A Stratification of the Set of Normal Matrices
Authors: Marko Huhtanen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

In this paper we consider the set of normal matrices ${\cal N} \subset \Bbb C^{n \times n}$ as a stratified submanifold of $\Bbb R^{2n^2}$. Based on the Toeplitz decomposition, we construct a stratification of ${\cal N}$ with the strata of dimension $n^2+j$ for $1 \leq j \leq n$. The stratum of the maximal dimension n2+n is readily parametrizable since the Toeplitz decomposition Z=H+iK of a generic $Z \in {\cal N}$ equals Z=H+ip(H) for a polynomial p with real coefficients. Using this, it is possible to approach computational tasks involving normal matrices in a new way. To give an example, we consider the problem of approximating eigenvalues of a large, possibly sparse, normal matrix Z. In particular, we generalize the Hermitian Lanczos method to normal matrices.
Lip feature extraction using red exclusion
Authors: Trent W. Lewis, David M. W. Powers
Venue: Selected papers from the Pan-Sydney workshop on Visualisation - Volume 2 (2000)

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) performs well under restricted conditions, but performance degrades in noisy environments. Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) combats this by incorporating a visual signal into the recognition. This paper briefly reviews the contribution of psycholinguistics to this endeavour and the recent advances in machine AVSR. An important first step in AVSR is that of feature extraction from the mouth region. This paper examines several well-known pixel based techniques - grayscale, horizontal edge, red and hue colour space - and compares how well they work on our naturalistic database. Finally, a novel method of feature extraction, red exclusion, is described that outperforms the others on this data set.
Introduction to simulation
Authors: Ricki G. Ingalls
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

Simulation is a powerful tool if understood and used properly. This introduction to simulation tutorial is designed to teach the basics of simulation, including structure, function, data generated, and its proper use. The introduction starts with a definition of simulation, goes through a talk about what makes up a simulation, how the simulation actually works, and how to handle data generated by the simulation. Throughout the paper, there is discussion on issues concerning the use of simulation in industry.
PDA's, barcodes and video-films for continuous learning at an intensive care unit
Authors: Eva Brandt, Erling Björgvinsson, Per-Anders Hillgren, Viktor Bergqvist, Marcus Emilson
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

This describes a prototype made to support and augment continuous learning for the employees at an Intensive Care Unit. The prototype is made from off-the-shelf products. The prototype is a mobile interface consisting of a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and a barcode reader. On the PDA are a number of short video-films produced by the employees (especially the nurses) at the Intensive Care Unit. The content of the video-films vary from instructions about medical equipment to films about handling of sores, reflections on "best practices" etc. Barcodes distributed in the Intensive Care environment give access to the video-films. A running prototype will be demonstrated and the conference participants will be able to try the prototype themselves. Furthermore a short video-film will give examples of nurses producing video-films, discussing the video-films, and using the PDA prototype.
Object Technology Centers of Excellence

Object Technology Centers of Excellence provides guidance to those charged with managing the shift to object technology. It is the only book on the market aimed not at the project level but at the corporate level, with a focus on the infrastructures necessary for a successful transition. This book presents case histories of early adopters of OT, which can help you understand the steps your company must take - and paths it should avoid. Object Technology Centers of Excellence is recommended reading in any organization planning or transitioning to OT, not just involved with formal OTCs. The book includes practical advice for managers, members of technical staffs, and consultants.
When Does the Positive Semidefiniteness Constraint Help in Lifting Procedures?
Authors: Michel X. Goemans, Levent Tunçel
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

We study the lift-and-project procedures of LovÃ¡sz and Schrijver for 0-1 integer programming problems. We prove that the procedure using the positive semidefiniteness constraint is not better than the one without it, in the worst case. Various examples are considered. We also provide geometric conditions characterizing when the positive semidefiniteness constraint does not help.
Revisiting the visit:: understanding how technology can shape the museum visit
Authors: Rebecca E. Grinter, Paul M. Aoki, Margaret H. Szymanski, James D. Thornton, Allison Woodruff
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

This paper reports findings from a study of how a guidebook was used by pairs of visitors touring a historic house. We describe how the guidebook was incorporated into their visit in four ways: shared listening, independent use, following one another, and checking in on each other. We discuss how individual and groupware features were adopted in support of different visiting experiences, and illustrate how that adoption was influenced by social relationships, the nature of the current visit, and any museum visiting strategies that the couples had. Finally, we describe how the guidebook facilitated awareness between couples, and how awareness of non-guidebook users (strangers) influenced use.
Large scale 3D clustering and abstraction
Authors: Aaron J. Quigley
Venue: Selected papers from the Pan-Sydney workshop on Visualisation - Volume 2 (2000)

Typically, a user can understand a clear textual description of a small amount of relational information. However, when dealing with large amounts of relational information, a vast amount of text quickly becomes cumbersome. Existing methods and techniques, for the visualization of relational information, tend to effectively deal with only relatively small data sets. Here we present methods to generate a hierarchical compound graph for the large 3D visualisation of relational information. These large compound graphs can effectively be drawn using a modified force-directed algorithm with horizon drawings.
Interfacing with the invisible computer
Authors: Kasim Rehman, Frank Stajano, George Coulouris
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

