Venue:  (2001)

:Both aspiring and experienced Perl programmers will benefit from the expertise in this book, whether they are looking to develop serious applications, improve their productivity, or simply learn a more powerful and portable replacement for shell scripts. Whatever the task at hand, this book is an invaluable, detailed resource of the Perl language.Author Biography: Peter Wainwright is a software consultant and developer. He gained most of his early programming experience on Solaris, writing C applications. He then discovered Linux, shortly followed by Perl and Apache, and has been programming happily there ever since. When he is not developing software or writing professionally, he spends much of his free time pursuing his interest in space tourism and maintaining the ever growing Space Future website at www.spacefuture.com, which is based on a Linux server running Apache, naturally. Aldo Calpini is well known in the Perl community for his many important Win32 modules. His active participation on several mailing lists helped the Perl language grow in the Win32 community. His programming activity begun twenty years ago, and he still enjoys hacking every kind of computer he can get his hands on. He works today as lead programmer in an Italian Internet start-up company. Arthur Corliss has been programming since buying his first home computer a Timex Sinclair 1000 with a whopping 2K of RAM (which he still has). Having worked his way through several languages, Perl has become his most frequent language of choice at his latest venture, Gallant Technologies, Inc., a software development company. In his own time he continues the madness by working on the Curses::Widgets and Curses::Forms modules, which he authored and is available on CPAN. Simon Cozens is an Open Source programmer and author; he writes for the Perl Journal, www.perl.com, and other sites, and is also the author of Wrox Press' 'Beginning Perl'. He is a member of the Perl development team, and his hobbies include reading, typography and the Greek language and culture. Chris Nandor, pudge@pobox.com, is a programmer for OSDN, working on the Slashdot code. He co-authored the book "MacPerl: Power and Ease" from Prime Time Freeware, writes the Perl News column for the Perl Journal, and runs the web sites http://use.perl.org/ and http://news.perl.org/. Aalhad Saraf is in the Systems Software Group in IBM Labs. He has been with Linux since 1995. Perl, C and C++ are his favourite tools. Has a Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Pune, a Post Graduate Diploma awarded by the 'Centre for Development of Advanced Computing' (a scientific society of the Ministry of IT, Govt. of India). He has worked on microcontrollers/embedded systems and hand held computing devices in Syslab Automation and on an interactive gaming server for DishnetDSL - one of India's leading ISPs. He also teaches Perl, Software Engineering and Quality systems during his spare time.

Second Order Numerical Methods for First Order Hamilton--Jacobi Equations
Authors: Adam Szpiro, Paul Dupuis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

We present practical numerical methods which produce provably second order approximations for a class of stationary first order Hamilton--Jacobi partial differential equations. Using probabilistic methods, we derive high order asymptotic expansions for a first order method and then use those results to design second order methods. We prove second order convergence for the solution and for its gradient on a subset of the domain where the solution is smooth. Although we limit our attention to second order schemes, in principle the techniques in this paper can be extended to arbitrarily high order methods. Examples illustrate the rate of convergence as well as global sharp resolution of discontinuities. The Hamilton--Jacobi equations we consider correspond to deterministic optimal control problems, and our rate of convergence results are valid for the value functions and for the optimal feedback controls.

The Efficiency of Resolution and Davis--Putnam Procedures
Authors: Paul Beame, Richard Karp, Toniann Pitassi, Michael Saks
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We consider several problems related to the use of resolution-based methods for determining whether a given boolean formula in conjunctive normal form is satisfiable. First, building on the work of Clegg, Edmonds, and Impagliazzo in [Proceedings of the Twenty-Eighth Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, Philadelphia, PA, 1996, ACM, New York, 1996, pp. 174--183], we give an algorithm for unsatisfiability that when given an unsatisfiable formula of F finds a resolution proof of F. The runtime of our algorithm is subexponential in the size of the shortest resolution proof of F. Next, we investigate a class of backtrack search algorithms for producing resolution refutations of unsatisfiability, commonly known as Davis--Putnam procedures, and provide the first asymptotically tight average-case complexity analysis for their behavior on random formulas. In particular, for a simple algorithm in this class, called ordered DLL, we prove that the running time of the algorithm on a randomly generated k-CNF formula with n variables and m clauses is $2^{\Theta(n(n/m)^{1/(k-2)})}$ with probability $1-o(1)$. Finally, we give new lower bounds on $\mbox{res}(F)$, the size of the smallest resolution refutation of F, for a class of formulas representing the pigeonhole principle and for randomly generated formulas. For random formulas, Chvatal and Szemeredi [J. ACM, 35 (1988), pp. 759--768] had shown that random 3-CNF formulas with a linear number of clauses require exponential size resolution proofs, and Fu [On the Complexity of Proof Systems, Ph. D. thesis, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, 1995] extended their results to k-CNF formulas. These proofs apply only when the number of clauses is $\Omega(n \log n)$. We show that a lower bound of the form $2^{n^{\gamma}}$ holds with high probability even when the number of clauses is $n^{(k+2)/4-\epsilon}$.
Mobility and performance modeling in cellular communication networks
Authors: P. Camarda, G. Schiraldi, F. Talucci, R. Valla
Venue: ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review (1997)

In this paper, we will show a simple analytical model for cellular communication networks performance evaluation. The model assumes a finite population of mobiles moving in a finite number of cells. A model of this type allows us to evaluate the effects on system performance of the following factors: Fixed Channel Allocation (FCA) scheme, user load, mobility and distribution of users among cells. Numerical simulation experiments show that predictions of this simple model are acceptable in a wide range of mobility and for light to moderate load conditions. A discussion about these assumptions will show that this model is well suited for future pico-cellular system analysis.

