A Decision Procedure for Unitary Linear Quantum Cellular Automata
Authors: Christoph Dürr, Miklos Santha
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

Linear quantum cellular automata were introduced recently as one of the models of quantum computing. A basic postulate of quantum mechanics imposes a strong constraint on any quantum machine: it has to be unitary; that is, its time evolution operator has to be a unitary transformation. In this paper we give an efficient algorithm to decide if a linear quantum cellular automaton is unitary. The complexity of the algorithm is O(n(3r-1)/(r+1)) = O(n3) in the algebraic computational model if the automaton has a continuous neighborhood of size r, where n is the size of the input.

Panasync: dependency tracking among file copies
Authors: Paulo Sérgio Almeida, Carlos Baquero, Victor Fonte
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

File copying is frequently used to implement ad hoc management of file replicas, backups and versions. Such tasks can be assisted by appropriate applications, at the expense of introducing some restrictions to the usage patterns. In particular, this is the case of interactions involving disconnected machines and transportable media. PANASYNC tries to support these actions by introducing a set of commands for file copying and re-integration that complement the file-system commands and provide support for dependency analysis among time-stamp assisted files.

A formal approach for specification and classification of software components
Authors: Sathit Nakkrasae, Peraphon Sophatsathit
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Software components have played an important role in modern software and system development. The main contribution of software component is reuse which, in essence, helps reduce development cost and time and increase productivity at the expense of usage problems. Typical component reuse problems are found in large software component repositories due to inefficient component look up and difficulty in furnishing a comprehensive description for component identification, specification, and classification. This paper presents a formal approach based on the well-established object-oriented paradigm to resolve the above difficulty. As each component is searched, an additional precaution is incorporated to ensure the correct result being retrieved. This extra step is known as software certification.
Mobile Robot Localization and Map Building: A Multisensor Fusion Approach
Authors: Jose A. Castellanos, Juan D. Tardos
Venue:  (2000)

:During the last decade, many researchers have dedicated their efforts to constructing revolutionary machines and to providing them with forms of artificial intelligence to perform some of the most hazardous, risky or monotonous tasks historically assigned to human beings. Among those machines, mobile robots are undoubtedly at the cutting edge of current research directions. A rough classification of mobile robots can be considered: on the one hand, mobile robots oriented to human-made indoor environments; on the other hand, mobile robots oriented to unstructured outdoor environments, which could include flying oriented robots, space-oriented robots and underwater robots. The most common motion mechanism for surface mobile robots is the wheel-based mechanism, adapted both to flat surfaces, found in human-made environments, and to rough terrain, found in outdoor environments. However, some researchers have reported successful developments with leg-based mobile robots capable of climbing up stairs, although they require further investigation. The research work presented here focuses on wheel-based mobile robots that navigate in human-made indoor environments. The main problems described throughout this book are: Representation and integration of uncertain geometric information by means of the Symmetries and Perturbations Model (SPmodel). This model combines the use of probability theory to represent the imprecision in the location of a geometric element, and the theory of symmetries to represent the partiality due to characteristics of each type of geometric element. A solution to the first location problem, that is, the computation of an estimation for themobile robot location when the vehicle is completely lost in the environment. The problem is formulated as a search in an interpretation tree using efficient matching algorithms and geometric constraints to reduce the size of the solution space. The book proposes a new probabilistic framework adapted to the problem of simultaneous localization and map building for mobile robots: the Symmetries and Perturbations Map (SPmap). This framework has been experimentally validated by a complete experiment which profited from ground-truth to accurately validate the precision and the appropriateness of the approach. The book emphasizes the generality of the solutions proposed to the different problems and their independence with respect to the exteroceptive sensors mounted on the mobile robot. Theoretical results are complemented by real experiments, where the use of multisensor-based approaches is highlighted.
PASCAL user manual and report
Authors: Kathleen Jensen, Niklaus Wirth
Venue: Lecture Notes In Computer Science; Vol. 18 (1974)

This manual is directed to those who have previously acquired some programming skill. The intention is to provide a means of learning Pascal without outside guidance. It is based on The Programming Language Pascal (Revised Report) [1]--the basic definition of Pascal and concise reference manual for the experienced Pascal programmer. The linear structure of a book is by no means ideal for introducing a language, whether it be a formal or natural one. Nevertheless, it is recommended to follow the given organization, paying particular attention to the example programs, and then to reread those sections causing difficulties. One may wish, however, to reference chapter 12 if troubles arise concerning the input and output conventions of the programs. The manual was prepared as a file on a computer, that is, as a sequence of characters of a single type font. This is very convenient for the purposes of updating; unfortunately, it is sometimes a bit awkward to read. The reader is asked to be indulgent with the absence of sub- and superscripts (e.g. m raised to the power n is denoted by m**n). Chapters 0--12 define the language Pascal and serve as a standard for both the implementor and the programmer. The implementor must regard the task of recognizing Standard Pascal as the minimum requirement of his system, while the programmer who intends his programs to be transferable from one installation to another should use only features described as Standard Pascal. On the other hand, any implementation may (and usually does) go beyond the minimum. Chapters 13 and 14 document the implementation of Pascal on the CDC 6000 machine. Chapter 13 describes the additional features of the language PASCAL 6000, whereas chapter 14 is devoted to the use of the compiler and the system under the operating system SCOPE.
Successful Affiliate Marketing for Merchants
Authors: Frank Fiore, Shawn Collins
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:Foreword By, James L. Marciano The affiliate marketing space has matured quite a bit since 1994, when' the Olim brothers began their first affiliate program at CDnow. The 'buyweb" program revolutionized advertising and marketing on.the Internet by shifting the "burden of response" from advertisers to content producers. 1996 saw the birth of affiliate solution providers - the software needed to track sales by Webmasters - with the introduction of LinkShare and Be Free. That same year, Amazon launched their affiliate ("associates") program, which became a prototype for others in the pay-for-performance industry to follow. I'd consider myself one of the early adopters of affiliate marketing, and I didn't join my first affiliate program until mid-1997, when I was looking for incremental revenue for TheSquare. com, an executive recruiting firm that serves as the "talent agent" for a network of more than 50,000 alumni and students from the Ivy League and other top schools. As I scoured industry publications and search engines for details on affiliate programs, the information wasn't always easy to find. What was needed was a search engine for affiliate programs, with ratings and details. I launched Refer-it.com in late 1997. Other affiliate directories quickly followed, including AssociatePrograms.com, CashPile.com, and ReveNews.com. In early 1999, I held the first Affiliate Solutions conference in NYC, where over 200 e-commerce managers, software companies, and Webmasters gathered to share best practices in the emerging affiliate industry. By mid-1999, affiliate marketing emerged as the most cost effective way for marketing managers to acquire new customers. And by 2000, over three thousand companies and a 'million Webmasters had jumped on the affiliate bandwagon. As companies got focused on profitability, affiliate programs began to play a central role in their overall marketing strategy. Pay-for-performance marketing was no longer a cocktail party catchphrase, but a gateway on the "path to profitability." As with any marketing program, affiliate programs don't run on autopilot. The successful merchants in affiliate marketing not only launch a program with best-in-class member agreements, commissions, and tracking software, but also manage and support their best performing affiliates for optimal results. Shawn Collins and Frank Fiore have done a tremendous job of packaging the industry's best practices so that you too can succeed in affiliate marketing.
