Train station passenger flow study
Authors: Janice P. Li
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

With the increasing demand for public transportation due to congested highways, trains have become one of the most viable alternatives, especially for daily commuting. While transit agencies are excited with the increasing ridership, they are also challenged with a higher volume of passenger flow and longer queuing lines at the existing stations. To improve the current situation and plan for the future, transit agencies are using simulation tools to help evaluate station design, queue management, fare equipment design and fare policy impacts.

Knowledge base maintenance using knowledge gap analysis
Authors: Scott Spangler, Jeffrey Kreulen
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

As the web and e-business have proliferated, the practice of using customer facing knowledge bases to augment customer service and support operations has increased. This can be a very efficient, scalable and cost effective way to share knowledge. The effectiveness and cost savings are proportional to the utility of the information within the knowledge base and inversely proportional to the amount of labor required in maintaining the knowledge. To address this issue, we have developed an algorithm and methodology to increase the utility of the information within a knowledge base while greatly reducing the labor required.In this paper, we describe an implementation of an algorithm and methodology for comparing a knowledge base to a set of problem tickets to determine which categories and subcategories are not well addressed within the knowledge base. We utilize text clustering on problem ticket text to determine a set of problem categories. We then compare each knowledge base solution document to each problem category centroid using a cosine distance metric. The distance between the "closest" solution document and the corresponding centroid becomes the basis of that problem category's "knowledge gap". Our claim is that this gap metric serves as a useful method for quickly and automatically determining which problem categories have no relevant solutions in a knowledge base. We have implemented our approach, and we present the results of performing a knowledge gap analysis on a set of support center problem tickets.
The Pattern Recognition Basis of Artificial Intelligence, 1st edition
Authors: Donald Tveter
Venue:  (1997)

:This book pays extra attention to the new ideas in AI: neural networking, case based reasoning, and memory based reasoning, while including the important aspects of traditional symbol processing AI. As much as possible, these methods are compared with each other so that the reader will see the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Second, the new and traditional methods are presented as different ways of doing pattern recognition, giving unity to the subject matter. Third, rather than treating AI as just a collection of advanced algorithms, it also looks at the problems involved in producing the kind of general purpose intelligence found in human beings who have to deal with the real world.

Closed Partition Lattice and Machine Decomposition
Authors: David Lee, Mihalis Yannakakis
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

Finite state machines are widely used to model systems in diverse areas. Often, the modeling machines can be decomposed into smaller component machines and this decomposition can facilitate the system design, implementation, and analysis. Hartmanis and Stearns developed an elegant algebraic theory for machine decomposition that is based on the closed partition lattice of a machine. In this paper, we study the computation of the closed partition lattice of finite state machines for the application to their decomposition. We present efficient algorithms for constructing the closed partition lattice and for machine decomposition.

Transforming the Law: Essays on Technology, Justice and the Legal Marketplace
Authors: Richard Susskind
Venue:  (2000)

:"In 1996, in his award-winning book, The Future of Law, Richard Susskind claimed that the law would be transformed by IT. The book generated enormous interest and influenced public policy-makers and strategic planners in law firms around the world. Many of its predictions have already come to pass." "In this new collection, Susskind presents his latest ideas and also lays out the main themes of his work over the past 20 years." "Part I focuses on the way in which the Internet is transforming the delivery of legal services. Weaving together his thinking on electronic commerce and on knowledge management, Susskind introduces two innovative models - The Grid and the Client Service Chain - to help lawyers and clients plan for the future." "In Part II, Susskind revisits The Future of Law, summarizing its central arguments, updating the main themes, clarifying the impact of his ideas on lawyers, and replying to key objections by critics." "In response to the current upsurge of interest in commercially exploiting expert systems in law, Part III re-presents Susskind's original research and development work in this area." "In the final part of the book, Susskind looks beyond legal practice to the justice system more generally, concentrating on the impact of IT on judges, the courts, and society."--BOOK JACKET.