The Ubicomp scenario of wirelessly networked processors embedded in everyday objects has been dubbed "the invisible computer". Users no longer interact with a computer but with familiar objects whose functionality is transparently enhanced by computing features.Using the results of an extensive survey of past and current Ubicomp research (Rehman 2001), we highlight the major problem of this new style of interaction: because the computer is invisible, the user lacks an appropriate cognitive mod el for it, and cannot predict the behaviour or even the available features of the system. We argue that effective and usable Ubicomp systems will have to make the invisible computer visible.
Function and Architecture Optimization and Co-Design of Embedded Systems
Authors: Bassam Tabbara, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Abdallah Tabbara
Venue:  (2000)

:Function Architecture Co-Design is a new paradigm for the design and implementation of embedded systems. Function/Architecture Optimization and Co-Design of Embedded Systems presents the authors' work in developing a function/architecture optimization and co-design formal methodology and framework for control-dominated embedded systems. The approach incorporates both data flow and control optimizations performed on a suitable novel intermediate design task representation. The aim is not only to enhance productivity of the designer and system developer, but also to improve quality of the final synthesis outcome. Function/Architecture Optimization and Co-Design of Embedded Systems discusses the proposed function/architecture co-design methodology, focusing on design representation, optimization, validation, and synthesis. Throughout the text, the difference between behavior specification and implementation is emphasized. The current need in co-design to move from synthesis-based technology to compiler-based technology is pointed out. The authors describe and show how performing data flow and control optimizations at the high abstraction level can lead to significant size and performance improvements in both the synthesized hardware and software. The work builds on bodies of research in the silicon and software compilation domains. The aforementioned techniques are specialized to the embedded systems domain. It is recognized that guided optimization can be applied on the internal design representation, no matter what the abstraction level, and need not be restricted to the final stages of software assembly code generation, or hardware synthesis.Function/Architecture Optimization and Co-Design of Embedded Systems will be of primary interest to researchers, developers, and professionals in the field of embedded systems design.

Nonconvex embeddings of the exceptional simplicial 3-spheres with 8 vertices
Authors: James Mihalisin, Gordon Williams
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

As shown by D. Barnette (1973, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 14, 37-53) there are precisely 39 simplicial 3-spheres with 8 vertices. Thirty-seven of these are boundary complexes for convex 4-polytopes. In this paper we supply nonconvex embeddings in Euclidean 4-space for the remaining two 3-spheres. We discuss the properties of the embeddings as well as the techniques used to demonstrate their validity.
Householder Transformations Revisited
Authors: A. A. Dubrulle
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

A new analysis of the two types of Householder reflections shows that the second type stably defined by Parlett has a better ability to propagate information borne by its driving vector. The results are extended to the Davis--Kahan rotation.
Secure wireless gateway
Authors: Austin Godber, Partha Dasgupta
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Wireless security (2002)

Wireless LANs (WLAN), using the IEEE 802.11b standard, have been shown to be inherently insecure. Given the widespread use of this type of WLAN for public and corporate access, it is important to have an "idiot proof" method for securing WLAN from hacking, sniffing, and unauthorized access.In this paper, we present a simple solution using IPSEC that provides an inexpensive, easy to implement, wireless gateway, and an access point that is secure. The client configuration involves no additional software, and the simple steps needed to configure a client are provided using a captive portal. Thus, the gateway is designed to minimize the intrusion to the end user, will only be slightly different from using a standard wireless network, and will require no additional software or hardware.

Venue:  (2000)

:72 dpi is our collection of revolutionary web designs in book form. The Internet´s rapid development constantly demands new, ingenious web designs that bind the user to the website for as long as possible in order to provide him/ her with contents and information. Meaning that web site designers always have to develop new, fresh graphic solutions to transport the most diverse contents. What they come up with is then transported via the WWW and appears in 72 dots per inch resolution (72 dpi) on a computer monitor. This book shows a selection of the most successful solutions from all parts of the world appropriately presented in the same landscape format as a monitor. Since colours are assembled differently for the internet ( RGB) than are reproducible in the traditional printing process (CMYK), costly print-processing will be used for 72 dpi - making nearly perfect colour reproduction of web designs possible in a book for the first time.In order to give a most authentic lodown of what state-of-the-art web design is all about , 72dpi includes twenty texts on relevant aspects, written by experts like Matt Owens, David Lindermann, Josh Davies and PlanetPixel.

Online feedback-directed optimization of Java
Authors: Matthew Arnold, Michael Hind, Barbara G. Ryder
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2002)

This paper describes the implementation of an online feedback-directed optimization system. The system is fully automatic; it requires no prior (offline) profiling run. It uses a previously developed low-overhead instrumentation sampling framework to collect control flow graph edge profiles. This profile information is used to drive several traditional optimizations, as well as a novel algorithm for performing feedback-directed control flow graph node splitting. We empirically evaluate this system and demonstrate improvements in peak performance of up to 17% while keeping overhead low, with no individual execution being degraded by more than 2% because of instrumentation.
