A presentation language for controlling the formatting process in multimedia presentations
Authors: Frédéric Bes, Cécile Roisin
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

Multimedia information encapsulated inside documents is more and more specific because its content is specified using domain vocabularies. Their integration in space and time to form a document implies transformation steps to produce "presentation structures".In this context presentation languages and formatters must be enhanced to cover new needs of rendering such as: multiple output of the same information or dynamic changing of the reader context. These new document models and processing architectures induce new editing and formatting services to be proposed to the author.This paper describes new presentation properties that can be added to existing presentation languages and that allow the author to express: priorities, more abstract properties and fall-back positions. These properties are used by our formatter in order to provide more adaptive renderings. The architecture of this formatting service is open in order to be used for different presentation systems with different presentation languages. In this paper, we describe our experiment using priorities and optimization requests for temporal formatting.

Dependency characterizations for acyclic database schemes
Authors: Gösta Grahne, Kari Jouko Räihä
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

Acyclic database schemes have attracted a lot of interest because of the nice properties enjoyed by such schemes. Recently some new acyclicity conditions that are strictly stronger than the normal &alpha;-acyclicity have been introduced by Fagin. Because of increased requirements, the database schemes in the new classes have some further useful properties that are not shared by &alpha;-acyclic schemes. Therefore the new classes have practical relevance.A database designer may work in terms of attribute sets and data dependencies, and not only in terms of database schemes. Thus it is important to have a characterization for the acyclic schemes of various degree in terms of data dependencies. For &alpha;-acyclic schemes such a characterization exists, but for the new classes the question has been open. In this paper we provide characterizations for &beta;-, &gamma;- and Berge-acyclic database schemes. The characterizations can be stated in a simple form: thus they should be useful for the database designer.

Supporting document and data views of source code
Authors: Michael L. Collard, Jonathan I. Maletic, Andrian Marcus
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

The paper describes the use of an XML format to store and represent program source code. A new XML application, srcML (SouRCe Markup Language), is presented. srcML presumes a document view of source code where information about the syntactic structure is layered over the original source code document. The resultant multi-layered document has a base layer of all the original text (and formatting). The second layer is the syntactic information, derived from the grammar of the programming language, and is encoded in XML. This multi-layered view supports both the creation and viewing of the source code in its original form and the use of XML technologies (for tasks such as analysis and transformation of the source). Although directed at source code documents, (particularly C++) srcML is also applicable to other programming languages and to languages with a strict syntax. srcML represents a departure from the compiler centric manner in which source code is commonly stored, instead a document point of view is taken thus better supporting the manipulation and management of the large numbers of source documents typical in modern software systems.

Ensemble of Independent Factor Analyzers with Application to Natural Image Analysis
Authors: Akio Utsugi
Venue: Neural Processing Letters (2001)

In this paper the ensemble of independent factor analyzers (EIFA) is proposed. This new statistical model assumes that each data point is generated by the sum of outputs of independently activated factor analyzers. A maximum likelihood (ML) estimation algorithm for the parameter is derived using a Monte Carlo EM algorithm with a Gibbs sampler. The EIFA model is applied to natural image data. With the progress of the learning, the independent factor analyzers develop into feature detectors that resemble complex cells in mammalian visual systems. Although this result is similar to the previous one obtained by independent subspace analysis, we observe the emergence of complex cells from natural images in a more general framework of models, including overcomplete models allowing additive noise in the observables.

An on-demand secure routing protocol resilient to byzantine failures
Authors: Baruch Awerbuch, David Holmer, Cristina Nita-Rotaru, Herbert Rubens
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Wireless security (2002)

An ad hoc wireless network is an autonomous self-organizing system ofmobile nodes connected by wireless links where nodes not in directrange can communicate via intermediate nodes. A common technique usedin routing protocols for ad hoc wireless networks is to establish therouting paths on-demand, as opposed to continually maintaining acomplete routing table. A significant concern in routing is theability to function in the presence of byzantine failures whichinclude nodes that drop, modify, or mis-route packets in an attempt todisrupt the routing service.We propose an on-demand routing protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that provides resilience to byzantine failures caused by individual or colluding nodes. Our adaptive probing technique detects a malicious link after log n faults have occurred, where n is the length of the path. These links are then avoided by multiplicatively increasing their weights and by using an on-demand route discovery protocol that finds a least weight path to the destination.

