Sifting out the mud: low level C++ code reuse
Authors: Bjorn De Sutter, Bruno De Bus, Koen De Bosschere
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2002)

More and more computers are being incorporated in devices where the available amount of memory is limited. This contrasts with the increasing need for additional functionality and the need for rapid application development. While object-oriented programming languages, providing mechanisms such as inheritance and templates, allow fast development of complex applications, they have a detrimental effect on program size. This paper introduces new techniques to reuse the code of whole procedures at the binary level and a supporting technique for data reuse. These techniques benefit specifically from program properties originating from the use of templates and inheritance. Together with our previous work on code abstraction at lower levels of granularity, they achieve additional code size reductions of up to 38% on already highly optimized and compacted binaries, without sacrificing execution speed. We have incorporated these techniques in Squeeze++, a prototype link-time binary rewriter for the Alpha architecture, and extensively evaluate them on a suite of 8 real-life C++ applications. The total code size reductions achieved post link-time (i.e. without requiring any change to the compiler) range from 27 to 70%, averaging at around 43%.
AnWeb: a system for automatic support to web application verification
Authors: Eugenio Di Sciascio, Francesco M. Donini, Marina Mongiello, Giacomo Piscitelli
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

In this paper we propose a formal method for web applications verification. The verification process is carried out by checking that either the system always satisfies a model of the specifications or by producing a counter-example.We represent the system as a Kripke structure and model a web site as a graph. Model checking is reformulated as checking that each initial state satisfies the specifications. We adopt Computation Tree Logic (CTL) as language to define the properties to be verified.The proposed formal method has been deployed in AnWeb, a tool for automatic support in the design of web applications. The tool provides an interface to the SMV model checker. The system parses the HTML source code of web pages, including code for dynamic pages, builds the model in SMV input language and provides the proper CTL specifications to the SMV tool.
Exponential Stability of an Abstract Nondissipative Linear System
Authors: Kangsheng Liu, Zhuangyi Liu, Bopeng Rao
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

In this paper we consider an abstract linear system with perturbation of the form $$ \frac{dy}{dt}= Ay + \varepsilon By $$ on a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$, where A is skew-adjoint, B is bounded, and $\varepsilon$ is a positive parameter. Motivated by a work of Freitas and Zuazua on the one-dimensional wave equation with indefinite viscous damping [P. Freitas and E. Zuazua, J. Differential Equations, 132 (1996), pp. 338--352], we obtain a sufficient condition for exponential stability of the above system when B is not a dissipative operator. We also obtain a Hautus-type criterion for exact controllability of system (A, G), where G is a bounded linear operator from another Hilbert space to ${\cal H}$. Our result about the stability is then applied to establish the exponential stability of several elastic systems with indefinite viscous damping, as well as the exponential stabilization of the elastic systems with noncolocated observation and control.
Beyond Competitive Analysis
Authors: Elias Koutsoupias, Christos H. Papadimitriou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

The competitive analysis of online algorithms has been criticized as being too crude and unrealistic. We propose refinements of competitive analysis in two directions: The first restricts the power of the adversary by allowing only certain input distributions, while the other allows for comparisons between information regimes for online decision-making. We illustrate the first with an application to the paging problem; as a byproduct we characterize completely the work functions of this important special case of the k-server problem. We use the second refinement to explore the power of lookahead in server and task systems.

Primal-Dual Active Set Strategy for a General Class of Constrained Optimal Control Problems
Authors: K. Kunisch, A. Rösch
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

An algorithm for efficient solution of optimal control problems with pointwise constraints is introduced. It is based on an active set strategy using primal as well as dual variables. Under certain assumptions a decrease of an appropriately chosen merit function and convergence of the algorithm are proved. Numerical examples for a parabolic optimal control problem demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method for control-constrained problems.
Stability of collocation by smooth splines for Volterra integral equations
Authors: Peeter Oja
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

General results about the numerical stability of the spline collocation method for Volterra integral equations are developed in the case of smooth polynomial splines. Besides stability conditions for linear and quadratic splines, quantitative results are presented concerning the instability of cubic and higher order splines. Numerical tests supporting the theoretical results are also presented concerning the instability of cubic and higher order splines. Numerical tests supporting the theoretical results are also presented.

Twenty-Five Seminal Papers in Control
Authors: Tamer Basar
Venue:  (2000)

