Construction and Analysis of Optimal Hierarchic Models of Boundary Value Problems on Thin Circular and Spherical Geometries
Authors: Mark Ainsworth, Mark Arnold
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

A sequence of optimal hierarchic models is derived for stationary heat conduction on the following laminated domains: a flat plate, a circular arch, and a spherical shell. An a priori bound is presented, which is evaluated explicitly in the homogeneous case on each domain. Computational examples are given, which illustrate the theoretical results. Furthermore, in the case of a spherical shell, the hierarchic models are compared numerically to models obtained using polynomial approximation in the radial direction, and it is found that the hierarchic models are both more accurate than the polynomial ones and provide more robust convergence with respect to the shell thickness.

Development of CFL-Free, Explicit Schemes for Multidimensional Advection-Reaction Equations
Authors: Hong Wang, Jiangguo Liu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We combine an Eulerian--Lagrangian approach and multiresolution analysis to develop unconditionally stable, explicit, multilevel methods for multidimensional linear hyperbolic equations. The derived schemes generate accurate numerical solutions even if large time steps are used. Furthermore, these schemes have the capability of carrying out adaptive compression without introducing mass balance error. Computational results are presented to show the strong potential of the numerical methods developed.

Project manager's influence tactics and authority: a comparison across project structures
Authors: Suzanne Rivard, Louis Raymond, François Bergeron, Marie-Claude Aubin
Venue: ACM SIGCPR Computer Personnel (1999)

Ever since firms started using computers for processing their business data, researchers and practitioners have been preoccupied by the successful implementation of information systems (IS). Over the years, researchers have studied several aspects of IS implementation, be it measuring success or developing and testing models that explain IS project success or failure. However, up to now, few IS implementation studies have focused on the role played by the project leader. This paper presents the results of a study of 139 IS project managers. The study examined both the tactics adopted by these project managers to influence people, and their level of decision authority. It then attempted to determine if these two characteristics varied along with the project's organizational structure. The findings of the study point to the mediating role played by project managers' level of decision authority in linking organization structures to influence tactics. While influence tactics used do not vary across project structures, they do so across various levels of decision authority. In turn, the level of authority of project leaders varies across structures and steadily increases on the functional-project continuum. Three influence profiles emerged from the study, namely, the humanist, the political and the authoritarian project manager, providing further interpretation to influence tactics and behavior in an IS development context.

Extreme Programming in Practice
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:PREFACE: This book is a case study describing a Web-based software project developed using a development process known as Extreme Programming (XP). The project is real, driven by the needs of a real customer. The artifacts presented in this book are real. The code is real, the user stories are real, and the anecdotes are real. We videotaped all our meetings and development episodes so that we maintained an honest and objective chronicle of the events. We wanted our readers to have as true-to-life an experience as possible. At first we thought we might have to keep the scope of the project artificially small enough to fit into this book. However, it turned out that the size of the first XP release of the project was both useful to our customer and the ideal size for this book. So even the size of the release is real. Before this project, none of us had used XP in its entirety. So this book also chronicles the adoption of XP by a team that is relatively unfamiliar with it. Our goal in writing this book is to help demonstrate how a real XP project works. We have chosen to do this by example, rather than by explanation. The examples are real. They chronicle the thought processes of the team as it struggles with the concepts of XP. You will see us make mistakes and then correct them. You will see us have insights and then find them to be invalid. You will see the ebb and flow of a real development project. This book is written for developers, managers, customers, and anyone else involved in the development of software.

Comparing Reyes and OpenGL on a stream architecture
Authors: John D. Owens, Brucek Khailany, Brian Towles, William J. Dally
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware (2002)

The OpenGL and Reyes rendering pipelines each render complex scenes from similar scene descriptions but differ in their internal pipeline organizations. While the OpenGL organization has dominated hardware architectures over the past twenty years, a Reyes organization differs in several important ways from OpenGL, including a shader coordinate system that supports coherent texture accesses, a single shader in the vertex stage, and tessellation and sampling instead of triangle rasterization.Hardware for the OpenGL pipeline has been well-studied, but the lack of a hardware Reyes implementation has prevented a comparison between the two pipelines. We analyze and compare implementations of an OpenGL and a Reyes pipeline on the Imagine stream processor, a high performance programmable processor for media applications. This comparison both demonstrates the applicability of Reyes for hardware implementation and exposes many issues that architects will face in implementing Reyes in hardware, in particular the need for efficient subdivision algorithms and implementations.

