Language-based performance prediction for distributed and mobile systems
Authors: Corrado Priami
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

We present a framework for performance prediction of distributed and mobile systems. We rely on process calculi and their structural operational semantics. The dynamic behaviour is described through transition systems whose transitions are labelled by encodings of their proofs that we then map into stochastic processes. We enhance related works by allowing general continuous distributions resorting to a notion of enabling between transitions. We also discuss how the number of resources available affects the overall model. Finally, we introduce a notion of bisimulation that takes stochastic information into account and prove it to be a congruence. When only exponential distributions are of interest our equivalence induces a lumpable partition on the underlying Markov process.

CODASYS: a consulting tool for novice database designers
Authors: Solomon R. Antony, Dinesh Batra
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2002)

The paper describes the main features of a prototype tool CODASYS (COnceptual modeling tool for DAtabase SYStems), which purports to help novice designers engaged in conceptual data modeling. It is well known that conceptual data modeling is an error-prone process for novice database designers. The tool assists a designer in developing an entity-relationship diagram that can be translated to a normalized relational representation, free of derived dependencies. We first discuss a set of requirements for the tool that is based on achieving normal forms, on preventing data modeling errors, and on a theoretical foundation. We then discuss how the tool achieves the four normal forms and prevents common database errors such as incorrect degree, incorrect connectivity, and derived relationships. Further, we provide a cognitive framework for understanding novice error behavior and elaborate on how CODASYS addresses cognitive strain in database design. Next, we present the features of the tool and, with the help of flowcharts, discuss how these features have been implemented using a rule-based approach. It may be noted that empirical studies have been conducted to test the efficacy of the tool and have indicated significant improvement in novice designer performance.

Linear-Time Representation Algorithms for Proper Circular-Arc Graphs and Proper Interval Graphs
Authors: Xiaotie Deng, Pavol Hell, Jing Huang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (1996)

Our main result is a linear-time (that is, time $O(m+n)$) algorithm to recognize and represent proper circular-arc graphs. The best previous algorithm, due to A. Tucker, has time complexity $O(n^2)$. We take advantage of the fact that (among connected graphs) proper circular-arc graphs are precisely the graphs orientable as local tournaments, and we use a new characterization of local tournaments. The algorithm depends on repeated representation of portions of the input graph as proper interval graphs. Thus we also find it useful to give a new linear-time algorithm to represent proper interval graphs. This latter algorithm also depends on an orientation characterization of proper interval graphs. It is conceptually simple and does not use complex data structures. As a byproduct of the correctness proof of the algorithm, we also obtain a new proof of a characterization of proper interval graphs by forbidden subgraphs.

Removing the overhead from software-based shared memory
Authors: Zoran Radović, Erik Hagersten
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (2001)

The implementation presented in this paper---DSZOOM-WF---is a sequentially consistent, fine-grained distributed software-based shared memory. It demonstrates a protocol-handling overhead below a microsecond for all the actions involved in a remote load operation, to be compared to the fastest implementation to date of around ten microseconds.The all-software protocol is implemented assuming some basic low-level primitives in the cluster interconnect and an operating system bypass functionality, similar to the emerging InfiniBand standard. All interrupt- and/or poll-based asynchronous protocol processing is completely removed by running the entire coherence protocol in the requesting processor. This not only removes the asynchronous overhead, but also makes use of a processor that otherwise would stall. The technique is applicable to both page-based and fine-grain software-based shared memory.DSZOOM-WF consistently demonstrates performance comparable to hardware-based distributed shared memory implementations.

Sensor deployment strategy for target detection
Authors: Thomas Clouqueur, Veradej Phipatanasuphorn, Parameswaran Ramanathan, Kewal K. Saluja
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Wireless sensor networks and applications (2002)

In order to monitor a region for traffic traversal, sensors can be deployed to perform collaborative target detection. Such a sensor network achieves a certain level of detection performance with an associated cost of deployment. This paper addresses this problem by proposing path exposure as a measure of the goodness of a deployment and presents an approach for sequential deployment in steps. It illustrates that the cost of deployment can be minimized to achieve the desired detection performance by appropriately choosing the number of sensors deployed in each step.

