An algebraic approach to test data generation
Authors: A. Brown
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

In this paper the Test Data Generation problem is considered from the point of view of symbolic logic i.e., Boolean algebra. Essentially, the problem is the determination of various transfer functions describing the behavior of the network under test. This can be done by solving a corresponding system of Boolean equations using straight forward and easily understood algebriac techniques.This algebraic approach is enhanced significantly by the use of the novel concepts of logic flowgraphs and variational derivatives. Logic flowgraphs are a particular application of flowgraphs extending to logic networks the signal flow theory and other graphical concepts which have been successfully applied elsewhere. The logic flowgraph results in a visualization and a mechanization of the algebraic approach not evident from other approaches. Indeed it provides a schedule (an ordering relative to precedence) for the above mentioned substitional process.The variational derivative concept, characterizing transitions in a network, is ultimately related to fault detection and is, in effect, an algebraic generalization of the star-product and d-cube concepts of Roth. In fact, the concept provides a concise algebraic means of describing the responses (R (Lt ; Lt-1 )) and (R' (Lt ; Lt-1 ;X)) mentioned above by Mr. Krosner.We will demonstrate the usefulness of these concepts by the analysis of the illustrative examples in figures (1), (2), and (3). Experience has shown that they provide a very general framework from which the broad spectrum of more practical and specialized techniques can be more readily understood.A more extensive and detailed account of the concepts and techniques briefly mentioned here can be found in Reference 1.

Mentoring mathematics faculty: a model
Authors: Tena Long Golding, Elizabeth D. Gray
Venue: PRIMUS: problems, resources, and issues in mathematics undergraduate studies (2002)

Because mathematics departments are called on to train future mathematics teachers, efforts to redesign mathematics courses for teacher preparation are surfacing in most mathematics departments. While it is imperative that these courses provide models of both good mathematics and good teaching, many university faculty lack the confidence and experience to provide both. This article describes a mentoring program that was used to train additional faculty to teach a new course in geometry for elementary education majors.
Social knowledge in multi-agent systems
Authors: Vladimír Mařík, Michal Pěchouček, Olga Štěpánková
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

The paper addresses the problems of efficient representation, maintenance and exploration of social knowledge enabling task decomposition, organization of negotiations, responsibility delegation and other ways of agents' social reasoning. We focus on multi-agent systems for integration of already existing software components. It is supposed that all the social knowledge is kept separated from both the problem solving knowledge and agents' specific internal intelligence and that it is organized and administered in the acquaintance models located in the agents' wrappers. A specific tri-base acquaintance model (3bA) is formalized and discussed throughout the paper. This model helps to optimize the communication traffic, to implement meta-reasoning processes and supports the machine learning activities. Several practical applications of the 3bA acquaintance model in different fields are presented and the acquired experience is discussed.
A pegging algorithm for the nonlinear resource allocation problem
Authors: Kurt M. Bretthauer, Bala Shetty
Venue: Computers and Operations Research (2002)

In this paper we present a new algorithm for solving the nonlinear resource allocation problem. The nonlinear resource allocation problem is defined as the minimization of a convex function over a single convex constraint and bounded integer variables. We first present a pegging algorithm for solving the continuous variable problem, and then incorporate the pegging method in a branch and bound algorithm for solving the integer variable problem. We compare the computational performance of the pegging branch and bound algorithm with three other methods: a multiplier search branch and bound algorithm, dynamic programming, and a 0,1 linearization method. The computational results demonstrate that the pegging branch and bound algorithm advances the state of the art in methods for solving the nonlinear resource allocation problem.

A branch-and-price algorithm for the Steiner tree packing problem
Authors: Gue-woong Jeong, Kyungsik Lee, Sungsoo Park, Kyungchul Park
Venue: Computers and Operations Research (2002)

This paper deals with the Steiner tree packing problem. For a given undirected graph G = (V, E) with positive integer capacities and non-negative weights on its edges, and a list of node sets (nets), the problem is to find a connection of nets which satisfies the edge capacity limits and minimizes the total weights. We focus on the switchbox routing problem in knock-knee model and formulate this problem as an integer programming using Steiner tree variables. We develop a branch-and-price algorithm. The algorithm is applied on some standard test instances and we compare the performances with the results using cutting-plane approach. Computational results show that our algorithm is competitive to the cutting plane algorithm presented by Grötschel et al. and can be used to solve practically sized problems.
Beginning JSP Web Development
Authors: Jayson Falkner, John Timney, Ben Galbraith
Venue:  (2001)

