Elucidative programming in Java
Authors: Kurt Nørmark, Max Andersen, Claus Christensen, Vathanan Kumar, Søren Staun-Pedersen, Kristian Sørensen
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

In this paper we describe the ideas of Elucidative Programming. With Elucidative Programming we are primarily concerned with documentation of program understanding, and presentation of such understanding on the World Wide Web. In a broader perspective, we are interested in support of any technical writing which needs to address source program constituents. We claim that Elucidative Programming may be helpful for these purposes, mainly due to a documentation model based on relations between places in the documentation and program constituents. The main section in the paper introduces a concrete Elucidator tool for Java. We use this tool as outset for a discussion of collaboration and teamwork centered in WWW based program presentations.

Scheduling level of detail with guaranteed quality and cost
Authors: W. Pasman, F. W. Jansen
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh international conference on 3D Web technology (2002)

This paper presents a framework for handling and on-the-fly generation of levels of detail. The application directly controls the trade-off between the amount of resources to be used and the accuracy of the final images. The basis for this choice is an accuracy curve which explicates the trade-off. This curve is calculated and updated hierarchically, which makes it especially suited for use with a scene graph. Integration of the framework with VRML is described. Measurements on our prototype implementation show that target resource loads and accuracies can adequately be reached.

Receiver-initiated collision avoidance in wireless networks
Authors: J. J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves, Asimakis Tzamaloukas
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

Many medium-access control (MAC) protocols for wireless networks proposed or implemented to date are based on collision-avoidance handshakes between sender and receiver. In the vast majority of these protocols, including the IEEE 802.11 standard, the handshake is sender initiated, in that the sender asks the receiver for permission to transmit using a short control packet, and transmits only after the receiver sends a short clear-to-send notification. We analyze the effect of making the collision-avoidance handshake, receiver initiated and compare the performance of a number of receiver-initiated protocols with the performance of sender-initiated collision avoidance protocols. Analytical and simulation results show that the best-performing collision avoidance MAC protocol based on receiver-initiated or sender-initiated collision avoidance is one in which a node with data to send transmits a dual-purpose small control packet inviting a given neighbor to transmit and asking the same neighbor for permission to transmit. The receiver-initiated protocols we present make use of carrier sensing, and are applicable to either baseband or slow frequency-hopping radios in which an entire packet can be sent within the same frequency hop (which is the case of frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) commercial radios).

On the Bahncard problem
Authors: Rudolf Fleischer
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

In this paper, we generalize the Ski-Rental Problem to the Bahncard Problem which is an online problem of practical relevance for all travelers. The Bahncard is a railway pass of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (the German railway company) which entitles its holder to a 50% price reduction on nearly all train tickets. It costs 240DM, and it is valid for 12 months. Similar bus or railway passes can be found in many other countries. For the common traveler, the decision at which time to buy a Bahncard is a typical online problem, because she usually does not know when and where she will travel next. We show that the greedy algorithm applied by most travelers and clerks at ticket offices is not better in the worst case than the trivial algorithm which never buys a Bahncard. We present two optimal deterministic online algorithms, an optimistic one and a pessimistic one. We further give a lower bound for randomized online algorithms and present an algorithm which we conjecture to be optimal; a proof of the conjecture is given for a special case of the problem. It turns out that the optimal competitive ratio only depends on the price reduction factor (50% for the German Bahncard Problem), but does not depend on the price or validity period of a Bahncard.

A task-based security model to facilitate collaboration in trusted multi-agency networks
Authors: Salem Aljareh, Nick Rossiter
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Security problems in collaboration work are less well understood than those in the business and defence worlds. Earlier work in the medical area in Britain has highlighted some of the principles involved but has neglected some important areas. Most of the security models developed to date are inadequate in the collaboration area. We develop a perspective for policies and models that is task-based on a need-to-know basis. These policies can be represented as Petri nets to identify the functions and states involved. We have also developed a general architecture for a secure collaborative environment. An example is given of the application of our techniques to a problem involving negotiation, decision and agreement in a collaboration environment.

Classic Data Structures in Java: A Visual and Explorational Approach, 1st edition
Authors: Timothy Budd
Venue:  (2000)

:B> With this book, Tim Budd looks at data structures by providing a solid foundation on the abstract data type (ADT), and uses the graphical elements found in Java when possible. The beginning chapters provide the foundation on which everything else will be built. These chapters define the essential concept of the ADT, and describe the tools used in the evaluation and analysis of data structures. The book moves on to provide a detailed description of the two most important fundamental data abstractions--the vector and the linked list--providing an explanation of some of the more common variations on these fundamental ideas. Next, the material considers data structures applicable to problems in which the order that values are added to a collection is important, followed by a consideration of the various different ways in which binary trees are used in the creation of data structures. The last few chapters consider a sequence of more advanced data structures. This book presents Java data structures to programmers interested in following a graphical approach.

Design concepts for learning spatial relationships
Authors: Giuliano Benelli, Maurizio Caporali, Antonio Rizzo, Elisa Rubegni
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

Maps are cognitive artifacts that represent not only the characteristics of the information space but also the use people make of the space. There are three privileged modalities by which humans learn the relationships in existing spaces: path-based learning, landmark-based learning and survey learning. These three modalities are differently sustained by maps and by the real environments. Maps afford Simultaneous experience of the space, Single point of view, Survey knowledge, Secondary spatial activity; while real environments afford Progressive Experience of the space, Multiple point of view, Procedural knowledge, Primary Spatial activity. The most important attempts to modify these differences between maps and real environments, and to merge their properties, have been: a) the creation of visual structures that enable focus + context views; b) the design of information landscapes that enable free flight in 3D space. The principles used to obtain such a view are the combination of Simultaneous and Progressive Experience of the space as a Primary spatial activity.We are designing new views for a graphic information system by merging the affordances of traditional maps and real environments for learning spatial relations. The emerging views will be presented and discussed from a theoretical point of view and exemplified in their application to the design of an information system for a National Park in Italy. The prototype of the information system was tested by human factors specialists and by end-users; the results of the test show both strength, and weakness, in the implementation of the proposed design concepts.

Conceptual analysis of lexical taxonomies: the case of WordNet top-level
Authors: Aldo Gangemi, Nicola Guarino, Alessandro Oltramari
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

In this paper we propose an analysis and an upgrade of WordNet's top-level synset taxonomy. We briefly review WordNet and identify its main semantic limitations. Some principles from a forthcoming OntoClean methodology are applied to the ontological analysis of WordNet. A revised top-level taxonomy is proposed, which is meant to be more conceptually rigorous, cognitively transparent, and efficiently exploitable in several applications.
