Real-time convergence of Ada and Java&trade;
Authors: Ben Brosgol, Brian Dobbing
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 annual ACM SIGAda international conference on Ada (2001)

Two independent recent efforts have defined extensions to the Java platform that intend to satisfy real-time requirements. This paper summarizes the major features of these efforts, compares them to each other and to Ada 95's Real-Time Annex, and argues that their convergence with Ada95 may serve to complement rather than compete with Ada in the real-time domain.
Approaches to comprehension-preserving graphical reduction of program visualizations
Authors: F. Naharro-Berrocal, C. Pareja-Flores, J. Urquiza-Fuentes, J. Á. Velázquez-Iturbide
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Past research efforts on the educational effectiveness of software animations agree in the necessity of active involvement of users, i.e. students and teachers. However, one of the main obstacles is the technical difficulty to produce them. Our approach seeks to generate software animations analogously to the generation of documents in office applications. The availability of static visualizations allows the user to define animations friendly; thus, he/she can select the most relevant ones to illustrate meaningfully the algorithm. The selection is facilitated if (ideally) all the static visualizations are simultaneously shown to the user. This sets a novel problem: reducing the size of visualizations while preserving their comprehensibility. In this paper we describe the problem and identify the main difficulties. We think that there is no single solution to the problem. We describe several approaches to this problem, as well as our first, qualitative findings.

Mining top-n local outliers in large databases
Authors: Wen Jin, Anthony K. H. Tung, Jiawei Han
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Outlier detection is an important task in data mining with numerous applications, including credit card fraud detection, video surveillance, etc. A recent work on outlier detection has introduced a novel notion of local outlier in which the degree to which an object is outlying is dependent on the density of its local neighborhood, and each object can be assigned a Local Outlier Factor (LOF) which represents the likelihood of that object being an outlier. Although the concept of local outliers is a useful one, the computation of LOF values for every data objects requires a large number of &kgr;-nearest neighbors searches and can be computationally expensive. Since most objects are usually not outliers, it is useful to provide users with the option of finding only n most outstanding local outliers, i.e., the top-n data objects which are most likely to be local outliers according to their LOFs. However, if the pruning is not done carefully, finding top-n outliers could result in the same amount of computation as finding LOF for all objects. In this paper, we propose a novel method to efficiently find the top-n local outliers in large databases. The concept of "micro-cluster" is introduced to compress the data. An efficient micro-cluster-based local outlier mining algorithm is designed based on this concept. As our algorithm can be adversely affected by the overlapping in the micro-clusters, we proposed a meaningful cut-plane solution for overlapping data. The formal analysis and experiments show that this method can achieve good performance in finding the most outstanding local outliers.

Systolic Opportunities for Multidimensional Data Streams
Authors: Sek M. Chai, D. Scott Wills
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

Portable image processing applications require an efficient, scalable platform with localized computing regions. This paper presents a new class of area I/O systolic architecture to exploit the physical data locality of planar data streams by processing data where it falls. A synthesis technique using dependence graphs, data partitioning, and computation mapping is developed to handle planar data streams and to systematically design arrays with area I/O. Simulation results show that the use of area I/O provides a 16 times speedup over systems with perimeter I/O. Performance comparisons for a set of signal processing algorithms show that systolic arrays that consider planar data streams in the design process are up to three times faster than traditional arrays.
Casebased Learning
Authors: Janet L. Kolodner
Venue:  (1993)

:Case-based reasoning means reasoning based on remembering previous experiences. A reasoner using old experiences (cases) might use those cases to suggest solutions to problems, to point out potential problems with a solution being computed, to interpret a new situation and make predictions about what might happen, or to create arguments justifying some conclusion. A case-based reasoner solves new problems by remembering old situations and adapting their solutions. It interprets new situations by remembering old similar situations and comparing and contrasting the new one to old ones to see where it fits best. Case-based reasoning is a method that combines reasoning with learning. It spans the whole reasoning cycle. A situation is experienced. Old situations are used to understand it. Old situations are used to solve its problem (if there is one to be solved). Then the new situation is inserted into memory alongside the cases it used for reasoning to be used another time. Key to this reasoning method, then, is remembering. Remembering has two parts: integrating cases or experiences into memory when they happen and recalling them in appropriate situations later on. The case-based reasoning community calls this related set of issues the indexing problem. In broad terms, it means finding in memory the experience closest to a new situation. In narrower terms, it can be described as a two-part problem: assigning indexes or labels to experiences when they are put into memory that describe the situations to which they are applicable, so that they can be recalled later, and at recall time, elaborating the new situation in enough detail so that the indexes it would have if it were in the memory are identified.

