Towards nanocomputer architecture
Authors: Paul Beckett, Andrew Jennings
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh Asia-Pacific conference on Computer systems architecture (2002)

At the nanometer scale, the focus of micro-architecture will move from processing to communication. Most general computer architectures to date have been based on a "stored program" paradigm that differentiates between memory and processing and relies on communication over busses and other (relatively) long distance mechanisms. Nanometer-scale electronics --- nanoelectronics - promises to fundamentally change the ground-rules. Processing will be cheap and plentiful, interconnection expensive but pervasive. This will tend to move computer architecture in the direction of locally-connected, reconfigurable hardware meshes that merge processing and memory. If the overheads associated with reconfigurability can be reduced or even eliminated, architectures based on non-volatile, reconfigurable, fine-grained meshes with rich, local interconnect offer a better match to the expected characteristics of future nanoelectronic devices.
Ethics and information systems: Resolving the quandaries
Authors: H. Jeff Smith
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2002)

The information systems (I/S) community is becoming concerned with questions of ethical behavior in many realms. But those who attempt to resolve the quandaries may find themselves confused by differing approaches and theoretical assumptions that are often proffered. This paper provides a meta-framework that identifies the areas of convergence and divergence in these approaches and assumptions. An illustrative example (America Online's plans to share subscriber information with telemarketers) is examined through several sets of lenses. Special attention is paid to the linkages between the theories, with fertile areas for future research identified.
On Semidefinite Programming Relaxations of (2+p)-SAT
Authors: E. de Klerk, H. van Maaren
Venue: Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (2003)

Recently, de Klerk, van Maaren and Warners [10] investigated a relaxation of 3-SAT via semidefinite programming. Thus a 3-SAT formula is relaxed to a semidefinite feasibility problem. If the feasibility problem is infeasible then a certificate of unsatisfiability of the formula is obtained. The authors proved that this approach is exact for several polynomially solvable classes of logical formulae, including 2-SAT, pigeonhole formulae and mutilated chessboard formulae. In this paper we further explore this approach, and investigate the strength of the relaxation on (2&plus;i>p)-SAT formulae, i.e., formulae with a fraction i>p of 3-clauses and a fraction (1&minus;i>p) of 2-clauses. In the first instance, we provide an empirical computational evaluation of our approach. Secondly, we establish approximation guarantees of randomized and deterministic rounding schemes when the semidefinite feasibility problem is feasible, and also present computational results for the rounding schemes. In particular, we do a numerical and theoretical comparison of this relaxation and the stronger relaxation by Karloff and Zwick [15].

E2WFQ: an energy efficient fair scheduling policy for wireless systems
Authors: Vijay Raghunathan, Saurabh Ganeriwal, Curt Schurgers, Mani Srivastava
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

As embedded systems are being networked, often wirelessly, an increasingly larger share of their total energy budget is due to the communication. This necessitates the development of power management techniques that address communication subsystems, such as radios, as opposed to computation subsystems, such as embedded processors, to which most of the research effort thus far has been devoted. In this paper, we present E2WFQ, an energy efficient version of the Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm for packet scheduling in communication systems. We employ a recently proposed radio power management technique, Dynamic Modulation Scaling (DMS), as a control knob to enable energy-latency tradeoffs during wireless packet scheduling. The use of E2WFQ results in an energy aware packet scheduler, which exploits the statistics of the input arrival pattern as well as the variability in packet lengths. Simulation results show that large savings in energy consumption can be obtained through the use of our scheduling scheme, compared to conventional WFQ, with only a small, bounded increase in worst case packet latency.
Automation of heat bending in shipbuilding
Authors: H. C. Kuo, L. J. Wu
Venue: Computers in Industry (2002)

Due to the difficulty involved in passing down the manufacturing skills and expertise possessed by experienced, skilled operators to a new generation of workers, and the need for an increased level of automation within the shipbuilding industry, it is necessary to investigate the factors which influence sheet plate bending and deformation during the heat bending process. According to research, the main factors which influence heat bending are the intensity of the heat source, the temperature variation of the input heat, and the speed of the heat source. These factors are inter-related and, therefore, it is not possible to change them arbitrarily during the manufacturing process. This paper suggests that it is necessary to establish a fuzzy system to enhance the performance of the manufacturing numerical controller in managing these parameters. It is possible to establish a heat bending control system, which uses the results of mathematical operations, and the signals from a displacement sensor to adjust the speed of the heat input source during the manufacturing process. One disadvantage of typical control mechanisms such as proportional, integral or differential (PID) controllers is that they all require the presence of a mathematical model to represent the system which is to be controlled. However, it is not always possible to represent the target systems completely and accurately using a mathematical model. This is particularly true when the situation is complicated, as is the case in the heat bending process. Furthermore, different heat bending methods require representation by different mathematical models. Fuzzy control systems do not suffer from this limitation; they are able to control systems which are not represented by a model. From experiments conducted as part of this study, it was found that a fuzzy controller can be satisfactorily used to monitor the plate deformation during the plate bending process, and, in the case of deformation error, to provide timely adjustment of the heating source speed so as to correct this error. The aim of the study will help shipbuilding towards automatic manufacture.
Constraint Partitioning for Stability in Path-Constrained Dynamic Optimization Problems
Authors: Soumyendu Raha, Linda R. Petzold
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

