A product focused, layered software development framework
Authors: William Tepfenhart, Daniela Rosca, Daniel Woolley
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

This paper started from the observation that there is a need among the existing software process models to adapt to the size and scope of the product being developed. Therefore, we propose here the Layered Software Development Framework, which recasts classical software development models in light of the architectural levels described in Helm's Scalability Model. It describes the development of software as a set of specific development activities limited to individual architectural levels and the interactions between them, rather than as a set of general development activities distributed across all architectural levels. The framework can be tailored to the specific product being developed, and practices followed by a development organization.
A Low-Power 100 MHz Analog FIR Filter for PRML Equalization
Authors: Joongho Choi, Jungryoul Choi
Venue: Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing (2001)

This paper presents design of a low-power 100 MHz analog FIR filter for PRML equalization used in the read channel of hard disk drives. The chip consists of 16 channels to provide 15-tap FIR filter operation. By using rotating clocks for sample/hold operation with one dummy channel, timing constraints can be relieved, which results in low-power consumption. The chip incorporates the parallel array of sample-and-hold amplifiers for analog delay line. The sample-and-hold amplifier includes the open-loop unity-gain amplifier with gain-control circuit using replica-biasing scheme, which also improves uniformity among amplifiers. It was fabricated in a 0.8-&mgr;m CMOS technology and consumes power of 200 mW for \pm 1.65 V power supply voltage.

Notations for Software Design
Authors: Loe M. G. Feijs, Cornelis A. Middelburg, Hans B. Jonker
Venue:  (1994)

:Notations for Software Design presents a wide variety of formal, mathematically-based, textual notations for describing software systems. Together these notations cover every stage of the software design process. Formal approaches to software development are currently being implemented by many companies. This volume explains formal specification and design using COLD-1, a wide-spectrum language which supports a variety of specification styles. COLD-1 was developed in an industrial environment in cooperation with academic research groups and partners in ESPRIT projects, and is now being used in real product design. Detailed case studies are used to show the language in action. The authors also create an important link between current and future practice by covering a number of commonly-used informal techniques, such as Venn diagrams and Petri nets. Notations for Software Design will enable the reader to develop a working knowledge of a wide variety of formal notations, and to use and apply these notations effectively. It will provide invaluable reading for practitioners in software development who are interested in using formal notations for producing dependable software, and will also be of interest to students of computer science.
Premonoidal categories as categories with algebraic structure
Authors: John Power
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We develop the study of premonoidal categories. Specifically, we reconcile premonoidal categories with the usual study of categories with algebraic structure by adding a little extra structure. We further give a notion of closedness for a premonoidal category with such extra structure, and show that every premonoidal category fully embeds into a closed one.

Exploiting the kaleidoscope architecture in an industrial environmental monitoring system with heterogeneous devices and a knowledge-based supervisor
Authors: Daniela Micucci
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Monitoring and control systems deal with complicated issues such as integration of heterogeneous components and management of different acquisition devices. The paper introduces the Kaleidoscope reference architecture for monitoring and control systems and exemplifies how it supports these issues. The architecture has been exploited in an indoor environmental monitoring system named RAID (Rilevamento dati Ambientali con Interfaccia DECT). The system is based on innovative sensors and wireless communication. It includes a knowledge-based supervisor aimed at identifying pollutant sources. Finally, it handles the different operating modes supported by physical sensors: low consumption with battery, and high consumption with mains.The paper presents the abstract model for major RAID entities. Then it sketches how abstract entities are mapped into concrete representations. Finally focuses how sensor different operating mode is supported dynamically.
Automatically connecting documentation to code with rose
Authors: Robert Pierce, Scott Tilley
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

One of the most common problems with program documentation is keeping it synchronized with the source code it purports to explain. One solution to this problem is to automate the documentation process using reverse engineering technology. Reverse engineering is an emerging branch of software engineering that focuses on recreating high-level information (such as program documentation) from low-level artifacts (such as source code). This paper describes an automated approach to maintaining the connection between documentation and code by leveraging the reverse engineering capabilities built-in to Rational Rose. The approach produces application programming interface documentation for component object model-based (COM) dynamic link libraries (DLLs), C++ source code, and Java archive files. The documentation is always accurate and up-to-date. A primary advantage of the approach is its reliance on an industry-standard tool, thereby addressing one of the main concerns with facilitating wide-spread tool adoption: commercial-level support of deployed products.
Characterization and elimination of redundancy in recursive programs
Authors: Norman H. Cohen
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

Many well-known functions are computed by interpretations of the recursion schemaprocedure f(x) ;if p(x)then return a(x)else return b(x,f(c1(x)),&hellip;,f(cn(x)))Some of these interpretations define redundant computations because they lead to multiple calls on f with identical argument values. The existence and nature of the redundancy depend on properties of the functions ci. We explore four sets of assumptions about these functions. We analyze directed acyclic graphs formed by merging the nodes of the computation tree for f(x) which are known to be equal for each set of assumptions. In each case there is a transformed program which computes f(x) without redundancy, provided that certain additional assumptions about p, a, and the ci are satisfied. The transformed programs avoid redundancy by saving exactly those intermediate results which will be needed again later in the computation. These programs are all valueless recursive procedures which leave intermediate and final results in specified global locations; in each case recursion can be eliminated without use of a stack. We compare the storage requirements of the transformed programs, discuss the applicability of these transformations to an automatic program improvement system, and present a general criterion for establishing the existence of redundancy.

Adaptive gain control for high dynamic range image display
Authors: Sumanta Pattanaik, Hector Yee
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th spring conference on Computer graphics (2002)

Realistic display of high dynamic range images without introducing any artifact is a hard problem. In this paper we address this problem using a detail preserving local gain control approach. Unlike many other local gain control methods available in the literature, our method is simple, and does not introduce ugly "halo" artifacts around the high dynamic range edges. We demonstrate the usefulness of this method by showing several examples.

Lattice Embeddings for Abstract Bounded Reducibilities
Authors: Wolfgang Merkle
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We give an abstract account of resource-bounded reducibilities as exemplified by the polynomially time- or logarithmically space-bounded reducibilities of Turing, truth-table, and many-one type. We introduce a small set of axioms that are satisfied for most of the specific resource-bounded reducibilities appearing in the literature. Some of the axioms are of a more algebraic nature, such as the requirement that the reducibility under consideration is a reflexive relation, while others are formulated in terms of recursion theory and, for example, are related to delayed computations of arbitrary recursive sets.The main technical result shown is that for any reducibility that satisfies these axioms, every countable distributive lattice can be embedded into any proper interval of the structure induced on the recursive sets. This extends a corresponding result for polynomially time-bounded reducibilities due to Ambos-Spies [Inform. and Control, 65 (1985), pp. 63--84], as well as a result on embeddings of partial orderings for axiomatically described reducibilities due to Mehlhorn [J. Comput. System Sci., 12 (1976), pp. 147--178].
