Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications
Venue: ACM Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (2002)

The Solid Modeling Symposium series is an international forum for the exchange of recent research and applications of solid modeling, shape modeling, and geometric computation in design, analysis and manufacturing, as well as in emerging biomedical, geophysical and other areas. Previous symposia in this series were held in Austin, Texas, 1991; Montreal, Canada, 1993; Salt Lake City, Utah, 1995; Atlanta, Georgia, 1997; and Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1999 and 2001. These brought together prominent researchers, practitioners, and numerous students in the field.The Seventh ACM Symposium on Solid Modeling and Applications was held at the Max-Planck-Institut f&uuml;r Infomatik, in Saarbr&uuml;cken, Germany, on June 17-21, 2002. Starting in 2002, the Symposium is expected to be held annually, alternating in location between the USA and other countries with a two year period. Pre-symposium activities included short courses and tutorials held on the two days preceding the plenary sessions. We thank ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics for sponsoring the symposium, and the Max-Planck-Institut f&uuml;r Infomatik for organizing the symposium this year. In particular, we thank Hans-Peter Seidel and Vadim Shapiro for their work as general co-chairs of the symposium. We also thank Jens Vorsatz for developing and maintaining the web site of the symposium http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/conferences/sm02/ and Sabine Budde, conference secretary, for assisting in the conference organization.Ninety three papers were submitted to the symposium. All papers were assigned to a member of the program committee by the program co-chairs. Each paper was reviewed by the program committee member and, in general, at least three reviewers selected by the program commitee member. Based on the recommendations of the program committee members and the reviewers, the program co-chairs made the final selections of the papers and posters. We thank all the members of the program committee and reviewers for their expert assistance in this selection process. The final program of the symposium consists of 9 refereed paper sessions with 26 paper presentations and a poster session with 17 posters. There are also 3 invited papers. These proceedings contain the 43 refereed papers and the abstracts of the three invited papers. Unfortunately, as is the case in conferences where many papers are submitted and only a small number can be accepted, some good papers could not be accepted. We thank all the authors of all papers for their contributions to the success of this symposium. The topics of the papers range from fundamental issues on the representation and manipulation of solid models to applications of solid modeling in various fields. Altogether, the papers present many interesting solutions to current problems in solid modeling, as well as valuable insights for future work in this area.
Simulated Annealing: Searching for an Optimal Temperature Schedule
Authors: Harry Cohn, Mark Fielding
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

A sizable part of the theoretical literature on simulated annealing deals with a property called convergence, which asserts that the simulated annealing chain is in the set of global minimum states of the objective function with probability tending to 1. However, in practice, the convergent algorithms are considered too slow, whereas a number of nonconvergent ones are usually preferred. We attempt a detailed analysis of various temperature schedules. Examples will be given of when it is both practically and theoretically justified to use boiling, fixed temperature, or even fast cooling schedules which have a small probability of reaching global minima. Applications to traveling salesman problems of various sizes are also given.
Big Book of Internet File Transfer RFCs, 1st edition
Authors: Pete Loshin
Venue:  (2000)

:One of the first applications implemented on the Internet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is also one of the most fundamental, supported by virtually all systems connected to the Internet. No single document defines FTP, but rather an entire sequence of documents published online as Requests for Comments (RFCs). This book collects and organizes these essential documents in a single printed volume, adding an introduction and extensive index. This means you no longer have to search through various RFCs in hopes of finding the answer to your FTP question - all the current and relevant RFCs are compiled here, with an extensive index that makes it simple to locate precisely the answer you need." "Taken together, the FTP RFCs describe all the Internet protocols client and servers can use to do file transfer via FTP. In addition to documenting file transfer mechanics, readers will find practical instructions on various techniques, including using file transfers for network booting and how to manage the security issues involved with file transfer over the Internet.

Cathedral & the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary, 2nd edition
Authors: Eric S. Raymond
Venue:  (2001)

:"It all started with a series of odd statistics. The leading challenger to Microsoft's stranglehold on the computer industry is an operating system called Linux, the product of thousands of volunteer programmers who collaborate over the Internet. The software behind a majority of all the world's web sites doesn't come from a big company either, but from a loosely coordinated group of volunteer programmers called the Apache Group. The Internet itself, and much of its core software, was developed through a process of networked collaboration." "This book starts out with A Brief History of Hackerdom - the historical roots of the open-source movement - and details the events that led to the recognition of the power of open source. It contains the full text of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, updated and expanded for this book, plus Mr. Raymond's other key essays on the social and economic dynamics of open-source software development." "Open source is the competitive advantage in the Internet Age. The Cathedral and the Bazaar is a must read for anyone who cares about the computer industry or the dynamics of the information economy. Already, billions of dollars have been made and lost based on the ideas in this book. Its conclusions will be studied, debated, and implemented for years to come."--BOOK JACKET.

An Adaptive Two-Level Method for the Coupling of Nonlinear FEM-BEM Equations
Authors: Patrick Mund, Ernst P. Stephan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

In this paper an a posteriori error estimate for nonlinear coupled FEM-BEM equations is derived by using hierarchical basis techniques. Based on the properties of two-level additive Schwarz operators for (linearized) differential equations and weakly singular integral equations, easily computable local error indicators are obtained. An algorithm for adaptive error control which allows independent refinements of the finite elements and the boundary elements is formulated and numerical results for the linear and nonlinear case are included.

