Symbolic and numeric methods for exploiting structure in constructing resultant matrices
Authors: Ioannis Z. Emiris, Victor Y. Pan
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

Resultant characterize the existence of roots of systems of multivariate nonlinear polynomial equations, while their matrices reduce the computation of all common zeros to a problem in linear algebra. Sparse elimination theory has introduced the sparse (or toric) resultant, which takes into account the sparse structure of the polynomials. The construction of sparse resultant, or Newton, matrices is the critical step in the computation of the multivariate resultant and the solution of a nonlinear system. We reveal and exploit the quasi-Toeplitz structure of the Newton matrix, thus decreasing the time complexity of constructing such matrices by roughly one order of magnitude to achieve quasi-quadratic complexity in the matrix dimension. The space complexity is also decreased analogously. These results imply similar improvements in the complexity of computing the resultant polynomial itself and of solving zero-dimensional systems. Our approach relies on fast vector-by-matrix multiplication and uses the following two methods as building blocks. First, a fast and numerically stable method for determining the rank of rectangular matrices, which works exclusively over floating point arithmetic. Second, exact polynomial arithmetic algorithms that improve upon the complexity of polynomial multiplication under our model of sparseness, offering bounds linear in the number of variables and the number of non-zero terms.
A complete axiomatization for functional and multivalued dependencies in database relations
Authors: Catriel Beeri, Ronald Fagin, John H. Howard
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

We investigate the inference rules that can be applied to functional and multivalued dependencies that exist in a database relation. Three types of rules are discussed. First, we list the well known rules for functional dependencies. Then we investigate the rules for multivalued dependencies. It is shown that for each rule for functional dependencies the same rule or a similar rule holds for multivalued dependencies. There is, however, one additional rule for multivalued dependencies that has no parallel among the rules for functional dependencies. Finally, we present rules that involve functional and multivalued dependencies together. The main result of the paper is that the rules presented are complete for the family of functional and multivalued dependencies.

Visualizing a computer mediated communication (CMC) process to facilitate knowledge management
Authors: Bin Zhu
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

The archive of a computer-mediated communication (CMC) process contains knowledge shared and implicit information about participants' behavior patterns during discussion. However, most CMC systems focus only on organizing the content of discussions. On the other hand, the social visualization research has developed techniques to depict human behaviors during a process of CMC but has not been integrated in any organizational memory system yet. In addition, the impacts of the graphical representations created by social visualization techniques have seldom been studied. The dissertation thus proposes a two-phase research to address those issues. The first phase proposes a prototype system that integrates a social visualization technique with various information analysis technologies to graphically summarize both the content and behavior of a CMC process. The second phase proposes to adopt the "de-featuring" approach used by previous interface evaluation studies to evaluate how the graphical interface developed affects users' information acquisition and evaluation process.
Capturing knowledge of user preferences: ontologies in recommender systems
Authors: Stuart E. Middleton, David C. De Roure, Nigel R. Shadbolt
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Knowledge capture (2001)

Tools for filtering the World Wide Web exist, but they are hampered by the difficulty of capturing user preferences in such a dynamic environment. We explore the acquisition of user profiles by unobtrusive monitoring of browsing behaviour and application of supervised machine-learning techniques coupled with an ontological representation to extract user preferences. A multi-class approach to paper classification is used, allowing the paper topic taxonomy to be utilised during profile construction. The Quickstep recommender system is presented and two empirical studies evaluate it in a real work setting, measuring the effectiveness of using a hierarchical topic ontology compared with an extendable flat list.

Many illustrations and references ground the theory in practical examples. The book also features a unique illustration of the whole product development process through a practical case study that gives readers a clear idea how CAD, CAM, and CAE systems are integrated to accelerate the product development process. This book is carefully targeted toward today's students; topics are introduced in a concise, efficient manner, with mathematical terminology that is kept to a minimum. A background in programming, calculus, and matrix and vector algebra is helpful when using this text.
Inertial and magnetic posture tracking for inserting humans into networked virtual environments
Authors: Eric R. Bachmann, Robert B. McGhee, Xiaoping Yun, Michael J. Zyda
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2001)

Rigid body orientation can be determined without the aid of a generated source using nine-axis MARG (Magnetic field, Angular Rate, and Gravity) sensor unit containing three orthogonally mounted angular rate sensors, three orthogonal linear accelerometers and three orthogonal magnetometers. This paper describes a quaternion-based complementary filter algorithm for processing the output data from such a sensor. The filter forms the basis for a system designed to determine the posture of an articulated body in real-time. In the system the orientation relative to an Earth-fixed reference frame of each limb segment is individually determined through the use of an attached MARG sensor. The orientations are used to set the posture of an articulated body model. Details of the fabrication of a prototype MARG sensor are presented. Calibration algorithms for the sensors and the human body model are also presented. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the tracking system and verify the correctness of the underlying theory.

