An 8-Approximation Algorithm for the Subset Feedback Vertex Set Problem
Authors: Guy Even
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

We present an 8-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding a minimum weight subset feedback vertex set (or subset-fvs, in short). The input in this problem consists of an undirected graph G=(V,E) with vertex weights c(v) and a subset of vertices S called special vertices. A cycle is called interesting if it contains at least one special vertex. A subset of vertices is called a subset-fvs with respect to S if it intersects every interesting cycle. The goal is to find a minimum weight subset-fvs. The best previous algorithm for the general case provided only a logarithmic approximation factor. The minimum weight subset-fvs problem generalizes two NP-complete problems: the minimum weight feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs and the minimum weight multiway vertex cut problem. The main tool that we use in our algorithm and its analysis is a new version of multicommodity flow, which we call relaxed multicommodity flow. Relaxed multicommodity flow is a hybrid of multicommodity flow and multiterminal flow.

Understanding the Linux Kernel
Authors: Daniel Pierre Bovet, Marco Cassetti
Venue:  (2000)

:Have you ever wondered why is Linux so efficient? Are you trying to determine whether its performance will be good for some unusual application you have in mind? Have you ever tried to look at the kernel source code? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, this is the book for you. Understanding the Linux Kernel hands you a guided tour to the Linux kernel and gives you many insights of great value and significance. Linux is presented too often as a casual hacker experiment. But it has increasingly become not only a mission-critical part of many organizations, but a sophisticated display of programming skill. It incorporates many advanced operating system concepts and has proven itself extremely robust and efficient for a wide range of uses. After reading this book, you will understand when Linux performs best and how it meets the challenge of different environments that assign varying importance to the system's responsiveness in process scheduling, file access, and memory management. The authors introduce each topic by explaining why it is important, and relate kernel operations to the system calls or utilities that are familiar to Unix programmers and users. Major topics include: Memory management, including file buffering, process swapping, and DirectMemory Access (DMA) The Virtual File System and the Second Extended File System Process creation and scheduling Signals, interrupts, and the essential interfaces to device drivers Timing Synchronization in the kernel Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Program execution

Cyberwars: Espionage on the Internet, 1st edition
Authors: Jean Guisnel
Venue:  (1997)

:Cyberwars documents the always intriguing and sometimes terrifying story of how a few individuals have manipulated this far-reaching new medium for personal or political gain. Jean Guisnel, preeminent journalist and a specialist on defense issues, describes blow by blow the battles on the Internet waged by people who "make Mata Hari and James Bond look like antiques" (Le Figaro). Brilliant hackers like Kevin Mitnik - modern-day "pirates" - pose real security threats to governments and industry. International terrorists plot their attacks and are tracked by secret service organizations online, and drug traffickers do business and launder money there. Electronic economic espionage between governments have become the order of the day. In the wake of the Cold War, the world's intelligence organizations play out deadly new games on the Net. Examining Clinton's ill-fated "Clipper" initiative, his call for a national data-encryption standard that would make it possible for law-enforcement agencies, if authorized by a court, to decode private voice and data communications, as well as the Communications Decency Act, aimed at protecting minors from "inappropriate" Internet material, Guisnel assesses the implications of pervasive surveillance for the inherently democratic medium of the Internet. With these issues being the focus of ongoing debates in government and the private sector, Cyberwars couldn't be more timely.
On the Elasticity of the Perron Root of a Nonnegative Matrix
Authors: S. J. Kirkland, M. Neumann, N. Ormes, J. Xu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2002)

Let A=(ai,j) be an n &times; n nonnegative irreducible matrix whose Perron root is $\lambda$. The quantity $e_{i,j}=\frac{a_{i,j}}{\lam}\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial a_{i,j}}$ is known as the elasticity of $\lambda$ with respect to ai,j. In this paper, we give two proofs of the fact that $\frac{\partial e_{i,j}}{\partial a_{i,j}} \geq 0$ so that ei,j is increasing as a function of ai,j. One proof uses ideas from symbolic dynamics, while the other, which is matrix theoretic, also yields a characterization of the case when $\frac{\partial e_{i,j}}{\partial a_{i,j}}=0$. We discuss a resulting connection between the elements of A and the elements of the group inverse of $\lambda I -A.$
Handling summary information in a database: derivability
Authors: Hideto Sato
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

