Evaluating the precision of static reference analysis using profiling
Authors: Donglin Liang, Maikel Pennings, Mary Jean Harrold
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2002)

Program analyses and optimizations of Java programs require reference information that determines the instances that may be accessed through dereferences. Reference information can be computed using reference analysis. This paper presents a set of studies that evaluate the precision of two existing approaches for identifying instances and one approach for computing reference information in a reference analysis. The studies use dynamic reference information collected during run-time as a lower bound approximation to the precise reference information. The studies measure the precision of an existing approach by comparing the information computed using the approach with the lower bound approximation. The paper also presents case studies that attempt to identify the cases under which an existing approach is not effective. The presented studies provide information that may guide the usage of existing reference-analysis techniques and the development of new reference analysis techniques.

Computer-aided coarse grid layout technique for photomasks
Authors: Ronald G. Geer
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

A comprehensive computer-aided mask layout technique has been developed which permits quick conversion of LSI circuits into working photomasks. It is an efficient solution to the problem when the demand for customized circuit layouts greatly overshadows the more standardized techniques. No computer background or programming experience is required. This approach allows the designer to quickly compose high-density mask layouts using simple free-hand line symbols. These easily drawn symbols, representing complex circuitry, utilize a standard device-level building block library which simplifies the conversion of LSI circuits into photomasks, and permits the designer to generate up to 100% of the layout without leaving his desk.
A Matrix Nearness Problem Related to Iterative Methods
Authors: Marko Huhtanen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

We consider a matrix nearness problem arising from an analysis of the speed of convergence of GMRES for solving a linear system $Ax=b$ with $A \in \Bbb C^{n \times n}$ and $b\in \Bbb C^n$. More precisely, denoting by ${\cal F}_k$ the set of matrices of rank $k$ at most, we solve $$\min_{S\in {\cal S}, F_k \in {\cal F}_k} \Vert A- S -F_k\Vert, $$%\end{equation} where ${\cal S}\subset \Bbb C^{n \times n}$ denotes the set of matrices of the form $e^{i\theta }H-\lambda I$ with $\theta \in [0,2\pi)$, $\lambda \in \Bbb C$, and $H$ belonging to the set of Hermitian matrices. As to iterative methods, the set ${\cal S}$ is of interest in a larger context. To give an example, having a regular splitting A=S+Fk of A, the system Ax=b can be solved using a (k+3)-term recurrence with inner-outer iterations.
Object oriented APL: an introduction and overview
Authors: Robert G. Brown
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on APL-Berlin-2000 conference (2000)

The importance of Object-Oriented techniques is perhaps one of the most significant changes in programming over the last decade or more; in 1991, a team of three (Jacob Brickman, Michael J. Kent, and the author) began looking into what would be required to extend APL interpreters to provide native support for OO. At this writing, we have a great deal of agreement about overall architecture, some significant issues to resolve, an overall consensus that it is time to share these ideas, and we have also come a long way in learning what is required of APL interpreter developers. This effort has driven each of us into topics we might not have explored otherwise, and this knowledge has been used to good effect elsewhere. The purpose of this paper is not so much in providing exhaustive enumeration of the definitions we have agreed upon, but to introduce our architecture to interested parties, show that APL can be extended with OO in reasonable ways, and stimulate serious discussion of this topic among system developers and other APL implementers.
Nonsmooth Shape Optimization Applied to Linear Acoustics
Authors: Abderrahmane Habbal
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

The purpose of this paper is to study the optimal design problem of a nonsmooth shape, applied to linear acoustics in a bounded domain. Within the classical Helmholtz model, we consider the maximum of the acoustical pressure in a prescribed sensitive area as cost function to be minimized. A given part of the boundary of the domain is considered as the design variable. The existence of subgradients is demonstrated, and a technique for computing them is described. It turns out that the classical (differentiable) sensitivity subroutines could be used in order to compute subgradients. The numerical results presented tend to show that the acoustical pressure is not very sensitive to small changes of the shape for low frequencies, but it is sensitive for medium frequencies, and one obtains an optimal shape for the L2 cost that is slightly different from the one obtained for the L{\infty}$ cost.
Efficient parallel implementations for surface subdivision
Authors: E. J. Padrón, M. Amor, M. Bóo, R. Doallo
Venue: Proceedings of the Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (2002)

