Well-defined intended uses: an explicit requirement for accreditation of modeling and simulation applications
Authors: Osman Balci, William F. Ormsby
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

A modeling and simulation (M&S) application is built for a specific purpose and its acceptability assessment is carried out with respect to that purpose. The accreditation decision for an M&S application is also made with respect to that purpose. The purpose is commonly expressed in terms of "intended uses." The quality of expressing the intended uses significantly affects the quality of the acceptability assessment as well as the quality of making the accreditation decision. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance in proper definition of the intended uses.
Predicate-Transformation Semantics with Recursion and Unbounded Choice
Authors: Wim H. Hesselink
Venue:  (1992)

:Predicate transformation semantics is the best specification method for the development of correct and well-structured computer programs. This book is a complete account of the predicate transformation calculus semantics of sequential programs, including repetitions, recursive procedures, computational induction, and unbounded nondeterminacy. The author develops their theory to a greater depth than has been achieved before, and describes it in a way that makes it readily compatible with programming methodology. He gives proofs of the programming rules for partial and total correctness of repetitions and recursive procedures, supplies new rules for proving incorrectness, and a stronger rule for proving that two programs satisfy the same specifications. Finally, the semantics are extended so that non-terminating programs can be specified as well.

Deriving a concise description of non-self patterns in an aritificial immune system
Authors: Sławomir T. Wierzchoń
Venue: New learning paradigms in soft computing (2002)

From a computer science perspective the immune system is a complex, self organizing and highly distributed system that has no centralized control and uses learning and memory when solving particular tasks. The learning process does not require negative examples and the acquired knowledge is represented in explicit form. The main actors of the immune systems are lymphocytes equipped with a set of receptors recognizing intruders, or pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, etc.). Because the receptors on a surface of a single lymphocyte are of identical structure, and they recognize only a narrow class of pathogens, we can treat them as a single receptor from an abstract point of view. In this paper we focus on a binary AIS in which all the information is represented by the bit string, and as the match rule we take the k-contiguous bits rule: two strings match if they have the same bits in at least k contiguous positions. With such a method of receptor activation we study the number of strings recognized by a single receptor is proposed, and next we investigate how this number decreases when the size of the repertoire increases. Second, we give a method enabling to determine the number of strings which cannot be detected by an "ideal" repertoire in the presence of a set of self strings (i.e. strings representing normal behavior of a system). These results are of importance when constructing an optimal receptors repertoire.

A pragmatic alternative to undetachable signatures
Authors: Niklas Borselius, Chris J. Mitchell, Aaron Wilson
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2002)

A 'pragmatic' alternative to undetachable signatures is proposed. Undetachable signatures were introduced by Sander and Tschudin, [4], as a means of giving a mobile agent the means to sign a message on behalf of a user, without endangering the user's private key. The alternative discussed in this paper involves the use of conventional signatures and public key certificates.
Active shields: a new approach to shielding global wires
Authors: Himanshu Kaul, Dennis Sylvester, David Blaauw
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

A new shielding scheme, active shielding, is proposed for reducing delays on interconnects. As opposed to conventional (passive) shielding, the active shielding approach helps to speed up signal propagation on a wire by ensuring in-phase switching of adjacent nets. Results show that the active shielding scheme improves performance by up to 16% compared to passive shields and up to 29% compared to unshielded wires. When signal slopes at the end of the line are compared, savings of up to 38% and 27% can be achieved when compared to passive shields and unshielded wires, respectively.
The global impact of eBooks on ePublishing
Authors: Harold Henke
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

The advent of eBooks and electronic publishing is changing not only the North American publishing industry but Europe as well. In Europe, many publishers are embracing the ePublishing industry as well as companies which have emerged to develop tools and web sites to develop and sell eBooks, not only in the European Union but in North America.In Asia, the electronic book industry is fueled by two industries: manufacturers who are developing hardware devices to read eBooks and content providers who are publishing specific formats.In developing nations, the potential of eBooks is equivalent to the impact of wireless phone technology on communications.This paper is organized into these sections which support the premise that eBooks will impact publishing, world-wide: 1) Overview; 2) Technology; 3) Publishing Models; 4) Books On Demand; and 5) World Libraries. Throughout this paper, the term eBooks is used to represent eBooks.Portions of this presentation were excerpted from electronic Books and ePublishing, Springer-Verlag London, 2001, ISBN 1-85233-435-5.

