	Other Interestes - The Distributed Computer and the Virtual Computer
		I have always been interested in the idea of a universal computer; a computer which, by virtue of a very simple, modular, and infinitely scalable hardware architecture, becomes as universal a technology as the technology of the paper book yet, by virtue of its infinite flexibility does not become stifled in its evolutionary progress.
		Immediately the personal computer marketplace became a battle ground for competing hardware platforms that were quite deliberately engineered for incompatibility as a gimmick by which to control market share and which cultivated likewise antagonistic cultures of users.
		Virtually all non-hybrid ICs (that is, devices combining analog and digital circuitry) in all computer devices could be replaced by the combination of SAGAs and EPROM.(for default firmware) In effect, most hardware would be replaced by software.

		He has developed a prototype for a "universal virtual computer", a system with architecture and language so logical and accessible that computer developers of the future will be able to write instructions to emulate it on their machines.
		Then, assuming that the computer is simple enough, people 100 years from now using different computer architectures would face only one relatively basic task to read old formats on new machines - write a set of instructions so the computer could be emulated on whatever machines exist.
		Emulation is a common computer technique in which one computer acts like another - for instance, code is written for a Mac that mimics in every detail the operations of a PC so that programs written for a PC will run on a Mac.

		The challenging problem of preserving digital information for the long term is getting more and more attention from the computer science community and from the various communities that are responsible for the preservation of born or re-born digital documents (1).

		Raymond Lorie from IBM calls it the Universal Virtual Computer, a simple program that begins working to preserve a file at the beginning of its creation.
		The Universal Virtual Computer would be independent of existing hardware or software so that it does not need to worry about the outdating involved with time.
		When a file is created or modified, the Virtual Computer, hopefully preserving its contents forever, would back it up into a file readable to the Virtual Computer software (Tristram, 43).

		The method is based on the use of a Universal Virtual Computer (UVC) to specify the process that needs to be applied to the archived data in order to make it understandable for a future client.
		As part of the Convention 4 items need to be preserved-definition of the UVC, definition of the logical view of the metadata, the encoding format and finally the invocation mechanism must be documented and preserved.
		The paper then lists some of the specifications if the UVC and lists the components that have been developed namely the UVC assembler, the emulator for the UVC, a general restore program and finally the program that takes very natural specifications of the preservation metadata, analyses it and stores the information in a bit stream.

		Virtual computers use software to emulate such hardware components as network, sound and video cards, hard disks, and COM ports.
		Provided services on the virtual hosts should only be the virtualization service; if there are any other provided services on the computer, they should be supported by the guest installations and therefore be identified using the technical appendices relating to that installation and configuration option.
		Security risks to virtual computers should be treated in the same manner as risks to physical PCs since a compromised host operating system could have the same effect as a compromised workstation or server.

		The proposal includes a way to specify such a program, based on a Universal Virtual Computer (UVC).To be understandable, the data is returned with additional information, according to the metadata (which is also archived with the data).For the archival of a program behavior, emulation cannot be avoided.
		The UVC program is completely independent of the architecture of the computer on which it runs.
		The UVC approach can be naturally extended to support the archiving of programs, providing for a way to essentially write the emulator in the present.

	Universal Acid: The Chinese virtual room
		The argument was intended to refute computer pioneer Alan Turing's conception of understanding, which was that if a computer could carry on a conversation with a human being such that no one could tell it was a computer, the computer really would understand language and should be considered intelligent.
		This is an idea familiar to most computer users: if you have a Mac but want to run Windows-only programs, you run a Windows "emulator" that creates a virtual Windows machine on top of your Mac.
		It would be a conceptually simple modification to add a (huge) artist's easel into the room, where the book would instruct the man in the room to scribble Chinese symbols (or whatever) on the easel to "remember" things, and the book would have rules for interpreting the symbols on the easel.

		Technically, such a virtual machine would evenhandedly and compatibly enable any number of high-level languages for distributed computing.
		Culturally, such a virtual machine would honor the Internet's tradition of programming language neutrality in application protocol design.

		A first approach to this ontology will follow the abstract universal virtual computer concept defined by Lorie and used by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Amsterdam for archiving digital information.
		The presentation concentrates on the requirements of the application scenario, known approaches for long time preservation of digital information and their drawbacks, our approach to overcome some of these, a critical analysis of the field and the final question whether other physical approaches will do better in the long run.
