A case for using MPI's derived datatypes to improve I/O performance
Authors: Rajeev Thakur, William Gropp, Ewing Lusk
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

MPI-IO, the I/O part of the MPI-2 standard, is a promising new interface for parallel I/O. A key feature of MPI-IO is that it allows users to access several noncontiguous pieces of data from a file with a single I/O function call by defining file views with derived datatypes. We explain how critical this feature is for high performance, why users must create and use derived datatypes whenever possible, and how it enables implementations to perform optimizations. In particular, we describe two optimizations our MPI-IO implementation, ROMIO, performs: data sieving and collective I/O. We demonstrate the performance and portability of the approach with performance results on five different parallel machines: HP Exemplar, IBM SP, Intel Paragon, NEC SX-4, and SGI Origin2000.
Wireless Telecommunications FAQs
Authors: Clint Smith
Venue:  (2000)

:Wireless Telecom FAQs supplies a balanced overview of every aspect of wireless telecommunications, including technologies, network systems, radio systems, implementation, real estate, RF, filters, antennas, design guidelines, traffic engineering, performance, and more. This is the only wireless book in a FAQ format, and deals in technology and networking specifics. The text provides a single source of answers to the hundreds of frequently asked questions that baffle newcomers and seasoned pros alike. Examples from the book. FAQ. What types of signals are used for PSTN connections? A. Types of signaling or address signaling normally available to a wireless operator are:Dial pulseDMFT (touch tone)Multifrequency -- MFC R1Multifrequency compelled -- MFC R2Common Channel Signaling (CCS7 and SS7) FAQ. What is the difference between wireline and non-wireline carriers? A. A wireline carrier has traditionally been a particular regional Bell operating company (RBOC) or a generic "telephone company." Corporate and technological convergence have somewhat blurred the distinction between wireline and non-wireline carriers, though, so now wireline often refers to a market's B-band operator. For example, at this time Bell Atlantic operates an A-band while SNET operates the B-band systems, so the wireline operator is SNET, while the non-wireline operator is Bell Atlantic.
Completeness of type assignment systems with intersection, union, and type quantifiers
Authors: Hirofumi Yokouchi
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This paper develops type assignment systems with intersection and union types, and type quantifiers. We show that the known system for these types is not semantically complete. However, the following two hold for a certain class of typing statements, called stable statements, which include all statements without type quantifier: (1) the validity of stable statements for Kripke models is equivalent to that for standard models, (2) if we add two axioms expressing the distributive laws of intersection over union and existential-type quantifier, then the resulting system is complete for Kripke models. As a consequence, the known system with the axioms for distributive laws is complete for standard models if we restrict statements to stable ones. All the results are obtained in a systematic way with sequent-style formulations of type assignment and the cut-elimination property for them.

The stable paths problem and interdomain routing
Authors: Timothy G. Griffin, F. Bruce Shepherd, Gordon Wilfong
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2002)

Dynamic routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF essentially implement distributed algorithms for solving the shortest paths problem. The border gateway protocol (BGP) is currently the only interdomain routing protocol deployed in the Internet. BGP does not solve a shortest paths problem since any interdomain protocol is required to allow policy-based metrics to override distance-based metrics and enable autonomous systems to independently define their routing policies with little or no global coordination. It is then natural to ask if BGP can be viewed as a distributed algorithm for solving some fundamental problem. We introduce the stable paths problem and show that BGP can be viewed as a distributed algorithm for solving this problem. Unlike a shortest path tree, such a solution does not represent a global optimum, but rather an equilibrium point in which each node is assigned its local optimum.We study the stable paths problem using a derived structure called a dispute wheel, representing conflicting routing policies at various nodes. We show that if no dispute wheel can be constructed, then there exists a unique solution for the stable paths problem. We define the simple path-vector protocol (SPVP), a distributed algorithm for solving the stable paths problem. SPVP is intended to capture the dynamic behavior of BGP at an abstract level. If SPVP converges, then the resulting state corresponds to a stable paths solution. If there is no solution, then SPVP always diverges. In fact, SPVP can even diverge when a solution exists. We show that SPVP will converge to the unique solution of an instance of the stable paths problem if no dispute wheel exists.
A novel scheme using the information of departure processes for delay guarantees of distributed VBR traffic
Authors: Zhi-Ren Chang, I-Chung Lee, Cheng-Shang Chang, Chien-Hsin Li, Ben-Li Sui
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

In this paper, we consider the problem of providing delay guarantees in a distributed environment, e.g., a wireless network or a cable network. In a distributed environment, the information of the arrival process is, in general, not available to the network. Due to the lack of such information, traffic regulators and scheduling policies discussed in the literature cannot be directly applied. To cope with the problem, we propose a distributed traffic regulator (DTR) that uses the information of the departure process. Based on such DTRs, we propose the distributed earliest deadline first (DEDF) scheduling policy. For the DEDF scheme, we derive an admission-control criterion and show that the maximum delay can be guaranteed if the criterion is satisfied.

