On Three-Grid Fourier Analysis for Multigrid
Authors: Roman Wienands, Cornelis W. Oosterlee
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper, we present three-grid Fourier analysis for multigrid methods. Due to the recursive structure of a multigrid iteration, this analysis can be deduced from the well-known two-grid Fourier analysis. The coarse grid correction part of multigrid algorithms can be more accurately evaluated with the three-grid analysis. We apply the analysis to several scalar equations and discretizations with an emphasis on problems with a multigrid coarse grid correction difficulty like upwind discretizations of the convection diffusion equation. The main focus lies on possible improvements by carefully chosen Galerkin operators and/or by an additional acceleration with restarted GMRES, GMRES($m$). Numerical test calculations validate the theoretical predictions.
Classifying text documents by associating terms with text categories
Authors: Osmar R. Zaïane, Maria-Luiza Antonie
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Australasian database conference - Volume 5 (2002)

Automatic text categorization has always been an important application and research topic since the inception of digital documents. Today, text categorization is a necessity due to the very large amount of text documents that we have to deal with daily. Many techniques and algorithms for automatic text categorization have been devised and proposed in the literature. However, there is still much room for improving the effectiveness of these classifiers, and new models need to be examined. We propose herein a new approach for automatic text categorization. This paper explores the use of association rule mining in building a text categorization system and proposes a new fast algorithm for building a text classifier. Our approach has the advantage of a very fast training phase, and the rules of the classifier generated are easy to understand and manually tuneable. Our investigation leads to conclude that association rule mining is a good and promising strategy for efficient automatic text categorization.

An approach to lightweight deployment of web services
Authors: J. Gergic, J. Kleindienst, Y. Despotopoulos, J. Soldatos, G. Patikis, A. Anagnostou, L. Polymenakos
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Web Services is gradually becoming the most popular distributed computing paradigm for the Internet. Although several vendor and research efforts are in progress, fully-fledged deployment of Web Services in a wide scale has not been accomplished yet. The present contribution describes a framework for lightweight deployment of Web Services. This framework can be seen as a contribution to a smooth transition step towards a complete large-scale deployment. The paper starts with a description of data access techniques supporting multiple data providers, devised and used in the scope of a European research project. It is illustrated how schemes employed to provide remote transparent access to the data providers evolved to a lightweight Web Services framework.
Feynman Lectures on Computation
Authors: Richard Phillips Feynman
Venue:  (2000)

:From 1983 to 1986, the legendary physicist and teacher Richard Feynman gave a course at Caltech called "Potentialities and Limitations of Computing Machines." Although the lectures are over ten years old, most of the material is timeless and presents a "Feynmanesque" overview of many standard and some not-so-standard topics in computer science. These include compatibility, Turing machines (or as Feynman said, "Mr. Turing's machines"), information theory, Shannon's Theorem, reversible computation, the thermodynamics of computation, the quantum limits to computation, and the physics of VLSI devices. Taken together, these lectures represent a unique exploration of the fundamental limitations of digital computers. Feynman's philosophy of learning and discovery comes through strongly in these lectures. He constantly points out the benefits of playing around with concepts and working out solutions to problems on your own - before looking at the back of the book for the answers. As Feynman says in the lectures: "If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions - for the fun of it - then one day you'll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one! And that's the way to become a computer scientist."

Review of Probabilistic Combinatorics and Its Applications: editor: B&eacute;la Bollob&aacute;s
Authors: Danny Krizanc
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (1999)

Probablistic arguments have been applied in many areas of combinatorics and theoretical computer science ever since Erd&ouml;s first used one to prove bounds on Ramsey numbers. Applications range from constructing graphs with properties useful in building communication networks to almost uniform generation of random structures for the purpose of approximately solving intractable counting problems. This book consists of a series of introductory survey articles on topics in probablistic combinatorics and its applications. (The articles are derived from lectures given in one of a series of short courses sponsored by the American Mathematical Society.) The topics covered include random and random-like graphs, discrete isoperimetric inequalities, rapidly mixing Markov chains, and finite Fourier methods. The emphasis throughout the book is on techniques, with sufficient examples to show their usefulness.

Distributed database concurrency controls using before-values
Authors: Richard E. Stearns, Daniel J. Rosenkrantz
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

Associated with the write of a database entity is both the "before" or old value, and the "after" or new value. Concurrency can be increased by allowing other transactions to read the before values of a given transaction. The ramifications of allowing this, particularly on a distributed system in which limited communications is desirable, are investigated. A careful distinction is made between design decisions concerning communications and design decisions concerning the responses to read/write requests. Two schemes for producing such controls are given, one scheme for systems where processes are committed on termination, and the other for systems where committment is made later.

