Controlling high bandwidth aggregates in the network
Authors: Ratul Mahajan, Steven M. Bellovin, Sally Floyd, John Ioannidis, Vern Paxson, Scott Shenker
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2002)

The current Internet infrastructure has very few built-in protection mechanisms, and is therefore vulnerable to attacks and failures. In particular, recent events have illustrated the Internet's vulnerability to both denial of service (DoS) attacks and flash crowds in which one or more links in the network (or servers at the edge of the network) become severely congested. In both DoS attacks and flash crowds the congestion is due neither to a single flow, nor to a general increase in traffic, but to a well-defined subset of the traffic --- an aggregate. This paper proposes mechanisms for detecting and controlling such high bandwidth aggregates. Our design involves both a local mechanism for detecting and controlling an aggregate at a single router, and a cooperative pushback mechanism in which a router can ask upstream routers to control an aggregate. While certainly not a panacea, these mechanisms could provide some needed relief from flash crowds and flooding-style DoS attacks. The presentation in this paper is a first step towards a more rigorous evaluation of these mechanisms.

Inexact Simplified Newton Iterations for Implicit Runge-Kutta Methods
Authors: Laurent O. Jay
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

We consider possibly stiff and implicit systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The major difficulty and computational bottleneck in the implementation of fully implicit Runge--Kutta (IRK) methods resides in the numerical solution of the resulting systems of nonlinear equations. To solve those systems we show that the use of inexact simplified Newton methods is efficient. Linear systems of the simplified Newton method are solved approximately with a preconditioned linear iterative method. Sufficient conditions ensuring local convergence of the inexact simplified Newton method for general nonlinear equations are given. The preconditioner that we use is based on the W-transformation of the RK coefficients and on the block-LU decomposition of the simplified Jacobian after W-transformation. A new code based on those techniques, SPARK3, is shown to be effective on two problems; the first one is a linear convection-diffusion problem and the second one a reaction-diffusion problem.

Multi-agent coordination and control using stigmergy applied to manufacturing control
Authors: Paul Valckenears, Hendrik Van Brussel, Martin Kollingbaum, Olaf Bochmann
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

This manuscript discusses multi-agent coordination and control using techniques inspired by the behavior of social insects. It presents a system design that enables desirable overall behavior to emerge without exposing the individual agents to the complexity and dynamics of the overall system. The research, which this paper discusses, focuses on manufacturing control. However, the approach remains applicable to the coordination and control of other types of ironware systems (e.g. traffic, supply chain).

Communication-Free Alignment for Array References with Linear Subscripts in Three Loop Index Variables or Quadratic Subscripts
Authors: Weng-Long Chang, Chih-Ping Chu, Jia-Hwa Wu
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2001)

Bau et al. proposed an efficient and precise data alignment method to ascertain whether there is communication-free alignment of array reference function with linear subscripts in one loop index variable. Chu et al. presented an efficient and precise data alignment method to determine whether there is communication-free alignment of array reference function with linear subscripts in two loop index variables or quadratic subscripts (ai^2+bi+d). However, for array reference function with linear subscripts in three loop index variables or quadratic subscripts (ai^2+bi+cj+d), their methods cannot be applied. In this paper, we propose two new alignment functions for loop iteration space and array elements. The new alignment functions can be applied towards checking whether there is communication-free alignment of array reference function with linear subscripts in three loop index variables or quadratic subscripts. Experiments with benchmarks taken from Parallel loop and Vector loop showed that among the 7 nested loops tested, three of them had their data alignment improved by the method proposed.

Algebraic Multilevel Methods and Sparse Approximate Inverses
Authors: Matthias Bollhöfer, Volker Mehrmann
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2002)

In this paper we introduce a new approach to algebraic multilevel methods and their use as preconditioners in iterative methods for the solution of symmetric positive definite linear systems. The multilevel process and, in particular, the coarsening process are based on the construction of sparse approximate inverses and their augmentation with corrections of smaller size. We present comparisons of the effectiveness of the resulting multilevel technique and numerical results.
The Geometry of Multiple Images: The Laws That Govern The Formation of Images of A Scene and Some of Their Applications
Authors: Olivier Faugeras, Quang-Tuan Luong, T. Papadopoulou
Venue:  (2001)

:with contributions from Theo Papadopoulo Over the last forty years, researchers have made great strides in elucidating the laws of image formation, processing, and understanding by animals, humans, and machines. This book describes the state of knowledge in one subarea of vision, the geometric laws that relate different views of a scene. Geometry, one of the oldest branches of mathematics, is the natural language for describing three-dimensional shapes and spatial relations. Projective geometry, the geometry that best models image formation, provides a unified framework for thinking about many geometric problems relevant to vision. The book formalizes and analyzes the relations between multiple views of a scene from the perspective of various types of geometries. A key feature is that it considers Euclidean and affine geometries as special cases of projective geometry. Images play a prominent role in computer communications. Producers and users of images, in particular three-dimensional images, require a framework for stating and solving problems. The book offers a number of conceptual tools and theoretical results useful for the design of machine vision algorithms. It also illustrates these tools and results with many examples of real applications.

People's Liberation Army in the Information Age
Authors: James C. Mulvenon, Richard H. Yang
Venue:  (1999)

:This volume is the product of a conference, jointly sponsored by the RAND Center for Asia-Pacific Policy (CAPP) and the Taiwan-based Chinese Council of Advanced Policy Studies (CAPS), held in San Diego, California, from 9-12 July 1998. The meeting brought together Chinese military experts to discuss a subject too long ignored: the non-hardware side of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA's) modernization. The result is a comprehensive examination of the critical "software" side of China's military modernization, covering topics as diverse as civil-military relations, professionalism, logistics, training, doctrine, systems integration, and force structure. Whereas financial and logistical support for the conference was supplied by CAPS and CAPP, funding for the publication of this volume was provided by RAND's Project AIR FORCE Strategy and Doctrine Program, under the leadership of Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad. This program is in the third year of a comprehensive study of issues related to Chinese military and security affairs for the United States Air Force; the project is entitled "Chinese Defense Modernization and Its Implications for the U.S. Air Force." It focuses on the fundamental question of how U.S. policy should deal with China, a rising power that could have the capability, in the not too distant future, of challenging the U.S. position in East Asia and its military, political, and economic access to that dynamic and important region. It then addresses the implications for the Air Force, in the areas of shaping the environment, deterrence, and war fighting. To achieve these objectives, RAND is building a "Center of Excellence" for the study of China and the PLA. PROJECT AIRFORCE Project AIR FORCE, a division of RAND, is the Air Force federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for studies and analyses. It provides the Air Force with independent analyses of policy alternatives affecting the development, employment, combat readiness, and support of current and future aerospace forces. Research is performed in three programs: Strategy and Doctrine, Force Modernization and Employment, and Resource Management and System Acquisition.