"Summary data" is a representation of "groups of facts." Statistics are a typical example of summary data, which is often a major component of databases that deal with huge domains, such as objects in a whole country or events that occurred over a long time range. Although any summary can be reproduced from the corresponding originals, these are often unavailable and the required data may or may not be derivable from the given summary data. A schema of summary data is defined as a relationship between classifications of object types and domains for attributes. Reclassification rules are introduced as semantic relations among classifications. Set theoretical lemmata provide an inference mechanism that judges derivability of required summary data from collected summary data, and derives the former, if it is derivable, from the latter. It is also shown how this inference mechanism improves a summary database in usability and logical data independence. Discussions are made with examples in the statistical field.

Coping with communication gray zones in IEEE 802.11b based ad hoc networks
Authors: Henrik Lundgren, Erik Nordströ, Christian Tschudin
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Wireless mobile multimedia (2002)

Our experiments with IEEE 802.11b based wireless ad hoc networks show that neighbor sensing with broadcast messages introduces "communication gray zones": in such zones data messages cannot be exchanged although the HELLO messages indicate neighbor reachability. This leads to a systematic mismatch between the route state and the real world connectivity, resulting in disruptive behavior for multi-media data transfer over ad hoc routing protocols. Concentrating on AODV we explore this issue and evaluate three different techniques to overcome the gray zone problem. We present quantitative measurements of these improvements and discuss the consequences for ad hoc routing protocols and their implementations.

Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Collaborative virtual environments
Venue: Collaborative Virtual Environments (2002)

CVEs are computer-based worlds that can enhance and expand our ability to communicate with others and collaborate on the creation and exploration of data. They are a complement to existing tools that support human-human collaboration. Many computer-based tools for communication and collaboration (such as email) focus on the passage and sharing of content and assume a baton-passing, cooperative model of human-human interaction; that is, individual content creation, manipulation and editing, with asynchronous content exchange and mark-up. Where synchronous communication is supported, tools tend to target the data to be shared (distributed whiteboards) or give primary focus to the human-human communication itself (chat spaces). In all cases, the presence of people along with the data is very limited (e.g. static images, shared telepointers). By contrast CVEs focus on putting interactive, dynamic representations of data and people into virtual landscapes and offer rich mechanisms for navigation, exploration and communication.CVEs can be graphical or textual. They can be task-specific - supporting a focused set of actions over carefully rendered data sets - or can be task-independent - offering editable spaces wherein objects and data are created, modified and acted upon by their inhabitants. CVEs can be entirely computer-based, or can be include elements of the physical world, forming "augmented" or "mixed-reality" spaces. Thus, CVEs have been designed and developed that can support exploration, communication and collaboration between people who are physically remote but co-present in an entirely computer-generated world. CVEs also exist that allow people who are physically co-present to share views of metadata, people and objects that are projected into the physical world.Since the inception of this conference series in the UK in 1996, the aim of the CVE conferences has been to inspire fruitful discussion and encourage information flow between practitioners of different disciplines. This is a very exciting time for designers, developers and inhabitants of CVEs, and CVE 2002 provides the perfect opportunity for discussing new advances, challenges and opportunities. The increased availability of high bandwidth networks, advances in networking research, improvements in graphics and animation, and developments in input techniques and technologies all signal an explosion in the utility and availability of CVEs. Scientists, artists, sociologists, engineers and designers are exploiting these technological developments and exploring the design of novel methods of interaction with others and with data, social navigation within and between data spaces, new forms of community, and new uses of CVEs in work and recreational contexts.