Achieving an efficient surface subdivision is an important issue today in computer graphics, geometric modeling, and scientific visualization. In this paper we present two parallel versions of the Modified Butterfly algorithm. Both versions are based on a coarse-grain approach, that is, the original mesh is subdivided into small groups and each processor performs the triangles subdivision for a set of groups of the mesh. First approach sorts the groups in decreasing order of number of triangles per group, and then the sorted groups are cyclically distributed on the processors in order to achieve a good load distribution. In the second parallel version the processors can dynamically balance the work load by passing groups from heavier loaded processors to lighter ones, achieving in that way a better load balance. Finally, we evaluate the algorithms on two different systems: a SGI Origin 2000 and a Sun cluster. Good performances in terms of speedup have been obtained using both static and dynamic parallel implementations.

R&D Collaboration on Trial: The Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation
Authors: David V. Gibson, Everett M. Rogers
Venue:  (1994)

:Shaken by the dramatic inroads made by Japanese competitors into high-tech electronics, a number of U.S. electronic firms joined forces in 1982 to form the first U.S. for-profit research consortium: MCC (Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corp.). Since then more than 200 other consortia have been formed in a variety of industries. The authors describe MCC's formation, the problems it encountered, and its progress from its rocky inception under Admiral Bobby Inman through its recent past under Dr. Craig Fields. At the same time, they examine the crucial role that public/private alliances at the local level played in the choice of Austin, Texas as the site for MCC and, more generally, in the rise of Texas high-tech industry and the emergence of Austin as a computer and technology center. The authors also address the important management issues that this very new kind of business organization raises. These include questions about the ability of competing companies to work together successfully; about their ability to transfer R&D findings to members; and about the implications of these consortia for national and international competitiveness.

PointRight: experience with flexible input redirection in interactive workspaces
Authors: Brad Johanson, Greg Hutchins, Terry Winograd, Maureen Stone
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2002)

We describe the design of and experience with PointRight, a peer-to-peer pointer and keyboard redirection system that operates in multi-machine, multi-user environments. PointRight employs a geometric model for redirecting input across screens driven by multiple independent machines and operating systems. It was created for interactive workspaces that include large, shared displays and individual laptops, but is a general tool that supports many different configurations and modes of use. Although previous systems have provided for re-routing pointer and keyboard control, in this paper we present a more general and flexible system, along with an analysis of the types of re-binding that must be handled by any pointer redirection system This paper describes the system, the ways in which it has been used, and the lessons that have been learned from its use over the last two years.

Interfacing users with very severe mobility restrictions with a semi-automatically guided wheelchair
Authors: Julio Abascal, Daniel Cagigas, Nestor Garay, Luis Gardeazabal
Venue: Issue 63 (January 1999) (1999)

TetraNauta is an on-going R&D project aimed to develop a controller for standard electric-powered wheelchairs that permits users with very severe mobility restrictions (such as people with tetraplegy) to easily navigate in closed environments (home, hospital, school, etc.). This project intends to design a non-expensive guidance system to help this kind of users to drive the wheelchair with the minimum effort, but maintaining the user as active as possible. For this reason the design of the user interface is a key factor. Some characteristic of this interface can be taken as a workbench for the design of more complex and security critical mobile systems.

Analysis of a campus-wide wireless network
Authors: David Kotz, Kobby Essien
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

Understanding usage patterns in wireless local-area networks (WLANs) is critical for those who develop, deploy, and manage WLAN technology, as well as those who develop systems and application software for wireless networks. This paper presents results from the largest and most comprehensive trace of network activity in a large, production wireless LAN. For eleven weeks we traced the activity of nearly two thousand users drawn from a general campus population, using a campus-wide network of 476 access points spread over 161 buildings. Our study expands on those done by Tang and Baker, with a significantly larger and broader population.We found that residential traffic dominated all other traffic, particularly in residences populated by newer students; students are increasingly choosing a wireless laptop as their primary computer. Although web protocols were the single largest component of traffic volume, network backup and file sharing contributed an unexpectedly large amount to the traffic. Although there was some roaming within a network session, we were surprised by the number of situations in which cards roamed excessively, unable to settle on one access point. Cross-subnet roams were an especial problem, because they broke IP connections, indicating the need for solutions that avoid or accommodate such roams.
