Light-based information systems for the businessman
Authors: Patricia Dines
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

The rapid advances in light-based information transfer have left many awed, both engineers and end users. Articles and books for the former are highly technical, while information for the latter discusses the results without an explanation of the principles. This paper seeks to bridge that gap.Examined first is the conceptual difference between the two primary transfer methods --- copper coaxial cable and fiber optic cable. Next, attenuation and noise are discussed as the primary factors encouraging the development of glass fibers. The following section uses this information to look at a few example systems (like Bell's transatlantic underwater system) and the benefits derived from the installation of fiber optic cable.The LED transmitter is examined, and particularly the special LED: the laser. The development and structure of injection lasers are described, from the simple diffused-junction lasers (like GaAs-GaAs lasers), to the complex double-heterojunction lasers (like AlGaAs-GaAs lasers). Examples are considered to see benefits brought by lasers.With the terms set, the paper delves into the technical specifications which might confront a decision maker, and concludes by listing the potential benefits and drawbacks of a light-based communication system.

Fast and flexible application-level networking on exokernel systems
Authors: Gregory R. Ganger, Dawson R. Engler, M. Frans Kaashoek, Hector M. Briceño Russell Hunt, Thomas Pinckney
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS) (2002)

Application-level networking is a promising software organization for improving performance and functionality for important network services. The Xok/ExOS exokernel system includes application-level support for standard network services, while at the same time allowing application writers to specialize networking services. This paper describes how Xok/ExOS's kernel mechanisms and library operating system organization achieve this flexibility, and retrospectively shares our experiences and lessons learned (both positive and negative). It also describes how we used this flexibility to build and specialize three network data services: the Cheetah HTTP server, the webswamp Web benchmarking tool, and an application-level TCP forwarder. Overall measurements show large performance improvements relative to similar services built on conventional interfaces, in each case reaching the maximum possible end-to-end performance for the experimental platform. For example, Cheetah provides factor of 2--4 increases in throughput compared to highly tuned socket-based implementations and factor of 3--8 increases compared to conventional systems. Webswamp can offer loads that are two to eight times heavier. The TCP forwarder provides 50--300% higher throughput while also providing end-to-end TCP semantics that cannot be achieved with POSIX sockets. With more detailed measurements and profiling, these overall performance improvements are also broken down and attributed to the specific specializations described, providing server writers with insights into where to focus their optimization efforts.

An extensible differential equation solver
Authors: Barton L. Willis
Venue: ACM SIGSAM Bulletin (2001)

We describe a method for solving linear second order differential equations in terms of hypergeometric and other (less well known) special functions. Intended as a method for computer algebra systems, the solver described in this article uses a database of functions to construct an anstatz for the solution. A user may extend the solver by appending functions to the database. An overview of a Macsyma language implementation, with sample calculations, is given.
Form and function: the impact of query term and operator usage on Web search results
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

Conventional wisdom holds that queries to information retrieval systems will yield more relevant results if they contain multiple topic-related terms and use Boolean and phrase operators to enhance interpretation. Although studies have shown that the users of Web-based search engines typically enter short, term-based queries and rarely use search operators, little information exists concerning the effects of term and operator usage on the relevancy of search results. In this study, search engine users formulated queries on eight search topics. Each query was submitted to the user-specified search engine, and relevancy ratings for the retrieved pages were assigned. Expert-formulated queries were also submitted and provided a basis for comparing relevancy ratings across search engines. Data analysis based on our research model of the term and operator factors affecting relevancy was then conducted. The results show that the difference in the number of terms between expert and nonexpert searches, the percentage of matching terms between those searches, and the erroneous use of nonsupported operators in nonexpert searches explain most of the variation in the relevancy of search results. These findings highlight the need for designing search engine interfaces that provide greater support in the areas of term selection and operator usage.
Graphical Belief Modeling, 1st edition
Authors: Russell G. Almond
Venue:  (1995)

:This innovative volume explores graphical models using belieffunctions as a representation of uncertainty, offering an alternative approach to problems where probability proves inadequate. Graphical Belief Modeling makes it easy to compare the two approaches while evaluating their relative strengths and limitations. The author examines both theory and computation, incorporating practical notes from the author's own experience with the BELIEF software package. As one of the first volumes to apply the Dempster-Shafer belief functions to a practical model, a substantial portion of the book is devoted to a single example--calculating the reliability of a complex system. This special feature enables readers to gain a thorough understanding of the application of this methodology. The first section provides a description of graphical belief models and probablistic graphical models that form an important subset: the second section discusses the algorithm used in the manipulation of graphical models: the final segment of the book offers a complete description of the risk assessment example, as well as the methodology used to describe it. Graphical Belief Modeling offers researchers and graduate students in artificial intelligence and statistics more than just a new approach to an old reliability task: it provides them with an invaluable illustration of the process of graphical belief modeling.
Analyzing variants of Shellsort
Authors: Bronislava Brejová
Venue: Information Processing Letters (2001)

We consider two variants of Shellsort --- Dobosiewicz sort and Shaker sort. Not much is known about the running time of these algorithms. We prove that the worst-case time of Shaker sort is O(n3/2log3n) for certain sequences of increments and the average-case time for both variants is &Ohgr;(n2/cp) where p is the number of increments and c = 2 for Dobosiewicz sort and c = 4 for Shaker sort. In our proofs we adapt techniques and results from analysis of Shellsort.

High-Tech Heretic: Why Computers Don't Belong in the Classroom and Other Reflections by a Computer Contrarian
Authors: Clifford Stoll
Venue:  (1999)

:A thorough detonation of the hype surrounding computers in our lives, by the bestselling author of The Cuckoo's Egg and Silicon Snake Oil.In a book that should spark debate across the country, Clifford Stoll, one of the pioneers of the Internet and a renowned gadfly of the computer industry, takes an insightful, provocativeand entertaininglook at how computers have encroached on our lives. High Tech Heretic punctures the exaggerated benefits of everything from foisting computers on preschoolers to "free" software to computer "help desks" that help no one at all. Why, Stoll asks, is there a relentless drumbeat for "computer literacy" by educators and the high-tech industry when the computer's most common uses are for word processing and games? Is diverting scarce education resources from teachers and equipment in favor of computers in the classroom the best use of school money? Are supermarket checkout clerks computer literate because they operate a laser scanner? Has no one noticed that the closest equivalent to today's hot new multimedia and Internet Web sites are(drumroll)Classics Illustrated, the comic books based on literature?In these fascinating contrarian commentaries, Stoll focuses his droll wit and penetrating gaze on everything from why computers have to be so darned "ugly" to the cultural aftershocks of our high-tech society, to how to turn an outdated 386 computer into something useful, like a fish tank or a cat litter box.As one who loves computers as much as he disdains the inflated promises made on their behalf, Cliff Stoll is nothing less than a P. J. O'Rourke of the computer agebarbed,opinionated, and essential.
Some issues and problems in text tagging using neural networks
Authors: Julian Eugene Boggess,  III
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

This paper reports the results of several experiments conducted on automatic text tagging using neural networks. Error backpropagation networks were tested to see how effective they would be at correctly predicting the syntactic and semantic classification ("tag") of a word in a sentence, given some or no contextual information. The following contexts were examined: (1) the ending (last three letters) of the word alone, and (2) an encoded representation of the word, preceded by the representations of the three previous words in the sentence. Although each study suffered from some interesting problems with data representation, the results seemed promising and suggest that further investigation is warranted.
