Block-wise Extraction of Rent's Exponents for an Extensible Processor
Authors: Tapani Ahonen, Tero Nurmi, Jari Nurmi, Jouni Isoaho
Venue: Proceedings of the IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI'03) (2003)

It is envisioned that future system-on-chip hardwareplatform designs will be based on reuse of a customizableprocessor core. Consequently, being able to quicklyevaluate the key performance metrics associated withspecific points in the design space becomes essential.Development of an early design phase performanceestimation method for logic blocks of an extensibleprocessor core is described. The processor blocks weresystematically synthesized with varying constraints forreference and the corresponding Rent's exponents wereextracted from the results. The impact of synthesis-originated design space discontinuities on the accuracy ofphysical performance estimation was evaluated byapplying linear regression on the resulting design points.
A SIMPLE PARALLEL PREFIX ALGORITHM FOR COMPACT FINITE-DIFFERENCE SCHEMES
Authors: He S Xian-Joslin
Venue:  (1993)

A compact scheme is a discretization scheme that is advantageous in obtaining highly accurate solutions. However, the resulting systems from compact schemes are tridiagonal systems that are difficult to solve efficiently on parallel computers. Considering the almost symmetric Toeplitz structure, a parallel algorithm, simple parallel prefix (SPP), is proposed. The SPP algorithm requires less memory than the conventional LU decomposition and is highly efficient on parallel machines. It consists of a prefix communication pattern and AXPY operations. Both the computation and the communication can be truncated without degrading the accuracy when the system is diagonally dominant. A formal accuracy study has been conducted to provide a simple truncation formula. Experimental results have been measured on a MasPar MP-1 SIMD machine and on a Cray 2 vector machine. Experimental results show that the simple parallel prefix algorithm is a good algorithm for the compact scheme on high-performance computers.

A robust model for intelligent text classification
Authors: Roberto Basili, Alessandro Moschitti
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (2001)

Methods for taking into account linguistic content into text retrieval are receiving a growing attention [16],[14]. Text categorization is an interesting area for evaluating and quantifying the impact of linguistic information. Works in text retrieval through Internet suggest that embedding linguistic information at a suitable level within traditional quantitative approaches (e.g. sense distinctions for query expansion as in [14]) is the crucial issue able to bring the experimental stage to operational results.This kind of representational problem is also studied in this paper where traditional methods for statistical text categorization are augmented via a systematic use of linguistic information. Again, as in [14], the addition of NLP capabilities also suggested a different application of existing methods in revised forms. This paper presents an extension of the Rocchio formula [11] as a feature weighting and selection model used as a basis for multilingual Information Extraction. It allows an effective exploitation of the available linguistic information that better emphasizes this latter with significant both data compression and accuracy. The results is an original statistical classifier fed with linguistic (i.e. more complex) features and characterized by the novel feature selection and weighting model. It outperforms existing systems by keeping most of their interesting properties (i.e. easy implementation, low complexity and high scalability). Extensive tests of the model suggest its application as a viable and robust tool for large scale text classification and filtering, as well as a basic module for more complex scenarios.
A dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for multimedia data over ATM networks
Authors: Han Zhou, C. H. Chang
Venue: Proceedings of the 1995 International Conference on Network Protocols (1995)

In this paper, a new dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme called Minimum Overflow Traffic Algorithm (MOTA) is proposed to assign the bandwidth for each traffic class in the hierarchical admission control structure in ATM network. The traffic types can be video, image, voice and so on. An Overflow traffic function Q is used to adjust the bandwidth assignment each time when a new connection is required. This paper uses mean virtual cell loss probability (MCLP) as the quality of service (QoS) for the performance measurement of the system. This novel approach can minimize the mean virtual cell loss probability of the system by optimizing Q when the delay constraint is satisfied and provide high throughput in multi-class traffic environment

Authors: I. Dubchack, E. Mayoraz, I. Muchnik
Venue:  (1995)

A method of quantitative comparison of two classifications rules applied to protein folding problem is presented. Classification of proteins based on sequence homology and based on amino acid composition were compared and analyzed according to this approach. The coefficient of correlation between these classification methods and the procedure of estimation of robustness of the coefficient are discussed.
A metric for evaluating class library interfaces and its application to library upgrades
Authors: K. Nakanishi, T. Arano, M. Imase
Venue: Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Maintenance (1995)

The proposed metric for evaluating class library interfaces measures the balance between generalization and specialization. The key idea of the proposed metric is the fact that polymorphic operations satisfy Zipf's law, which is known as an approximating equation for the frequency of words in natural language. The metric shows the global property of an entire class library, independent of size (making it possible to compare class libraries of different sizes and different versions), and to avoid the problems associated with using the depth of the inheritance graph as the metric. The results of application of this metric to two upgrades of the InterViews C++ class library agree with the results of manual analysis on three points: the metric value for the groups whose interfaces are generalized are larger than the metric value of other groups which are not as generalized, the metric value increases when a class interface is generalized by creating abstract classes, and the metric value decreases when new specialized-functional extension classes are added to the class library.
Visualization of controllable regions in real-time systems using a 3D-Julia set methodology
Authors: D. W. Russell, J. J. Alpigini
Venue: Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Information Visualisation (1997)

