Optimal finger search trees in the pointer machine
Authors: Gerth Stølting Brodal, George Lagogiannis, Christos Makris, Athanasios Tsakalidis, Kostas Tsichlas
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

We develop a new finger search tree with worst-case constant update time in the Pointer Machine (PM) model of computation. This was a major problem in the field of Data Structures and was tantalizingly open for over twenty years while many attempts by researchers were made to solve it. The result comes as a consequence of the innovative mechanism that guides the rebalancing operations combined with incremental multiple splitting and fusion techniques over nodes.
A fast Euclidean algorithm for Gaussian integers
Authors: George E. Collins
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

A new version of the Euclidean algorithm is developed for computing the greatest common divisor of two Gaussian integers. It uses approximation to obtain a sequence of remainders of decreasing absolute values. The algorithm is compared with the new (1+i)-ary algorithm of Weilert and found to be somewhat faster if properly implemented.

Interconnecting the Network of Networks
Authors: Eli M. Noam
Venue:  (2001)

:This book describes the transformation of telecommunications from national network monopolies to a new system, the network of networks, and the glue that holds it together, interconnection. By their very nature, monopoly-owned networks provided a small number of standardized, nationwide services. Over the past two decades, however, new forces in the world economy began to unravel this traditional system. The driving force behind the change was the shift toward an information-based economy. Especially for large organizations, the price, control, security, and reliability of telecommunications became variables requiring organized attention. Thus monopoly began to give way to the "network of networks," the foundation of today's telecommunications and Internet infrastructure. Taking a broad, multidisciplinary perspective, Eli Noam discusses the importance and history of interconnection policy, as well as recent policy reforms both within the United States and around the globe. Other important topics he discusses include interconnection prices, the unbundling of interconnection, and the technology of interconnection. He concludes with an examination of social and policy issues, including the free flow of content, universal service and privacy protection, and the future of telecommunications.
A new look at hardware maze routing
Authors: John A. Nestor
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

This paper describes a new design for a hardware accelerator to support grid-based Maze Routing. Based on the direct mapped approach of Breuer and Shamsa [3], this work refines their design to substantially reduce the hardware requirements of each processing element while at the same time adding support for mulitilayer routing and fast iterative routing. An RTL implementation has been developed for this design in VHDL, and initial results show promise for its realization using ASIC, custom, or FPGA technology.

Proceedings of the 2001 international conference on Compilers, architecture, and synthesis for embedded systems
Venue: International Conference on Compilers, Architecture and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (2001)

Embedded computing systems and their applications encompass a wide range of research areas across many disciplines in computer science and engineering. Over the past decade, substantial research has gone into the design of general-purpose microprocessors with an emphasis on high-performance. The research in this highly successful effort was performed across "communities" that formed a vertically organized slice from CAD tools through architecture to highly sophisticated compilers. CASES aims to provide a common forum for researchers in various aspects of embedded systems to create a similar synergy that reaches across similarly vertically organized communitiesCASES began life as a workshop. There was a rapid growth in interest from both academic and industrial sectors. To accommodate this growth, it was reborn as a conference, with the first annual meeting being held in San Jose, California, in November 2000. CASES 2001 is the second symposium in the series.CASES 2001 has received about 80 paper submissions - a substantial increase from CASES 2000. The decision to include a paper was based on reviews submitted by the program and organizing committee members. These committees were representative of experts in the applications, architecture, compilers, and synthesis of embedded systems. They were also evenly balanced between industry and academe. The committee members ensured that each paper received three or more reviews. The recommendations from these reviews resulted in the selection of what we believe are 28 excellent papers. Unfortunately, the limited space available in the final program forced us to leave out a number of other excellent papersBesides the high quality technical paper presentations, CASES 2001 will feature two invited talks by distinguished speakers and a special session on Electronic Textiles.

