A low power direct digital frequency synthesizer with 60 dBc spectral purity
Authors: J. M.P. Langlois, D. Al-Khalili
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

We present a low-power sine-output Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DDFS) realized in 0.18 &mgr;m CMOS that achieves 60 dBc spectral purity from DC to the Nyquist frequency. No ROM or multipliers are used, but an external DAC is required if an analog output is desired. Power consumption is 10 mW for a 100 MHz clock, which is significantly less than figures reported previously. System complexity is greatly reduced by using an efficient linear interpolation scheme to approximate a sinusoid function. This has resulted in silicon area utilization of 0.011 mm2. The design would be suitable as an IP core in a low power digital RF transceiver ASIC.

A Chinese wall security model for decentralized workflow systems
Authors: Vijayalakshmi Atluri, Soon Ae Chun, Pietro Mazzoleni
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Computer and Communications Security (2001)

Workflow systems are gaining importance as an infrastructure for automating inter-organizational interactions, such as those in Electronic Commerce. Execution of inter-organiz-ational workflows may raise a number of security issues including those related to conflict-of-interest among competing organizations. Moreover, in such an environment, a centralized Workflow Management System is not desirable because: (i) it can be a performance bottleneck, and (ii) the systems are inherently distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous in nature. In this paper, we propose an approach to realize decentralized workflow execution, in which the workflow is divided into partitions called self-describing workflows, and handled by a light weight workflow management component, called workflow stub, located at each organizational agent. We argue that placing the task execution agents that belong to the same conflict-of-interest class in one self-describing workflow may lead to unfair, and in some cases, undesirable results, akin to being on the wrong side of the Chinese wall. We propose a Chinese wall security model for the decentralized workflow environment to resolve such problems, and a restrictive partitioning solution to enforce the proposed model.

Surviving your success
Authors: Jen Whiting, Pete Evere
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

University-based help desks create a unique dilemma in their success. As customers realize your help desk has answers, and talented staff willing to assist them, you will create everything you most fear:Increased call volumeIncreased expectations of knowledgeGreater inclusion of you and your staff in University-wide implementationsGreater demand for knowledge to be shared with the computing community, before they request it..A successful help desk in a university environment faces problems that a commercial help desk does not. By virtue of the budget-funded help desk model most commonly found in universities, managers are faced with increased pressure to deliver ever-expanding services without expanded resources. Compound this situation with the reality that when your help desk provides better service, more answers and prompter responses, your customers will flock back to you, creating even greater demand for this improved service. In many ways, your help desk's success can be its own worst enemy.As demand for help desk service grows, we need to challenge the definition of "Help Desk Software" that has been status quo for nearly two decades. The idea that call-tracking software and a knowledgebase can meet the demands of your customers is fading; they simply cannot meet the needs of our university communities as computing becomes integral to nearly every aspect of the academic and campus life experience. Dynamically generated, web-based facilities are necessary to give you and your staff the flexibility and power of offering information to your customers before they ask for it; collaboration among academic institutions allows us to share our efforts and benefit from the same.Join us as we review the tools we use to reach our customers and improve our service, working more efficiently, instead of working more. CDs with examples of these tools (and their underlying code) will be available.

Global qualitative description of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems
Authors: Olivier Bernard, Jean-Luc Gouzé
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2002)

In this paper we propose a methodology to derive a qualitative description of the behavior of a system from an incompletely known nonlinear dynamical model. The model is written as an algebraic structure with unknown parameters and/or functions. Under some hypotheses, we obtain a graph describing the possible transitions between regions, defined by the trends of the state variables and their relative positions. A qualitative simulation of the model can be compared with on-line data for fault detection purpose. We give the example of a nonlinear biological model (in dimension three) for the growth of cells in a bioreactor.
A distributed overload control algorithm for delay-bounded call setup
Authors: R. Radhakrishna Pillai
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

As communication networks provide newer services, signaling is becoming more and more compute intensive compared to present day networks. It is known that under overload conditions, the call throughput (goodput) and the network revenue drops to zero even when transport resources are available. A distributed overload control algorithm for delay-bounded call setup is proposed in this paper. The end-to-end delay bound is budgeted among the switching nodes involved in call setup, and these nodes apply a local overload control with a deterministic delay threshold and drop call requests experiencing higher delays. This algorithm does not depend on feedback on network conditions and makes use of only parameters that can be instrumented locally by the switching node. Using an M/M/1 queueing model with first-in-first-out (FIFO) service discipline at a switching node, two optimized control schemes are considered for local overload control and compared their performance through analysis: one with arrival rate limit and the other with buffer size limit. Though both the schemes minimize the unproductive call processing at heavy load, the latter is found to yield higher call throughput and lower average call setup delays compared to the former. Also, the buffer size required for the scheme with buffer size limit is typically small and call throughput close to the server capacity can be achieved during overload. The performance of the distributed overload control algorithm in a network is evaluated through simulation experiments, using the scheme with buffer size limit for the local overload control. It shows that the average end-to-end delay could be much less than the end-to-end delay bound, providing room for overprovisioning of the delay bounds. The tradeoff between the number of nodes, call throughput, and average end-to-end delay needs to be considered while deciding the route budgeting the end-to-end delay bound among different nodes along the route. These performance results are expected to serve as lower bounds to more sophisticated local call rejection mechanisms such as push-out or time-out along with a last-in-first-out (LIFO) service discipline.
