Compact, adaptive placement schemes for non-uniform requirements
Authors: André Brinkmann, Kay Salzwedel, Christian Scheideler
Venue: Proceedings of the fourteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallel algorithms and architectures (2002)

In this paper we study the problem of designing compact, adaptive strategies for the distribution of objects among a heterogeneous set of servers. Ideally, such a strategy should allow the computation of the position of an object with a low time and space complexity, and it should be able to adapt with a near-minimum amount of replacements of objects to changes in the capabilities of the servers so that objects are always distributed among the servers according to their capabilities. Previous techniques are able to handle these requirements only in part. For example, standard hashing techniques can be used to achieve a non-uniform distribution of objects among a set of servers and the time and space efficient computation of the position of the objects, but they usually do not adapt well to a change in the capabilities. We present two strategies based on hashing that achieve all of the goals above. Furthermore, we give a list of applications for these strategies demonstrating that they can be used efficiently for distributed data management, web caches, and adaptive random graphs, which may be of interest for peer-to-peer networks.

The goal of the bok is to provide fundamental and practical information for practicing engineers, students, and researchers in industry as well as academia. The contents of the book have been shaped by the adoption of the IS-95 J-STD-008 CDMA standard, the new 14,400 bps voice coder for Rate Set 2 channels, new methods and models for implementation and modeling of smart antennas in CDMA, and the stringent wireless E-911 position location requirements imposed by the Federal Communications Commission. With regard to the FCC requirement, material has been added on Direction Finding and Position Location, which are of major concern to service providers due to upcoming regulatory requirements.
Automatic evaluation of world wide web search services
Authors: Abdur Chowdhury, Ian Soboroff
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Users of the World-Wide Web are not only confronted by an immense overabundance of information, but also by a plethora of tools for searching for the web pages that suit their information needs. Web search engines differ widely in interface, features, coverage of the web, ranking methods, delivery of advertising, and more. In this paper, we present a method for comparing search engines automatically based on how they rank known item search results. Because the engines perform their search on overlapping (but different) subsets of the web collected at different points in time, evaluation of search engines poses significant challenges to the traditional information retrieval methodology. Our method uses known item searching; comparing the relative ranks of the items in the search engines' rankings. Our approach automatically constructs known item queries using query log analysis and automatically constructs the result via analysis of editor comments from the ODP (Open Directory Project). Additionally, we present our comparison on five (Lycos, Netscape, Fast, Google, HotBot) well-known search services and find that some services perform known item searches better than others, but the majority are statistically equivalent.

An $\cal O(N)$ Level Set Method for Eikonal Equations
Authors: Seongjai Kim
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

A propagating interface can develop corners and discontinuities as it advances. Level set algorithms have been extensively applied for the problems in which the solution has advancing fronts. One of the most popular level set algorithms is the so-called {fast marching method} (FMM), which requires total $\cal O(N\log_2N)$ operations, where N is the number of grid points. The article is concerned with the development of an $\cal O(N)$ level set algorithm called the group marching method (GMM). The new method is based on the narrow band approach as in the FMM. However, it is incorporating a correction-by-iteration strategy to advance a group of grid points at a time, rather than sorting the solution in the narrow band to march forward a single grid point. After selecting a group of grid points appropriately, the GMM advances the group in two iterations for the cost of slightly larger than one iteration. Numerical results are presented to show the efficiency of the method, applied to the eikonal equation in two and three dimensions.

Database support for evolving data in product design
Authors: Dietmar Posselt, Gerd Hillebrand
Venue: Computers in Industry (2002)

We argue that database support for design processes is still inadequate, despite the many transaction models that have been put forth to fill this deficiency. In our opinion, substantial improvement is not to be gained by introducing yet another transaction model, but by questioning the basic paradigm of transaction processing itself. Instead of the usual view of transactions as destructive operations replacing an outdated database state with a more current one, we propose to view design transactions as non-destructive operations importing additional knowledge about an essentially unchanging final design solution. This leads to a model of designing with constraints, and a natural way of concurrent design. We give a formal presentation of the model and then discuss implementation techniques for centralized and distributed constraint management.

