The Dynamics of Judicial Proof
Authors: Peter Tillers, Marilyn MacCrimmon
Venue:  (2002)

:Fact finding in judicial proceedings is a dynamic process. This collection of papers considers whether computational methods or other formal logical methods developed in disciplines such as artificial intelligence, decision theory, and probability theory can facilitate the study and management of dynamic evidentiary and inferential processes in litigation. The papers gathered here have several epicenters, including (i) the dynamics of judicial proof, (ii) the relationship between artificial intelligence or formal analysis and "common sense," (iii) the logic of factual inference, including (a) the relationship between causality and inference and (b) the relationship between language and factual inference, (iv) the logic of discovery, including the role of abduction and serendipity in the process of investigation and proof of factual matters, and (v) the relationship between decision and inference.

Graphically defining articulable tacit knowledge
Authors: Peter Busch, Debbie Richards
Venue: Selected papers from the Pan-Sydney workshop on Visualisation - Volume 2 (2000)

Although codified knowledge and its capture is commonplace, tacit knowledge has up until recent years proved elusive in its inclusion within the organisation's knowledge base. Codified knowledge or articulate knowledge is knowledge that we are all quite familiar with and includes for all intents and purposes the entire range of printed and electronic media. We present here an approach aimed at graphically representing articulable tacit knowledge. It is anticipated that eventual successful modelling of such knowledge will ultimately be undertaken in several Sydney organisations with a view to improving information capture and transference. Two main approaches are demonstrated, the initial approach using formal concept analysis as a means of visualising tacit knowledge differences in questionnaire respondents, whilst the second approach is largely qualitative in nature and aims to better define both textually and then graphically what we may actually consider to comprise tacit knowledge.
Document clustering with committees
Authors: Patrick Pantel, Dekang Lin
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Document clustering is useful in many information retrieval tasks: document browsing, organization and viewing of retrieval results, generation of Yahoo-like hierarchies of documents, etc. The general goal of clustering is to group data elements such that the intra-group similarities are high and the inter-group similarities are low. We present a clustering algorithm called CBC (Clustering By Committee) that is shown to produce higher quality clusters in document clustering tasks as compared to several well known clustering algorithms. It initially discovers a set of tight clusters (high intra-group similarity), called committees, that are well scattered in the similarity space (low inter-group similarity). The union of the committees is but a subset of all elements. The algorithm proceeds by assigning elements to their most similar committee. Evaluating cluster quality has always been a difficult task. We present a new evaluation methodology that is based on the editing distance between output clusters and manually constructed classes (the answer key). This evaluation measure is more intuitive and easier to interpret than previous evaluation measures.

Towards generic refactoring
Authors: Ralf Lämmel
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Rule-based programming (2002)

We define a challenging and meaningful benchmark for genericity in language processing, namely the notion of generic program refactoring. We provide the first implementation of the benchmark based on functional strategic programming in Haskell. We use the basic refactoring of abstraction extraction as the running example. Our implementation comes as a functional programming framework with hot spots for the language-specific ingredients for refactoring, e.g., means for abstraction construction and destruction, and recognisers for name analysis. The language-parametric framework can be instantiated for various, rather different languages, e.g., Java, Prolog, Haskell, or XML schema.

A technique for translating states between database schemata
Authors: Tomasz Imieliński, Witold Lipski,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

Consider two database schemata modeling the same reality. Given a state of the first schema, we can ask what information it provides about the state of the second schema. It turns out that this information can be represented by a table similar to a tableau of Aho, Sagiv and Ullman. We show a simple method to construct this table, by using results developed for tables of this type in the context of representing incomplete information in relational databases. We also consider a closely related notion of equivalence of database schemata, briefly sketching a method to test two schemata for equivalence.

