Conventions and Commitments in Distributed CSCW Groups
Authors: Gloria Mark
Venue: Computer Supported Cooperative Work (2002)

Conventions are necessary to establish in any recurrent cooperative arrangement. In electronic work, they are important so as to regulate the use of shared objects. Based on empirical results from a long-term study of a group cooperating in electronic work, I present examples showing that the group failed to develop normative convention behavior. These difficulties in forming conventions can be attributed to a long list of factors: the lack of clear precedents, different perspectives among group members, a flexible cooperation media, limited communication, the design process, and discontinuous cooperation. Further, I argue that commitments to the conventions were difficult, due to the conventions not reaching an acceptance threshold, uneven payoffs, and weak social influences. The empirical results call for a specific set of awareness information requirements to promote active learning about the group activity in order to support the articulation of conventions. The requirements focus on the role of feedback as a powerful mechanism for shaping and learning about group behavior.

Odd wheels in graphs
Authors: Baoguang Xu, Guoping Jin, Zhenhong Liu
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B (2002)

For k ≥ 1 the odd wheel of 2k + 1 spokes, denoted by W2k+1, is the graph obtained from a cycle of length 2k + 1 by adding a new vertex and joining it to all vertices of the cycle. In this paper it is shown that if a graph G of order n with minimum degree greater than 7n/12 is at least 4-chromatic then G contains an odd wheel with at most 5 spokes.
Automatic differentiation for modern nonlinar regression
Authors: Mark J. Huiskes
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

For modern nonlinear regression routines, the efficient computation of first and higher order derivatives is highly important. Automatic differentiation constitutes an opportunity to achieve both higher run-time efficiency and an increased feasibility of higher-order uncertainty analysis of complex models. In this article we present an overview of the derivative requirements of nonlinear regression routines. We further describe our experience in developing a C++ library for model analysis that uses the ADOL-C package for automatic differentiation. We show how the model analysis library, named MAP, has benefited from using automatic differentiation. Also a number of experiments are presented to show how more flexible and efficient execution trace management could further enhance the ease-of-use of ADOL-C.
Oracle PL/SQL Programming Guide to Oracle8i Features, 1st edition
Authors: Steven Feuerstein
Venue:  (1999)

:Oracle8i, the long-awaited "Internet database" from Oracle Corporation, is finally in production, and it offers a wide array of powerful features, including Web and Java technologies inside the database. The Oracle Internet File System (iFS), a Java Virtual Machine in the database, JDeveloper (a Java integrated development environment), Java stored procedures, the WebDB and interMedia tools, and much more, are now available to Oracle developers. And these developers are starting to realize how much they have to learn. This book is a companion to Steven Feuerstein's bestselling Oracle PL/SQL Programming (the second edition of that book is current for Oracle8). The companion book provides a very helpful transition for PL/SQL developers who are new to Oracle8i. It describes the new PL/SQL features available in Oracle8i (e.g., autonomous transactions, the invoker rights model, native dynamic SQL, and bulk binds and collects). It also covers features that allow PL/SQL developers to interface with Java and to do Web-based development. In addition, it includes a host of performance improvements available in PL/SQL under Oracle8i Many PL/SQL developers are uneasy about what the introduction of Java means to their applications -- and their programming future. But there is room for both technologies; each will be especially appropriate for a specific set of applications. And, what's best, they will work together. For example, you will be able to call PL/SQL from Java, and vice versa. This book will explain how to use PL/SQL to put Java classes into the database and manage them, and how to call Java stored procedures. This concise guide will give PL/SQL developers a jump-start in adopting Oracle's newest database and in making the transition from traditional PL/SQL programming to Java- and Web-based development. The major Oracle8i PL/SQL features include the following: Autonomous transactions: The ability to commit or roll back changes in one program without affecting the "main" transaction in the rest of your session. You'll find autonomous transactions useful in logging mechanisms, retry counters, software usage meters, and in performing commits/rollbacks in your database triggers. Invoker's rights: At compilation time, you can now decide whether a program (or all programs in a package) should run under the authority of the definer (the only choice in Oracle 8.0 and below) or the invoker of that program. Native dynamic SQL: NDS is a native implementation of dynamic SQL that's faster and easier than the DBMS_SQL built-in package; this is one of the most exciting elements of 8.1. The problem with DBMS_SQL is that it is a very complicated package, has a number of restrictions (such as not recognizing and working new Oracle8 datatypes), and is relatively slow. Bulk binds: This feature is a major performance enhancement. It uses a "bulk bind" variation of the FOR loop (the FORALL statement) and a BULK COLLECT INTO variation of the INTO clause of an implicit query to let you retrieve multiple rows in a single context switch.

Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering
Authors: Marco Dorigo, Marco Colombetti
Venue:  (1997)

:foreword by Lashon Booker "[This] book gives a clear and comprehensive exposition of [the authors] extensive experience in integrating reinforcement learning and autonomous robotics. Their continuing contribution is to the development of a distinct engineering discipline (`Behavior engineering') through which such robots can be created. I am excited because their efforts combine some of the best theoretical ideas with a strong eye for the practical - for what will actually work." -- Stewart W. Wilson, The Rowland Institute for Science To program an autonomous robot to act reliably in a dynamic environment is a complex task. The dynamics of the environment are unpredictable, and the robots' sensors provide noisy input. A learning autonomous robot, one that can acquire knowledge through interaction with its environment and then adapt its behavior, greatly simplifies the designer's work. A learning robot need not be given all of the details of its environment, and its sensors and actuators need not be finely tuned. Robot Shaping is about designing and building learning autonomous robots. The term "shaping" comes from experimental psychology, where it describes the incremental training of animals. The authors propose a new engineering discipline, "behavior engineering," to provide the methodologies and tools for creating autonomous robots. Their techniques are based on classifier systems, a reinforcement learning architecture originated by John Holland, to which they have added several new ideas, such as "mutespec," classifier system "energy," and dynamic population size. In the book they present Behavior Analysis and Training (BAT) as an example of a behavior engineering methodology.

Personality preferences in graphical interface design
Authors: Arvid Karsvall
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

The paper presents and discusses the graphical interface design of three interactive television prototypes. These were manipulated in colour and shape in order to display different degrees of extrovert character. The manipulation was based on colour and psychology theory that connects personality traits with visual aesthetics. The first-time impressions of the prototypes were later evaluated in reference to the users' measured personality traits; this since previous work on postures and voice has shown that personality factors influence the users' interface design preferences. The user test concludes that the users do recognise the intended extrovert and introvert features of the prototypes.

International Trade in Computer Software
Authors: Stephen E. Siwek, Harold W. Furchtgott-Roth
Venue:  (1993)

:The U.S. computer software industry dominates the globe. But why has this critical industry succeeded so dramatically in world competition when so many other strategic technologies have fallen to foreign suppliers? In a detailed and well-reasoned economic analysis, Siwek and Furchtgott-Roth present the first truly comprehensive examination of international trade in computer software. The authors identify software as one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States as measured by value-added to gross domestic product, employment, and foreign sales. They document the historical importance of U.S.-produced software in both American and foreign markets and they present country-by-country assessments of software markets around the world. Siwek and Furchtgott-Roth identify the principal areas of advantage held by the U.S. software industry and they go on to assess the future prospects of U.S. software in world markets.
