Cyber Commerce Reframing
Authors: Uwe G. Seebacher, Lukas B. Juszcayk
Venue:  (2002)

:The ultimate guide to how to redesign and rethink - reframe - your projects, initiatives and even your very business model, Cyber Commerce Reframing (CCR) shows you how to turn your company around in the Cyber Economy towards maximum use of information technology by additionally saving investments already made. In his vivid and hands-on book, the author provides you the insights of what went wrong with web-based business by examining failed companies all over the world. CCR constitutes an alternative to business process reengineering and optimization, which were partly not as successful as during the 80s and 90s in delivering expected results as they precondition too much additional investments, neglect organizations' uniqueness and often miss the starting point. Having designed, planned, supported and implemented CCR solutions at various companies of different size, the description of the work with corporate clients facilitates the task of incorporating CCR's novel ideas in your company.

Term selection for searching printed Arabic
Authors: Kareem Darwish, Douglas W. Oard
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Since many Arabic documents are available only in print, automating retrieval from collections of scanned Arabic document images using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an interesting problem. Arabic combines rich morphology with a writing system that presents unique challenges to OCR systems. These factors must be considered when selecting terms for automatic indexing. In this paper, alternative choices of indexing terms are explored using both an existing electronic text collection and a newly developed collection built from images of actual printed Arabic documents. Character n-grams or lightly stemmed words were found to typically yield near-optimal retrieval effectiveness, and combining both types of terms resulted in robust performance across a broad range of conditions.
Robust Filtering of Discrete-Time Linear Systems with Parameter Dependent Lyapunov Functions
Authors: J. C. Geromel, M. C. de Oliveira, J. Bernussou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

Robust filtering of linear time-invariant discrete-time uncertain systems is investigated through a new parameter dependent Lyapunov matrix procedure. Its main interest relies on the fact that the Lyapunov matrix used in stability checking does not appear in any multiplicative term with the uncertain matrices of the dynamic model. We show how to use such an approach to determine high performance H2 robust filters by solving a linear problem constrained by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The results encompass the previous works in the quadratic Lyapunov setting. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.
Minimum Span of No-Hole (r+1)-Distant Colorings
Authors: Gerard J. Chang, Justie Su-tzu Juan, Daphne Der-Fen Liu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

Given a nonnegative integer r, a no-hole (r+1)-distant coloring, called $\hbox{N}_{r}$-coloring, of a graph G is a function that assigns a nonnegative integer (color) to each vertex such that the separation of the colors of any pair of adjacent vertices is greater than r,, and the set of the colors used must be consecutive. Given r and G, the minimum Nr-span of G, nspr(G), is the minimum difference of the largest and the smallest colors used in an Nr-coloring of G if there exists one; otherwise, define ${\rm nsp}_r(G)=\infty$. The values of nsp1(G) (r=1) for bipartite graphs are given by Roberts [Math. Comput. Modelling, 17 (1993), pp. 139--144]. Given $r \geq 2$, we determine the values of nspr(G) for all bipartite graph with at least r-2 isolated vertices. This leads to complete solutions of nsp2(G) for bipartite graphs.

Counting Claw-Free Cubic Graphs
Authors: Edgar M. Palmer, Ronald C. Read, Robert W. Robinson
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2003)

Let Hn be the number of claw-free cubic graphs on 2n labeled nodes. Combinatorial reductions are used to derive a second order, linear homogeneous differential equation with polynomial coefficients whose power series solution is the exponential generating function for Hn. This leads to a recurrence relation for Hn which shows Hn to be P-recursive and which enables the sequence to be computed efficiently. Thus the enumeration of labeled claw-free cubic graphs can be added to the handful of known counting problems for regular graphs with restrictions which have been proved P-recursive.
Convergence of a Finite Volume Extension of the Nessyahu--Tadmor Scheme on Unstructured Grids for a Two-Dimensional Linear Hyperbolic Equation
Authors: Paul Arminjon, Marie-Claude Viallon
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

