Using a Physical Metaphor to Scale Up Communication in Virtual Worlds
This dissertation argues that application-level messaging in virtual worlds must have five properties to enable scalability while avoiding the undesirable limitations of existing systems: recipient selection, minimum quality of service, graceful degradation, fine-grained multiplexing and high utilization. To address these issues, the Sirikata system architecture, a new virtual world back-end system, was developed that achieves these five properties. Sirikata's key insight is to leverage the geometric nature of virtual worlds by applying a physical metaphor to communication. Object communication follows an inverse square law, behaving similarly to point-source radio transmitters and receivers...

John McDonnell
When John McDonnell began his coaching career at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville--choosing it over Norman, Oklahoma, because Fayetteville reminded him of his native Ireland--he could hardly have imagined that he would become the most successful coach in the history of American collegiate athletics. But, in thirty-six years at the university, he amassed a staggering resume of accomplishments, including forty national championships (eleven cross country, nineteen indoor track, and ten outdoor track), the most by any coach in any sport in NCAA history. His teams at Arkansas won the triple crown (a championship in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track in a single school year) a record five times. This biography tells the story of the McDonnell's life and legacy, from his childhood growing up on a farm in 1940s County Mayo, Ireland, to his own running career, to the beginnings of his life as a coach, to all the great athletes he mentored along the way.
