Canonical view update support through boolean algebras of components
Authors: Stephen J. Hegner
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

The problem of reflecting updates from a view schema to the base schema in relational database systems is investigated. The basic strategy which is employed is that of translation relative to a constant complement, as developed by Bancilhon and Spyratos. We deal in particular with one of the apparent drawbacks of the constant complement approach, namely, the nonuniqueness of such complements. Our approach is to use only a specific set of well-behaved views, termed the components of the schema, as complements. The components form a Boolean algebra, and update reflection to the base schema is independent of choice of complement, as long as the complement is a component. We argue that such reflections of updates are the "natural" ones which should be allowed.
On-line load balancing of temporary tasks revisited
Authors: Tak-Wah Lam, Hing-Fung Ting, Kar-Keung To, Wai-Ha Wong

On the unification of data and program abstraction in Ada
Authors: Peter Wegner
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1983)

Ada is rich in the variety of its abstraction mechanisms. It has both a data abstraction mechanism (packages with private data types) that supports a functional programming style and a program abstraction mechanism (generic program units) that supports an object-oriented program style. Tradeoffs between data and program abstraction are examined and it is pointed out that Ada discourages program abstraction because program units are not first-class objects. It is shown how program units could be made into first-class objects by introducing closures as values for functions and records with function components as values for packages. Further unification by allowing types to be first-class objects conflicts with the requirement of compile-time type invariance. The relaxation of this requirement in a manner that preserves type consistency is examined and leads to a notion of value for types as tuples of operations. It is suggested in the conclusion that our understanding of abstraction for object-oriented languages and of other language design, implementation, and environment issues will have progressed sufficiently by 1985 to warrant the design of a successor to Ada by the late 1980s.

Use of directed acyclic graph analysis in generating instructions for multiple users
Authors: Margaret Mitchell
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 Asia-Pacific symposium on Information visualisation - Volume 9 (2001)

Directed acyclic graphs are a common method of representing groups of tasks that have an underlying partial order. Graphs have the advantage of easily representing nonlinear relationships, but relationships between groups of tasks may go unnoticed as a group of tasks becomes large. Textual instructions have the advantage of allowing explicit reference to tasks or groups of tasks, but they do not facilitate users working in parallel. We present the use of directed acyclic graph analysis as a means of overcoming this problem. We use this as a means of text planning, producing instruction output that embodies the advantages of both graphical and textual representations.
Adobe PhotoShop 7 Web Design: With Golive 6
Authors: Michael Baumgardt
Venue:  (2002)

:Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard when it comes to image editing -- and Photoshop 7 is one of Adobe's best updates so far. Although there is no shortage of books on Photoshop techniques, few of them recognize the needs of Web designers for targeted, practical information on topics like compression, browser specifications, color control, and image optimization. Renowned author and designer Michael Baumgardt fills that void with this full-color guide to Adobe Photoshop 7 directed at Web designers. His long experience with design and Web technologies informs his clear, no-nonsense approach. Because many designers depend on Adobe's Web site development tool, GoLive, to bring their designs to the Internet, he's included helpful sections on combining Photoshop and GoLive 6.

Singularly Perturbed Control Systems with One-Dimensional Fast Dynamics
Authors: Zvi Artstein, Arie Leizarowitz
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

The order reduction approach to singularly perturbed control systems suggests employing as a variational limit the differential algebraic system obtained when the small parameter is set to be zero. It is known that the method is valid only under restrictive convergence conditions on the fast dynamics. We verify in this paper that, when the fast state variable is one-dimensional, the order reduction method is valid in general. This is true, however, when appropriate relaxation is allowed in the reduced-order system. We also indicate how to extract near optimal solutions to the original system from optimal solutions of the order reduction one along the traditional reasoning of separating time scales. Examples are displayed, showing that, without allowing the relaxation, the order reduction may not provide the correct limit.

How Many Bits are Needed to Store Term Frequencies?
Authors: Martin Franz, J. Scott McCarley
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Search algorithms in most current text retrieval systems use index data structures extracted from the original text documents. In this paper we focus on reducing the size of the indices by reducing the amount of space dedicated to store term frequencies. In experiments using TREC Ad Hoc [2, 3] corpora and query sets, we show that it is possible to store the term frequency in only two bits without decreasing retrieval performance.
A secure multicast protocol with copyright protection
Authors: Hao-hua Chu, Lintian Qiao, Klara Nahrstedt
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2002)

We present a simple, efficient, and secure multicast protocol with copyright protection in an open and insecure network environment. There is a wide variety of multimedia applications that can benefit from using our secure multicast protocol, e.g., the commercial pay-per-view video multicast, or highly secure military intelligence video conference. Our secure multicast protocol is designed to achieve the following goals. (1) It can run in any open network environment. It does not rely on any security mechanism on intermediate network switches or routers. (2) It can be built on top of any existing multicast architecture. (3) Our key distribution protocol is both secure and robust in the presence of long delay or membership message. (4) It can support dynamic group membership, e.g., JOIN/LEAVE/EXPEL operations, in a network bandwidth efficient manner. (5) It can provide copyright protection for the information provider. (6) It can help to identify insiders in the multicast session who are leaking information to the outside world. We have implemented a prototype system which validates our secure multicast protocol and evaluated it against various performance matrices. The experimental results are very encouraging, but also show where new engineering approaches need to be deployed to conform fully to the design goals.

Performance evaluation model for multicomputer systems
Authors: O. B. Efremides, M. P. Bekakos, D. J. Evans
Venue: Neural, Parallel Scientific Computations (2002)

The primary constraining factor of the overall performance of a multicomputer system is communication delay. In this work a performance evaluation framework for a distributed memory parallel computer system is investigated. The evaluation is carried out using a synthetic dynamic workload developed to evaluate both the communication and the computational cost. A sparse matrix, specifying the workload, is produced according to a set of parameters and it is utilized by the sparse matrix - dense vector multiplication algorithm. The procedure is tested evaluating the performance of gigacubes of the Parcytec GCel3/512 message passing parallel system.