:The emergence of Java APIs for server-side development has led to a rapid and growing acceptance of Java in the enterprise. As a result, web developers are tasked with creating Java web applications that are informative and interactive. Java Server Pages (JSP) is a recent extension (currently at v1.0) to the Java platform that promises to become the standard tool for intranet and web application development. Java Server Pages allows developers to easily create dynamic, interactive web pages by embedding scripts directly into HTML and XML. These scripts make use of Java bean components. By separating presentation code from the generation of dynamic content, JSP also allows web designers to change the presentation of applications with minimal Java programming knowledge. Java Server Pages extend the functionality of web servers by performing server-side tasks such as HTML form processing, database queries, and report generation. Using Java Server Pages, developers can quickly create powerful intranet and web applications that incorporate enterprise resources such as databases, networked servers and distributed objects. JSP also offers numerous advantages over existing CGI scripting techniques, including portability, reusability, session tracking, performance, and ease of development.
On the power of locking
Authors: Christos H. Papadimitriou
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

We study the expressive power of locking primitives, as measured by ther ability to implement different concurrency control principles. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a concurrency control principle (abstractly, a set of histories) to be implementable by binary semaphores. Also, we characterize exactly those sets of locking primitives that are no more powerful than binary semaphores.
Decision Support for Managing an Electronic Supply Chain
Venue: Electronic Commerce Research (2001)

The growth of the Internet and electronic commerce opens new venues for companies to create flexible supply chains by offering high-speed communication and tight connectivity. To take full advantage of these new opportunities, companies need to be able to respond quickly to opportunities as they arise and make smart decisions taking into account the vast amount of data now available. We describe a decision support system which helps companies in making decisions about purchasing, manufacturing or promotions, while considering supplies and demands posted on the Internet, in addition to their own inventory, capacity and demand. The decision support system is currently being tested within an electronic marketplace we built for paper products, which went online in September 1999.
Modeling the collapse of coiled material
Authors: Patrick Smolinski, Craig S. Miller, Roy D. Marangoni, Dipo Onipede
Venue: Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (2002)

After processing many strip materials are wound or coiled. Winding the material on a mandrel under tension introduces residual stresses in the coil. These stresses and interlayer movement can lead to large deformation and collapse of the coil. Here a finite element analysis is used to examine the stresses and deformation in large coils. A nonlinear jointed material model is used to represent the interlayer sliding and opening. The analysis of coils under different boundary conditions shows that patterns of coil deformation resembling coil collapse can occur.

On a Class of Diffeomorphic Matching Problems in One Dimension
Authors: Alain Trouvé, Laurent Younes
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

We study a class of functional which can be used for matching objects which can be represented as mappings from a fixed interval, I, to some "feature space." This class of functionals corresponds to "elastic matching" in which a symmetry condition and a "focus invariance" are imposed. We provide sufficient conditions under which an optimal matching can be found between two such mappings, the optimal matching being a homeomorphism of the interval I. The differentiability of this matching is also studied, and an application to plane curve comparison is provided.

With these advances in first and second world nations, and slower introduction to the third world, an enlarging proportion of the world population is encountering computer based systems. This brings a changing basis of approach, as issues such as cultural, political and economic differences must be accommodated in ways that have not existed before. HCI researchers and practitioners have a responsibility to propose scientifically, socially and environmentally sustainable solutions that will help ease the burden that current new technologies impose on people and organisations. The goal must be to achieve benefit from technological advances, for it should match the skills, needs and expectations of the users of such technologies.
On the Quality of Service of Failure Detectors
Authors: Wei Chen, Sam Toueg, Marcos Kawazoe Aguilera
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

We study the quality of service (QoS) of failure detectors. By QoS, we mean a specification that quantifies 1) how fast the failure detector detects actual failures and 2) how well it avoids false detections. We first propose a set of QoS metrics to specify failure detectors for systems with probabilistic behaviors, i.e., for systems where message delays and message losses follow some probability distributions. We then give a new failure detector algorithm and analyze its QoS in terms of the proposed metrics. We show that, among a large class of failure detectors, the new algorithm is optimal with respect to some of these QoS metrics. Given a set of failure detector QoS requirements, we show how to compute the parameters of our algorithm so that it satisfies these requirements and we show how this can be done even if the probabilistic behavior of the system is not known. We then present some simulation results that show that the new failure detector algorithm provides a better QoS than an algorithm that is commonly used in practice. Finally, we suggest some ways to make our failure detector adaptive to changes in the probabilistic behavior of the network.
