Dynamic optimistic interprocedural analysis: a framework and an application
Authors: Igor Pechtchanski, Vivek Sarkar
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2001)

In this paper, we address the problem of dynamic optimistic interprocedural analysis. Our goal is to build on past work on static interprocedural analysis and dynamic optimization by combining their advantages. We present a framework for performing dynamic optimistic interprocedural analysis. the framework is designed to be used in the context of dynamic class loading and dynamic compilation, and includes mechanisms for event notification (on class loading and method compilation) and dependence tracking (to enable invalidation of optimistic assumptions). We illustrate the functionality of the framework by using it to be used in the context of dynamic class loading and dynamic compilation, and includes mechanisms for event notification (on class loading and method compilaton) and dependence tracking (to enable invalidation of optimistic assumptions). We illustrate the functionality of the framework by using it to implement a dynamic optimistic interprocedural type (DOIT) analysis algorithm. The DOIT algorithm uses a new global data structure called the Value Graph. The framework and DOIT analysis of the IBM Jalape&ntilde;o Java virtual machine. Our experimental results for the SPECjvm benchmarks and two larger programs show promising benefits due to dynamic optimistic analysis. Compared to pessimistic analysis, the reduction in number of methods and fields analyzed was in the 2.7x-4.6x and 1.6-2.4x ranges respectively. The average fraction of polymorphic virtual calls decreased from 39.5% to 24.4% due to optimistic analysis, with a best-case decrease from 47.0% to 8.1%. The average fraction of polymorphic interface calls decreased from 96.4% to 36.2% due to optimistic analysis, with a best-case decrease from 100.0% to 0.0%. These benefits were obtained with a low dynamic analysis overhead in the range of 570-930 bytecode bytes/millisecond (about 2.5x-5.4x faster than the Jalape&ntilde;o baseline compiler)

Introducing instant messaging and chat in the workplace
Authors: James D. Herbsleb, David L. Atkins, David G. Boyer, Mark Handel, Thomas A. Finholt
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

We report on our experiences of introducing an instant messaging and group chat application into geographically distributed workgroups. We describe a number of issues we encountered, including privacy concerns, individual versus group training, and focusing on teams or individuals. The perception of the tool's utility was a complex issue, depending both on users' views of the importance of informal communication, and their perceptions of the nature of cross-site communication issues. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of critical mass, which is related to the features each user actually uses. More generally, we encountered a dilemma that imposes serious challenges for user-centered design of groupware systems

Interactive 3D flow visualization using a streamrunner
Authors: Robert S. lramee
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Flow visualization in 3D is challenging due to perceptual problems such as occlusion, lack of directional cues, lack of depth cues, and visual complexity. In this paper we present an interaction technique that addresses these special problems for 3D flow visualization. The feature we present, a streamrunner, games the user interactive control over the evolution of streamlines from the time they are seeds until they reach their full length. The interactive streamrunner control minimizes occlusion and visual complexity and maximizes directional and depth cues for 3D flow visualization tools, the streamrunner gives a brand new level of control to the user investigating the vector field.

Principles of Mobile Communication, 1st edition
Authors: Gordon L. Stuber
Venue:  (1996)

:Principles of Mobile Communication provides an authoritative treatment of the fundamentals of mobile communications, one of the fastest growing areas of the modern telecommunications industry. This book stresses the fundamentals of mobile communications engineering that are important for the design of any mobile system. Less emphasis is placed on the description of existing and proposed wireless standards. This focus on fundamental issues should be of benefit not only to students taking formal instruction but also to practicing engineers who are likely to already have a detailed familiarity with the standards and are seeking to deepen their knowledge of this important field. Principles of Mobile Communication stresses mathematical modeling and analysis, rather than providing a qualitative overview. It has been specifically developed as a textbook for graduate level instruction and a reference book for practicing engineers and those seeking to pursue research in the area. Principles of Mobile Communication contains sufficient background material for novice, yet enough advance material for a sequence of graduate level courses.
Testing Schemes for FIR Filter Structures
Authors: Nilanjan Mukherjee, Janusz Rajski, Jerzy Tyszer
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

This paper presents a new pseudoexhaustive test methodology for digital finite impulse response (FIR) filters. The proposed scheme can be employed to detect any combinational faults within the basic cell of the functional units occurring in linear phase comb filters, trees of sign-extended adders and phase-shift multipliers. It uses additive generators as a source of pseudo-exhaustive patterns to systematically test all FIR filter building blocks.
Alloy: a lightweight object modelling notation
Authors: Daniel Jackson
Venue: ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) (2002)

Alloy is a little language for describing structural properties. It offers a declaration syntax compatible with graphical object models, and a set-based formula syntax powerful enough to express complex constraints and yet amenable to a fully automatic semantic analysis. Its meaning is given by translation to an even smaller (formally defined) kernel. This paper presents the language in its entirety, and explains its motivation, contributions and deficiencies.
Geometry of Digital Spaces
Authors: Gabor T. Herman
Venue:  (1998)

:There are many areas of science and engineering where multi-dimensional discrete data are collected and analyzed, e.g., neuroscience, medical imaging, industrial inspection, geoscience, and fluid dynamics to name a few. In attempting to design and to prove the validity of computational procedures for visualization and analysis of the information in such data, the need for a mathematical theory of surfaces, objects, and their boundaries in discrete spaces is essential. Such a theory - the geometry of digital spaces - is the subject matter of this new book. Self-contained, accessible, and mathematically precise, this book serves as an introduction to this field, providing information that can be used immediately in the discussion of properties of practical algorithms in spaces. The approach used in "Geometry of Digital Spaces" is strongly application oriented. It presents problems of visualization and analysis of multi-dimensional data sets. The primary areas of mathematics used are graph theory and topology. Scientists and professionals from diverse backgrounds will find the discussions clear and accessible because all concepts and methods are carefully introduced, defined, and illustrated with examples.

Constant time parallel computations in λ-calculus
Authors: Thierry Joly
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

We are studying here the computations over free algebras that can be done in a constant number of complete developments of the pure λ-calculus. In the following, such computations will be called constant time parallel computations (considering that all redexes in a λ-term are reduced "at the same time" to produce its complete development). This has obviously nothing to do with a realistic definition of constant time parallel computation, but the set KΛ of numeric functions that are computable in this way enjoys good closure properties making it close in some sense to the class of elementary functions. We prove that a function over free algebras is computable in parallel constant time in the pure λ-calculus, iff it is representable in the simply typed λ-calculus Λ¨. In considering the latter, the full type structures of Λrarr; prove to be serious tools for an extensional study of the functions λ-representable with constant parallel runtime, giving us in particular a full description of the _-representable predicates.
