ML with Concurrency, 1st edition
Authors: Flemming Nielson
Venue:  (1997)

:Standard ML is emerging as one of the most widely used functional programming languages. Equally, concurrent programming is becoming an increasingly important area of research and industrial application, and the integration of concurrency primitives is an active topic of development. This book surveys a number of recent approaches to the integration of the functional and concurrent paradigms and concentrates on extensions of Standard ML with new primitives for concurrency. The contributors cover the design of multi-paradigmatic languages, methods for describing their semantics, techniques for the analysis of fragments of the languages, and approaches to distributed implementation. As a result, computer scientists and graduate students will find this an invaluable overview of the current state of research on this topic. In addition, programmers may find this a useful opportunity to see what mixed functional and concurrent programming languages have to offer.

An efficient algorithm for image segmentation, Markov random fields and related problems
Authors: Dorit S. Hochbaum
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2001)

Problems of statistical inference involve the adjustment of sample observations so they fit some a priori rank requirements, or order constraints. In such problems, the objective is to minimize the deviation cost function that depends on the distance between the observed value and the modify value. In Markov random field problems, there is also a pairwise relationship between the objects. The objective in Markov random field problem is to minimize the sum of the deviation cost function and a penalty function that grows with the distance between the values of related pairs---separation function.We discuss Markov random fields problems in the context of a representative application---the image segmentation problem. In this problem, the goal is to modify color shades assigned to pixels of an image so that the penalty function consisting of one term due to the deviation from the initial color shade and a second term that penalizes differences in assigned values to neighboring pixels is minimized. We present here an algorithm that solves the problem in polynomial time when the deviation function is convex and separation function is linear; and in strongly polynomial time when the deviation cost function is linear, quadratic or piecewise linear convex with few pieces (where &quote;few&quote; means a number exponential in a polynomial function of the number of variables and constraints). The complexity of the algorithm for a problem on n pixels or variables, m adjacency relations or constraints, and range of variable values (colors) U, is O(T(n,m) + n log U) where T(n,m) is the complexity of solving the minimum s, t cut problem on a graph with n nodes and m arcs. Furthermore, other algorithms are shown to solve the problem with convex deviation and convex separation in running time O(mn log n log nU) and the problem with nonconvex deviation and convex separation in running time O(T(nU, mU). The nonconvex separation problem is NP-hard even for fixed value of U.For the family of problems with convex deviation functions and linear separation function, the algorithm described here runs in polynomial time which is demonstrated to be fastest possible.

Requirements for XML document database systems
Authors: Airi Salminen, Frank Wm. Tompa
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM Symposium on Document engineering (2001)

The shift from SGML to XML has created new demands for managing structured documents. Many XML documents will be transient representations for the purpose of data exchange between different types of applications, but there will also be a need for effective means to manage persistent XML data as a database. In this paper we explore requirements for an XML database management system. The purpose of the paper is not to suggest a single type of system covering all necessary features. Instead the purpose is to initiate discussion of the requirements arising from document collections, to offer a context in which to evaluate current and future solutions, and to encourage the development of proper models and systems for XML database management. Our discussion addresses issues arising from data modelling, data definition, and data manipulation.
Dolltalk: a computational toy to enhance children's creativity
Authors: Catherine Vaucelle, Tristan Jehan
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

This paper presents a novel approach and interface for encouraging children to tell and act out original stories. Dolltalk is a toy that simulates speech recognition by capturing the gestures and speech of a child. The toy then plays back a child's pretend-play speech in altered voices representing the characters of the child's story. Dolltalk's tangible interface and ability to retell a child's story may enhance a child's creativity in narrative elaboration.

Scaffolding in the small: designing educational supports for concept mapping on handheld computers
Authors: Kathleen Luchini, Chris Quintana, Joe Krajcik, Chris Farah, Nayan Nandihalli, Kyle Reese, Adam Wieczorek, Elliot Soloway
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Handheld computers offer the flexibility and mobility to be "ready at hand" tools that can facilitate learning anytime, anywhere. Applying the principles of Learner Centered Design [2], we have developed Pocket PiCoMap to support students engaged in complex concept mapping activities using handheld computers. Pocket PiCoMap uses scaffolds to address specific student needs; for instance, a color scaffold was provided to address students' difficulty organizing and understanding information displayed on small screens. Pocket PiCoMap was piloted for six weeks with 33 eighth grade students in mid-Michigan classrooms, and our preliminary results suggest that scaffolds are both useful and viable for handheld educational software.

Interface automata
Authors: Luca de Alfaro, Thomas A. Henzinger
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

Conventional type systems specify interfaces in terms of values and domains. We present a light-weight formalism that captures the temporal aspects of software component interfaces. Specifically, we use an automata-based language to capture both input assumptions about the order in which the methods of a component are called, and output guarantees about the order in which the component calls external methods. The formalism supports automatic compatability checks between interface models, and thus constitutes a type system for component interaction. Unlike traditional uses of automata, our formalism is based on an optimistic approach to composition, and on an alternating approach to design refinement. According to the optimistic approach, two components are compatible if there is some environment that can make them work together. According to the alternating approach, one interface refines another if it has weaker input assumptions, and stronger output guarantees. We show that these notions have game-theoretic foundations that lead to efficient algorithms for checking compatibility and refinement.

Fault-tolerance support in distributed systems
Authors: Brett D. Fleisch
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop (1990)

The issue of support for fault-tolerant distributed systems has received much attention in recent years[BABA87, LAMP84, SCHL83]. In this position paper we present some aspects of our research into Distributed Shared Memory systems which concern fault-tolerance. We argue that the viability of DSM systems critically depends on the issue.Our research, which began at the University of California, Los Angeles, was concerned with applications that used shared memory in single site systems and their extension to operate in a distributed environment. Our approach was to modify the underlying operating system to support a new facility called distributed shared memory (DSM).
