Hands On HTML
Authors: Greg Robertson, Donald Doherty, Tim Altom
Venue:  (1999)

:Hands On HTML is not like other books on Hypertext Markup Language. Instead of presenting HTML as discreet elements, this book teaches you HTML through the process of creating a usable first Web site. Using that Web site as a starting point, Hands On HTML guides you through the creation of two progressively more sophisticated Web sites. By the time you finish the third project in the book, you will be using the most advanced capabilities of HTML 4.0, including cascading style sheets and dynamic HTML (DHTML). The companion CD-ROM contains all the HTML code for the bookÆs projects.
A game-theoretic approach towards congestion control in communication networks
Authors: Rahul Garg, Abhinav Kamra, Varun Khurana
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2002)

Most of the end-to-end congestion control schemes are "voluntary" in nature and critically depend on end-user cooperation. We show that in the presence of selfish users, all such schemes will inevitably lead to a congestion collapse. Router and switch mechanisms such as service disciplines and buffer management policies determine the sharing of resources during congestion. We show, using a game-theoretic approach, that all currently proposed mechanisms, either encourage the behaviour that leads to congestion or are oblivious to it.We propose a class of service disciplines called the Diminishing Weight Schedulers (DWS) that punish misbehaving users and reward congestion avoiding well behaved users. We also propose a sample service discipline called the Rate Inverse Scheduling (RIS) from the class of DWS schedulers. With DWS schedulers deployed in the network, max-min fair rates constitute a unique Nash and Stackelberg Equilibrium. We show that RIS solves the problems of excessive congestion due to unresponsive flows, aggressive versions of TCP, multiple parallel connections and is also fair to TCP.

On the recommending of citations for research papers
Authors: Sean M. McNee, Istvan Albert, Dan Cosley, Prateep Gopalkrishnan, Shyong K. Lam, Al Mamunur Rashid, Joseph A. Konstan, John Riedl
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

Collaborative filtering has proven to be valuable for recommending items in many different domains. In this paper, we explore the use of collaborative filtering to recommend research papers, using the citation web between papers to create the ratings matrix. Specifically, we tested the ability of collaborative filtering to recommend citations that would be suitable additional references for a target research paper. We investigated six algorithms for selecting citations, evaluating them through offline experiments against a database of over 186,000 research papers contained in ResearchIndex. We also performed an online experiment with over 120 users to gauge user opinion of the effectiveness of the algorithms and of the utility of such recommendations for common research tasks. We found large differences in the accuracy of the algorithms in the offline experiment, especially when balanced for coverage. In the online experiment, users felt they received quality recommendations, and were enthusiastic about the idea of receiving recommendations in this domain.
Dynamic Restructuring of E-Catalog Communities Based on User Interaction Patterns
Authors: Hye-Young Paik, Boualem Benatallah, Rachid Hamadi
Venue: World Wide Web (2002)

Since e-catalogs are dynamic, autonomous, and heterogeneous, the integration of a potentially large number of dynamic e-catalogs is a delicate and time-consuming task. In this paper, we describe the design and the implementation of a system through which existing on-line product catalogs can be integrated, and the resulting integrated catalogs can be continuously adapted and personalized within a dynamic environment. The integration framework originates from a previous project on integration of Web data, called WebFINDIT. Using the framework, we propose a methodology for adaptation of integrated catalogs based on the observation of customers&apos; interaction patterns.

Nonparametric Identification of Controlled Nonlinear Time Varying Processes
Authors: Nadine Hilgert, Rachid Senoussi, Jean-Pierre Vila
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

We are interested in the identification of an unknown time varying additive component of a controlled nonlinear autoregressive model, a problem of interest in the modeling and control of uncertain systems, such as those met in biotechnological processes. A kernel-based nonparametric estimator is proposed whose almost sure convergence is studied by means of a Lyapunov stabilizability assumption and laws of large numbers for martingales. We then adapt the general result to several classes of deterministic or random functional model uncertainties.

Proceedings of the 2001 Asia-Pacific symposium on Information visualisation - Volume 9
Venue: ACM International Conference Proceeding Series; Vol. 16 (2001)

The aim of Information Visualisation is to facilitate the visual exploration and reporting of abstract information, such as train timetables, family trees, UML diagrams and crime statistics. Key challenges include the creation of effective visual representations and intuitive interaction paradigms. The increasing affordability of computer graphics devices over the past 15 years has promised that Information Visualisation can deliver both at a reasonable cost. The papers presented at InVis.Au, the Australian Information Visualisation Symposium, measure the progress that has been made by researchers, in Australia and abroad, toward the fulfilment of this promise.This proceedings contains 21 papers presented at the symposium. The papers were all strictly refereed by at least two referees. They cover a broad range of topics in Information Visualisation, including architectures for visualisation, novel interaction devices, virtual reality approaches, graph visualisation, as well as applications of information visualisation to software design, web structure and navigation, social networks, instruction generation, knowledge representation, empirical studies of the useability of visualisations.
A critical examination of TDT's cost function
Authors: R. Manmatha, Ao Feng, James Allan
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) tasks are evaluated using a cost function. The standard TDT cost function assumes a constant probability of relevance P(rel) across all topics. In practice, P(rel) varies widely across topics. We argue using both theoretical and experimental evidence that the cost function should be modified to account for the varying P(rel).
Boosting the Performance of Myrinet Networks
Authors: José Flich, Pedro López, M. P. Malumbres, Jose Duato
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