On gate level power optimization using dual-supply voltages
Authors: Chunhong Chen, Ankur Srivastava, Majid Sarrafzadeh
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

In this paper, we present an approach for applying two supply voltges to optimize power in CMOS digital circuits under the timing constraints. Given a technology-mapped network, we first analyze the power/delay model and the timing slack distribution in the network. Then a new strategy is developed for timing-constrained optimization issues by making full use of slacks. Based on this strategy, the power reductionis translated into the polynomial-time-solvable maximal-weighted-independent-set problem on transitive graphs. Since different supply voltages used in the circuit lead to totally different power consumption, we propose a fast heuristic approach to predict the optimum dual-supply voltages by looking at the lower bound of power consumption in the given circuit. To deal with the possible power penalty due to the level converters at the interface of different supply voltages, we use a "constrained F-M" algorithm to minimize the number of level converters. We have implemented our approach under SIS environment. Experiment shows that the resulting lower bound of power is tight for most circuits and that the predicted "optimum" supply voltages are exactly or very close to the best choice of actual ones. The total poer saving of up to 26% (average of about 20%) is achieved without degrading the circuit performance, compared tot he average power improvement of about 7% bgy gate sizing technique based on a standard cell library. Our technique provides the power-delay tradeoff by specifying different timing constraints in circuits for power optimization.

Ineractive 3D presentations and buyer behavior
Authors: Gerald Häubl, Pablo Figueroa
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

This paper shows preliminary results on how interactive 3D product presentations affect buyer behavior in e-commerce applications over the Internet. We conducted two experiments involving simulated online shopping trips, in which subjects saw some products with 3D presentations and made product choices. The results show that the availability of interactive 3D product presentations instead of still images may affect some important aspects of buyer behavior, including the amount of time spent examining products and purchase likelihood.
Instant Scriptlets
Authors: Dino Esposito
Venue:  (1998)

:Scriptlets are one of the most exciting features of Internet Explorer 4.0 and represent an excellent way to project DHTML as a development platform. DHTML will be key to the future of windows programming, but it is also important to web developers in general. IE will support DHTML and Scriptlets on Win32, Win3.1, Unix, Mac, WinCE, so Scriptlets and DHTML are not tied to windows in any way. Thus this book is useful for both Windows programmers and web developers.In the future, using HTML or DHTML will become natural, since you don't have to redistribute anything. Just assume that your software (even a desktop application) will run on a Win9x platform. All this wouldn't be so interesting and appealing if developers had to reinvent the wheel every time they needed some DHTML code. But Scriptlets have been introduced just to facilitate HTML code reuse! Consequently, there will be a strong need for good and useful Scriptlet books as soon as people realize what is changing and the direction that programming is going to take. Every programmer that is developing Windows-based commercial code will be interested in a book like this sooner or later, because the indications are that DHTML will be the engine behind the user interface of the next generation of applications. If I'm right, everyone will need a handy reference to Scriptlet programming. It will also be of great interest to anyone developing a web site, using DHTML and wishing to reuse their code at any point.|

DCT Implementation with Distributed Arithmetic
Authors: Sungwook Yu, Earl E. Swartzlander,  Jr.
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

This paper presents an efficient method for implementing the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) with distributed arithmetic. While conventional approaches use the original DCT algorithm or the even-odd frequency decomposition of the DCT algorithm, the proposed architecture uses the recursive DCT algorithm and requires less area than the conventional approaches, regardless of the memory reduction techniques employed in the ROM Accumulators (RACs). An efficient architecture for implementing the scaled DCT with distributed arithmetic is also proposed. The new architecture requires even less area while keeping the same structural regularity for an easy VLSI implementation. A comparison of synthesized DCT processors shows that the proposed method reduces the hardware area of regular and scaled DCT processors by 17 percent and 23 percent, respectively, relative to a conventional design. With the row-column decomposition method, the proposed architectures can be easily extended to compute the two-dimensional DCT required in many image compression applications such as HDTV.