WoSEF: workshop on standard exchange format
Authors: Susan Elliot Sim, Rainer Koschke
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

A workshop was held at ICSE 2000 in Limerick, Ireland to further efforts in the development of a standard exchange format (SEF) for data extracted from and about source code. WoSEF (Workshop on Standard Exchange Format) brought together people with expertise in a variety of formats, such as RSF, TA, GraX, FAMIX, XML, and XMI, from across the software engineering discipline. We had five sessions consisting of a presentation and discussion period and a working session with three subgroups. The five sessions were: 1) Survey and Overview, 2) Language-level schemas and APIs, 3) High-level schemas, 4) MOF/XMI/UML and CDIF, and 5) Meta schemas and Typed Graphs. During that time we reviewed previous work and debated a number of important issues. This report includes descriptions of the presentations made during these sessions. The main result of the workshop is the agreement of the majority of participants to work on refining GXL (Graph eXchange Language) to be the SEF. GXL is an XML-based notation that uses attributed, typed graphs as a conceptual data model. It is currently a work in progress with contributors from reverse engineering and graph transformation communities in multiple countries. There is a great deal of work to be done to finalise the syntax and to establish reference models for schemas. Anyone interested is welcome to join the effort and instructions on how to get involved are found at the end of the workshop report. Three papers from the workshop have been reprinted here to promote reflection and encourage participation in the work to develop an SEF.

Bus guardians: an effective solution for online detection and correction of faults affecting system-on-chip buses
Authors: Marcello Lajolo
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

This paper presents a methodology for designing system-on-chip (SOC) interconnection architectures providing a high level of protection form crosstalk effects. An event driven simulator enriched with fault injection capabilities is exploited to evaluate the dependability level of the system being designed. The simulation environment supports several bus coding protocols and, thus, designers can easily evaluate different design alternatives. To enhance the dependability level of the interconnection architecture, we propose a distributed bus guardian scheme, where dedicated hardware modules monitor the integrity of the information transmitted over the bus and provide error correction mechanisms.

Delaunay based shape reconstruction from large data
Authors: Tamal K. Dey, Joachim Giesen, James Hudson
Venue: Proceedings of the IEEE 2001 symposium on parallel and large-data visualization and graphics (2001)

Surface reconstruction provides a powerful paradigm for modeling shapes from samples. For point cloud data with only geometric coordinates as input, Delaunay based surface reconstruction algorithms have been shown to be quite effective both in theory and practice. However, a major complaint against Delaunay based methods is that they are slow and cannot handle large data. We extend the COCONE algorithm to handle supersize data. This is the first reported Delaunay based surface reconstruction algorithm that can handle data containing more than a million sample points on a modest machine.

Refined single trunk tree: a rectilinear steiner tree generator for interconnect prediction
Authors: Hongyu Chen, Changge Qiao, Feng Zhou, Chung-Kuan Cheng
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction (2002)

We devised an efficient and accurate estimation of the rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (SMT), which is an essential building block for on-line and posteriori interconnect prediction. We proposed a new rectilinear Steiner tree generator, Refined Single Trunk Tree (RST-T). Compared with traditional minimal spanning tree based Steiner tree heuristics, RST-T has several advantages. 1. The algorithm runs very fast. Experiments show that RST-T algorithm runs 50 times faster than Prim's minimum spanning tree algorithm for 10-pin nets. 2. The RST-T provides excellent wire length estimation of the optimal solutions. For the nets of no more than 10 pins, the average wire length of RST-T is within 6 percent of the optimal solutions. Actually, for the nets with five or less pins, the wire length of RST-T is optimal. 3. The topology of RST-T remains stable when pin locations deviate. Experiments show that the topologies of routing trees produced by the proposed algorithm is much more stable than the minimum spanning tree and iterative 1-Steiner heuristics.

Sparse resultant of composed polynomials I* mixed-unmixed case
Authors: Hoon Hong, Manfred Minimair
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

The main question of this paper is: What happens to sparse resultants under composition? More precisely, let f1,&hellip;, fnbe homogeneous sparse polynomials in the variables y1,&hellip;, yn and g1,&hellip;, gn be homogeneous sparse polynomials in the variables x1,&hellip;,xn. Let fi&omicron;(g1,&hellip;,gn) be the sparse homogeneous polynomial obtained from fi by replacing yj by gj. Naturally a question arises: Is the sparse resultant of f1&omicron;(g1,&hellip;,gn),&hellip;,f n(g1,&hellip;,gn) in any way related to the (sparse) resultants of f1,&hellip;,fn and g1,&hellip;,gn? The main contribution of this paper is to provide an answer for the case when g1,&hellip;,gn are unmixed, namely, Resc1,&hellip;,cn (f1 &omicron; (g1,&hellip;,gn),&hellip;,fn &omicron; (g1,&hellip;,gn)) = Resd1,&hellip;,dn (f1,&hellip;,fn)Vol(Q)ResB(g1) where Resd1,&hellip;,dn stands for the dense (Macaulay) resultant with respect to the total degrees di of the fi's, B stands for the unmixed sparse resultant with respect to the support B of the gj's,ResC1,&hellip;,Cn stands for the mixed sparse resultant with respect to the naturally induced supports Ci of the fi &omicron;(g1,&hellip;,gn)'s, and Vol(Q) for the normalized volume of the Newton polytope of the gj. The above expression can be applied to compute sparse resultants of composed polynomials with improved efficience.
