Sotto voce: exploring the interplay of conversation and mobile audio spaces
Authors: Paul M. Aoki, Rebecca E. Grinter, Amy Hurst, Margaret H. Szymanski, James D. Thornton, Allison Woodruff
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

In addition to providing information to individual visitors, electronic guidebooks have the potential to facilitate social interaction between visitors and their companions. However, many systems impede visitor interaction. By contrast, our electronic guidebook, Sotto Voce, has social interaction as a primary design goal. The system enables visitors to share audio information - specifically, they can hear each other's guidebook activity using a technologically mediated audio eavesdropping mechanism. We conducted a study of visitors using Sotto Voce while touring a historic house. The results indicate that visitors are able to use the system effectively, both as a conversational resource and as an information appliance. More surprisingly, our results suggest that the technologically mediated audio often cohered the visitors' conversation and activity to a far greater degree than audio delivered through the open air

Comparative lexical analysis of FORTRAN code, code comments and English text
Authors: Marie Zemankova, Caroline M. Eastman
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

Lexical characteristics of samples of FORTRAN code, code comments, and English text were compared in order to test the hypothesis that code comments would show characteristics intermediate between FORTRAN code and English text. The code comments were indeed intermediate in the use of special characters and function words but were similar to English text in letter distribution and average word length.
New directions for integrated circuit cards operating systems
Authors: Pierre Paradinas, Jean-Jacques Vandewalle
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

Integrated circuit cards or smart cards are now well-known. Applications such as electronic purses (cash units stored in cards), subscriber identification cards used in cellular telephone or access keys for pay-TV and information highways emerge in many places with millions of users. More services are required by applications providers and card holders. Mainly, new integrated circuit cards evolve towards non-predefined multi-purpose, open and multi-user applications. Today, operating systems implemented into integrated circuit cards cannot respond to these new trends. They have evolved from simple operating systems defining an hardware abstraction level up to file management systems or database management systems where the card behaviour was defined once at the manufacturing level or by the card issuer. The needs for open and flexible card life cycle enabling to accommodate executable code loaded by different service providers require a new generation of smart cards. Operating systems based on object-oriented technologies are key components for future integrated circuit cards applications.
Back and forth between guarded and modal logics
Authors: Erich Grädel, Colin Hirsch, Martin Otto
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL) (2002)

Guarded fixed-point logic &mu;GF extends the guarded fragment by means of least and greatest fixed points, and thus plays the same role within the domain of guarded logics as the modal &mu;-calculus plays within the modal domain. We provide a semantic characterization of &mu;GF within an appropriate fragment of second-order logic, in terms of invariance under guarded bisimulation. The corresponding characterization of the modal &mu;-calculus, due to Janin and Walukiewicz, is lifted from the modal to the guarded domain by means of model theoretic translations. Guarded second-order logic, the fragment of second-order logic which is introduced in the context of our characterization theorem, captures a natural and robust level of expressiveness with several equivalent characterizations. For a wide range of issues in guarded logics it may take up a role similar to that of monadic second-order in relation to modal logics. At the more general methodological level, the translations between the guarded and modal domains make the intuitive analogy between guarded and modal logics available as a tool in the further analysis of the model theory of guarded logics.

Mechanizing proof: computing, risk, and trust
Authors: Donald MacKenzie
Venue:  (2001)

Most aspects of our private and social lives---our safety, the integrity of the financial system, the functioning of utilities and other services, and national security---now depend on computing. But how can we know that this computing is trustworthy? In Mechanizing Proof, Donald MacKenzie addresses this key issue by investigating the interrelations of computing, risk, and mathematical proof over the last half century from the perspectives of history and sociology. His discussion draws on the technical literature of computer science and artificial intelligence and on extensive interviews with scientists and engineers.

Interactive previewing for transfer function specification in volume rendering
Authors: Charl P. Botha, Frits H. Post
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

This paper presents a new technique for supplying meaningful visual feedback during direct volume rendering transfer function specification. The technique uses meta-data calculated during a pre-processing step to generate interactively an approximate volume rendering that is voxel-registered with a single user-selected slice. Because of the registration, this preview can easily be alpha-blended with a grey-scale image of the data that is being volume rendered. In this way, the user gets real-time visual feedback on her transfer function specification with regards to both the expected composited optical properties and the "fidelity" (how closely the rendering matches the original data) of the resulting rendering.
Computer Go: an AI oriented survey
Authors: Bruno Bouzy, Tristan Cazenave
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2001)

Since the beginning of AI, mind games have been studied as relevant application fields. Nowadays, some programs are better than human players in most classical games. Their results highlight the efficiency of AI methods that are now quite standard. Such methods are very useful to Go programs, but they do not enable a strong Go program to be built. The problems related to Computer Go require new AI problem solving methods. Given the great number of problems and the diversity of possible solutions, Computer Go is an attractive research domain for AI. Prospective methods of programming the game of Go will probably be of interest in other domains as well. The goal of this paper is to present Computer Go by showing the links between existing studies on Computer Go and different AI related domains: evaluation function, heuristic search, machine learning, automatic knowledge generation, mathematical morphology and cognitive science. In addition, this paper describes both the practical aspects of Go programming, such as program optimization, and various theoretical aspects such as combinatorial game theory, mathematical morphology, and Monte Carlo methods. . 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Path clustering in software timing analysis
Authors: Fabian Wolf, Rolf Ernst, Wei Ye
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

Verification of program running time is essential in system design with real-time constraints. Simulation with incomplete test patterns or simple instruction counting are not appropriate for complex architectures. Software running times of embedded systems are process state and input data dependent. Formal analysis of such dependencies leads to software running time intervals rather than single values. These intervals depend on program properties, execution paths. and states of processes, as well as on the target architecture. An approach to analysis of process behavior using running time intervals is presented. It improves our previoius work by exploiting program segments with single paths and by taking the execution context into account. The example of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell handler demonstrates significant improvements in analysis precision. Experimental results show the superiority of the presented approach over well-established approaches.

Worst and Best Irredundant Sum-of-Products Expressions
Authors: Tsutomu Sasao, Jon T. Butler
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

In an irredundant sum-of-products expression (ISOP), each product is a prime implicant (PI) and no product can be deleted without changing the function. Among the ISOPs for some function $f$, a worst ISOP (WSOP) is an ISOP with the largest number of PIs and a minimum ISOP (MSOP) is one with the smallest number. We show a class of functions for which the Minato-Morreale ISOP algorithm produces WSOPs. Since the ratio of the size of the WSOP to the size of the MSOP is arbitrarily large when $n$, the number of variables, is unbounded, the Minato-Morreale algorithm can produce results that are very far from minimum. We present a class of multiple-output functions whose WSOP size is also much larger than its MSOP size. For a set of benchmark functions, we show the distribution of ISOPs to the number of PIs. Among this set are functions where the MSOPs have almost as many PIs as do the WSOPs. These functions are known to be easy to minimize. Also, there are benchmark functions where the fraction of ISOPs that are MSOPs is small and MSOPs have many fewer PIs than the WSOPs. Such functions are known to be hard to minimize. For one class of functions, we show that the fraction of ISOPs that are MSOPs approaches 0 as $n$ approaches infinity, suggesting that such functions are hard to minimize.
