The Ontology of Cyberspace: Law, Philosophy, and the Future of Intellectual Property
Authors: David R. Koepsell
Venue:  (2000)

:With the proliferation of computer software, a myriad of complex problems have appeared in copyright and patent law. The Ontology of Cyberspace is based on the concept that the cyberworld encompasses all computer-mediated phenomena. The author argues persuasively that the subjects of patent and copyright are in all important respects alike: man-made, intentionally produced objects, expressions of some kind, no different from books, songs, or machines.
Approximate solutions of polynomial equations
Authors: Shih Ping Tung
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

In this paper, we introduce "approximate solutions' to solve the following problem: given a polynomial F(x, y) over Q, where x represents an n -tuple of variables, can we find all the polynomials G(x) such that F(x, G(x)) is identically equal to a constant c in Q ? We have the following: let F(x, y) be a polynomial over Q and the degree of y in F(x, y) be n. Either there is a unique polynomial g(x)&isin;Q [x], with its constant term equal to 0, such that F(x, y) &Sigma;=j=0ncj(y-g(x))j for some rational numbers cj, hence, F(x, g(x) +a) &isin;Q for all a&isin;Q, or there are at most t distinct polynomials g1(x),..., gt(x), t&le;n, such that F(x, gi(x)) &isin;Q for 1 &le;i&le;t. Suppose that F(x,y) is a polynomial of two variables. The polynomial g(x) for the first case, or g1(x),..., gt(x) for the second case, are approximate solutions of F(x, y), respectively. There is also a polynomial time algorithm to find all of these approximate solutions. We then use Kronecker's substitution to solve the case of F(x, y). Copyright 2002 Academic Press

FIRM: fuzzily integrated region matching for content-based image retrieval
Authors: Yixin Chen, James Z. Wang, Jia Li
Venue: Proceedings of the ninth ACM international conference on Multimedia (2001)

We propose FIRM (Fuzzily Integrated Region Matching), an efficient and robust similarity measure for region-based image retrieval. Each image in our retrieval system is represented by a set of regions that are characterized by fuzzy sets. The FIRM measure, representing the overall similarity between two images, is defined as the similarity between two families of fuzzy sets. Compared with similarity measures based on individual regions and on all regions with crisp feature representations, our approach greatly reduces the influence of inaccurate segmentation. Experimental results based on a database of about 200,000 general-purpose images demonstrate improved accuracy, robustness, and high speed.
Rigorous Development of an Embedded Fault-Tolerant System Based on Coordinated Atomic Actions
Authors: Jie Xu, Alexander Romanovsky, Robert J. Stroud, Avelino F. Zorzo, Ercument Canver, Friedrich von Henke
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

This paper describes our experience using coordinated atomic (CA) actions as a system structuring tool to design and validate a sophisticated and embedded control system for a complex industrial application that has high reliability and safety requirements. Our study is based on an extended production cell model, the specification and simulator for which were defined and developed by FZI (Forschungszentrum Informatik, Germany). This "Fault-Tolerant Production Cell" represents a manufacturing process involving redundant mechanical devices (provided in order to enable continued production in the presence of machine faults). The challenge posed by the model specification is to design a control system that maintains specified safety and liveness properties even in the presence of a large number and variety of device and sensor failures. Based on an analysis of such failures, we provide in this paper details of: 1) a design for a control program that uses CA actions to deal with both safety-related and fault tolerance concerns and 2) the formal verification of this design based on the use of model-checking. We found that CA action structuring facilitated both the design and verification tasks by enabling the various safety problems (involving possible clashes of moving machinery) to be treated independently. Even complex situations involving the concurrent occurrence of any pairs of the many possible mechanical and sensor failures can be handled simply yet appropriately. The formal verification activity was performed in parallel with the design activity and the interaction between them resulted in a combined exercise in "design for validation"; formal verification was very valuable in identifying some very subtle residual bugs in early versions of our design which would have been difficult to detect otherwise.
Tuning and Sizing Windows 2000 for Maximum Performance, 2nd edition
Authors: Curt Aubley
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:PREFACE: PrefaceSomeone asked me what this book is about, and my response was surprisingly simple, "It is all about making computers go faster, specifically Windows 2000 solutions go faster." When someone feels that their application is running slowly, it doesn't matter why. Is it a network problem? Is it a Windows 2000 Server issue, or perhaps a troublesome desktop? In this book, we focus on making Windows 2000 Server, workstations, and networks operate at their very best, so together they can provide the maximum performance possible. What are the common performance questions that surround Windows 2000 systems today? Can Windows 2000 actually be tuned? Where do I start when sizing a new Windows 2000 system? What size system is required? Will it scale as needed? Why does system performance appear sluggish? How do you determine if Windows 2000 has a bottleneck from a lack of resources? How can we help our solution to scale? Anyone developing Windows 2000 solutions commonly runs into these questions. Performance related issues arise in many enterprises; this book will help you to resolve these questions and more. The concepts and recommendations in this book are experience based, not just regurgitation of available reference material.Feedback from my first book Tuning and Sizing NT Server (Prentice Hall, 1998) has been excellent.

Techniques for the construction of small and fast lexical analyzers
Authors: Joseph L. Linn
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

The paper discusses two major issues in the construction of table-driven lexical analyzers. It first examines an encoding of FSM state actions which allows the system to be truly table-driven with little or no program modification required to change the FSM being modeled. This encoding makes use of the knowledge that these actions are typically drawn from a reasonably small set. The second issue involves the storage of the "next-state" or transition table used by almost all general purpose scanning systems. A fortuitous encoding of FSM states can result in large savings in space with little cost in time. These techniques can be combined with the standard automata-theoretic approach to yield efficient analyzers.Previous results have shown that the speed of compilation is heavily influenced by the speed of the lexical analyzer. Therefore, these techniques could be used to improve the speed of new or already existing compilers.
Characterizing locality, evolution, and life span of accesses in enterprise media server workloads
Authors: Ludmila Cherkasova, Minaxi Gupta
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th international workshop on Network and operating systems support for digital audio and video (2002)

The main issue we address in this paper is the workload analysis of today's enterprise media servers. This analysis aims to establish a set of properties specific for enterprise media server workloads and to compare them with well known related observations about web server workloads. We propose two new metrics to characterize the dynamics and evolution of the accesses, and the rate of change in the site access pattern, and illustrate them with the analysis of two different enterprise media server workloads collected over a significant period of time. Another goal of our workload analysis study is to develop a media server log analysis tool, called MediaMetrics, that produces a media server traffic access profile and its system resource usage in a way useful to service providers.

A hypothesis driven approach to condition specific transcription factor binding site characterization in S.c.
Authors: Rhonda Harrison, Charles DeLisi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We demonstrate a computational process by which transcription factor binding sites can be elucidated using genome-wide expression and binding profiles. The profiles direct us to the intergenic locations likely to contain the promoter regions for a given factor. These sequences are multiply and locally aligned to give an anchor motif from which further characterization can take place. We present bases for and assumptions about the variability within these motifs which give rise to potentially more accurate motifs, capture complex binding sites built upon the basis motif, and eliminate the constraints of the currently employed promoter searching protocols. We also present a measure of motif quality based on the occurrence of the putative motifs in regions observed to contain the binding sites. The assumptions, motif generation, quality assessment and comparison allow the user as much control as their a priori knowledge allows.