A dynamically reconfigurable adaptive viterbi decoder
Authors: Sriram Swaminathan, Russell Tessier, Dennis Goeckel, Wayne Burleson
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM/SIGDA tenth international symposium on Field-programmable gate arrays (2002)

The use of error-correcting codes has proven to be an effective way to overcome data corruption in digital communication channels. Although widely-used, the most popular communications decoding algorithm, the Viterbi algorithm, requires an exponential increase in hardware complexity to achieve greater decode accuracy. In this paper, we describe the analysis and implementation of a reduced-complexity decode approach, the adaptive Viterbi algorithm (AVA). Our AVA design is implemented in reconfigurable hardware to take full advantage of algorithm parallelism and specialization. Run-time dynamic reconfiguration is used in response to changing channel noise conditions to achieve improved decoder performance. Implementation parameters for the decoder have been determined through simulation and the decoder has been implemented on a Xilinx XC4036-based PCI board. An overall decode performance improvement of 7.5X for AVA has been achieved versus algorithm implementation on a Celeron-processor based system. The use of dynamic reconfiguration leads to a 20% performance improvement over a static implementation with no loss of decode accuracy.

Editing to improve online information
Authors: Dennis Bockus
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Online documentation has provided new challenges for information developers. At the IBM Toronto lab, those challenges have led us editors to alter the work we do. We have found that the nonlinear nature of HTML information webs makes quality control more crucial and difficult than it was when our information appeared in books. Editors provide both guidelines and quality assurance to try to maintain consistency. We have also redefined our role to include a number of information architecture activities in an effort to help writers create an information structure that makes sense to users. In the Toronto lab, editors are an essential part of the information development process.

Low latency file access in a high bandwidth environment
Authors: Stephen Pink, Anders Klemets
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

Workstations will soon have hundreds of megabytes of main memory and will be attached to high speed networks. Many distributed applications will have to be redesigned to take advantage of these new features. Today's distributed file systems are designed for workstations with relatively small amounts of memory that are attached to medium-speed networks (e.g., Ethernets). File access latency will not decrease when today's distributed file systems are run on the newer platforms. The JetFile distributed file system is designed to take advantage of workstations and servers with large memories attached to networks where user-to-user bandwidth approaches one gigabit per second. The design of JetFile allows the high bandwidth of the network to provide low latency file access. This is accomplished by caching large data objects, i,e., directory subtrees, on reference to limit client/server communication. In addition, JetFile uses multicast extensively in its client cache consistency mechanism to help avoid costly network round trips between client and server. Reliable multicast is also used to support server replication of files in JetFile.

Plan-based interfaces: keeping track of user tasks and acting to cooperate
Authors: David Franklin, Jay Budzik, Kristian Hammond
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

The ability to reason about the activity of a user is crucial to the implementation of any Intelligent User Interface. If it is able to recognize what a user is doing, a computer can act to cooperate. Most computer systems limit themselves to command-response interactions-their trivial understandings of their users cannot support a more complicated interaction. However, by looking at the tasks that their users are performing and reasoning about sequences of actions, a computer system can provide a more interesting level of interaction that is more efficient and does not demand as much of its users. Furthermore, the understanding of the user's activity provides a context within which to better understand future actions and to tune the sensing systems to look and listen for the actions that the user is most likely to take next. Finally, in many domains, such computer systems can recognize user tasks and act to cooperate without requiring a deep, goal-oriented understanding. In this paper, we look at the process-based interface used in the Intelligent Classroom, focusing on how a human lecturer can control it by simply going about her presentation. Also, we look at how the general ideas have been adapted to Jabberwocky, a speech-based interface to Microsoft PowerPoint that automatically switches slides, and how they are being applied to extend the functionality of Watson, an autonomous web research tool that uses the document a user is viewing as a search context.

Abstract computability and algebraic specification
Authors: J. V. Tucker, J. I. Zucker
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL) (2002)

Abstract computable functions are defined by abstract finite deterministic algorithms on many-sorted algebras. We show that there exist finite universal algebraic specifications that specify uniquely (up to isomorphism) (i) all abstract computable functions on any many-sorted algebra; (ii) all functions effectively approximable by abstract computable functions on any metric algebra. We show that there exist universal algebraic specifications for all the classically computable functions on the set ℝ of real numbers. The algebraic specifications used are mainly bounded universal equations and conditional equations. We investigate the initial algebra semantics of these specifications, and derive situations where algebraic specifications precisely define the computable functions.
