High Order Schemes for Resolving Waves: Number of Points per Wavelength
Authors: Leland Jameson
Venue: Journal of Scientific Computing (2000)

For energetic flows there are many advantages of high order schemes over low order schemes. Here we examine a previously unknown advantage. It is commonly thought that the number of points per wavelength in order to obtain a given error in a numerical approximation depends only on runtime and the order of the approximation. Using truncation error arguments and examples we will show that it is not a constant and depends also on the wavenumber. This dependence on the numerical order and wavenumber strongly favors high order schemes for use in flows which have significant energy in the high modes such at Rayleigh&ndash;Taylor and Richtmyer&ndash;Meshkov instabilities.

Effects of power conservation, wireless coverage and cooperation on data dissemination among mobile devices
Authors: Maria Papadopouli, Henning Schulzrinne
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

This paper presents 7DS, a novel peer-to-peer data sharing system. 7DS is an architecture, a set of protocols and an implementation enabling the exchange of data among peers that are not necessarily connected to the Internet. Peers can be either mobile or stationary. It anticipates the information needs of users and fulfills them by searching from information among peers. We evaluate via extensive simulations the effectiveness of our system for data dissemination among mobile devices with a large number of user mobility scenarios. We model several general data dissemination approaches and investigate the effect of the wireless converage range, 7DS, host density, query interval and cooperation strategy among the mobile hosts. Using theory from random walks, random environments and diffusion of controlled processes, we model one of these data dissemination schemes and show that the analysis confirms the simulation results for scheme
FVC2000: Fingerprint Verification Competition
Authors: Dario Maio, Davide Maltoni, Raffaele Cappelli, J. L. Wayman, Anil K. Jain
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

Reliable and accurate fingerprint recognition is a challenging pattern recognition problem, requiring algorithms robust in many contexts. FVC2000 competition attempted to establish the first common benchmark, allowing companies and academic institutions to unambiguously compare performance and track improvements in their fingerprint recognition algorithms. Three databases were created using different state-of-the-art sensors and a fourth database was artificially generated; 11 algorithms were extensively tested on the four data sets. We believe that FVC2000 protocol, databases, and results will be useful to all practitioners in the field not only as a benchmark for improving methods, but also for enabling an unbiased evaluation of algorithms.

Design limitations in deep sub-0.1&mgr;m CMOS SRAM
Authors: Robert K. Grube, Qi Wang, Sung-Mo Kang
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

Leakage effects in deep sub-0.1&mgr;m CMOS technologies are of critical concern to designers of high-performance integrated circuits. Recent estimates [1] of a 7.5x increase in leakage current per chip generation; along with several proposals for energy-efficient cache architectures that unfortunately do not address static leakage-energy issues [2], [3], [4], have heightened concerns over the functionality and stability of future high-performance SRAM cache designs. Each of these future technology generations, in addition to having increased short-channel effects (SCEs) will now also suffer from gate leakage currents across physically and electrically thin (1.5nm) SiO2 gate dielectrics. In this paper we demonstrate the limits of this scaling on the operational behavior of on-chip SRAM cache designs, and briefly discuss the impact of these results on high-performance memory architectures.

HijackGL: reconstructing from streams for stylized rendering
Authors: Alex Mohr, Michael Gleicher
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (2002)

This work shows that intercepting a low-level graphics library command stream and reconstructing a declarative representation is practical and useful, especially for exploring new rendering styles. We show not only how the basic mechanics of intercepting an OpenGL command stream lead to a non-invasive extension mechanism for graphics applications, but also how simply manipulating the stream severely limits the kinds of styles we can consider. We describe how our system efficiently reconstructs a declarative representation of the geometry implicit in the graphics library command stream. We present a set of application extensions built with this framework including several stylized renderers. Extensions built using our system are capable of changing the rendering style of applications on the fly at interactive rates.
Wire layer geometry optimization using stochastic wire sampling
Authors: Raymond A. Wildman, Joshua I. Kramer, Daniel S. Weile, Phillip Christie
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction (2002)

The variation of in-plane interconnect geometry (pitch and width) as a function of wiring level results in improved system level performance because the properties of each wiring layer may be tailored to the characteristic lengths of the wires allocated to it. Performance metrics such as interconnect functional yield, and power dissipation are well suited to layer-by-layer optimization since they are determined by geometrical properties integrated across the wiring layer. The cycle time of a circuit, on the other hand, is a poor candidate for geometry optimization because it may be determined by a single wire length allocated to a single wiring layer. This paper addresses this issue by combining a genetic algorithm for geometry optimization with stochastic sampling of the wires lengths used in determining the signal delay within a key circuit block. We present results on how the stability of the optimal cycle time geometries vary as a function of the stochastic variations inherent in the layout process.

