FreeGaze: a gaze tracking system for everyday gaze interaction
Authors: Takehiko Ohno, Naoki Mukawa, Atsushi Yoshikawa
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 symposium on Eye tracking research & applications (2002)

In this paper we introduce a novel gaze tracking system called FreeGaze, which is designed for the use of everyday gaze interaction. Among various possible applications of gaze tracking system, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is one of the most promising elds. However, existing systems require complicated and burden-some calibration and are not robust to the measurement variations. To solve these problems, we introduce a geometric eyeball model and sophisticated image processing. Unlike existing systems, our system needs only two points for each individual calibration. When the personalization nishes, our system needs no more calibration before each measurement session. Evaluation tests show that the system is accurate and applicable to everyday use for the applications.

Linger Longer: fine-grain cycle stealing for networks of workstations
Authors: Kyung Dong Ryu, Jeffrey K. Hollingsworth
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

Studies have shown that a significant fraction of the time, workstations are idle. In this paper we present a new scheduling policy called Linger-Longer that exploits the fine-grained availability of workstations to run sequential and parallel jobs. We present a two-level workload characterization study and use it to simulate a cluster of workstations running our new policy. We compare two variations of our policy to two previous policies: Immediate-Eviction and Pause-and-Migrate. Our study shows that the Linger-Longer policy can improve the throughput of foreign jobs on cluster by 60% with only a 0.5% slowdown of foreground jobs. For parallel computing, we showed that the Linger-Longer policy outperforms reconfiguration strategies when the processor utilization by the local process is 20% or less in both synthetic bulk synchronous and real data-parallel applications.
Visualization of bibliographic networks with a reshaped landscape metaphor
Authors: U. Brandes, T. Willhalm
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

We describe a novel approach to visualize bibliographic networks that facilitates the simultaneous identification of clusters (e.g., topic areas) and prominent entities (e.g., surveys or landmark papers). While employing the landscape metaphor proposed in several earlier works, we introduce new means to determine relevant parameters of the landscape. Moreover, we are able to compute prominent entities, clustering of entities, and the landscape's surface in a surprisingly simple and uniform way. The effectiveness of our network visualizations is illustrated on data from the graph drawing literature.

Simulation of the tornado hazard in the U.S.
Authors: Bronislava M. Sigal, Ajay Singhal, Kai Pan, Pasan Seneviratna, Masoud M. Zadeh
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

On average more than 1000 tornado touchdowns hit the continental U.S. every year causing significant human and economic losses. In order to manage tornado risk, we need to assess tornado hazard, the subsequent damage, and the resulting loss. This paper presents a methodology for tornado hazard assessment, which is an important step in the management of risk. For this purpose, a simulation approach is used to infer the characteristics of future tornadoes from those of past events. This paper first develops the probability distributions of the following tornado parameters needed in the simulation: rate of occurrence, relative frequencies of different Fujita scales, length, width, direction, location, and wind speed at touchdown. Then an approach for generating tornado events using the Latin hypercube method is presented. The method is applied to obtain simulated databases. These databases are first used to check convergence on the underlying parameters. The databases are then used to study the convergence of average annual loss as well as losses that are exceeded with specified probabilities.

A micromodularity mechanism
Authors: Daniel Jackson, Ilya Shlyakhter, Manu Sridharan
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th European software engineering conference held jointly with 9th ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2001)

A simple mechanism for structuring specifications is described. By modelling structures as atoms, it remains entirely first-order and thus amenable to automatic analysis. And by interpreting fields of structures as relations, it allows the same relational operators used in the formula language to be used for dereferencing. An extension feature allows structures to be developed incrementally, but requires no textual inclusion nor any notion of subtyping. The paper demonstrates the flexibility of the mechanism by application in a variety of common idioms.

An algorithm to compute the convex hull in the plane from the distance matrix
Authors: G. Sampath
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

There exist a variety of algorithms for the convex hull problem in the plane. The input to all of these is the set of points in terms of their coordinates. In this short note, a convex hull algorithm is presented in which the points are specified not through their coordinates but in terms of the distances between pairs of them in the form of a distance matrix. Some applications where this is the case are mentioned, and the algorithm's performance is analyzed and shown to be O(n2) in the worst case.