On designing and implementing a collaborative system using the distributed-object model of Java-RMI
Authors: R. R. Raje, S. Mukhopadhyay, M. Boyles, N. Patel, A. Papiez, J. Mostafa
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

As we enter the 21st century, our dependency on the Internet is going to increase each day. This observation has inspired many researchers to invest their efforts into the development of efficient Web-based computing paradigms. Java-RMI is one alternative offered by Sun Microsystems. Using Java-RMI, a software developer can easily design and develop collaborative systems. In this article, we describe the use of Java-RMI in designing a collaborative information classifier, called D-SIFTER. We also present the principles of RMI, the details of our prototype, and some of the results from the preliminary experiments with it

Infrastructure & operations: more storage software in store
Authors: John P. Desmond
Venue: Software Magazine (2002)

The growth of the Internet and e-business has led to dramatic growth in storage hardware and software markets in recent years. Worldwide spending on storage services is projected to reach $40.4 billion in 2003, up from $29.2 billion in 2001, according to International Data Corp. (IDC), Framingham, Mass. IDC also projects spending on storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) devices to grow from $2 billion in 1999 to $16 billion in 2002.
Markov Chain Algorithms for Planar Lattice Structures
Authors: Michael Luby, Dana Randall, Alistair Sinclair
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

Consider the following Markov chain, whose states are all domino tilings of a 2n&times; 2n chessboard: starting from some arbitrary tiling, pick a 2&times;2 window uniformly at random. If the four squares appearing in this window are covered by two parallel dominoes, rotate the dominoes $90^{\rm o}$ in place. Repeat many times. This process is used in practice to generate a random tiling and is a widely used tool in the study of the combinatorics of tilings and the behavior of dimer systems in statistical physics. Analogous Markov chains are used to randomly generate other structures on various two-dimensional lattices. This paper presents techniques which prove for the first time that, in many interesting cases, a small number of random moves suffice to obtain a uniform distribution.
Precise response time analysis for Ravenscar kernels
Authors: Juan Zamorano, Juan Antonio de la Puente
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2002)

The Ravenscar Profile defines a subset of the Ada95 tasking constructs which can be implemented using a small, reliable kernel. One of the benefits of this approach is to improve the timing analysis because non-deterministic and non-analyzable features are excluded. But to perform a precise schedulability analysis of a Ravenscar compliant application, the kernel overheads must be taken into account. Therefore, a set of metrics and documentation requirements has to be defined in order to model the kernel influence in response time analysis. In this paper the main components of the response time of periodic and sporadic tasks running on a Ravenscar kernel are identified, and the set of kernel metrics which are required to perform a precise timing analysis is identified.

A Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for KdV Type Equations
Authors: Jue Yan, Chi-Wang Shu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In this paper we develop a local discontinuous Galerkin method for solving KdV type equations containing third derivative terms in one and two space dimensions. The method is based on the framework of the discontinuous Galerkin method for conservation laws and the local discontinuous Galerkin method for viscous equations containing second derivatives; however, the guiding principle for intercell fluxes and nonlinear stability is new. We prove L2 stability and a cell entropy inequality for the square entropy for a class of nonlinear PDEs of this type in both one and multiple space dimensions, and we give an error estimate for the linear cases in the one-dimensional case. The stability result holds in the limit case when the coefficients to the third derivative terms vanish; hence the method is especially suitable for problems which are "convection dominated," i.e., those with small second and third derivative terms. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the capability of this method. The method has the usual advantage of local discontinuous Galerkin methods, namely, it is extremely local and hence efficient for parallel implementations and easy for h-p adaptivity.
In Athena's Camp
Authors: John Arquilla
Venue:  (1998)

:We have been posing our ideas about conflict in the information age for some years now, beginning in 1991 with our original ruminations about cyberwar, then about netwar, and lately about information strategy. With each step, we have kept returning to a favorite set of themes organization is as crucial as technology in understanding the information revolution; this revolution is giving rise to network forms of organization; and the rise of networks will continue to accrue power to nonstate actors, more than to states, until states adapt by learning to remold their hierarchies into hybrids that incorporate network design elements. Meanwhile, we have kept our eyes on emerging trends in conflict from the end of the Persian Gulf War, through recent developments in places like Chechnya and Chiapas to further our understanding that the context and conduct of conflict is changing from one end of the spectrum to the other. New modes of war, terrorism, crime, and even radical activism are all these emerging from similar information-age dynamics? If so, what is the best preparation for responding to such modes? When the subject is warfare, for example, it is common wisdom that militaries tend to prepare for the last war, and there is much historical evidence to support this notion. Today, however, it is clear that defense establishments around the world and especially in the United States are thinking about how war will change, how the revolution in military affairs (RMA) will unfold, and how the next war may well be quite different from the last. Whether the focus is warfare, terrorism, crime, or social conflict, we have striven to anticipate what the spectrum of future wars and other typesof conflicts will look like. If our approach proves correct, then perhaps this volume can help defense planners prepare for the next war instead of the last. We hope that our own and our contributors' views are largely correct, and that our collective insights will prove useful to those, both civilians and military personnel, who are entrusted with developing and implementing national security strategy. We also hope that the studies in this volume are clear and compelling enough to attract a broad, general readership, since, without greater public understanding and support, all efforts to prepare effectively for conflict in the information age could go astray. The preparation of this volume has been supported by RAND and by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) and was carried out in the Acquisition Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the defense agencies.
Mechanisms for effective caching in the Globe location service
Authors: Aline Baggio, Gerco Ballintijn, Maarten van Steen
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

Globe is a wide-area distributed system that supports mobile objects. To track and locate objects, we use a worldwide distributed location service, implemented as a search tree.An object registers its current position by storing its address in a nearby leaf node of the tree. This knowledge propagates up to the top of the tree, so every object can be found from the root. Remote objects can cache the location of an object. However, if the object moves, the cache entry is no longer valid.In this paper, we show how caching can be made to work effectively even in the presence of mobile objects.
