CQLF---a query language for CODASYL-type databases
Authors: Frank Manola, Alain Pirotte
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

This paper describes CQLF (CODASYL Query Language, Flat) [MAN081]. CQLF is a high level language for accessing and manipulating data in databases described using the 1981 ANSI dpANS version of the CODASYL Data Description Language [ANSI81]. CQLF has similarities to typical relational languages, such as SQL [ASTR76, CHAM76] and QUEL [STON76]. CQLF provides capabilities for querying and operating on databases described both in a "relational style" (having no CODASYL sets, using only values to represent interrecord relationships, and having records with no arrays), and in a "network style" (using CODASYL sets to represent interrecord relationships, and having records containing arrays).
Apoo: an environment for a first course in assembly language programming
Authors: Rogério Reis, Nelma Moreira
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

Teaching the very basic concepts of a computer architecture, instruction set and operation, based on a real micro-processor is usually an unfruitful task as the essential notions are obscured by the specific details of its architecture. A machine emulator has the benefit of providing a portable environment that can run in several platforms and that can be easily adapted for pedagogical purposes. In this work we present an environment for a first course in assembly language programming that aims to be a flexible and effective pedagogical tool.

The Geometry of the Scroll Compressor
Authors: Jens Gravesen, Christian Henriksen
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

The scroll compressor is an ingenious machine used for compressing air or refrigerant; it was originally invented in 1905 by Léon Creux. The classical design consists of two nested identical scrolls given by circle involutes, one of which is rotated through $\text{180}^{\circ}$ with respect to the other. By specifying not a parametrization of the curve, but instead the radius of curvature as a function of tangent direction and using the intrinsic equation of a planar curve, the design can be changed in a way that allows all relevant geometrical quantities to be calculated in closed analytical form.
Extension of the Perron--Frobenius Theorem to Homogeneous Systems
Authors: Dirk Aeyels, Patrick De Leenheer
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

This paper deals with a particular class of positive systems. The state components of a positive system are positive or zero for all positive times. These systems are often encountered in applied areas such as chemical engineering or biology. It is shown that for this particular class the first orthant contains an invariant ray in its interior. An invariant ray generalizes the concept of an eigenvector of linear systems to nonlinear homogeneous systems. Then sufficient conditions for uniqueness of this ray are given. The main result states that the vector field on an invariant ray determines the stability properties of the zero solution with respect to initial conditions in the first orthant. The asymptotic behavior of the solutions is examined. Finally, we compare our results to the Perron--Frobenius theorem, which gives a detailed picture of the dynamical behavior of positive linear systems.
Stabilization in Probability of Nonlinear Stochastic Systems with Guaranteed Cost
Authors: S. Battilotti, A. De Santis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

We deal with nonlinear dynamical systems, consisting of a linear nominal part plus model uncertainties, nonlinearities, and both additive and multiplicative random noise, modeled as a Wiener process. In particular, we study the problem of finding suitable measurement feedback control laws such that the resulting closed-loop system is stable in some probabilistic sense and a given cost functional is minimized. We give a Lyapunov-based separation result which splits the control design into a state feedback problem and a filtering problem. Finally, we point out constructive algorithms for solving the state feedback and filtering problems with arbitrarily large region of attraction for a wide class of nonlinear systems, which at least include feedback linearizable systems.
Deriving operational software specifications from system goals
Authors: Emmanuel Letier, Axel van Lamsweerde
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGSOFT symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2002)

Goal orientation is an increasingly recognized paradigm for eliciting, modeling, specifying and analyzing software requirements. Goals are statements of intent organized in AND/OR refinement structures; they range from high-level, strategic concerns to low-level, technical requirements on the software-to-be and assumptions on its environment. The operationalization of system goals into specifications of software services is a core aspect of the requirements elaboration process for which little systematic and constructive support is available. In particular, most formal methods assume such operational specifications to be given and focus on their a posteriori analysis.The paper considers a formal, constructive approach in which operational software specifications are built incrementally from higher-level goal formulations in a way that guarantees their correctness by construction. The operationalization process is based on formal derivation rules that map goal specifications to specifications of software operations; more specifically, these rules map real-time temporal logic specifications to sets of pre-, post- and trigger conditions. The rules define operationalization patterns that may be used for guiding and documenting the operationalization process while hiding all formal reasoning details; the patterns are formally proved correct once and for all. The catalog of operationalization patterns is structured according to a rich taxonomy of goal specification patterns.
Personal and Social Navigation of Information Space, 1st edition
Authors: Alan J. Munro, Kristina Höök, D. R. Benyon
Venue:  (1999)

:Social navigation is a vibrant new field which examines how we navigate information spaces in 'real' and 'virtual' environments, how we orient and guide ourselves, and how we interact with others to find our way. This approach brings a new way of thinking about how we design information spaces, emphasising our need to collaborate with others, and follow the trails of their activities in these spaces.. "Social Navigation of Information Space is the first major work in this field and includes contributions by many of the originators and key thinkers. It will be of particular interest to researchers and students in areas related to CSCW and human computer interaction, and also to researchers in cognitive psychology, social psychology, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, architecture and anthropology.

