Modular mixin-based inheritance for application frameworks
Authors: Dominic Duggan, Ching-Ching Techaubol
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2001)

Mixin modules are proposed as an extension of a class-based programming language. Mixin modules combine parallel extension of classes, including extension of the self types for those classes, with mixin-based inheritance. For soundness of sybtyping purposes, they require an explicit distinction between mixin-based objects and class-based objects. Applications of mixin modules are in statically type-safe monad-based aspect-oriented programming, and in modular mixin-based Internet programming.

Applications of generalized support vector machines to predictive modeling
Authors: Nitin Agrarwal
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

The work of the Russian mathematician Vladimir Vapnik (AT&T Labs) enables us to go back to the roots of theoretical statistics, leaving behind Fisher's parameters in favor of the general approaches started in the 1930s by Glivenko-Cantelli-Kolmogorov. Nowadays, it has become possible to model millions of events described by thousands of variables, within a reasonable time for a specific application. The SRM approach works with a family of models and calibrates the family of models to a point which is the best compromise between accuracy and robustness. It also measures the complexity of the model using VC dimension which is not plagued by number of parameters. Hence models for large events described by several parameters can be generalized. This opens up great prospects in numerous fields like Customer Relationship Management, Network Optimization, Risk Management, Manufacturing Yield Management, and a number of other data-rich problems.

What does faculty really want from information technology?
Authors: Jerry Martin
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

It is always a good idea to keep in touch with the needs of our faculty, but it is also very expensive and time consuming to conduct a survey. Recently, I went searching to see what recent faculty surveys have been conducted at other universities. Evaluating the results from several faculty surveys with IT questions from 1998 to 2000, I found many common needs expressed. Supporting data will be the links to the web sites I used to gather the information. These include, in most cases, the type of questions asked as well as the summary data common among many of the surveys.The major topics addressed will be:Where is the faculty now on the learning curve of information technology (IT) applications? (What are they really using?)What do they see as the highest priorities for IT to address?What are the biggest barriers for them to overcome in order to effectively use IT?What is their preferred learning method?.

Bipartite graph partitioning and data clustering
Authors: Hongyuan Zha, Xiaofeng He, Chris Ding, Horst Simon, Ming Gu
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Many data types arising from data mining applications can be modeled as bipartite graphs, examples include terms and documents in a text corpus, customers and purchasing items in market basket analysis and reviewers and movies in a movie recommender system. In this paper, we propose a new data clustering method based on partitioning the underlying bipartite graph. The partition is constructed by minimizing a normalized sum of edge weights between unmatched pairs of vertices of the bipartite graph. We show that an approximate solution to the minimization problem can be obtained by computing a partial singular value decomposition (SVD) of the associated edge weight matrix of the bipartite graph. We point out the connection of our clustering algorithm to correspondence analysis used in multivariate analysis. We also briefly discuss the issue of assigning data objects to multiple clusters. In the experimental results, we apply our clustering algorithm to the problem of document clustering to illustrate its effectiveness and efficiency.

Real Time: Preparing for the Age of the Never Satisfied Customer
Authors: Regis McKenna
Venue:  (1997)

:From the author of Relationship Marketing comes a provocative book on doing business in a real time world-one in which time and distance vanish, action and response are simultaneous, and customers demand instant gratification...or else. Technology is continually transforming our existence in profound ways; and the pace of change is speeding up, not slowing down: we get cash in seconds at ATMs, we watch wars unfold instantaneously on live television. Almost all technology today compresses to zero the time needed to acquire and use information, to make decisions and initiate actions, to deploy resources and innovate. What does all this mean to the creators and managers who want to lead their organizations successfully in the real time world? Above all, says McKenna, management must be prepared for the eventuality of anything-anytime, anywhere, and in-your-face. The companies best equipped for the twenty-first century are seizing the opportunities that our real time reality presents. Their leaders understand that real time means exceptional responsiveness to customer expectations and ongoing adjustments to deliver. Fresh with stories from McKenna's own experience as entrepreneur and consultant to the world's most influential leaders, Real time will move readers to think in new ways, act with lightning speed, and break sound barriers of innovation. A Business Week Bestseller. "A magnificent tour through an exciting if uncertain future in which everybody's connected to everybody."--The Wall Street Journal "McKenna has written a manifesto for marketers, customer-service employees and managers in general.

