What do the eyes behold for human-computer interaction?
Authors: Roel Vertegaal
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 symposium on Eye tracking research & applications (2002)

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the use of eye tracking systems for interactive purposes. However, it is easy to be fooled by the interactive power of eye tracking. When first encountering eye based interaction, most people are genuinely impressed with the almost magical window into the mind of the user that it seems to provide. There are two reasons why this belief may lead to subsequent disappointment. Firstly, although current eye tracking equipment is far superior to that used in the seventies and early eighties, it is by no means perfect. For example, there is still the tradeoff between the use of an obtrusive head-based system or a desk-based system with limited head movement. Such technical problems continue to limit the usefulness of eye tracking as a generic form of input. Secondly, there are real methodological problems regarding the interpretation of eye input for use in graphical user interfaces. One example, the "Midas Touch" problem, is observed in systems that use eye movements to directly control a mouse cursor. When does the system decide that a user is interested in a visual object? Systems that implement dwell time for this purpose run the risk of disallowing visual scanning behavior, requiring users to control their eye movements for the purposes of output, rather than input. However, difficulties in the interpretation of visual interest remain even when systems use another input modality for signaling intent. Another classic methodological problem is exemplified by the application of eye movement recording in usability studies. Although eye fixations provide some of the best measures of visual interest, they do not provide a measure of cognitive interest. It is one thing to determine whether a user has observed certain visual information, but quite another to determine whether this information has in fact been processed or understood. Some of our technological problems can and will be solved. However, we believe that our methodological issues point to a more fundamental problem: What is the nature of the input information conveyed by eye movements and to what interactive functions can this information provide added value?
Performance evaluation for a compressed-VLIW processor
Authors: Sunghyun Jee, Kannappan Palaniappan
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper presents a new ILP processor architecture called Compressed VLIW (CVLIW). The CVLIW processor constructs a sequence of long instructions by removing nearly all NOPs (No OPerations) and LNOPs (Long NOPs) from VLIW code. The CVLIW processor individually schedules each instruction within long instructions using functional unit and dynamic scheduler pairs. Every dynamic scheduler in the CVLIW processor individually checks for data dependencies and resource collisions while scheduling each instruction. In this paper, we simulate the architecture and show that the CVLIW processor performs better than the VLIW processor for a wide range of cache sizes and across various numerical benchmark applications. These performance gains of the CVLIW processor result from individual instruction scheduling and size reduction of object code. Even though we assume a cache with a zero miss rate, the CVLIW's performance is still 9%~15% higher than that of the VLIW processor regardless of benchmark applications.

On the algebraic and geometric foundations of computer graphics
Authors: Ron Goldman
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

Today's computer graphics is ostensibly based upon insights from projective geometry and computations on homogeneous coordinates. Paradoxically, however, projective spaces and homogeneous coordinates are incompatible with much of the algebra and a good deal of the geometry currently in actual use in computer graphics. To bridge this gulf between theory and practice, Grassmann spaces are proposed here as an alternative to projective spaces. We establish that unlike projective spaces, Grassmann spaces do support all the algebra and geometry needed for contemporary computer graphics. We then go on to explain how to exploit this algebra and geometry for a variety of applications, both old and new, including the graphics pipeline, shading algorithms, texture maps, and overcrown surfaces.

Quantifying and enhancing power awareness of VLSI systems
Authors: Manish Bhardwaj, Rex Min, Anantha P. Chandrakasan
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

An increasingly important figure-of-merit of a VLSI system is "power awareness," which is its ability to scale power consumption in response to changing operating conditions. These changes might be brought about by the time-varying nature of inputs, desired output quality, or just environmental conditions. Regardless of whether they were engineered for being power aware, systems display variations in power consumption as conditions change. This implies, by the definition above, that all systems are naturally power aware to some extent. However, one would expect that some systems are "more" power aware than others. Equivalently, we should be able to re-engineer systems to increase their power awareness. In this paper, we attempt to quantitatively define power awareness and how such awareness can be enhanced using a systematic technique. We illlustrate this technique by applying it to VLSI systems at several levels of the system hierarchy--- multipliers, register files, digital filters, dynamic voltage-scaled processors, and data-gathering wireless networks. It is seen that, as a result, the power awareness of these preceding systems can be significantly enhanced leading to increases in battery lifetimes in the range of 60 - 200%.
Dynamic database dumping
Authors: Daniel J. Rosenkrantz
Venue: Proceedings of the 1978 ACM SIGMOD international conference on management of data (1978)

Several methods are studied for dynamically creating a dump copy of a database while the database is on-line and being updated by user transactions. The methods can be characterized by whether the dump represents the database that existed at the beginning of the dump creation, at the end, or sometime in the middle. The methods are analyzed to understand the performance tradeoffs between alternate methods. The methods vary in the time required to create the dump and the amount of extra storage needed. A key parameter of a given system is shown to be the ratio of the rate at which database entities are copied into the dump to the rate at which database entities are updated. For certain methods to work, the ratio must exceed one. However, by combining two methods into a hybrid scheme, the ratio need only exceed one half.

