Coloring locally bipartite graphs on surfaces
Authors: Bojan Mohar, Paul D. Seymour
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B (2002)

It is proved that there is a function f: N → N such that the following holds. Let G be a graph embedded in a surface of Euler genus g with all faces of even size and with edge-width ≥ f(g). Then (i) If every contractible 4-cycle of G is facial and there is a face of size > 4, then G is 3-colorable. (ii) If G is a quadrangulation, then G is not 3-colorable if and only if there exist disjoint surface separating cycles C1, ..., Cg such that, after cutting along C1, ..., Cg, we obtain a sphere with g holes and g Möbius strips, an odd number of which is nonbipartite.If embeddings of graphs are represented combinatorially by rotation systems and signatures [5], then the condition in (ii) is satisfied if and only if the geometric dual of G has an odd number of edges with negative signature.
Multiple factorizations of words and defect effect
Authors: Juhani Kharhumäki, Ján Maňuch
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We prove that if X is a finite prefix set and w is a non-periodic bi-infinite word, possessing 3 disjoint X-factorizations, then the combinatorial rank of X is at most card(X)2. This is one of the rare cases when a cumulative defect effect is known to hold. Finally, connections to the critical factorization theorem are discussed.

Comparison of three machine-learning methods for Thai part-of-speech tagging
Authors: Masaki Murata, Qing Ma, Hitoshi Isahara
Venue: ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing (TALIP) (2002)

The elastic-input neuro-tagger and hybrid tagger, combined with a neural network and Brill's error-driven learning, have already been proposed to construct a practical tagger using as little training data as possible. When a small Thai corpus is used for training, these taggers have tagging accuracies of, respectively, 94.4% and 95.5% (accounting only for the ambiguous words that relate to the parts of speech). In this study, in order to construct more accurate taggers, we developed new tagging methods using three different machine-learning approaches: the decision list, maximum entropy, and the support vector machine methods. We then performed tagging experiments using them. Our results show that the support vector machine method has the best precision (96.1%), and that it is capable of improving the accuracy of tagging in the Thai language. The improvement in accuracy was also confirmed by using a statistical test (a sign test). Finally, we examined theoretically all these methods in an effort to determine how the improvements were achieved. We found that the improvements were due to our use of word information, which is helpful for tagging, and a support vector machine that performed well.
A survey of rollback-recovery protocols in message-passing systems
Authors: E. N. (Mootaz) Elnozahy, Lorenzo Alvisi, Yi-Min Wang, David B. Johnson
Venue: ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) (2002)

This survey covers rollback-recovery techniques that do not require special language constructs. In the first part of the survey we classify rollback-recovery protocols into checkpoint-based and log-based. Checkpoint-based protocols rely solely on checkpointing for system state restoration. Checkpointing can be coordinated, uncoordinated, or communication-induced. Log-based protocols combine checkpointing with logging of nondeterministic events, encoded in tuples called determinants. Depending on how determinants are logged, log-based protocols can be pessimistic, optimistic, or causal. Throughout the survey, we highlight the research issues that are at the core of rollback-recovery and present the solutions that currently address them. We also compare the performance of different rollback-recovery protocols with respect to a series of desirable properties and discuss the issues that arise in the practical implementations of these protocols.

Building J2ee Applications with the Rational Unified Process
Authors: Peter Eeles, Kelli Houston
Venue:  (2002)

