Verisim: Formal Analysis of Network Simulations
Authors: Karthikeyan Bhargavan, Carl A. Gunter, Insup Lee, Oleg Sokolsky, Moonjoo Kim, Davor Obradovic, Mahesh Viswanathan
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2002)

Network protocols are often analyzed using simulations. We demonstrate how to extend such simulations to check propositions expressing safety properties of network event traces in an extended form of linear temporal logic. Our technique uses the NS simulator together with a component of the MaC system to provide a uniform framework. We demonstrate its effectiveness by analyzing simulations of the Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for packet radio networks. Our analysis finds violations of significant properties and we discuss the faults that cause them. Novel aspects of our approach include modest integration costs with other simulation objectives such as performance evaluation, greatly increased flexibility in specifying properties to be checked and techniques for analyzing complex traces of alarms raised by the monitoring software.
I have a little list: the ten indispensables
Authors: Miki Magyar
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Even in this high-tech, fast-paced, multi-media world, the simple list is still one of the most useful tools for the technical communicator. It may be as basic as a sticky note or as elaborate as a task list for building a rocket, but the concept is the same. Each list provides the answer to a question, and should solve some problem or make life easier for you.In this paper I will first explore when and how to develop a list. Then, using ten of the most common types as examples, I'll show what problem each list solves or what question it answers. The presentation will add details about these and use examples from the audience to work thorough an exercise to develop customized lists for specific situations.

On the complexity of equilibria
Authors: Xiaotie Deng, Christos Papadimitriou, Shmuel Safra
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

We prove complexity, approximability, and inapproximability results for the problem of finding an exchange equilibrium in markets with indivisible (integer) goods, most notably a polynomial-time algorithm that approximates the market equilibrium arbitrarily closely when the number of goods is bounded and the utilities are linear. We also show a communication complexity lower bound, implying that the ideal informational economy of a market with unique individual optima is unattainable in general.
Estimating business targets
Authors: Piew Datta, James H. Drew, Andrew Betz, D. R. Mani, Jeffery Howard
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Determining and setting maximal revenue expectations or other business performance targets---whether it is for regional company divisions or individual customers---can have profound financial implications. Operational techniques are changed, staffing levels are altered and management attention is re-focused---all in the name of expectations. In practice these expectations are often derived in an ad hoc manner. To address this unsupervised task, we combine nearest neighbor methods and classical statistical methods and derive a new solution to the classical econometric task of frontier analysis. We apply our methodology to two real world business problems in Verizon, a major telecommunications provider in the United States, more specifically in the print yellow page division Verizon Information Services: (1) identifying under marketed customers for targeted upselling campaigns and focused sales attention, and (2) benchmarking regional directory divisions to incent performance improvements. Our analysis uncovers some commercially useful aspects of these domains and by conservative estimates can increase revenue by several million dollars in each domain.

IP reuse in the system on a chip era
Authors: Warren Savage, John Chilton, Raul Camposano
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

Intellectual Property (IP) Reuse is one of the keys for System on a Chip (SoC) design productivity improvement. Although IP reuse has been explored both technically and as a business for many years, only recently systematic approaches based on EDA technology are starting to emerge in the marketplace. This paper gives an introduction to IP creation, IP conversion and the necessary infrastructure. We address the technical challenges and show that a strict quality based design methodology is the cornerstone to IP reuse. The paper ends with a brief overview of the current marketplace and an outlook of where the industry may go.
Data Smog: Surviving the Information Glut
Authors: David Shenk
Venue:  (1998)

:We are awash in information: faxes, e-mail, news, infotainment, and advertising overwhelm us even as CEOs and politicians herald the dawn of a glorious and profitable Information Age. Media scholar and cyber-pundit David Shank deftly dismantles all the hype and exposes the unsettling impact of information overload, or data smog, on our individual well-being (emotional and physical) and on our society at large. This myth-shattering manifesto also outlines a welter of practical strategies for minimizing data smog's polluting effects - from curtailing junkmail and telephone sales pitches to instituting all-out "data fasts."
Simulation in a box: a generic reusable maintenance model
Authors: Nancy Brown, Steve Powers
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Simulation models can be time-consuming to build and often multiple models are built to simulate similar systems that have small differences. While developing a model to evaluate the impact of maintenance functions on the day-to-day operations of an Air Force Wing, thought was given to how the same concepts could be applied to other military and commercial maintenance operations. This simulation was designed specifically to support a model of Air Force Wing operations and the maintenance functions associated with them. The secondary objective was to ensure the simulation could evolve into a generic model with applications across the military and in the commercial world. This paper discusses considerations and challenges in designing and moving to a generic model. The current version of the model from the user's and modeler's view is also presented.
Hiding Relaxed Memory Consistency with a Compiler
Authors: Jaejin Lee, David A. Padua
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

We present a compiler technique, which is based on Shasha and Snir's delay set analysis, to hide the underlying relaxed memory consistency model for an optimizing compiler for explicitly parallel programs. The compiler presents programmers with a sequentially consistent view of the underlying machine, irrespective of whether it follows a sequentially consistent model or a relaxed model. To hide the underlying relaxed memory consistency model and to guarantee sequential consistency, our algorithm inserts fence instructions by identifying memory-barrier nodes. We reduce the number of fence instructions by exploiting the ordering constraints of the underlying memory consistency model and the property of fence and synchronization operations. We introduce dominators with respect to a node in a control flow graph to identify memory-barrier nodes and show that minimizing the number of memory-barrier nodes is NP-hard

Branching time controllers for discrete event systems
Authors: P. Madhusudan, P. S. Thiagarajan
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We study the problem of synthesizing controllers for discrete event systems in a branching time framework. We use a class of labelled transition systems to model both plants and specifications. We use first simulations and later bisimulations to capture the role of a controller; the controlled behaviour of the plant should be related via a simulation (bisimulation) to the specification. For both simulations and bisimulations we show that the problem of checking if a pair of finite transition systems - one modelling the plant and the other the specification - admits a controller is decidable in polynomial time. We also show that the size of the controller, if one exists, can be bounded by a polynomial in the sizes of the plant and the specification and can be effectively constructed in polynomial time. Finally, we prove that in the case of simulations, the problem of checking for the existence of a controller is undecidable in a natural concurrent setting.

WebQuests: changing the way we teach online
Authors: Brenda Hopkins-Moore, Susan Fowler
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

This paper introduces WebQuests as potential teaching tools for HCI and software design educators. Based on our daylong observations of a high-school class, we believe that WebQuests can be adapted for use in online as well as classroom-based education and for use with adults as well as children. The WebQuest model offers three advantages for HCI educators. One is that the students construct their own knowledge and meaning, and thereby learn the material more thoroughly. Another is that a WebQuest, if done correctly, takes advantage of more learning styles. We observed aural, kinesthetic, and visual learning styles, for example. The third advantage is that, since WebQuests are team projects, students learn to work in teams.