Information systems accreditation: revisited
Authors: John T. Gorgone
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (1999)

This column briefly reviews the history of information systems (IS) accreditation and presents a set of criteria, that are in the development stages, for accrediting IS programs. The purpose of the draft IS criteria is to generate discussion within the professional community that will lead to support and improvements in the criteria and endorsement of the IS accreditation process.Educators expressed interest in IS accreditation soon after CSAB was formed in 1985. An IS accreditation workshop was held in November 1986 at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in Dallas. Representatives from ACM, IEEE-CS, and DPMA (now AITP) discussed the merits of and mechanisms for accreditation. There was sufficient interest to form a working group with one representative from each society to develop draft criteria.The group circulated the draft criteria and presented it to ACM's Accreditation Committee at the 1987 Computer Science Conference. Public presentations were made at the DPMA Educational Foundation's Information Systems Education Conference (ISECON) in 1987 and at the 19th ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium in 1988. Each society published the criteria encourage discussion within the professional community. At the time, however, many IS programs were housed in an accredited AACSB school of business and these schools were not interested in program accreditation. DPMA was not interested in joining the ACM or the IEEE-CS in funding an IS accreditation process, so the idea was put on hold.Today, approximately 50% of IS programs are located outside schools of business and interest in accreditation is being revisited. NSF has provided a three-year grant to examine the feasibility of accreditation of programs in computer information science/systems/technology. The principal investigators (PI) of the study are project director Doris Lidtke of Towson University, and Co-PIs John T. Gorgone of Bentley College, John Henderson of Boston University, and Willis King of the University of Houston. The study includes the development of a set of criteria and procedures which may be used for accreditation of IS related programs. Check the IS accreditation web site [1] for ongoing information. This NSF-sponsored project brings together representation from all identified stakeholders:1. Leading information-computing societies: Association for Information Systems (AIS), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), IEEE-Computer Society (IEEE/CS), and Association for Information Technology Processing (AITP);2. Major recent curriculum efforts, IS'97, ICC'99 and Curriculum '91;3. NSF funded curriculum development efforts;4 The Computing Sciences Accreditation Board; and representatives from industry and academic institutions.

Unrepeatered submarine systems &ndash; market trends, applications and technologies
Authors: J. Merkel
Venue: BT Technology Journal (2002)

The current situation in the submarine fibre optics market is described. The submarine business is suffering from the same malaise as the rest of the telecommunications industry. Some reasons and present trends are outlined in this paper. Unrepeatered submarine systems are not so seriously affected by the downturn as the repeatered sector, and offer fresh opportunities for new suppliers previously excluded from the submarine market. In this case, collaborations with other companies are a precondition since customers expect complete, turnkey projects. Typical applications of unrepeatered systems are presented and the economics of unrepeatered versus repeatered systems are compared, showing the benefits of unrepeatered systems. The success of systems based on technologically enabling factors, such as FEC schemes, fibre types, and the compensation of nonlinear effects, are discussed together with future technological developments. Finally, a successful example of the deployment of an unrepeatered submarine system (ARCOS 1) is presented.

An Efficient Multivalued Hopfield Network for the Traveling Salesman Problem
Authors: E. Mérida-Casermeiro, G. Galán-Marín, J. Muñoz-Pérez
Venue: Neural Processing Letters (2001)

In this Letter we show that discrete multivalued Hopfield-type neural networks enable a relatively easy formulation of the Traveling Salesman Problem compared to the traditional Hopfield model. Thus, with the multivalued representation the network can be easily confined to feasible solutions, avoiding the need to tune any parameter. An investigation into the performance of the network has led us to define updating rules based on simple effective heuristic algorithms, a technique that can not be usually incorporated into standard Hopfield models. Simulation results for Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problems taken from the data library TSPLIB &lsqb;11&rsqb; indicate that this multivalued neural approach is superior to the best neural network currently reported for this problem.
