A Relative Error Tolerance for a Family of Generalized Proximal Point Methods
Authors: Regina Sandra Burachik, B. F. Svaiter
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

We propose a new kind of inexact scheme for a family of generalized proximal point methods for the monotone complementarity problem. These methods, studied by Auslender, Teboulle, and Ben-Tiba, converge under the sole assumption of existence of solutions. We prove convergence of our new scheme and discuss its implementability.
Near-Optimal Parameters for Tikhonov and Other Regularization Methods
Authors: Dianne P. O'Leary
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Choosing the regularization parameter for an ill-posed problem is an art based on good heuristics and prior knowledge of the noise in the observations. In this work, we propose choosing the parameter, without a priori information, by approximately minimizing the distance between the true solution to the discrete problem and the family of regularized solutions. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach for Tikhonov regularization and for an alternate family of solutions. Further, we prove convergence of the regularization parameter to zero as the standard deviation of the noise goes to zero.

C# and VB.Net Conversion Pocket Reference, 1st edition
Authors: Jose Mojica
Venue:  (2002)

:Though most programmers use two or more languages, they usually have a mastery of one. Although Microsoft has advertised that the .NET runtime is language agnostic and that C# and Visual Basic .NET are so close that switching between the two is really quite easy, that's only true up to a point. Some of the differences are obvious, but others are very subtle. C# & VB.NET Conversion Pocket Reference helps you easily make the switch from one language to another. The differences occur in three main areas: syntax, object-oriented principles, and the Visual Studio .NET IDE. Syntax concerns the statements and language elements. Object oriented differences are less obvious, and concern differences in implementation and feature sets between the two languages. IDE differences include things like compiler settings or attributes. There is also a fourth area of difference: language features that are present in one language but have no equivalent in the other. These unique language features are also covered in this book. C# & VB.NET Conversion Pocket Reference is a perfect companion for documents and books that don't have examples using your mastered language. Author Jose Mojica expects that you know one of the two languages, but does not make an assumption about which one. He presents the information in a language-neutral point of view so that programmers from either background can read a section and feel that it is targeted to them.

Safe Weak Minimization Revisited
Authors: Dieter Spreen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

Minimization operators of different strengths have been studied in the framework of "predicative (safe) recursion." In this paper, a modification of these operators is presented. By adding the new operator to those used by Bellantoni--Cook and Leivant to characterize the polynomial-time computable functions, one obtains a characterization of the nondeterministic polynomial-time computable multifunctions. Thus the generation of the nondeterministic polytime multifunctions from the deterministic polytime functions parallels the generation of the computable functions from the primitive recursive ones.

Auction Algorithms for Shortest Hyperpath Problems
Authors: R. De Leone, D. Pretolani
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

The auction-reduction algorithm is a strongly polynomial version of the auction method for the shortest path problem. In this paper we extend the auction-reduction algorithm to different types of shortest hyperpath problems in directed hypergraphs. The results of preliminary computational experiences show that the auction-reduction method is comparable to other known methods for specific classes of hypergraphs.

On the Reliability of Computing Wigner Texture Features
Authors: Svetlana Barsky, Maria Petrou
Venue: Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision (2002)

In this work we analyse the robustness of the computation of pseudo-Wigner texture features using both analytic and statistical methods. It is shown that if the input error is normally distributed and the SNR of the input is not very low (i.e. if SNR &ge; 3), then the output error is also normally distributed with known mean and variance. The error distribution in some typical simple signals is considered. The effects of quantisation are also investigated.
Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias
Authors: Peter Ludlow
Venue:  (2001)