Editor's Note: This paper unfortunately contains some errors which led to the paper being reprinted in the November 2002 issue. Please see IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, vol. 13,no. 11, November 2002, pp. 1166-1182 for the correct paper (available without subscription).Networks of workstations (NOWs) are becoming increasingly popular as a cost-effective alternative to parallel computers. These networks allow the customer to connect processors using irregular topologies, providing the wiring flexibility, scalability, and incremental expansion capability required in this environment. Some of these networks use source routing and wormhole switching. In particular, we are interested in Myrinet networks because it is a well-known commercial product and its behavior can be controlled by the software running in network interfaces (Myrinet Control Program, MCP). Usually, the Myrinet network uses up*/down* routing for computing the paths for every source-destination pair. In this paper, we propose the In-Transit Buffer (ITB) mechanism to improve network performance. We apply the ITB mechanism to NOWs with up*/down* source routing, like Myrinet, analyzing its behavior on both networks with regular and irregular topologies. The proposed scheme can be implemented on Myrinet networks by only modifying the MCP, without changing the network hardware. We evaluate by simulation several networks with different traffic patterns using timing parameters taken from the Myrinet network. Results show that the current routing schemes used in Myrinet networks can be strongly improved by applying the ITB mechanism. In general, our proposed scheme is able to double the network throughput on medium and large NOWs. Finally, we present a first implementation of the ITB mechanism on a Myrinet network.
Interior-Point Methods for the Monotone Semidefinite Linear Complementarity Problem in Symmetric Matrices
Authors: Masakazu Kojima, Susumu Shindoh, Shinji Hara
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

The SDLCP (semidefinite linear complementarity problem) in symmetric matrices introduced in this paper provides a unified mathematical model for various problems arising from systems and control theory and combinatorial optimization. It is defined as the problem of finding a pair $(\X,\Y)$ of $n \times n$ symmetric positive semidefinite matrices which lies in a given $n(n+1)/2$ dimensional affine subspace $\FC$ of $\SC^2$ and satisfies the complementarity condition $\X \bullet \Y = 0$, where $\SC$ denotes the $n(n+1)/2$-dimensional linear space of symmetric matrices and $\X \bullet \Y$ the inner product of $\X$ and $\Y$. The problem enjoys a close analogy with the LCP in the Euclidean space. In particular, the central trajectory leading to a solution of the problem exists under the nonemptiness of the interior of the feasible region and a monotonicity assumption on the affine subspace $\FC$. The aim of this paper is to establish a theoretical basis of interior-point methods with the use of Newton directions toward the central trajectory for the monotone SDLCP.
A Numerical Scheme for Impact Problems II: The Multidimensional Case
Authors: Laetitia Paoli, Michelle Schatzman
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

We consider a mechanical system with impact and n degrees of freedom, written in generalized coordinates. The system is not necessarily Lagrangian. The representative point is subject to a constraint: it must stay inside a closed set K with boundary of class C3. We assume that, at impact, the tangential component of the impulsion is conserved, while its normal coordinate is reflected and multiplied by a given coefficient of restitution $e\in[0,1]$: the mechanically relevant notion of orthogonality is defined in terms of the local metric for the impulsions (local cotangent metric). We define a numerical scheme which enables us to approximate the solutions of the Cauchy problem: this is a generalization of the scheme presented in the companion paper [L. Paoli and M. Schatzman, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 40 (2002), pp. 702--733]. We prove the convergence of this numerical scheme to a solution, which also yields an existence result. Without any a priori estimates, the convergence and the existence are local; with some a priori estimates, the convergence and the existence are proved on intervals depending exclusively on these estimates. The technique of proof uses a localization of the scheme close to the boundary of K; this idea is classical for a differential system studied in the framework of flows of a vector field. It is much more difficult to implement here because finite differences schemes are only approximately local: straightening the boundary creates quadratic terms which cause all the difficulties of the proof.
Time-frequency analysis of breathing signals: in vitro airway model
Authors: D. Elad, G. Soffer, U. Zaretsky, M. Wolf, R. J. Shiner
Venue: Technology and Health Care (2001)

Sound signals of respiratory airflow represent summations of acoustic waves of various frequencies, which basically depend on the characteristics of the flow and on those of the surrounding tissue. This study was designed to examine the capability of time-frequency distribution (TFD) of respiratory signals in order to differentiate between unobstructed and obstructed upper airways. In order to investigate the TFD characteristics of defined upper airway geometry we conducted a controlled basic study in a laboratory system with an {\it in vitro} isolated airway model, which was either unobstructed or had concentric obstructions of various degrees at different locations along the tube. Pressure fluctuations were acquired with a microphone proximal to the airway opening. A short-term Fourier transform was used to study the TFDs of these signals. The results of the {\it in vitro} study showed that the energy of the higher frequencies increased for relatively small incremental changes in: i) reduction of the lumen cross-section, ii) decrease of distance from measurement site to obstruction, and iii) increase of breathing effort. Further development of this method may lead to noninvasive clinical techniques for early diagnosis of upper airway obstructions.
