Processing indefinite deductive databases under the possible model semantics
Authors: C. A. Johnson
Venue: Fundamenta Informaticae (2002)

The relationship between possible and supported models of unstratified indefinite deductive databases is studied, when disjunction is interpreted inclusively. Possible and supported models are shown to coincide under a suitable definition of supportedness, and the concept of a supported cover is introduced and shown to characterise possible models and facilitate top-down query processing and compilation under the possible model semantics. The properties and query processing of deductive databases under the possible model semantics is compared and contrasted with the perfect model semantics.

Challenge: integrating mobile wireless devices into the computational grid
Authors: Thomas Phan, Lloyd Huang, Chris Dulan
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

One application domain the mobile computing community has not yet entered is that of grid computing -- the aggregation of network-connected computers to form a large-scale, distributed system used to tackle complex scientific or commercial problems. In this paper we present the challenge of harvesting the increasingly widespread availability of Internet connected wireless mobile devices such as PDAs and laptops to be beneficially used within the emerging national and global computational grid. The integration of mobile wireless consumer devices into the Grid initially seems unlikely due to the inherent limitations typical of mobile devices, such as reduced CPU performance, small secondary storage, heightened battery consumption sensitivity, and unreliable low-bandwidth communication. However, the millions of laptops and PDAs sold annually suggest that this untapped abundance should not be prematurely dismissed. Given that the benefits of combining the resources of mobile devices with the computational grid are potentially enormous, one must compensate for the inherent limitations of these devices in order to successfully utilise them in the Grid. In this paper we identify the research challenges arising from this problem and propose our vision of a potential architectural solution. We suggest a proxy based, clustered system architecture with favourable deployment, interoperability, scalability, adaptivity, and fault-tolerance characteristics as well as an economic model to stimulate future research in this emerging field.

VB.Net Language in a Nutshell (2nd Edition), 2nd edition
Venue:  (2002)

:With the release of the Microsoft .NET platform comes a new version of Visual Basic dramatically unlike its predecessors. So extensive are the changes, in fact, that some VB programmers argue that Visual Basic .NET is an entirely new programming language. In the updated second edition of this popular book, you will find complete documentation for the Visual Basic .NET language. Beginning with a brief overview of the language, VB.NET Language in a Nutshell covers basic programming concepts, and introduces the .NET Framework Class Library and programming with attributes. The bulk of the book consists of an alphabetical reference to Visual Basic .NET statements, procedures, functions, and objects. Each entry has a standardized listing containing the following information: Its syntax, using standard coding conventions Differences in the operation of the keyword in Visual Basic .NET and in VB 6.0 A list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure A description of the data type returned by a function The finer points of a language element's usage that are often omitted from or blurred over by other sources Tips and warnings that include undocumented behaviors and practical applications for particular language elements An invaluable section for diagnosing or avoiding potential programming problems A cross-reference to related keywords On the CD-ROM (included with print edition of the book) is a plug-in that adds a copy of the book's language reference to the dynamic help within Visual Studio .NET.The plug-in requires any edition of Visual Basic .NET or Visual Studio .NET. No matter how much experience you have programming with VB, you want this book close by, both as a standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.

Regularization of P0-Functions in Box Variational Inequality Problems
Authors: G. Ravindran, M. Seetharama Gowda
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

Two recent papers [F. Facchinei, Math. Oper. Res., 23 (1998), pp. 735--745 and F. Facchinei and C. Kanzow, SIAM J. Control Optim., 37 (1999), pp. 1150--1161] have shown that for a continuously differentiable P0-function f, the nonlinear complementarity problem NCP$(f_\varepsilon)$ corresponding to the regularization $f_\varepsilon(x):=f(x)+\varepsilon x$ has a unique solution for every $\varepsilon>0$, that dist ($x(\varepsilon), \,{\mathop{\rm SOL}}(f))\rightarrow 0$ as $\varepsilon \rightarrow 0$ when the solution set SOL(f) of NCP(f) is nonempty and bounded, and NCP(f) is stable if and only if the solution set is nonempty and bounded. These results are proved via the Fischer function and the mountain pass theorem. In this paper, we generalize these nonlinear complementarity results to a box variational inequality problem corresponding to a continuous P0-function where the regularization is described by an integral. We also describe an upper semicontinuity property of the inverse of a weakly univalent function and study its consequences.
Sensitivity analysis using parallel ODE solvers and automatic differentiation in C: SensPVODE and ADIC
Authors: Steven L. Lee, Paul D. Hovland
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

PVODE is a high-performance ordinary differential equation solver for the types of initial value problems (IVPs) that arise in large-scale computational simulations. Often, one wants to compute sensitivities with respect to certain parameters in the IVP. We discuss the use of automatic differentiation (AD) to compute these sensitivities in the context of PVODE. Results on a simple test problem indicate that the use of AD-generated derivative code can reduce the time to solution over finite difference approximations.

MUSA-shadow: concepts, implementation, and sample applications a location-based service supporting multiple devices
Authors: Sebastian Fischmeister, Guido Menkhaus, Wolfgang Pree
Venue: Proceedings of the Fortieth International Conference on Tools Pacific: Objects for internet, mobile and embedded applications (2002)

The proliferation of mobile devices has refocused interest on location-information exploiting applications. The most prominent problems are the support of devices with widely varying computing and user interface capabilities and a programming model, which promotes the development of location-based services. The article presents the concepts and implementation of MUSA-Shadow, which addresses both issues through a service infrastructure that provides high-level programming abstraction for the development of location-based applications. Furthermore the system introduces novel concepts for user/service interaction via adaptable event graphs and implicit location information via mobile agents.
Write barrier removal by static analysis
Authors: Karen Zee, Martin Rinard
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2002)

We present a new analysis for removing unnecessary write barriers in programs that use generational garbage collection. To our knowledge, this is the first static program analysis for this purpose. Our algorithm uses a pointer analysis to locate assignments that always create a reference from a younger object to an older object, then transforms the program to remove the write barriers normally associated with such assignments. We have implemented two transformations that reorder object allocations; these transformations can significantly increase the effectiveness of our write barrier removal algorithm.Our base technique assumes that the collector promotes objects in age order. We have developed an extension that enables the optimistic removal of write barriers, with the collector lazily adding each newly promoted object into a remembered set of objects whenever the compiler may have removed write barriers involving the object at statements that have yet to execute. This mechanism enables the application of our technique to virtually any memory management system that uses write barriers to enable generational garbage collection.Results from our implemented system show that our technique can remove substantial numbers of write barriers from the majority of the programs in our benchmark set, producing modest performance improvements of up to 6% of the overall execution time. Moreover, by dynamically instrumenting the executable, we are able to show that for six of our nine benchmark programs, our analysis is close to optimal in the sense that it removes the write barriers for almost all assignments that do not, in the observed execution, create a reference from an older object to a younger object. Finally, our results show that the overhead of our optimistic extension is negligible.

A Jacobi--Davidson Type SVD Method
Authors: Michiel E. Hochstenbach
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We discuss a new method for the iterative computation of a portion of the singular values and vectors of a large sparse matrix. Similar to the Jacobi--Davidson method for the eigenvalue problem, we compute in each step a correction by (approximately) solving a correction equation. We give a few variants of this Jacobi--Davidson SVD (JDSVD) method with their theoretical properties. It is shown that the JDSVD can be seen as an accelerated (inexact) Newton scheme. We experimentally compare the method with some other iterative SVD methods.
