accumulated a wealth of material for the future creation. It also determined the naturalistic color and the tragic thought of his creation. Dreiser entered the press in 1892, started to be a journalist. In Chicago, he witnessed the strong contrast of extreme poverty and extravagant life. These experiences are the beginning of his thought, which led him to create his own novel.1.1.2 The novel: Sister CarrieSister Carrie, Theodore Dreiser’s first novel, is a good work of epoch-making significance in the history of American fiction. This novel tells the story of Caroline Meeber, a pretty rural girl, leaves her rural home to make a living in Chicago. On the train, she meets Charles Drouet, a traveling salesman. The harsh reality shatters her dream. At the same time, in front of her is unemployment and disease. In desperation she becomes Drouet’s mistress. Later, due to the greater desire, she becomes the hotelmanager Hurstwood’s mistress. Hurstwood and Carrie elope to New York, and Carrie becomes a popular actor by chance and squeezes into the upper class. However, Hurstwood becomes poorer and finally committed suicide. The life of upper class does not make her feel satisfied. She feels empty and can not find the real meaning of life. In the loneliness and desolation, she sits in a rocking chair dreaming of the happiness that she would not get.The novel reveals the cruel squeezing of the American capitalist system for poor people and the corrosive action of bourgeois lifestyle for petty bourgeois. And the moral concept the novel reflects is also a counter-tradition. Because Carrie rather than be punished for her depravity, but becomes a popular star of musical comedies finally. Therefore, this book has aroused widespread concern in society since it was published, was banned for a time which led up to intense controversy of the literary world for more than 30 years until it is regarded as a classic to gain public recognition. Until today the novel was born one hundred years later, people are still controversial about Carrie’s character and behavior, especially her endless desire.1.2 About Maslow’s hierarchy of human needsIn Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, there are five kinds of needs ranging from lower level to higher level. These are physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization needs. (1)The physiological needs — it is the most basic requirement of human beings, including food, sleep, water, secretion, and sex. If any one of these needs, except sex, can not be satisfied, the physiological function of human can not operate normally. In other words, the life of human would be threatened. In this sense, the physiological need is the primary motivation of people’s action. Maslow believes that only those basic needs be met, the other needs can become new motivating factors. And to this point, the needs has been relatively satisfied will no longer be motivating factors. (2)The safety needs — it is the demand for the following things: personal and property safety, health care, job security and family safety. Maslow believes that the pursuit of the whole organism is a security mechanism, the human receptors, effectors’ organs, intelligence and other forms of energy are mainly seeking safety tools. We can even put both science and philosophy as part of meeting the security needs. (3)The love and belonging needs — if both physiological and safety needs are relatively well satisfied, and then there will emerge the love and belonging needs. Everyone wants to get mutual concern and care.The love and belonging needs is more meticulous than the physiological needs. It relates to a person’s physiological characteristics, experience, education and religion. Generally people will hunger for affectionate relations with others, for a place in the group and have a family. (4)The esteem needs — everyone wants to have a stable social status. And it requests that personal ability and achievements are recognized by the society. These needs can be divided into two parts. First is the desire for strength, achievement, adequacy, confidence and freedom. Secondly, we have what we may call the desire for reputation, attention, importance or appreciation. Satisfaction of the esteem need can make people have confidence, worth, strength, capability and adequacy of being useful and necessary in the world. (5)The self-actualization needs — it is the highest level of needs. It refers to the realization of personal ideals, aspirations and the individual’s ability to the greatest degree. Maslow notes that in order to satisfy self-actualization needs, different people take different measures. The self-actualization need is an effort to realize their potential. It is to make them become the characters they desire to be.These basic needs are related to each one and another, but any physiological and safety needs that remain unsatisfied will keep playing an important role, and needs at one level do not have to be completely satisfied before needs at the next higher level come into play. This means that the highest goal will monopolize consciousness and will tend to organize the recruitment of the various capacities of the organism. The lower needs are minimized, even forgotten or denied. But when a need is fairly well satisfied, the next higher need emerges,in turn to dominate the conscious life and to serve as the center of organization of behavior, since gratified needs are not active motivators.Chapter 2 Carrier’s needs2.1 Carrie’s primary needs2.1.1 The physiological needs: leaving for ChicagoBy the end of the Civil War (1861-1865), most of the forces that would typify twentieth century American had begun to emerge. Northern industrialism had triumphed over southern agrarianism. The great age of big city bossism began. Americans ceased to be isolated from the world and from each other. Soon the United States had the most extensive railroad system in the world. The tempo of life accelerated as Americans became increasingly mobile. From 1870 to 1890 the total population of the United States doubled. Villages became towns, towns became cities, and cities grew to a size with a speed that would have astonished the Founding Fathers. The population of Chicago increased twenty times to two million, making it the nation’s second largest city after New York. The national income quadrupled. It was the beginning of what Mark Twain called “The Gilded Age”. Thousands and thousands of men, women and children native-born and foreign, flooded to American cities, drawn by hopes for making their fortune. They believed that anyone could grasp an opportunity to attain success