Bicriterion Single Machine Scheduling with Resource Dependent Processing Times
Authors: T. C. Edwin Cheng, Adam Janiak, Mikhail Y. Kovalyov
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

A bicriterion problem of scheduling jobs on a single machine is studied. The processing time of each job is a linear decreasing function of the amount of a common discrete resource allocated to the job. A solution is specified by a sequence of the jobs and a resource allocation. The quality of a solution is measured by two criteria, F1 and F2. The first criterion is the maximal or total (weighted) resource consumption, and the second criterion is a regular scheduling criterion depending on the job completion times. Both criteria have to be minimized. General schemes for the construction of the Pareto set and the Pareto set $\epsilon$-approximation are presented. Computational complexities of problems to minimize F1 subject to F_2\le K$ and to minimize F2 subject to $F_1\le K$, where K is any number, are studied for various functions F1 and F2. Algorithms for solving these problems and for the construction of the Pareto set and the Pareto set $\epsilon$-approximation for the corresponding bicriterion problems are presented.
First-Order System Least Squares (FOSLS) for Spatial Linear Elasticity: Pure Traction
Authors: Sang Dong Kim, Thomas A. Manteuffel, Stephen F. McCormick
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

This paper develops first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) functionals for solving the pure traction problem in three-dimensional linear elasticity. It is a direct extension of an earlier paper on planar elasticity [Z. Cai, T. A. Manteuffel, S. F. McCormick, and S. V. Parter, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 35 (1998), pp. 320--335]. Two functionals are developed, one involving L2 norms of the first-order system and the other involving dual norms. These functionals are shown to be equivalent to appropriate product Sobolev norms, uniformly in the Poisson ratio. These results imply that standard finite element discretization and iterative solver techniques can be applied to obtain performance that is optimal---even as the material nears the incompressible limit.

Approximating the Throughput of Multiple Machines in Real-Time Scheduling
Authors: Amotz Bar-Noy, Sudipto Guha
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We consider the following fundamental scheduling problem. The input to the problem consists of n jobs and k machines. Each of the jobs is associated with a release time, a deadline, a weight, and a processing time on each of the machines. The goal is to find a nonpreemptive schedule that maximizes the weight of jobs that meet their respective deadlines. We give constant factor approximation algorithms for four variants of the problem, depending on the type of the machines (identical vs. unrelated) and the weight of the jobs (identical vs. arbitrary). All these variants are known to be NP-hard, and the two variants involving unrelated machines are also MAX-SNP hard. The specific results obtained are as follows: For identical job weights and unrelated machines: a greedy $2$-approximation algorithm. For identical job weights and k identical machines: the same greedy algorithm achieves a tight $\frac{(1+1/k)^k}{(1+1/k)^k-1}$ approximation factor. For arbitrary job weights and a single machine: an LP formulation achieves a 2-approximation for polynomially bounded integral input and a 3-approximation for arbitrary input. For unrelated machines, the factors are 3 and 4, respectively. For arbitrary job weights and k identical machines: the LP-based algorithm applied repeatedly achieves a $\frac{(1+1/k)^k}{(1+1/k)^k-1}$ approximation factor for polynomially bounded integral input and a $\frac{(1+1/2k)^k}{(1+1/2k)^k-1}$ approximation factor for arbitrary input. For arbitrary job weights and unrelated machines: a combinatorial $(3+2\sqrt{2} \approx 5.828)$-approximation algorithm.
Relative Flatness and Flatness of Implicit Systems
Authors: Paulo SérgioPereira da
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In this work we define the concept of relative flatness of a system with respect to a subsystem. The subsystem associated to a set of outputs of a system is constructed, and called here output subsystem. It is shown that the relative flatness of a system with respect to the output subsystem implies the flatness of the corresponding implicit system obtained by setting these outputs to zero. A sufficient condition of relative flatness based on a relative derived flag is presented. Based on these results, a sufficient condition for the flatness of a class of nonlinear implicit systems is obtained.

Workplace surveillance, privacy and distributive justice
Authors: Lucas D. Introna
Venue: ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society (2000)

Modern technologies are providing unprecedented opportunities for surveillance. In the workplace surveillance technology is being built into the very infrastructure of work. Can the employee legitimately resist this increasingly pervasive net of surveillance? The employers argue that workplace surveillance is essential for security, safety, and productivity in increasingly competitive markets. They argue that they have a right to ensure that they 'get what they pay for', furthermore, that the workplace is a place of 'work' which by its very definition excludes the 'personal' dimension at the core of all privacy claims. Legal developments, especially in the USA, seem to favour such an interpretation. The individual's call for workplace privacy seems illegitimate in a context where the 'personal' is almost excluded by default. In this paper I want to argue that the private/public distinction is not useful in the context of workplace surveillance since it always seems possible to argue that the workplace is always and only 'public'---thereby leaving the employee without resources to defend their claim. Such a position belies the fact that the fundamental claim of workplace privacy is not a claim for some personal space as such but rather a claim for the protection against the inherently political interests in the 'gaze' of the employer. Furthermore, that it is probably impossible, in practice, to separate the public from the private in the flow of everyday work. Thus, it seems that one needs to develop another approach to think through the issues at stake. I will argue that the distribution of privacy rights and transparency (surveillance) rights is rather a matter of organisational justice. I will suggest that we may use theories of justice---in particular the work of Rawls---to develop a framework of distributive justice for distributing privacy and transparency between the collective and the individual in a way that is fair. I will contend that such an approach will provide the employee with resources to defend their legitimate claim to workplace privacy.

The future of web search
Authors: Bruce Croft
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

The battle for pre-eminence between search engines seems to have reached a point where a few systems and techniques dominate the market. As more careful evaluations have been carried out, our level of understanding of which techniques work for the Web environment has increased significantly. Does this mean that researchers should declare victory and move on to other areas? In fact, substantial opportunities for improving the performance of Web search still exist, and research in this field continues to expand rather than shrink. Areas such as question answering, the Semantic Web, the Hidden Web, cross-lingual search, personalized search, and peer-to-peer search are generating considerable interest. This talk will describe some of this research and discuss its potential.