E-privacy in 2nd generation E-commerce: privacy preferences versus actual behavior
Authors: Sarah Spiekermann, Jens Grossklags, Bettina Berendt
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM conference on Electronic Commerce (2001)

As electronic commerce environments become more and more interactive, privacy is a matter of increasing concern. Many surveys have investigated households' privacy attitudes and concerns, revealing a general desire among Internet users to protect their privacy. To complement these questionnaire-based studies, we conducted an experiment in which we compared self-reported privacy preferences of 171 participants with their actual disclosing behavior during an online shopping episode. Our results suggest that current approaches to protect online users' privacy, such as EU data protection regulation or P3P, may face difficulties to do so effectively. This is due to their underlying assumption that people are not only privacy conscious, but will also act accordingly. In our study, most individuals stated that privacy was important to them, with concern centering on the disclosure of different aspects of personal information. However, regardless of their specific privacy concerns, most participants did not live up to their self-reported privacy preferences. As participants were drawn into the sales dialogue with an anthropomorphic 3-D shopping bot, they answered a majority of questions, even if these were highly personal. Moreover, different privacy statements had no effect on the amount of information disclosed; in fact, the mentioning of EU regulation seemed to cause a feeling of 'false security'. The results suggest that people appreciate highly communicative EC environments and forget privacy concerns once they are 'inside the Web'.
Focus plus context screens: combining display technology with visualization techniques
Authors: Patrick Baudisch, Nathaniel Good, Paul Stewart
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

Computer users working with large visual documents, such as large layouts, blueprints, or maps perform tasks that require them to simultaneously access overview information while working on details. To avoid the need for zooming, users currently have to choose between using a sufficiently large screen or applying appropriate visualization techniques. Currently available hi-res "wall-size" screens, however, are cost-intensive, space-intensive, or both. Visualization techniques allow the user to more efficiently use the given screen space, but in exchange they either require the user to switch between multiple views or they introduce distortion.In this paper, we present a novel approach to simultaneously display focus and context information. Focus plus context screens consist of a hi-res display and a larger low-res display. Image content is displayed such that the scaling of the display content is preserved, while its resolution may vary according to which display region it is displayed in. Focus plus context screens are applicable to practically all tasks that currently use overviews or fisheye views, but unlike these visualization techniques, focus plus context screens provide a single, non-distorted view. We present a prototype that seamlessly integrates an LCD with a projection screen and demonstrate four applications that we have adapted so far.

A specification language for one-pass semantic analysis
Authors: Kai Koskimies
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (1984)

A new language is introduced for the specification of semantic analysis of programming languages. The language is based on the concept of one-pass attribute grammars. Various extensions of this basic formalism are incorporated in the language, including disciplined global variables, facilities for symbol processing, and features supporting semantic error detection and recovery. To encourage the writing of declarative specifications the language is nonterminal-oriented, in contrast to the production-oriented languages traditionally used in compiler writing systems.

Evaluating the novelty of text-mined rules using lexical knowledge
Authors: Sugato Basu, Raymond J. Mooney, Krupakar V. Pasupuleti, Joydeep Ghosh
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

In this paper, we present a new method of estimating the novelty of rules discovered by data-mining methods using WordNet, a lexical knowledge-base of English words. We assess the novelty of a rule by the average semantic distance in a knowledge hierarchy between the words in the antecedent and the consequent of the rule - the more the average distance, more is the novelty of the rule. The novelty of rules extracted by the DiscoTEX text-mining system on Amazon.com book descriptions were evaluated by both human subjects and by our algorithm. By computing correlation coefficients between pairs of human ratings and between human and automatic ratings, we found that the automatic scoring of rules based on our novelty measure correlates with human judgments about as well as human judgments correlate with one another. @Text mining

The efficient computation of certain determinants arising in the treatment of Schr&ouml;dinger's equations
Authors: W. Hackbusch
Venue: Computing (2001)

The solution of Schr&ouml;dinger's equation leads to a high number N of independent variables. Furthermore, the restriction to (anti)symmetric functions implies some complications. We propose a sparse-grid approximation which leads to a set of non-orthogonal basis. Due to the antisymmetry, scalar products are expressed by sums of N &times; N-determinants. Because of the sparsity of the sparse-grid approximation, these determinants can be reduced from N &times; N to K &times; K.
A checkpoint-based high availability run-time system for Windows NT clusters
Authors: Zhang Youhui, Wang Dongsheng
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2002)

This paper presents a high availability run-time system----ChaRM-NT, a Checkpoint-based Rollback recovery system for parallel applications on a cluster of computers (COCs) based on Windows NT. ChaRM-NT implements an insert-mode, reduced coordinated checkpointing and rollback recovery (CRR) mechanism. Owing to the above techniques, ChaRM-NT can recover parallel applications from the checkpointing file upon system failures. In addition we have implemented a new coordinated checkpointing algorithm that only requires O(n) control messages where n is the number of participating processes. Independent on message passing environments (MPEs) ChaRM-NT implements a portable single process CRR library. Therefore it is very easy to adapt to different MPEs and it supports PVM and MPI for NT now.
