An improvement on a Spernerity proof of Horrocks
Authors: Szu-En Cheng, Ko-Wei Lih
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

In Horrocks' proof (Horrocks, European Journal of Combinatorics 20 (1999) 131-148) of Lih's conjecture about the Spernerity of filters in a Boolean algebra generated by 2-subsets, there are 116 exceptional graphs to be checked case by case. The details of the analysis could not be published in its entirety. In this paper we carry Horrocks' method much further to reduce the exceptional cases to a manageable number. A complete examination can thus be exhibited.
Optimization and scaling of shared-memory and message-passing implementations of the ZEUS hydrodynamics algorithm
Authors: Robert A. Fiedler
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

We compare the performance of shared-memory and message-passing versions of the ZEUS algorithm for astrophysical fluid dynamics on a 64-processor HP/Convex Exemplar SPP-2000. Single-processor optimization is guided by timing several versions of simple loops whose structure typifies the main performance bottlenecks. Overhead is minimized in the message-passing implementation through the use of non-blocking communication operations. Our benchmark results agree reasonably well with the predictions of a simple performance model. The message-passing version of ZEUS scales better than the shared-memory one primarily because, under shared-memory, (unless data-layout directives are utilized) the domain decomposition is effectively one-dimensional.
Voice over IP performance monitoring
Authors: R. G. Cole, J. H. Rosenbluth
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2001)

We describe a method for monitoring Voice over IP (VoIP) applications based upon a reduction of the ITU-T's E-Model to transport level, measurable quantities. In the process, 1) we identify the relevant transport level quantities, 2) we discuss the tradeoffs between placing the monitors within the VoIP gateways versus placement of the monitors within the transport path, and 3) we identify several areas where further work and consensus within the industry are required. We discover that the relevant transport level quantities are the delay, network packet loss and the decoder's de-jitter buffer packet loss. We find that an in-path monitor requires the definition of a reference de-jitter buffer implementation to estimate voice quality based upon observed transport measurements. Finally, we suggest that more studies are required, which evaluate the quality of various VoIP codecs in the presence of representative packet loss patterns.

Authors: Oryal Tanir
Venue:  (1996)

:If you're a designer, engineer, or researcher who works with complex communications systems, this landmark guide will show you how to describe, model, and measure trade-offs at the architectural level, where specs are first translated into designs - and at the synthesis level, where designs are translated into executable code. Filled with insider details on the latest research and implementations, the book presents a systems approach to modeling and examines key elements of design specification languages and their synthesis to HDLs. It reveals and examines leading-edge techniques and through published research and real-world results demystifies a critical path in the design cycle. This book defines a unique modeling tool and takes you through an introduction to modeling languages and paradigms, the definition of a specification language (DSL) for architectural design, the application of Predicate (Petri) nets to the analysis of complex systems, a unified framework for the design of complex systems, and the application of simulation environments to a useful design framework. You'll also find in-depth case studies from the telecommunications field, covering ATM switching, design of a voice switch, fault-tolerant protocols over a network, and more.
A CAI approach to a user oriented interactive plotting system: SURIPS (southern's user interactive plotting system)
Authors: Tommy G. Dearmond
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

This paper describes an interactive, FORTRAN based graphics system which enables a researcher or student, unfamiliar with programming languages or specialized graphics routines, to rapidly develop the skills necessary for graphic analysis by letting the user "bootstrap" himself on the system. SURIPS utilizes a modular design in both its program structure and its approach to establishing the level of expertise of the current user.The command language of SURIPS is an English like structure and has been used successfully in several numerical analysis and statistics classes at the University of Southern Mississippi. As the users understanding of the techniques involved improves, he is able to utilize the more advanced features of SURIPS while retaining the error detection capabilities of the system.
Interactive path analysis of web site traffic
Authors: Pavel Berkhin, Jonathan D. Beche, Dee Jay Randall
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

The goal of Path Analysis is to understand visitors' navigation of a Web site. The fundamental analysis component is a path. A path is a finite sequence of elements, typically representing URLs or groups of URLs. A full path is an abstraction of a visit or a session, which can contain attributes described below. Subpaths represent interesting subsequences of the full paths.Path Analysis provides user-configurable extraction, filtering, preprocessing, noise reduction, descriptive statistics and detailed analysis of three basic specific objects: elements, (sub)paths, and couples of elements. In each case, lists of frequent objects --- subject to particular filtering and sorting --- are available. We call the corresponding interactive tools Element, Path, and Couple Analyzers.We also allow in-depth exploration of individual elements, paths, and couples: Element Explorer investigates composition and convergence of traffic through an element and allows conditioning based on the number of preceding/succeeding steps. Path Explorer visualizes in and out flows of a path and attrition rate along the path. Couple Explorer presents distinct paths connecting couple elements, along with measures of their association and some additional statistics.
Exploiting late binding in object messaging for implementing object replication
Authors: Yves Eychenne, Michel Simatic, Christophe Baradel, Bruno Kohen
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

Object replication, within object-oriented applications, is a powerful mechanism for flexible and transparent implementation of functionalities such as fault-tolerance, dynamic reconfiguration and distribution management. The approach, presented in this paper, shows the benefits of exploiting a messaging function based on late binding between the method name and the method code. The modification of the code, performing the late binding in the messaging function, permits the dynamic placement of the hook for network message passing which is necessary for object replication between any two objects. This achieves maximal encapsulation of fault-tolerance mechanisms. Additional knowledge of the control-flow of the application (a dynamic data-flow, for example) helps in the control of reentrancy within the modified messaging function in order to reduce the use of network bandwidth and, in order to guarantee any request ordering that might be required by the semantics of object replication.

