On the Boundedness and Continuity of the Spectral Factorization Mapping
Authors: Birgit Jacob, Jonathan R. Partington
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

It is known that the spectral factorization mapping is bounded, but not continuous, on $L_\infty$, the space of essentially bounded measurable functions on the unit circle. In this article we study the spectral factorization mapping on decomposing Banach algebras. The most important example of a decomposing Banach algebra is the Wiener algebra, the space of all absolutely convergent Fourier series. It is shown that the spectral factorization mapping is locally Lipschitz continuous, but not bounded, on all decomposing Banach algebras in consideration. An application is given to the construction of approximate normalized coprime factorization.

Application-independent reconciliation for nomadic applications
Authors: Marc Shapiro, Antony Rowstron, Anne-Marie Kermarrec
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

We describe attempts to build an application-independent model to support reconciliation of diverged replicas of shared objects. While replicas are disconnected from one another, actions on the shared objects are recorded in a log. An action is composed of a precondition, an operation and a postcondition. When reconnecting, the system attempts to reconcile the divergent replicas, in several phases. A symbolic phase merges the separate logs, creating one or more schedules, such that preconditions from one log remain true despite the postconditions introduced by the other. Then, a simulation phase checks the possible outcomes by actually applying the schedules to scratch copies of the shared objects. Finally, a selection phase allows users or applications to select one of the candidate schedules.Our approach supports sharing general objects, where one update may reference multiple objects (not just a single file or database). Compared to previous work on log-based reconciliation, our logs capture more semantic information and provide the application with more powerful and finer control over the outcome of reconciliation.

Some combinatorial results on Bernoulli sets and codes
Authors: Aldo de Luca
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

A Bernoulli set is a set X of words over a finite alphabet A such that for any positive Bernoulli distribution in A* one has that (X)=1. In the case of a two-letter alphabet A={a,b} a characterization of finite Bernoulli sets is given in terms of the function &xi,j counting the number of words of X having i occurrences of the letter a and j occurrences of the letter b. Moreover, we also derive a necessary and sufficient condition on the distribution &xi, j which characterizes Bernoulli sets which are commutatively equivalent to prefix codes
The buffalo crime mapping system: a design strategy for the display and analysis of spatially referenced crime data
Authors: Kurt E. Brassel, Jack J. Utano, Perry O. Hanson,  III
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1977)

This paper presents the design strategy for a crime information system with vast capabilities for production of and experimentationwith maps. Detailed disaggregated crime information from the city of Buffalo, New York forms the primary data base for the system. This series of crime files, together with socio-economic data from the Census, are integrated into a geographic information system denoted as the Crime Analysis and Research Package (CARP). The Buffalo Crime Mapping System as a part of CARP is a collection of data files and routines designed for versatile display and analysis of spatially referenced crime data. It deals with three types of information: crime, census, and spatial reference information containing various geometrical indices such as block group boundaries and centroids of statistical units. The boundary information is provided by a flexible arc structure. The three major data files are stored as random access files and are interfaced with various display procedures such as choropleth, graduated circle, and dot mapping programs. The user provides the system with a set of instructions as to the desired map type and its display parameters. A-driver routine then reads the map type instruction and calls the appropriate mapping routine. This mapping program then proceeds by reading the user parameters, accesses the necessary base files, and produces the final map. At its present stage, the system is batch oriented and does not provide for interactive and/or real-time communication features.

Reconstruction of feature volumes and feature suppression
Authors: Sashikumar Venkataraman, Milind Sohoni
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

This paper describes a systematic algorithm for reconstructing the feature volume from a set of faces in a solid model. This algorithm serves a dual purpose. Firstly, the algorithm generates the feature volume by extending or contracting the neighboring faces of the set of faces. Secondly, the algorithm may also be used to remove (or suppress) the face-set from the model. The algorithm uses a divide-and-conquer strategy and geometric cues to identify the correct topology. It robustly handles a wide class of feature volumes with complex topology and geometry. A simplified version of the algorithm has also been presented to handle volumes resulting from 2.5D features.

