StarOffice 5.2 Writer Handbook
Authors: Nancy D. Warner
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:PREFACE: IntroductionStarOffice Writer HandbookUpon writing this book, individuals using StarOffice Writer on a daily basis were asked about the type of things that they wanted in a Writer book. The overwhelming response was, "Don't go into long explanations on what the features are, just give us an example and tell us the exact steps to perform the task." And accordingly, this is the fundamental precept for this book. You won't find lengthy explanations that don't get the job done; instead, you'll learn when a task should be performed and the exact steps to make it happenfast! For example, we all know what a table of contents is: you use it to locate specific places in your document according to main headings and other in-text references, such as tables or illustrations. As you might guess, this book explains how to open your document, perform the steps, and end up with a table of contents.This example segues nicely into talking about the table of contents contained in this book. It is organized so that instead of having sections listed according to the menus or commands in the book, they are listed based on the task you want to perform. (Of course, they are arranged based on similar Writer features so that you don't have to look through the entire table of contents each time you want to find something.) For example, if you want to know how to create a new template, find the chapter on "Styles and Templates" and locate the section "To Create a New Template." It will be there, instead of being buried in an unrelated section as a fifth level header that, by the way, might not even get listed in the table of contents. Of course,youcan and should use the index as well, but this book makes both the table of contents and the index a valuable resource for finding the tasks you want to perform.In today's busy work-world, where things need to happen fast, StarOffice Writer Handbook will have you quickly working with even the most complicated tasks. FeedbackWhile every effort has been made to ensure that this book is accurate and timely, there is no doubt that some errors will be found or that information in this book will be overtaken by subsequent releases of StarOffice. If you find anything in need of correction, please let me know at warner58@home.com. I will ensure that the necessary corrections are made in future releases or in errata.
An Algorithm for Global Optimization using the Taylor&ndash;Bernstein Form as Inclusion Function
Authors: P. S. V. Nataray, K. Kotecha
Venue: Journal of Global Optimization (2002)

We investigate the use of higher order inclusion functions in the Moore&ndash;Skelboe (MS) algorithm of interval analysis (IA) for unconstrained global optimization. We first propose an improvement of the Taylor&ndash;Bernstein (TB) form given in (Lin and Rokne (1996) 101) which has the property of higher order convergence. We make the improvement so that the TB form is more effective in practice. We then use the improved TB form as an inclusion function in a prototype MS algorithm and also modify the cut-off test and termination condition in the algorithm. We test and compare on several examples the performances of the proposed algorithm, the MS algorithm, and the MS algorithm with the Taylor model of Berz and Hoffstatter (1998; 97) as inclusion function. The results of these (preliminary) tests indicate that the proposed algorithm with the improved TB form as inclusion function is quite effective for low to medium dimension problems studied.

On institutions for modular coalgebraic specifications
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We present an algebraic extension of standard coalgebraic specification techniques for state-based systems which allows us to integrate constants and n-ary operations in a smooth way and which leads to institutions enabling the use of modular specification techniques. A sound and complete proof system for first-order observational properties of modular specifications is given. The framework of (,)-structures that we present can be considered as the result of a transformation of concepts of observational logic as in Hennicker and Bidoit (in: A. Haeberer (Ed.), Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology (AMAST'98), Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 1548, Springer, Berlin, 1999) into the coalgebraic world. Moreover, it is shown that the features of (,)-structures that make them suitable models for an observational approach to specifications can be categorically expressed by the fact that the operation mapping an (,)-structure to its behaviour is a fibred idempotent monad.

