On Uniqueness of Lagrange Multipliers in Optimization Problems Subject to Cone Constraints
Authors: Alexander Shapiro
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

In this paper we study uniqueness of Lagrange multipliers in optimization problems subject to cone constraints. The main tool in our investigation of this question will be a calculus of dual (polar) cones. We give sufficient and in some cases necessary conditions for uniqueness of Lagrange multipliers in general Banach spaces. General results are then applied to two particular examples of the semidefinite and semi-infinite programming problems, respectively.

Scalability and information agents
Authors: Ralph Deters
Venue: ACM SIGAPP Applied Computing Review (2001)

Having fast and dependable access to the most relevant information available is of the utmost importance in a competitive information-oriented society. Ensuring transparent and dependable access to a large number of heterogeneous, ill-structured and often distributed data and information sources is a complex problem with many different facets. Over time a large variety of very different approaches have been developed. Among the many competing approaches, information agents seem to be particularly well suited to the challenges of the information cyberspace due to their highly adaptive and distributed problem solving. Only information agents seem capable to offer the much needed user centric access to the myriads of data and information sources accessible via the web. But just like other agents, they require significant computational resources making it difficult to build scalable systems.This paper has two aims. First it is an attempt to draw attention to the scalability challenges in developing systems consisting of large numbers of information agents. Second, it presents a CORBA based framework called DICE for building information agents and reports about its use in developing real world systems based on information agents.

Microsoft Management Console Design and Development Kit
Authors: Microsoft Corporation
Venue:  (2000)

:The MMC console is a Windows-based multiple document interface (MDI) application that heavily leverages Internet technologies. Both Microsoft and ISVs extend the console by writing MMC Snap-Ins, which are responsible for actually performing management tasks. The MMC programmatic interfaces permit the snap-ins to integrate with the console. These interfaces deal only with user interface extensions how each snap-In actually performs tasks is entirely up to the snap-iIn. The snap-in's relationship with the console is in sharing a common hosting environment, and in cross-application integration. The console itself offers no management behavior. Both Microsoft and ISVs can develop management tools to run in MMC, and both Microsoft and ISVs can write applications to be managed by MMC administrative tools.
Multilevel approximation of boundary integral operators
Authors: Klaus Gibermann
Venue: Computing (2001)

In this paper we consider a multilevel approximation of boundary element matrices as they arise from the discretization of boundary element matrices as they arise from the discretization of boundary integral equations by Galerkins method. Our main emphasis lies in the numerical treatment of boundary integral equations defined on complex detailed two-dimensional manifolds in the three dimensional space. Although we do not assume that the underlying discretization has any hierarchical structure we present a scheme which provides us with a suitable hierarchy. Under reasonable assumptions on the kernel of the integral operator our multilevel approximation leads to a significant compression of the stiffness matrix without loosing the asymptotic approximation property of Galerkins method. An application of this approximation is the fast matrix multiplication which is needed in an iterative solution process.

On specifying verifiers
Authors: V. R. Pratt
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1980)

The goal of automatic program verification is to prove programs correct formally. We argue that the existing notions of formal proof are too syntactic and as such too intimately bound up with details of low-level computation. We propose a more semantic notion of formal proof which nevertheless pays due respect to the problem of effectiveness in proof checking. Such a notion supplies a more practical basis for the specification of verifiers than do extant approaches. In particular the problem of constructing verifiers according to our approach is reduced entirely to routine development and implementation of decision methods, while permitting shorter proofs and yet remaining easy to develop proofs with.

SpecSyn: an environment supporting the specify-explore-refine paradigm for hardware/software system design
Authors: Daniel D. Gajski, Frank Vahid, Sanjiv Narayan, Jie Gong
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

System-level design issues are gaining increasing attention, as behavioral synthesis tools and ethodologies mature. We present the SpecSyn system-level design environment, which supports the new specify- explore-refine (SER) design paradigm. This three-step approach to design includes precise specification of system functionality, rapid exploration of numerous system-level design options, and refinement of the specification into one reflecting the chosen option. A system-level design option consists of an allocation of system components, such as standard and custom processors, memories, and buses and a partitioning of functionality among those components. After refinement, the functionality assigned to each component can then be synthesized to hardware or compiled to software. We describe the issues and approaches for each part of the SpecSyn environment. The new paradigm and environment are expected to lead to a more than ten times reduction in design time, and our experiments support this expectation.

Autocheck program, program to check validity of printed circuit cards and circuit usage
Authors: Donald J. McGinnis
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

The Autocheck program is used to validate the routing of etched wiring on PC cards for the present generation of computer systems under development. Additionally, it validates the manual assignments of logic gates to integrated circuits, the pin assignments on these integrated circuits, and performs some additional non-logic checks. The position of this program in the chain beginning with the Master Data Bank (the complete set of logic equations for a computer system which is used for gate level logical simulation) and ending with the individual PC card test routines is discussed. The Autotape program (which drives the automatic drafting machine) is discussed, particularly as to the checks it makes, and its place in the automatic validation chain.

The greedy path-merging algorithm for contig scaffolding
Authors: Daniel H. Huson, Knut Reinert, Eugene W. Myers
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

Given a collection of contigs and mate-pairs. The Contig Scaffolding Problem is to order and orientate the given contigs in a manner that is consistent with as many mate-pairs as possible. This paper describes an efficient heuristic called the greedy-path merging algorithm for solving this problem. The method was originally developed as a key component of the compartmentalized assembly strategy developed at Celera Genomics. This interim approach was used at an early stage of the sequencing of the human genome to produce a preliminary assembly based on preliminary whole genome shotgun data produced at Celera and preliminary human contigs produced by the Human Genome Project.
