The Information Mosaic: How Managers Get The Information They Really Need
Authors: Sharon M. McKinnon, William J. Bruns,  Jr.
Venue:  (1992)

:Modern managers are described as continually seeking, receiving, processing, and disseminating information. This book provides an eye-opening report on exactly what types of information managers want and need to make their decisions. In addition, it explains where and how managers actually get this information. The authors' research shows that many of accountants' most cherished reports are of marginal value; that PCs and data networks are expensive and underutilize capital assets in many settings; and that managers are getting their really important information from unexpected sources.
A lighting reproduction approach to live-action compositing
Authors: Paul Debevec, Andreas Wenger, Chris Tchou, Andrew Gardner, Jamie Waese, Tim Hawkins
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

We describe a process for compositing a live performance of an actor into a virtual set wherein the actor is consistently illuminated by the virtual environment. The Light Stage used in this work is a two-meter sphere of inward-pointing RGB light emitting diodes focused on the actor, where each light can be set to an arbitrary color and intensity to replicate a real-world or virtual lighting environment. We implement a digital two-camera infrared matting system to composite the actor into the background plate of the environment without affecting the visible-spectrum illumination on the actor. The color reponse of the system is calibrated to produce correct color renditions of the actor as illuminated by the environment. We demonstrate moving-camera composites of actors into real-world environments and virtual sets such that the actor is properly illuminated by the environment into which they are composited.
A survey of the modelling and rendering of the earth's atmosphere
Authors: Jaroslav Sloup
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th spring conference on Computer graphics (2002)

One of the extensively researched fields in todays computer graphics are techniques for simulation and visualisation of various natural phenomena. This state of the art report is a survey of the methods for modelling and rendering of the cloudless Earth's atmosphere and related light effects. A physically based lighting model describing the light propagation through the atmosphere is presented. The model takes into account absorption and scattering by particles suspended in the atmosphere and can be used for computing the colour of the sky. Combining the lighting model with the various atmospheric constituents (clear dry air, aerosols, ice crystals) and their properties one can reproduce lighting effects such as rainbow, halo or colour of the sky during the sunset. We also collect the relevant informations of the physical properties of the major atmospheric constituents.

AutoCAD 2002 Complete, 1st edition
Authors: Bill Burchard, David Pitzer, Art Liddle
Venue:  (2001)

:This highly engaging, fast-paced manual is written by experts who will power readers through the ins and outs of using AutoCAD 2002 while sharing first-hand knowledge of how it is being used in today's professional marketplaces to generate 2D drawings as well as create and render sophisticated 3D models. Extraordinarily complete, yet markedly concise, AutoCAD 2002: Complete is an essential how-to book and long-lasting reference that begins by leading readers to a solid understanding of how to start new projects, control the drawing environment, and organize drawings using AutoCAD's layers. Numerous step-by-step examples and hands-on exercises allow readers to move quickly into creating and editing 2D drawings, including annotating, hatching, dimensioning and plotting. The book then expands upon this expertise by introducing and explaining clearly, yet succinctly how to take full advantage of AutoCAD's 3D modeling tools to generate first-quality drawings, surfaces, solid models and renderings. A final chapter is also included to help readers navigate through advanced topics with emphasis on developing "in demand" skills such as photo-realistic rendering, object linking and embedding (OLE), plus working with external databases. All topics are introduced in a logical and progressive sequence, enabling novices to advance quickly to proficiency. And, because examples and exercises increase in number and variety as topics become more complex, readers with prior experience using earlier AutoCAD releases (or other CAD applications) can zero-in easily on the specific AutoCAD 2002 tools and techniques that interest to them.
Handling irreducible loops: optimized node splitting versus DJ-graphs
Authors: Sebastian Unger, Frank Mueller
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2002)

This paper addresses the question of how to handle irreducible regions during optimization, which has become even more relevant for contemporary processors since recent VLIW-like architectures highly rely on instruction scheduling. The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, a method of optimized node splitting to transform irreducible regions of control flow into reducible regions is formally defined and its correctness is shown. This method is superior to approaches previously published since it reduces the number of replicated nodes by comparison. Second, three methods that handle regions of irreducible control flow are evaluated with respect to their impact on compiler optimizations. First, traditional node splitting is evaluated. Second, optimized node splitting is implemented. Third, DJ-Graphs are utilized to recognize nesting of irreducible (and reducible) loops and apply common loop optimizations extended for irreducible loops. Experiments compare the performance of these approaches with unrecognized irreducible loops that cannot be subject to loop optimizations, which is typical for contemporary compilers. Measurements show improvements of 1 to 40&percnt; for these methods of handling irreducible loops over the unoptimized case. Optimized node splitting may be chosen to retrofit existing compilers since it has the advantage that it only requires few changes to an optimizing compiler while limiting the code growth of compiled programs compared to traditional node splitting. Recognizing loops via DJ-Graphs should be chosen for new compiler developments since it requires more changes to the optimizer but does not significantly change the code size of compiled programs while yielding comparable improvements. Handling irreducible loops should even yield more benefits for exploiting instruction-level parallelism of modern architectures in the context of global instruction scheduling and optimization techniques that may introduce irreducible loops, such as enhanced modulo scheduling.
Reducing Cache Conflicts by Multi-Level Cache Partitioning and Array Elements Mapping
Authors: Chih-Yung Chang, Jang-Ping Sheu, Hsi-Chiuen Chen
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2002)

