Combination of software development effort prediction intervals: why, when and how?
Authors: Magne Jørgensen, Kjetil Moløkken
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The uncertainty of a software development effort estimate may be described through a prediction interval, e.g., that the most likely use of effort is 1.500 work-hours and that it is 90 % probable (90% confidence level) that the actual use of effort will be between 1.000 (minimum) and 2.000 (maximum) work-hours. Previous studies suggest that software development effort prediction intervals are, on average, much too narrow to reflect high confidence levels, i.e., the uncertainty is under-estimated. This paper analyses when and how a combination of several individual prediction intervals of the same task improves the correspondence between hit rate and confidence level of effort prediction intervals. We analyse three combination strategies: (1) Average of the individual minimum and maximum values, (2) Maximum and minimum of the individual maximum and minimum values, and (3) Group process (discussion) based prediction intervals. Based on an empirical study with software professionals we found that strategy (1) did not lead to much correspondence improvement compared with the individual prediction intervals, mainly because of a, as expected, strong individual bias towards too narrow prediction intervals. Strategy (2) and (3) both improved the correspondence. However, Strategy (3) used the uncertainty information more efficiently, i.e., had narrower prediction intervals for the same hit rate. Our empirical results suggest that group discussion based combination of prediction intervals should be used instead of "mechanical" combinations of individual prediction intervals. Clearly, there is no best combination strategy for all prediction interval situations, and the choice of strategy should be based on an investigation of factors that impact the usefulness of a strategy.

A statistical analysis of the long-run node spatial distribution in mobile ad hoc networks
Authors: Douglas M. Blough, Giovanni Resta, Paolo Santi
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Modeling analysis and simulation of wireless and mobile systems (2002)

In this paper, we analyze the node spatial distribution of mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Characterizing this distribution is of fundamental importance in the analysis of many relevant properties of mobile ad hoc networks, such as connectivity, average route length, and network capacity. In particular, we have investigated under what conditions the node spatial distribution resulting after a large number of mobility steps resembles the uniform distribution. This is motivated by the fact that the existing theoretical results concerning mobile ad hoc networks are based on this as sumption. In order to test this hypothesis, we performed extensive simulations using two well-known mobility models: the random waypoint model, which resembles intentional movement, and a Brownian-like model, which resembles non-intentional movement. Our analysis has shown that in the Brownian-like motion the uniformity assumption does hold,and that the intensity of the concentration of nodes in the center of the deployment region that occurs in the ran dom waypoint model heavily depends on the choice of some mobility parameters. For extreme values of these parameters,the uniformity assumption is impaired.

An out-of-core method for computing connectivities of large unstructured meshes
Authors: Shyh-Kuang Ueng, K. Sikorski
Venue: Proceedings of the Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (2002)

Adjacency graphs of meshes are important for visualizing or compressing unstructured scientific data. However, calculating adjacency graphs requires intensive memory space. For large data sets, the calculation becomes very inefficient on desk-top computers with limited main memory. In this article, an out-of-core method is presented for finding connectivities of large unstructured FEA data sets. Our algorithm composes of three stages. At the first stage, FEA cells are read into main memory in blocks. For each cell block read, cell faces are generated and distributed into disjoint groups. These groups are small enough such that each group can reside in main memory without causing any page swapping. The resulted groups are stored in disk files. At the second stage, the face groups are fetched into main memory and processed there one after another. Adjacency graph edges are determined in each face group by sorting faces and examining consecutive faces. The edges contained in a group are kept in a disk file. At the third stage, edge files are merged into a single file by using external merge sort, and the connectivity information is computed.
Proceedings of a Symposium on Large Scale Digital Calculating Machinery 1948
Authors: William Aspray
Venue:  (1985)

:In January 1947, the Navy Department Bureau of Ordnance and Harvard University jointly sponsored a symposium at the Harvard Computation Laboratory on large-scale digital calculating machinery. It provided one of the first and most important early forums for discussion of the problems and approaches in the design, construction, operation, and application of computers. Coming before the establishment of professional journals, societies, or regular meetings in computer science, the proceedings of the symposium offer the best picture of computing technology in the early years that we have available. Included are papers by Howard Aiken, Samuel Caldwell, Jay Forrester, Herman Goldstine, John Mauchly, George Stibitz, and over twenty others. Proceedings of a Symposium on Large-Scale Digital Calculating Machinery was published in 1948 by Harvard University Press. It is Volume VIII in the Charles Babbage Institute Reprint Series.
Visfiles: UK team surveys web-based visualization
Authors: Bill Hibbard
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (2000)

