How to Choose the Best Iterative Strategy for Symmetric Toeplitz Systems
Authors: Stefano Serra
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

In the last decade many efficient iterative solvers for n X n symmetric (also Hermitian or generic) Toeplitz systems have been devised [R. H. Chan and G. Strang, SIAM J. Sci. Stat. Comput., 10 (1989), pp. 104--119; T. F. Chan, SIAM J. Sci. Stat. Comput., 9 (1988), pp. 766--771; D. Bini and F. Di Benedetto, Proceedings, 2nd SPAA Conference, 1990, pp. 220--223; D. Bini and P. Favati, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 14 (1993), pp. 500--507; T. Huckle, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 13 (1992), pp. 767--777; F. Di Benedetto, G. Fiorentino, and S. Serra, Comput. Math. Appl., 26 (1993), pp. 35--45; S. Serra, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 17 (1996), pp. 1007--1019; G. Fiorentino and S. Serra, Calcolo, 28 (1991), pp. 283--305; S. Serra, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 20 (1998), pp. 31--44]. In all these methods it is assumed that the considered systems have the form An(f)x= b where the symbol f, the generating function, is an L1 function and the entries of An(f)along the kth diagonal coincide with the kth Fourier coefficient of f. The proof of convergence and sometimes even the definition of these solvers are derived by using some symbolic or analytic properties of f, while this function is often unknown in real applications. In this paper, by means of the knowledge of the coefficients of An(f) only, we propose and discuss an algorithm to economically determine the minimal features of f allowing us to choose and define the best iterative strategy. As a consequence of the analysis of the proposed procedure, we find some results on the structure of "quasi algebra" of the set $\{A_n(f)\}_{f\in L^1}$. Finally, we exhibit several numerical experiments which confirm the effectiveness of the proposed idea.

The Solution to the Conjecture on Properness of Weakly Relaxed Delayed Controls
Authors: Javier F. Rosenblueth
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In 1986 Warga proposed a "weak" relaxation procedure applicable to fully nonlinear problems with delays in the control variables and showed that the resulting relaxed problem has a solution. However, in the event of commensurate delays, several examples were found for which weakly relaxed controls cannot be approximated with original controls, so that this extension fails to be "proper." Although the case of commensurate delays was solved by the introduction of a "strong" model, the question of how to properly relax noncommensurately delayed controls has remained open, and a natural candidate has been precisely that of weakly relaxed controls. In this paper, a general counterexample is constructed which rules out the weak relaxation as a proper relaxation when there are two or more delays. It is hoped that this result will provide some insight into the problem of finding a general representation of properly relaxed controls.
Design of documentation for handheld ergonomics: presenting clinical evidence at the point of care
Authors: Michelle Graham, Mark Chignell, Harumi Takeshita
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

Medical doctors require high quality clinical evidence at the point of care in order to support their decision-making. Presentation of clinical evidence on handheld devices, and in a timely fashion, requires an integrated approach to documentation and ergonomic design. This paper reports on results from The Bringing Evidence to the Point of Care Project at the University of Toronto, concerning the display of quantitative data as part of clinical evidence. After introducing the problem and some of the relevant background literature, we indicate some prototype designs for presenting quantitative information on a handheld device, as graphs or tables. We then report on an initial usability study that compares the different prototypes. The results indicate that the doctors preferred statistical information to be presented as tables on the handheld device used in this study (in preference to lists or graphs).

Bayesian Graphical Models for Software Testing
Authors: D. A. Wooff, M. Goldstein, F. P. A. Coolen
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2002)

This paper describes a new approach to the problem of software testing. The approach is based on Bayesian graphical models and presents formal mechanisms for the logical structuring of the software testing problem, the probabilistic and statistical treatment of the uncertainties to be addressed, the test design and analysis process, and the incorporation and implication of test results. Once constructed, the models produced are dynamic representations of the software testing problem. They may be used to drive test design, answer what-if questions, and provide decision support to managers and testers. The models capture the knowledge of the software tester for further use. Experiences of the approach in case studies are briefly discussed.
An agent-based approach to engineering design
Authors: Kuo-Ming Chao, Peter Norman, Rachid Anane, Anne James
Venue: Computers in Industry (2002)

Among the features of concurrent engineering is the notion of distributed design, and the ability to communicate design changes to multidisciplinary teams. Engineering design is a complex activity. Differences in system architectures and information structures, and co-ordination requirements tend to reduce the effectiveness of distributed design. Current thinking indicates that multi-agent systems (MAS) can alleviate some of the complex engineering design problems. In this paper, it is argued that agent attributes such as proactiveness and autonomy can overcome these limitations. Agents provide a flexible and dynamic approach to distributed/multidisciplinary design team which can reduce redundant design activities, and improve coordination.
Markov Paging
Authors: Anna R. Karlin, Steven J. Phillips, Prabhakar Raghavan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

This paper considers the problem of paging under the assumption that the sequence of pages accessed is generated by a Markov chain. We use this model to study the fault-rate of paging algorithms. We first draw on the theory of Markov decision processes to characterize the paging algorithm that achieves optimal fault-rate on any Markov chain. Next, we address the problem of devising a paging strategy with low fault-rate for a given Markov chain. We show that a number of intuitive approaches fail. Our main result is a polynomial-time procedure that, on any Markov chain, will give a paging algorithm with fault-rate at most a constant times optimal. Our techniques show also that some algorithms that do poorly in practice fail in the Markov setting, despite known (good) performance guarantees when the requests are generated independently from a probability distribution.