Vote.com: How Big-Money Lobbyists and the Media are Losing their Influence and the Internet is Giving Power to the People, 1st edition
Authors: Dick Morris
Venue:  (1999)

:For thirty years the media has dominated politics. Now the Internet is taking the media's place as the driving force in American political life. Already almost 80 million Americans use the Internet and almost fifty million of them log on everyday. In his latest book VOTE.COM, Dick Morris, the master of polling and spin, explains how the Internet is making the craft of politics as we now knot it obsolete. Morris is predicting: --Money won't matter in politics because the free Internet will replace paid television advertising --America will be governed by direct democracy as people express their opinions directly on the Net, forcing Congress to heed their will --Polling will be replaced by the Internet. Instead of asking a statistically valid sample of us, pollsters will just ask all of us on the Internet By examining the lessons of Bill Clinton's "unimpeachment," Morris explains how the president avoided removal from office by using the new rules of the Fifth Estate to defeat the forces of the Fourth Estate which wanted him ousted. Morris shows how Clinton's understanding of the new forces shaping our politics helped him survive and overcome scandal. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

The Spice Book
Authors: Andre Vladimirescu
Venue:  (1994)

:This new book, written by Andre Vladimirescu, who was instrumental in the development of SPICE at the University of California Berkeley, introduces computer simulation of electrical and electronics circuits based on the SPICE standard. Relying on the functionality first supported in SPICE2 that is now supported in all SPICE programs, this text is addressed to all users of electrical simulation. The approach to learning circuit simulation is to interpret simulation results in relation to electrical engineering fundamentals; the book asks the student to solve most circuit examples by hand before verifying the results with SPICE. Addressed to both the SPICE novice and the experienced user, the first six chapters provide the relevant information on SPICE functionality for the analysis of linear as well as nonlinear circuits. Each of these chapters starts out with a linear example accessible to any new user of SPICE and proceeds with nonlinear transistor circuits. The latter part of the book goes into more detail on such issues as functional and hierarchical models, distortion analysis, basic algorithms in SPICE and related options parameters, and, how to direct SPICE to find a solution when it does not converge to a solution. The approach emphasizes that SPICE is not a substitute for knowledge of circuit operation but a complement. The SPICE Book is different from previously published books in the approach of solving circuit problems with a computer. The solution to most circuit examples is sketched out by hand first and followed by a SPICE verification. For more complex circuits it is not feasible to find the solution by hand but the approach stresses the need for the SPICE user to understand the results. Readers gain a better comprehension of SPICE thanks to the importance placed on the relation between EE fundamentals and computer simulation. The tutorial approach advances from the hand solution of a circuit to SPICE verification and simulation results interpret

The large scale parallelization of a conformational 3D Protein structure prediction application
Authors: Philip LoCascio, Kaizhi Yue, Peter Cummings, Ken Dill
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

We present here the design strategy and performance analysis of a large scale scientific application, for the prediction of 3D Protein structures. The unique challenges which will be investigated are the primary objectives of a reduction in wall clock run time through the parallelization process, and the production of an application capable of running and scaling to a massively parallel configuration (currently 1024 nodes of the Intel Paragon) reliably for many non-contiguous days of supercomputer time. Enough flexibility to be reconfigured for a number of different parallel architectures including the CRAY T3E and IBM SP2 was included through the use of MPI as the parallel software layer.The application, GEOCORE, predicts small ensembles of native-like peptide conformations from amino acid sequences. GEOCORE uses a very simple energy function and an extensive conformational search process. The serial program has been tested on around 20 small peptides and is shown to be capable of discriminating native from non-native structures.
mmdump: a tool for monitoring internet multimedia traffic
Authors: Jacobus van der Merwe, Ramón Cáceres, Yang-hua Chu, Cormac Sreenan
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2000)

Internet multimedia traffic is increasing as applications like streaming media and packet telephony grow in popularity. It is important to monitor the volume and characteristics of this traffic, particularly because its behavior in the face of network congestion differs from that of the currently dominant TCP traffic. To monitor traffic on a high-speed link for extended periods, it is not practical to blindly capture all packets that traverse the link. We present mmdump, a tool that parses messages from RTSP, H.323 and similar multimedia session control protocols to set up and tear down packet filters as needed to gather traces of multimedia sessions. Unlike tcpdump, dynamic packet filters are necessary because these protocols dynamically negotiate TCP and UDP port numbers to carry the media content. Our tool captures only packets of interest for optional storage and further analysis, thus greatly reducing resource requirements. This paper presents the design and implementation of mmdump and demonstrates its utility in monitoring live RTSP and H.323 traffic on a commercial IP network. The preliminary results obtained from these measurements are presented.

Causal memory meets the consistency and performance needs of distributed applications!
Authors: Mustaque Ahamad, Ranjit John, Prince Kohli
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

In order to provide acceptable performance in large scale distributed systems, shared data must be cached at or close to nodes where it is accessed. Maintaining the consistency of such cached data is an important problem in distributed systems. We claim that causal memory, which defines consistency of shared data based on causal orderings between data accesses, provides strong enough consistency guarantees to be usable yet it allows efficient, and scalable implementations. In this paper, we describe some results of our recent work that support this claim.
