Advances in Robot Kinematics
Authors: M. M. Staniisic
Venue:  (2000)

:This book presents the most recent research advances in the theory, design, control and application of robotic systems, which are intended for a variety of purposes such as manipulation, manufacturing, automation, surgery, locomotion and biomechanics. The issues addressed are fundamentally kinematic in nature, including synthesis, calibration, redundancy, force control, dexterity, inverse and forward kinematics, kinematic singularities, as well as over-constrained systems. Methods used include line geometry, quaternion algebra, screw algebra, and linear algebra. These methods are applied to both parallel and serial multi-degree-of-freedom systems. The results should interest researchers, teachers, and students, in fields of engineering and mathematics related to robot theory, design, control and application.

Algebraic aspects of relational database decomposition
Authors: Stephen J. Hegner
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

An algebraic framework for investigating the problem of decomposing a relational database schema into components is developed. It is argued that the views of a relational schema which are to be the components of a decomposition should form a finite atomic Boolean algebra. The unit of the algebra is the identity view, and the zero is the null view. The join operation in this algebra is to be a generalization of the usual concept of join; the resulting view should contain precisely the representation contained in the two component views as a unit. The meet operation in this algebra is to measure the interdependence of the components, and is to be zero if and only if they are independent. A decomposition of the schema is then to be a decomposition of the identity component, with the ultimate decomposition the one consisting entirely of atoms.The thrust of the results is in two directions. First, the general properties of relational schemata particular to this problem are developed, within the framework of first-order logic. The key formulations are those of abstract meet and join of schemata. Using these formulations, it is shown that a completely general decomposition theory is impossible. The second part of the work islolates a relatively large class of schemata which do admit reasonable decompositions. These schemata include all of the usual decomposition problems, including project-join decompositions and horizontal decompositions of schemata constrained by universal Horn sentences.

An extensible approach to imagery of gridded data
Authors: Geoffrey Dutton
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1977)

A program offering a variety of cartographic techniques for mapping gridded data is described. Dot-distribution maps, several forms of contour maps and screen-toned maps are currently implemented for plotter and vector CRT. The structure and logic of the program is discussed and illustrated. The approach requires only local access to a data grid in a paging environment, allowing large data sets to be manipulated. Maps output may be plotted at any scale, irrespective of the size of the plotting device. Additional graphic techniques and output devices are readily accommodated, and will become even more so when full virtual memory is implemented. Possibilities for image overlay are discussed and illustrated, and plans for data overlay are outlined.
Transparent sharing and interoperation of heterogeneous single-user applications
Authors: Du Li, Rui Li
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

Multi-user applications generally lag behind in features or compatibility with single-user applications. As a result, users are often not motivated to abandon their favorite single-user applications for groupware features that are less frequently used. A well-accepted approach, collaboration transparency, is able to convert off-the-shelf single-user applications into groupware without modifying the source code. However, existing systems have been largely striving to develop generic application-sharing mechanisms and undesirably force users to share the same application in cooperative work. In this paper we analyze this problem and present a novel approach (called intelligent collaboration transparency) to addressing this problem. Our approach allows for heterogeneous application sharing by considering the particular semantics of the applications and the collaboration task in question.

Numerical analysis of dusty-gas flows
Authors: T. Saito
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

This paper presents the development of a numerical code for simulating unsteady dusty-gas flows including shock and rarefaction waves. The numerical results obtained for a shock tube problem are used for validating the accuracy and performance of the code. The code is then extended for simulating two-dimensional problems. Since the interactions between the gas and particle phases are calculated with the operator splitting technique, we can choose numerical schemes independently for the different phases. A semi-analytical method is developed for the dust phase, while the TVD scheme of Harten and Yee is chosen for the gas phase. Throughout this study, computations are carried out on SGI Origin2000, a parallel computer with multiple of RISC based processors. The efficient use of the parallel computer system is an important issue and the code implementation on Origin2000 is also described. Flow profiles of both the gas and solid particles behind the steady shock wave are calculated by integrating the steady conservation equations. The good agreement between the pseudo-stationary solutions and those from the current numerical code validates the numerical approach and the actual coding. The pseudo-stationary shock profiles can also be used as initial conditions of unsteady multidimensional simulations.

A Near-Tight Lower Bound on the Time Complexity of Distributed Minimum-Weight Spanning Tree Construction
Authors: David Peleg, Vitaly Rubinovich
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

This paper presents a lower bound of $\Omega(D+\sqrt n/\log n)$ on the time required for the distributed construction of a minimum-weight spanning tree (MST) in weighted n-vertex networks of diameter $D=\Omega(\log n)$, in the bounded message model. This establishes the asymptotic near-optimality of existing time-efficient distributed algorithms for the problem, whose complexity is $O(D + \sqrt n \log^* n)$.

Evolutionary Computation, 1st edition
Authors: A. E. Eiben, Z. Michalewicz
Venue:  (1998)

:Evolutionary algorithms (EA) have received considerable attention regarding their potential for solving real-world problems involving various types of tasks, such as optimization of objectives, satisfaction of constraints or modeling data. Despite of the diversity of tasks they can handle, evolutionary algorithms form one family of problem solving techniques, based on the principle of "survival of the fittest", mimicing some natural phenomena of genetic and phenotypic inheritance and Darwinian strife for survival. They also constitute an interesting category of modern heuristic search. They form a class of adaptive algorithms with operations based on probabilistic procedures for creating and maintaining individuals in a population of candidate solutions, and through a process of variation and a selection, finding near-optimum solution.Evolutionary techniques have been successfully applied to a variety of difficult problems. These include numerical and combinatorial optimization, machine learning, optimal control, cognitive modeling, classical operation research problems (m travelling salesman problem, knapsack problems, transportation problems, assignment problems , bin packing, scheduling, partitioning, etc.), engineering design, system integration, iterated games, robotics, signal processing, and many others. The editors of this book are proud to present a collection of papers that reflects the diversity of the field of evolutionary computing.
