On object orientation as a paradigm for general purpose distributed operating systems
Authors: Vinny Cahill, Seán Baker, Brendan Tangney, Chris Horn, Neville Harris
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

In the Amadeus project we have been considering the construction of a general purpose distributed support environment for object oriented programming. In this paper we tackle a number of key areas whose interaction must be addressed in the design of such a general purpose object support system: 1) integration of support for (object oriented) database systems; 2) integration of security mechanisms suitable for objects; and 3) operating system support to allow object oriented applications exploit the inherent parallelism of the underlying distributed environment.
Polynomial-time approximation schemes for geometric min-sum median clustering
Authors: Rafail Ostrovsky, Yuval Rabani
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

The Johnson--Lindenstrauss lemma states that n points in a high-dimensional Hilbert space can be embedded with small distortion of the distances into an O(log n) dimensional space by applying a random linear transformation. We show that similar (though weaker) properties hold for certain random linear transformations over the Hamming cube. We use these transformations to solve NP-hard clustering problems in the cube as well as in geometric settings.More specifically, we address the following clustering problem. Given n points in a larger set (e.g., ℝd) endowed with a distance function (e.g., L2 distance), we would like to partition the data set into k disjoint clusters, each with a "cluster center," so as to minimize the sum over all data points of the distance between the point and the center of the cluster containing the point. The problem is provably NP-hard in some high-dimensional geometric settings, even for k = 2. We give polynomial-time approximation schemes for this problem in several settings, including the binary cube {0,1}d with Hamming distance, and ℝd either with L1 distance, or with L2 distance, or with the square of L2 distance. In all these settings, the best previous results were constant factor approximation guarantees.We note that our problem is similar in flavor to the k-median problem (and the related facility location problem), which has been considered in graph-theoretic and fixed dimensional geometric settings, where it becomes hard when k is part of the input. In contrast, we study the problem when k is fixed, but the dimension is part of the input.

Strictness, totality, and non-standard-type inference
Authors: Mario Coppo, Ferruccio Damiani, Paola Giannini
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In this paper we present two non-standard-type inference systems for conjunctive strictness and totality analyses of higher-order-typed functional programs and prove completeness results for both the strictness and the totality-type entailment relations. We also study the interactions between strictness and totality analyses, showing that the information obtainable by a system that combines the two analyses, even though more refined than the information given by the two separate systems, cannot be effectively used. A main feature of our approach is that all the results are proved by relying directly on the operational semantics of the programming language considered. This leads to a rather direct presentation which involves relatively little mathematical overhead. Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
The view from the trenches: issues in the ontology of restricted domains
Authors: David D. McDonald
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

We consider the impact of strict processing limitations on the design of an ontology for information extraction from newswire texts. We conclude that requiring online, real-time processing leads to a particular set of answers to fundamental issues of relation size and the choice of primary categories. We show how to satisfy these requirements by using relational categories directly during analysis and by using a reified lattice of their partial saturations that is annotated with the linguistic constructs used to realize them.

High performance first principles method for complex magnetic properties
Authors: B. Ujfalussy, Xindong Wang, Xiaoguang Zhang, D. M. C. Nicholson, W. A. Shelton, G. M. Stocks, A. Canning, Yang Wang, B. L. Gyorffy
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

The understanding of metallic magnetism is of fundamental importance for a wide range of technological applications ranging from thin film disc drive read heads to bulk magnets used in motors and power generation. In this submission for the Gordon Bell Prize we use the power of massively parallel processing (MPP) computers to perform first principles calculations of large system models of non-equilibrium magnetic states in metallic magnets. The calculations are based on a new constrained local moment (CLM) model that places the recently proposed Spin-Dynamics of Antropov et al. [1] on firm theoretical foundations. The equations of constrained local spin density approximation (constrained LSDA) are solved using the massively parallel locally self-consistent multiple scattering (LSMS) method[3] extended to treat general non-collinear arrangements of the magnetic moments [4]. A general algorithm has been developed for self-consistently finding the constraining fields which are introduced into LSDA in order to maintain a prescribed magnetic moment orientation configuration. The existence of CLM states is demonstrated for 1024 atom per unit cell models of Iron above its Curie temperature. The constrained LSMS method we have developed exploits the locality in the physics of the problem to produce an algorithm that has only local and limited communications on parallel computers leading to very good scale-up to large processor counts and linear scaling of the number of operations with the number of atoms in the system. The computationally intensive step of inversion of a dense complex matrix is largely reduced to matrix-matrix multiplies which are implemented in BLAS. Throughout the code attention is paid to minimizing both the total operation count and total execution time, with primacy given to the latter. Full 64-bit arithmetic is used throughout. The code shows near linear scale-up to 1024-processing elements (PE) and attains a performance of 657 Gflops on a Cray T3E1200 LC1024 at a US Government site. Performance figures of 276 Gflops and 329 Gflops have also been obtained on T3E900 and T3E1200 LC512 machines at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and Cray Research respectively. All performance figures include necessary I/O.
Selection diversity forwarding in a multihop packet radio network with fading channel and capture
Authors: Peter Larsson
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