Arguably the trigger for the success of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s was its ability to convey images as well as text. Documents could include colour pictures at no extra cost. In those days, however, scientific visualization in a Web context was a passive activity. A scientist would create a visualization using a conventional system, and publish it on a website - for a reader to later observe. The Web was simply a publication medium. Today of course the Web represents a rich distributed computing environment: visualization can now be executed as a live process with active engagement from the audience.A new field of Web-based visualization has emerged.
Effects of Ordering Strategies and Programming Paradigms on Sparse Matrix Computations
Authors: Leonid Oliker, Xiaoye Li, Parry Husbands, Rupak Biswas
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

The conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm is perhaps the best-known iterative technique for solving sparse linear systems that are symmetric and positive definite. For systems that are ill conditioned, it is often necessary to use a preconditioning technique. In this paper, we investigate the effects of various ordering and partitioning strategies on the performance of parallel CG and ILU(0) preconditioned CG (PCG) using different programming paradigms and architectures. Results show that for this class of applications, ordering significantly improves overall performance on both distributed and distributed shared-memory systems, cache reuse may be more important than reducing communication, it is possible to achieve message-passing performance using shared-memory constructs through careful data ordering and distribution, and a hybrid MPI + OpenMP paradigm increases programming complexity with little performance gain. A multithreaded implementation of CG on the Cray MTA does not require special ordering or partitioning to obtain high efficiency and scalability, giving it a distinct advantage for adaptive applications; however, it shows limited scalability for PCG due to a lack of thread-level parallelism.
A Class of Rate-Based Real-Time Scheduling Algorithms
Authors: Tei-Wei Kuo, Wang-Ru Yang, Kwei-Jay Lin
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

This paper investigates a class of rate-based real-time scheduling algorithms based on the idea of general processor sharing (GPS). We extend the GPS framework for periodic and sporadic process scheduling and show the optimality of GPS-based scheduling. In particular, we propose the Earliest-Completion-Time GPS (EGPS) scheduling algorithm to simulate the GPS algorithm with much lower run-time overheads. The schedulability of each process is enforced by a guaranteed CPU service rate, independent of the demands of other processes. We provide a theoretical foundation to assign proper CPU service rates to processes to satisfy their individual stringent response time requirements. We also propose a GPS-based scheduling mechanism for jitter control. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithms is studied using a generic avionics platform example and simulation experiments on jitter control and mixed soft and hard real-time process scheduling.
On the Efficient Parallel Computation of Legendre Transforms
Authors: Márcia A. Inda, Rob H. Bisseling, David K. Maslen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this article, we discuss a parallel implementation of efficient algorithms for computation of Legendre polynomial transforms and other orthogonal polynomial transforms. We develop an approach to the Driscoll--Healy algorithm using polynomial arithmetic and present experimental results on the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of our implementation. The algorithms were implemented in ANSI C using the BSPlib communications library. We also present a new algorithm for computing the cosine transform of two vectors at the same time.
Optimized Schwarz Methods without Overlap for the Helmholtz Equation
Authors: Martin J. Gander, Frédéric Magoulès, Frédéric Nataf
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

The classical Schwarz method is a domain decomposition method to solve elliptic partial differential equations in parallel. Convergence is achieved through overlap of the subdomains. We study in this paper a variant of the Schwarz method which converges without overlap for the Helmholtz equation. We show that the key ingredients for such an algorithm are the transmission conditions. We derive optimal transmission conditions which lead to convergence of the algorithm in a finite number of steps. These conditions are, however, nonlocal in nature, and we introduce local approximations which we optimize for performance of the Schwarz method. This leads to an algorithm in the class of optimized Schwarz methods. We present an asymptotic analysis of the optimized Schwarz method for two types of transmission conditions, Robin conditions and transmission conditions with second order tangential derivatives. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the optimized Schwarz method on a model problem and on a problem from industry.