This article presents an algorithm to reduce cache conflicts and improve cache localities. The proposed algorithm analyzes locality reference space for each reference pattern, partitions the multi-level cache into several parts with different sizes, and then maps array data onto the scheduled cache positions to eliminate cache conflicts. A greedy method for rearranging array variables in declared statement is also developed, to reduce the memory overhead for mapping arrays onto a partitioned cache. Besides, loop tiling and the proposed schemes are combined to exploit opportunities for both temporal and spatial reuse. Atom is used as a tool to develop a simulation of the behavior of the direct-mapping cache to demonstrate that our approach is effective at reducing number of cache conflicts and exploiting cache localities. Experimental results reveal that applying the cache partitioning scheme can greatly reduce the cache conflicts and thus save program execution time in both single-level cache and multi-level cache hierarchies.

A multi-agent study of interethnic cooperation
Authors: Vladimir Kvasnička, Jiři Pospíchal
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

This purpose of this communication is to present an evolutionary study of cooperation between two ethnic groups. The used approach is reformulated in a form of evolutionary prisoner's dilemma method, where a population of strategies is evolved by applying simple reproduction process with a Darwin metaphor of natural selection (a probability of selection to the reproduction I s proportional to a fitness). Our computer simulations show that an application of a principle of collective quilt does not lead to an emergence of an interethnic cooperation. When an administrator is introduced, then an emergence of interethnic cooperation may be observed. Furthermore, if the ethnic groups are of very different sizes, then the principle of collective guilt may be very devastating for smaller group so that intraethnic cooperation is destroyed. The second strategy of cooperation is called the personal responsibility, where agents that defected within interethnic interactions are punished inside of their ethnic groups. It means, unlikely to the principle of collective guilt, there exists only one type of punishment, loosely speaking, agents are punished "personally".

On induced Ramsey numbers
Authors: Izolda Gorgol, Tomasz Luczak
Venue: Discrete Mathematics (2002)

The induced Ramsey number IR(G,H) is defined as the smallest integer n, for which there exists a graph F on n vertices such that any 2-colouring of its edges with red and blue leads to either a red copy of G induced in F, or an induced blue H. In this note, we study the value of the induced Ramsey numbers, as well as their planar and weak versions, for some special classes of graphs. In particular, we show that, for the induced planar Ramsey numbers, the fact whether we prohibit monochromatic copies induced in the graph, or induced just in its own colour, may significantly affect the value of the Ramsey number.

Smart Machines in Education
Venue:  (2001)

:Multimedia, simulation, computer-mediated communication networks, and distance learning have all become part of the educational toolkit. The next major technology to change the face of education will be based on the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI). Progress in AI has led to a deeper understanding of how to represent knowledge, to reason, and to describe procedural knowledge. Progress in cognitive science has led to a deeper understanding of how people think, solve problems, and learn. AI scientists use results from cognitive science to create software with more humanlike abilities, which can help students learn better. This book looks at some of the results of this synergy among AI, cognitive science, and education. Examples include virtual students whose misconceptions force students to reflect on their own knowledge, intelligent tutoring systems, and speech recognition technology that helps students learn to read. Some of the systems described are already used in classrooms and have been evaluated; a few are still laboratory efforts. The book also addresses cultural and political issues involved in the deployment of new educational technologies.

TREE: an interactive system for editing tree structures
Authors: J. W. Lewis
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

Many existing systems provide extensive facilities for entry and manipulation of text. Typical of these are QED (Bell Telephone), TECO (MIT), TVEDIT (Stanford), and E (Yale). Text entry, insertion, deletion, search, and display are all performed interactively with a small number of key strokes. Unfortunately, similarly powerful and general interactive tools for editing of more general data structures have not been available.The system TREE provides these interactive editing facilities for tree structures. TREE enables insertion, deletion, copying, search, and display of any branch of a given tree structure. Any tree, whether a syntax tree, a decision tree, or a LISP program could be entered rapidly and changed quickly in TREE. The program itself is coded in PDP10 FORTRAN IV and will run with any of a number of inexpensive graphics terminals. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.
