Two approaches to efficient open-world reasoning
Authors: Giuseppe De Giacomo, Hector Levesque
Venue: Logic-based artificial intelligence (2000)

We show how a simple but efficient evaluation procedure that is logically correct only for closed-world knowledge bases can nonetheless be used in certain contexts with open-world ones. We discuss two cases, one based on restricting queries to be in a certain normal form, and the other, arising in reasoning about actions, based on having sensing information at the right time so as to dynamically reduce open-word reasoning to closed-word reasoning.

Hardening Cisco Routers
Authors: Thomas Akin
Venue:  (2002)

:As a network administrator, auditor or architect, you know the importance of securing your network and finding security solutions you can implement quickly. This succinct book departs from other security literature by focusing exclusively on ways to secure Cisco routers, rather than the entire network. The rational is simple: If the router protecting a network is exposed to hackers, then so is the network behind it. Hardening Cisco Routers is a reference for protecting the protectors. Included are the following topics: The importance of router security and where routers fit into an overall security plan Different router configurations for various versions of Cisco's IOS Standard ways to access a Cisco router and the security implications of each Password and privilege levels in Cisco routers Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) control Router warning banner use (as recommended by the FBI) Unnecessary protocols and services commonly run on Cisco routers SNMP security Anti-spoofing Protocol security for RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, NTP, and BGP Logging violations Incident response Physical security Written by Thomas Akin, an experienced Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Cisco Academic Instructor (CCAI), the book is well organized, emphasizing practicality and a hands-on approach. At the end of each chapter, Akin includes a Checklist that summarizesthe hardening techniques discussed in the chapter. The Checklists help you double-check the configurations you have been instructed to make, and serve as quick references for future security procedures. Concise and to the point, Hardening Cisco Routers supplies you with all the tools necessary to turn a potential vulnerability into a strength. In an area that is otherwise poorly documented, this is the one book that will help you make your Cisco routers rock solid.
Fast Sorting Algorithms on a Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System
Authors: A. Datta, S. Soundaralakshmi, R. Owens
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

We present two fast algorithms for sorting on a linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system (LARPBS), one of the recently proposed parallel architectures based on optical buses. In our first algorithm, we sort N numbers in O(\log N\log\log N)worst-case time using N processors. In our second algorithm, we sort N numbers in O(\log\log N)^2) worst-case time using N^{1+\epsilon} processors, for any fixed \epsilon such that 0\epsilon1. Our algorithms are based on a novel deterministic sampling scheme for merging two sorted arrays of length N each in O(\log\log N) time on an LARPBS with N processors. To our knowledge, the previous best sorting algorithm on this architecture has a running time of O(\log N)^{2}) using N processors.

Interactive rendering of atmospheric scattering effects using graphics hardware
Authors: Yoshinori Dobashi, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Tomoyuki Nishita
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware (2002)

To create realistic images using computer graphics, an important element to consider is atmospheric scattering, that is, the phenomenon by which light is scattered by small particles in the air. This effect is the cause of the light beams produced by spotlights, shafts of light, foggy scenes, the bluish appearance of the earth's atmosphere, and so on. This paper proposes a fast method for rendering the atmospheric scattering effects based on actual physical phenomena. In the proposed method, look-up tables are prepared to store the intensities of the scattered light, and these are then used as textures. Realistic images are then created at interactive rates by making use of graphics hardware.

Accuracy, Resolution, and Stability Properties of a Modified Chebyshev Method
Authors: Jodi L. Mead, Rosemary A. Renaut
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

While the Chebyshev pseudospectral method provides a spectrally accurate method, integration of partial differential equations with spatial derivatives of order $M$ requires time steps of approximately $O(N^{-2M})$ for stable explicit solvers. Theoretically, time steps may be increased to $O(N^{-M})$ with the use of a parameter, $\alpha$-dependent mapped method introduced by Kosloff and Tal-Ezer [{\em J.\ Comput.\ Phys}., 104 (1993), pp. 457--469]. Our analysis focuses on the utilization of this method for reasonable practical choices for $N$, namely $N \lesssim 30$, as may be needed for two- or three-dimensional modeling. Results presented confirm that spectral accuracy with increasing $N$ is possible both for constant $\alpha$ (Hesthaven, Dinesen, and Lynov [{\em J.\ Comput.\ Phys}., 155 (1999), pp. 287--306]) and for $\alpha$ scaled with $N$, $\alpha$ sufficiently different from $1$ (Don and Solomonoff [{\em SIAM J.\ Sci.\ Comput}., 18 (1997), pp. 1040--1055]). Theoretical bounds, however, show that any realistic choice for $\alpha$, in which both resolution and accuracy considerations are imposed, permits no more than a doubling of the time step for a stable explicit integrator in time, much less than the $O(N)$ improvement claimed by Kosloff and Tal-Ezer. On the other hand, by choosing $\alpha$ carefully, it is possible to improve on the resolution of the Chebyshev method; in particular, one may achieve satisfactory resolution with fewer than $\pi$ points per wavelength. Moreover, this improvement is noted not only for waves with the minimal resolution but also for waves sampled up to about $8$ points per wavelength. Our conclusions are verified by calculation of phase and amplitude errors for numerical solutions of first and second order one-dimensional wave equations. Specifically, while $\alpha$ can be chosen such that the mapped method improves the accuracy and resolution of the Chebyshev method, for practical choices of $N$, it is not possible to achieve both single precision accuracy and gain the advantage of an $O(N^{-M})$ time step.

