An existence theorem for group divisible designs of large order
Authors: Hedvig Mohácsy, D. K. Ray-Chaudhuri
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

The following result gives a partial answer to a question of R. M. Wilson regarding the existence of group divisible designs of large order. Let k and u be positive integers, 2 ≤ k ≤ u. Then there exists an integer m0 = m0(k,u) such that there exists a group divisible design of group type mu with block size k and index one for all integer m ≥ m0 if and only if (i) u-1 ≡ 0 mod(k-1), (ii) u(u-1) ≡ 0 mod k(k-1). This is a generalization of the well-known result of Chowla, Erdös, and Straus on the existence of transversal designs of large order.

Explaining effects of eye gaze on mediated group conversations:: amount or synchronization?
Authors: Roel Vertegaal, Yaping Ding
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

We present an experiment examining effects of gaze on speech during three-person conversations. Understanding such effects is crucial for the design of teleconferencing systems and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). Previous findings suggest subjects take more turns when they experience more gaze. We evaluated whether this is because more gaze allowed them to better observe whether they were being addressed. We compared speaking behavior between two conditions: (1) in which subjects experienced gaze synchronized with conversational attention, and (2) in which subjects experienced random gaze. The amount of gaze experienced by subjects was a covariate. Results show subjects were 22% more likely to speak when gaze behavior was synchronized with conversational attention. However, covariance analysis showed these results were due to differences in amount of gaze rather than synchronization of gaze, with correlations of .62 between amount of gaze and amount of subject speech. Task performance was 46% higher when gaze was synchronized. We conclude it is commendable to use synchronized gaze models when designing CVEs, but depending on task situation, random models generating sufficient amounts of gaze may suffice.

Low-power color TFT LCD display for hand-held embedded systems
Authors: Inseok Choi, Hojun Shim, Naehyuck Chang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a standard display device for hand-held embedded systems. Today, color TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) LCDs are common even in cost-effective equipments. An LCD display system is composed of an LCD panel, a frame buffer memory, an LCD and frame buffer controller, and a backlight inverter and lamp. All of them are heavy power consumers, and their portion becomes much more dominant when running interactive applications. This is because interactive applications are often triggered by human inputs and thus result in a lot of slack time in the CPU and memory system, which can be effectively used for dynamic power management.
Efficient Algebraic Multigrid Algorithms and Their Convergence
Authors: Qianshun Chang, Zhaohui Huang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

In this paper, efficient algorithms for the algebraic multigrid (AMG) method are advanced, and AMG methods are proposed for improving the convergence rate. A new convergence theorem of AMG is given, and a complete theoretical study of new algorithms is subsequently presented. Various numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the new approaches.
Simple termination of context-sensitive rewriting
Authors: Bernhard Gramlich, Salvador Lucas
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Rule-based programming (2002)

Simple termination is the (often indirect) basis of most existing automatic techniques for proving termination of rule-based programs (e.g., Knuth-Bendix, polynomial, or recursive path orderings, but also DP-simple termination, etc.). An interesting framework for such programs is context-sensitive rewriting (CSR) that provides a bridge between the abstract world of general rewriting and the (more) applied setting of declarative specification and programming languages (e.g., OBJ*, CafeOBJ, ELAN, and Maude). In these languages, certain replacement restrictions can be specified in programs by the so-called strategy annotations. They may significantly improve the computational properties of programs, especially regarding their termination behaviour. Context-sensitive rewriting techniques (in particular, the methods for proving termination of CSR) have been proved useful for analyzing the properties of these programs. This entails the need to provide implementable methods for proving termination of CSR. Simplification orderings (corresponding to the notion of simple termination) which are well-known in term rewriting (and have nice properties) are, then, natural candidates for such an attempt. In this paper we introduce and investigate a corresponding notion of simple termination of CSR. We prove that our notion actually provides a unifying framework for proving termination of CSR by using standard simplification orderings via the existing (transformational) methods, and also covers CSRPO, a very recent proposal that extends the recursive path ordering (RPO) (a well-known simplification ordering) to context-sensitive terms. We also introduce polynomial orderings for dealing with (simple) termination of CSR. Finally, we also give criteria for the modularity of simple termination, for the case of disjoint unions as well as for constructor-sharing rewrite systems.

Self-Concordant Barriers for Cones Generated by Chebyshev Systems
Authors: Leonid Faybusovich
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

We explicitly calculate characteristic functions of cones of generalized polynomials corresponding to Chebyshev systems on intervals of the real line and the circle. Thus, in principle, we calculate homogeneous self-concordant barriers for this class of cones. This class includes almost all "cones of squares" considered in [Y. Nesterov, High Performance Optimization, Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2000, pp. 441--466]. Our construction, however, is applicable to a much broader class of cones.

On Algorithms For Permuting Large Entries to the Diagonal of a Sparse Matrix
Authors: I. S. Duff, J. Koster
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

We consider bipartite matching algorithms for computing permutations of a sparse matrix so that the diagonal of the permuted matrix has entries of large absolute value. We discuss various strategies for this and consider their implementation as computer codes. We also consider scaling techniques to further increase the relative values of the diagonal entries. Numerical experiments show the effect of the reorderings and the scaling on the solution of sparse equations by a direct method and by preconditioned iterative techniques.

Efficient algorithms for leader election in radio networks
Authors: Tomasz Jurdziński, Mirosław Kutyłowski, Jan Zatopiański
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-first annual symposium on Principles of distributed computing (2002)

We present energy efficient algorithms for leader election in single channel single-hop radio networks with no collision detection. We present a deterministic solution with sublogarithmic energy cost (the best previous result was O(log n)) and show a double logarithmic lower bound. We prove that this lower bound holds in a randomized case, in a certain sense.For the case, when the number n of active stations can be approximated in advance, we show a randomized algorithm with energy consumption O(log* n) that yields a result with high probability (the best previous result was O(log log n)).
