Multilevel algorithms for multi-constraint graph partitioning
Authors: George Karypis, Vipin Kumar
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

Traditional graph partitioning algorithms compute a k-way partitioning of a graph such that the number of edges that are cut by the partitioning is minimized and each partition has an equal number of vertices. The task of minimizing the edge-cut can be considered as the objective and the requirement that the partitions will be of the same size can be considered as the constraint. In this paper we extend the partitioning problem by incorporating an arbitrary number of balancing constraints. In our formulation, a vector of weights is assigned to each vertex, and the goal is to produce a k-way partitioning such that the partitioning satisfies a balancing constraint associated with each weight, while attempting to minimize the edge-cut. Applications of this multi-constraint graph partitioning problem include parallel solution of multi-physics and multi-phase computations, that underlay many existing and emerging large-scale scientific simulations. We present new multi-constraint graph partitioning algorithms that are based on the multilevel graph partitioning paradigm. Our work focuses on developing new types of heuristics for coarsening, initial partitioning, and refinement that are capable of successfully handling multiple constraints. We experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of our multi-constraint partitioners on a variety of synthetically generated problems.

Long range artillery simulation using component based development techniques and the high level architecture
Authors: Simon A. Colby, D. Lee Beetham
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper describes the use and development of an artillery synthetic environment. This SE will be used to support system concept development and validation for long range and smart munitions. It will also be used for the development of operational concepts for these weapons including an investigation of ISTAR requirements. The SE is a force level analysis tool, representing artillery batteries and company level entities. It is capable of running with a human in the loop or in a closed Monte Carlo mode. The SE has been built using a component-based development approach. The HLA FOM/SOM mechanism is used to describe the interfaces between the component simulations. Each component simulation (federate) represents a different functional area --- such as sensing, combat, and command and control. The component approach has allowed the development team to manage the level of complexity within each federate. This has resulted in a very rapid development cycle and a very flexible and extensible end product.
Testing visual information retrieval methodologies case study: comparative analysis of textual, icon, graphical, and "spring" displays
Authors: Emile Morse, Michael Lewis, Kai A. Olsen
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

Although many different visual information retrieval systems have been proposed, few have been tested, and where testing has been performed, results were often inconclusive. Further, there is very little evidence of benchmarking systems against a common standard. An approach for testing novel interfaces is proposed that uses bottom-up, stepwise testing to allow evaluation of a visualization, itself, rather than restricting evaluation to the system instantiating it. This approach not only makes it easier to control variables, but the tests are also easier to perform. The methodology will be presented through a case study, where a new visualization technique is compared to more traditional ways of presenting data.
Formal definition of mappings in a data base
Authors: P. Paolini, G. Pelagatti
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problem of mapping between different levels of a data base.A data Base is viewed as an Abstract Object upon which it is possible to operate with a given set of operations, the result of which depends both on the "type" of the object and on its state.Following this approach and utilizing some algebraic formalism we analyze the mappings between external views of a data base and the conceptual view of the data base itself. The main result is a requirement on the consistency between the process of deriving an external view from the conceptual view and the translation of external (user) operations into conceptual operations.It is also shown that this requirement is not sufficient to characterize the "interference" arising from a shared use of a Data Base.Informal and formal examples illustrating these concepts are given.

Automatic time-bound analysis for a higher-order language
Authors: Gustavo Gómez, Yanhong A. Liu
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

Analysis of program running time is important for several applications, including reactive systems, interactive environments, compiler optimizations and performance evaluation. Automatic and efficient prediction of accurate time bounds is particularly important, and being able to do so for high-level languages is particularly desirable. This paper presents a general approach for automatic and accurate time-bound analysis for a functional high-level language, that combines methods and techniques studied in theory, languages, and systems. The approach consists of transformations for building time-bound functions in the presence of partially known input structures, symbolic evaluation of the time-bound function based on input parameters, optimizations to make the analysis efficient as well as accurate, and measurements of primitive parameters, all at the source-language level. To handle higher-order functions, special transformations are needed to build lambda expressions for computing running times, to optimize the construction of the time lambda expressions, and to optimize the symbolic evaluation. It took us several tries to obtain the simple and concise transformations for handling lambda expressions. We describe analysis and transformation algorithms and explain how they work. We have implemented this approach and performed a large number of experiments analyzing Scheme programs. The measured worst-case times are closely bounded by the calculated bounds. We describe our prototype system, ALPA, as well as the analysis and measurement results.

JUMP mode---a dynamic window-based scheduling framework for Bluetooth scatternets
Authors: Niklas Johansson, Fredrik Alriksson, Ulf Jönsson
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

The emerging Bluetooth technology enables devices to be wirelessly connected in an ad hoc fashion. Using Bluetooth, devices are organized into small piconets, which in turn may be inter-connected to form larger networks called scatternets. In a scatternet, some of the devices participate in more than one piconet. These nodes are called PMP (Participant in Multiple Piconets) nodes. Since a Bluetooth unit only hence one transceiver, it may only be active in one piconet at any given instant and hance a PMP node must schedule its time between piconets on a time-division basis. The availability of PMP nodes represents an important performance constraint when building scatternets and has to be effectively coordinated between the different piconets. To allow flexible and efficient scatternet operation and to overcome the shortcomings of the current Bludetooth modes, we proposed a new mode---JUMP mode. This mode includes a set of communication rules that enable efficient scatternet operation by offering a great deal of flexibility for a node to adapt its activity in different piconets to the traffic conditions. Using JUMP mode a PMP node divides the time into timewindows and then signals about which piconet to be present in for each of these time windows. The time windows are of pseudo random length to eliminate systematic collisions and thereby avoid starvation and live-lock problems without any need for scatternet-wide may coordination. Besides enabling scatternet operation, JUMP mode also enhance other aspects of Bluetooth , such as low-power operation

Approximation of a direction of Nd in bounded coordinates
Authors: Jean-Christophe Novelli, Gilles Schaeffer, Florent Hivert
Venue: Mobile Networks and Applications (2001)

In this paper, we address the following problem: a direction in Rd is given by a vector with large integral coordinates and we have to find a vector with bounded integral coordinates which realizes a good approximation of this direction. We present a short algorithm that efficiently computes an optimal approximation with respect to the distance to the direction. We then compare experimental results with those of a straightforward rounding algorithm with respect to the distance to the direction and to the angle with it.
