AspectC++: an aspect-oriented extension to the C++ programming language
Authors: Olaf Spinczyk, Andreas Gal, Wolfgang Schröder-Preikschat
Venue: Proceedings of the Fortieth International Conference on Tools Pacific: Objects for internet, mobile and embedded applications (2002)

Small embedded systems are forced to operate under extreme resource constraints. At the same time these systems are very complex and many concerns in the implementation of such systems are of highly crosscutting nature. The concept of aspect orientation can be applied to allow a modular implementation of these concerns. With AspectJ the first complete and powerful language extension for aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been created. However, the costs of the Java run-time environment are not feasible for most embedded applications.This paper presents AspectC++ (Gal & Spinczyk 2001), a new language extension to C/C++ that provides powerful language elements to facilitate aspect-oriented programming even in domains with tight resource limitations.
Proximal Decomposition Via Alternating Linearization
Authors: Krzysztof C. Kiwiel, Charles H. Rosa, Andrzej Ruszczynski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

A new approximate proximal point method for minimizing the sum of two convex functions is introduced. It replaces the original problem by a sequence of regularized subproblems in which the functions are alternately represented by linear models. The method updates the linear models and the prox center, as well as the prox coefficient. It is monotone in terms of the objective values and converges to a solution of the problem, if any. A dual version of the method is derived and analyzed. Applications of the methods to multistage stochastic programming problems are discussed and preliminary numerical experience is presented.

Programming Languages: Design and Implementation, 4th edition
Authors: Terrence W. Pratt, Marvin V. Zelkowitz
Venue:  (2000)

:Exceptionally comprehensive in approach, this book explores the major issues in both design and implementation of modern programming languages and provides a basic introduction to the underlying theoretical models on which these languages are based. The emphasis throughout is on fundamental conceptsreaders learn important ideas, not minor language differencesbut several languages are highlighted in sufficient detail to enable readers to write programs that demonstrate the relationship between a source program and its execution behaviore.g., C, C++, JAVA, ML, LISP, Prolog, Smalltalk, Postscript, HTML, PERL, FORTRAN, Ada, COBOL, BASIC SNOBOL4, PL/I, Pascal. Begins with a background review of programming languages and the underlying hardware that will execute the given program; then covers the underlying grammatical model for programming languages and their compilers (elementary data types, data structures and encapsulation, inheritance, statements, procedure invocation, storage management, distributed processing, and network programming). Includes an advanced chapter on language semanticsprogram verification, denotational semantics, and the lambda calculus. For computer engineers and others interested in programming language designs.
On the Accurate Identification of Active Constraints
Authors: Francisco Facchinei, Andreas Fischer, Christian Kanzow
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

We consider nonlinear programs with inequality constraints, and we focus on the problem of identifying those constraints which will be active at an isolated local solution. The correct identification of active constraints is important from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. Such an identification removes the combinatorial aspect of the problem and locally reduces the inequality constrained minimization problem to an equality constrained problem which can be more easily dealt with. We present a new technique which identifies active constraints in a neighborhood of a solution and which requires neither complementary slackness nor uniqueness of the multipliers. We also present extensions to variational inequalities and numerical examples illustrating the identification technique.
Toward a Cyberlegal Culture
Authors: Mirela Roznovschi
Venue:  (2001)

:Although universal online access to legal information has vastly expanded the lawyer's practical resources, it does not come with a clear and reliable methodology. A fundamental shift in approach is necessary to understand its enormous transformation of the legal research process; using it requires a new set of procedures amounting to the assimilation of a new legal culture. Now for the first time this new "cyberlegal" culture is fully set forth in a way that makes its great benefits available to all legal practitioners and law librarians. This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the new legal infrastructure inherent in the internationalization of legal research via the internet. It presents dependable strategies for navigating efficiently in the virtual reality environment, with special attention to the librarian's role in shaping legal database interfaces. It thoroughly explains how the law library's mission is restructured, adding a teaching dimension to its traditional role as a reference service. The author describes the skills and managerial decisions that characterize the cyberlegal culture, showing the reader exactly how the cyberlegal information specialist conducts substantive legal research. She spells out the guiding principles on evaluating databases, other online legal research tools, and the "linked thinking" capabilities of the internet. Concrete examples are provided throughout, such as: modules for teaching online legal research, with sensitivity to different regions, jurisdictions, and levels of comprehension; a catalog of reliable international and foreign legal databases, listed (with search strategies) by subject as well as by jurisdiction; and URLs for all databases discussed.

