A low cost option of using computers to initiate large scale instructional innovation
Authors: Albert C. Oosterhof, Robert A. Reiser
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

College-level faculty are often among the most reluctant to become involved in systematic instructional design activities. Particularly in the liberal arts disciplines, there is a prevalent point of view that the effectiveness of instruction will be improved more by setting higher admissions standards and failing more students than by deliberately tailoring instruction to prespecified behavioral outcomes, and providing students with a means of identifying and remediating skill areas that impede subsequent instruction. In this presentation, a recently developed set of procedures are described which have shown to be effective in involving typically disinterested instructors in a meaningful instructional design process, These procedures use a testing center and computer management as the catalyst to the design process. This presentation provides an overview of how involvement of instructor is accomplished, and a summary of results obtained through ensuing instructional development activities.

Verifying candidate matches in sparse and wildcard matching
Authors: Richard Cole, Ramesh Hariharan
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) This paper obtains the following results on pattern matching problems in which the text has length n and the pattern has length mAn O(nlog m) time deterministic algorithm for the String Matching with Wildcards problems, even when the alphabet is large.An O(klog2 m) time Las Vegas algorithm for the Sparse String Matching with Wildcards problem, where k&laquo;n is the number of non-zeros in the text. We also give Las Vegas algorithms for the higher dimensional version of this problem.As an application of the above, an O(nlog2 m) time Las Vegas algorithm for the Subset Matching and Tree Pattern Matching problems, and a Las Vegas algorithm for the Geometric Pattern Matching problem.Finally, an O(nlog2 m) time deterministic algorithm for Subset Matching and Tree Pattern Matching..The crucial new idea underlying the first three results above is that of confirming matches by convolving vectors obtained by coding characters in the alphabet with non-boolean (i.e., rational or even complex) entries; in contrast, almost all previous pattern matching algorithms consider only boolean codes for the alphabet. The crucial new idea underlying the fourth result is a simpler method of shifting characters which ensures that each character occurs as a singleton in some shift.

Creating the Digital Future: The Secrets of Consistent Innovation at Intel, 1st edition
Authors: Albert Yu
Venue:  (1998)

:Intel Corporation has established itself as the undisputed trailblazer of microprocessor and silicon technologies. What exactly are the secrets of consistent innovation at Intel? Top microprocessor expert and Intel insider Albert Yu reveals that the key lies in Intel's ability to reinvent itself. Dr. Yu shows how Intel "obsoletes" its own products and relentlessly raises the bar to the next level. He brings the reader into the results-oriented, hyper-innovative, creative Intel culture that thrives on fresh ideas, risk-taking, and learning from failure. Yu shows how volume is a key to profits and describes how interactions between customers, marketers, and engineers often generate sparks that spawn great products. Intel has prevailed by learning lessons from its mistakes in fierce, bitter competition with Motorola and Sun's SPARC for strategic leadership of the high-technology world.

Selecting among replicated batching video-on-demand servers
Authors: Meng Guo, Mostafa H. Ammar, Ellen F. Zegura
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th international workshop on Network and operating systems support for digital audio and video (2002)

A Video-on-Demand (VoD) service offers a large selection of videos from which customers can choose. Designers of VoD systems strive to achieve low access latency for customers. One approach that has been investigated by several researchers allows the server to batch clients requesting the same video and to serve clients in the same batch with one multicast video stream. This approach has the advantage that it can save server resources as well as server access and network bandwidth, thus allowing the server to handle a large number of customers without sacrificing access latency. VoD server replication is another approach that can allow a VoD service to handle a large number of clients, albeit at the additional cost of providing more servers. While replication is an effective way to increase the service capacity, it needs to be coupled with appropriate selection techniques in order to make efficient use of the increased capacity. In this paper, we investigate the design of server selection techniques for a system of replicated batching VoD servers. We design and evaluate a range of selection algorithms as they would be applied to three batching approaches: Batching with Persistent Channel Allocation, Patching, and Hierarchical Multicast Stream Merging (HMSM). We demonstrate that server replication combined with appropriate server selection scheme can indeed be used to increase the capacity of the service leading to improved performance.

Semantic B2B integration: issues in ontology-based approaches
Authors: Zhan Cui, Dean Jones, Paul O'Brien
Venue: ACM SIGMOD Record (2002)

Solving queries to support e-commerce transactions can involve retrieving and integrating information from multiple information resources. Often, users don't care which resources are used to answer their query. In such situations, the ideal solution would be to hide from the user the details of the resources involved in solving a particular query. An example would be providing seamless access to a set of heterogeneous electronic product catalogues. There are many problems that must be addressed before such a solution can be provided. In this paper, we discuss a number of these problems, indicate how we have addressed these and go on to describe the proof-of-concept demonstration system we have developed.
