Distributed admission control for power-controlled cellular wireless systems
Authors: Mingbo Xiao, Ness B. Shroff, Edwin K. P. Chong
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

It is well known that power control can help to improve spectrum utilization in cellular wireless systems. However, many existing distributed power control algorithms do not work well without an effective connection admission control (CAC) mechanism, because they could diverge and result in dropping existing calls when an infeasible call is admitted. In this work, based on a system parameter defined as the discriminant, we propose two distributed CAC algorithms for a power-controlled system. Under these CAC schemes, an infeasible call is rejected early, and incurs only a small disturbance to existing calls, while a feasible call is admitted and the system converges to the Pareto optimal power assignment. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of our algorithms.

XML for the rest of us
Authors: Jonathan Price
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

As the Web drives technical communicators to move from creating documents to managing the flow of content in the form of thousands of interactive objects, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) provides a standard way to describe that content, grab information from databases, enable business-to-business commerce, and personalize the information provided customers at online stores. This workshop gives non-programmers an overview of the benefits and drawbacks of XML, then shows you how to create a well-formed XML document with standard mark up tags. After this workshop, you will be able toIdentify reasons your organization may need to switch to XMLMark up documents with XML tagsIdentify current tools for creating and publishing in XMLIn-class exercises help you try out what you are learning. An extensive handout provides full details of the material we are studying, providing a useful reference when you return to work. You do not need to know HTML, but some familiarity with Web publishing will help you understand the context in which XML becomes important. This course does not give nuts-and-bolts instruction on any particular tool, and we do not go into the creation of Document Type Definitions (DTDs) or extensible stylesheets (XSLT).

Formative processes with applications to the decision problem in set theory I: powerset and singleton operators
Authors: Domenico Cantone, Pietro Ursino
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

This paper introduces formative processes, composed by transitive partitions. Given a family F of sets, a formative process ending in the Venn partition egr; of F is shown to exist. Sufficient criteria are also singled out for a transitive partition to model (via a function from set variables to unions of sets in the partition) all set-literals modeled by egr;. On the basis of such criteria a procedure is designed that mimics a given formative process by another where sets have finite rank bounded by C (| egr;|), with C a specific computable function. As a by-product, one of the core results on decidability in computable set theory is rediscovered, namely the one that regards the satisfiability of unquantified set-theoretic formulae involving Boolean operators, the singleton-former, and the powerset operator. The method described (which is able to exhibit a set-solution when the answer is affirmative) can be extended to solve the satisfiability problem for broader fragments of set theory.

Datalog LITE: a deductive query language with linear time model checking
Authors: Georg Gottlob, Erich Grädel, Helmut Veith
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL) (2002)

We present Datalog LITE, a new deductive query language with a linear-time model-checking algorithm, that is, linear time data complexity and program complexity. Datalog LITE is a variant of Datalog that uses stratified negation, restricted variable occurrences and a limited form of universal quantification in rule bodies.Despite linear-time evaluation, Datalog LITE is highly expressive: It encompasses popular modal and temporal logics such as CTL or the alternation-free &mu;-calculus. In fact, these formalisms have natural presentations as fragments of Datalog LITE. Further, Datalog LITE is equivalent to the alternation-free portion of guarded fixed-point logic. Consequently, linear-time model checking algorithms for all mentioned logics are obtained in a unified way.The results are complemented by inexpressibility proofs to the effect that linear-time fragments of stratified Datalog have too limited expressive power.

Probabilistic modeling of transaction data with applications to profiling, visualization, and prediction
Authors: Igor V. Cadez, Padhraic Smyth, Heikki Mannila
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Transaction data is ubiquitous in data mining applications. Examples include market basket data in retail commerce, telephone call records in telecommunications, and Web logs of individual page-requests at Web sites. Profiling consists of using historical transaction data on individuals to construct a model of each individual's behavior. Simple profiling techniques such as histograms do not generalize well from sparse transaction data. In this paper we investigate the application of probabilistic mixture models to automatically generate profiles from large volumes of transaction data. In effect, the mixture model represents each individual's behavior as a linear combination of "basis transactions." We evaluate several variations of the model on a large retail transaction data set and show that the proposed model provides improved predictive power over simpler histogram-based techniques, as well as being relatively scalable, interpretable, and flexible. In addition we point to applications in outlier detection, customer ranking, interactive visualization, and so forth. The paper concludes by comparing and relating the proposed framework to other transaction-data modeling techniques such as association rules.

Acknowledgment procedures at radio link control level in GPRS
Venue: Wireless Networks (2001)

In this paper, we investigate the acknowledgment procedures used at radio link control level in General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). The GPRS is a new GSM service, which is currently being standardized by ETSI for GSM Phase 2+ and it provides packet switched data services over GSM network resources. The role of acknowledgment procedures is to assure the delivery of packets on GPRS radio interface. This paper gives a brief description of GPRS radio interface with a special attention to the Radio Link Control and Medium Access Control (RLC/MAC) layer procedures. Particularly, the acknowledgment parameters and operations are described and their performance is evaluated. The delay introduced by acknowledgment procedures is studied analytically. In order to ameliorate the performance of RLC acknowledgment mechanism, we propose and describe a new additional hybrid FEC/ARQ mechanism, which can operate with the current one. The purpose of new mechanism is to decrease the number of control blocks used for RLC acknowledgment mechanism and thus reduces the delay requested for a packet delivery. After presenting the channel models used, we evaluate by simulation the performance of acknowledgment procedures presented in ETSI specifications and the proposed one over a stationary channel model and over a noisy wireless channel model affected by burst of errors.

Proceedings of the 2001 ACM Symposium on Document engineering
Venue: Document Engineering (2001)

Document engineering is an emerging discipline within computer science that investigates sys-tems for documents in any form and in all media. Document engineering is concerned with prin-ciples, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage and maintain documents, just as software engineering examines the same issues for software.The importance of documents and document technology is difficult to over-emphasize. Docu-ment software was one of the key reasons for the widespread adoption of personal computers. Document technology is one of the key underpinnings of the World Wide Web, in the form of representation languages, concepts of structure and hypermedia, and analysis and retrieval tech-niques. Document technology is so useful that it is now being extended to support applications such as interprocess communication that have previously used special-purpose encodings and techniques.This proceedings is the research record of the inaugural meeting of the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng '01), held November 2001 in Atlanta. DocEng '01 is the de-scendant of several different conferences: the long series of biennial Electronic Publishing (EP) conferences and Principles of Document Processing workshops, the 1988 ACM Conference on Document Processing Systems, and the 1981 ACM Symposium on Text Manipulation.

Shape tracking and production using hidden Markov models
Authors: Terry Caelli, Andrew McCabe, Garry Briscoe
Venue: Hidden Markov models: applications in computer vision (2001)

This paper is concerned with an application of Hidden markov Models (HMMs) to the generation of shape boundaries from image features. In the proposed model, shape classes are defined by sequences of "shape states" each of which has a probability distribution of expected image feature types (features "symbols"). The tracking procedure uses a generalization of the well-known Viterbi method by replacing its search by a type of "beam-search" so allowing the procedure, at any time, to consider less likely features (symbols) as well the search for an instantiable optimal state sequences. We have evaluated the model's performace on a variety of image shape types and have also developed a new performance measure defined by an expected Hamming distance between predicted and observed symbol sequences. Result point to the use of this type of model for the depiction of shape boundaries when it is necessary to have accurate boundary annotations as, for example, occurs in Cartogrpahy.
