The use of visual information in shared visual spaces: informing the development of virtual co-presence
Authors: Robert E. Kraut, Darren Gergle, Susan R. Fussell
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

A shared visual workspace is one where multiple people can see the same objects at roughly the same time. We present findings from an experiment investigating the effects of shared visual space on a collaborative puzzle task. We show that having the shared visual space helps collaborators understand the current state of their task and enables them to communicate and ground their conversations efficiently. These processes are associated with faster and better task performance. Delaying the visual update in the space reduces benefits and degrades performance. The shared visual space is more useful when tasks are visually complex or when actors have no simple vocabulary for describing their world. We find evidence for the ways in which participants adapt their discourse processes to their level of shared visual information.

Approximation of the Stability Number of a Graph via Copositive Programming
Authors: E. de Klerk, D. V. Pasechnik
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

Lovász and Schrijver [SIAM J. Optim., 1 (1991), pp. 166--190] showed how to formulate increasingly tight approximations of the stable set polytope of a graph by solving semidefinite programs (SDPs) of increasing size (lift-and-project method). In this paper we present a similar idea. We show how the stability number can be computed as the solution of a conic linear program (LP) over the cone of copositive matrices. Subsequently, we show how to approximate the copositive cone ever more closely via a hierarchy of linear or semidefinite programs of increasing size (liftings). The latter idea is based on recent work by Parrilo [Structured Semidefinite Programs and Semi-algebraic Geometry Methods in Robustness and Optimization, Ph. D. thesis, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, 2000]. In this way we can compute the stability number $\alpha(G)$ of any graph $G(V,E)$ after at most $\alpha(G)^2$ successive liftings for the LP-based approximations. One can compare this to the $n - \alpha(G)-1$ bound for the LP-based lift-and-project scheme of Lovász and Schrijver. Our approach therefore requires fewer liftings for families of graphs where $\alpha(G) IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 25 (1979), pp. 425--429]. We further show that the second approximation is tight for complements of triangle-free graphs and for odd cycles.
Is pushing constraints deeply into the mining algorithms really what we want?: an alternative approach for association rule mining
Authors: Jochen Hipp, Ulrich Güntzer
Venue: ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter (2002)

The common approach to exploit mining constraints is to push them deeply into the mining algorithms. In our paper we argue that this approach is based on an understanding of KDD that is no longer up-to-date. In fact, today KDD is seen as a human centered, highly interactive and iterative process. Blindly enforcing constraints already during the mining runs neglects the process character of KDD and therefore is no longer state of the art. Constraints can make a single algorithm run faster but in fact we are still far from response times that would allow true interactivity in KDD. In addition we pay the price of repeated mining runs and moreover risk reducing data mining to some kind of hypothesis testing. Taking all the above into consideration we propose to do exactly the contrary of constrained mining: We accept an initial (nearly) unconstrained and costly mining run. But instead of a sequence of subsequent and still expensive constrained mining runs we answer all further mining queries from this initial result set. Whereas this is straight forward for constraints that can be implemented as filters on the result set, things get more complicated when we restrict the underlying mining data. Actually in practice such constraints are very important, e.g. the generation of rules for certain days of the week, for families, singles, male or female customers etc. We show how to postpone such row-restriction constraints on the transactions from rule generation to rule retrieval from the initial result set.

Designing for small display screens
Authors: Lari Kärkkäinen, Jari Laarni
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

Wireless access to the Internet via PDAs (personal digital assistants) provides Web type services in the mobile world. What we are lacking are design guidelines for such PDA services. For Web publishing, however, there are many resources to look for guidelines. The guidelines can be classified according to which aspect of the Web media they are related: software/hardware, content and its organization, or aesthetics and layout. In order to be applicable to PDA services, these guidelines have to be modified. In this paper we analyze the main characteristics of PDAs and their influence to the guidelines.

Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:Welcome to XHTML Example by Example. Written by professional Web developers, this book shows you how to get the most out of the Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) without getting bogged down in rhetoric or code. This book focuses on what you really need to know to start using XHTML today. Using a variety of simple, practical, and real-world examples, it leads you step-by-step down the road of Web page development using XHTML and on your way to mastering this powerful and exciting foundation technology that enables the next generation of content for the World Wide Web.About This BookXHTML Example by Example was written by professional Web developers, specifically people new to XHTML. Whether you're a seasoned Web developer or a budding "newbie," this book will show you the essentials you need to know to get up and running with XHTML in no time flat.Because we assume that you're already comfortable using basic Web development tools (such as text editors, FTP utilities, and Web browsers), this book walks you through many of the most important and useful aspects of XHTML irrespective of the tools that you use today. In other words, we focus primarily on how to write XHTML code, and we also introduce you to a few new XHTML-savvy tools, with an emphasis on creating high-quality Web pages.Examples drive this book, as the title XHTML Example by Example implies, and the printed pages that follow are brimming with them. We provide you with several hundred examples, ranging from XHTML source code examples to "visuals" (stand-alone images, such as the one shown on page xvii), organized into the following 11 chapters: Chapter 1, "Why Bother?" Chapter 2, "XHTML = HTML + XML" Chapter 3, "Wading Into XHTML" Chapter 4, "Making XHTML Sing" Chapter 5, "Making XHTML Dance" Chapter 6, "Using Style Sheets to Format and Present Your Pages" Chapter 7, "Using Scripts to Bring Your XHTML Pages to Life" Chapter 8, "Using Forms and Scripts to Create Pages with Smart Input Capabilities" Chapter 9, "Using Tables to Organize Web Page Data" Chapter 10, "Gearing Up for the Rich Media Web" Chapter 11, "Where Do We Go From Here?"You can read these chapters in any order that you'd like, although we'd suggest that you start with Chapter 1 and progress through each subsequent chapter in a linear fashion if you're not already experienced with HTML. If you're already comfortable with HTML, however, you'll probably want to jump around from chapter to chapter as you chase down specific topics and examples that interest you.Online Reader's AreaXHTML Example by Example represents a new dimension of technology books dedicated to advanced and cutting-edge Internet and Web topics.