String barcoding: uncovering optimal virus signatures
Authors: Sam Rash, Dan Gusfield
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

There are many critical situations when one needs to rapidly identify an unidentified pathogen from among a given set of previously sequenced pathogens. DNA or RNA hybridization chips can be designed for such identifications. Each cell in the chip can report the presence or absence of a specific substring of DNA in the unidentified pathogen. Properly designed, the collection of reports obtained from the cells can uniquely identify any pathogen in the set, or determine that the unidentified pathogen is not in the set. There is a limit to the number of cells on a chip, and a range of substring lengths that a cell can handle. So, given the full sequences of a set of pathogens, the problem is to design the chip by selecting the smallest set of substrings of the appropriate lengths, so that each pathogen in the set has a unique set of cells that report a substring. For any given pathogen, the set of reporting cells is its signature, and hence the entire system is a "barcode" system for the pathogens.Previous work addressed this problem [1], but focused on pathogens of bacterial size, and hence had to make many compromises for the sake of efficiency. The substrings lengths were severely restricted, and no optimality or near-optimality was guaranteed. In this paper, we focus on viral-size pathogens. We show that for genomes of this size, it is practical to solve the barcode design problem optimally, or near-optimally, without artificially constraining the problem. We also efficiently find barcodes that provide a level of redundancy, tolerating a number of errors or mutations. The key technical ideas are the use of suffix trees to identify the critical substrings, integer-linear programming (ILP) to express the minimization problem, and a simple idea that dramatically reduces the size of the ILP, allowing it to be solved efficiently by the commercial ILP solver CPLEX. We report extensive tests of our approach on various collections of virus DNA and RNA sequences.

Some New Results on Circulant Weighing Matrices
Authors: K. T. Arasu, Siu Lun Ma
Venue: Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Journal (2001)

We obtain a few structural theorems for circulant weighing matrices whose weight is the square of a prime number. Our results provide new schemes to search for these objects. We also establish the existence status of several previously open cases of circulant weighing matrices. More specifically we show their nonexistence for the parameter pairs (i>n, i>k) (here i>n is the order of the matrix and i>k its weight) &equals; (147, 49), (125, 25), (200, 25), (55, 25), (95, 25), (133, 49), (195, 25), (11 i>w, 121) for i>w < 62.
Modeling for All Scales: An Introduction to System Simulation with Disk, 1st edition
Authors: Howard T. Odum, Elisabeth C. Odum, Elizabeth C. Odum
Venue:  (2000)

:Modeling for all Scales uses object-oriented programming to erect and evaluate the efficacy of models of small-, intermediate-, and large-scale systems. Such models allow users to employ intuitively based symbols and a systems ecology approach. The authors, leaders in the systems ecology community, have originated much of the scientific vocabulary of the field. After an introduction to modeling and its benefits, several chapters detailing the more particular elements of successful simulation are followed by another series of chapters, each devoted to models of different sorts of systems. Small-scale models of growth, competition, and evolution give way, successively, to larger and larger scale models such as international trade and the global geobiosphere. Anyone interested in an easy-to-use approach to modeling complex systems authored by perhaps the most original systems ecologists of the century will want this book.

Energy recovering static memory
Authors: Joohee Kim, Conrad H. Ziesler, Marios C. Papaefthymiou
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper proposes an energy-recovering (a.k.a. adiabatic) static RAM with a novel driver that reduces power dissipation by efficiently recovering energy from the bit/word line capacitors. Powered by a single-phase sinusoidal power-clock, our SRAM delivers read and write operations with single-cycle latency. To that end, a precharge-low scheme is employed along with a modified sense amplifier design that achieves high efficiency at differential voltages near $VSS. A simple control circuit is used to maintain driver operation in synchrony with the power-clock waveform. Feedback circuitry from the driver output to the control circuit ensures that our driver remains efficient, independent of the access pattern. Our energy recovering SRAM functions correctly while achieving substantial energy savings over a wide range of supply voltages and operating frequencies. Hspice simulations of a simple full-custom adiabatic 256x256 SRAM, that includes the energy recovering bit/word line drivers, the cell array, and the sense amplifiers, show over 2.6x energy savings at 3V, 300MHz in comparison with its conventional counterpart.
