IE5, XML AND XSL Programmer's Reference
Authors: Alex Homer, Alex Horner
Venue:  (1999)

:This book is about the support available in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 for XML and its associated technologies, such as Extended Stylesheet pported XML through a series of ActiveX controls and Java applets that could be embedded into a Web page, and which could parse and display data contained within an XML-format file. So, who is this book for? The answer is everyone who is involved in creating Web pages or Web-based applications. XML still looks to be the best (and only) way for Web page definition and construction to move forward into the future. HTML will not die. But as the levels of (hopefully compatible) browser support grow, XML will take over more and more of the tasks of defining the transport of data within Web pages, the definition of styles and the appearance of elements, and control over the way that the data is displayed.

Application level performance optimizations for CORBA-based systems
Authors: Weili Tao, Shikharesh Majumdar
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

Middleware provides inter-operability in a heterogeneous distributed object computing environment. Common Object Request Broker (CORBA) is a standard for middleware proposed by OMG. Although inter-operability is achieved middleware often introduces overheads that impair system performance. This research is concerned with performance enhancement of CORBA-based systems by deploying appropriate techniques at the application level. The paper demonstrates that decisions made by the application software designer and programmer can have a large impact on the performance of a CORBA-based system. The paper presents a set of guidelines that can be used at the design and implementation levels for enhancing system performance. We focus on issues such as reduction of connection set up latency, appropriate techniques for parameter passing, impact of method placement on response time, performance implications of different ways of packing objects in servers and load balancing. Insights into system behavior that highlight the effectiveness of the guidelines as well as capture the relationship between the CORBA compliant middleware and overall application performance are presented.

A framework for understanding distributed (deadlock detection) algorithms
Authors: Henry F. Korth, Ravi Krishnamurthy, Anil Nigam, John T. Robinson
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

Distributed algorithms tend to be difficult to understand and even more difficult to prove correct. Using distributed dead-lock detection as a running example this paper presents a framework for stating, understanding, and proving the correctness of distributed algorithms for decision problems. The framework consists of a series of complexity levels. To simplify the initial levels, we treat the data structure of the algorithm as a database, and use the database notions of views and transaction atomicity. For each complexity level, we state theorems that need to be proved for each algorithm. The framework is illustrated using several existing deadlock detection algorithms. Finally, it is shown that the framework suggests new algorithms using the best features of several existing algorithms.
Readings in Planning, 1st edition
Authors: Austin (Ed.) Tate, James (Ed.) Hendler
Venue:  (1994)

:Although numerous review articles on planning have appeared over the years, no systematic attempt has been made to collect the major papers in this field into one volume. The goal of this book is to remedy this situation by bringing together in one place a set of readings that can be used to develop a familiarity with the planning literature, with the major AI theory underlying planning, and with the exciting directions of current research. The first section of the book introduces the techniques and terminology of the AI planning community. The second section collects papers describing planning systems developed over the past 30 years. A third section presents research in the area of formal models of planning. Finally, a fourth section collects recent work representative of the field's current direction. The editors, three accomplished researchers, provide introductory material surveying the field of planning as well as introductions to groups of papers placing the work in perspective. A useful reference for AI system developers and researchers, this work is also suitable for use as a text for a planning course or as a supplemental text for a more general AI course.

Application of parallel implicit methods to edge-plasma numerical simulations
Authors: T. D. Rognlien, X. Q. Xu, A. C. Hindmarsh
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

A description is given of the parallelization algorithms and results for two codes used extensively to model edge plasmas in magnetic fusion energy devices. The codes are UEDGE, which calculates two-dimensional plasma and neutral gas profiles over long equilibrium time scales, and BOUT, which calculates three-dimensional plasma turbulence using experimental or UEDGE profiles. Both codes describe the plasma behavior using fluid equations. A domain decomposition model is used for parallelization by dividing the global spatial simulation region into a set of domains. This approach allows the use of a recently developed Newton-Krylov numerical solver, PVODE. Results show nearly an order of magnitude speedup in execution time for the plasma transport equations with UEDGE when the time-dependent system is integrated to steady state. A limitation that is identified for UEDGE is the inclusion of the (unmagnetized) fluid gas equations on a highly anisotropic mesh. The speedup of BOUT scales nearly linearly up to 64 processors and gets an additional speedup factor of 3-6 by using the fully implicit Newton-Krylov solver compared to an Adams predictor corrector. The turbulent transport coefficients obtained from BOUT guide the use of anomalous transport models within UEDGE, with the eventual goal of a self-consistent coupling.