through honest and hard work. Just as American naturalists argued: the world was amoral, that men and women had no free will, that their lives were controlled by heredity and the environment.Dreiser clothed the social phenomenon of so-called “American Dream” through his character, Carrie. At the beginning of the novel, the heroin, Carrie, keeps pace with the general trend of the time, and moves to Chicago, which is not far away from her hometown. She is eighteen years old, bright, timid, and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth:And yet she was interested in her charms, quickly to understand the keenerpleasures of life, ambitious to gain in material things. A half-equipped littleknight she was, venturing to reconnoiter the mysterious city and dreamingwild dreams of some vague, far-off supremacy, which should make it preyand subject-the proper penitent, groveling at a woman’s slipper. (TheodoreDreiser, 1979: 3)In Maslow’s view, humans are wanting beings, mainly because humans are not satisfied with the status and are eager to achieve a higher realm. Desire is one of the strong emotions which tells people that he is still curious to exist, that he still have an edge on his longings and want to bite into the world. Carrie is driven by the environment and the internal desire to move to Chicago. Strictly speaking, it is the physiological needs. Carrie wants to change the poor life. She begins to hunt a job to earn money to fulfill her needs. Carrie accepts a job in a shoe factory for four and a half dollars a week. Every week she pays four dollars for her board and lodging. Does the story develop smoothly like this? The author gave a hint by writing “When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse” (Zhang Xiaowei, 2011: 203). Carrie tries to live on her own to start her first step of material pursuit.2.1.2 The safety needs: becoming Drouet’s mistressChicago is a charming city indeed. Carrie is surrounded by various temptations: Carrie passed along the busy aisles, much affected by the remarkabledisplays of trinkets, dress goods, stationary and jewelry. Each separatecounter was a show place of dazzling interest and attraction. She could nothelp feeling the claim of each trinket and valuable upon her personally.There was nothing there which she could not have to used-nothing whichshe did not along to own. The dainty slippers and stockings, the delicatelyfrilled skirts and petticoats, the laces, ribbons, hair-combs, purses, all touchher with individual desires. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 27)She longs for dress and beauty with a whole heart.But the fact is that the cold reality takes her by the hand. First, her sister and brother-in-law live a lean life and consumed by housework. The money left by Carrie every week is not enough for her car fares, let alone clothes, laces, ribbons, etc. And none of those things is in the range of her purchase. Second, in the shoe factory, the machines work intensively. Carrie is not strong. Her shoulders and necks ache in bending over and she is totally exhausted every day. “As Carrie listened to this and much more of similar familiar badinage among the men and the girls, she instinctively withdraws into herself. She feared that the young boys about would address such remarks to he r” (LI Wei, 2011: 278). The wholeatmosphere of the shoe factory is sordid.Carrie does not like to bear the hard work, the foul working condition and the human environment. She hopes to break away from the factory to enjoy physical comfort and from such uncouth men to keep her calm. Third, as the rigorous winter is around the corner, Carrie worries about the problem of winter clothes, for she has nothing to wear. At last, as a result of illness she loses the job and to return hometown seems to be the only choice.According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, if the physiological needs are relatively well gratified, there then emerge the safety needs. The problem is that whether she can satisfy it or not, it depends on the reality which supplies enough conditions or not, besides her own effort. Carrie understands that it is impossible to buy dress and entertain herself by her personal diligence. Drouet is, for Carrie, an escape. She does not love him, but he means a source of amazement, and she recognizes that the relative opulence of his chambers and department he procures for Carrie are the signs of that for which she is striving. Eventually she betrays herself to become Drouet’s mistress to realize her safety need. Carrie and Drouet pay a visit all round the city and go shopping, take part in various activities, enjoy delicious foods. It seems that Carrie has never hesitated,“Money! Money! What a thing it was to have! How plenty of it would clear away all the troubles” (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 82). She surrendered to the magic of money. At the second stage of material pursuit, Carrie has a much stronger desire. She falls in love with it without reason.2.2 Carrie’s higher level needs2.2.1 The love and belonging needs — awaking stepAs the plot goes, the author depicts a panorama of rising needs and desire. On one hand, Carrie is not just satisfied with living together with Drouet:That young lady, under the stress of her situation and the tutelage of hernew friend, changed effectively. She the glow of a more showy life was notupon her. She did not grow in knowledge so much as she awakened in thematter of desire. Mrs. Hale’s extended harangues upon the subjects ofwealth and position taught her to distinguish between degrees of wealth.(Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 140)When she comes to her own room, Carrie sees her comparative poverty. She is not comparing it with what she has had, but what she has seen recently. She begins toponder what, after all, Drouet is and what she is. On the other hand, Carrie fears of losing Drouet’s affection, of being abandoned, and also she longs for someone to sympathize with her, but not let her ponder and wonder. It makes clear to Carrie that Drouet could not understand her. He just cares about her beauty. When Carrie is sorrow, he only asks her to dance. Carrie feels lonely and forsaken. What’s more, Carrie believes Drouet does not plan to marry her. He prefers the single state to any legal bondage. These two sides wake up Carrie’s deep desire. She “hopes to live an extravagant life but not from hand to mouth” (Peng Dankui, 1995: 74). She is eager to be understood and loved. Drouet is only an intermediary in her movement from poverty to affluence. Carrie is ready and longs to change.More wealth and higher