:In Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias, Peter Ludlow extends the approach he used so successfully in High Noon on the Electronic Frontier, offering a collection of writings that reflect the eclectic nature of the online world, as well as its tremendous energy and creativity. This time the subject is the emergence of governance structures within online communities and the visions of political sovereignty shaping some of those communities. Ludlow views virtual communities as laboratories for conducting experiments in the construction of new societies and governance structures. While many online experiments will fail, Ludlow argues that given the synergy of the online world, new and superior governance structures may emerge. Indeed, utopian visions are not out of place, provided that we understand the new utopias to be fleeting localized "islands in the Net" and not permanent institutions. The book is organized in five sections. The first section considers the sovereignty of the Internet. The second section asks how widespread access to resources such as Pretty Good Privacy and anonymous remailers allows the possibility of "Crypto Anarchy" -- essentially carving out space for activities that lie outside the purview of nation-states and other traditional powers. The third section shows how the growth of e-commerce is raising questions of legal jurisdiction and taxation for which the geographic boundaries of nationstates are obsolete. The fourth section looks at specific experimental governance structures evolved by online communities. The fifth section considers utopian and anti-utopian visions for cyberspace.
HCI professionalism: ethical concerns in usability engineering
Authors: Oliver K. Burmeister
Venue: Selected papers from the second Australian Institute conference on Computer ethics (2000)

It has been argued that it is in the best interests of IT professionals, to adopt and enforce professional codes in the work place. Yet applying the Australian Computer Society's Code of Ethics in actual every day situations has been left to individuals. This paper aims to help usability engineers interpret the code. This is achieved by utilising five case studies both directly in terms of the ethical issues involved and in the light of the code. The paper also examines the short-comings of the code in the domain of usability engineering. The paper concludes with suggestions of how the code might be enhanced to better aid the HCI professional in their work.
Constraint-based motion planning for virtual prototyping
Authors: Maxim Garber, Ming C. Lin
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

We present a novel framework for motion planning of rigid and articulated robots in complex, dynamic, 3D environments and demonstrate its application to virtual prototyping. Our approach transforms the motion planning problem into the simulation of a dynamical system in which the motion of each rigid robot is subject to the influence of virtual forces induced by geometric constraints. These constraints may enforce joint connectivity and angle limits for articulated robots, spatial relationships between multiple collab-orative robots, or have a robot follow an estimated path to perform certain tasks in a sequence. Our algorithm works well in dynamic environments with moving obstacles and is applicable to challenging planning scenarios where multiple robots must move simultaneously to achieve a collision free path. We demonstrate its effectiveness for parts removal, automated car painting, and assembly line planning scenarios.
Median Selection Requires $(2+\epsilon)n$ Comparisons
Authors: Dorit Dor, Uri Zwick
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

Improving a long standing result of Bent and John [Proceedings of the 17th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, Providence, RI, 1985, pp. 213--216], and extending a recent result of Dor, Håstad, Ulfberg, and Zwick [ SIAM J. Discrete Math., 14 (2001), pp. 299--311], we obtain a $(2{+}\epsilon)n$ lower bound (for some fixed $\epsilon>0$) on the number of comparisons required, in the worst case, for selecting the median of n elements.
Finite Time--Horizon Risk-Sensitive Control and the Robust Limit under a Quadratic Growth Assumption
Authors: Francesca Da Lio, William M. McEneaney
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

The finite time--horizon risk-sensitive limit problem for continuous nonlinear systems is considered. Previous results are extended to cover more typical examples. In particular, the cost may grow quadratically, and the diffusion coefficient may depend on the state. It is shown that the risk-sensitive value function is the solution of the corresponding dynamic programming equation. It is also shown that this value converges to the value of the robust control problem as the cost becomes infinitely risk averse, with corresponding scaling of the diffusion coefficient.

Five paradigm shifts in programming language design and their realization in Viron, a dataflow programming environment
Authors: Vaughan Pratt
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1983)

We describe five paradigm shifts in programming language design, some old and some relatively new, namely Effect to Entity, Serial to Parallel, Partition Types to Predicate Types, Computable to Definable, and Syntactic Consistency to Semantic Consistency. We argue for the adoption of each. We exhibit a programming language, Viron, that capitalizes on these shifts.
