SIGEST
Authors: The Editors
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

This issue's SIGEST paper brings together two prominent themes in numerical analysis---finite element methods and adaptivity. Some date the ideas of the finite element method to the Hurwitz--Courant book of 1922; the first mathematical application of the finite element method is often attributed to Richard Courant's 1943 work on solving a torsion problem using piecewise polynomials. Engineers independently began using finite element techniques during the 1950s, primarily for structural analysis, and the name "finite element method" was coined in 1960 by Ray Clough, a professor of structural engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Since then, finite element methods and their variations have been widely studied and generalized, becoming in the process a solution technique that is almost ubiquitous in science and engineering. The concept of an adaptive numerical method---meaning, broadly speaking, one that uses information acquired while solving a problem to shape the solution procedure---is similarly woven into today's scientific computing. Adaptive methods are especially popular for problems containing singularities, sharp boundaries, or disparate scales. The buzzword "multiscale" frequently appears in recent characterizations of the most challenging problems, and is naturally linked with adaptivity. In 1978, the combination of these ideas---adaptivity and the finite element method---began with the seminal paper "Error Estimates for Adaptive Finite Element Computations," by Ivo Babuska and Werner Rheinboldt [SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 15 (1978), pp.~736--754]. Thus it is particularly appropriate that this issue's SIGEST paper from that same journal, "Convergence of adaptive finite element methods," by Pedro Morin, Ricardo H. Nochetto, and Kunibert G. Siebert, also involves adaptive finite element methods. As the authors observe, adaptive methods can succeed only with good a~posteriori error estimates to help guide changes in the mesh. This paper tackles the mostly open problem of analyzing convergence in more than one dimension for the adaptive method paradigm of repeated solution, error estimation, and refinement. Based on a measure called data oscillation, which captures information that can be missed in averaging, the authors present an algorithm and prove its fundamental error reduction property. The nonexpert reader will find a clear introduction to the a posteriori error estimates on which adaptive finite elements are founded, followed by presentation of a new algorithm and a proof of its error reduction property. Many illuminating numerical examples are presented throughout, and two of the many colorful figures appear on this issue's cover. We thank the authors for their contribution to SIAM Review.
J-SEAL2&mdash;A Secure High-Performance Mobile Agent System
Authors: Walter Binder
Venue: Electronic Commerce Research (2001)

Even though the advantages of mobile agents for distributed electronic commerce applications have been highlighted in numerous research works, mobile agent applications are not in widespread use today. For the success of mobile agent applications, secure, portable, and efficient execution platforms for mobile agents are crucial. However, popular mobile agent systems do not meet the high security requirements of electronic commerce applications, are not portable, or cause high overhead. Currently, the majority of mobile agent platforms is based on Java. These systems simply rely on the security model of Java, although it is not suited to protect agents and service components from each other.In contrast, J-SEAL2 is a mobile agent system designed to meet the high security, portability, and performance requirements of large-scale electronic commerce applications. J-SEAL2 extends the Java environment with a model of strong protection domains. The core of the system is a micro-kernel fulfilling the same functions as a traditional operating system kernel: protection, communication, domain termination, and resource control. For portability reasons, J-SEAL2 is implemented in pure Java. This paper focuses on the design of the new communication model in J-SEAL2, which allows convenient, efficient, and mediated communication in a hierarchy of strong protection domains.

Remarks on the algebra of non first normal form relations
Authors: G. Jaeschke, H. J. Schek
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1982)

Usually, the first normal form condition of the relational model of data is imposed. Presently, a broader class of data base applications like office information systems is considered where this restriction is not convenient. Therefore, an extension of the relational model is proposed consisting of Non First Normal Form (NF2) relations. The relational algebra is enriched mainly by so called nest and unnest operations which transform between NF2 relations and the usual ones. We state some properties of these operations and some rules which occur in combination with the operations of the usual relational algebra. Since we propose to use the NF2 model also for the internal data model these rules are important not only for theoretical reasons but also for a practical implementation.
A framework for energy-scalable communication in high-density wireless networks
Authors: Rex Min, Anantha Chandrakasan
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Power-aware communication is essential for maximizing the life¿time of energy-constrained wireless devices. Applications running on such devices can cooperatively reduce communication energy by trading communication latency, reliability, or range for energy savings. We introduce a framework that exposes these high level trade-offs to a power-aware communication subsystem featuring variable-strength convolutional coding, an adjustable power ampli¿fier, and a voltage-scaled processor. An application programming interface (API) exposes an application's minimum quality con¿straints on the communication. These constraints are translated into energy-efficient parameter settings for the communication hardware. We apply our framework to improved communication energy models and measurements from a wireless microsensor node to effect over an order of magnitude of energy scalability.

SIGAda 2001 workshop, "creating a symbiotic relationship between XML and Ada"
Authors: Robert C. Leif
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2002)

The purpose of the workshop was to organize the Ada community to take advantage of the opportunity to create Ada applications that are operating systems independent because they are based on a web technology, XML, Extensible Markup Language. The commercial use of the Internet is the driving force behind XML. Four elements of XML, which together are sufficient to build a web application, and all employ the same syntax were described. These are XML; its schema; the Extensible Stylesheet Language, XSL; and the XML mechanism for forms, XForms. XML concerns the data objects that are included on the web page and their order of presentation. The schema contains the information on the types and objects for XML. Schemas are roughly equivalent to an Ada specification without the subprograms.Fortunately, the programing language that has the best fit with XML is Ada. XML has visibility and scoping rules, which are similar to Ada. XML has strong typing and has single inheritance similar to Ada. A mutually beneficial symbiosis requires the creation of applications in Ada that use and support XML, as well as, the use of XML to create Ada environments including XML based tools. These applications include: automated translation of Ada data types and objects in a specification to an XML schema; and conversely, automated translation of the data types and elements in an XML Schema to an Ada specification.
Interior Point Trajectories in Semidefinite Programming
Authors: D. Goldfarb, K. Scheinberg
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

In this paper we study interior point trajectories in semidefinite programming (SDP) including the central path of an SDP. This work was inspired by the seminal work of Megiddo on linear programming trajectories [ Progress in Math. Programming: Interior-Point Algorithms and Related Methods, N. Megiddo, ed., Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1989, pp. 131--158]. Under an assumption of primal and dual strict feasibility, we show that the primal and dual central paths exist and converge to the analytic centers of the optimal faces of, respectively, the primal and the dual problems. We consider a class of trajectories that are similar to the central path but can be constructed to pass through any given interior feasible or infeasible point, and study their convergence. Finally, we study the derivatives of these trajectories and their convergence.

Advances in Large Margin Classifiers
Authors: Alexander J. Smola, Peter J. Bartlett
Venue:  (2000)

:The concept of large margins is a unifying principle for the analysis of many different approaches to the classification of data from examples, including boosting, mathematical programming, neural networks, and support vector machines. The fact that it is the margin, or confidence level, of a classification--that is, a scale parameter--rather than a raw training error that matters has become a key tool for dealing with classifiers. This book shows how this idea applies to both the theoretical analysis and the design of algorithms. The book provides an overview of recent developments in large margin classifiers, examines connections with other methods (e.g., Bayesian inference), and identifies strengths and weaknesses of the method, as well as directions for future research. Among the contributors are Manfred Opper, Vladimir Vapnik, and Grace Wahba.
