Shading for Fourier Volume Rendering
Authors: Alireza Entezari, Randy Scoggins, Torsten Möller, Raghu Machiraju
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE symposium on Volume visualization and graphics (2002)

The work presented here describes two methods to incorporate viable illumination models into Fourier Volume Rendering (FVR). The lack of adequate illumination has been one of the impediments for the wide spread acceptance of FVR. Our first method adapts the Gamma Corrected Hemispherical Shading (GCHS) proposed by Scoggins et al. [11] for FVR. We achieve interactive rendering for constant diffusive light sources. Our second method operates on data transformed by spherical harmonic functions. This latter approach allows for illumination under varying light directions. It should be noted that we only consider diffuse lighting in this paper. We demonstrate and compare the effect of these two new models on the rendered image and document speed and accuracy improvements.

Supercomputing and the Transformation of Science
Authors: William J. Kaufmann, Larry L. Smarr
Venue:  (1992)

:The development of the supercomputer has given scientists an awesome new capability: the power to virtually re-create the physical world on the computer screen, with a stunning degree of precision and sophistication. Everything from weather systems to biochemical interactions to car crashes to air pollution to high speed subatomic particle collisions can now be simulated, manipulated, and observed at the scientist's will. As a result, supercomputers have led to profound levels of insight and understanding. Indeed, they have revolutionized the very process of scientific discovery itself. Scientists no longer have to rely exclusively on either experiment-based or theoretical research methodologies, but rather can utilize both direct observation and mathematical modeling to visualize and simulate complex phenomena. The fascinating, strikingly illustrated Supercomputing and the Transformation of Science provides a state-of-the-art look at the capabilities and scientific contributions of the most powerful computers. Written by noted science author William Kaufmann and supercomputing expert Larry Smarr, the book examines the hardware, software, and techniques of supercomputing, showing how these powerful machines "solve" the mathematical laws that govern natural phenomena and convert the numbers into comprehensive visual images. The book then explores the impact of this extraordinary technology on a wide range of endeavors from medicine to environmental protection, from particle physics to astronomy, from automobile design to meteorology. The computer revolution continues to surge ahead. Reporting from the leading edge of the revolution, Supercomputing and the Transformation of Science shows us how far we have come in devising ways to understand the world in which we live. It is a celebration of the drive for knowledge that led to the development of the first computer not so long ago.
The inference problem for template dependencies
Authors: Yuri Gurevich, Harry R. Lewis
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1982)

A template dependency is a formalized integrity constraint on a relational database, stating that whenever tuples exist in the database that agree on certain attributes, an additional tuple must also be present that agrees with the others in a specified way. It is here shown that the inference problem for template dependencies is undecidable, that is, there can be no algorithm for determining whether a given dependency is a logical consequence of a given finite set of dependencies. The undecidability result holds whether or not databases are considered to be necessarily finite.

Management Information Systems for the Information Age, 1st edition
Authors: Stephen Haag, Maeve Cummings, James Dawkins
Venue:  (1997)

:This text will fit best in an MIS course where students have to do a lot of hands-on,problem-solving projects,especially on the Internet. Haag works well for professors who want an interactive,engaging experience. If a professor has large classes or wants a way to get everyone involved (bus/non-business majors),this is the book for them. The overall content and organization of the book has been retained,providing a clearly focused overview of Information Systems. The Second Edition continues to cover Management Information Systems concepts with a different approach and organization of topics compared to traditional introductory I. S. books for example. Electronic Commerce and its effect on organizations is a major theme in this text,threaded through each chapter. The authors assume that students know a little about hardware and software and focus more on the way organizations use information systems. There are many sidebars,boxes,and examples pulled from real-world organizations and many individual and group projects for students to work on-tying theory to practice. This is perhaps our most practical,hands-on text.
Algorithm 820: A flexible implementation of matching pursuit for Gabor functions on the interval
Authors: Sebastian E. Ferrando, Lawrence A. Kolasa, Natasha Kovačević
Venue: ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) (2002)

In digital signal processing it is often advantageous to analyze a given signal using an adaptive method. The signal is approximated or represented as a superposition of "basic" waveforms chosen from a dictionary of such waveforms so as to best match the signal. The matching pursuit algorithm of Mallat and Zhang is such a method and is discussed in the context of discretized Gabor functions on an interval. We describe two software implementations based on these dictionaries. Both implementations rely on functions defined on an interval to avoid edge effects. One implementation allows for users to have great flexibility in the Gabor dictionary to be used. This is a useful improvement over other implementations, which only allow for a fixed dictionary. The other implementation takes advantage of the FFT algorithm and is faster. These implementations are written in C++, and can be used in practical applications.
Containment units: a hierarchically composable architecture for adaptive systems
Authors: Jamieson M. Cobleigh, Leon J. Osterweil, Alexander Wise, Barbara Staudt Lerner
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGSOFT symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2002)