Analysis of TCP performance over mobile ad hoc networks
Authors: Gavin Holland, Nitin Vaidya
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

Mobile ad hoc networks have attracted attention lately as a means of providing continuous network connectivity to mobile computing devices regardless of physical location. Recent research has focused primarily on the routing protocols needed in such an environment. In this paper, we investigate the effects that link breakage due to mobility has on TCP performance. Through simulation, we show that TCP throughput drops significantly when nodes move, due to TCP's inability to recognize the difference between link failure and congestion. We also analyze specific examples, such as a situation where throughput is zero for a particular connection. We introduce a new metric, expected throughput, for the comparison of throughput in multi-hop networks, and then use this metric to show how the use of explicit link failure notification (ELFN) techniques can significantly improve TCP performance.

An industrial case study of implementing software risk management
Authors: Bernd Freimut, Susanne Hartkopf, Peter Kaiser, Jyrki Kontio, Werner Kobitzsch
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th European software engineering conference held jointly with 9th ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2001)

Explicit risk management is gaining ground in industrial software development projects. However, there are few empirical studies that investigate the transfer of explicit risk management into industry, the adequacy of the risk management approaches to the constraints of industrial contexts, or their cost-benefit. This paper presents results from a case study that introduced a systematic risk management method, namely the Riskit method, into a large German telecommunication company. The objective of the case study was (1) to analyze the usefulness and adequacy of the Riskit method and (2) to analyze the cost-benefit of the Riskit method in this industrial context. The results of (1) also aimed at improvement and customization of the Riskit method. Moreover, we compare our findings with results of previous case studies to obtain more generalized conclusions on the Riskit method. Our results showed that the Riskit method is practical, adds value to the project, and that its key concepts are understood and usable in practice. Additionally, many lessons learned are reported that are useful for the general audience who wants to transfer risk management into new projects.

Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems: An Introductory Analysis with Applications to Biology, Control and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: John H. Holland
Venue:  (1992)

:Genetic algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in studies of complex adaptive systems, ranging from adaptive agents in economic theory to the use of machine learning techniques in the design of complex devices such as aircraft turbines and integrated circuits. Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems is the book that initiated this field of study, presenting the theoretical foundations and exploring applications. In its most familiar form, adaptation is a biological process, whereby organisms evolve by rearranging genetic material to survive in environments confronting them. In this now classic work, Holland presents a mathematical model that allows for the nonlinearity of such complex interactions. He demonstrates the model's universality by applying it to economics, physiological psychology, game theory, and artificial intelligence and then outlines the way in which this approach modifies the traditional views of mathematical genetics. Initially applying his concepts to simply defined artificial systems with limited numbers of parameters, Holland goes on to explore their use in the study of a wide range of complex, naturally occuring processes, concentrating on systems having multiple factors that interact in nonlinear ways. Along the way he accounts for major effects of coadaptation and coevolution: the emergence of building blocks, or schemata, that are recombined and passed on to succeeding generations to provide, innovations and improvements. John H. Holland is Professor of Psychology and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. He is also Maxwell Professor at the Santa Fe Institute and isDirector of the University of Michigan/Santa Fe Institute Advanced Research Program.
Incremental Evolution in ANNs: Neural Netswhich Grow
Authors: Christopher Macleod, Grant M. Maxwell
Venue: Artificial Intelligence Review (2001)

This paper explains the optimisation of neural network topology using Incremental Evolution&semi; that is, by allowing the network to expand by adding to its structure. This method allows a network to grow from a simple to a complex structure until it is capable of fulfilling its intended function. The approach is somewhat analogous to the growth of an embryo or the evolution of a fossil line through time, it is therefore sometimes referred to as an embryology or embryological algorithm. The paper begins with a general introduction, comparing this method to other competing techniques such as The Genetic Algorithm, other Evolutionary Algorithms and Simulated Annealing. A literature survey of previous work is included, followed by an extensive new framework for application of the technique. Finally, examples of applications and a general discussion are presented.

The use of B to specify, design and verify hardware
Authors: Wilson Ifill, Ib Sorensen, Steve Schneider
Venue: High integrity software (2001)

We have demonstrated that clocked synchronous logic can be developed within a formal software framework. The advantage of this approach is that it allows abstraction, animation and proof of refinement. The B-Toolkit supports these activities and has a VHDL generator. The validation tests can be agreed and carried out during animation early in the development cycle (a common technique in software). Proof of refinement may be important for critical applications. The AWE plans to explore the proof of their Arming System Processor with the techniques over-viewed in this paper.
