Computing subgroups by exhibition in finite solvable groups
Authors: Bettina Eick, Charles R.B. Wright
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

We present practical algorithms to compute subgroups such as Hall systems, system normalizers, F -normalizers and F -covering subgroups in finite solvable groups. An application is an algorithm to calculate head complements in finite solvable groups; that is, complements which are closely related to maximal subgroups. Our algorithms use the technique of exhibiting subgroups. Copyright 2002 Academic Press
Evaluating pattern languages in participatory design
Authors: Andy Dearden, Janet Finlay, Liz Allgar, Barbara McManus
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

We present an evaluaion of pattern languages as tools for participatory design, based on three criteria, derived from the work of Christopher Alexander: empowering users, generative design and life-enhancing outcomes. Our results suggest that pattern languages can be used to enable users to participate in design, but that the role of facilitator and the form and physical presentaton of the pattern language are factors in success.
AODV compatible routing with extensive use of cache information in ad-hoc networks
Authors: Wooi-Ghee Wang, Takahiro Hara, Masahiko Tsukamoto, Shojiro Nishio
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in ad-hoc networks, which are dynamically constructed by collections of mobile hosts without using any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Each mobile host plays a role of a router and relays packets for multihop network communications. A recent trend in ad-hoc network routing is the reactive on-demand philosophy where routes are established only when required. Most of the protocols in this category, however, show a long latency in route discovery since the cached routing information will be invalidated even if it is still effective. In this paper, we propose a scheme which is compatible to the existing Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol and prevents the cached routing information from becoming invalidated without using any extra control message. We also verify the effectiveness of the newly proposed scheme by simulation experiments.

Dynamic, Genetic, and Chaotic Programming: The Sixth-Generation
Authors: Branko Soucek
Venue:  (1992)

:Natural language, decision making, nonstationary environments, and other dynamic processes and systems represent some of the greatest challenges facing sixth generation computer technologies. Here, for the first time, is a practical software engineering and applications-oriented work that applies five new neural, genetic, and chaotic paradigms--including the much heralded genetic programming--to a full range of dynamic processes and systems for engineers, designers, developers, and students alike. Each of the paradigms listed below is examined, described, tested, and compared using a range of examples and problems to highlight their unique features and uses: adaptive learning--reinforcement learning and recurrent neural networks; rule-based computing--automated knowledge acquisition; genetic algorithms--adaptation of strings of characters or blocks describing dynamic processes; genetic programming--adaptation of hierarchically structured computer programs; and software of chaos--nonlinear dynamics in the presence of strange attractors. The book presents a unified treatment of material that has previously been scattered worldwide over a number of publications and research reports--as well as previously unpublished methods and results from the IRIS (Integration of Reasoning, Informing and Serving) Group. Dynamic, Genetic, and Chaotic Programming: The Sixth Generation imitates organic evolutionary processes, parallelism, and collective learning paradigms of natural populations, and in this way offers new revolutionary methods for scientific and technical data processing.

Verification and validation of object-oriented artifacts throughout the simulation model development life cycle
Authors: John T. Carr,  III, Osman Balci
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The purpose of this paper is to present a series of questions (or indicators) for assessing the verity and validity of the artifacts produced during the entire object-oriented simulation model development life cycle. Using modern object-oriented development processes, artifacts developed in one phase flow seamlessly from those of the previous phase. This provides forward and backward traceability between artifacts. This inherent backward traceability has been exploited by tracing defects in artifacts back to their defective ancestral artifacts. Questions are then phrased such that when answered in the negative indicate the presence of defects. Use of the Evaluation Environment software tool facilitates the integration of the answers to the assessment questions and enables an overall evaluation. The collection of questions can be useful for the verification and validation of artifacts in any object-oriented simulation model development.

Reconstruction of Three-Dimensional Objects through Matching of Their Parts
Authors: Georgios Papaioannou, Evaggelia-Aggeliki Karabassi, Theoharis Theoharis
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

The problem of reassembling an object from its parts or fragments has never been addressed with a unified computational approach, which depends on the pure geometric form of the parts and not application-specific features. We propose a method for the automatic reconstruction of a model based on the geometry of its parts, which may be computer-generated models or range-scanned models. The matching process can benefit from any other external constraint imposed by the specific application.

Expressiveness of structured document query languages based on attribute grammars
Authors: Frank Neven, Jan Van Den Bussche
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

Structured document databases can be naturally viewed as derivation trees of a context-free grammar. Under this view, the classical formalism of attribute grammars becomes a formalism for structured document query languages. From this perspective, we study the expressive power of BAGs: Boolean-valued attribute grammars with propositional logic formulas as semantic rules, and RAGs: relation-valued attribute grammars with first-order logic formulas as semantic rules. BAGs can express only unary queries; RAGs can express queries of any arity. We first show that the (unary) queries expressible by BAGs are precisely those definable in monadic second-order logic. We then show that the queries expressible by RAGs are precisely those definable by first-order inductions of linear depth, or, equivalently, those computable in linear time on a parallel machine with polynomially many processors. Further, we show that RAGs that only use synthesized attributes are strictly weaker than RAGs that use both synthesized and inherited attributes. We show that RAGs are more expressive than monadic second-order logic for queries of any arity. Finally, we discuss relational attribute grammars in the context of BAGs and RAGs. We show that in the case of BAGs this does not increase the expressive power, while different semantics for relational RAGs capture the complexity classes NP, coNP and UP &cap; coUP.