DyRT: dynamic response textures for real time deformation simulation with graphics hardware
Authors: Doug L. James, Dinesh K. Pai
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

In this paper we describe how to simulate geometrically complex, interactive, physically-based, volumetric, dynamic deformation models with negligible main CPU costs. This is achieved using a Dynamic Response Texture, or DyRT, that can be mapped onto any conventional animation as an optional rendering stage using commodity graphics hardware. The DyRT simulation process employs precomputed modal vibration models excited by rigid body motions. We present several examples, with an emphasis on bone-based character animation for interactive applications.
MarconiNet supporting streaming media over localized wireless multicast
Authors: Ashutosh Dutta, Subir Das, Wai Chen, Anthony McAuley, Henning Schulzrinne, Onur Altintas
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international workshop on Mobile commerce (2002)

Flexible multi-media streaming such as advertisment insertion, location based services, mobility and wireless access are vital components that make existing Internet Radio and TV networks more attractive for the roaming users. All of these applications also provide added value to telematics, and military usage including coordination, education, situation awareness, distributed simulation, battlefield communication and multi-player games. While content distribution over a wired network can be realized by instituting proxies and gateways at several parts of the access network, providing mobility over heterogeneous wireless access need to consider many operational issues such as handoff, join and leave latency and desired level of quality of service for the mobile clients. This paper discusses some novel application layer techniques that provide a platform for Mobile E-Commerce with a multi-tiered payment and security scheme that supports a business model for a global streaming network. The proposed streaming network called MarconiNet is based on standard IETF protocols such as SIP, SAP and SDP for signaling, RTSP for stream control and RTP/RTCP for media delivery and feedback control.

Motion Understanding: Task-Directed Attention and Representations that Link Perception with Action
Authors: John K. Tsotsos
Venue: International Journal of Computer Vision (2001)

This short paper outlines my position on a future direction for computational research on visual motion understanding. The direction combines motion perception, visual attention, action representation and computational vision. Due the breadth of literature in these areas, the paper cannot present a comprehensive review of any one topic. The review is a selective one, a selection that attempts to make some particular points. I claim that task-directed attentive processing is a largely unexplored dimension in the computational motion field. I recount in the context of motion understanding a past argument that in order to make vision systems general, attention is one of the components of the strategy. No matter how sophisticated the methods become for extracting motion information from image sequences, it will not be possible to achieve the goal of human-like performance without integrating the optimization of processing that attention provides. Virtually all past surveys of computational models of motion processing completely ignore attention. However, the concept has crept into work over the years in a variety of ways. A second claim is that the biology of attention offers some interesting insights to guide future development. Many computational authors had previously commented that too little is known about how biological vision systems use task-directed attention in motion processing&semi; this is no longer true. Here, I briefly summarize biological evidence that attentive processing affects all aspects of visual perception including motion, and again emphasize that this paper does not do justice to the breadth and depth of the field. New findings provide a critical link between the perception of visual actions and their execution. Together these findings point to a strategy for motion understanding closely related to that presented more than two decades ago.

Rewrite cycles in CS courses: experience reports
Authors: Linda Null, Mike Ciaraldi, Liz Adams, Ursula Wolz, Max Hailperin
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

The generally accepted wisdom among teachers of English composition is that a "rewrite cycle" should be used as a teaching strategy. Rather than expecting students to extrapolate from the grading comments on paper N what they should do differently on paper N + 1, it has become conventional to ask for a rewrite of paper N itself. Of course, there are many variations on this theme. For example, peer review may supplement or replace some of the rounds of grading.The panelists will explore some of the ways they have applied this pedagogic strategy in computer science courses. Most obviously, when we have our students write papers, we have them do rewrites. However, some of us don't stop there, but rather also apply the same idea to the writing of programs or mathematical analyses. This encourages our students to do a high-quality job, and to feel that they have truly mastered a topic.Clearly, there are tradeoffs and difficulties, principally involving time. The panelists will also discuss this aspect, indicating how they have coped with the pitfalls, and indicating what has worked well, and what not so well. Ultimately, however, all the panelists are optimistic about the value of rewrite cycles.After the panelists share their experiences, there will be some time for discussion with the audience. Based on the interest this topic provoked on the sigcse.members mailing list, and in ensuing private email, we look forward to an active audience. We will also make materials from the session available at http://www.gustavus.edu/~max/rewrite/
Asymptotic expansions and bootstrap approximations in factor analysis
Authors: Masanori Ichikawa, Sadanori Konishi
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

We derive asymptotic expansions for the distributions of the normal theory maximum likelihood estimators of unique variances and uniquenesses (standardized unique variances) in the factor analysis model. Asymptotic expansions are given for the distributions of non-Studentized and also Studentized statistics to construct accurate confidence intervals. In the case of Studentized statistics, we investigate the accuracy of the asymptotic approximations to the exact distributions that are determined by Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that, compared with normal approximations, the asymptotic expansions generally improve the accuracy of the approximations in the tail area except for the cases of the uniqueness estimators whose true values are close to their upper bounds unity. We also compare three types of confidence intervals that are based on the distributions of the Studentized statistics; each of which employs normal approximation, asymptotic expansion of the percentile points of the Studentized statistic, and further modification using the bootstrap. The results show that while the first type of confidence intervals were far from equal-tailed, the latter two achieved better balance in both sides.
