Some contributions to nonmonotonic consequence
Authors: Zhu Zhaohui, Zhang Dongmo, Chen Shifu, Zhu Wujia
Venue: Journal of Computer Science and Technology (2001)

This paper introduces a non-Horn rule WRM which is a weak form of rational monotony. We explore the effects of adding this non-Horn rule to the rules for the preferential inference. In this paper, a relational &tilde; is said to be P + WRM if it is a preferential inference and satisfies the rule WRM. We establish the representation theorem for P + WRM, and compare the strength of WRM with some non-Horn rules appearing in literatures. Moreover, we explore the relation between P + WRM and conditional logic, and demonstrate that P + WRM is equivalent to 'flat' fragment of conditional logic CS4.2. Another contribution of this paper is to explore the relation between two special kinds of preferential models, i.e., PRC model and quasi-linear model. Main result reveals that the latter is a special form of the former.
Design of experiments: experimental design for simulation
Authors: W. David Kelton
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This tutorial introduces some of the ideas, issues, challenges, solutions, and opportunities in deciding how to experiment with a simulation model to learn about its behavior. Careful planning, or designing, of simulation experiments is generally a great help, saving time and effort by providing efficient ways to estimate the effects of changes in the model's inputs on its outputs. Traditional experimental-design methods are discussed in the context of simulation experiments, as are the broader questions pertaining to planning computer-simulation experiments.
Towards effective and interpretable data mining by visual interaction
Authors: Charu C. Aggarwal
Venue: ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter (2002)

The primary aim of most data mining algorithms is to facilitate the discovery of concise and interpretable information from large amounts of data. However, many of the current formalizations of data mining algorithms have not quite reached this goal. One of the reasons for this is that the focus on using purely automated techniques has imposed several constraints on data mining algorithms. For example, any data mining problem such as clustering or association rules requires the specification of particular problem formulations, objective functions, and parameters. Such systems fail to take the user's needs into account very effectively. This makes it necessary to keep the user in the loop in a way which is both efficient and interpretable. One unique way of achieving this is by leveraging human visual perceptions on intermediate data mining results. Such a system combines the computational power of a computer and the intuitive abilities of a human to provide solutions which cannot be achieved by either. This paper will discuss a number of recent approaches to several data mining algorithms along these lines.

Case studies and exercises make you think about the issues and the ethical implications of actual incidents, such as the Internet Worm, the Therac-25 accidents, and the Intel-AMD copyright infringement suit. Bowyer stresses the need to live responsibly by protecting the environment and health of coworkers and ensuring that work practices are impartial to race, religion, gender, and nationality. The final chapter contains advice on how to manage your career so as to maximize your success and personal satisfaction. The book is excellent as a text or for self-study. The material is designed to support any course that meets the accreditation requirements of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology or the Computing Science Accreditation Board. The technical details are presented in a lucid and informal way that invites self-study, and the many pointers to additional readings, both in paper publications and sources on the world wide web, will be helpful to anyone who wants to investigate a particular topic in more depth. Bowyer has brought together a rich collection of up-to-date articles on topics of great interest to computing professionals.

Cartoon dioramas in motion
Authors: Ramesh Raskar, Remo Ziegler, Thomas Willwacher
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (2002)

Cartoon animations delight the audience with moving characters but they remain on a flat 2D screen. The cartoon dioramas, on the other hand, are detailed, three-dimensional and allow physical interaction but they are static. We present techniques to combine the two in some limited cases. We illuminate static physical models with projectors. The images are generated with real time three dimensional computer graphics. We describe a system to demonstrate various visual effects such as non-photorealistic shading, apparent motion and virtual lighting on a toy-car model.
Application of simulation for manufacturing processes improvements: using simulation techniques for continuous process verification in industrial system development
Authors: Par Klingstam, Bengt-Goran Olsson
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The purpose of this paper is to describe how discrete event simulation should be used as a tool for continuous process verification in industrial system development. Results include a specification of the working procedures to be used in each life cycle phase of a development project, as well as a definition of the areas where efforts are needed in the future. The approach assures continuous verification of the processes, which will lead to better decisions early on. Better decisions imply reduction in time and costs as well as systems with high quality. In conclusion, using simulation techniques for continuous process verification makes us more likely to develop an optimal industrial solution.