Organization of a computer system for measuring the electrical activity of the heart
Authors: R. C. Barr, G. S. Herman-Giddens, M. S. Spach, R. B. Warren, M. N. Morrow, T. M. Gallie,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

We have approached the study of the electrical activity of the heart by separating the work into two distinct phases - data acquisition and data analysis. The data acquisition program monitors the activity of the heart, samples as many as 24 electrodes simultaneously, and displays them to the investigator. It concurrently executes as many as eleven tasks, uses multiple real time clocks, and allows continuous operator control with exhaustive error checking. The data analysis program tabulates the data previously recorded on tape and allows an operator to select portions to be amplified with respect to time and voltage. Data time sequences can be converted to spatial displays such as contour maps or perspective plots. The program operates by successively applying functions to a data base of over two million bytes. The functions which process the data are organized as an easily expandible set of overlays of about 80,000 program lines. We think that these capabilities can only be achieved by separating the data acquisition from the data analysis.
An authorization infrastructure for nomadic computing
Authors: Kan Zhang, Tim Kindberg
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

We present an infrastructure for flexible and secure access to a group of distributed services in a nomadic computing environment, wherein users access local services from their mobile, wirelessly connected devices. We describe a secure hand-off' protocol, which allows a user to register with a single service that hands off' authorization to access a subset of the services. Our protocol helps maintain the user's privacy. It allows the services (which may be implemented on simple appliances) and the user's mobile device to have modest resources: services do not have to be online to any party except the user's device and the storage and communication requirements are minimal. In addition to the hand-off protocol, the paper presents a model for authorization hand-off and describes related research and technologies.

Web Publishing for Genealogy, 2nd edition
Authors: Peter Christian
Venue:  (2000)

:With the World Wide Web growing at a furious pace, spreading its tentacles into every nook and cranny of the genealogy world, the appearance of this book on Web publishing is as timely as it is welcome. Over the past few years genealogy Web sites have been proliferating at such an incredible rate that the Web now provides the best opportunities for locating source materials, contacting other researchers, sharing family information, and publishing the results of your research. Not only does it provide a means of locating an infinite array of how-to sources, reference materials, and resources of almost every type imaginable, including research centers, genealogical organizations, archives, repositories, and databases, but it also offers an ideal way to publish special-interest material which would never find a traditional publisher but might yet command a wide audience. As a low-cost medium accessible to millions of readers, the Web offers unlimited potential for genealogists to publicize the results of their researches, their surname interests, transcripts of original source materials, and anything else of a genealogical nature. The aim of this book, written by Peter Christian, the editor of Computers in Genealogy and Webmaster for the Society of Genealogists, is to look at what is involved in publishing your genealogy on the Web and to offer some guidance in how to get started. In plain English, Mr. Christian explains what the World Wide Web is, why the Web is especially useful for genealogists, how Web pages work, what you need for Web publishing, and the process of Web publishing itself. Then, as simply as possible, he discusses HTML and other Web-authoring tools, as well as text editors, word processors, GEDCOM conversion tools, and genealogy software. At the center of the book he includes a lengthy section on Web site design, explaining what to include, how to organize your information, HTML "tags" and basic page design, the difference between good and bad Web design, and the legal and ethical issues surrounding Web publishing. He makes ample use of computer screen shots to illustrate how to use a text editor to create simple Web pages and demonstrates the type of page layout and design facilities that are available. Two final chapters explore advanced Web facilities--style sheets, image maps, frames, and access control--and how, finally, to publish your Web pages and lure visitors to your site. Rounding out the book there are a glossary of Web terminology, a bibliography of books, articles, and online resources, a subject index, and--you guessed it--a Web site devoted to the book which is full of supplemental information!

Expert fit: how the ExpertFit distribution-fitting package can make your simulation models more valid
Authors: Averill M. Law, Michael G. McComas
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

In this paper, we discuss the critical role of simulation input modeling in a successful simulation study. Two pitfalls in simulation input modeling are then presented and we explain how any analyst, regardless of their knowledge of statistics, can easily avoid these pitfalls through the use of the ExpertFit distribution-fitting software. We use a set of real-world data to demonstrate how the software automatically specifies and ranks probability distributions, and then tells the analyst whether the "best" candidate distribution is actually a good representation of the data. If no distribution provides a good fit, then ExpertFit can define an empirical distribution. In either case, the selected distribution is put into the proper format for direct input to the analyst's simulation software.
