Metaphor and metonymy in object-oriented design patterns
Authors: James Noble, Robert Biddle, Ewan Tempero
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

The key principle of object-oriented design is that each program object should correspond to an object in the real world, that is to say, a program is a metaphor for the world. More advanced object-oriented designs, such as many of Gamma et. al.'s Design Patterns, are not directly metaphorical: State objects, Strategy objects and Visitor objects, for example, do not correspond to objects in the real world. We show how these patterns, and other similar designs, can be understood as metonymy, rather than metaphor, that is, they are based on an attribute, cause, or effect, rather than being based on something in the world, in terms of Jakobson and Lodge's typology. Understanding how both metaphor and metonymy can be used in design can illustrate how design patterns work alongside more traditional object-oriented modelling to produce designs that are accurate, flexible, and better understood.

ODMG extension of composite objects in OODBMS: a proposal
Authors: Xiaoyan Lu, J. Wenny Rahayu, David Taniar
Venue: Proceedings of the Fortieth International Conference on Tools Pacific: Objects for internet, mobile and embedded applications (2002)

This paper proposes an extension of ODMG (Object Data Management Group) standard for the Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS). The extension concentrates on composite objects, which provides a new paradigm, and also improves traditional OODBMS to meet the needs arising from the aggregation hierarchy. Currently in ODMG, the semantic of the aggregation relationship is explored at the modelling stage and is described in natural language. To formally specify and verify an aggregation relationship, the standardised ODL (Object Definition Language) and OIF (Object Interchange Format) must be utilised. Composite objects classes are defined in an extended ODL, and instance values are initialized with OIF. The proposed ODMG extension in this paper provides a formal foundation for the implementation of aggregation hierarchy in OODBMS..

Optimal and efficient algorithms for summing and prefix summing on parallel machines
Authors: Eunice E. Santos
Venue: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (2002)

The problem of designing efficient parallel algorithms for summing and prefix summing for certain classes of the LogP model is studied. We present optimal algorithms for summing and show that any optimal summing algorithm must have a certain inherent structure. Moreover, we present optimal or near-optimal algorithms for prefix summing for both non-commutative and commutative binary operators. Furthermore, we show that the optimal algorithms for prefix summing for these two types of operators are not equivalent.

Flash 5 Magic with CD-ROM
Authors: David J. Emberton, J. Scott Hamlin
Venue:  (2001)

:You want more ActionScript? Done. A LOT more ActionScript? Say no more. You want more-detailed explanations of the why-and-how behind the techniques and effects? Done. When Flash 4 Magic came out, it turned heads: there simply wasn't another book like it. And while more-advanced Flash developers generally loved its roll-up-the-sleeves approach (here's an effect and how it's done; now you can take this anywhere you want to go for your own stuff), a lot of folks also asked for more in-depth explanations of exactly what was going on behind the code and the techniques. "I see that it works, but exactly WHY?" Flash 4 Magic was designed for users already adept at the basics and as such had a stripped-down approach to explaining stuff. And while Flash 5 Magic is still designed for the non-beginner, we're happy to build into it the features so many readers asked us to consider: Namely more detail on ActionScript, and more detail in all the explanations. As such:1. No material from Flash 4 Magic is repeated.2. Every chapter of the book features ActionScripting. If you're deeply into getting the best out of Flash, you need to know ActionScript, so ActionScript is everywhere in Flash 5 Magic. It is an ActionScript guide, for serious Flash developers.3. There's a lot more context and explanation for all of the effects covered.In Flash 4 Magic, we erred on the side of brevity; this time around, we've added more substantive "here's why what we're showing works the way it does" explanation, without diluting the overall outline.Hey, think of Flash 4 Magic as the beta version, if that helps. And to all of the people who took the time to let us know what you wanted to see in Flash 5 Magic: Thanks. We're listening.
Medium effects on persuasion
Authors: Jan Heim, Trude Asting, Trond Schliemann
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

In this study the effect of different communicative media on the outcome of the interaction between two persons is studied in relation to persuasion. When does the medium have an impact on an effort to try to convince or persuade another person? When arguing on behalf of a third party, participants did better over Audio-only compared with other media (Text chat, Video, Face-to-face). The results suggest that the other person may yield, but there is no evidence that it will result in opinion change as well. The advantage is probably due to the enhanced formality of the medium.