Bridging the bandwidth gap: measures to maintain bandwidth availability
Authors: Cynthia A. Murnan
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

With ever-increasing bandwidth requirements due to bandwidth-intensive applications such as Napster, Gnutella, Audiogalaxy, various Internet games and so forth, we were faced with determining how to bridge the gap between the amount of bandwidth we provided to our clients and the amount our clients consumed in meeting their individual needs and desires.This paper will provide details on the issues we confronted in using a bandwidth-shaping tool and in deciding to increase our total amount of bandwidth. This paper will also discuss the factors we dealt with in developing an overarching policy for handling network usage.
Co-evolving an effective fitness sample: experiments in symbolic regression and distributed robot control
Authors: Brad Dolin, Forrest H Bennett,  III, Eleanor G. Rieffel
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We investigate two techniques for co-evolving and sampling from a population of fitness cases, and compare these with a random sampling technique. We design three symbolic regression problems on which to test these techniques, and also measure their relative performance on a modular robot control problem. The methods have varying relative performance, but in all of our experiments, at least one of the co-evolutionary methods outperforms the random sampling method by guiding evolution, with substantially fewer fitness evaluations, toward solutions that generalize best on an out-of-sample test set.
Predicting zero coefficients in formal power series computations
Authors: K. Kalorkoti
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

We consider the problem of predicting long sequences of zero coefficients in a power series obtained by multiplication, division or reversion (where all coefficients are integers). We describe efficient randomized algorithms whose probability of error can be controlled by the user. A runtime analysis is given and some experimental results are also presented that compare our algorithms with classical ones for formal power series computations. We envisage the algorithms given here as being of greatest use in situations where several processors are available so that the possibility of a long sequence of zeros can be tested in parallel to the normal computation of coefficients.

Experiments with the peripheral virtual component interface
Authors: Roman L. Lysecky, Frank Vahid, Tony D. Givargis
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

The Peripheral Virtual Component Interface, or PVCI, is a standard intended to simplify the interfacing of peripheral cores to on-chip buses in a system-on-a-chip, by standardizing the interface between a core's internals and its bus wrapper. We provide results of experiments intended to determine the power, performance, and size overhead associated with using a PVCI bus wrapper versus using a non-PVCI bus wrapper, and versus using no bus wrapper at all. The results demonstrate that using a bus wrapper may result in only small performance, power and size overhead versus using no wrapper, though even that performance overhead can be reduced or eliminated using pre-fetching. The results also demonstrate that using a PVCI bus wrapper yields no significant additional power, performance or size overhead compared with a non-PVCI bus wrapper.
Logics with aggregate operators
Authors: Lauri Hella, Leonid Libkin, Juha Nurmonen, Limsoon Wong
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2001)

We study adding aggregate operators, such as summing up elements of a column of a relation, to logics with counting mechanisms. The primary motivation comes from database applications, where aggregate operators are present in all real life query languages. Unlike other features of query languages, aggregates are not adequately captured by the existing logical formalisms. Consequently, all previous approaches to analyzing the expressive power of aggregation were only capable of producing partial results, depending on the allowed class of aggregate and arithmetic operations.We consider a powerful counting logic, and extend it with the set of all aggregate operators. We show that the resulting logic satisfies analogs of Hanf's and Gaifman's theorems, meaning that it can only express local properties. We consider a database query language that expresses all the standard aggregates found in commercial query languages, and show how it can be translated into the aggregate logic, thereby providing a number of expressivity bounds, that do not depend on a particular class of arithmetic functions, and that subsume all those previously known. We consider a restricted aggregate logic that gives us a tighter capture of database languages, and also use it to show that some questions on expressivity of aggregation cannot be answered without resolving some deep problems in complexity theory.
