Charting the course: assessing technology skills to steer the technology training program
Authors: Lisa Johnson
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

The assessment of technology skills is a necessary step in the technology training process. If technology staff is to meet the needs of faculty, staff, and students, campus customer needs must first be identified. The InfoTech Training team offers computer application training for MU campus customers (faculty, staff, and students).Matching MU's strategic goal of maximizing the use of technology with measurable outcomes is critical. To promote the use of technology resources through the Information and Access Technology (IAT) Services Department at the University of Missouri (MU), InfoTech Training assesses technology-training needs, and then responds by offering appropriate training opportunities and specialized services to campus customers. This paper concentrates on the data collection process and implementation strategies developed as a result of the 2001 campus-wide technology needs assessment.

Merging structured text using temporal knowledge
Authors: Anthony Hunter
Venue: Data Knowledge Engineering (2002)

Structured text is a general concept that is implicit in a variety of approaches in handling information. Syntactically, an item of structured text is a number of grammatically simple phrases together with a semantic label for each phrase. Items of structured text may be nested within larger items of structured text. Much information is potentially available as structured text including tagged text in XML, text in relational and object-oriented databases, and the output from information extraction systems in the form of instantiated templates. In a previous paper, we presented a framework for merging items of potentially inconsistent structured text [A. Hunter, Data & Knowledge Engineering 34 (2000) 305]. In this paper, we extend that framework by considering the need to use temporal knowledge. The primary aim of this paper is to specify the language and types of axioms required in this temporal knowledge.

Review of Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications (2nd ed.) by Mark de Berg, Marc van Kreveld, Mark Overmars, and Otfried Schwarzkopf
Authors: Hassan Masum
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (2000)

Computational Geometry is a wide-ranging introductory text which exposes readers to the main themes in modern computational geometry. Each chapter introduces a subfield of computational geometry, via natural problems and basic algorithms; exercises and notes help to flesh out the chapter material. This second edition of the book is obviously the product of much effort by the authors, and although some improvements are possible, on the whole this book is worth considering both as a text for a first computational geometry course and as a refresher on basic concepts.Features of interest include:Beginning each chapter with a motivating real-world example, to naturally introduce the algorithms. The solution of this example leads to the key algorithmic idea of the chapter.Emphasis on derivation of algorithms, as opposed to a cookbook-style presentation. The authors often spend a large amount of time to work through several suboptimal solutions for a problem before presenting the final one. While not suitable for the already-knowledgeable practitioner, this gives the far-larger category of students or other less-than-expert readers training in the process of generating new algorithms.Good layout, with wide margins containing intuition-generating diagrams. The Notes and Comments section at the end of each chapter also provides useful orientation to further algorithms and context in each subfield.Wide coverage of algorithms. As the authors say: "In general we have chosen the solution that is most easy to understand and implement. This is not necessarily the most efficient solution. We also took care that the book contains a good mixture of techniques like divide-and-conquer, plane sweep, and randomized algorithms. We decided not to treat all sorts of variations to the problems; we felt it is more important to introduce all main topics in computational geometry than to give more detailed information about a smaller number of topics."

The Approximability of Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Authors: Sanjeev Khanna, Madhu Sudan, Luca Trevisan, David P. Williamson
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

We study optimization problems that may be expressed as "Boolean constraint satisfaction problems." An instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem is given by m constraints applied to n Boolean variables. Different computational problems arise from constraint satisfaction problems depending on the nature of the "underlying" constraints as well as on the goal of the optimization task. Here we consider four possible goals: Max CSP (Min CSP) is the class of problems where the goal is to find an assignment maximizing the number of satisfied constraints (minimizing the number of unsatisfied constraints). Max Ones (Min Ones) is the class of optimization problems where the goal is to find an assignment satisfying all constraints with maximum (minimum) number of variables set to 1. Each class consists of infinitely many problems and a problem within a class is specified by a finite collection of finite Boolean functions that describe the possible constraints that may be used.Tight bounds on the approximability of every problem in Max CSP were obtained by Creignou [ J. Comput. System Sci., 51 (1995), pp. 511--522]. In this work we determine tight bounds on the "approximability" (i.e., the ratio to within which each problem may be approximated in polynomial time) of every problem in Max Ones, Min CSP, and Min Ones. Combined with the result of Creignou, this completely classifies all optimization problems derived from Boolean constraint satisfaction. Our results capture a diverse collection of optimization problems such as MAX 3-SAT, Max Cut, Max Clique, Min Cut, Nearest Codeword, etc. Our results unify recent results on the (in-)approximability of these optimization problems and yield a compact presentation of most known results. Moreover, these results provide a formal basis to many statements on the behavior of natural optimization problems that have so far been observed only empirically.
Using computers in science and technology education
Authors: Jari Lavonen, Veijo Meisalo, Matti Lattu, Liisa Leinonen, Tadeusz Wilusz
Venue: Working group reports from ITiCSE on Innovation and technology in computer science education (2001)

This working group wishes to promote interaction of computer scientists and educational researchers. Such an interaction would benefit not only educational sciences and computer science education but also contribute to computer science e.g. through behaviour metaphors in robotics. We have initiated an analysis of computer uses in education starting from applications especially in science and technology education. Having analysed various roles of computers in educational processes in the above area we have also identified technological requirements of modern learning environments and defined the concept of a rich learning environment. We use the Open Market metaphor to concretise this concept in two different cases. Finally, we present as an outcome of our cooperative analysis basic goals for technological literacy and a description of a technology literate student.

Designs, Graphs, Codes, and Their Links
Authors: P. J. Cameron, J. H. Van Lint
Venue:  (1991)

:Although design theory, graph theory and coding theory, had their origins in various areas of applied mathematics, today they are found under the umbrella of discrete mathematics. Here the authors have considerably reworked and expanded their earlier successful books on designs, graphs and codes, into an invaluable textbook. They do not seek to consider each of these three topics individually, but rather to stress the many and varied connections between them. The discrete mathematics needed is developed in the text, making this book accessible to any student with a background of undergraduate algebra. Many exercises and useful hints are included throughout, and a large number of references are given.