The nonoscillatory central difference scheme of Nessyahu and Tadmor is a Godunov-type scheme for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws in which the resolution of Riemann problems at the cell interfaces is bypassed thanks to the use of the staggered Lax--Friedrichs scheme. Piecewise linear MUSCL-type (monotonic upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws) cell interpolants and slope limiters lead to an oscillation-free second-order resolution. Convergence to the entropic solution was proved in the scalar case.After extending the scheme to a two-step finite volume method for two-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws on unstructured grids, we present here a proof of convergence to a weak solution in the case of the linear scalar hyperbolic equation $u_t + \divv(\vec V\,u) = 0$. Since the scheme is Riemann solver--free, it provides a truly multidimensional approach to the numerical approximation of compressible flows, with a firm mathematical basis.Numerical experiments show the feasibility and high accuracy of the method.

Immersed Interface Methods for Neumann and Related Problems in Two and Three Dimensions
Authors: Aaron L. Fogelson, James P. Keener
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We develop and apply a finite-difference method to discretize the Laplacian operator with Neumann boundary conditions on an irregular domain using a regular Cartesian grid. The method is an extension of the immersed interface method developed by LeVeque and Li [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 31 (1994) 1019--1044]. With careful selection of stencils, the method is second order accurate and produces a matrix that is stable (diagonally semidominant). The method is illustrated on several two-dimensional problems and one three-dimensional problem.

Use of Lexicon Density in Evaluating Word Recognizers
Authors: Venu Govindaraju, Petr Slavík, Hanhong Xue
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

We have developed the notion of lexicon density as a metric to measure the expected accuracy of handwritten word recognizers. Thus far, researchers have used the size of the lexicon as a gauge for the difficulty of the handwritten word recognition task. For example, the literature mentions recognizers with accuracy for lexicons of sizes 10, 100, 1,000, and so forth, implying that the difficulty of the task increases (and, hence, recognition accuracy decreases) with increasing lexicon sizes across recognizers. Lexicon density is an alternate measure which is quite dependent on the recognizer. There are many applications such as addressinterpretation where such a recognizer dependent measure can be useful. We have conducted experiments with two different types of recognizers. A segmentation-based and a grapheme-based recognizer have been selected to show how the measure of lexicon density can be developed in general for any recognizer. Experimental results show that the lexicon density measure described is more suitable than lexicon size or a simple string edit distance.

The Real-Time Specification for Java
Authors: James Gosling, Greg Bollella
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:PREFACE: Dreams In 1997 the idea of writing real-time applications in the Java programming language seemed unrealistic. Real-time programmers talk about wanting consistent timing behavior more than absolute speed, but that doesn't mean they donIt require excellent overall performance. The Java runtime is sometimes interpreted, and almost always uses a garbage collector. The early versions were not known for their blistering performance. Nevertheless, Java platforms were already being incorporated into real-time systems. It is fairly easy to build a hybrid system that uses C for modules that have real-time requirements and other components written to the Java platform. It is also possible to implement the Java interpreter in hardware (for performance), and integrate the system without a garbage collector (for consistent performance). aJile Systems produces a Java processor with acceptable real-time characteristics. Until the summer of 1998, efforts toward support for real-time programming on the Java platform were fragmented. Kelvin Nilsen from NewMonics and Lisa Carnahan from the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) led one effort, Greg Bollella from IBM led a group of companies that had a stake in Java technology and real-time, and Sun had an internal real-time project based on the Java platform. In the summer of 1998 the three groups merged. The real-time requirements working group included Kelvin Nilsen from NewMonics, Bill Foote and Kevin Russell from Sun, and the group of companies led by Greg Bollella. It also included a diverse selection of technical people from across the real-time industry and afewrepresentatives with a more marketing or management orientation. The requirements group convened periodically until early 1999. Its final output was a document, Requirements for Real-time Extensions for the Java Platform, detailing the requirements the group had developed, and giving some rationale for those requirements. It can be found on the web at ...
