A New Numerical Method for Backward Parabolic Problems in the Maximum-Norm Setting
Authors: J. M. Marbán, C. Palencia
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

A new method for solving numerically backward parabolic problems is proposed. As usual for this kind of ill posed problems, it is assumed that an {a priori} bound for the solution is available. The algorithm consists of two basic steps. First, a standard forward integration is performed, in order to approximate the solution at suitable future time levels. Second, a holomorphic recovery procedure is carried out, providing the required approximations for the preceding times. The analysis is valid in the maximum-norm setting, and rigorous estimates are derived. Among other advantages, the method can also be applied to nonlinear problems, and it produces a continuous output. Some numerical illustrations are presented.

SaarCOR: a hardware architecture for ray tracing
Authors: Jörg Schmittler, Ingo Wald, Philipp Slusallek
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware (2002)

The ray tracing algorithmis well-known for its ability to generate high-quality images and its flexibility to support advanced rendering and lighting effects. Interactive ray tracing has been shown to work well on clusters of PCs and supercomputers but direct hardware support for ray tracing has been difficult to implement.In this paper, we present a new, scalable, modular, and highly efficient hardware architecture for real-time ray tracing. It achieves high performance with extremely low memory bandwidth requirements by efficiently tracing bundles of rays. The architecture is easily configurable to support a variety of workloads. For OpenGL-like scenes our architecture offers performance comparable to state-of-the-artrasterization chips. In addition, it supports all the usual ray tracing features including exact shadows, reflections, and refraction and is capable of efficiently handling complex scenes with millions of triangles. The architecture and its performance in different configurations is analyzed based on cycle-accurate simulations.

Sorting Strings by Reversals and by Transpositions
Authors: David A. Christie, Robert W. Irving
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

The problems of sorting by reversals and sorting by transpositions have been studied because of their applications to genome comparison. Prior studies of both problems have assumed that the sequences to be compared (or sorted) contain no duplicates, but there is a natural generalization in which the sequences are allowed to contain repeated characters. In this paper we study primarily the versions of these problems in which the strings to be compared are drawn from a binary alphabet. We obtain upper and lower bounds for reversal and transposition distance and show that the problem of finding reversal distance between binary strings, and therefore between strings over an arbitrary fixed-size alphabet, is NP-hard.
A process centred environment for cooperative software engineering
Authors: Alf Inge Wang
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The cooperative aspects of software engineering have often been either eliminated or ignored, because it has been to hard to model cooperative activities in existing systems, or there has not been an interest for doing so. This paper describes the CAGIS process centred environment (PCE) that initially has been designed for modelling and providing support for cooperative software processes. The CAGIS PCE consists of three main parts: A simple activity-based workflow tool, a software agent system and a process middleware that glues the workflow tool and the software agent system. The paper describes the overall architecture and each part of the system.
A general decomposition theorem for the k-server problem
Authors: Steven S. Seiden
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

The first general decomposition theorem for the k-server problem is presented. Whereas all previous theorems are for the case of a finite metric with k+1 points, the theorem given here allows an arbitrary number of points in the underlying metric space. This theorem implies O (polylog(k))-competitive randomized algorithms for certain metric spaces consisting of a polylogarithmic number of widely separated subspaces and takes a first step toward a general O (polylog(k))-competitive algorithm. The only other cases for which polylogarithmic competitive randomized algorithms are known are the uniform metric space and the weighted cache metric space with two weights.

Planning with natural actions in the situation calculus
Authors: Fiora Pirri, Raymond Reiter
Venue: Logic-based artificial intelligence (2000)

We describe the theory and implementation of a deductive planner in the situation calculus for domains with two kinds of actions: 1. "free will" actions on the part of agents with the ability to perform or withhold their actions, like choosing to pick up an object, or deciding to walk to some location. 2.Natural actions whose occurrence times are predictable in advance, in which case they must occur at those times unless something happens to prevent them, for example, objects moving under Newtonian laws, or trains arriving and departing in accordance with known schedules. The theoretical basis for our planner is an extension of the situation calculus to accommodate continuous time and natural actions. The planner itself is patterned after that proposed by (Bacchus and Kabanza, 1995; Bacchus and Kabanza, 2000); it is a forward reasoning planner that filters out partial plans using domain and problem-specific information supplied by the user. The planner is implemented in ECLPSE Prolog, and exploits that system's built-in linear constraint solver to do temporal reasoning. We illustrate the planner's workings on a space platform example that we fully axiomatize in the situation calculus.

Learning with Artificial Worlds: Computer-Based Modelling in the Curriculum
Authors: Joan Bliss, Richard Boohan, Jon Ogborn
Venue:  (1994)

:This book is about modelling in education and providing children with computer tools to enable them to create their own worlds, to express their own representations of their world, and also to explore other people's representations. It is about learning with artificial worlds. With the advent of the National Curriculum computer-based modelling is now an integral part of the school curriculum. Teachers are increasingly being encouraged to seek out opportunities for CBM in their own subject and across the curriculum. These new demands have left teachers and teacher trainers concerned as to their lack of experience in this area. This book sets out to provide a comprehensive guide to the area through a very novel approach by classifying modelling into three different kinds, dependent on what is involved in the activity: quantitative, qualitative and semi-quantitative modelling. This books goes beyond any present published work in the area of computer modelling.
A defect-correction method for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations
Authors: W. Layton, H. K. Lee, J. Peterson
Venue: Applied Mathematics and Computation (2002)

A defect-correction method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with a high Reynolds number is considered. In the defect step, the artificial viscosity parameter σ is added to the Reynolds number as a stability factor, and the residual is taken care of in the correction step. H1 and L2 error estimations are derived for the one-step defect-correction method, and the results of some numerical experiments are presented. These results show that, for the driven cavity, two defect-correction steps antidiffuse the artificial viscosity approximation nearly optimally. This combination gives on a very coarse mesh, results indistinguishable from a benchmark, very fine mesh calculation.
Verification and validation: some approaches and paradigms for verifying and validating simulation models
