Mabo-style claims to the radio spectrum
Authors: Anna Corbo Crehan
Venue: Selected papers from the second Australian Institute conference on Computer ethics (2000)

My concern in this paper is going to be the ways in which various Information Technology (IT) developments can raise ethical issues in seemingly unrelated (ie. non-IT) areas. In particular, I want to show how developments in relation to the Radio Spectrum raise ethical issues about the rights which indigenous Australians have qua indigenous Australians. Along the way, I will illustrate the limits of contemporary Australian approaches to the concept of native rights, and raise the question of whether alternative approaches ought to be preferred.
Intelligent Control Systems Using Soft Computing Methodologies, 1st edition
Authors: Ali Zilouchian, Mohammad Jamshidi
Venue:  (2000)

:In recent years, intelligent control has emerged as one of the most active and fruitful areas of research and development. Until now, however, there has been no comprehensive text that explores the subject with focus on the design and analysis of biological and industrial applications. Intelligent Control Systems Using Soft Computing Methodologies does all that and more. Beginning with an overview of intelligent control methodologies, the contributors present the fundamentals of neural networks, supervised and unsupervised learning, and recurrent networks. They address various implementation issues, then explore design and verification of neural networks for a variety of applications, including medicine, biology, digital signal processing, object recognition, computer networking, desalination technology, and oil refinery and chemical processes.The focus then shifts to fuzzy logic, with a review of the fundamental and theoretical aspects, discussion of implementation issues, and examples of applications, including control of autonomous underwater vehicles, navigation of space vehicles, image processing, robotics, and energy management systems. The book concludes with the integration of genetic algorithms into the paradigm of soft computing methodologies, including several more industrial examples, implementation issues, and open problems and open problems related to intelligent control technology.Suited as both a textbook and a reference, Intelligent Control Systems explores recent advances in the field from both the theoretical and the practical viewpoints. It also integrates intelligent control design methodologies to give designers a set of flexible, robust controllers and providestudents with a tool for solving the examples and exercises within the book.
Remote concept design from an activity theory perspective
Authors: Tuomo Tuikka
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

This paper presents product concept design situations that occurred in computer aided concept design workshops. These situations were analysed using the concepts of activity theory to show how designers convey their understanding across distance. From this analysis, hypothetical user activity can be identified as an instrument of collaborative construction during design action. It is a common design object and mediates between the designers along with the future artifact. In order to support designers, future computer systems should therefore bridge the gap between physical and virtual design spaces. The concept of hypothetical user activity can be a means to organize such a system.

On the recognition and design of acyclic databases
Authors: A. D'Atri, M. Moscarini
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

The acyclicity degree of a relational database scheme is an interesting topic due to several desirable properties of the corresponding database [5,16]. In this paper a simple and homogeneous way to characterize the acyclicity degree of a database scheme is given. The method is based on the existence in all acyclic database schemes of a nonempty set of relation schemes that satisfy a "pruning predicate", which is a property similar to the property satisfied by the leaves in an ordinary tree. This fact implies that such relation schemes may be eliminated using a recursive pruning algorithm in order to determine the acyclicity degree. Furthermore, if we use an incremental step by step design methodology, enriching the scheme one relation at a time, the pruning predicate suggests a set of properties that have to be verified by the new relation scheme in order to preserve the acyclicity degree of the database scheme.
Mixed Approximations for Boundary Elements
Authors: O. Steinbach
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

We describe a mixed boundary element discretization of the Steklov--Poincar&eacute; operator related to a three-dimensional boundary value problem with mixed boundary conditions of Dirichlet and Neumann type. The Galerkin discretization of the Steklov--Poincar&eacute; operator is replaced by a mixed approximation based on a boundary integral equation including single and double layer potentials only, where appropriate stability conditions have to be assumed. We show that the required stability conditions hold when either isoparametric trial functions are used or when the approximation of the Steklov--Poincar&eacute; operator is done on a refined boundary element mesh. A numerical example for a mixed boundary value problem for the Laplace equation confirms the theoretical results.

A customizable shared information space to support concurrent design
Authors: Aiko Frank, Bernhard Mitschang
Venue: Computers in Industry (2002)

Sharing data is an important aspect in distributed design environments and should be supported by an underlying system. Any synchronous access to data is conflict prone. Applying concurrency control and two phase commit are one option to be considered. But design processes also demand for cooperation between the designers. Negotiation about actions on the product under design and the early exchange of preliminary results are crucial issues. Controlled data access by itself does not fulfil all the needs for cooperation. We will present a new approach that relies on a concept and system model which integrates concurrent activities by a joint information space offering flexible protocols for cooperation on the shared objects. We will describe the customizability of the protocols to effectively support different cooperative scenarios.

Polynomial Convergence of a New Family of Primal-Dual Algorithms for Semidefinite Programming
Authors: Renato D. C. Monteiro, Takashi Tsuchiya
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

This paper establishes the polynomial convergence of a new class of primal-dual interior-point path-following feasible algorithms for semidefinite programming (SDP) whose search directions are obtained by applying Newton's method to the symmetric central path equation $$ (P X P^T)^{1/2}(P^{-T} S P^{-1}) ( P X P^T)^{1/2} - \mu I =0, $$ where P is a nonsingular matrix. Specifically, we show that the short-step path-following algorithm based on the Frobenius norm neighborhood and the semilong-step path-following algorithm based on the operator 2-norm neighborhood have $O(\sqrt{n}L)$ and O(nL) iteration-complexity bounds, respectively. When P = I, this yields the first polynomially convergent semilong-step algorithm based on a pure Newton direction. Restricting the scaling matrix P at each iteration to a certain subset of nonsingular matrices, we are able to establish an O(n3/2L) iteration complexity for the long-step path-following method. The resulting subclass of search directions contains both the Nesterov--Todd direction and the Helmberg--Rendl--Vanderbei--Wolkowicz/Kojima--Shindoh--Hara/Monteiro direction.

Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics, 1st edition
Authors: L. Velho, L. H. de Figueiredo, J. Anthony Gomes
Venue:  (1998)

:Implicit definition and description of geometric objects and surfaces plays a critical role in the appearance and manipulation of computer graphics. In addition, the mathematical definition of shapes, using an implicit form, has pivotal applications for geometric modeling, visualization and animation.Until recently, the parametric form has been by far the most popular geometric representation used in computer graphics and computer-aided design. Whereas parametric objects and the techniques associated with them have been exhaustively developed, the implicit form has been used as a complementary geometric representation, mainly in the restricted context of specific applications. However, recent developments in graphics are changing this situation, and the community is beginning to draw its attention to implicit objects. This is reflected in the current research of aspects related to this subject. Employing a coherent conceptual framework, Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics addresses the role of implicitly defined objects in the following parts: mathematical foundations of geometric models, implicit formulations for the specification of shapes, implicit primitives, techniques for constructing and manipulating implicit objects, modeling, rendering and animation implicit objects.
