Attention to sidebar on page 192 of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board report entitled "Engineering by Viewgraphs": http://www.nasa.gov/columbia/caib/PDFS/VOL1/PART02.PDF ---Rob
Wow. The Columbia disaster caused (in part) by PowerPoint!? :-] Worth checking out. It's on page 191, isn't it? I took a class in information presentation by the fellow quoted, Dr. Edward Tufte. It was excellent.
Regarding the original question about journals, I have found the Internet Protocol Journal to be helpful. Yes, it is published by Cisco, but it has an academic approach and the editorial board is all non-Cisco and includes luminaries such as Vint Cerf. A frequent contributor is Geoff Huston, whom I admire a lot.
Don't confuse the Internet Protocol Journal with Packet magazine, also from Cisco. Packet is definitely marketing driven, whereas IPJ is more research-oriented. More on IPJ here:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/759/ I'd be interesting in hearing what you all think of IPJ. _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.priscilla.comWhen your Daemon is in charge, do not try to think consciously. Drift, wait, and obey. -- Kipling.
