IWASAKI Mitsuru provided great help not only in the actual implementation but also in project management. Without his help, this project would have remained only a personal project and been forgotten without prominent achievement.
Michael Smith contributed to our experimental implementation and did great work on ACPI-CA migration. Most of the FreeBSD dependent parts of the ACPI-CA code are his work.
Andrew Grover and his Intel associates helped in the porting work. Of course, we greatly respect their work on ACPI-CA itself and appreciate their kindly allowing us to use their work.
Doug Rabson wrote the ACPI disassembler, on which our experimental ACPI implementation was based.
Yasuo Yokoyama, Munehiro Matsuda and all acpi-jp mailing list people have contributed to our experimental implementation.
The ACPI4Linux mailing list gave me useful information about ACPI and ACPI-CA.
Warner Losh and Chuck Silvers gave suggestions to improve the expression of English in this manuscript.
Chuck Cranor shepherded me for the USENIX Freenix track.