Automated design synthesis and partitioning for adaptive reconfigurable hardware
Authors: Ranga Vemuri, Sriram Govindarajan, Iyad Ouaiss, Meenakshi Kaul, Vinoo Srinivasan, Shankar Radhakrishnan, Sujatha Sundaraman, Satish Ganesan, Awartika Pandey, Preetham Lakshmikanthan
Venue: Hardware implementation of intelligent systems (2001)

The advent of reconfigurable logic arrays facilitates the development of adaptive architectures that have wide applicability as stand- alone intelligent systems. The hardware structure of such architectures can be rapidly altered to suit the changing computational needs of an application during its execution. The power of adaptive architectures has been demonstrated primarily in image processing, digital signal processing, and other areas such as neural networks and genetic algorithms. This chapter discusses the state-of-the-art architectures, their classification, and their applications. In order to effectively exploit adaptive architectures, efficient and retargetable design synthesis techniques are necessary. Further, the synthesis techniques must be fully integrated with design partitioning methods to make use of the multiplicity of reconfigurable devices provided by adaptive architectures. This chapter provides a description of a collection of synthesis and partitioning techniques and their embodiment in the SPARCS (Synthesis and Partitioning for Adaptive Reconfigurable Computing Systems) system.
Finite element analysis and design of fixed-ended plain channel columns
Authors: Ben Young, Jintang Yan
Venue: Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (2002)

A finite element analysis and design of fixed-ended cold-formed plain channel columns is presented in this paper. A non-linear finite element model is developed and verified against experimental results. Geometric and material non-linearities were included in the finite element model. A sensitivity analysis on geometric imperfections of the plain channel columns was performed. It was shown that the finite element model closely predicted the ultimate loads and failure modes of the tested columns. Hence, the model was used for an extensive parametric study of cross-section geometries. The column strengths predicted by the finite element analysis are compared with the design column strengths calculated using the Australian/New Zealand, American and European specifications for cold-formed steel structures. It is shown that the design strengths calculated from the three specifications are generally conservative for fixed-ended plain channel columns.

A hardware-software co-simulator for embedded system design and debugging
Authors: A. Ghosh, M. Bershteyn, R. Casley, C. Chien, A. Jain, M. Lipsie, D. Tarrodaychik, O. Yamamoto
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

One of the interesting problems in hardware-software co-design is that of debugging embedded software in conjunction with hardware. Currently, most software designers wait until a working hardware prototype is available before debugging software. Bugs discovered in hardware during the software-debugging phase require re-design and re-fabrication, thereby not only delaying the project but also increasing cost. It also puts software debugging on hold until a new hardware prototype is available. In this paper we describe a hardware-software co-simulator that can be used in the design, debugging and verification of embedded systems. This tool contains simulators for different parts of the system and a backplane which is used to integrate the simulators. This enables us to simulate hardware, software and their interaction efficiently. We also address the problem of simulation speed. Currently, the more accurate (in terms of timing) the models used, the longer it takes to simulate a system. Our main contribution is a set of techniques to speed up simulation of processors and peripherals without significant loss in timing accuracy.
Accurate gear tooth contact and sensitivity computation for hypoid bevel gears
Authors: Olaf Vogel
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

We investigate a new method for gear tooth contact analysis based on a mathematical model of the generating process. The approach allows the computation of the paths of contract as the solution set of a nonlinear operator equation using a minimally augmented defining system for certain first order singularities. As a byproduct we obtain curvature properties of the gear tooth flanks, the reduced curvatures at the contact points, as well as the boundaries of the paths of contact in a convenient way. Using automatic differentiation, all the geometric quantities are computable with the machine accuracy of the computer. For the first time, we provide analytical sensitivities of the determined contact properties with respect to arbitrary machine tool settings such as additional motion parameters. Thus the systematic optimization of the gear tooth contact as well as the evaluation of the impact of perturbations on the contact pattern become available in a straightforward fashion. In order to obtain the desired sensitivity information, we compute derivative tensors of an implicit function up to order three using the software tool ADOL-C.
On Counting Independent Sets in Sparse Graphs
Authors: Martin Dyer, Alan Frieze, Mark Jerrum
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We prove two results concerning approximate counting of independent sets in graphs with constant maximum degree $\Delta$. The first implies that the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique is likely to fail if $\Delta \geq 6$. The second shows that no fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme can exist for $\Delta \geq 25$, unless $\mathrm{RP}=\mathrm{NP}$.
Scheduling and dispatching: scheduling batch processing machines in complex job shops
Authors: Kasin Oey, Scott J. Mason
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

This paper considers a complex job shop problem with reentrant flow and batch processing machines. A modified shifting bottleneck heuristic (MSB) is considered for generating machine schedules to minimize the total weighted tardiness. We observe that the MSB could produce infeasible schedules where cyclic schedules are found. A cycle elimination procedure is proposed to remove the possibility of the MSB generating cyclic schedules in the solution.