Using an architecture description language for quantitative analysis of real-time systems
Authors: Robert Allen, Steve Vestal, Dennis Cornhill, Bruce Lewis
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

An architecture description language (ADL) specifies the structure of an overall system as an assembly of interacting components. ADLs can serve as input to a variety of development tools. We outline the Avionics Architecture Description Language, an emerging SAE standard for describing the architectures of hard real-time, safety-critical embedded computer systems. We describe a suite of tools that perform a set of verification, modeling and analysis, and implementation activities given an AADL specification. We summarize a study that applied these technologies using data about a complex avionics system, identifying and discussing some of the issues raised by this exercise.

Numerical Shadowing Using Componentwise Bounds and a Sharper Fixed Point Result
Authors: Erik S. Van Vleck
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

Shadowing provides a means of obtaining global error bounds for approximate solutions of nonlinear differential equations with interesting dynamics, in particular, for initial value problems with positive Lyapunov exponents. Shadowing breaks down in the presence of zero Lyapunov exponents, although some results such as shadowing with rescaling of time have been obtained. Using a reformulation of the original differential equations and an improved fixed point result we take advantage of componentwise local error bounds to use relatively smaller error tolerances in nonhyperbolic and contractive directions (i.e., in directions corresponding to zero and negative Lyapunov exponents). The result is a decrease in the shadowing global error.

Comparison of the Nodal Integral Method and Nonstandard Finite-Difference Schemes for the Fisher Equation
Authors: Rizwan Uddin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

The relationship between the so-called nonstandard finite-difference schemes and the nodal integral method (NIM) is investigated using the Fisher equation as a model problem. Exact and best finite-difference schemes are reviewed first. Next, the NIM for the Fisher equation is developed. It is shown that the NIM leads to a nonstandard evaluation of the derivatives. Moreover, the resulting scheme possesses the desirable characteristics of the nonstandard finite difference schemes, such as the nonlocal evaluation of the nonlinear terms. Thus, the NIM provides a systematic framework to obtain schemes similar to the best finite-difference schemes. Numerical results for a propagating front problem show that the NIM can capture the shape and speed of the front very accurately. Results also show that the best finite-difference scheme is stable for large grid sizes but only at the cost of inaccuracy in the front propagation speed. Additional results are obtained using the NIM for symmetric and asymmetric initial conditions. These describe the interaction of two fronts of advantageous genes that approach each other and merge. It is noted that the traveling fronts evolving from certain asymmetric initial conditions become indistinguishable from those that evolve from symmetric initial conditions.

Computer algebra: the end of mathematics?
Authors: Bruno Buchberger
Venue: ACM SIGSAM Bulletin (2002)

Mathematical software systems, such as Mathematica, Maple, Derive, and so on, are substantially based on enormous advances in the area of mathematics known as Computer Algebra or Symbolic Mathematics. In fact, everything taught in high school and in the first semesters of a university mathematical education, is available in these systems 'at the touch of the button'. Will mathematics become unnecessary because of this? In the three sections of this essay, I answer this question for non-mathematicians, for mathematicians and for (future) students of mathematics.
Video matting of complex scenes
Authors: Yung-Yu Chuang, Aseem Agarwala, Brian Curless, David H. Salesin, Richard Szeliski
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

This paper describes a new framework for video matting, the process of pulling a high-quality alpha matte and foreground from a video sequence. The framework builds upon techniques in natural image matting, optical flow computation, and background estimation. User interaction is comprised of garbage matte specification if background estimation is needed, and hand-drawn keyframe segmentations into "foreground," "background" and "unknown". The segmentations, called trimaps, are interpolated across the video volume using forward and backward optical flow. Competing flow estimates are combined based on information about where flow is likely to be accurate. A Bayesian matting technique uses the flowed trimaps to yield high-quality mattes of moving foreground elements with complex boundaries filmed by a moving camera. A novel technique for smoke matte extraction is also demonstrated.
