A Preconditioner for the Steady-State Navier--Stokes Equations
Authors: David Kay, Daniel Loghin, Andrew Wathen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

We present a new method for solving the sparse linear system of equations arising from the discretization of the linearized steady-state Navier--Stokes equations (also known as the Oseen equations). The solver is an iterative method of Krylov subspace type for which we devise a preconditioner through a heuristic argument based on the fundamental solution tensor for the Oseen operator. The preconditioner may also be conceived through a weaker heuristic argument involving differential operators. Computations indicate that convergence for the preconditioned discrete Oseen problem is only mildly dependent on the viscosity (inverse Reynolds number) and, most importantly, that the number of iterations does not grow as the mesh size is reduced. Indeed, since the preconditioner is motivated through analysis of continuous operators, the number of iterations decreases for smaller mesh size which accords with better approximation of these operators.

An Enhanced Technique for k-Nearest Neighbor Queries with Non-Spatial Selection Predicates
Authors: Dong-Joo Park, Hyoung-Joo Kim
Venue: Multimedia Tools and Applications (2003)

In multimedia databases, k-nearest neighbor queries are popular and frequently contain non-spatial predicates. Among the available techniques for such queries, the incremental nearest neighbor algorithm proposed by Hjaltason and Samet is known as the most useful algorithm [16]. The reason is that if k&prime; > k neighbors are needed, it can provide the next neighbor for the upper operator without restarting the query from scratch. However, the R-tree in their algorithm has no facility capable of partially pruning tuple candidates that will turn out not to satisfy the remaining predicates, leading their algorithm to inefficiency. In this paper, we propose an RS-tree-based incremental nearest neighbor algorithm complementary to their algorithm. The RS-tree used in our algorithm is a hybrid of the R-tree and the S-tree, as its buddy tree, based on the hierarchical signature file. Experimental results show that our RS-tree enhances the performance of Hjaltason and Samet&apos;s algorithm.

Towards a formalization for COM part i: the primitive calculus
Authors: Riccardo Pucella
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

We introduce in this paper a typed calculus intended to capture the execution model of COM. The innovation of this calculus is to model very low-level aspects of the COM framework, specifically the notion of interface pointers. This is handled by specifying an allocation semantics for the calculus, thereby modeling heap allocation of interfaces explicitly. Having an explicit way of talking about interface pointers allows us to model in a reasonable way the notions of interface sharing and object identity. We introduce a type system that can be used to disambiguate between specification and implementation of interfaces. The type system moreover can capture a notion of COM conformance, that is, the legality of COM components. We discuss extensions of the calculus to handle subtyping of interfaces, dynamic interface negotiation and aggregation.
Book Reviews
Authors: R. Bruce Kellogg
Venue: SIAM Review (2000)

The term "wavelet" ("ondelette" in French) was coined in the mid-1980s, when wide interest in wavelets first erupted. Since then, both theory and applications of wavelets have flourished and expanded. As a result, many books on the subject have appeared, with many different points of view. To help bring order to this plethora of offerings, John Benedetto discusses 10 recent books of interest to SIAM Review readers. He opens with a brief survey of the "prehistory" of wavelets (before they were named), including developments in mathematics as well as in image and speech processing. This Featured Review, which covers some major new works, will help to orient researchers to the literature in this field.

The New, New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story
Authors: Michael Lewis
Venue:  (1999)

:Michael Lewis sets out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world's most important technology entrepreneur, the true representative of the coming age. All roads lead to a man who is about to achieve an unprecedented hat trick with the creation of his third, separate, billion-dollar company: first Silicon Graphics, then Netscape - which launched the Information Age - and now Healtheon, a startup that may turn the $1.5 trillion health-care industry on its head.. "Despite the variety of his achievements, this guy, Jim Clark, thinks of himself mainly as the creator of Hyperion, which happens to be a sailboat ... not just an ordinary yacht, but the world's largest single-mast vessel, a machine more complex than a 747. Whatever the next new new thing after Healtheon turns out to be, Michael Lewis is invited to be a fly on the wall aboard Hyperion as the shape of the future is revealed.. "We get the inside story of the battle between Netscape and Microsoft; we sit in the room as Healtheon management pitches the investment bankers on the idea that Healtheon is the next Microsoft; we get queasy as the great boat sets out into the rage of the North Atlantic in winter.. "The New New Thing describes a vast paradigm shift in American culture: a shift away from conventional business models and definitions of success, and toward a new way of thinking about the world and our control over it.
Searching games with errors---fifty years of coping with liars
Authors: Andrzej Pelc
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This is a survey on searching with errors, considered in the framework of two-person games. The Responder thinks of an object in the search space, and the Questioner has to find it by asking questions to which the Responder provides answers, some of which are erroneous. We give a taxonomy of such games, depending on the type of questions allowed, on the degree of interactivity between the players, and on the imposed limitations on errors. We survey the existing results concerning such games, concentrating on the issue of optimizing the Questioner's querying strategy, and pointing out open problems. We show the relations between searching games with errors and problems concerning communication through a noisy channel and error-correcting codes. Finally, we discuss other search and computation problems with faulty feedback which are related to searching with errors

A multilayer personality model
Authors: Sumedha Kshirsagar
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

Virtual humans have been the focus of computer graphics research for several years now. The amalgamation of computer graphics and artificial intelligence has lead to the possibility of creating believable virtual personalities. The focus has shifted from modeling and animation towards imparting personalities to virtual humans. The aim is to create virtual humans that can interact spontaneously using a natural language, emotions and gestures. This paper discusses a system that allows the design of personality for emotional virtual human. We adopt the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality from psychology studies. To realize the model, we use Bayesian Belief Network. We introduce a layered approach for modeling personality, moods and emotions. In order to demonstrate a virtual human with emotional personality, we integrate the system into a chat application. Thus, the system enables the developer to design and implement personalities and enables the user to interact with them.