Common expression analysis in database applications
Authors: Sheldon Finkelstein
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

Independent optimization of database requests overlooks potential savings which can be achieved when they are optimized collectively. An intuitive model for queries called the query graph supports common expression detection for optimization of a stream of requests. We describe how ad hoc query processing can be improved using intermediate results and answers produced from earlier queries, without significantly impacting processing costs when no common expressions are found. We have written a Pascal program, COMMON, which implements a variation of the algorithm which we describe.

Comparison between the complexity of a function and the complexity of its graph
Authors: Bruno Durand, Sylvain Porrot
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This paper investigates in terms of Kolmogorov complexity the differences between the information necessary to compute a recursive function and the information contained in its graph. Our first result is that the complexity of the initial parts of the graph of a recursive function, although bounded, has almost never a limit. The second result is that the complexity of these initial parts approximate the complexity of the function itself in most cases (and in the average) but not always.

SLIM: Short Cycle Time and Low Inventory in Manufacturing at Samsung Electronics
Authors: Robert C. Leachman, Jeenyoung Kang, Vincent Lin
Venue: Interfaces (2002)

SLIM is a set of methodologies and scheduling applications for managing cycle time in semiconductor manufacturing. SLIM includes methodology for calculating target cycle times and target WIP levels for individual manufacturing steps, heuristic algorithms for factory floor scheduling, and optimization-based capacity analysis. Between 1996 and 1999, Samsung Electronics Corp., Ltd., implemented SLIM in all its semiconductor manufacturing facilities. It reduced manufacturing cycle times to fabricate dynamic random access memory devices from more than 80 days to less than 30. Considering the decline of selling prices for dynamic random access memory devices, SLIM enabled Samsung to capture an additional $1 billion in sales revenue compared to the revenue it would have realized had cycle times not been reduced.
Spread Spectrum CDMA, 1 edition
Authors: Steven Lee, Steve Lee Short
Venue:  (2002)

In the past 7 years CDMA (Code Division Multiplexed Access) has grown from a small experiment to the technology that is going to replace all existing wireless methods in North America and around the world, replacing even GSM, which up to now has been deeply entrenched in Europe and elsewhere. Though many books cover it conceptually, there are few that deal in the application of CDMA to the day-to-day functioning of the wireless network. This book is focused on the workplace needs of RF managers and engineers. Mathematically difficult material has been culled from the body of the book and placed in carefully organized appendices, so readers have access to derivations but don’t have to wade through them to find the solutions they’re looking for. And unlike any existing CDMA book, this details the similarities and differences between the 2G IS-95 and 3G IS-2000 standards, focusing on the many issues that changeover is going face.

Web Caching
Authors: Duane Wessels
Venue:  (2001)

:On the World Wide Web, speed and efficiency are vital. Users have little patience for slow web pages, while network administrators want to make the most of their available bandwidth. A properly designed web cache reduces network traffic and improves access times to popular web sitesa boon to network administrators and web users alike. Web Caching hands you all the technical information you need to design, deploy, and operate an effective web caching service. It starts with the basics of how web caching works, from the HTTP headers that govern cachability to cache validation and replacement algorithms. Topics covered in this book include: Designing an effective cache solution Configuring web browsers to use a cache Setting up a collection of caches that can talk to each other Configuring an interception cache or proxy Monitoring and fine-tuning the performance of a cache Configuring web servers to cooperate with web caches Benchmarking cache products The book also covers the important political aspects of web caching, including privacy, intellectual property, and security issues. Internet service providers, large corporations, or educational institutionsin short, any network that provides connectivity to a wide variety of userscan reap enormous benefit from running a well-tuned web caching service. Web Caching shows you how to do it right.

Generalized Augmented Matrix Preconditioning Approach and its Application to Iterative Solution of Ill-Conditioned Algebraic Systems
Authors: Alexander Padiy, Owe Axelsson, Ben Polman
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

The present work is devoted to a class of preconditioners based on the augmented matrix approach considered earlier by two of the present authors. It presents some generalizations of the subspace-correction schemes studied earlier and gives a brief comparison of the developed technique with a somewhat similar "deflation" algorithm.The developed preconditioners are able to improve significantly an eigenvalue distribution of certain severely ill-conditioned algebraic systems by using properly chosen projection matrices, which correct the low-frequency components in the spectrum. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is the possibility of using inexact solvers within the projectors. Another attractive feature of the developed method is that it can be easily combined with other preconditioners, for instance, those which correct the high-frequency eigenmodes.