On GMRES-Equivalent Bounded Operators
Authors: Leonid Knizhnerman
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

Given a bounded linear operator A in a Hilbert space $\calH$ and a nonzero vector $\mbox{\eufm r}\in\calH$, we construct a unitary operator U and (under some conditions) bounded self-adjoint operators P and T (nonnegative definite and indefinite, respectively) such that all the residual Krylov subspaces of $(A,\mbox{\eufm r})$, $(U,\mbox{\eufm r})$, $(P,\mbox{\eufm r})$, and $(T,\mbox{\eufm r})$ of the same dimension for the equation $Ax=\mbox{\eufm r}$ are equal. When possible (for example, for U and P, provided 0 is outside the field of values of A), we estimate a gap in the spectrum of U and the condition numbers of P and T. Some attainability results are also established.It is shown that some analogous matrix assertions are valid, which can be obtained by means of degenerating the operator case. Numerical examples are presented for the finite-dimensional case.

Stable Discretizations of Convection-Diffusion Problems via Computable Negative-Order Inner Products
Authors: Silvia Bertoluzza, Claudio Canuto, Anita Tabacco
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

A new functional framework for consistently stabilizing discrete approximations to convection-diffusion problems was recently proposed by the authors. The key ideas are the evaluation of the residual in an inner product of the type H-1/2 (unlike classical SUPG methods, which use elemental weighted L2-inner products) and the realization of this inner product via explicitly computable multilevel decompositions of function spaces (such as those given by wavelets or hierarchical finite elements). In this paper, we first provide further motivations for our approach. Next, we carry on a detailed analysis of the method, which covers all regimes (convection-dominated and diffusion-dominated). A consistent part of the analysis justifies the use of easily computable truncated forms of the stabilizing inner product. Numerical results, in close agreement with the theory, are given at the end of the paper.

A characterization of c.e. random reals
Authors: Cristian S. Calude
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

A real α is computably enumerable if it is the limit of a computable, increasing, converging sequence of rationals. A real α is random if its binary expansion is a random sequence. Our aim is to offer a self-contained proof, based on the papers (Calude et al., in: M. Morvan, C. Meinel, D. Krob (Eds.), Proc. 15th Symp. on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, Paris, Springer, Berlin, 1998, pp. 596-606; Chaitin, J. Assoc. Comput. Mach. 22 (1975) 329; Slaman, manuscript, 14 December 1998, 2 pp.; Solovay, unpublished manuscript, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York, May 1975, 215 pp.), of the following theorem: a real is c.e. and random if and only if it is a Chaitin&Ohgr; real, i.e., the halting probability of some universal self-delimiting Turing machine.
Approximate envelope reconstruction for moving solids
Authors: U. Schwanecke, L. Kobbelt
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

We present a new approach to approximately construct the envelope of a moving solid. It is based on dynamically updating an octree that approximates the envelope surface. Our approach guarantees a prescribed error-bound, and is scalable in the sense that it allows a very fast calculation of coarse approximations, while better approximations can be obtained by investing more computation time and memory. Furthermore, the algorithm is robust due to the fact that no badly conditioned surface-surface intersections have to be computed.

Component-oriented KBS
Authors: Mourad Oussalah
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

In this paper, we propose a modeling technique which permits to describe a KBS (Knowledge Based Systems) architecture according to two CBS (Components Based Systems) axis : the components architecture axis and the levels of granularity of components axis. The components architecture axis allows to see a KBS as a set of inter-related components for reuse purposes. The levels of granularity of components axis allows to describe the KBS components according to different levels of granularity for clarity and reuse purposes.

Local Area Network Inter-Connection Via Satellite: Tct Cost Action 253--Service Efficient Network Inter-Connection
Authors: Yim Fun Hu
Venue:  (2002)

:A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network usually within a single office or building that links desktop computers with each other and with peripherals such as servers and printers. The interconnect is the electrical and functional association of two different services, often provided by different suppliers, and it is from LAN inter-connection that telecoms operators seek to profit. The application of LAN interconnection via satellite can be used to complement and extend existing terrestrial public access networks through interconnection of clusters of broadband islands (such as LANs and MANs) in remote regions, where terrestrial lines are expensive to install and operate. Examples include: * Hospitals/clinics in remote and rural areas can be connected to the central hospitals in a tele-medicine environment * Remote offices can be connected to the central office to facilitate tele-working * University/colleges can be inter-connected to provide tele-education facilities Similarly, the possibility to provide access to such facilities in developing regions of the world is also viable and particularly attractive in the short to mid-term. Private LAN connection facilities could also be made available to the corporate user, offering the possibility to establish broadband internet access within a closed user group. Such a scenario could be of interest to the financial sector. By gathering the knowledge and experiences of well-known satellite systems experts from different parts of Europe this comprehensive volume provides detailed analysis on technical aspects for interconnecting local area network using satellite. Starting from traffic source modelling for different types ofapplications and services to different types of transmission techniques and networking functions for supporting such services, different case studies are presented to analyse the performance of such technologies. By providing an insight to current and future developments in satellite communications systems and by covering a broad range of materials in technical aspects in relation to satellite communication systems technologies, this volume will be of tremendous use to researchers, academia and industry. * First book to present such a thorough description of the reliability functions of satellite systems * Discusses IP over satellite * Provides a unique analysis and description of different simulation tools that are under development for evaluating the performance of satellite systems * Includes a chapter devoted to traffic modelling for satellite systems * Reviews current research and developments in security and discusses how such security functions can be implemented over satellite networks * Addresses different types of routing strategies and includes three different case studies which have been carried out to analyse the performance of different routing strategies
