Structural alignment of large&mdash;size proteins via lagrangian relaxation
Authors: Alberto Caprara, Giuseppe Lancia
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

We illustrate a new approach to the Contact Map Overlap problem for the comparison of protein structures. The approach is based on formulating the problem as an integer linear program and then relaxing in a Lagrangian way a suitable set of constraints. This relaxation is solved by computing a sequence of simple alignment problems, each in quadratic time, and near--optimal Lagrangian multipliers are found by subgradient optimization. By our approach we achieved a substantial speedup over the best existing methods. We were able to solve optimally for the first time instances for PDB proteins with about 1000 residues and 2000 contacts. Moreover, within a few hours we compared 780 pairs in a testbed of 40 large proteins, finding the optimal solution in 150 cases. Finally, we compared 10,000 pairs of proteins from a test set of 269 proteins in the literature, which took a couple of days on a PC.
"Type-completeness" as a language principle
Authors: Alan Demers, James Donahue
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1980)

In his recent Turing Lecture, John Backus delivered a trenchant argument for the proposition that "programming languages are in trouble." Backus claims this to be inevitable: the development of Algol-like languages must lead to this sorry state because it begins from faulty assumptions.A less radical interpretation of the difficulties of language design is that we still do not understand the fundamental principles that should guide our design efforts; the machines we use may limit our results, but our ignorance has far greater effect. As evidence to support this position, we can cite the difficulties of building successors to Algol 60 and Pascal. Both languages have been acclaimed as well-designed, but it has proved extremely difficult to capture just what they "got right." Thus, Hoare has claimed that "Algol 60 was not only a great improvement on its predecessors, but also on nearly all of its successors." [73a] The recent Ada design suggests that the same fate may befall Pascal.In this paper, we expand on an idea of Landin [66] to develop an important principle of programming languages: type-completeness. We argue that application of this principle is an effective tool in understanding problems of programming language design. In particular, type-completeness1. allows us to point out many of the flaws and inconsistencies in existing languages (so we can know what mistakes not to repeat) and2. provides a framework for the design of languages (or language families) that have wide variation in their changeable parts.Below, we present the principle of type-completeness and its ramifications for language design. We then discuss some common examples of incompleteness found in existing Algol-like languages. And we end by presenting the type structure of the type-complete programming language Russell, which has been designed by the authors. As we show, the flexibility provided in Russell by the combination of a small, rich type structure and type-completeness belie Backus's assertion of inherent weakness of vonNeumann languages.

Linear Optimal Control: H(2) and H (Infinity) Methods, 1st edition
Authors: Jeff B. Burl
Venue:  (1998)

:Behind most non-trivial user interface screens lie complex webs of code that many practitioners in the software industry find difficult to control. Despite the obvious power and sophistication of user interface development tools, the majority of user interface software is difficult to understand because it is coded without an overall design. In this book, Ian Horrocks presents a proven technique for designing event-driven software using the UCM architecture and the statechart notation. The state chart approach to constructing user interface software results in code that can be: written quickly and easily, tested using white box techniques, repeatedly enhanced over the lifetime of a system, modified with a minimal risk of introducing unwanted side-effects, regression tested without the need for full re-tests. This book provides a practical guide to constructing real user interfaces for real projects. It is primarily written for practicing software engineers, but will also be invaluable to students wishing to gain an insight into user interface construction.
Moshe: A group membership service for WANs
Authors: Idit Keidar, Jeremy Sussman, Keith Marzullo, Danny Dolev
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS) (2002)

We present Moshe, a novel scalable group membership algorithm built specifically for use in wide area networks (WANs), which can suffer partitions. Moshe is designed with three new significant features that are important in this setting: it avoids delivering views that reflect out-of-date memberships; it requires a single round of messages in the common case; and it employs a client-server design for scalability. Furthermore, Moshe's interface supplies the hooks needed to provide clients with full virtual synchrony semantics. We have implemented Moshe on top of a network event mechanism also designed specifically for use in a WAN. In addition to specifying the properties of the algorithm and proving that this specification is met, we provide empirical results of an implementation of Moshe running over the Internet. The empirical results justify the assumptions made by our design and exhibit good performance. In particular, Moshe terminates within a single communication round over 98&percnt; of the time. The experimental results also lead to interesting observations regarding the performance of membership algorithms over the Internet.

Weasel: a computer based system for providing non-visual access to music notation
Authors: B. P. Challis, A. D. N. Edwards
Venue: Issue 66 (January 2000) (2000)

Although we constantly rely on touch and sound on a daily basis, product designers rarely monopolise the potential for auditory and, in particular, tactile feedback. This is particularly true within computer interface design where there is still a trend to work with highly graphical interfaces using only a mouse and a keyboard for input. This kind of kind of reliance on visual interaction actively prevents blind people from using many common computer applications. At the University of York we have been exploring possibilities for non-visual computer interaction with a view to establishing a set of design principles that can be used within multimodal interface design. To help with this, we have been developing an experimental non-visual multimodal approach to accessing music notation (called Weasel) which is aimed specifically at blind music learners.
A powerful and SQL-compatible data model and query language for OLAP
Authors: Dennis Pedersen, Karsten Riis, Torben Bach Pedersen
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Australasian database conference - Volume 5 (2002)