status are Carrie’s new goal. At this time, Hurstwood becomes another male stepladder to gratify her needs both in material and spirit. Hurstwood can give her a life of honor. Carrie recognizes the quality of Hurstwood’s clothes, his style and his bearing as distinct improvements on Drouet. Hurstwood shows his thoughts and feelings concerning Carrie. “In contrast, Hurstwood appeared strong and sincere. He had no easy manner of putting her off. He sympathized with her and showed her what her true value was. He needed her, while Drouet did not care” (Gao Chenke, 2011: 115).Though Carrie has achieved her material goal, all in all, she has another need—love. Carrie begins to care about her inner thoughts, which takes the first step of exploring her spirit. Carrie’s spirit pursuit is based on material pursuit.2.2.2 The esteem needs — advanced developmentAfter becoming Hurstwood’s mistress, in a material way, Carrie is considerably improved. Hurstwood writes her regularly-a letter every morning. They both enjoy the happy days. Carrie has an opportunity to take part in a play. It is not an important thing, but because of the prestige of Hurstwood, it is significant. “By the time of the 16th had arrived Hurstwood’s friends had rallied like Romans to a senator’s call. A well-dressed, good-natured, flatteringly-inclined audience was assured from the moment he thought of assisting Carrie”(Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 209). Carrie moves into a new environment. She feels the respect and power of celebrities. Carrie’s needs develop further: the esteem needs. That is the desire for confidence and appreciation:There was nothing bold in her manner. Life had not taught herdomination-superciliousness of grace, which is the lordly power of somewomen. Her longing for consideration was not sufficiently powerful tomove her to demand it. Even now she lacked self-assurance, but there wasthat in what she had already experienced which left her a little less thantimid. She wanted pleasure, she wanted position. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979:176)For Carrie she is nervous. She hopes the play could succeed to gain confidence and appreciation, “The glamour, the tense situation, the fine clothes, the applause, these had lured her until she felt that she, too, could act-that she, too, could compel acknowledgment of power” (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 192). Carrie tries best to explore her potentials.2.2.3 The self-actualization needs — ultimate goalHurstwood coaxes Carrie to elope to New York. But he is merely another man who either cannot hold or find a job. He forces to begin the battle for place and comfort all over again. But his situation becomes worse and worse. At the beginning, he strolls about, and then he just picks his papers up, and stays for day after day. At last, he becomes a beggar completely, lived by other’s charity. Finally he committed suicide by turning on the gas in a Bowery flophouse. When the attraction of material disappears, it is inevitable for Carrie to abandon Hurstwood. The physiological and safety needs play an important role now. Carrie begins to make a livelihood on her own. Different from the former experience, this time, she is successful by her own power without depending on some other men. Carrie becomes an actor because of her pretty-look and her diligence. Her salary rises from 30 dollars to 150 dollars per week. She becomes a famous star. She could possess of her gowns and carriage, her furniture and bank account. But she is alone, “It does not take money long to make plain its important, providing the desires are in the realm of affection. With one hundred and fifty in hand, Carrie could think of nothing particularly to do. In itself, as a tangible, apparent thing which she could touch and look upon, but this soon passed” (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 548).After Carrie gains her economic status, there is only self-actualization need left. And Ames helps Carrie sublimate her spiritual pursuit into the world of literature and philosophy. Ames isn’t attracted by Carrie’s beauty, but there is something in him that has attracted her. Ames says to Carrie that riches are not everything, and there is always a great deal more in the world than she has known. Carrie understands that the thingsAmes pointed out is not money, or clothes, or applauses but a kind heart to serve others. It is an aesthetic world of which Carrie has not dreamed of and which she recognizes as a new peak to conquer and a new level to achieve. Carrie moves to the highest needs, which states that the true value of life is not in what we get but in what we give. This is the ultimate goal in her spiritual world.Chapter 3 Drouet’s needs3.1 Drouet’s primary needs3.1.1 The physiological needs: the pursuit of CarrieDrouet is a man who has a keen desire for the feminine. In the driving of the sexual instinct, he will involuntarily chase every beautiful woman he meets. After seeing beautiful pure Carrie on the train, he is attracted by her. With beautiful clothes, grandiose talk and his experiences of chatting up girls, Drouet wins Carrie’s favor. Just as the author says:Let him meet with a young woman once and he would approach her withan air of kindly familiarity, not unmixed with pleading, which would resultin most cases in a tolerant acceptance. If she showed any tendency tocoquetry he would be apt to straighten her tie, or if she “took up” with himat all, to call her by her first name. If he visited a department store it was tolounge familiarly over the counter and ask some leading questions. In moreexclusive circles, on the train or in waiting stations, he went slower. If someseemingly vulnerable object appeared he was all attention to pass thecompliments of the day to lead the way to the parlor car, carrying her grip,or, failing that, to take a seat next her with the hope of being able to courther to her destination. Pillows, books, a footstool, the shade lowered; allthese figured in the things which he could do. If, when she reached herdestination he did not alight and attend her baggage for her, it was because,in his own estimation, he had signally failed. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979:5) Drouet’s chasing for young beautiful girls is not because he is a cold-blooded, black heart, scheming villain, but because he is full of lust. When Drouet meet Carrie in the street secondly, Carrie was looking for a job and has no winter clothes to wear. Then he use Carrie’s plight to persuade her to leave her sister’s home and l ive together with him. After Carrie beca me Drouet’s mistress, Drouet didn’t have the plan to marry her. In the second part of the novel, Drouet and Carrie met again in New York, after he tried to mend fences and Carrie refused, he was not feeling so sad. Because, for him, he canfind a woman for pleasure wherever. Losing Carrie is not so important for him. At the end of the novel, on the night of a big snowstorm, he is talking with a partner to discuss where to look for a woman to have fun.3.1.2 The safety needs: the satisfaction of materialThe great industrial development in American brings about the booming of the cities like Chicago and New York. At the same time, the social gap between the rich and the poor is widening. People are obviously graded. Whether having high material consumption ability has almost become the sole criterion of level division. Drouet is divided into middle class in this social background. He doesn’t have to live in poverty like Hanson, but not as well as Hurstwood has a wealthy family and prominent position. He is good at enjoying life and the pursuit of a higher level of material comforts, immersed in his salesman career and tried to improve his social status. In his view, his life is fulfilling and almost perfect. He dressed in fashion style, wearing a striped plaid wool suit, white and pink striped shirt, gold-plated button, covered with yellow agate known as the “cat ey e”. His vest dangled a neat gold watch chain, matched with a pair of glowing shoes and a fedora. This fashionable dress greatly satisfied the vanity of him. Drouet’s s afety needs come to be realized in the abundant material world.Drouet likes to have dinner at Rector’s,a restaurant he believes that successful person would go. After dinner, he likes to go to th e resort of Fitzgerald and Moy’s to drink a glass of whiskey and enjoy a couple of cigars. In such a place, he can get to know a variety of celebrities, in order to increase the capital to show off and meet his vanity. The author has described it in detail:Rector’s, with its polished marble walls and floor, its profusion of lights, itsshow of china and silverware, and, above all, its reputation as a resort foractors and professional men, seemed to him the proper place for asuccessful man to go. He loved fine clothes, good eating, and particularlythe company and acquaintanceship of successful men. When dining, it wassource of keen satisfaction to him to know that Joseph Jefferson was wontto come to this same place, that Henry E. Dixie, a well known performer ofthe day, was then only a few tables off. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 39) As a successful salesman, Drouet believes that it is an honor to be able to make celebrities. At the same time, the big company he is working for also let him feel glory. With the reputation of Bartlett, Caryoe & Company, his work goes well. Although he isnot rich, also does not have a high social status, but he is good at communication, appropriate interaction with others, which also provides a possibility of success in his career. Living with Carrie, Drouet’s career developed gradually and his social status improved accordingly. When he and Carrie meet again, he has been responsible for a branch and is about to establish his own company. He can meet Carrie’s desire for material. He bought her beautiful dresses and coats, purchased cosmetics and went to the theatre with her. But objectively speaking, he was too concerned with material life, treat feelings do not serious. This is also the most dissatisfied for Carrie.3.2 Drouet’s higher level needsAlthough the physiological and material satisfaction is very important for Drouet, he has some higher level of needs. As a traveling salesman, Drouet’s social status is not high. He frequently went to the restaurants and pubs which celebrities always went to. In addition to the pursuit of material comforts, but also he is in the search for a social identity and the sense of belonging. Eating and talking together with the upper-class people, let him have a feeling of integrated into the society.His pursuit of Carrie is not only to satisfy his needs for sex, but also to get rid of the emptiness.Due to his work requirement, Drouet often go to travel around, and he is lacking of group sense of belonging. While Carrie as his mistress, can bring him some emotional comfort.In addition, Carrie’s young and beautiful can meet Drouet’s vanity. And he can show off in social occasions. However, Carrie is not the only choice for Drouet. Instead of creating a stable family, the best way to meet his spiritual emptiness is to seek new love affairs constantly. That is also the reason why he does not marry Carrie.。

What future for the Distributed Systems Annex?Laurent P AUTET Samuel T ARDIEU{Laurent.Pautet,Samuel.Tardieu}@enst.fr École Nationale Supérieure des TélécommunicationsDépartement Informatique et Réseaux46,rue BarraultF-75634Paris Cedex13,FranceAbstractIn this paper,we report our experience as implementors and users of the Ada95Distributed Systems Annex(annex E of the Ada reference manual).We identify the principal strengths and weak-nesses of the annex,and make some proposals to improve it either immediately or for the next revision of the language(Ada0X).Our goal is to get an annex that is more open and compatible with other distributed systems such as CORBA,without loosing the capability of developing pure Ada rock solid distributed systems.We assume that the reader is familiar with Ada.Knowledge of the Distributed Systems Annex is useful but not required to under-stand the main ideas exposed in this article.1The Distributed Systems Annex todayA few years ago,distributed systems were mainly used by teams with very special needs in terms of processing power or reliability, or for teaching the basis of distributed programming.Today,be-cause of the dramatic growth of the Internet and the development of high speed networks,more and more people are becoming famil-iar with distributed computing.It has become quite common and well accepted to have a part of a computation done locally while the rest is being done on a server located far away.For example, the SETI@home project is dedicated tofinding extraterrestrial in-telligence signs in the universe.To achieve its goal,it uses a giant distributed system whose nodes are personal computers with spare CPU cycles that now look for patterns in a huge set of data collected by radio telescopes[4].The architects of Ada95[13]had foreseen this increasing inter-est in distributed systems.They chose to add a Distributed Systems Annex(DSA in short)in the latest language revision[10].This an-nex,while still fully consistent with the rest of the language,defines how subprograms can be called remotely,and how complex data structures such as pointers on remote objects and remote subpro-grams can be built and used.However,unlike foreign distributed architectures such as CORBA,those facilities preserve the strong type checking and the safety features of the Ada programming lan-guage.Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work forpersonal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies arenot made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copiesbear this notice and the full citation on thefirst page.To copy otherwise,to republish,to post on servers or to redistribute to lists,requires prior specific permission and/or a fee.SIGAda’9910/99Redondo Beach,CA,USAc1999ACM1-58113-127-5/99/0010...$5.001.1Existing implementationsTwo implementations of the DSA are available at the time of writ-ing,targeting the freely available GNAT Ada compiler:1.GLADE(GNAT Library for Ada Distributed Execution),de-veloped and maintained jointly by the ENST1and by Ada Core Technologies2.This implementation is freely available under the same license as GNA T,and commercial support is available through Ada Core Technologies.It includes a par-titioning tool called gnatdist[16],and a partition communi-cation subsystem called garlic(GNAT Ada Reusable Library for Interpartition Communication)[17].2.ADEPT(Ada95Distributed Execution and PartitioningToolset)has originally started as a joint project between Com-puter Sciences Corporation3,the Texas A&M university4and the ENST.It is based on an early implementation of GLADE[11],and has since then evolved into a bridge between Adaand RMI(see section3.2).It is now maintained by the Texas A&M university.1.2Typical uses of the DSASince Ada is a general purpose programming language,distributed systems in Ada can be used potentially in every domain of com-puter science.This section describes some projects using the DSA; it is based on publicly available information available through pub-lic newsgroups and mailing lists.1.2.1IndustryGLADE has been successfully used by several major companies, both in the US and in Europe.Of course,the acceptance of the distributed features of the language is bound to the acceptance of Ada95itself,and many industrial companies are still using Ada83, even when compiling with an Ada95compiler.However,new projects and major revisions of existing products are now using Ada95and its new concepts,such as tagged types and protected types.At the same time,they do evaluate the DSA to see whether it meets their needs in terms of distributed systems.EDF,the most important electricity provider in France,has been building a prototype of a WWW session-tracker using the DSA.The goal is to keep a link between separate requests made by the same user to a WWW server.This company is also considering using the DSA as a caching proxy for database requests;if a request has already been performed in the past and if the database has not 1http://www.enst.fr/2/and http://www.act-europe.fr/3/4/been updated in the meantime,the previously computed result will be sent back to the user,thus avoiding unnecessary processing on the database server side.1.2.2MilitaryMost military projects using distributed systems written in Ada had their own communication layer,around which the whole program was designed.This has been made unnecessary with the DSA, whose goal is to let the program architect design her distributed program almost without thinking at the distribution issues.Remote subprogram calls and distributed objects integrate very well with a monolithic design.DSA could be used only as a communication layer that would replace the existing one,but the gain will be too low for such a task.It is thus often difficult to fully move to the DSA without rethinking the whole program architecture.However, GLADE is starting to show up in new developments,in particular when distributed simulations are involved.Figure1:Using DSA as a communication layer For example,modern distributed interactive simulations use a standardized API called RTI(Run Time Infrastructure).This API can be called from any language,such as Ada or C++.Using RTI,one can connectflight simulators used by human pilots and computer-driven simulation programs,some of them written in C, others in C++and others in Ada.One implementation of RTI has been developed in Ada and uses the DSA as a communication layer [3].The DSA is hidden to the RTI programmer,who only needs to use the RTI API,but it takes care of all the communication between RTI nodes,as shown onfigure1.1.2.3EducationAda83has been used for years in software engineering classes, because of its high-level features such as genericity,strong-typing, encapsulation and tasking.The fact that an Ada compiler catches most errors at compile time makes it much easier for students to concentrate on the real problem rather than on a trivial mistake un-caught by a C compiler.Ada95extends the power of Ada83to object oriented and dis-tributed programming.From our own teaching experience,students enjoy using it when learning the basis of distributed programming (remote subprogram calls,distributed objects)because of its ease of use and its integration in a consistent model.For example,our students have been able to develop a complete multi-users messag-ing system based on distributed objects in a few hours.It would probably have taken much more time if they had had to cope with raw sockets and message passing.2Weaknesses of the current modelIn this section,we present the main weaknesses of the DSA in its current form.We expect that those defects will not be present in the next Ada standard;some proposals tofix them and to increase the capabilities of the DSA are given in section3.2.1Interoperability between Ada compilersThe design team of the DSA chose to separate the compiler from the PCS(Partition Communication Subsystem);the PCS has only a few entry points located in a standardized package called Sys-tem.RPC,and those entry points must be the only interface be-tween the code generated by the compiler and the PCS.It is thus theoretically possible to plug any PCS into any DSA-capable com-piler5.Data exchanged between the compiler and the PCS are encap-sulated into Ada streams;the PCS is not supposed to interpret their contents and must manipulate them as opaque data.This raises two major problems:1.The content of Ada streams is not normalized:for example,one compiler can choose to store an integer in a stream as it is stored in memory,while another will use another format such as XDR(eXternal Data Representation)[29].This pre-vents an Ada compiler from reading