Managing Einsteins: Leading High-Tech Workers in the Digital Age
Authors: John M., Thomas Duening
Venue:  (2001)

:Today's new breed of technologically gifted employees often think and respond differently than their more traditional counterparts did. Managing Einsteins is the first book with tips and traps for managing these highly valued, fiercely independent workers -- and, just as important, keeping them out of the grasp of your talent-starved competitors. Einstein: (n) An intelligent, curious, and technologically proficient knowledge worker who has the know-how to keep everything operating without costly delays, breakdowns, and crashes -- and the individuality to drive managers insane Picture your workforce, even for a second, and you will be able to immediately identify the Einsteins. They're the lifesavers who hammer through your impossible problems, keep your essential operations running by any means necessary, and consistently find answers when others scarcely understand the questions. And as valuable and essential as they are to your organization, these curious and brilliant employees can also be your most frustrating, aggravating, and difficult to manage. Managing Einsteins is the first book to provide strategies and guidelines managers can use to recruit, train, lead, and retain Einsteins, even as outside forces and recruiters are working just as hard to lure them away. Introducing managers to the proven techniques needed to optimize the skills, abilities, and knowledge of the new-economy workforce, without stifling the creativity and innovative spirit that exceptional employees need to achieve breakthrough success. In today's increasingly technical, specialized workplace, Einsteins are as valuable as diamonds -- and as fragile as glass. Their anything-goes brainstorming and authority-flouting approaches can be both critical for innovative, out-of-the-box thinking and a nightmare for their bosses. Let Managing Einsteins provide you with a complete, well-researched profile of these diverse individuals, tips and strategies for maximizing their energy and knowledge, and an overall guide for effectively deriving their value and skills -- without driving them to your competitors.
Superreplication Under Gamma Constraints
Authors: H. Mete Soner, Nizar Touzi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In a financial market consisting of a nonrisky asset and a risky one, we study the minimal initial capital needed in order to superreplicate a given contingent claim under a gamma constraint. This is a constraint on the unbounded variation part of the hedging portfolio. We first consider the case in which the prices are given as general Markov diffusion processes and prove a verification theorem which characterizes the superreplication cost as the unique solution of a quasi-variational inequality. In the context of the Black--Scholes model (i.e., when volatility is constant), this theorem allows us to derive an explicit solution of the problem. These results are based on a new dynamic programming principle for general "stochastic target" problems.

Managing Imap, 1st edition
Authors: Dianna Mullet, Kevin Mullet
Venue:  (2000)

:Virtually everything, not just computers, but all devices are coming onboard the Internet, and the two principal applications are the World-Wide Web and E-Mail. The POP3 model for online-only messaging is being taxed to its limit, and users clearly would like mail servers with more "oomph". More specifically, the demand is for E-Mail servers that take advantage of centralized resources to manage mail, rather than heap more tasks on end-user computers. This clamor has been answered by incorporating the IMAP protocol into virtually every major E-Mail server on the market. Those that don't already have IMAP are probably among those that are planning to do so. Managing IMAP is a moveable feast of IMAP help. It is a handy guide for everyday tasks common to most IMAP servers as well as a concise reference to help you navigate the sometimes sparsely and obtusely documented open-source software. Whether you want more insight into the IMAP server, client or utility software, or big-picture strategic suggestions to get off your legacy system, Managing IMAP is here to help. This book is both a conceptual and mechanical IMAP road map. Managers, system integrators, and system administrators on the front lines of Internet messaging will find it a valuable tool for IMAP system provision, maintenance and support. It is also useful to anyone considering IMAP for their messaging system. Managing IMAP covers the IMAP protocol, setting up a client, IMAP security, performance monitoring, and tools. Several chapters are devoted specifically to two of the most popular servers: the University of Washington server, and Cyrus, and detailed appendixes cover topics such as TCL, procmail, Sieve, and sendmail.

Power-aware source routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks
Authors: Morteza Maleki, Karthik Dantu, Massoud Pedram
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Ad hoc wireless networks are power constrained since nodes operate with limited battery energy. To maximize the lifetime of these networks (defined by the condition that a fixed percentage of the nodes in the network "die out" due to lack of energy), network-related transactions through each mobile node must be controlled such that the power dissipation rates of all nodes are nearly the same. Assuming that all nodes start with a finite amount of battery capacity and that the energy dissipation per bit of data and control packet transmission or reception is known, this paper presents a new source-initiated (on-demand) routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks that increases the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the proposed power-aware source routing protocol has a higher performance than other source initiated routing protocols in terms of the network lifetime.