The Importance of Prior Probabilities for Entry Page Search
Authors: Wessel Kraaij, Thijs Westerveld, Djoerd Hiemstra
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

An important class of searches on the world-wide-web has the goal to find an entry page (homepage) of an organisation. Entry page search is quite different from Ad Hoc search. Indeed a plain Ad Hoc system performs disappointingly. We explored three non-content features of web pages: page length, number of incoming links and URL form. Especially the URL form proved to be a good predictor. Using URL form priors we found over 70% of all entry pages at rank 1, and up to 89% in the top 10. Non-content features can easily be embedded in a language model framework as a prior probability.

Object-Oriented Systems Design: An Integrated Approach, 1st edition
Authors: Edward Yourdon
Venue:  (1993)

:Best-selling author and respected computer expert Edward Yourdon presents his latest work, Object-Oriented Systems Design: An Integrated Approach. The first part of this comprehensive volume introduces the concept of objects and concludes with a look at the popularity of the OO paradigm. Chapter 2 discusses the extent of OO usage, as of 1991-92, and the reasons many software organizations are being attracted to the approach. But equally important, Chapter 2 explains why some organizations are consciously, deliberately choosing not to implement OO software methodologies - at least, for the time being. Part II of the book discusses a number of "management" issues associated with the OO paradigm. Many software project managers are ready to embrace the technical concepts of OO analysis, design, and programming - and frankly don't care which of the dozen commercial forms of OO methodology their project team uses - but they want to make sure they can still manage the project in order to assure that it will be finished on time and within budget. Therefore, the individual chapters in Part II discuss the subjects of software life cycles: project management, configuration management, software reuse, and techniques that complement OO methodologies. Part III examines the broad area of object-oriented analysis, or OOA. There are now so many different OOA methodologies that it is important to begin with an overview of what needs to be accomplished in the OOA phase of a project. Separate chapters discuss the critical problem of object discovery, object attributes, object behavior, object structures and relationships, and object methods and services. Part IV explores object-oriented design, or OOD. The problem of design notation is discussed; while it would be impossible for this book to consolidate all of the different OOD graphical notations into a single diagramming representation, we should agree on the important issues for OOD notation. Separate chapters then discuss the

Fuzzy structures on hyper K-algebras
Authors: Rajab Ali Borzooei, Mohammad Mehdi Zahedi
Venue: International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems (2002)

In this note first we define the notions of fuzzy hyperK-subalgebra and fuzzy (weak) hyperK-ideal of a hyperK-algebra. Then we state and prove some equivalent conditions for these notions. In particular we conclude that any fuzzy hyperK-ideal is weak but the converse is not correct in general. After that under a suitable condition we show that a fuzzy subset is a fuzzy hyperK-subalgebra if and only if it is a fuzzy weak hyperK-ideal. Also we give a correspondence theorem for fuzzy hyperK-ideals. Finally by considering the notion of fuzzy strongest relation, we state and prove some related results. Also we give many examples throughout the manuscript.

Preliminary thoughts on memory-bus scheduling
Authors: Jochen Liedtke, Marcus Völp, Kevin Elphinstone
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

Main memory is typically significantly slower than the processors that use it. Such slow memory is then amortized by fast caches. Effective scheduling, particularly for soft or hard real-time, has therefore to include cache control, even on uniprocessors. Although cache scheduling is currently still an open research issue, we assume in this paper that uniprocessors are effectively schedulable in the presence of caches.In this paper, we focus on SMP-specific memory scheduling. A small SMP multiprocessor typically incorporates multiple processors (with per-processor caches) that work on a global main memory. Processors and main memory are connected by a single memory bus, i.e. all processors share the same bus.Assume that we have 4 job mixes that can be correctly scheduled on 4 independent uniprocessors. What happens if we put those 4 job mixes on a 4-processor system with a single memory bus? Without any additional scheduling provisions, the shared memory bus can, in the worst case, stretch each schedule by a factor of 4. This is clearly unacceptable. In general, it would mean that the real-time capacity of an n-processor system is only 1/n of the capacity of a uniprocessor system. Multiprocessors would be unusable for real-time applications.Therefore, memory-bus scheduling is desirable. Memory-bus scheduling should enable us to give soft and perhaps even hard guarantees in relation to memory bandwidth and latency to real-time applications. For non real-time applications, it should help optimize a system's overall throughput and/or latency.