Saving energy with just in time instruction delivery
Authors: Tejas Karkhanis, James E. Smith, Pradip Bose
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Just-In-Time instruction delivery is a general method for saving energy in a microprocessor by dynamically limiting the number of in-flight instructions. The goal is to save energy by 1) fetching valid instructions no sooner than necessary, avoiding cycles stalled in the pipeline -- especially the issue queue, and 2) reducing the number of fetches and subsequent processing of mis-speculated instructions. A simple algorithm monitors performance and adjusts the maximum number of in-flight instructions at fairly long intervals, 100K instructions in this study. The proposed JIT instruction delivery scheme provides the combined benefits of more targeted schemes proposed previously. With only a 3% performance degradation, energy savings in the fetch, decode pipe, and issue queue are 10%, 12%, and 40%, respectively.

Investigating XQuery for querying across database object types
Authors: Nancy Wiegand
Venue: ACM SIGMOD Record (2002)

In addition to facilitating querying over the Web, XML query languages may provide high level constructs for useful facilities in traditional DBMSs that do not currently exist. In particular, current DBMS query languages do not allow querying across database object types to yield heterogeneous results. This paper motivates the usefulness of heterogeneous querying in traditional DBMSs and investigates XQuery, an emerging standard for XML query languages, to express such queries. The usefulness of querying and storing heterogeneous types is also applied to XML data within a Web information system.

Approximate Max-Flow Min-(Multi)Cut Theorems and Their Applications
Authors: Naveen Garg, Vijay V. Vazirani, Mihalis Yannakakis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (1996)

Consider the multicommodity flow problem in which the object is to maximize the sum of commodities routed. We prove the following approximate max-flow min-multicut theorem: $$ \dst \frac{\mbox{\rm min multicut}}{O(\log k)} \leq \mbox{ \rm max flow } \leq \mbox{ \rm min multicut}, $$ \noindent where $k$ is the number of commodities. Our proof is constructive; it enables us to find a multicut within $O(\log k)$ of the max flow (and hence also the optimal multicut). In addition, the proof technique provides a unified framework in which one can also analyse the case of flows with specified demands of Leighton and Rao and Klein et al. and thereby obtain an improved bound for the latter problem.

Defined functions
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1983)

Algorithms written in APL are called defined functions. A defined function consists of a header line and zero or more body lines. The header line indicates the name and syntax class of the function and gives a list of names to be localised and, in the case of argument names, initialised. Each body line consists of an optional label followed by an APL line to be evaluated. Body lines are evaluated in the order in which they occur in the defined function unless a statement beginning with a right arrow is evaluated.A defined function is established in a workspace by the system function &squ;FX, by actions in function definition mode, or by the system command )COPY.In this standard, a defined-function is represented as an object with three attributes: canonical-representation, trace-vector, and stop-vector. A defined-function is called when its name occurs in a prefix of the current-stack matching one of the patterns in the phrase-table.A defined-function is called by the operation call defined function. This operation prefixes the state-indicator with a new context, localises and initialises any local names in the header-line, and calls the operation defined-function-control.A defined-function ends when defined-function-control finds current-line-number set to a value not in the closed-interval-between one and last-line-number. At this point, the first item of the state-indicator is discarded and a token of class result is returned, via call defined function, to the phrase-evaluator that called it.The returned token may be constant (for functions returning a value), nil (for functions that return no value), unwind (for functions that end through the evaluation of an escape arrow), or reset (as the result of an )SIC command).If a line in a defined-function signals an error, immediate-execution is called to report the error and suspend the defined-function. Immediate-execution may return either a branch to indicate that evaluation of the defined-function should continue, or an escape or reset to indicate that the defined-function context should be removed from the state-indicator.