Education
Authors: Bobby Schnabel
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

This issue's Education section contains two quite different sorts of papers: an interesting, practical application that combines the fields of economics and mathematics, and a popular topic in applied mathematics that brings together material from ordinary differential equations and linear algebra. The paper "An Application of Optimal Control to the Economics of Recycling" is a collaboration between an economist, Jannett Highfill, and a mathematician, Michael McAsey. It analyzes the dynamics of the tradeoff between recycling and landfill usage using the techniques of optimal control. In doing so, it shows that constructing an optimal path requires an understanding of both the necessary conditions for the optimal control problem and the endpoint conditions. The paper, which contains several numerical examples and exercises for classroom use, is appropriate for use in a wide range of courses. These could include undergraduate courses in modeling, optimization, applied mathematics, or mathematical economics; a graduate course in optimization methods for economics; or even a natural resources course. The second paper, "Matrix Exponentials---Another Approach," is a posthumous presentation by Jay Fillmore and Donald Smith of an approach that William Harris described shortly before his death in 1998. This approach brings together material from the worlds of ordinary differential equations and linear algebra to derive a rather simple approach to calculating matrix exponentials. The paper contains examples in Mathematica, including a brief example of the ill-conditioning of the problem. As the authors state, the value of the paper is not in providing the ultimate computational approach but rather in its simplicity and elegance. The paper is an attractive module for a course in either ordinary differential equations or numerical linear algebra, as long as students have some sophistication in both areas.

Reducing energy consumption of video memory by bit-width compression
Authors: Vasily G. Moshnyaga, Koji Inoue, Mizuka Fukagawa
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

A new architectural technique to reduce energy dissipation of video memory is proposed. Unlike existing approaches, the technique exploits the pixel correlation in video sequences, dynamically adjusting the memory bit-width to the number of bits changed per pixel. Instead of treating the data bits independently, we group the most significant bits together, activating the corresponding group of bit-lines adaptively to data variation. The method is not restricted to the specific bit-patterns nor depends on the storage phase. It works equally well on read and write accesses, as well as during precharging. Simulation results show that using this method we can reduce the total energy consumption of video memory by 20% without affecting the picture quality.

Efficient Dynamic Traitor Tracing
Authors: Omer Berkman, Michal Parnas, Jirí Sgall
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

The notion of traitor tracing was introduced by Chor, Fiat, and Naor [Tracing Traitors, Lecture Notes in Comput. Sci. 839, 1994, pp. 257--270] in order to combat piracy scenarios. Recently, Fiat and Tassa [ Tracing Traitors, Lecture Notes in Comput. Sci. 1666, 1999, pp. 354--371] proposed a dynamic traitor tracing scenario, in which the algorithm adapts dynamically according to the responses of the pirate. Let n be the number of users and p the number of traitors.Our main result is an algorithm which locates p traitors, even if p is unknown, using a watermarking alphabet of size p+1 and an optimal number of $\Theta(p^2 + p\log n)$ rounds. This improves the exponential number of rounds achieved by Fiat and Tassa in this case. We also present two algorithms that use a larger alphabet: for an alphabet of size p+c+1, $c\geq1$, an algorithm that uses O(p2/c+ p log n) rounds; for an alphabet of size pc+1, an algorithm that uses O(p logcn) rounds.Our final result is a lower bound of $\Omega(p^2/c+p\log_{c+1}n)$ rounds for any algorithm that uses an alphabet of size p+c, assuming that p is not known in advance.
Predictor-Corrector Methods of Runge--Kutta Type for Stochastic Differential Equations
Authors: Kevin Burrage, Tianhai Tian
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In this paper we construct predictor-corrector (PC) methods based on the trivial predictor and stochastic implicit Runge--Kutta (RK) correctors for solving stochastic differential equations. Using the colored rooted tree theory and stochastic B-series, the order condition theorem is derived for constructing stochastic RK methods based on PC implementations. We also present detailed order conditions of the PC methods using stochastic implicit RK correctors with strong global order 1.0 and 1.5. A two-stage implicit RK method with strong global order 1.0 and a four-stage implicit RK method with strong global order 1.5 used as the correctors are constructed in this paper. The mean-square stability properties and numerical results of the PC methods based on these two implicit RK correctors are reported.