Codes and anticodes in the Grassman graph
Authors: Moshe Schwartz, Tuvi Etzion
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

Perfect codes and optimal anticodes in the Grassman graph Gq(n, k) are examined. It is shown that the vertices of the Grassman graph cannot be partitioned into optimal anticodes, with a possible exception when n = 2k. We further examine properties of diameter perfect codes in the graph. These codes are known to be similar to Steiner systems. We discuss the connection between these systems and "real" Steiner systems.

Constraint Qualifications for Semi-Infinite Systems of Convex Inequalities
Authors: Wu Li, Chandal Nahak, Ivan Singer
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

We introduce and study the Abadie constraint qualification, the weak Pshenichnyi--Levin--Valadier property, and related constraint qualifications for semi-infinite systems of convex inequalities and linear inequalities. Our main results are new characterizations of various constraint qualifications in terms of upper semicontinuity of certain multifunctions. Also, we give some applications of constraint qualifications to linear representations of convex inequality systems, to convex Farkas--Minkowski systems, and to formulas for the distance to the solution set. Some of our concepts and results are new even in the particular case of finite inequality systems.

Deterministic parallel backtrack search
Authors: Kieran T. Herley, Andrea Pietracaprina, Geppino Pucci
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

The backtrack search problem involves visiting all the nodes of an arbitrary binary tree given a pointer to its root subject to the constraint that the children of a node are revealed only after their parent is visited. We present a fast, deterministic backtrack search algorithm for a p-processor COMMON CRCW-PRAM, which visits any n-node tree of height h in time O((n/p+h)(logloglogp)22). This upper bound compares favourably with a natural &Ohgr;(n/p+h) lower bound for this problem. Our approach embodies novel, efficient techniques for dynamically assigning tree-nodes to processors to ensure that the work is shared equitably among them.
Correspondence and translation for heterogeneous data
Authors: Serge Abiteboul, Sophie Cluet, Tova Milo
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Data integration often requires a clean abstraction of the different formats in which data are stored, and means for specifying the correspondences/relationships between data in different worlds and for translating data from one world to another. For that, we introduce in this paper a middleware data model that serves as a basis for the integration task, and a declarative rules language for specifying the integration. We show that using the language, correspondences between data elements can be computed in polynomial time in many cases, and may require exponential time only when insensitivity to order or duplicates are considered. Furthermore, we show that in most practical cases the correspondence rules can be automatically turned into translation rules to map data from one representation to another. Thus, a complete integration task (derivation of correspondences, transformation of data from one world to the other, incremental integration of a new bulk of data, etc.) can be specified using a single set of declarative rules.
Optimized Unrolling of Nested Loops
Authors: Vivek Sarkar
Venue: International Journal of Parallel Programming (2001)

Loop unrolling is a well known loop transformation that has been used in optimizing compilers for over three decades. In this paper, we address the problems of automatically selecting unroll factors for perfectly nested loops, and generating compact code for the selected unroll factors. Compared to past work, the contributions of our work include (i) a more detailed cost model that includes register locality, instruction-level parallelism and instruction-cache considerations; (ii) a new code generation algorithm that generates more compact code than the unroll-and-jam transformation; and (iii) a new algorithm for efficiently enumerating feasible unroll vectors. Our experimental results confirm the wide applicability of our approach by showing a 2.2&times; speedup on matrix multiply, and an average 1.08&times; speedup on seven of the SPEC95fp benchmarks (with a 1.2&times; speedup for two benchmarks). Larger performance improvements can be expected on processors that have larger numbers of registers and larger degrees of instruction-level parallelism than the processor used for our measurements (PowerPC 604).