:"Control theory, developed in the twentieth century, is the subject of this compilation of 25 annotated reprints of seminal papers representing the evolution of the control field. Carefully assembled by a distinguished editorial board to ensure that each paper contributes to the whole, rather than exist as a separate entity, this is the first book to document the research and accomplishments that have driven the practice of control.Control Theory: Twenty-Five Seminal Papers (19321981) begins with an introduction describing the major developments in control, linking each to a selected paper. Each paper includes a commentary that lends a contemporary spin and places the contributions of each paper and its impact on the field into proper perspective. The material covers the period between 1932 to 1981 and addresses a broad spectrum of topics. The earliest paper is the famous Regeneration Theory by Harry Nyquist, which laid the foundation for a frequency-domain approach to stability analysis of linear control systems and introduced the Nyquist criterion. The most recent paper in the volume, Feedback and Optimal Sensitivity by George Zames, marked the beginning of the robustness era.This comprehensive volume is a valuable resource for control researchers and engineers worldwide. Also, it will be of great interest to engineers and scientists in related fields, such as communications, signal processing, circuits, power, and applied mathematics.About the EditorTamer Basar is a prolific scientist and author who has published more than 150 journal articles, books and book chapters, and numerous conference publications in the general areas of optimal, robust, and adaptive control,large-scale and decentralized systems and control, dynamic games, stochastic processes and control, estimation and information theory, and mathematical economics. His current research interests are robust nonlinear and adaptive control and identification, control of communication networks, and risk-sensitive estimation and control.Dr. Basar has held positions in many scientific organizations and has received several distinguished awards, including the 1993 Medal of Science of Turkey. He is currently the Fredric G. and Elizabeth H. Nearing Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and a research professor at the Coordinated Science Laboratory. Dr. Basar is an IEEE Fellow and a member of the National Academy of Engineering."Sponsored by:IEEE Control Systems Society
Dual-Issue Scheduling for Binary Trees with Spills and Pipelined Loads
Authors: Waleed M. Meleis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

We describe an algorithm that finds a minimum cost schedule, including spill code, for a register-constrained machine that can issue up to one arithmetic operation and one memory access operation at a time, under the restrictions that the dependence graph is a full binary tree, all arithmetic and store operations have unit latency, and all load operations have a latency of 1 or all load operations have a latency of 2. This problem is a generalization of two problems whose efficient solutions are well understood: optimal dual-issue scheduling without spills for binary expression trees, solved by Bernstein, Jaffe, and Rodeh [SIAM J. Comput., 18 (1989), pp. 1098--1127], and optimal single-issue scheduling with spill code and delayed loads, solved by Kurlander, Proebsting, and Fischer [ ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 17 (1995), pp. 740--776], both assuming a fixed number of registers. We show that the algorithm's complexity is O(nk) where n is the number of operations to be scheduled and k is the number of spills in the schedule. The cost of a "contiguous" schedule (i.e., its length) is shown to be $\rho + 2k + g + |A|$, where $\rho$ is the number of registers used, |A| is the number of arithmetic operations, k is the number of spills, and g is the number of empty slots in the associated single processor schedule. Therefore all contiguous schedules formed from optimal single processor schedules have minimum cost.
Mis-usability: on the uses and misuses of usability testing
Authors: R. Stanley Dicks
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

Usability has become so popular that its value is being threatened by misuse of the term and by misunderstandings about important distinctions between usability studies and empirical usability testing, between usability and verification tests, between ease of use and usefulness, and concerning how we interpret statistics. This paper examines these problems and encourages academicians and practitioners to work toward mitigating them.
The Roma personal metadata service
Authors: Edward Swierk, Emre Kiciman, Nathan C. Williams, Takashi Fukushima, Hideki Yoshida, Vince Laviano, Mary Baker
Venue: Mobile Networks and Applications (2002)

People now have available to them a diversity of digital storage facilities, including laptops, cell phone address books, handheld devices, desktop computers and web-based storage services. Unfortunately, as the number of personal data repositories increases, so does the management problem of ensuring that the most up-to-date version of any document in a user's personal file space is available to him on the storage facility he is currently using. We introduce the Roma personal metadata service to make it easier to locate current versions of personal files and ensure their availability across different repositories. This centralized service stores information about each of a user's files, such as name, location, timestamp and keywords, on behalf of mobility-aware applications. Separating out these metadata from the data respositories makes it practical to keep the metadata store on a highly available, portable device. In this paper we describe the design requirements, architecture and current prototype implementation of Roma.
Understanding Soap: Simple Object Access Protocol
Authors: Kenn Scribner, Kennard Scribner, Mark C. Stiver
Venue:  (2000)

:Understanding SOAP begins with a discussion of distributed object computing, reviewing the current technologies. It then discusses the realities that make distributed object computing so difficult. Given these realities, the book provides a case study of a current technology to show why it is so difficult to distribute objects and why a protocol, such as SOAP, is such an important topic. An in-depth example gives you a working scenario of what is involved with distributed object computing and SOAP. Finally, the book discusses the future of SOAP, to include language binding and system integration. This book provides you with an accelerated approach to understanding how XML applies to distributed systems, specifically using the SOAP protocol.

A visual tool for building logical data models of websites
Authors: Zehua Liu, Wee Keong Ng, Feifei Li, Ee-Peng Lim
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th international workshop on Web information and data management (2002)

Information sources over the WWW contain a large amount of data organized according to different interests and values. Thus, it is important that facilities are there to enable users to extract information of interest in a simple and effective manner. To do this, We propose the Wiccap Data Model, an XML data model that maps Web information sources into commonly perceived logical models, so that information can be extracted automatically according to users' interests. To accelerate the creation of data models, we have implemented a visual tool, called the Mapping Wizard, to facilitate and automate the process of producing Wiccap Data Models. Using the tool, the time required to construct a logical data model for a given website is significantly reduced.