Power-conscious interconnect buffer optimization with improved modeling of driver MOSFET and Its implications to bulk and SOI CMOS technology
Authors: Koichi Nose, Takayasu Sakurai
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Closed-form formulas for optimum buffer insertion where the junction capacitance is taken into account are proposed. In order to use the derived formulas, an appropriate choice of the effective linear resistance of the driving transistor is also clarified.Using the proposed formulas, the optimum interconnect delay and power comparison between bulk and SOI CMOS technology are discussed.The calculation results show that both the optimum delay and power with SOI can be reduced by 15% compared with the bulk MOSFET whose junction capacitance is assumed to be equal to the gate capacitance.
RNG and internal node based broadcasting algorithms for wireless one-to-one networks
Authors: Mahtab Seddigh, Julio Solano González, Ivan Stojmenovic
Venue: ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review (2001)

In a multihop wireless network, each node has a transmission radius and is able to send a message to one of its neighbors (one-to-one) or all of its neighbors (one-to-all) that are located within the radius. In a broadcasting task, a source node needs to send the same message to all the nodes in the network. In this paper, we propose to reduce the communication overhead of broadcasting algorithm for one-to-one model by applying the concepts of planar graphs such as RNG (relative neighborhood graphs) and connected dominating sets determined by internal nodes. Regular message exchanges between neighbors, which include location updates or signal strengths, suffice to maintain these structures, and they therefore do not impose additional communication overhead. In internal node based broadcasting, messages are forwarded on the edges that connect two internal nodes, and on edges that connect each non-internal node with its closest internal node. A neighbor elimination scheme is added to the internal node concept, to improve its performance. Similarly, only edges in a planar subgraph may be used for retransmissions. The reduction in communication overhead for broadcasting task, with respect to existing methods, is measured experimentally. The number of retransmissions is reduced to about 50% for sparse networks and to about 5% for dense networks, and the overhead with respect to ideal solution is up to 20% (for 100 nodes).
Order Estimates in Time of Splitting Methods for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
Authors: Christophe Besse, Brigitte Bidégaray, Stéphane Descombes
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation $u_t+i\Delta u -F(u)=0$ in two dimensions. We show, by an operator-theoretic proof, that the well-known Lie and Strang formulae (which are splitting methods) are approximations of the exact solution of order 1 and 2 in time.
Sparse universal graphs
Authors: Noga Alon, Vera Asodi
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

For every n, we describe an explicit construction of a graph on n vertices with at most O(n2-ɛ) edges, for ɛ = 0.133..., that contains every graph on n vertices with maximum degree 3 as a subgraph. It is easy to see that each such graph must have at least Ω(n4/3) edges. We also show that the minimum number of edges of a graph that contains every graph with n edges as a subgraph is Δ(n2/(log2n)). This improves a result of Babai, Chung, Erdös, Graham and Spencer (Ann. Discrete Math. 12 (1982) 21-26).

Modeling genre ecologies
Authors: Clay Spinuzzi
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

The genre ecology framework is an analytical framework for studying how people use multiple artifacts - such as documentation, interfaces, and annotations - to mediate their work activities. Unlike other analytical frameworks, the genre ecology framework has been developed particularly for technical communication research, particularly in its emphasis on interpretation, contingency, and stability. Although this framework shows much promise, it is more of a heuristic than a formal modeling tool; it helps researchers to pull together impressions, similar to contextual design's work models, but it has not been implemented as formally as distributed cognition's functional systems.In this paper, I move toward a formal modeling of genre ecologies. First, I describe the preliminary results of an observational study of seven workers in two different functional teams of a medium-sized telecommunications company (a subset of a larger, 89-worker study). I use these preliminary results to develop a model of the genres used by these two teams, how those genres interconnect to co-mediate the workers' activities, and the breakdowns that the workers encounter as genres travel across the boundaries of the two teams. I conclude by (a) describing how formal models of genre ecologies can help in planning and designing computer documentation and (b) discussing how these models can be further developed.