what has been stored by another,unless they agree on a common format for streams content.2.The data stored in the streams given to the PCS is unspecified.One compiler can choose,to designate a remote subprogram, to use a package name followed by a subprogram index,while another can use a package index and a subprogram index to mean the same thing.Once again,Ada compilers would have to agree on a common protocol to be able to communicate with each other.Even using a compiler from the same vendor on heterogeneous systems does not guarantee that your computers will understand each other,as the DSA does not require that heterogeneous systems be supported.2.2Interoperability with other languagesUnlike the DSA,which has been designed to write pure Ada dis-tributed programs,CORBA[22]allows parts of a distributed sys-tem to be written using different programming languages.Each part is made of one or more objects,whose interfaces are de-scribed using the Interface Description Language(IDL).A stub and a skeleton will be generated from an interface.The stub is used to perform outgoing method calls to a remote object,while the skeleton handles incoming requests and redirects them to the actual implementation of the object methods.While the skeleton is generated for the language in which the object implementation has been written,the stub can be generated for many other program-ming languages(Ada,C,C++,Java,Lisp,etc.).It is thus possible to access a remote object from programs written in another pro-gramming language,as shown onfigure2(the Dynamic Invocation box can be ignored and will be explained later).The multi-language characteristics of CORBA played an im-portant role in its wide acceptance:a team of developers can choose its favorite programming language to implement a service,and have another team use its own favorite language to access it.As far as interoperability is concerned,the DSA completely missed the train; the interfacing capabilities of Ada95compared to Ada83(pragma 5A validated Ada compiler does not need to be DSA capable as the DSA is an optional annex.Figure2:Global CORBA architectureImport,access to subprograms with foreign conventions)have not shown up in annex E.On the one hand,the lack of normalization of the protocol used to communicate between the partitions of a distributed Ada pro-gram forbids the development of any portable binding with remote Ada services.On the other hand,this allows distributed Ada pro-grams to avoid costly constraint checks as the strong typing is pre-served all the path along,while an interface with foreign languages would require additional checks to ensure the validity of externally acquired data.This led to a situation where people have developed two-headed distributed programs:every data exchange between two Ada par-titions is made through the DSA,while CORBA is used to export Ada services to the outside world(a concrete application can be found in[21]).However,this way of doing things is costly because two different interfaces(Ada and CORBA)need to be maintained at the same time.Also,it is error-prone,as a mismatch between the two versions may result into incorrect programs.We propose a solution to this particular problem in section3.3.Another solution commonly found to extend access to Ada re-mote objects to foreign languages is the design of small wrappers that translate a proprietary protocol into calls to the distributed ob-jects(seefigure3).However,this solution has the same mainte-nance problems as the one exposed below,as two consistent inter-faces must be maintained at the sametime.NetworkMachine A Machine BFigure3:Using a proxy to access DSA services2.3Termination of a distributed applicationSince1980,we know that terminating a distributed application is not a trivial issue[8,6].To summarize the problem,an application can be globally terminated only when all the partitions are locally ready to terminate and there is no message in transit on the network that can potentially wake up one of the partitions[19].However,an Ada distributed application can be composed of a dynamic number of partitions;when using a client/server model, the number of partitions that will compose the distributed program is not known in advance.A server cannot guess whether a new client is going to connect or not.The situation is similar to the one where tasks could be created spontaneously in a non-distributed program:even if all the tasks were waiting on a select statement with a terminate alternative,should the program be terminated if a new task showed up spontaneously and tried to wake up one of those existing tasks?The reference manual does not contain anything about termi-nation of distributed applications.As a direct consequence,it does not define whether it is erroneous or not to connect a new partition to a globally ready to terminate distributed system.This particular point deserves to be specified in the reference manual.3Some proposals to extend the DSAIn this section,we propose extensions that fall in two categories: thefirst category contains proposals that can be adopted for the current language revision if all Ada vendor agree on their realiza-tion.The second one contains proposals to be adopted for the next Ada revision.3.1Normalization of layersThe DSA can be decomposed into three independent layers:a high-level one,in charge of the semantics of the DSA,a mid-level one,which defines the communication between compiler generated code and the PCS,and a low-level one,which represents the under-lying communication protocol.3.1.1The high-level layerThis layer contains the whole spirit of the DSA;it con-sists into the description,at the Ada language level,of what can be distributed and the semantics of every remote oper-ation.The three categorization pragmas solely dedicated to the DSA(Remote_Call_Interface,Remote_Types and Shared_Passive)open a large and consistent set of possibili-ties to distribute Ada entities,objects or subprograms.This layer has been carefully thought and leads to powerful con-structs;for example,CORBA only deals with distributed objects, while the DSA also deals with remote subprogram calls in a tradi-tional way.It also acts as a hidden naming service used to silently locate remote subprograms.However,the set of entities that can be used remotely could be slightly enlarged by introducing the notion of remote rendez-vous for example.This would require allowing a task declaration in the visible part of a Remote_Call_Interface package,as well as remote accesses to task types and objects.Of course,appropriate restrictions must be placed on types of entry parameters,just as those restrictions exist for