Recent and increased interest of wireless mobile ad hoc networking motivates detailed examination of routing schemes specifically targeted for the demanding constraints that an unreliable, time varying and braodcast like wireless medium imposes. Incorporation and exploitation of radio characteristics are fundamental keys to successful and near optimal operation of routing schemes in a wireless environment. In this paper, for warding methods for wireless mobile multihop networking in Rayleigh fading and non-fading channels are examined. An adaptive forwarding scheme denoted Selection Diversity Forwarding (SDF) is introduced and compared with two classical forwarding methods. It is shown that SDF presents significant peformance improvements. In particular and in constrast to the reference methods NFP and MFR, the performance of SDF is enhanced under fading channel conditions. It is found that local path adaptation has potential to perform better than routing approaches along a single path

Fast causal multicast
Authors: Pat Stephenson, Kenneth Birman
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop (1990)

We begin by outlining a new protocol that efficiently implements a reliable, causally ordered multicast primitive and is easily extended into a totally ordered one. Since measurements show that the dominant cost of this protocol is message transport, the design of a lower level multicast transport protocol is discussed. The overall scheme scales with bounded overhead. Our first conclusion is that systems such as ISIS can achieve performance competitive with the best existing multicast facilities - a finding contradicting the widespread concern that fault-tolerance may be unacceptably costly. Our second conclusion is that the paradigm of multicast transport is extremely useful for constructing fault-tolerant applications. Our final conclusion is that the framework for fault-tolerant programming provided by ISIS is very useful in the design and construction of these extensions to the basic system.

He shows the rise of inequality, polarization, and social exclusion throughout the world, focusing on Africa, on urban poverty, and on children's plight. He documents the formation of a global criminal economy that deeply affects economies and politics in many countries. He analyzes the political and cultural foundations of the emergence of the Asian Pacific as the most dynamic region in the global economy. And he reflects on the contradictions of European unfication, proposing the concept of the network state.In the general conclusion of the trilogy, included in this volume, Castells draws together the threads of his arguments and his findings, presenting a systematic interpretation of our world in this end of millennium.
Cycle & save computer system
Authors: Sylvia C. Colvin, Gerry D. Stiers
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

In June of 1981 the Tennessee Valley Authority began operation of its first large-scale load management program. This program, called Cycle & Save, manages electrical demand in residences and small commercial and industrial establishments by utilizing direct radio control of air-conditioners and water heaters.TVA obtained the right to interrupt service during certain hours of the day to the air-conditioners and water heaters of customers who volunteered for the program. As TVA's cost of operation rises above a predetermined economic threshold during peak demand hours, electrical service is temporarily curtailed to the water heaters and is reduced by up to 25 percent to air-conditioners.The scheduling of this new load management program's operation was controlled by six small computers located in five different cities in the TVA service area. The computers were part of an original equipment purchase from Motorola, Inc., for radio receivers, FM transmission equipment, and control computers with specially designed software.This software and hardware system is the subject of this paper. It will describe how the computers are used to optimize the benefits of load management of end-use devices to the TVA power system.
LIKIMS: a simulation program for IMS
Authors: Nancy C. Gude
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

This report describes a simulator (LIKIMS) for IBM's Data Base Management System, IMS/VS. This simulator will load to and retrieve from a hierarchical sequential (HSAM) data base. The commands to accomplish this appear to function as their counterparts in IMS/VS; however, the actual implementation techniques for each command may differ from that of IMS/VS. Even though the simulator currently offers a subset of the features available in IMS/VS, it is modular in structure to allow other features to be added as required. Finally, the simulator is written in a combination of IBM SYSTEM/370 BAL and PL/I and executes in a batch environment.