From the Book:About this BookThis book is about developing Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications with the Rational Unified Process&reg; (RUP&reg;) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). There are a number of books describing the J2EE platform and its associated technologies. There are also books about software development processes and about RUP, in particular. However, we could not find a book that described and exemplified how to use a subset of RUP that contains only the most relevant parts of an otherwise large and comprehensive process, to build J2EE applications. This book bridges that gap.A world that combines J2EE, RUP, and UML is complex. This world requires a good map if you are to successfully navigate your way through it. This book provides such a map both metaphorically and literally. It is metaphorical because the very objective of the book is to provide a description of a "safe path" through the J2EE application development activities. It is also literal because we use a "J2EE Developer Roadmap," which is a process map, to guide us. We describe the content of the book in more detail in Chapter 1, "Introduction."Who This Book Is ForWhile writing the book we kept three audiences in mind. The first audience is software architects, designers and developers familiar with the J2EE platform and its technologies, wanting to understand how to apply them in the context of a software development process. The second audience is development team members familiar with RUP, looking for help in applying the process to J2EE development. The third audience is software professionals who are neither familiar with J2EE nor withRUP, and are looking for an example of how to use RUP in the development of a J2EE application.Conventions Used in This BookThe book is roughly divided into two parts. The first part, chapters 2 through 5, summarize the J2EE technology, introduce RUP and the J2EE Developer Roadmap, and briefly describes our example application. The rest of the book is what we refer to as the "process chapters," and contains a guided tour through a J2EE application development project. In the process chapters we have used a few styles and conventions. In particular, we have emphasized all references to RUP process elements such as activities, steps, artifacts, and roles.We have structured the process chapters to make them easy to read "at a glance," and to make it easy to refer to specific topics of interest. Each process chapter is organized primarily by activities. We provide diagrams that indicate the overall flow between the activities and the key artifacts that are consumed and produced by the activities. For each activity, we provide an overview table that summarizes the purpose of the activity, its input and output artifacts, and a summary of the steps performed within the activity. Following the table, we then describe the detail of each of these steps using the example application.

Ordered and quantum treemaps: Making effective use of 2D space to display hierarchies
Authors: Benjamin B. Bederson, Ben Shneiderman, Martin Wattenberg
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

Treemaps, a space-filling method for visualizing large hierarchical data sets, are receiving increasing attention. Several algorithms have been previously proposed to create more useful displays by controlling the aspect ratios of the rectangles that make up a treemap. While these algorithms do improve visibility of small items in a single layout, they introduce instability over time in the display of dynamically changing data, fail to preserve order of the underlying data, and create layouts that are difficult to visually search. In addition, continuous treemap algorithms are not suitable for displaying fixed-sized objects within them, such as images.This paper introduces a new "strip" treemap algorithm which addresses these shortcomings, and analyzes other "pivot" algorithms we recently developed showing the trade-offs between them. These ordered treemap algorithms ensure that items near each other in the given order will be near each other in the treemap layout. Using experimental evidence from Monte Carlo trials and from actual stock market data, we show that, compared to other layout algorithms, ordered treemaps are more stable, while maintaining relatively favorable aspect ratios of the constituent rectangles. A user study with 20 participants clarifies the human performance benefits of the new algorithms. Finally, we present quantum treemap algorithms, which modify the layout of the continuous treemap algorithms to generate rectangles that are integral multiples of an input object size. The quantum treemap algorithm has been applied to PhotoMesa, an application that supports browsing of large numbers of images.

Data Processing and Reconciliation for Chemical Process Operations, 1st edition
Authors: Jose A. Romagnoli, Mabel Cristina Sanchez
Venue:  (1999)

:Routinely collected sensor data provide the first level of information for use in ensuring the optimal and safe operation of manufacturing plants. However, these numerical observations are seldom consistent, as they may be corrupted by measurement errors as well as by random and gross errors regardless of how well the instrumentation system is designed and operated. Erroneous data may compromise plant safety and lead to off-specification production. Although the reconciliation of process data has been studied for more than 20 years, Data Processing and Reconciliation for Chemical Process Operations provides the first unified treatment of this important subject. An introduction to the modern literature is presented together with in-depth coverage of the relevant theory of data reconciliation. The theory is illuminated by numerous examples from representative chemical processes, including detailed industrial case studies.

Generating remote control interfaces for complex appliances
Authors: Jeffrey Nichols, Brad A. Myers, Michael Higgins, Joseph Hughes, Thomas K. Harris, Roni Rosenfeld, Mathilde Pignol
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2002)

The personal universal controller (PUC) is an approach for improving the interfaces to complex appliances by introducing an intermediary graphical or speech interface. A PUC engages in two-way communication with everyday appliances, first downloading a specification of the appliance's functions, and then automatically creating an interface for controlling that appliance. The specification of each appliance includes a high-level description of every function, a hierarchical grouping of those functions, and dependency information, which relates the availability of each function to the appliance's state. Dependency information makes it easier for designers to create specifications and helps the automatic interface generators produce a higher quality result. We describe the architecture that supports the PUC, and the interface generators that use our specification language to build high-quality graphical and speech interfaces.
