Multicast in 3G networks:: employment of existing IP multicast protocols in UMTS
Authors: Mariann Hauge, Øyvind Kure
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Wireless mobile multimedia (2002)

In this article we discuss the use of commonly deployed IP multicast protocols in UMTS networks. We analyze three possible UMTS multicast architectures, all employing standard IP multicast protocols. We study the architectures' ability to handle: group management, data-security, authentication and authorization of multicast source/receivers, multicast session identification, terminal mobility and collection of billing data. For one of the architectures we quantify the performance of the design for two multimedia service examples.

Interfacial reactions in In-Sn/Ni couples and phase equilibria of the In-Sn-Ni system
Authors: Ching-Yu Huang, Sinn-Wen Chen
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

The In-Sn-Ni alloys of various compositions were prepared and annealed at 160°C and 240°C. No ternary compounds were found; however, most of the binary compounds had extensive ternary solubility. There was a continuous solid solution between the Ni3Sn phase and Ni3In phase. The Sn-In/Ni couples, made of Sn-In alloys with various compositions, were reacted at 160°C and 240°C and formed only one compound for all the Sn-In alloys/Ni couples reacted up to 8 h. At 240°C, Ni28In72 phase formed in the couples made with pure indium, In-10at.%Sn and In-11at.%Sn alloys, while Ni3Sn4 phase formed in the couples made of alloys with compositions varied from pure Sn to In-12at.%Sn. At 160°C, except in the In/Ni couple, Ni3Sn4 formed by interfacial reaction.

A multi-resolution topological representation for non-manifold meshes
Authors: Leila De Floriani, Paola Magillo, Enrico Puppo, Davide Sobrero
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

We address the problem of representing and processing non-regular, non-manifold two-dimensional simplicial meshes, that we call triangle-segment meshes, at different levels of detail. Such meshes are used to describe spatial objects consisting of parts of mixed dimensions, and with a non-manifold topology. First, we describe a multi-resolution model for non-regular, non-manifold meshes, that we call a Non-manifold Multi-Tessellation (NMT). We consider the selective refinement query, which is at the heart of several analysis operations on multiresolution meshes. Next, we focus on a specific instance of a NMT, generated by a simplification process based on vertex-pair contraction, and we describe a compact data structure for encoding it. We also propose a new data structure for triangle-segment meshes, capable of representing both connectivity and adjacency information with a small memory overhead, that we use to describe the mesh extracted with selective refinement. To this aim, we define algorithms to efficiently perform mesh updates on such a data structure.

Hybrid Curve Point Distribution Algorithms
Authors: Ahmed Khamayseh, Andrew Kuprat
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Effective discretization of parametric curves has many applications in computational fields, ranging from evaluation and representation of complex geometries to geometric processing, grid generation, and numerical simulation. This paper presents a study of methods for point distribution on curves. Two direct approaches, adaptive resolution refinement and hybrid grid point distribution, are presented that generate high fidelity discrete approximations of parametric curves. Additionally, two smoothing techniques, parametric and nonparametric curve grid smoothing, are presented for the optimization of discrete curve data. This paper discusses these techniques in detail, presenting effective algorithms as well as a theoretical development of the methods.

Building the Global Information Economy: A Roadmap from the Global Information Infrastructure Commission
Authors: Carol Ann Charles
Venue:  (1998)

:As trade in goods and services becomes increasingly integrated, information and communications technologies have fundamentally altered the nature of global markets, transforming economic and social interactions, redefining work and causing shifts in labor markets. Factors that have spurred these phenomena include falling costs, rapid technological development and convergence between technologies. Technological change is occurring in a far shorter time frame than policies are able to respond, while an increasingly borderless world challenges national sovereignty. In the meantime, information gaps continue to exist between the developed and developing world, with the potential to disenfranchise entire communities who are at the periphery of the information revolution. This publication describes how globalization and rapid technological change define the parameters of the new global information economy, presenting huge opportunities, but also exposing countries and individuals to tremendous structural change, uncertainty and risk. Drawing upon the lessons learned by the Global Information Infrastructure Commission (GIIC) during its first three years, the GIIC presents a roadmap to governments and private sector players on how they can draw upon the huge opportunities of this revolution. According to the GIIC, four building blocks are needed to compete in the information age: (1) a basic information infrastructure at the national and regional levels to support applications and services; (2) a "soft infrastructure" of flexible regulatory frameworks and institutions responsive to changing technologies and increased demand needs to be developed; (3) an educated population toestablish and sustain a global competitive environment; (4) international cooperation and coordination to achieve a secure, efficient, cost-effective and seamless global communications environment.

Optimal Information Modeling Techniques
Authors: Kees van Slooten
Venue:  (2002)

:Despite the rapid advance of technology in the last few decades, accurate, on-time and on-budget completion of information systems development projects is still a vision rather than a reality. Information modeling techniques are used during information systems analysis and design, and are important kinds of techniques that are part of information systems development methodologies. An optimal information modeling technique may be defined as an information modeling technique that is most appropriate to be applied in a specific situation indicated by certain contingency factors. Optimal Information Modeling Techniques examines these methods and provides the most recent research in the field, to be applied to the management applications of modern organizations.

SNOPT: An SQP Algorithm for Large-Scale Constrained Optimization
Authors: Philip E. Gill, Walter Murray, Michael A. Saunders
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods have proved highly effective for solving constrained optimization problems with smooth nonlinear functions in the objective and constraints. Here we consider problems with general inequality constraints (linear and nonlinear). We assume that first derivatives are available and that the constraint gradients are sparse.We discuss an SQP algorithm that uses a smooth augmented Lagrangian merit function and makes explicit provision for infeasibility in the original problem and the QP subproblems. SNOPT is a particular implementation that makes use of a semidefinite QP solver. It is based on a limited-memory quasi-Newton approximation to the Hessian of the Lagrangian and uses a reduced-Hessian algorithm (SQOPT) for solving the QP subproblems. It is designed for problems with many thousands of constraints and variables but a moderate number of degrees of freedom (say, up to 2000). An important application is to trajectory optimization in the aerospace industry. Numerical results are given for most problems in the CUTE and COPS test collections (about 900 examples).
