Identifying Efficient Combinations of Error Detection Mechanisms Based on Results of Fault Injection Experiments
Authors: A. Steininger, C. Scherrer
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

We introduce novel performance ratings for error detection mechanisms. Given a proper setup of the fault injection experiments, these ratings can be directly computed from raw readout data. They allow the evaluation of the overall performance of arbitrary combinations of mechanisms without the need for further experiments. With this means we can determine a minimal subset of mechanisms that still provides the required performance.

The Eifel algorithm: making TCP robust against spurious retransmissions
Authors: Reiner Ludwig, Randy H. Katz
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2000)

We propose an enhancement to TCP's error recovery scheme, which we call the Eifel algorithm. It eliminates the retransmission ambiguity, thereby solving the problems caused by spurious timeouts and spurious fast retransmits. It can be incrementally deployed as it is backwards compatible and does not change TCP's congestion control semantics. In environments where spurious retransmissions occur frequently, the algorithm can improve the end-to-end throughput by several tens of percent. An exact quantification is, however, highly dependent on the path characteristics over time. The Eifel algorithm finally makes TCP truly wireless-capable without the need for proxies between the end points. Another key novelty is that the Eifel algorithm provides for the implementation of a more optimistic retransmission timer because it reduces the penalty of a spurious timeout to a single (in the common case) spurious retransmission.
Optimal algorithms for local vertex quartet cleaning
Authors: Gianluca Della Vedova, H. Todd Wareham
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Reconstructing evolutionary trees is an important problem in biology. A response to the computational intractability of most of the traditional criteria for inferring evolutionary tree has been a focus on new criteria, particularly quartet-based methods that seek to merge trees derived on subsets of four species from a given species-set into a tree for that entire set. Unfortunately, most of these methods are very sensitive to errors in the reconstruction of the trees for individual quartets of species. A recently-developed technique called quartet cleaning can alleviate this difficulty in certain cases by using redundant information in the complete set of quartet topologies for a given species-set to correct such errors. In this paper, we describe two new local vertex quartet cleaning algorithms which have optimal time complexity and error-correction bound, respectively. These are the first known local vertex quartet cleaning algorithms that are optimal with respect to either of these attributes.

A particle swarm model for swarm-based networked sensor systems
Authors: B. Anthony Kadrovach, Gary B. Lamont
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Swarm behavior as demonstrated by flocks of birds, schools of fish, and swarms of insects provide a useful method for implementing a distributed network of mobile sensor platforms. Such mobile sensor swarm systems are useful for various search or surveillance activities. Swarm behavior ensures safe separation between swarm members while enforcing a level of cohesion. These two properties, when considered in the context of sensors and wireless communications, provide for low redundancy coverage and a robust and reliable communications system. This paper examines particle swarm behavior through simulation with respect to such a sensor network. Analysis of swarm behavior for various parameter settings indicate a classification methodology. This provides a foundation for a proposed taxonomy.

Quantum lower bound for the collision problem
Authors: Scott Aaronson
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) The collision problem is to decide whether a function X: { 1,&ldots;,n} &rarr; { 1, &ldots;,n} is one-to-one or two-to-one, given that one of these is the case. We show a lower bound of &Omega;(n1/5) on the number of queries needed by a quantum computer to solve this problem with bounded error probability. The best known upper bound is O(n1/3), but obtaining any lower bound better than &Omega;(1) was an open problem since 1997. Our proof uses the polynomial method augmented by some new ideas. We also give a lower bound of &Omega;(n1/7) for the problem of deciding whether two sets are equal or disjoint on a constant fraction of elements. Finally we give implications of these results for quantum complexity theory.
Simulation in shipbuilding: the human simulation: resolving manning issues onboard DD21
Authors: Clyde R. Wetteland, Jeff L. Miller, Jonathan French, Kelly O'Brien, Daniel J. Spooner
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The limitations that human operators impose on task execution are rarely integrated into simulations of complex systems, resulting in considerable loss of outcome fidelity. A discrete-event simulation tool, Micro Saint, was used to stochastically model the impact of human interactions in a comprehensive model of the next generation US Navy destroyer, DD21, to support the Blue contract competitor team. Mission essential tasks performed by a 3-operator and a 4-operator configurations were modeled during a demanding 2.5 hour land attack scenario. Estimates of utilization rate for the two configurations revealed that two of the operators were tasked more frequently during the 3-operator configuration compared to a 4-operator configuration. Workload estimates showed that Operator 2 was working with significantly increased workload for the smaller watchteam configuration. The workload for Operator 2 dropped 36% when Operator 4 was added to the mission. This over tasking likely contributed to the finding that the smaller configuration could not respond to a call for fire in support of ground forces before 179 seconds whereas the 4 operator team responded within 61 seconds. The DD21 model suggests that the small watchteam configuration might not be acceptable, particularly during missions lasting over several days.

Flytrap: intelligent group music recommendation
Authors: Andrew Crossen, Jay Budzik, Kristian J. Hammond
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Flytrap is a group music environment that knows its users' musical tastes and can automatically construct a soundtrack that tries to please everyone in the room. The system works by paying attention to what music people listen to on their computers. Users of the system have radio frequency ID badges that let the system know when they are nearby. Using the preference information it has gathered from watching its users, and knowledge of how genres of music interrelate, how artists have influenced each other, and what kinds of transitions between songs people tend to make, the 'virtual DJ' finds a compromise and chooses a song. The system tries to satisfy the tastes of people in the room, but it also makes a playlist that fits its own notion of what should come next. Once it has chosen a song, music is automatically broadcast over the network and played on the closest machine.
