A clustering algorithm for asymmetrically related data with applications to text mining
Authors: K. Krishna, Raghu Krishnapuram
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Clustering techniques find a collection of subsets of a data set such that the collection satisfies a criterion that is dependent on a relation defined on the data set. The underlying relation is traditionally assumed to be symmetric. However, there exist many practical scenarios where the underlying relation is asymmetric. One example of an asymmetric relation in text analysis is the inclusion relation, i.e., the inclusion of the meaning of a block of text in the meaning of another block. In this paper, we consider the general problem of clustering of asymmetrically related data and propose an algorithm to cluster such data. To demonstrate its usefulness, we consider two applications in text mining: (1) summarization of short documents, and (2) generation of a concept hierarchy from a set of documents. Our experiments show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of more traditional algorithms.

Evaluating the use of profiling by a region-based register allocator
Authors: Kameswari V. Garigipati, Cindy Norris
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In a region-based compilation framework, the compiler builds regions to provide the best compilation unit for scheduling and optimization. The compiler uses execution frequency information gained from profiling to place frequently executed blocks in the same region. This paper investigates the use of profiling in a region-based compilation framework and measures its impact on the register allocation phase. The profiling information can be used by the register allocator to assign values to physical registers based on the execution frequency of the regions. Register allocation can be performed on the most frequently executed regions first so that any spilling that occurs causes memory accesses in less frequently executed regions. The experimental study indicates that profile assisted region formation and register allocation can result in code that executes faster than the code that was compiled without using profiling information and the amount of spill code executed can be reduced significantly.
Analysis of a BICS-Only Concurrent Error Detection Method
Authors: Jien-Chung Lo
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

We propose in this paper a BICS-only method for concurrent error detection (CED) where a built-in current sensor (BICS) will be solely responsible for detecting faults and errors. Due to the wide applicability of the BICS, this approach can be applied directly to combinational circuits, sequential circuits, and even some analog circuits. A dependability model was developed to study the effectiveness of the proposed BICS-only method. The unsafe probability of the BICS-only design is sensitive to both fault coverage and testability of the BICS. When used in a duplicated CED system for fault masking, the system reliability is sensitive to the fault coverage, but not to the testability of the BICS. Next, we show that a dramatic increase in unsafe probability is possible if the BICS cannot make detection at every system clock cycle. A higher testability for BICS will, contrary to our intuition, make the unsafe probability higher. For duplicated CED applications, the reliability will be even lower than that of a nonredundant system. Therefore, the design criteria for BICS in the BICS-only method, in the order of importance, are: operating speed, fault coverage, and testability.

Object-Oriented Design Heuristics, 1st edition
Authors: Arthur J. Riel
Venue:  (1996)

:Object-Oriented Design Heuristics offers insight into object-oriented design improvement. The more than sixty guidelines presented in this book are language-independent and allow you to rate the integrity of a software design. The heuristics are not written as hard and fast rules; they are meant to serve as warning mechanisms which allow the flexibility of ignoring the heuristic as necessary. This tutorial-based approach, born out of the author's extensive experience developing software, teaching thousands of students, and critiquing designs in a variety of domains, allows you to apply the guidelines in a personalized manner. The heuristics cover important topics ranging from classes and objects (with emphasis on their relationships including association, uses, containment, and both single and multiple inheritance) to physical object-oriented design. You will gain an understanding of the synergy that exists between design heuristics and the popular concept of design patterns; heuristics can highlight a problem in one facet of a design while patterns can provide the solution. Programmers of all levels will find value in this book. The newcomer will discover a fast track to understanding the concepts of object-oriented programming. At the same time, experienced programmers seeking to strengthen their object-oriented development efforts will appreciate the insightful analysis. In short, with Object-Oriented Design Heuristics as your guide, you have the tools to become a better software developer.

Information technology and interests in scholarly communication: a discourse analysis
Authors: Neil Jacobs
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

Although technological determinism is an inadequate description of change, it remains common, if implicit, in much information science literature. Recent developments in science and technology studies offer a social constructivist alternative, in which technology is seen, not as autonomous, but as the result of interests. However, the stability of these interests can be argued to privilege social factors in the same way as technological determinism privileges technological factors. A second alternative is to shift to a relativist stance and analyze discourse as interaction, rather than as a neutral carrier of information, or communication. The focus of the discourse analyses of interview interactions presented in this article is on two aspects of discursive structure, the indexical category of research, and interest management, which refers to the ways that participants manage their own and others' stakes in particular accounts. The article concludes by noting how formal scholarly communication acts as a category entitlement in interviews, and how technological determinism works as a dilemma for this entitlement that participants (including researchers) negotiate at the very local level of their interactions and accounts.
A system generation for a small operating system
Authors: Luke R. Pargiter, Jerry E. Sayers
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

A system generation utility has been developed to assist students in producing IBM PC-based multitasking applications targeted for the small operating system (SOS) developed by Jerry E. Sayers. Our aim is to augment SOS by enabling a student to interactively tailor the characteristics of the operating system to meet the requirements of a particular application. The system allows the user to adjust factors such as: initial state, priority, and scheduling method of concurrently executed tasks, and, also, use of system resources. A custom operating system is produced by invoking a MAKE utility to bind SOS with application-specific code, in addition to intermediate source code created during the system generation process.Testing of the system included implementing an application that adds column vectors in a 5 &times; 5000 matrix concurrently. Further testing involves using the system generation utility along with SOS as part of an undergraduate operating systems class at East Tennessee State University.

Introduction
Authors: Jenny Preece
Venue: Communications of the ACM (2002)

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon last September shocked us all. Many reached for the telephone to contact loved ones and watched TV or listened to the radio for news in the days directly following the attacks. Others, however, sought support and exchanged information via online communities. In fact, some 30 million Americans---about one-third of all U.S. Internet users---turned to email, mailing lists, instant messaging, chat rooms, and threaded discussion systems [1]. They wrote detailed eyewitness descriptions and tender words of comfort. They engaged in soul-searching debate about why these events occurred, what response was appropriate, and what should be done to avert future atrocities.
Freehand Sketching: For Engineering Design, 1st edition
Authors: William A. Ross
Venue:  (1994)

:The modern graphics course has largely done away with board drafting as an intermediate step between the preliminary, rough sketch of a design and the initial prototype. Engineers refine their design ideas directly on a CAD system. Students need extra assistance with the process of visualization, and with preparing initial freehand sketches of design ideas, before they are sufficiently prepared to work in CAD. This text provides a tie-in between freehand sketching as a means of visualizing an initial design idea, and solid modeling on a CAD system as a tool for refining the design. The workbook format gives students numerous drawing exercises to build their visualization and sketching skills.

Fast Gossiping in Square Meshes/Tori with Bounded-Size Packets
Authors: Francis C.M. Lau, Shi-Heng Zhang
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

Gossiping is the communication problem in which each node has a unique message (token) to be transmitted to every other node. The nodes exchange their tokens by packets. A solution to the problem is judged by how many rounds of packet sending it requires. In this paper, we consider the version of the problem in which small-size packets (each carrying exactly one token) are used, the links (edges) of the network are half-duplex (only one packet can flow through a link at a time), and the nodes are all-port (a node's incident edges can all be active at the same time). This is also known as the H* model. We study the 2D square mesh and the 2D square torus. An improved, asymptotically optimal algorithm for the mesh and an optimal algorithm for the torus are presented.