In this paper we present the SQLM OLAP data model, formal algebra, and query language that, unlike current OLAP data models and languages, are both powerful, meaning that they support irregular dimension hierarchies, automatic aggregation of data, and correct aggregation of data, and SQL-compatible, allowing seamless integration with relational technology. We also consider the requirements to the data model posed by integration of OLAP data with external XML data. The concepts are illustrated with a real-world case study from the Business-to-Business electronic commerce (B2B) domain.
The temporal query language TQuel
Authors: Richard Snodgrass
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

Recently, attention has been focussed on historical databases (HDBs), representing an enterprise over time. We have developed a new language, TQuel, to query an HDB. TQuel is a superset of Quel, the query language in the Ingres relational database management system. This paper provides an overview of the language, motivating the various design decisions with the objective that it be a minimal extension, both syntactically and semantically, of Quel.

Verbal communication during cooperative object manipulation
Authors: Roy A. Ruddle, Justin CD Savage, Dylan M. Jones
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Collaborative virtual environments (2002)

Cooperation between multiple users in a virtual environment (VE) can take place at one of three levels, but it is only at the highest level that users can simultaneously interact with the same object. This paper describes a study in a straightforward real-world task (maneuvering a large object through a restricted space) was used to investigate object manipulation by pairs of participants in a VE, and focuses on the verbal communication that took place. This communication was analyzed using both categorizing and conversation analysis techniques. Of particular note was the sheer volume of communication that took place. One third of this was instructions from one participant to another of the locomotion and manipulation movements that they should make. Another quarter was general communication that was not directly related to performance of the experimental task, and often involved explicit statements of participants' actions or requests for clarification about what was happening. Further research is required to determine the extent to which haptic and auditory feedback reduce the need for inter-participant communication in collaborative tasks.
GEO-OUEL: a system for the manipulation and display of geographic data
Authors: Richard R. Berman, Michael Stonebraker
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1977)

This paper briefly summarizes the implementation of GEO-OUEL, a special purpose geographic information retrieval and display system. Basically, it is a rather small "front end" to a powerful general purpose relational data base system, INGRES, implemented at Berkeley. Also discussed are the problems that were discovered during the implementation of the original proposal (presented at the 1975 ACM SIGMOD/SIGGRAPH Workshop in Waterloo, Ontario) and the corrective steps taken. Lastly, experiments are described which indicate the performance penalty paid for this "front end" approach and the savings in development time realized.
A Time-Stepping Complementarity Approach for Frictionless Systems of Rigid Bodies
Authors: James A. Tzitzouris, Jong-Shi Pang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

This paper presents a time-stepping complementarity approach for computing a numerical trajectory of a system of rigid bodies under frictionless contact. Such a system is formulated as a time-dependent (ordinary) differential complementarity problem (DCP), which consists of an ordinary differential equation (ODE) coupled with a complementarity condition. The phenomenon of impact plays an essential role when modeling a mechanical system of this type. Within the time-stepping scheme, which uses a high-order ODE discretization, we include an impact detection routine and an impact law governing the behavior of the system over the duration of an impact. We report computational results for the application of the overall numerical scheme to computing the solution trajectories of several realistic mechanical systems.

Efficient delay computation methods for real-time traffic in an ATM network
Authors: Joseph Kee-Yin Ng, Shibin Song
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

ATM is a connection-oriented technology. Before two hosts can communicate, a connection has to be established between them. Consider a real-time communication application running on top of an ATM network. In order to provide the real-time service, we require the connection to provide a performance guarantee. Such deterministic guarantee can only be possible if there exists an absolute worst case delay bound on all the ATM cells within the real-time connection. In this paper, we first present a framework for this worst case delay within an ATM switch. Later on, in estimating the real-time arrival traffic, we use the Deterministic Bounding Interval Dependent (D-BIND) traffic model [11] to characterize the burstiness and the temporal correlation structure of a real-time message stream. We then derive the worst case delay bound for an ATM switch with some typical output port schedulers. We find out that our proposed method is no harder than the other existing methods in finding such worst case delay in terms of computation complexity. Hence, we have an efficient and effective way to estimate the worst case delay for the connection admission control for an ATM network

Evaluating the competitive effects of mergers of internet backbone providers
Authors: Stanley M. Besen, Jeffrey S. Spigel, Padmanabhan Srinagesh
Venue: ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) (2002)

This article analyzes the usefulness of the traffic measurement methodologies used by the European Commission (EC) and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in assessing the competitive effects of mergers of Internet backbone providers. The analysis concludes that the traffic ratios used by the EC to estimate market shares when it reviewed the merger application of MCI and WorldCom, and by the EC and the DOJ when they reviewed the proposed merger of Sprint and MCI WorldCom, have significant limitations. In particular, the article shows that these measurements provide a potentially misleading picture of the effect of a merger of backbone providers, even under the assumption that the Internet is a rigid hierarchy, and that this problem is likely to become worse as the use of secondary peering, multihoming, and intelligent content distribution services become more widespread.
