Cyberwars: Espionage on the Internet
Authors: Jean Guisnel
Venue:  (1999)

:Cyberwars documents the always intriguing and sometimes terrifying story of how a few individuals have manipulated this far-reaching new medium for personal or political gain. Jean Guisnel, preeminent journalist and a specialist on defense issues, describes blow by blow the battles on the Internet waged by people who "make Mata Hari and James Bond look like antiques" (Le Figaro). Brilliant hackers like Kevin Mitnik - modern-day "pirates" - pose real security threats to governments and industry. International terrorists plot their attacks and are tracked by secret service organizations online, and drug traffickers do business and launder money there. Electronic economic espionage between governments have become the order of the day. In the wake of the Cold War, the world's intelligence organizations play out deadly new games on the Net. Examining Clinton's ill-fated "Clipper" initiative, his call for a national data-encryption standard that would make it possible for law-enforcement agencies, if authorized by a court, to decode private voice and data communications, as well as the Communications Decency Act, aimed at protecting minors from "inappropriate" Internet material, Guisnel assesses the implications of pervasive surveillance for the inherently democratic medium of the Internet. With these issues being the focus of ongoing debates in government and the private sector, Cyberwars couldn't be more timely.

Optimal Control of a Conventionally Correct System with Conjugation Conditions
Authors: I. V. Sergienko, V. S. Deineka
Venue: Cybernetics and Systems Analysis (2002)

New optimal control problems are constructed and considered for distributed systems whose states are described by Neumann boundary-value problems with conjugation conditions and non-unique solutions. The paper proposes accurate higher-order computation schemes for discretization of optimization problems for the case where a control set coincides with a full Hilbert space.

On the analysis of the (1+ 1) evolutionary algorithm
Authors: Stefan Droste, Thomas Jansen, Ingo Wegener
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Many experimental results are reported on all types of Evolutionary Algorithms but only few results have been proved. A step towards a theory on Evolutionary Algorithms, in particular, the so-called (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm, is performed. Linear functions are proved to be optimized in expected time O(nlnn) but only mutation rates of size (1/n) can ensure this behavior. For some polynomial of degree 2 the optimization needs exponential time. The same is proved for a unimodal function. Both results were not expected by several other authors. Finally, a hierarchy result is proved. Moreover, methods are presented to analyze the behavior of the (1+1) Evolutionary Algorithm.
A linear bound on the complexity of the delaunay triangulation of points on polyhedral surfaces
Authors: Dominique Attali, Jean-Daniel Boissonnat
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

Delaunay triangulations and Voronoi diagrams have found numerous applications in surface modeling, surface mesh generation, deformable surface modeling and surface reconstruction. Many algorithms in these applications begin by constructing the three-dimensional Delaunay triangulation of a finite set of points scattered over a surface. Their running-time therefore depends on the complexity of the Delaunay triangulation of such point sets. Although the complexity of the Delaunay triangulation of points may be quadratic in the worst-case, we show in this paper that it is only linear when the points are distributed on a fixed number of well-sampled facets (e.g. the facets of a polyhedron). Our bound is deterministic and the constants are explicitly given.

Technology-based transformations
Authors: Rajeev Murgai
Venue: Logic Synthesis and Verification (2001)

Technology mapping is inherently a difficult problem. The current mapping algorithms cannot provide optimum solutions for minimum delay or area for industrial circuits in the presence of large gate libraries, complex design constraints, realistic & accurate delay models, and in the absence of interconnect load and delay information. Thus there is a need and scope for applying postmapping logic transformations, namely gate resizing, fanout optimization by buffering, gate replication, generalized DeMorgan transform, simple gate decomposition/collapsing, resynthesis & remapping, and pin permutation.
TransAlta Redesigns Its Service-Delivery Network
Authors: Erhan Erkut, Tony Myroon, Kevin Strangway
Venue: Interfaces (2000)

TransAlta Utilities (TAU), Canada's largest publicly owned electric utility company, wanted to reduce costs and improve service, establish a call center, and redesign its service-delivery network. To help TAU locate service facilities, determine staffing levels, cluster facilities into call pools, locate equipment, and evaluate the impact of customers performing their own operations and maintenance, we used facility-location and vehicle-routing heuristics, multiple regression, cost/benefit analysis, and a geographical information system. We worked closely with TAU management, and TAU has implemented most of our recommendations.

Fast Computation of Multidimensional Fourier Integrals
Authors: G. W. Inverarity
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

Bailey and Swarztrauber [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 15 (1994), pp. 1105--1110] have developed an algorithm that uses fast Fourier transforms to numerically evaluate one-dimensional Fourier integrals whose integration ranges are finite and symmetric, returning a symmetric range of values in transform variable space. Their algorithm is here extended to evaluate multidimensional Fourier integrals possessing asymmetric integration and transform variable ranges, using a second-order open quadrature rule to admit integrands with endpoint singularities.
Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work
Venue: Computer Supported Cooperative Work (2002)

One of the reasons we continue to find the CSCW conference so intellectually satisfying is the convergence of disciplines and outlooks it embodies. The conference brings together those who study and design group and organizational and community practices with those who study and design technologies intended to support group and organizational and community practices. The CSCW 2002 papers continue that tradition, with contributions from the behavioral, technical and design disciplines in a broad range of application areas.Members of the papers committee, both the 25 associate chairs and the over 100 reviewers, deserve tremendous thanks for the hours that they donated to evaluating submissions and shaping the papers portion of the technical program. Under tight time constraints, each of the 193 submissions was evaluated by at least three reviewers and one associate chair. All told, they wrote over 775 evaluations, attempting to judge whether submissions had sufficient quality and breadth to warrant presentation to the diverse CSCW audience, and to provide helpful comments to the authors. From the 193 papers submitted for CSCW 2002, we accepted 39. The papers are drawn from an international community of researchers and represent a mix of technical and social and design aspects of the field. The embrace a range of methodologies and technical approaches and provide a snapshot the diverse set of activities of the international CSCW community.