Cyndi's List
Authors: Cyndi Howells
Venue:  (1999)

:Winner of numerous awards, the object of countless honors, and acclaimed by authorities throughout the world, Cyndi's List is the gateway to Internet genealogy, providing the researcher with more than 40,000 links to every conceivable genealogical resource on the Internet. An Aladdin's cave of genealogical riches--its bounty spread comprehensively across one hundred subject categoriesCyndi's List, like the fabled cave, offers unparalleled riches to those who would mine its storied contents. For the genealogist, Cyndi's List is nothing short of a phenomenon. It originated just a few years ago with the modest aim of providing the Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society with five or six pages of genealogy web site addresses. From there, Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet with 1,025 links listed on one page, grew to more than 40,000 categorized and cross-referenced links in more than 100 categories listed on more than 300 individual web pages. The site now has more than 64,000 visitors each day, with more than 7 million people having stepped through the front door of the site to date. The Internet is a remarkable and revolutionary tool in itself, but it is Cyndi's List that has spearheaded the revolution in Internet genealogy. Like a scholar, Cyndi has studied the random organization of genealogical information on the Internet and has reduced it to a cohesive pattern for all to see and benefit from. Like a librarian, Cyndi has carefully created her massive index of genealogy web sites and cross-referenced them so that visitors to Cyndi's List can find what they're seeking regardless of how they approach their research. Like a teacher, Cyndi has patiently volunteered her time helping tens of thousands of family historians to better understand this wonderful tool called the Internet. Small wonder that Cyndi's List has become the premier index to genealogy and family history resources on the Internet! Even as Cyndi's List has become a traditional online research tool for people worldwide, the need for a printed version of it has become more and more apparent. Numerous people have asked for a printed version of the site to help them prepare in advance for the time they spend doing their research online; and of course a printed version would also be convenient for those who pay for their Internet connectivity by the minute. Libraries and Family History Centers have also expressed a need for the printed version of Cyndi's List, since with the book version next to each computer terminal, library patrons would be able to spend their limited time online in a productive manner. Hence the appearance of the book version of Cyndi's List! Here, in print, is the organized, cross-referenced index to genealogy and family history sites on the Internet, where the explosion of interest in genealogy is a phenomenon itself.

On simulation model complexity
Authors: Leonardo Chwif, Marcos Ribeiro Pereira Barretto, Ray J. Paul
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Nowadays the size and complexity of models is growing more and more, forcing modelers to face some problems that they were not accustomed to. Before trying to study ways to deal with complex models, a more important and primary question to explore is, is there any means to avoid the generation of complex models? The primary purpose of this paper is to discuss several issues regarding the complexity of simulation models, summarizing the findings in this area so far, and calling attention to this area that, despite its importance, appears to remain at the bottom of simulation research agendas.

TAXIS offers (relational) database management facilities, a means of specifying semantic integrity constraints and an exception-handling mechanism, integrated into a single language through the concepts of class, property and the ISA (generalization) relationship. The paper includes a description of the main constructs of TAXIS and illustrates their usefulness with examples.
Student's Companion to the World Wide Web: Social Sciences and Humanities Resources
Authors: Jim Millhorn
Venue:  (2000)

:The World Wide Web is expanding at a rapid pace. This progressive growth has inevitably created a proliferation of sites and information sources that are posted on this medium. Jim Millhorn attempts to examine a small corner of this undergrowth in "Student's Companion to the World Wide Web" by focusing on outstanding academic and scholarly sites for students in the social sciences and humanities. While the Web is an invaluable source of information, students do not always know how to extract the information that they seek. This guide can offer assistance. This book expertly handles common reference sources, search engines, meta-subject guides, the humanities, and social science disciplines, which are arranged in an alphabetized sequence of chapters featuring each individual discipline. An innovative and timely answer to the student's quest for information, this book opens the broadest purview the Web offers on a specific discipline while simultaneously limiting the number of featured sites.Author Biography: Jim Millhorn is Assistant Professor and Head of Acquisitions for the University Libraries at Northern Illinois University.

Connectables: dynamic coupling of displays for the flexible creation of shared workspaces
Authors: Peter Tandler, Thorsten Prante, Christian Müller-Tomfelde, Norbert Streitz, Ralf Steinmetz
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

We present the ConnecTable, a new mobile, networked and context-aware information appliance that provides affordances for pen-based individual and cooperative work as well as for the seamless transition between the two. In order to dynamically enlarge an interaction area for the purpose of shared use, a flexible coupling of displays has been realized that overcomes the restrictions of display sizes and borders. Two ConnecTable displays dynamically form a homogeneous display area when moved close to each other. The appropriate triggering signal comes from built-in sensors allowing users to temporally combine their individual displays to a larger shared one by a simple physical movement in space. Connected ConnecTables allow their users to work in parallel on an ad-hoc created shared workspace as well as exchanging information by simply shuffling objects from one display to the other. We discuss the user interface and related issues as well as the software architecture. We also present the physical realization of the ConnecTables.
