Data reduction in surface approximation
Authors: Rossana Morandi, Alessandra Sestini
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

Data reduction is a basic tool when a huge amount of data is given, and so it is extremely useful in surface approximation. In this paper we consider such a problem in the case of gridded data, and we propose the use of a two-stage approach in order to have a remarkable data reduction and, at the same time, a good approximation of the given data. In the first stage, a significant set of points is selected through a sampling strategy solving a suitable nonlinear system by means of the iterative Jacobi method. In the second stage, the least-squares approximating surface is computed using a "generalization" of the well known inverse multiquadric basis functions. Numerical results are given to show the performance of the method.

The design and evaluation of an interactive geo-data analysis and display system
Authors: P. E. Mantey
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

An interactive geo-data analysis and display system (GADS) has been implemented to support research on man-computer problem-solving. The focus is on problems involving data which can be related to a geographical location. The research goal is to develop systems which non-programmers can use to apply job-specific experience to the definition and solution of instructured problems. The systems must enable users to select, display, manipulate, and interpret data in a sequence which they determine during interaction. To support this requirement GADS provides a data extraction technique for accessing data stored in a variety of files, and a set of data analysis and display functions for conversational problem exploration and solution. In a case-study evaluation, police officers used GADS to solve a manpower allocation problem. The evaluation results identify user characteristics which the system must support and illustrate the value of interactive-problem solving systems.A video tape will show the architecture of the system and will illustrate its use in a manpower allocation problem.

Programming Java: An Introduction to Programming Using Java, 2nd edition
Authors: Rick Decker, Stuart Hirshfield
Venue:  (1999)

:This book provides a lab-based introduction to programming, using Java as the programming language of choice. Decker and Hirshfield introduce students to Java and object-oriented programming (OOP) by presenting the empowering features of Java - and OOP classes, packages and inheritance - first, and bringing in the algorithmic details later. The first part of the book is devoted to using and experimenting with Java's Abstract Windowing Tool kit (the "AWT"), providing students with code that is algorithmically simple but produces interesting graphical results. Then, in the second half, students add code to implement these graphical shells (GUIs), resulting in a variety of visually appealing and functional programs. By following this interface-first approach, students effectively prototype their Java programs before writing the detailed code. All code examples in the text are updated to Java 2. The accompanying Lab Manual (with sample programs), developed by the authors, supports the example programs discussed in the text. This construction directly links the lab experience with the reading and lectures. The Second Edition of the Lab Manual has been fully updated to Java 2, the latest version of Java.

The bits and flops of the n-hop multilateration primitive for node localization problems
Authors: Andreas Savvides, Heemin Park, Mani B. Srivastava
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Wireless sensor networks and applications (2002)

The recent advances in MEMS, embedded systems and wireless communication technologies are making the realization and deployment of networked wireless microsensors a tangible task. Vital to the success of wireless microsensor networks is the ability of microsensors to ``collectively perform sensing and computation''. In this paper, we study one of the fundamental challenges in sensor networks, node localization. The collaborative multilateration presented here, enables ad-hoc deployed sensor nodes to accurately estimate their locations by using known beacon locations that are several hops away and distance measurements to neighboring nodes. To prevent error accumulation in the network, node locations are computed by setting up and solving a global non-linear optimization problem. The solution is presented in two computation models, centralized and a fully distributed approximation of the centralized model. Our simulation results show that using the fully distributed model, resource constrained sensor nodes can collectively solve a large non-linear optimization problem that none of the nodes can solve individually. This approach results in significant savings in computation and communication, that allows fine-grained localization to run on a low cost sensor node we have developed.

The Wired Neighborhood
Authors: Stephen Doheny-Farina
Venue:  (1998)

:Are communication technologies ushering in a wondrous new age of computer networks that connect people into worldwide virtual communities of like-minded individuals? Or are global computer networks isolating us from real relationships and from our society, as we stare into a screen instead of interacting face to face? In this eloquent and thoughtful book, Stephen Doheny-Farina explores the nature of cyberspace and the increasing virtualization of everyday life. He occupies a middle ground between these two extreme views of the net, arguing that electronic neighborhoods should be less important than geophysical neighborhoods in all their integrity, and that we must use the new technologies not to escape from our troubled communities but to reinvigorate them. Doheny-Farina offers a critical perspective on virtual reality and its social impact, showing us how people meet and converse on the net, how they teach and learn, and how they establish workplaces that can accompany them wherever they go. Along the way he reveals the advantages and hazards of making the computer the center of our public and private lives. Doheny-Farina argues that once we begin to divorce ourselves from geographic place and start investing ourselves in virtual communities, we further the dissolution of our real, dying communities. He speaks out in favor of a movement called civic networking, which promotes the proliferation of networks that originate locally to organize community information and culture and to foster pride in and responsibility to our neighborhoods.
Edgebreaker: a simple compression for surfaces with handles
Authors: Hélio Lopes, Geovan Tavares, Jarek Rossignac, Andrzej Szymczak, Alla Safanova
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

The Edgebreaker is an efficient scheme for compressing triangulated surfaces. A surprisingly simple implementation of Edgebreaker has been proposed for surfaces homeomorphic to a sphere. It uses the Corner-Table data structure, which represents the connectivity of a triangulated surface by two tables of integers, and encodes them with less than 2 bits per triangle. We extend this simple formulation to deal with triangulated surfaces with handles and present the detailed pseudocode for the encoding and decoding algorithms (which take one page each). We justify the validity of the proposed approach using the mathematical formulation of the Handlebody theory for surfaces, which explains the topological changes that occur when two boundary edges of a portion of a surface are identified.

Reducing power requirements of instruction scheduling through dynamic allocation of multiple datapath resources
Authors: Dmitry Ponomarev, Gurhan Kucuk, Kanad Ghose
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

The "one-size-fits-all" philosophy used for permanently allocating datapath resources in today's superscalar CPUs to maximize performance across a wide range of applications results in the overcommitment of resources in general. To reduce power dissipation in the datapath, the resource allocations can be dynamically adjusted based on the demands of applications. We propose a mechanism to dynamically, simultaneously and independently adjust the sizes of the issue queue (IQ), the reorder buffer (ROB) and the load/store queue (LSQ) based on the periodic sampling of their occupancies to achieve significant power savings with minimal impact on performance. Resource upsizing is done more aggressively (compared to downsizing) using the relative rate of blocked dispatches to limit the performance penalty. Our results are validated by the execution of SPEC 95 benchmark suite on a substantially modified version of Simplescalar simulator, where the IQ, the ROB, the LSQ and the register files are implemented as separate structures, as is the case with most practical implementations. For the SPEC 95 benchmarks, the use of our technique in a 4-way superscalar processor results in a power savings in excess of 70% within individual components and an average power savings of 53% for the IQ, LSQ and ROB combined for the entire benchmark suite with an average performance penalty of only 5%.