On the accuracy of MANET simulators
Authors: David Cavin, Yoav Sasson, André Schiper
Venue: Proceedings of the second ACM international workshop on Principles of mobile computing (2002)

The deployment of wireless applications or protocols in the context of Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs), often requires to step through a simulation phase. For the results of the simulation to be meaningful, it is important that the model on which is based the simulator matches as closely as possible the reality. In this paper we present the simulation results of a straightforward algorithm using several popular simulators (OPNET Modeler, NS-2, GloMoSim). The results tend to show that significant divergences exist between the simulators. This can be explained partly by the mismatching of the modelisation of each simulator and also by the different levels of detail provided to implement and configure the simulated scenarios.
A label-switching packet forwarding architecture for multi-hop wireless LANs
Authors: Arup Acharya, Archan Misra, Sorav Bansal
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Wireless mobile multimedia (2002)

A router in wired network typically requires multiple network interfaces to act as a router or a forwarding node. In an ad-hoc multi-hop wireless network on the other hand, any node with a wireless network interface card can operate as a router or a forwarding node, since it can receive a packet from a neighboring node, do a route lookup based on the packet's destination IP address, and then transmit the packet to another neighboring node using the same wireless interface. This paper investigates a combined medium access and next-hop address lookup based on fixed length labels (instead of IP addresses), which allows the entire packet forwarding operation to be executed within the wireless NIC without the intervention of the host protocol stack. Medium access schemes to date, such as IEEE 802.11, have been designed implicitly for either receiving or transmitting a packet, but not for a forwarding operation, i.e. receiving a packet from an upstream node and then immediately transmitting the packet to a downstream node as an atomic channel access operation. This paper proposes a MAC protocol for packet forwarding in multi-hop wireless networks. The proposed protocol builds on the IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC using RTS/CTS and uses MPLS like labels in the control packets (RTS/CTS) to allow the forwarding node to determine the next hop node while contending for the channel. The throughput of this protocol is compared with 802.11 DCF MAC through simulation.
Keynote address: the HAL 9000 computer and the vision of 2001: a space odyssey
Authors: David G. Stork
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

"I am a HAL 9000 computer production number 3. I became operational at the HAL Laboratories in Urbana, Illinois on January 12, 1997&hellip;"--Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968 novel)It's 2001: Where's HAL?2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 epic film about space exploration and the evolution of intelligence, was the most carefully researched and scientifically precise feature film ever made. Now, in its namesake year, we can compare the film's computer science "visions" with current technological fact -- in particular those related to its central character, the HAL 9000 computer, which could speak, reason, see, play chess, plan and express emotions. In some domains reality has surpassed the vision in the film: computer chess, computer hardware, and graphics. In numerous others, reality has fallen far short: computer speech, language, vision, lipreading, planning, and common sense. The film missed some trends entirely: the film showed no laptops or PDAs and HAL as large as a school bus but in reality computers instead got small. As such, the film provides a remarkable perspective on the sweep of developments in the modern era of computer technology.This non-technical talk is profusely illustrated with clips from 2001 and current research and sheds new light on key moments of the film. You will never see the film the same way again.
Substructural Logics SLC
Authors: Kosta Dosen
Venue:  (1994)

:The new area of logic and computation is now undergoing rapid development. This has affected the social pattern of research in the area. A new topic may rise very quickly with a significant body of research around it. The community, however, cannot wait the traditional two years for a book to appear. This has given greater importance to thematic collections of papers, centred around a topic and addressing it from several points of view, usually as a result of a workshop, summer school, or just a scientific initiative. Such a collection may not be as coherent as a book by one or two authors yet it is more focused than a collection of key papers on a certain topic. It is best thought of as a thematic collection, a study in the area of logic and computation. The new series Studies in Logic and Computation is intended to provide a home for such thematic collections. Substructural logics are nonclassical logics, which arose in response to problems in foundations of mathematics and logic, theoretical computer science, mathematical linguistics, and category theory. They include intuitionistic logic, relevant logic, BCK logic, linear logic, and Lambek's calculus of syntactic categories. Substructural logics differ from classical logics, and from each other, in their presuppositions about Gentzen's structural rules, although their presuppositions about the deductive role of logical constants are invariant. Substructural logics have been a subject of study for logicians during the last sixty years. Specialists have often worked in isolation, however, largely unaware of the contributions of others. This book brings together new papers by some of the most eminent authorities in these various traditions to produce a unified view of substructural logics.

The Reactive Keyboard
Authors: John J. Darragh, Ian H. Witten
Venue:  (1992)

:Extremely slow communication is a daily reality for many people with different forms of physical disability. Modern computer interfaces can be designed to enhance expressive communication. This is accomplished first by supplying facilities to tailor them to each particular user's residual physical disabilities, and second by automatically supplying much of the redundancy inherent in natural communication. In the first part of this book a functional architecture for communication aids is discussed and the idea of automatically supplying the intrinsic redundancy contained in natural communication is explained. The distinctions between adaptive and non-adaptive models of communication are shown and details are given of working predictive text generation systems. One such system is the Reactive Keyboard, and in the second part of the book this is described. It greatly speeds communication by predicting the user's next response before it is made, although it does not always predict correctly. The guesses are made on the basis of previous answers and thus can conform to whatever kind of text is entered. Versions of the Reactive Keyboard exist for Unix, IBM PC, and Macintosh systems, free of charge, and can be tailored to individual user needs. This book will be of great value to all involved in helping disabled users interact with computers.
