Geometry and Optimization Techniques for Structural Design
Authors: S. Kodiyalam
Venue:  (1993)

:The emergence of modern solid modeling systems and geometry-based applications such as automatic mesh generation techniques has led the design community to focus their efforts on exploiting these relatively new technologies for the optimal design of structures. In addition, the use of formal optimization methods in multidisciplinary systems has emerged as a major area of research interest, primarily due to an increased awareness of the potential gains from the use of these methods in realistic design problems. Much of the literature on the key technologies of geometry modeling, optimization and CAD applications is narrowed on a particular technology and does not take a broader perspective of the entire design process. This book represents the first attempt to expose the CAD community to the various islands of technology that constitute the design process. The purpose of this book is to provide the design community with a comprehensive approach to structural design which includes geometry representation for structural domains, automated techniques for finite element modeling, coupling self-adaptive techniques with finite element models, optimization, design sensitivity analysis, and integration of optimization techniques with geometry models for a fully automated structural design system. This book also addresses other real world design situations related to approximation concepts for computational efficiency and multicriterion and multidisciplinary structural design optimization. In selecting the chapters in this book, the aim has been to present the state-of-the-art in various key technologies required for the automation of multidisciplinary design. The organization of the chapters is in-line with the actual design methodology which extends from computer representation of the domain to the multicriterion, multidisciplinary design through automatic mesh generation, coupled self-adaptive analysis, and shape optimization.

Iterative Stokes solvers in the harmonic Velte subspace
Venue: Computing (2001)

We explore the prospects of utilizing the decomposition of the function space (Ho)' (where n = 2, 3) into three orthogonal subspaces (as introduced by Velte) for the iterative solution of the Stokes -problem It is shown that Uzawa and Arrow-Hurwitz iterations - after at most two initial steps - can proceed fully in the third, smallest subspace. For both methods, we also compute optimal iteration parameters Here, for two-dimensional problems, the lower estimate of the inf-sup constant by Horgan and Payne proves useful and provides an inclusion of the spectrum of the Schur complement operator of the Stokes problem. We further consider the conjugate gradient method in the third Velte subspace and derive a corresponding convergence estimate. Computational results show the effectiveness of this approach for discretizations which admit a discrete Velte decomposition.

CREAM: creating relational metadata with a component-based, ontology-driven annotation framework
Authors: Siegfried Handschuh, Steffen Staab, Alexander Maedche
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Knowledge capture (2001)

Richly interlinked, machine-understandable data constitutes the basis for the Semantic Web. Annotating web documents is one of the major techniques for creating metadata on the Web. However, annotation tools so far are restricted in their capabilities of providing richly interlinked and truely machine-understandable data. They basically allow the user to annotate with plain text according to a template structure, such as Dublin Core. We here present CREAM (Creating RElational, Annotation-based Metadata), a framework for an annotation environment that allows to construct relational metadata, i.e. metadata that comprises class instances and relationship instances. These instances are not based on a fix structure, but on a domain ontology. We discuss some of the requirements one has to meet when developing such a framework, e.g. the integration of a metadata crawler, inference services, document management and information extraction, and describe its implementation, viz. Ont-O-Mat a component-based, ontology-driven annotation tool.

An indexed model of recursive types for foundational proof-carrying code
Authors: Andrew W. Appel, David McAllester
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2001)

The proofs of "traditional" proof carrying code (PCC) are type-specialized in the sense that they require axioms about a specific type system. In contrast, the proofs of foundational PCC explicitly define all required types and explicitly prove all the required properties of those types assuming only a fixed foundation of mathematics such as higher-order logic. Foundational PCC is both more flexible and more secure than type-specialized PCC.For foundational PCC we need semantic models of type systems on von Neumann machines. Previous models have been either too weak (lacking general recursive types and first-class function-pointers), too complex (requiring machine-checkable proofs of large bodies of computability theory), or not obviously applicable to von Neumann machines. Our new model is strong, simple, and works either in &lambda;-calculus or on Pentiums.

A geolibrary for multimedia data sets: design and implementation issues
Authors: Cláudio S. Baptista
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper describes the design and implementation issues of the STepLib geolibrary. STepLib aims to manipulate both spatiotemporal and multimedia data. Currently, the STepLib model supports maps, still images, video, audio and documents, as first class objects. This allows not only for the support of storage and presentation capabilities, but also for indexing and searching of these complex data types. Metadata are used in the model to represent semantic abstraction of the underlying geo-objects, based on different layers of abstraction. Spatiotemporal operations are performed at various levels, and data type specific operations are available for improving searching on multimedia data.

Spatial Size Distributions: Applications to Shape and Texture Analysis
Authors: Guillermo Ayala, Juan Domingo
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2001)

This paper proposes new descriptors for binary and gray-scale images based on newly defined spatial size distributions(SSD). The main idea consists of combining a granulometric analysis of the image with a comparison between the geometric covariograms for binary images or the auto-correlation function for gray-scale images of the original image and its granulometric transformation; the usual granulometric size distribution then arises as a particular case of this formulation. Examples are given to show that in those cases in which a finer description of the image is required, the more complex descriptors generated from the SSD could be advantageously used. It is also shown that the new descriptors are probability distributions so their intuitive interpretation and properties can be appropriately studied from the probabilistic point of view. The usefulness of these descriptors in shape analysis is illustrated by some synthetic examples and their use in texture analysis is studied by doing an experiment of texture classification on a standard texture database. A comparison is perfomed among various cases of the SSD and several former methods for texture classification in terms of percentages of correct classification and the number of features used.