Java Management Extensions, 1st edition
Authors: J. Steven Perry
Venue:  (2002)

:Steve Perry has spent his time in the trenches. I've been paged at 3:00 am to provide support because the system wasn't doing what it should and no one had a clue how to figure out why. I've scrolled through endless logfiles to decipher system problems, when a management solution could have presented an operator with a warning message hours earlier! Wanting other developers to be able to learn from his experiences, Steve wrote Java Management Extensions.Java Management Extensions is a practical, hands-on guide to using the JMX APIs, Sun Microsystem's new Java-based tool for managing enterprise applications. This one-of-a kind book is a complete treatment of the JMX architecture (both the instrumentation level and the agent level), and it's loaded with real-world examples for implementing Management Extensions. It also contains useful information at the higher level about JMX (the big picture) to help technical managers and architects who are evaluating various application management approaches and are considering JMX. The JMX technology is very new, and according to Steve, still has a few potholes in it. This book takes developers through it step by step, pointing out the gotchas before they have a chance to trip up smooth operation of the application. The author, a member of the expert group developing the JMX specification, points out that as J2EE becomes more widely adopted, the Java standard for management (JMX) becomes more and more crucial to avoid splinter standards where each vendor has their own distinct, arguably successful, way of doing things. In my own company we have already identified and are tackling the problem of managing our Java applications. It's my belief that other companies will follow, as they come to realize the power that a standard manageability solution (ie, JMX) gives them.

Existence and Characterization of an Optimal Control for the Problem of Long Waves in a Shallow-Water Model
Authors: Aziz Belmiloudi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In this paper we present a method of optimal control developed in order to calculate the current corresponding to the observed sea level in a fluid domain $\Omega$ and during a time T. The control is the external stress $\f\ $. The cost function measures the distance between the observed and computed sea levels. The equations satisfied by the depth and the depth averaged velocity are of nonlinear shallow-water type. The existence and uniqueness of a solution for the direct problem are studied in the case of Dirichlet nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. We prove, by means of minimizing sequences, the existence of an optimal control $(\f\ ,\U\ )$ in the case of the small data and a very viscous fluid. To characterize it we build a sequence of problems corresponding to a linearization of the direct problem. We obtain the necessary conditions of optimality. The set of equations and the inequality characterizing the optimal control $(\f\ ,\U\ )$ is obtained as the limit of the penalization.

Objects for lexical analysis
Authors: Bernd Kühl, Axel-Tobias Schreiner
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

This paper presents a new idea for lexical analysis: lolo (language-oriented lexer objects) is strictly based on the object orientation paradigm. We introduce the idea behind the system, describe the implementation, and compare it to the conventional approach using lex[1] or flex[2].lolo[3] extracts symbols from a sequence of input characters belonging to the ASCII or Unicode sets. lolo scanners can be extended without access to the source code: symbol recognizers can be derived by inheritance and an executing scanner can be reconfigured for different contexts. Recognizer actions are represented by objects which may be replaced at any time. Recognizers need not be based on finite state automata; therefore, lolo can recognize symbols that systems like lex cannot recognize directly.
Designing from Both Sides of the Screen: How Designers and Engineers Can Collaborate to Build Cooperative Technology
Authors: Ellen Isaacs, Alan Walendow, Alan Walendowski
Venue:  (2001)

:Written from the perspectives of both a user interface designer and a software engineer, this book demonstrates rather than just describes how to build technology that cooperates with people. It begins with a set of interaction design principles that apply to a broad range of technology, illustrating with examples from the Web, desktop software, cell phones, PDAs, cameras, voice menus, interactive TV, and more. It goes on to show how these principles are applied in practice during the development process  when the ideal design can conflict with other engineering goals.The authors demonstrate how their team built a full-featured instant messenger application for the wireless Palm and PC. Through this realistic example, they describe the many subtle tradeoffs that arise between design and engineering goals. Through simulated conversations, they show how they came to understand each other's goals and constraints and found solutions that addressed both of their needs  and ultimately the needs of users who just want their technology to work.
