R-estimation in autoregression with square-integrable score function
Authors: Kanchan Mukherjee, Z. D. Bai
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

This paper develops an asymptotic theory for R-estimation based on a square-integrable, not necessarily bounded, score function in the pth order stationary autoregressive model. Asymptotic uniform linearity of a class of linear rank statistics is established and the asymptotic normality of the corresponding R-estimators is derived. This paper thus solves a long-standing problem in the development of the asymptotics for rank estimators under the autoregressive setup. The proofs use a combination of the approximation technique, the contiguity technique and the weak convergence technique of Hájek, Jurecková and Koul, respectively.

Eigenvalue Bounds Versus Semidefinite Relaxations for the Quadratic Assignment Problem
Authors: K. M. Anstreicher
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

It was recently demonstrated that a well-known eigenvalue bound for the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) actually corresponds to a semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation. However, for this bound to be computationally useful, the assignment constraints of the QAP must first be eliminated and the bound then applied to a lower-dimensional problem. The resulting "projected eigenvalue bound" is one of the best available bounds for the QAP, especially when considering the quality of bounds relative to the complexity of obtaining them. In this paper we show that the projected eigenvalue bound is also related to an SDP relaxation of the original QAP. This "implicit" SDP relaxation is similar to SDP relaxations of the QAP proposed by Lin and Saigal [On Solving Large-scale Semidefinite Programming Problems---A Case Study of Quadratic Assignment Problem, Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, University of Michigan, 1997] and Zhao et al. [J. Combin. Optim., 2 (1998), pp. 71-109].

Ensuring the Success of Contract Formation in Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce
Authors: Ian R. Kerr
Venue: Electronic Commerce Research (2001)

This article examines a number of contractual issues generated by the advent of intelligent agent applications. The aim of the study is to provide legal guidelines for developers of intelligent agent software by addressing the contractual difficulties associated with automated electronic transactions. The author investigates whether the requirements for a legally enforceable contract are satisfied by agent applications that operate independent of human supervision. Given the relative novelty of the technology and the paucity of case law in the area, the author's observations and conclusions are based on an analysis of first principles in contract law. Additionally, the author provides an analysis of whether proposed and enacted electronic commerce legislation in various jurisdictions is sufficient to cure the inherent deficiencies of traditional contract doctrine. Given the trend towards automated electronic commerce, the author concludes by highlighting the legal requirements that must be met in order to ensure the success of agent technology in the formation of online contracts.

Shortest Networks for Smooth Curves
Authors: J. F. Weng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

In this paper we set up a new model of shortest networks that interconnects a set of smooth curves and avoids a set of smoothly bounded obstacles. Using the hexagonal coordinate system we show how the problem of determining a full Steiner tree with a given topology in such a network can be converted to a problem of solving a set of simultaneous equations. Moreover, the number of equations is linearly dependent on the number of curves and obstacles if all curves and all boundaries of obstacles are convex. Hence, any existing numerical methods and computer programs for solving equations can be used to solve this shortest network problem.

Spatial indexing by virtual bounding rectangles for high-dimensional data
Authors: Yasushi Sakurai, Masatoshi Yoshikawa, Shunsuke Uemura
Venue: Information organization and databases: foundations of data organization (2000)

This chapter presents a new indexing scheme, the Subspace Coding Method (SCM), that offers high performance similarity retrieval. Indices in the R-tree family generate tree structure using MBRs (Minimum bounding rectangles) or MBSs (Minimum bounding spheres). Our proposed method is based on tree structure using MBRs (i.e. the R-tree, the R*-tree, the X-tree and so on), and newly introduced the notion of VBR (Virtual Bounding Rectangle). VBRs are rectangles which contain and approximate MBRs. Importantly, the notion of VBR is orthogonal to any other method in the field of spatial search and is introduced into any spatial indices using MBRs. Furthermore, we have introduced the Subspace Coding Method, which can compactly represent VBR. The performance evaluation shows the superiority of our method for high-dimensional data.