Software is increasingly expected to run in a variety of environments. The environments themselves are often dynamically changing when using mobile computers or embedded systems, for example. Network bandwidth, available power, or other physical conditions may change, necessitating the use of alternative algorithms within the software, and changing resource mixes to support the software. We present Containment Units as a software architecture useful for recognizing environmental changes and dynamically reconfiguring software and resource allocations to adapt to those changes. We present examples of Containment Units used within robotics along with the results of actual executions, and the application of static analysis to obtain assurances that those Containment Units can be expected to demonstrate the robustness for which they were designed.

A Moving Mesh Method for One-dimensional Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
Authors: John M. Stockie, John A. Mackenzie, Robert D. Russell
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We develop an adaptive method for solving one-dimensional systems of hyperbolic conservation laws that employs a high resolution Godunov-type scheme for the physical equations, in conjunction with a moving mesh PDE governing the motion of the spatial grid points. Many other moving mesh methods developed to solve hyperbolic problems use a fully implicit discretization for the coupled solution-mesh equations, and so suffer from a significant degree of numerical stiffness. We employ a semi-implicit approach that couples the moving mesh equation to an efficient, explicit solver for the physical PDE, with the resulting scheme behaving in practice as a two-step predictor-corrector method. In comparison with computations on a fixed, uniform mesh, our method exhibits more accurate resolution of discontinuities for a similar level of computational work.

Linear Programming Formulation for Optimal Stopping Problems
Authors: Moon Jung Cho, Richard H. Stockbridge
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

Optimal stopping problems for continuous time Markov processes are shown to be equivalent to infinite-dimensional linear programs over a space of pairs of measures under very general conditions. The measures involved represent the joint distribution of the stopping time and stopping location and the occupation measure of the process until it is stopped. These measures satisfy an identity for each function in the domain of the generator which is sufficient to characterize the stochastic process. Finite-dimensional linear programs obtained using Markov chain approximations are solved in two examples to illustrate the numerical accuracy of the linear programming formulation.

Atomic Decomposition by Basis Pursuit
Authors: Scott Shaobing Chen, David L. Donoho, Michael A. Saunders
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

The time-frequency and time-scale communities have recently developed a large number of overcomplete waveform dictionaries---stationary wavelets, wavelet packets, cosine packets, chirplets, and warplets, to name a few. Decomposition into overcomplete systems is not unique, and several methods for decomposition have been proposed, including the method of frames (MOF), matching pursuit (MP), and, for special dictionaries, the best orthogonal basis (BOB).Basis pursuit (BP) is a principle for decomposing a signal into an "optimal"' superposition of dictionary elements, where optimal means having the smallest l1 norm of coefficients among all such decompositions. We give examples exhibiting several advantages over MOF, MP, and BOB, including better sparsity and superresolution. BP has interesting relations to ideas in areas as diverse as ill-posed problems, abstract harmonic analysis, total variation denoising, and multiscale edge denoising.BP in highly overcomplete dictionaries leads to large-scale optimization problems. With signals of length 8192 and a wavelet packet dictionary, one gets an equivalent linear program of size 8192 by 212,992. Such problems can be attacked successfully only because of recent advances in linear and quadratic programming by interior-point methods. We obtain reasonable success with a primal-dual logarithmic barrier method and conjugate-gradient solver.
Analysing software requirements specifications for performance
Authors: Dorin Petriu, Murray Woodside
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

The earliest moment when performance issues can be addressed is the initial specification of a software system, during the formulation of the architecture, and well before the design stage. A common form of specification at this stage is a set of scenarios to be executed by the system, which embody the Use Cases, and identify the sequence of responsibilities to be carried out in different kinds of responses. On the basis that earlier analysis is better, a performance modeling capability has been installed in a scenario modeling tool for Use Case Maps that is part of a proposed standard for User Requirements Notation. Using examples, the paper shows how this kind of early analysis can address high-level performance questions, at a comparable level of abstraction to the specification. The imprecision of early knowledge, and the risk of ignoring some performance limitations, are key factors whose impact is addressed.