Consistent Approximations and Approximate Functions and Gradients in Optimal Control
Authors: Olivier Pironneau, Elijah Polak
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

Because of the unavoidable use of numerical integration methods, such as Runge--Kutta or finite elements, the numerical solution of optimal control problems, with either ODE or PDE dynamics, is governed by a discretization parameter such as the integration mesh-size. Usually, when explicit integration techniques are used, function and derivative values can be computed exactly for the discretized problems. Recently, we have come across some examples where function and derivative values of the explicitly discretized problems had to be approximated by the outcome of N iterations of a solver. Consequently, the discretization of these problems is controlled by two parameters: the mesh-size and the number of iterations of the solver.Referring to [E. Polak, Optimization: Algorithms and Consistent Approximations, Springer-Verlag, 1997], we find a theory for solving optimization problems that require discretization. It deals with two situations. In the first, which is referred to as that of consistent approximations, it is assumed that an infinite dimensional optimization problem can be suitably approximated by a family of progressively higher dimensional optimization problems. In this case, strategies, in the form of algorithm models, are presented for "diagonalizing" the solution process. In the second situation, it is assumed that numerical solution of the dynamic equations does not result in a family of finite dimensional consistent approximations (e.g., when implicit integration methods are used). For this case, the theory provides models for the implementation of conceptual algorithms. Unfortunately, neither of these situations envisions the possibility of two discretization parameters.In this paper, we present new algorithm models that can be used with two discretization parameters. The first one controls the mesh-size of an explicit integration scheme, and the second one controls the precision with which functions and gradients associated with a fixed mesh-size are computed. The result can be seen as a framework of quasi-consistent approximations.We implemented these new algorithm models using an approximate steepest descent method for the solution of two problems: a two-point boundary value problem in which the discretized linear ODE dynamics are solved approximately using the Gauss--Seidel method and a distributed control problem in which the discretized dynamics are solved using a domain decomposition algorithm which can be implemented on parallelized computers. Our numerical results show that these new algorithms perform quite well and are fairly insensitive to the selection of user-set parameters. Also, they appear to be superior to some alternative, ad hoc schemes.

Authors: Richard Wootton, Julia Polak, David Springall
Venue:  (1994)

:This volume provides a timely and useful introduction to the theory and practical application of image analysis in histology. This powerful research technique can be used to detect not only stored products in a cell (immunocytochemistry) but the synthetic machinery and the genes that control it (in situ hybridisation), as well as the specific binding sites that act as receptors for a molecule following its release (in vitro autoradiography). The book provides a good introduction for beginners before looking in greater detail at more advanced material in selected areas.The volume highlights the importance of technique in gathering quantitative information. The book is divided into four sections: introductory material, image acquisition, image processing, and applications. the applications areas include quantitative immunochemistry, quantification of nerves and neurotransmitters and automated grain counting in in situ hybridisation histochemistry.
Broadband Access and Technology, 1st edition
Authors: D.w. W. Faulkner, A. L. Harmer
Venue:  (1999)

:New broadband services, which depend upon state-of-the-art technology, will drive investment in broadband access networks for both business and residential applications such as switched video and fast internet access.Unlike core networks where fibre is ubiquitous, the way to broadband access in the future could come from a number of alternative technologies: fibre, hybrid fibre-coax, hybrid fibre-radio, and hybrid fibre-metallic pair systems. De-regulation has created new market opportunities in Europe, which will drive investment in broadband access. Papers published in these proceedings give insight into these and other key issues facing network designers: - Comparing alternatives technologies as investment opportunities - Investigating new system designs: APON, HFR and HFC - Examining the role of WDM in access - Introducing new techniques for fast file transfer
Image based flow visualization
Authors: Jarke J. van Wijk
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

A new method for the visualization of two-dimensional fluid flow is presented. The method is based on the advection and decay of dye. These processes are simulated by defining each frame of a flow animation as a blend between a warped version of the previous image and a number of background images. For the latter a sequence of filtered white noise images is used: filtered in time and space to remove high frequency components. Because all steps are done using images, the method is named Image Based Flow Visualization (IBFV). With IBFV a wide variety of visualization techniques can be emulated. Flow can be visualized as moving textures with line integral convolution and spot noise. Arrow plots, streamlines, particles, and topological images can be generated by adding extra dye to the image. Unsteady flows, defined on arbitrary meshes, can be handled. IBFV achieves a high performance by using standard features of graphics hardware. Typically fifty frames per second are generated using standard graphics cards on PCs. Finally, IBFV is easy to understand, analyse, and implement.
The design and implementation of an APL dialect, ELI
Authors: Wai-Mee Ching
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on APL-Berlin-2000 conference (2000)

ELI is an APL dialect that uses ASCII characters. It has a workspace based programming environment: all primitives of APL1[3] and control structures. It has no nested arrays or defined operators. Instead, it has user-defined data structures, and defined functions can take functions (in addition to variables) as parameters. ELI preserves the simplicity of APL1 while modestly extends it. The ELI interpreter is implemented on Windows using Visual C++, which connects to MFC to provide many GUI functions for the Window platform. The core interpreter consists of a parser, a tree-executor, and a module implementing all primitive functions. Currently the implementation also provides a function editor and the ability to save/load workspaces.
Automatic data structure selection in SETL
Authors: Edmond Schonberg, Jacob T. Schwartz, Micha Sharir
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

SETL is a very high level programming language supporting set theoretical syntax and semantics. It allows algorithms to be programmed rapidly and succinctly without requiring data structure declarations to be supplied, though such declarations can be manually specified later, without recoding the program, to improve the efficiency of program execution. We describe a new technique for automatic selection of appropriate data representations during compile-time for undeclared, or partially declared programs,and present an efficient data structure selection algorithm, whose complexity is comparable with those of the fastest known general data-flow algorithms of Tarjan [TA2] and Reif [RE].