Unsupervised and supervised learning in radial-basis-function networks
Authors: Friedhelm Schwenker, Hans A. Kestler, Güther Palm
Venue: Self-Organizing neural networks: recent advances and applications (2001)

Learning in radial basis function (RBF) networks is the topic of this chapter. Whereas multilayer perceptions (MLP) are typically trained with backpropagation algorithms, starting the training procedure with a random initalization of the MLP's parameterms, an RBF network may be trained in different wyas. We distinguish one-, two-, and three phase learning. A very common learning scheme for RBF networks is two phase learning. Here, the two layers of an RBF network are trained seperately. First the RBF layer is calculated, including the RBF centers and scaling parameters, and then the weights of the output layer are adapted. The RBF centers may be trained through unsupervised or supervised learning procedures utilizing clustering, vector quantization of classification tree algorithms. The output layer of the network is adatped by supervised learning. Numerical experiments of RBF classifiers trained by two phase learning are presented for the classifiication of 3D visual objects and the recognition of hand-written digits. It can be observed that the performance of RBF classifiers trained with two phase learning can be improved through a thrid back propagation-like learning phase of teh RBF network, adapting the whole set of parameters (RBF centers, scaling parameters, and output layer weights) simultaneously. This, we call three phase learning in RBF networks. A practical advantage of two and three phase learning in RBF networks is the possibility to use unlabeled training data for the first training phase. Support vecgtor (SV) learning in RBFnetworks is a special type of one phase learning, where only the output layer wieghts of the RBF network are calculated, and the RBF centers are restricted to be a subset of the training data. Numerical experiments with several classifier schemes including nearest neighbor classifiers, learning vecgtor quantization networks and RBF classifiers trained through two phase, three phase and support vector learning are given. The performance of the RBF classifiers trained through SV learning and three phase learning are superior to the results of two phase learning.

Tell me a good story: using narrative analysis to examine information requirements interviews during an ERP implementation
Authors: Rosío Alvarez, Jacqueline Urla
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2002)

This paper reports on a participant-observation study examining how clients use narratives to convey information during ERP requirements analysis interviews. Techniques drawn from narrative analysis are used to analyze the structure and content of different types of narratives clients tell during requirements analysis interviews. First, findings reveal that interviewees organized their experience, sought to persuade listeners, and conveyed information to analysts using "stories," "habitual," and "hypothetical" narratives. We argue that cClient narratives provide a pragmatic view of the information system, offering insight into the ways the system is actually used and the habitual practices of the work environment. Second, narratives function to signal the embeddedness of the information system in its larger organizational and social context.While analysts may be inclined to dismiss narratives as messy or asuncodeable data, we argue that the insights they provide merit attention. To the degree that narratives give insight into users' perspectives on organizational issues, they provide knowledge that is essential to any information systems project. This is especially true for ERP projects that, unlike other systems projects, seek to integrate processes spanning the entire organization. ERP projects typically require departments with very different priorities and vocabularies to radically rethink the organization and its habitual practices. Work habits, values, and dilemmas faced by users as recounted in narratives are likely to carry over after the legacy system has been removed. Hence, a sound grasp of these factors is surely advantageous for analysts in assessing the current and future environment of the organization. Future implications for research and practice are also discussed.
A uniform type structure for secure information flow
Authors: Kohei Honda, Nobuko Yoshida
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (2002)

The &pi;-calculus is a formalism of computing in which we can compositionally represent dynamics of major programming constructs by decomposing them into a single communication primitive, the name passing. This work reports our experience in using a linear/affine typed &pi;-calculus for the analysis and development of type systems of programming languages, focussing on secure information flow analysis. After presenting a basic typed calculus for secrecy, we demonstrate its usage by a sound embedding of the dependency core calculus (DCC) and by the development of a novel type discipline for imperative programs which extends both a secure multi-threaded imperative language by Smith and Volpano and (a call-by-value version of) DCC. In each case, the embedding gives a simple proof of noninterference.
An underlying model for defeat mechanisms
Authors: Brent Heeringa, Paul Cohen
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Defeat mechanisms are strategies for achieving victory over an opponent. Although defeat mechanisms often rely on influencing the opponent psychologically and emotionally, most simulations of warfare do not model these "soft" factors, they model only victory by attrition. To create more accurate, adaptable, and believable systems, we must be able to model a variety of defeat mechanisms. We propose a model where parameters and attributes that affect emotional and physical fatigue are combined to produce an overall measure of fatigue called effective fatigue. Effective fatigue, along with an agent's state, is combined by a defeat model to produce probabilities of surrender. We create warfare scenarios involving catastrophe and surprise, and then examine the model's behavior under these scenarios. We conclude with a discussion of how the model is related to our own Capture the Flag wargaming system.
