A Skeptic Assesses the Net as a Resource for Teaching
Authors: Robert M. Aiken
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (1999)

The purpose of the talk (and this paper) is to explore the advantages and disadvantages of providing courses, programs and degrees using On-Line Learning (OLL). It is the author's thesis that, yes, OLL does provide new opportunities for the delivery of education. However, we need to be very careful as to how we use this medium in order not to "reshape" courses which are more effectively taught in other (possibly more traditional) ways nor to embrace this mode of delivery simply for perceived economic gains.The rush of higher education institutions to place courses and programs on the Internet for distance education students raises some very interesting questions concerning their quality and value. The initial development of courses for online learning has been based on text based delivery --- for the most part using traditional lecture notes. The rapid sophistication brought about by html programming, advanced browsers, and template authorware on the one hand, and more sophisticated and powerful hardware and multimedia devices on the other, have permitted great strides in resource integration. Yet, for all of these technological advances, a number of problems still exist. The rest of this paper will explore some of these problems and offer some suggestions for solving them..

Information Society: A Retrospective View, 1st edition
Authors: Herbert S. Dordick, Georgette Wang
Venue:  (1993)

:We are told that the industrial age is declining and the information age is emerging. In this new age our lives will be cleaner, greener, more pleasant, more intellectual, and perhaps even less manic because we will value ideas rather than things. In the cusp of this new era are we better off today than we were yesterday? Why has information, information technology, and the information economy and society become so visible and assumed so much importance in our daily lives? To answer these and other questions, The Information Society examines 19 countries, which are categorized as high-, middle-, and low-income nations by their Gross Domestic Product per capita, to define "Informatization" along three primary dimensions: infrastructure, economic, and social. Dordick and Wang take a retrospective look at the information explosion of the past 20 years to see where we have been, what have been the consequences, and where we are now based on the forecasts and predictions made over the past two decades. This in-depth study will be of special interest to students and scholars in communication studies, technology/information systems, political science, sociology, and management and organization studies. The Information Society will also be of value to development planners and decision makers.

Generalized Polar Decompositions for the Approximation of the Matrix Exponential
Authors: A. Zanna, H. Z. Munthe-Kaas
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

In this paper we describe the use of the theory of generalized polar decompositions [H. Munthe-Kaas, G. R. W. Quispel, and A. Zanna, Found. Comput. Math., 1 (2001), pp. 297--324] to approximate a matrix exponential. The algorithms presented have the property that, if $Z \in {\frak{g}}$, a Lie algebra of matrices, then the approximation for exp(Z) resides in G, the matrix Lie group of ${\frak{g}}$. This property is very relevant when solving Lie-group ODEs and is not usually fulfilled by standard approximations to the matrix exponential. We propose algorithms based on a splitting of Z into matrices having a very simple structure, usually one row and one column (or a few rows and a few columns), whose exponential is computed very cheaply to machine accuracy. The proposed methods have a complexity of ${\cal O}(\kappa n^{3})$, with constant $\kappa$ small, depending on the order and the Lie algebra ${\frak{g}}$. % The algorithms are recommended in cases where it is of fundamental importance that the approximation for the exponential resides in G, and when the order of approximation needed is not too high. We present in detail algorithms up to fourth order.

Efficient partitioning of fragment shaders for multipass rendering on programmable graphics hardware
Authors: Eric Chan, Ren Ng, Pradeep Sen, Kekoa Proudfoot, Pat Hanrahan
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware (2002)

Real-time programmable graphics hardware has resource constraints that prevent complex shaders from rendering in a single pass. One way to virtualize these resources is to partition shading computations into multiple passes, each of which satisfies the given constraints. Many such partitions exist for a shader, but it is important to find one that renders efficiently. We present Recursive Dominator Split (RDS), a polynomial-time algorithm that uses a cost model to find near-optimal partitions of arbitrarily complex shaders. Using a simulator, we analyze partitions for architectures with different resource constraints and show that RDS performs well on different graphics architectures. We also demonstrate that shader partitions computed by RDS can run efficiently on programmable graphics hardware available today.
The implication and finite implication problems for typed template dependencies
Authors: Moshe Y. Vardi
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1982)

The class of typed template dependencies is a class of data dependencies that includes embedded multivalued and join dependencies. We show that the implication and the finite implication problems for this class are unsolvable. An immediate corollary is that this class has no formal system for finite implication. We also show how to construct a finite set of typed template dependencies whose implication and finite implication problems are unsolvable.The class of simple template dependencies is a proper subclass of the above class, and it generalizes slightly embedded join dependencies. It is shown that the implication and the finite implication problems for this class are also unsolvable. An immediate corollary is that this class has no formal system for either implication or finite implication.
