Towards automatic construction of staged compilers
Authors: Matthai Philipose, Craig Chambers, Susan J. Eggers
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

Some compilation systems, such as offline partial evaluators and selective dynamic compilation systems, support staged optimizations. A staged optimization is one where a logically single optimization is broken up into stages, with the early stage(s) performing preplanning set-up work, given any available partial knowledge about the program to be compiled, and the final stage completing the optimization. The final stage can be much faster than the original optimization by having much of its work performed by the early stages. A key limitation of current staged optimizers is that they are written by hand, sometimes in an ad hoc manner. We have developed a framework called the Staged Compilation Framework (SCF) for systematically and automatically converting single-stage optimizations into staged versions. The framework is based on a combination of aggressive partial evaluation and dead-assignment elimination. We have implemented SCF in Standard ML. A preliminary evaluation shows that SCF can speed up classical optimization of some commonly used C functions by up to 12&times; (and typically between 4.5&times; and 5.5&times;).

An open toolkit for prototyping reverse engineering visualizations
Authors: Alexandru Telea, Alessandro Maccari, Claudio Riva
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

Maintenance and evolution of complex software systems (such as mobile telephones) involves activities such as reverse engineering (RE) and software visualization. Although several RE tools exist, we found their architecture hard to adapt to the domain and problem specific requirements posed by our current practice in Nokia. In this paper, we present an open architecture which allows easy prototyping of RE data exploration and visualization scenarios for a large range of domain models. We pay special attention to the visual and interactive requirements of the reverse engineering process. We compare our toolkit with other existing reverse engineering visual tools and outline the differences.

A lightweight approach to specification and analysis of role-based access control extensions
Authors: Andreas Schaad, Jonathan D. Moffett
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

Role-based access control is a powerful and policy-neutral concept for enforcing access control. Many extensions have been proposed, the most significant of which are the decentralised administration of role-based systems and the enforcement of constraints. However, the simultaneous integration of these extensions can cause conflicts in a later system implementation. We demonstrate how we use the Alloy language for the specification of a conflict-free role-based system. This specification provides us at the same time with a suitable basis for further analysis by the Alloy constraint analyser.

Design as a minority discipline in a software company: toward requirements for a community of practice
Authors: Michael J. Muller, Kenneth Carey
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

This paper provides a description of designers' work practices in a software company. We describe a participatory analysis of the diversity of working relations and roles of designers of IBM's Lotus software products. Designers are an example of a minority discipline - that is, a discipline whose members are often isolated in their work teams among coworkers with different training, backgrounds, and career paths. We explore differences between the practices of designers of Lotus software products and the published reports of design practices in group settings

Closing the smoothness and uniformity gap in area fill synthesis
Authors: Yu Chen, Andrew B. Kahng, Gabriel Robins, Alexander Zelikovsky
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

Control of variability in the back end of the line, and hence in interconnect performance as well, has become extremely difficult with the introduction of new materials such as copper and low-k dielectrics. Uniformity of chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) requires the addition of area fill geometries into the layout, in order to smoothen the variation of feature densities across the die. Our work addresses the following smoothness gap in the recent literature on area fill synthesis. (1)The very first paper on the filling problem (Kahng et al., ISPD98 [7]) noted that there is potentially a large difference between the optimum window densities in fixed dissections vs. when all possible windows in the layout are considered. (2)Despite this observation, all filling methods since 1998 minimize and evaluate density variation only with respect to a fixed dissection. This paper gives the first evaluation of existing filling algorithms with respect to "gridless" ("floating-window") mode, according to both the effective and spatial density models. Our experiments indicate surprising advantages of Monte-Carlo and greedy strategies over "optimal" linear programming (LP) based methods. Second, we suggest new, more relevant methods of measuring a local uniformity based on Lipschitz conditions, and empirically demonstrate that Monte-Carlo methods are inherently better than LP with respect to the new criteria. Finally, we propose new LP-based filling methods that are directly driven by the new criteria, and show that these methods indeed help close the "smoothness gap".

Extraction of Visual Features for Lipreading
Authors: Iain Matthews, Timothy F. Cootes, J. Andrew Bangham, Stephen Cox, Richard Harvey
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

The multimodal nature of speech is often ignored in human-computer interaction, but lip deformations and other body motion, such as those of the head, convey additional information. We integrate speech cues from many sources and this improves intelligibility, especially when the acoustic signal is degraded. This paper shows how this additional, often complementary, visual speech information can be used for speech recognition. Three methods for parameterizing lip image sequences for recognition using hidden Markov models are compared. Two of these are top-down approaches that fit a model of the inner and outer lip contours and derive lipreading features from a principal component analysis of shape or shape and appearance, respectively. The third, bottom-up, method uses a nonlinear scale-space analysis to form features directly from the pixel intensity. All methods are compared on a multitalker visual speech recognition task of isolated letters.

Shape-based retrieval of similar subsequences in time-series databases
Authors: Sang-Wook Kim, Jeehee Yoon, Sanghyun Park, Tae-Hoon Kim
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper deals with the problem of shape-based retrieval in time-series databases. The shape-based retrieval is defined as the operation that searches for the (sub)sequences whose shapes are similar to that of a given query sequence. In this paper, we propose an effective and efficient approach for shape-based retrieval of subsequences. We first introduce a new similarity model for shape-based retrieval that supports various combinations of transformations such as shifting, scaling, moving average, and time warping. For efficient processing of the shape-based retrieval, we also propose the indexing and query processing methods. To verify the superiority of our approach, we perform extensive experiments with the real-world S&P 500 stock data. The results reveal that our approach successfully finds all the subsequences that have the shapes similar to that of the query sequence, and also achieves significant speedup over the sequential scan method.