Apportioning: A Technique for Efficient Reachability Analysis of Concurrent Object-Oriented Programs
Authors: Sridhar Iyer, S. Ramesh
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2001)

The object-oriented paradigm in software engineering provides support for the construction of modular and reusable program components and is attractive for the design of large and complex distributed systems. Reachability analysis is an important and well-known tool for static analysis of critical properties in concurrent programs, such as deadlock freedom. It involves the systematic enumeration of all possible global states of program execution and provides the same level of assurance for properties of the synchronization structure in concurrent programs, such as formal verification. However, direct application of traditional reachability analysis to concurrent object-oriented programs has many problems, such as incomplete analysis for reusable classes (not safe) and increased computational complexity (not efficient). We have proposed a novel technique called apportioning, for safe and efficient reachability analysis of concurrent object-oriented programs, that is based upon a simple but powerful idea of classification of program analysis points as local (having influence within a class) and global (having possible influence outside a class). Given a program and a classification of its analysis points, reachability graphs are generated for 1) an abstract version of each class in the program having only local analysis points and 2) an abstract version of the whole program having only global analysis points. The error to be checked is decomposed into a number of subproperties, which are checked in the appropriate reachability graphs. Different choices for the classification of analysis points, provide the flexibility to have many algorithms that are safe and efficient for different subclasses of programs. We have developed a number of apportioning-based algorithms, having different degrees of safety and efficiency. In this paper, we present the details of one of these algorithms, formally show its safety for an appropriate class of programs, and present experimental results to demonstrate its efficiency for various examples.
Writing for adaptable documentation
Authors: Erik Berglund
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

The rapid development of reusable software components results in an information-overload problem in the development process. Software developers must read large amounts of documentation. Adaptive documentation is one way to address this problem and support efficient reading. However, in our view, adaptive documentation requires a writing process that delivers the pedagogical strategies for adaptivity. In this paper, we take stance in a project on adaptive software reference documentation and discuss the requirements on writing. We also discuss writing trends and Web languages in relation to adaptivity. We conclude that describing change in documentation is not supported on an authoring level but rather on a programming level.

Meeting the application in user space
Authors: H. Assenmacher, T. Breitbach, P. Buhler, V. Hübsch, H. Peine, R. Schwarz
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

In modern programming environments, the increasing variety of programming models cannot be satisfactorily matched by a single operating system interface. An interface adaptable to specific application needs requires a user-level realization of system services. The operating system kernel should be reduced to minimal functionality, not biased towards a particular programming paradigm. To provide flexibility in the construction of interface families, we propose a system architecture based on a small set of orthogonal abstractions.
Proportional differentiated services: delay differentiation and packet scheduling
Authors: Constantinos Dovrolis, Dimitrios Stiliadis, Parameswaran Ramanathan
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2002)

The proportional differentiation model provides the network operator with the 'tuning knobs' for adjusting the per-hop quality-of-service (QoS) ratios between classes, independent of the class loads. This paper applies the proportional model in the differentiation of queueing delays, and investigates appropriate packet scheduling mechanisms. Starting from the proportional delay differentiation (PDD) model, we derive the average queueing delay in each class, show the dynamics of the class delays under the PDD constraints, and state the conditions in which the PDD model is feasible. The feasibility model of the model can be determined from the average delays that result with the strict priorities scheduler. We then focus on scheduling mechanisms that can implement the PDD model, when it is feasible to do so. The proportional average delay (PAD) scheduler meets the PDD constraints, when they are feasible, but it exhibits a pathological behavior in short timescales. The waiting time priority (WTP) scheduler, on the other hand, approximates the PDD model closely, even in the short timescales of a few packet departures, but only in heavy load conditions. PAD and WTP serve as motivation for the third scheduler, called hybrid proportional delay (HPD). HPD approximates the PDD model closely, when the model is feasible, independent of the class load distribution. Also, HPD provides predictable delay differentiation even in short timescales.
Wanted: an application aware checkpointing service
Authors: Colin Allison
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

Checkpointing is an essential component of many application frameworks but OS kernels rarely offer assistance with this task although they are in a very good position to do so. OS process management could and should be extended to accommodate this common need and provide an application aware system service.
