Element-Free AMGe: General Algorithms for Computing Interpolation Weights in AMG
Authors: Van Emden Henson, Panayot S. Vassilevski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We propose a new general algorithm for constructing interpolation weights in algebraic multigrid (AMG). It exploits a proper extension mapping outside a neighborhood about a fine degree of freedom (dof) to be interpolated. The extension mapping provides boundary values (based on the coarse dofs used to perform the interpolation) at the boundary of the neighborhood. The interpolation value is then obtained by matrix dependent harmonic extension of the boundary values into the interior of the neighborhood.We describe the method, present examples of useful extension operators, provide a two-grid analysis of model problems, and, by way of numerical experiments, demonstrate the successful application of the method to discretized elliptic problems.

Dynamic Schedule for Effective On-Line Connection Pruning
Authors: Santiago Rementeria
Venue: Neural Processing Letters (2001)

In this letter we investigate a neural network simplification schedule that takes place at the same time as regular weight adjustment and with variable pruning strength. The underlying connection model incorporates an explicit trainable factor modulating the classical synaptic weight. Learning in this context results in a reduced size structure with enhanced generalization ability. The effectiveness of the method is empirically explored in an artificial application and a classical real-world benchmark problem.
Adapting Tomasulo's algorithm for bytecode folding based Java processors
Authors: M. Watheq El-Kharashi, Fayez Elguibaly, Kin F. Li
Venue: ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News (2001)

A novel processor architecture for hardware execution of Java bytecodes is presented. Stack dependency is resolved by the use of a hardware bytecode folding algorithm coupled with Tomasulo's scheduling algorithm. In this paper, we present a framework for adapting Tomasulo's algorithm for bytecode folding based Java processors. We discuss a set of architectural features that are tailored for Java execution as well as for general-purpose Java-independent codes. A comprehensive example is included to illustrate these features graphically.
A real-time assistive computer interface for users with motor disabilities
Authors: A. B. Barreto, S. D. Scargle, M Adjouadi
Venue: Issue 64 (June 1999) (1999)

This study introduces the design of an integrated assistive real-time system developed as an alternate input device to computers that can be used by individuals with severe motor disabilities. An assistive technology device as defined by the Assistive Technology Act of 1998 is "any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities". The proposed real-time system design utilizes electromyographic (EMG) biosignals from cranial muscles and electroencephalographic (EEG) biosignals from the cerebrum's occipital lobe, which are transformed into controls for two-dimensional (2-D) cursor movement, the Left-Click (Enter) command, and an ON/OFF switch for the cursor-control functions. This HCI system classifies biosignals into "mouse" functions by applying amplitude thresholds and performing power spectral density (PSD) estimations on discrete windows of data, Spectral power summations are aggregated over several frequency bands between 8 and 500 Hz and then compared to produce the correct classification. The result is an affordable DSP-based system that, when combined with an on-screen keyboard, enables the user to fully operate a computer without using any extremities.

A framework for the transmission of streaming media to mobile devices
Authors: Kevin Curran, Gerard Parr
Venue: International Journal of Network Management (2002)

One interesting problem is the delay imposed upon mobile receivers when switching between wireless cells. We provide a solution to this in the form of an extension of Mobile IP's handoff algorithm. Our solution involves the exploitation of mobility prediction to predict a mobile terminal's future location based on its previous history (i.e. the last cell that it has been in) and for the media stream to be already present and cached by next cells base station ready for receiving by the mobile device.

Automating physical database design in a parallel database
Authors: Jun Rao, Chun Zhang, Nimrod Megiddo, Guy Lohman
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

Physical database design is important for query performance in a shared-nothing parallel database system, in which data is horizontally partitioned among multiple independent nodes. We seek to automate the process of data partitioning. Given a workload of SQL statements, we seek to determine automatically how to partition the base data across multiple nodes to achieve overall optimal (or close to optimal) performance for that workload. Previous attempts use heuristic rules to make those decisions. These approaches fail to consider all of the interdependent aspects of query performance typically modeled by today's sophisticated query optimizers.We present a comprehensive solution to the problem that has been tightly integrated with the optimizer of a commercial shared-nothing parallel database system. Our approach uses the query optimizer itself both to recommend candidate partitions for each table that will benefit each query in the workload, and to evaluate various combinations of these candidates. We compare a rank-based enumeration method with a random-based one. Our experimental results show that the former is more effective.