In this paper an algorithm for extracting a stable differential-algebraic subsystem from a path-constrained dynamical system is proposed. The subsystem may be integrated directly by a differential-algebraic system integrator to evaluate constraints in shooting- or multiple shooting-type direct methods for solving path-constrained dynamic optimization problems. The algorithm appends algebraic constraints to the unconstrained ordinary differential equation subsystem based on a stability estimate for the resulting differential-algebraic system. The logarithmic norm is used to compute a stability estimate for index 1 and index 2 subsystems. The working of the algorithm is illustrated with examples.

Risk Analysis
Authors: J. L. Rubio, C. A. Brebbia, J. L. Uso
Venue:  (1998)

:Effective risk management and the mitigation of possible hazards have become high priorities for many of today's organisations, due both to the complexity of modern systems and the increased potential for disasters on a world-wide scale. The development of computational methods and the ability to model systems more precisely now enables hazards to be quantified, their effects to be simulated and risk analysis to be pursued with greater accuracy. These advances are of particular relevance to environmental issues where the risks involved are increasingly seen as sustainable. This book contains many of the papers presented at the International Conference on Computer Simulation in Risk Analysis and Hazard Mitigation held in Valencia, Spain in October 1998. The meeting was concerned with all aspects of these two topics associated with both material and anthropogenic hazards, while strategic issues related to suitable development and efficient use of resources were also discussed.

Collocation Methods for the Computation of Periodic Solutions of Delay Differential Equations
Authors: K. Engelborghs, T. Luzyanina, K. J. In 't Hout
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

In this paper we investigate collocation methods for the computation of periodic solutions of autonomous delay differential equations (DDEs). Periodic solutions are found by solving a periodic two-point boundary value problem, which is an infinite-dimensional problem for DDEs, in contrast to the case of ordinary differential equations. We investigate three collocation methods based on piecewise polynomials. We discuss computational issues and show numerical orders of convergence using an extensive number of tests. We compare our numerical results with known theoretical convergence results for initial value problems for DDEs. In particular, we show how superconvergence at the mesh points can be lost or recovered depending on the DDE model under consideration and on the choice of collocation discretization. We end with a brief discussion of adaptive mesh selection.

String pattern matching in polynomial time
Authors: K. C. Liu, A. C. Fleck
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

There is a wide range of applications for string processing and SNOBOL4 (Griswold, et al. [1971]) has come to be the most widely implemented and accepted language for such applications. No doubt one of the principle reasons for this acceptance is the data structure around which the language is organized, the string pattern. This structure together with the associated pattern matching process provide great flexibility. Nevertheless it has been widely recognized in informal terms that the pattern matching process is often grossly inefficient (Ripley & Griswold [1975], Dewar & McCann [1977]) and that the pattern structure is notoriously difficult to explain and use (Ripley & Griswold [1975], Stewart [1975]). Each of these areas of difficulty relates to such things as two modes of operation (quick-full scan), problems with left-recursion, heuristics in the scan, etc. Some difficulties are inherent with string patterns but many are not; we feel the developments described here help to clarify this situation.In section 2 we describe the formal model upon which we base this work. This allows the careful analysis of the variety of sets of strings which may be specified by the patterns which we admit and deduction to be made concerning the possibility/impossibility of algorithms of interest. With SNOBOL4 it has been the case that the careful definition of the "meaning" of a pattern is in terms of the actions taken by the pattern matching algorithm. This has led to the incorporation of idiosyncrasies of a particular algorithm into the understanding of the pattern structure. This seems akin to using a compiler as the definition of a programming language and we believe it is important to future progress to have other alternatives.In section 3 we point out that the worst-case execution time of the usual SNOBOL pattern matching algorithm is exponential in the length of the subject string, even on some quite simple patterns. We then present an algorithm whose worst-case time is polynomial and that operates on patterns which include a true set complement operator. As side benefits we find that the algorithm is not multi-modal and correctly handles the null string as an alternative and left-recursion.In order to conserve space we will assume throughout this paper that the reader is familiar with the idea of a string pattern in the sense that it is described in Griswold et al. [1971]. Also it is probably necessary that the reader have some general knowledge of the formal languages area.

Complexity Analysis of an Interior Cutting Plane Method for Convex Feasibility Problems
Authors: Jean-Louis Goffin, Zhi-Quan Luo, Yinyu Ye
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1996)

We further analyze the convergence and the complexity of a dual column generation algorithm for solving general convex feasibility problems defined by a separation oracle. The oracle is called at an approximate analytic center of the set given by the intersection of the linear inequalities which are the previous answers of the oracle. We show that the algorithm converges in finite time and is in fact a fully polynomial approximation algorithm, provided that the feasible region has a nonempty interior.