The paper introduces the possibility of the occurrence of chaos in any iterative system, and then explains how the familiar Julia set visualization can be programmed into a graphical tool. Stability on real-time systems occurs in regions of operation and is dependent on the simultaneous values of several parametric values. Because of this, it is very difficult to explore regions of instability in real, non-trivial systems. A variation of the Julia set methodology is presented, based on the corollary between the iterated fate of a function and the final value of a dynamic system. The resultant software is demonstrated on a model of a nonlinear control system, that has been reported to exhibit chaos in its feedback components-but still maintaining primary control. The paper concludes with a statement of how the visualization tool may be applied almost any (mathematically modeled) system in order to demonstrate how its dynamics can be investigated without the need for any other control analysis methods.
Assembly to High-Level Language Translation
Authors: Cristina Cifuentes, Doug Simon, Antoine Fraboulet
Venue: Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Maintenance (1998)

Translation of assembly code to high-level language code is of importance in the maintenance of legacy code, as well as in the areas of program understanding, porting, and recovery of code.We present techniques used in the asm2c translator, a SPARC assembly to C translator. The techniques involve data and control flow analyses. The data flow analysis eliminates machine dependencies from the assembly code and recovers high-level language expressions. The control flow analysis recovers control structure statements. Simple data type recovery is also done.The presented techniques are extensions and improvements on previously developed CISC techniques. The choice of intermediate representation allows for both RISC and CISC assembly code to be supported by the analyses.We tested asm2c against SPEC95 SPARC assembly programs generated by a C compiler. Results using both unoptimized and optimized assembly code are presented.
Outlier detection and localisation with wavelet based multifractal formalism
Authors: Zbigniew R. Struzik, Arno P.J.M. Siebes
Venue:  (2000)

We present a method of detecting and localising outliers in stochastic processes. The method checks the internal consistency of the scaling behaviour of the process within the paradigm of the multifractal spectrum. Deviation from the expected spectrum is interpreted as the potential presence of outliers. The detection part of the method is then supplemented by the localisation analysis part, using the local scaling properties of the time series. Localised outliers can then be removed one by one, with the possibility of dynamic verification of spectral properties. Both the multifractal spectrum formalism and the local scaling properties of the time series are implemented on the wavelet transform modulus maxima tree.
UML + ROOM as a Standard ADL?
Authors: B. Rumpe, M. Schoenmakers, A. Radermacher, A. Schürr
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (1999)

Designing a software system's architecture properly is one of the most important tasks of any software engineering project. Nevertheless there exists no common definition of the term \software architecture" and no standard software architecture description language (ADL). This paper discusses whether the standard OO modeling language UML is a standard ADL, explains some deficiencies if used for this purpose, and makes a proposal of how to eliminate these deficiencies.The proposal is based on the widely accepted idea that elements of the component-based OO modeling language ROOM should be integrated with UML. It explains why the idea of merging static structure diagrams of ROOM with behavior describing collaboration diagrams of UML is not sufficient and presents an additional approach for the integration problem.
Sorting and Searching Using Controlled Density Arrays
Authors: Robert C. Melville, David Gries
Venue:  (1978)

Algorithms like insertion sort run slowly because of costly shifting of array elements when a value is inserted or deleted. The amount of shifting, however, can be reduced by leaving gaps unused array locations into which new values can be inserted at regular intervals in the array. The proper arrangement of gaps is maintained by periodic adjustment. We demonstrate this technique with a stable comparison sort algorithm with expected time $O(N \log N)$, worst case time $O(N \sqrt{N})$, and space requirements 2N. We conjecture that, by using an interpolation search, the expected time can be reduced to $O(N \log \log N)$. By comparison, Quicksort takes expected time $O(N \log N)$, worst case time $O(N^{2})$ and space $N + \log N$. Second, we show that for any fixed $d \geq 2$ a table management algorithm can be constructed that can process a sequence of $N$ instructions chosen from among INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, and, MIN in worst case time $O(N^{1+1/d})$. Experiments with a version of the algorithms using $d=2$ show a marked improvement over balanced tree schemes for $N$ as large as several thousand.

LE-PAROLE: Italian Corpus Documentation
Authors: Sara Goggi, Lisa Biagini, Eugenio Picchi, Remo Bindi, Sergio Rossi, Rita Marinelli
Venue:  (1997)

The aim of the LE- PAROLE project for what concerns its corpus activity, was to produce an initial set of publicly accessible/available harmonised corpora for the main European languages. The corpora produced for each language are made up of 20 million words. They will become the nucleus of reference corpora for their languages since they are intended to provide full information about a large variety of text types in the language. The design and composition of these monolingual corpora comply with some general demands: Harmonization; Reuse of existing resources; Composition of the corpora; Reusability; Encoding; Morphosyntactic tagging. Each partner of the project had the possibility to design, mark up and tag the corpus using its own software package, considering that the compatibility and interchangeability of the various corpora is ensured by the adoption of common criteria for composition, encoding and linguistic tagging.
Shape and Motion from Image Streams: a Factorization Method Parts 2,8,10 Full Report on the Orthographic Case
Authors: Carlo Tomasi, Takeo Kanade
Venue:  (1992)