remote subprograms.3.1.2The mid-level layerWhat we call the mid-level layer here is the declaration of the Sys-tem.RPC package.As written in section2.1,the design team of the DSA was willing to ensure a compatibility between any DSA-capable compiler and any PCS through this standardized package.While this definition allowed us to start quickly the implemen-tation of GLADE because one part of the design was implicitly contained in the annex,we soon realized that the requirement togo through System.RPC for every remote call introduces a lot of constraints.To take one example,the only non-opaque parameter given to the procedure used to do a remote subprogram call(Do_RPC)is an integer denoting the remote partition.That implies that one of the two following methods is used:1.This integer is assigned at partitioning time and the systemis closed and static(it is not easy to add new clients in a client/server architecture after thefirst partitioning step while the server is running,and also not easy to launch several in-stances of a single client as they will have different identi-fiers).2.This integer is computed at run time,and the compiler musthave a way of retrieving it by talking to the partition com-munication subsystem using another interface than Sys-tem.RPC,which defeats the capability of using the PCS with another Ada compiler.After careful thoughts,we deliberately chose to use the second method and implemented a new package named Sys-tem.Partition_Interface.This package contains all the needed subprograms to exchange localization information between generated code and the PCS.As a consequence,it is not possible for another compiler to use GLADE without generating calls to this new package.After several years of experience in maintaining GLADE,we nowfirmly believe that the standardization of the PCS interface is useless and should be removed from the next language revision. Moreover,it is the only case in the reference manual where some-thing that can be considered internal to the compiler has been de-scribed in an authoritative way.3.1.3The low-level layerThis part does not belong to the DSA.This is the cause of all the trouble described in sections2.1and2.2.A standardization of the communication protocol would open the road to interoperability with other systems,either written in Ada(and thus using the DSA themselves)or in foreign languages,using easy-to-use communi-cation libraries.Using a clearly defined protocol does not cause any safety and efficiency loss,as long as the whole program is written in Ada. However,interfacing with other languages less safe than Ada may require the generation of additional checks to ensure that the ex-ternally acquired data meet Ada strong-typing constraints.Those checks could be turned on either by a pragma placed in the declara-tion of the remote package,meaning that even Ada programs would suffer a performance loss,or by a specialflag in each packet indi-cating whether this packet is considered safe(from an Ada point of view)or not.A proposal for such a low-level protocol is in progress,but is out of the scope of this paper.We plan to implement it for GNA T and GLADE,for compilers generating processor-specific code and for the future GNAT to JVM(Java Virtual Machine)compiler.This would,amongst other things,allow some partitions of a distributed system to run in native form(typically server partitions)while some others would run on a Java virtual machine(e.g.,client applets in a WWW browser).3.2Interfacing with RMIRMI(Remote Method Invocation)is yet another way of writing dis-tributed applications,using the Java programming language.This alternative to CORBA offers the possibility of having objects lo-cated on different hosts communicate with each other,and also lets objects with their implementation(in Java byte code)move from one host to another.This very powerful feature called code migra-tion is a big step towards the development of mobile agents.RMI is very interesting for Ada users from several point of views:Compilers that compile Ada code into Java byte code can use RMI objects and libraries to build distributed applications.A bridge between the DSA and RMI is already fully func-tional(ADEPT,see section1.1)and allows Java users to ac-cess Ada services.Sun Microsystems(author of Java and RMI)is working with the OMG(Object Management Group,the entity in charge of CORBA normalization),to use IIOP(Internet Inter-ORB Protocol)as a basis for RMI implementation,while IIOP will be extended to support the full semantics of RMI.That means that Ada code compiled into Java byte code and using RMI will be able to talk with services written with CORBA,and that the Ada/RMI bridge will be usable as a gate between the DSA and CORBA3.3Interfacing with CORBAAs written in section2.2,nothing prevents a user from maintain-ing two consistent interfaces for a service,one for the Ada side of the world using the DSA and a second for the other languages using CORBA,although this is a painful and error-prone task.In this sec-tion,we will see that other methods can be used to interface DSA and CORBA.As far as distributed objects are concerned,Ada and CORBA are close from each other.The differences and similarities between them have been studied in[27]and[24].Comparisons from a designer’s point of view have been published in[23]and [15].3.3.1Exporting DSA services to CORBAAn ongoing project is the automatic translation of DSA services into CORBA specifications so that those services can be used from a CORBA node[25].Packages categorized as Remote_Types or Remote_Call_Interface are analyzed using ASIS(Ada Se-mantic Interface Specification)[14],and the semantic information is then utilized to generate one or more IDL modules;the imple-mentation of each module is also produced automatically.Incom-ing CORBA calls to DSA objects are automatically transformed into outgoing DSA calls.Thefirst version of this tool called CIAO(CORBA Interface for Ada(DSA)Objects)[26]is using exclusively the free software OmniORB2CORBA product.The gate between OmniORB2and GNAT has been developed as a separate project[1]and can be used independently.3.3.2Using a common protocolWe are currently investigating the use of IIOP as the basis of our low-level protocol,to ease the interfacing process between the DSA,CORBA and RMI.The basic idea behind this is effort split-ting:implementing a tasking runtime requires a lot of resources from Ada compilers vendors,and so does the implementation of the DSA.If some of the costs could be shared by the CORBA and RMI vendors,there would probably be more implementations of the DSA,as the existing infrastructure could be reused easily.We