The character, functions, and styles of instant messaging in the workplace
Authors: Ellen Isaacs, Alan Walendowski, Steve Whittaker, Diane J. Schiano, Candace Kamm
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

Current perceptions of Instant Messaging (IM) use are based primarily on self-report studies. We logged thousands of (mostly) workplace IM conversations and evaluated their conversational characteristics and functions. Contrary to prior research, we found that the primary use of workplace IM was for complex work discussions. Only 28% of conversations were simple, single-purpose interactions and only 31% were about scheduling or coordination. Moreover, people rarely switched from IM to another medium when the conversation got complex. We found evidence of two distinct styles of use. Heavy IM users and frequent IM partners mainly used it to work together: to discuss a broad range of topics via many fast-paced interactions per day, each with many short turns and much threading and multitasking. Light users and infrequent pairs mainly used IM to coordinate: for scheduling, via fewer conversations per day that were shorter, slower-paced with less threading and multitasking.
A method of data transfer control during handoffs in mobile-IP based multimedia networks
Authors: P. Venkataram, R. Rajavelsamy, S. Laxmaiah
Venue: ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review (2001)

Applications that require untethered access, in real-time, to multimedia information sources are made possible by mobile multimedia networks. These include support for decision makers in the field, crisis management and response, law enforcement, etc. The multimedia applications demand constant and continuous flow of data from the integrated sources. So, the network should support continuous transfer of information to the mobile hosts. However, the handoffs initiated by the mobile hosts will not allow continuous data transfer and thus some data is lost during handoff. In case of real-time multimedia applications like Video-on-Demand(VoD), it is essential to consider the data transfer control during the handoffs to provide a reliable service to the mobile hosts.We propose a mechanism to maintain the continuity of data transfer during handoffs in mobile-IP environments and minimizes the data loss during the period. This method performs efficient buffering of the data at the Base-station by using toggled buffers and enables to calculate optimal playout time for multimedia applications. The method has been tested on in-house wired/wireless networks. The results of this method showed enormous improvement in the continuity of data transfer during multiple handoffs while running multimedia applications such as video-on-demand(VoD) and Audio-on-demand(AoD).

Authors: Kevin Treu
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

In the current Web-dominated computing environment, it is increasingly important that students learn the principles of Web-based application design. But this topic is so broad and includes so many different technologies that it is virtually impossible to design an effective class around the traditional lecture-based model. This paper describes a successful approach to teaching the subject that uses a seminar format and features faithful simulation of real world development processes, meaningful case studies and flexibility in terms of coverage as its central themes.

A Leader-Follower Stochastic Linear Quadratic Differential Game
Authors: Jiongmin Yong
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

A leader-follower stochastic differential game is considered with the state equation being a linear Itô-type stochastic differential equation and the cost functionals being quadratic. We allow that the coefficients of the system and those of the cost functionals are random, the controls enter the diffusion of the state equation, and the weight matrices for the controls in the cost functionals are not necessarily positive definite. The so-called open-loop strategies are considered only. Thus, the follower first solves a stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with the aid of a stochastic Riccati equation. Then the leader turns to solve a stochastic LQ problem for a forward-backward stochastic differential equation. If such an LQ problem is solvable, one obtains an open-loop solution to the two-person leader-follower stochastic differential game. Moreover, it is shown that the open-loop solution admits a state feedback representation if a new stochastic Riccati equation is solvable.
Variational Analysis of the Abscissa Mapping for Polynomials
Authors: James V. Burke, Michael L. Overton
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

The abscissa mapping on the affine variety $\cMn$ of monic polynomials of degree n is the mapping that takes a monic polynomial to the maximum of the real parts of its roots. This mapping plays a central role in the stability theory of matrices and dynamical systems. It is well known that the abscissa mapping is continuous on $\cMn$, but not Lipschitz continuous. Furthermore, its natural extension to the linear space $\cPn$ of polynomials of degree n or less is not continuous. In our analysis of the abscissa mapping, we use techniques of modern nonsmooth analysis described extensively in Variational Analysis (R. T. Rockafellar and R. J.-B. Wets, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1998). Using these tools, we completely characterize the subderivative and the subgradients of the abscissa mapping, and establish that the abscissa mapping is everywhere subdifferentially regular. This regularity permits the application of our results in a broad context through the use of standard chain rules for nonsmooth functions. Our approach is epigraphical, and our key result is that the epigraph of the abscissa map is everywhere Clarke regular.