Inferring scene geometry and camera motion from a stream of images is possible in principle, but is an ill-conditioned problem when the objects are distant with respect to their size. We have developed a factorization method that can overcome this difficulty by recovering shape and motion with computing depth as an intermediate step. An image stream can be represented by the 2F * P measurement matrix of the image coordinates of P points tracked through F frames. We show that under orthographic projection this matrix is of rank 3. Using this observation, the factorization method uses the singular value decomposition technique to factor the measurement matrix into two matrices which represent object shape and camera motion respectively. The method which can also handle and obtain a full solution from a partially filled-in measurement matrix, which occurs when features appear and disappear in the image sequence due to occlusions or tracking failures. The method gives accurate results, and does not introduce smoothing in either shape or motion. We demonstrate this with a series of experiments on laboratory and outdoor image streams, with and without occlusions.
Advancing Quality of EDA Software
Authors: Giora Ben-Yaacov, Inc. Synopsys
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (2002)

In today's fast-paced electronics market, design engineers face incredible challenges to keep up with increasing technology complexity and time-to market pressures. Under these challenges, design engineers have been saying that quality issues with their EDA software tools cost them dearly in lost productivity and in missing tight deadlines. Therefore, improving the quality of EDA software tools and processes is essential to the designers' success.Our paper describes a proven methodology for implementation of an effective Quality Management System ("QMS") for driving quality improvements in the EDA industry. The paper provide real-life examples of how this Quality Management System contributed to improvements in the quality of many EDA software tools that were developed by a leading EDA tool supplier. Good level of Quality has been the outcome of having excellent people doing good work, using an effective Quality Management System.The positive results of the software process improvement effort demonstrated that "investing in quality does indeed pay". Effective implementation of the Quality Management System described in this paper has reduced software bugs and defects, produced improvements in meeting commitments, and contributed to the overall increase in customer satisfaction.
Direction Diffusion
Authors: Bei Tang, Guillermo Sapiro, Vicent Caselles
Venue: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision-Volume 2 - Volume 2 (1999)

In a number of disciplines, directional data provides a fundamental source of information. A novel framework for isotropic and anisotropic diffusion of directions is presented in this paper. The framework can be applied both to regularize directional data and to obtain multi-scale representations of it. The basic idea is to apply and extend results from the theory of harmonic maps in liquid crystals.This theory deals with the regularization of vectorial data, while satisfying the unit norm constraint of directional data. We show the corresponding variational and partial differential equations formulations for isotropic diffusion, obtained from an L2 norm, and edge preserving diffusion, obtained from an L1 norm.In contrast with previous approaches, the framework is valid for directions in any dimensions, supports non-smooth data, and gives both isotropic and anisotropic formulations. We present a number of theoretical results, open questions, and examples for gradient vectors, optical flow, and color images.
On absolutely universal embeddings
Authors: R. J. Blok, A. Pasini
Venue: Discrete Mathematics (2003)

It is well known that, given a point-line geometry Γ and a projective embedding ε:Γ → PG(V), if dim(V) equals the size of a generating set of Γ, then ε is not derived from any other embedding. Thus, if Γ admits an absolutely universal embedding, then ε is absolutely universal. In this paper, without assuming the existence of any absolutely universal embedding, we give sufficient conditions for an embedding ε as above to be absolutely universal.
Sensorless Manipulation Using Massively Parallel Microfabricated Actuator Arrays
Authors: Karl Bohringer, Bruce R Donald, Robert Mihailovich, Noel C. MacDonald
Venue:  (1994)

This paper investigates manipulation tasks with arrays of microelectromechanical structures (MEMS). We develop a geometric model for the mechanics of microactuators and a theory of sensorless, parallel manipulation, and we describe efficient algorithms for their evaluation. The theory of limit surfaces offers a purely geometric characterization of microscale contacts between actuator and moving object, which can be used to efficiently predict the motion of the object on an actuator array. It is shown how simple actuator control strategies can be used to uniquely align a part up to symmetry without sensor feedback. This theory is applicable to a wide range of microactuator arrays. Our actuators are oscillating structures of sigle-crystal silicon fabricated in a IC-compatible process. Calculations show that these actuators are strong enough to levitate and move e.g. a piece of paper.
Models For Interconnect Capacitance Extraction
Authors: Asim Husain
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (2001)

Commonly used numerical methods in capacitance extraction both for small and large circuit blocks are reviewed for a VLSI design. Boundary element based field solvers can effectively be used for small structures but can not be used for large structures because of large grid requirement. Field solvers based on random walk method are more appropriate for large structures but still they are quite slow in comparison to analytic capacitance models, which are generally applied for chip level extractions. Accounting for 3D fringing fields has become essential in analytic models for accurate extraction of current VLSI technologies. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.
