The Flow of a DAE near a Singular Equilibrium
Authors: R. E. Beardmore, R. Laister
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2002)

We extend the differential-algebraic equation (DAE) taxonomy by assuming that the linearization of a DAE about a singular equilibrium has a particular index-2 Kronecker normal form. A Lyapunov--Schmidt procedure is used to reduce the DAE to a quasilinear normal form which is shown to posses quasi-invariant manifolds which intersect the singularity. In turn, this provides solutions of the DAE which pass through the singularity.
Empirical likelihood ratio in terms of cumulative hazard function for censored data
Authors: Xiao-Rong Pan, Mai Zhou
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

It has been shown that (with complete data) empirical likelihood ratios can be used to form confidence intervals and test hypotheses about a linear functional of the distribution function just like the parametric case. We study here the empirical likelihood ratios for right censored data and with parameters that are linear functionals of the cumulative hazard function. Martingale techniques make the asymptotic analysis easier, even for random weighting functions. It is shown that the empirical likelihood ratio in this setting can be easily obtained by solving a one parameter monotone equation.
Allia: alliance-based service discovery for ad-hoc environments
Authors: Olga Ratsimor, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Anupam Joshi, Timothy Finin
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international workshop on Mobile commerce (2002)

Static directory based service discovery is unsuitable for m-commerce in ad-hoc environments. In this paper, we present Allia: a peer-to-peer caching based and policy-driven agent-service discovery framework to facilitate cross-platform service discovery in ad-hoc environments for mobile electronic commerce applications. Our approach removes the problems associated with structured compound formation of agent communities in mobile commerce environment and achieves high degree of flexibility in adapting itself to the changes of the ad-hoc environment. Our framework takes into consideration device capabilities and limitations, user preferences regarding usage of the devices, application specifics with respect to mobile commerce and adapts accordingly. We also present an initial implementation of Allia over ThinkPads and iPAQs by extending the LEAP Agent Platform and using Bluetooth as the underlying network protocol.

An Incremental Gradient(-Projection) Method with Momentum Term and Adaptive Stepsize Rule
Authors: Paul Tseng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

We consider an incremental gradient method with momentum term for minimizing the sum of continuously differentiable functions. This method uses a new adaptive stepsize rule that decreases the stepsize whenever sufficient progress is not made. We show that if the gradients of the functions are bounded and Lipschitz continuous over a certain level set, then every cluster point of the iterates generated by the method is a stationary point. In addition, if the gradient of the functions have a certain growth property, then the method is either linearly convergent in some sense or the stepsizes are bounded away from zero. The new stepsize rule is much in the spirit of heuristic learning rules used in practice for training neural networks via backpropagation. As such, the new stepsize rule may suggest improvements on existing learning rules. Finally, extension of the method and the convergence results to constrained minimization is discussed, as are some implementation issues and numerical experience.

A real time 3D stratigraphic visual simulation system for archaeological analysis and hypothesis testing
Authors: D. Green, J. Cosmas, T. Itagaki, M. Waelkens, R. Degeest, E. Grabczewski
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

During an archaeological dig, a great deal of data relating to stratigraphic positioning (SP) is recorded. This data is recorded in a variety of different formats, individual excavation logbooks, stratigraphy forms, and in theodolite measurements. The widely used archaeological practice of analysis and representation of SP is the Harris Matrix approach [1]. This is a valuable technique to analyse and compare 2D SP data, now with the advent of cheap and powerful 3D computing, there is a growing need for the archaeologist on site to test hypotheses and gain immediate results. The 3D representation and analysis of this SP data, with the ability to perform real-time hypotheses without prolonged sifting through hard copies of excavation logbooks presents a real innovation to future archaeological interpretation. This paper details the benefits, requirements and pitfalls of visualizing stratigraphy with this new SP tool.

Maximum Norm Analysis of Overlapping Nonmatching Grid Discretizations of Elliptic Equations
Authors: Xiao-Chuan Cai, Tarek P. Mathew, Marcus V. Sarkis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

In this paper, we provide a maximum norm analysis of a finite difference scheme defined on overlapping nonmatching grids for second order elliptic equations. We consider a domain which is the union of p overlapping subdomains where each subdomain has its own independently generated grid. The grid points on the subdomain boundaries need not match the grid points from adjacent subdomains. To obtain a global finite difference discretization of the elliptic problem, we employ standard stable finite difference discretizations within each of the overlapping subdomains and the different subproblems are coupled by enforcing continuity of the solutions across the boundary of each subdomain, by interpolating the discrete solution on adjacent subdomains. If the subdomain finite difference schemes satisfy a strong discrete maximum principle and if the overlap is sufficiently large, we show that the global discretization converges in optimal order corresponding to the largest truncation errors of the local interpolation maps and discretizations. Our discretization scheme and the corresponding theory allows any combination of lower order and higher order finite difference schemes in different subdomains. We describe also how the resulting linear system can be solved iteratively by a parallel Schwarz alternating method or a Schwarz preconditioned Krylov subspace iterative method. Several numerical results are included to support the theory.

XML: A Primer, 1st edition
Authors: Simon St. Laurent
Venue:  (1997)

:You spend hours designing and formatting your Web pages to look just right, but when users log on to your site -- wham! -- all your carefully formatted data is scattered helter-skelter across the page! Now theres no need to curse the quirks of HMTL. Instead, skip over all those cumbersome and redundant HTML tags and jump to the head of the class with XML (eXtensible Markup Language), the new technology being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. XML offers all the power of HTML and SGML scripting without all the headaches, giving developers a robust new tool in managing information and page formatting with increasing flexibility and usability that's just not possible with today's HMTL. XML: A Primer takes Web developers through the ins and outs of XML, including tips on integrating XML with Dynamic HTML and Cascading Style Sheets; creating custom search tools, Document Type Definitions (DTDs), customized tips, and commercial Web solutions; managing documents with XML; and using XML for data-driven applications. XML offers developers the opportunity to create documents with built-in frameworks that make getting consistent results much easier, time after time. Best of all, XML is backward-compatible to help ease your transition from HTML into the next phase of Web-based formatting and architecture. XML combines the strength of SGML with simplicity, versatility, and readability by people and machines. Now designers and developers can create and manage their own formatting tags, content, and hyperlinks, instead of relying on the idiosyncrasies of HTML. "XML," says author Simon St. Laurent, "is HTML done right."

Authors: Peter M. Heinckiens
Venue:  (1998)

:"This is an excellent book. It is relevant, readable, timely, and technically accurate. The author has a good handle on what is important to the industry, separating the hype from the practical solutions." -Rick Cattell "Peter's book is rich with code examples that will help you understand exactly how to follow his footsteps to get a working system." -Mary Loomis Building Scalable Database Applications: Object-Oriented Design, Architectures, and Implementation is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to building client/server applications by developing a stable and reusable business model. The business and database models illustrated in this book both address the unique challenge of manipulating object storage and retrieval from a developer's point of view. Software engineers and programmers need this information to lead their development teams toward businesswide distributed software systems. This book demonstrates the pragmatic approach of integrating systems that are currently in use into a cost-effective and time-saving object-oriented system. The approach allows for the business model and the database schema to operate independently so that they can evolve individually, allowing them to be easily reused and maintained. Highlights include: llustration of the design for reusable business components Maximization of reuse and openness Application of inheritance techniques to database design Migration from legacy and relational systems to object orientation without discarding your investments This is the first book to thoroughly cover scalable database applications;Building Scalable Database Applications focuses on building independent models that are free from all database and user-interface aspects.