already have a full Ada ORB implementation[12],soon to be released as free software.This software,whose code name is Broca,will serve as a basis for both our free software CORBA product,AdaBroker,and a future version of GLADE that will be using IIOP.Using IIOP as the standard protocol for the DSA would al-low accessing CORBA and RMI services directly through the DSA without any need for an additional bridge.Also,it would be pos-sible,using an Ada to Java byte code compiler,to transfer active objects and achieve code migration in Ada using only the DSA. This would be a big step forward in terms of fault tolerance and reliability,as critical services could duplicate themselves automati-cally in order to keep for example a minimum number of instances available at any time.3.4Dynamic interfacesAnother powerful CORBA feature not found in the DSA is the abil-ity to use dynamic interfaces.Two mechanisms,DII(Dynamic In-terface Invocation,shown onfigure2)and DSI(Dynamic Skeleton Interface),can be used to register a class by describing its meth-ods using their names and signatures,and to build a call to those methods dynamically.The most obvious advantage is that the interface does not need to be present at compilation time.For example,a calculator ap-plication can be enriched at run time by adding new functions(as remote objects designed by their names)that are called dynami-cally as the user types names them.Explicit static calls to those functions do not appear anywhere in the calculator source code.The introduction of such a mechanism in the DSA would con-siderably ease the interfacing with CORBA,as both side could in-terface with each other using this protocol.3.5Quality of ServiceOn a completely unrelated topic,a useful extension to the exist-ing DSA specification would be the introduction of Quality of Ser-vice(QoS)parameters.For the reader unfamiliar with this notion, a QoS specification may be seen as a numeric value quantifying some properties of the underlying network,for example the maxi-mum delay between a request emission date and its handling on the receiver side,or a guaranteed bit rate from one partition to another.As the requests for quality of service depend heavily on the location of every service,it makes more sense to include all the QoS related information into the configurationfile describing the distributed application rather than in the subprogram specification itself.To this purpose,we intend to propose the format of the gnat-dist(our partitioning tool)commandfile as a standard for describ-ing Ada distributed applications.Thisfile format willfirst be ex-tended to contain the necessary QoS extensions,as shown in sam-ple3.5.Sample1gnatdist extension for QoSconfiguration Demo isP1, P2 : partition;C : channel := (P1, P2);for C’Bandwidth use 1_000_000;for C’Peak use 2_000_000;for C’Max_Peak use 5.0;−− Require up to 1Mbit/s for normal execution,−− with peaks up to 2Mbits/s for a maximum of−− 5 seconds.[...]end Demo;3.5.1Network characteristicsIt is common knowledge that QoS and crude packet switching net-works do not mix well,as the transmission time of a data fragment is unrelated to the transmission time of other fragments compos-ing the same high-level packet.Unfortunately,packet switching networks are very common both in the industry and in universities (TCP/IP over Ethernet).The introduction of the new IP revision(IPv6,previously called IPng)[5]adds the notion of traffic class.Thisfield,present in every IPv6packet,is used by all the routers on a given path to prioritize theflow accordingly to a predefined policy.Within an organization, it is be possible to setup all the routers to exchange data between two partitions at the highest possible priority,thus obtaining the speed and the bandwidth of the slowest physical link on the data path.However,this solution is only applicable to a company network, as the company system administrator does not control the routing and priority handling policies on external routers.The use of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)networks by Internet providers can help develop such a priority scheme between distant sites.Those networks can negotiate a guaranteed bandwidth for a complete vir-tual circuit.Once the required bandwidth has been allocated,it will never be used for something else unless the resource has been explicitly released.We have already developed a binding between Ada and ATM [18],which is being integrated in AdaSockets6,one of our free soft-ware products.The ultimate goal is to offer the ability to use ATM as the underlying networking protocol for GLADE.We are work-ing on defining a syntax for the indication of the desired networking resources,that could be applied to IPv6,ATM and other protocols dealing with resource reservations such as RSVP[2].3.5.2Priority related enhancementsOne of the most needed enhancements of the DSA would be a spec-ification of how priorities in partitions of an Ada distributed pro-gram are related to each other.Right now,it is unspecified whether the priority of the caller will be used or not for executing the remote subprogram.This is even worse as the various partitions may have different scheduling policies and priority ranges,thus leading to a malfunction if priorities are propagated over the network.We have integrated new pragmas in the GLADE configuration file to statically describe the behavior of incoming calls.For exam-ple,one can set an upper limit of the number of incoming remote calls that can be executing at the same time.Also,a common prior-ity map is used on all the partitions to transform the caller priority into an acceptable priority for the receiver,if the user chooses to do so(aflag in the configurationfile toggles this).This method eases the scheduling computation in a distributed application using Rate Monotonic Scheduling techniques[28].4ConclusionsWe have shown in this paper that the Distributed Systems Annex of Ada95is well defined and consistent with the rest of the language, but would benefit from a standardization of the protocol used to communicate between the partitions.This standardization would ease the development of Ada distributed applications using differ-ent Ada compilers,and would open the world of distributed Ada to other languages,without loosing any of the Ada safety and security.Despite those(hopefully constructive)criticisms,wefirmly be-lieve that the presence of the Distributed Systems Annex is a major achievement in the language definition.We want to thank again the design team who chose to make Ada even more powerful and user-friendly by including the DSA in the ISO standard.6http://www.infres.enst.fr/ANC/。