A pumping lemma for random permitting context languages
Authors: Sigrid Ewert, Andries van der Walt
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Random context grammars belong to the class of context-free grammars with regulated rewriting. Their productions depend on context that may be randomly distributed in a sentential form. Context is classified as either permitting or forbidding, where permitting context enables the application of a production and forbidding context inhibits it. For random context languages of finite index a generalization of the well-known pumping lemma for context-free languages has been proven. We drop the finite index restriction and concentrate on non-erasing grammars that use permitting context only. We prove a pumping lemma for their languages that generalizes and refines the existing one, and show that these grammars are strictly weaker than the non-erasing random context grammars

SIVA: A System for Coverage-Directed State Space Search
Authors: Malay Ganai, Praveen Yalagandula, Adnan Aziz, Andreas Kuehlmann, Vigyan Singhal
Venue: Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications (2001)

We introduce SImulation Verification with Augmentation (SIVA), a tool for coverage-directed state space search on digital hardware designs. SIVA tightly integrates simulation with symbolic techniques for efficient state space search. Specifically, the core algorithm uses a combination of ATPG and BDDs to generate &ldquo;directed&rdquo; input vectors, i.e., inputs which cover behavior not excited by simulation. We also present approaches to automatically generate &ldquo;lighthouses&rdquo; that guide the search towards hard-to-reach coverage goals. Experiments demonstrate that our approach is capable of achieving significantly greater coverage than either simulation or symbolic techniques in isolation.

Feature Weight Maintenance in Case Bases Using Introspective Learning
Authors: Zhong Zhang, Qiang Yang
Venue: Journal of Intelligent Information Systems (2001)

A key issue in case-based reasoning is how to maintain the domain knowledge in the face of a changing environment. During the case retrieval process in case-based reasoning, feature-value pairs are used to compute the ranking scores of the cases in a case base, and different feature-value pairs may have different importance measures, represented as weight values, in this computation. How to maintain a set of appropriate feature weights so that they can be used to solve future problems effectively and efficiently will be a key factor in determining the success of case-based reasoning applications.Our focus in this paper is on the dynamic maintenance of feature weights in a case base. We address a particular problem related to the feature-weight maintenance issue. In current practice, the feature weights are assigned and revised manually, not only making them highly informal and inaccurate, but also involving intensive labor. We would like to introduce a semi-automatic introspective learning method to partially address this issue. Our approach is to construct a network architecture on the case base that supports introspective learning. Weight learning and weight-evolution are accomplished in the background through the integration of a learning network into case-based reasoning, in which, while the reasoning part is still case based, the learning part is shouldered by a layered network. The computation in the network follows well-known neural network algorithms with well known properties. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through experiments.
Exact Penalization and Necessary Optimality Conditions for Generalized Bilevel Programming Problems
Authors: J. J. Ye, D. L. Zhu, Q. J. Zhu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

The generalized bilevel programming problem (GBLP) is a bilevel mathematical program where the lower level is a variational inequality. In this paper we prove that if the objective function of a GBLP is uniformly Lipschitz continuous in the lower level decision variable with respect to the upper level decision variable, then using certain uniform parametric error bounds as penalty functions gives single level problems equivalent to the GBLP. Several local and global uniform parametric error bounds are presented, and assumptions guaranteeing that they apply are discussed. We then derive Kuhn--Tucker-type necessary optimality conditions by using exact penalty formulations and nonsmooth analysis.
Egocentric context-aware programming in ad hoc mobile environments
Authors: Christine Julien, Gruia-Catalin Roman
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGSOFT symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2002)

Some of the most dynamic systems being built today consist of physically mobile hosts and logically mobile agents. Such systems exhibit frequent configuration changes and a great deal of resource variability. Applications executing under these circumstances need to react continuously and rapidly to changes in operating conditions and must adapt their behavior accordingly. The development of such applications demands a reexamination of the notion of context and the mechanisms used to manage the application's response to contextual changes. This paper introduces EgoSpaces, a coordination model and middleware for ad hoc mobile environments. EgoSpaces focuses on the needs of application development in ad hoc environments by proposing an agent-centered notion of context, called a view, whose scope extends beyond the local host to data and resources associated with hosts and agents within a subnet surrounding the agent of interest. An agent may operate over multiple views whose definitions may change over time. An agent uses declarative specifications to constrain the contents of each view by employing a rich set of constraints that take into consideration properties of the individual data items, the agents that own them, the hosts on which the agents reside, and the physical and logical topology of the ad hoc network. This paper formalizes the concept of view, explores the notion of programming against views, discusses possible implementation strategies for transparent context maintenance, and describes our current prototype of the system. We include examples to illustrate the expressive power of the view abstraction and to relate it to other research on coordination models and middleware.