A 4-point Hermite subdivision scheme
Authors: Serge Dubuc, Jean-Louis Merrien
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

A subdivision scheme based on 4 points with Hermite data (function and first derivatives) on ZZ is studied. For a large region in the parameter space, the scheme is C 1 C<SUP>1</SUP> convergent or at least is convergent in the space of Schwartz distributions. The Fourier transform of any interpolating function can be computed through products of matrices of order 2. The main tools for proving these results are the Paley-Wiener-Schwartz theorem on the characterization of the Fourier transforms of distributions with compact support, and a theorem of Heil-Colella about the convergence of some products of matrices.
Neurodynamics and Psychology, 1st edition
Authors: Michael Oaksford, Gordon Brown
Venue:  (1994)

:The recent resurgence in neural network and connectionist approaches to modeling cognitive phenomena has led to a strong backlash from the classical cognitive psychology framework. Neurodynamics and Psychology presents a collection of recent work that explores the connectionist versus the classical debate from a variety of perspectives, putting forward the case that the study of neurodynamics may represent the only way forward in the search for solutions to recently emerging problems for neural network models across a wide range of diverse research areas. The book is divided into three parts: Part I covers the general area of attention and action, Part II examines the psychobiology of time and the role of temporal mechanism in providing a solution to the psychologically important binding problem, and Part III reports on the computational modeling of the dynamic psychological processing involved in language and memory. Neurodynamics and Psycholoyg will be of great interest to researchers in the areas of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neural networks and neuropsychology.

A multi-national, multi-institutional study of assessment of programming skills of first-year CS students
Authors: Michael McCracken, Vicki Almstrum, Danny Diaz, Mark Guzdial, Dianne Hagan, Yifat Ben-David Kolikant, Cary Laxer, Lynda Thomas, Ian Utting, Tadeusz Wilusz
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

In computer science, an expected outcome of a student's education is programming skill. This working group investigated the programming competency students have as they complete their first one or two courses in computer science. In order to explore options for assessing students, the working group developed a trial assessment of whether students can program. The underlying goal of this work was to initiate dialog in the Computer Science community on how to develop these types of assessments. Several universities participated in our trial assessment and the disappointing results suggest that many students do not know how to program at the conclusion of their introductory courses. For a combined sample of 216 students from four universities, the average score was 22.89 out of 110 points on the general evaluation criteria developed for this study. From this trial assessment we developed a framework of expectations for first-year courses and suggestions for further work to develop more comprehensive assessments.
Redesigning a large and complex website: how to begin, and a method for success
Authors: Elaine Chou
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

In a technology-oriented, information-intense world, one of the largest challenges facing higher education is the organization, communication, and presentation of information in a coherent and usable fashion via the world wide web. The Learning Team, a part of Information Technology at the College of William and Mary, offers vision and a solution for developing a robust web-based information architecture to centrally administer customized learning modules and services as well as promote web-based training initiatives.This paper focuses on the redesign of the large and complex technology-related Learning Team website, contrasting the design and structure of the old 3,000+ page Learning Team web architecture with the newly-developed site-- from conception in November 2001 to completion in June 2002. Directing the web redesign process, we took a team-oriented approach consisting of several staff and student employees. In this session, I will guide attendees through our product workflow processes from website conception, content presentation, storyboarding, navigational and schematic design, as well as delivery of content to well-conceived webpage layout and usability techniques. I will provide hands-on exercises of our content inventory process, task analysis, "card sorting" techniques as well as "paper prototype" testing.Web designers, developers, trainers, and those interested in creating an effective web presence may find this discussion particularly useful. Participants delivering services over the web, evaluating student employment, assessing the changing needs for services, or interested in providing preventive technical solutions and support to faculty and staff may also find this paper helpful.At its completion, readers will gain: (1) practical knowledge of how to redesign a large and complex website, (2) an understanding of usability practices and some core usability techniques, and (3) exposure to user-centered design. I will share tips and lessons learned as well as practical issues and solutions for developing a solid information architecture and for implementing web standards.
