BURG, IBURG, WBURG, GBURG: so many trees to rewrite, so little time (invited talk)
Authors: Todd Proebsting
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Rule-based programming (2002)

Tree-rewriting systems represent an excellent rule-based solution for many problems. Code-generator generators that rely on bottom-up tree parsing have automated one of the tasks of producing a retargetable compiler. BURG, IBURG, etc., represent general-purpose bottom-up tree-parsing systems that have been used extensively in compiler development. In this talk, I will give an overview of the algorithms behind these tools and compare their relative strengths. In addition, I will summarize the challenges faced trying to get these tools adopted in production compilers.

General distributions in process algebra
Authors: Joost-Pieter Katoen, Pedro R. D'Argenio
Venue: Lectures on formal methods and performance analysis: first EEF/Euro summer school on trends in computer science (2002)

This paper is an informal tutorial on stochastic process algebras, i.e., process calculi where action occurrences may be subject to a delay that is governed by a (mostly continuous) random variable. Whereas most stochastic process algebras consider delays determined by negative exponential distributions, this tutorial is concerned with the integration of general, non-exponential distributions into a process algebraic setting. We discuss the issue of incorporating such distributions in an interleaving semantics, and present some existing solutions to this problem. In particular, we present a process algebra for the specification of stochastic discrete-event systems modeled as generalized semi-Markov chains (GSMCs). Using this language stochastic discrete-event systems can be described in an abstract and modular way. The operational semantics of this process algebra is given in terms of stochastic automata, a novel mixture of timed automata and GSMCs. We show that GSMCs are a proper subset of stochastic automata, discuss various notions of equivalence, present congruence results, treat equational reasoning, and argue how an expansion law in the process algebra can be obtained. As a case study, we specify the root contention phase within the standardized IEEE 1394 serial bus protocol and study the delay until root contention resolution. An overview of related work on general distributions in process algebra and a discussion of trends and future work complete this tutorial.

Venue: ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News (2001)

Development of wireless communications enables the rise of networking applications in mobile personal systems. Thus, Web access from wireless PDAs is now available. More recently, emergence of proximity and wireless communication technologies has allowed to envision new kinds of applications taking part from their physical neighbourhood. In the field of personal applications, physical neighbourhood awareness can contribute to manage direct interactions between people during opportunistic encounters. Such encounters can be exploited to perform spontaneous and direct information exchanges. In this context, the SIDE Surfer system proposes to enrich casual meetings with proximate and spontaneous Web interactions.
Zero Gravity: Riding Venture Capital from High-Tech Start-up to Breakout Ipo
Authors: Steve Harmon
Venue:  (1999)

:Venture capital is the rocket fuel of the new, high-tech economy. The Internet...it's a wild ride. High-flying Internet companies seem to operate by their own set of rules--outside the natural laws of gravity that apply to most businesses. It's an environment in which perception is more important than profits, and "mind share" is greater that market share. This is Zero Gravity, and it's what all Internet start-ups aspire to. But how do garage entrepreneurs and Internet junkies make the transition from the first caffeine-induced idea to blockbuster IPO and instant-millionaire status? The answer is venture capital--which has funded nearly every successful start-up. This book by noted Internet stock analyst Steve Harmon provides an insider's edge and a savvy look inside the topsy-turvy culture of venture capital and Silicon Valley start-ups. It delivers valuable guidelines from top venture capitalists, such as John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins, Ann Winblad of Hummer Winblad, and Esther Dyson of EDVenture Holdings--the leaders who make the rules in cyberspace. "Zero Gravity" also contains advice and lively anecdotes on business growth and Internet company etiquette from luminaries such as Jerry Yang of Yahoo! and Jeffrey Bezos of Amazon.com. It provides the contacts you need, in tandem with the know-how it takes to operate successfully in the frenetic, high-stakes world of Internet business. This is "the little black book" for anyone interested in what's really going on in this news-making industry. Zero Gravity Launchpad includes: Peeking into the portfolios of top venture capitalists Successfully positioning company vision, concepts, and personnel Selling the idea and closing the deal Putting a price tag on intellectual property Using venture funding to "get big fast" Attracting angels and other sources for venture capital
A parallel hierarchical approach for automatic differentiation
Authors: Marco Mancini
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

We evaluate in parallel first-order derivatives given a sequential computer program of the function to be differentiated. Our parallel implementation of an automatic differentiation (AD) algorithm is based on a hierarchical approach. The parallel method is developed by considering as a parallel computational model a shared-memory paradigm. The performance of the derivative codes is evaluated by considering a SGI Origin 2000 and by using the OPENMP standard library. In our computational experiments, we have considered the Flow in a Driven Cavity function belonging to the MINPACK-2 test problem collection. The computational results show the performance gain of the parallel approach over both the sequential one and the stripmining technique.

E-Business in Manufacturing: Putting the Internet to Work in the Industrial Enterprise
Authors: Shari L.S. Worthington, Walt Boyes
Venue:  (2002)

:Now that all the Internet hype is sorting itself out, industry is embarking on a sea of change with monumental proportions. In the next decade, manufacturers will change the way they perform many functions, from interacting with customers to controlling plant-floor processes. What is about to occur is as significant a change as letters of credit were in the Middle Ages, or railroads were in the 19th Century. The first part of the 21st Century will finally see the much-discussed convergence of business, communications, and computing. e-Business in Manufacturing takes a detailed look at that convergence and what it will mean for the manufacturing organization. e-Business in Manufacturing is about the creation of an "extended enterprise." From the sign out front to the loading door out back, companies are changing the way they buy tools, parts, raw materials, and even services. There are changes happening in the way product designers develop new offerings and in the way pricing managers price products. There are changes in the way marketing departments are interacting with customers and how customers are seeing their vendors. For the first time, the independent initiatives of Sales Force Automation, Manufacturing Automation, and Information Systems are being integrated and transformed. Customer Relationship Management is impacting far more than just sales and marketing. Manufacturing Automation and Supply Chain Integration are combining to produce an organization that functions as a single, real-time value chain, from raw material to customer. e-Business in Manufacturing looks at each part of the enterprise-from sales and marketing to manufacturing and logistics-and shows howenabling real-time interaction can result in a significant increase in revenue while at the same time produce a leaner, more efficient organization.
