The iron horse: a sound ride
Authors: Hanna Landin, Sus Lundgren, Johannes Prison
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

The Iron Horse combines modern technology with a childhood dream. It's a bike --- but its sounds like a horse. By biking at different speeds, one can get it to walk, trot or gallop. Sometimes it snorts, and it greets its owner and other iron horses with a neigh. In the project, we explored how to transfer the auditive expressions of horses into the art of cycling using computational technology, to stretch the boundaries of riding, cycling and interaction design. The technology should be an inspiration for the cyclist's fantasy; turning the playground into a jumping track, the way to school into a race, and the cycle path into a piece of the prairie

An Algebraic Model for Combinatorial Problems
Authors: Richard E. Stearns, Harry B. Hunt,  III
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (1996)

A new algebraic model, called the generalized satisfiability problem (GSP) model, is introduced for representing and solving combinatorial problems. The GSP model is an alternative to the common method in the literature of representing such problems as language-recognition problems. In the GSP model, a problem instance is represented by a set of variables together with a set of terms, and the computational objective is to find a certain sum of products of terms over a commutative semiring. The model is general enough to express all the standard problems about sets of clauses and generalized clauses, all nonserial optimization problems, and all $\{0,1\}$-linear programming problems. The model can also describe many graph problems, often in a very direct structure-preserving way. Two important properties of the model are the following: \begin{enumerate} \item In the GSP model, one can naturally discuss the structure of individual problem instances. The structure of a GSP instance is displayed in a "structure tree." The smaller the "weighted depth" or "channelwidth" of the structure tree for a GSP instance, the faster the instance can be solved by any one of several generic algorithms. \item The GSP model extends easily so as to apply to hierarchically specified problems and enables solutions to instances of such problems to be found directly from the specification rather than from the (often exponentially) larger specified object.

Venue:  (2000)

:Middleware Networks: Concept, Design and Deployment of Internet Infrastructure describes a framework for developing IP Service Platforms and emerging managed IP networks with a reference architecture from the AT&T Labs GeoPlex project. The main goal is to present basic principles that both the telecommunications industry and the Internet community can see as providing benefits for service-related network issues. As this is an emerging technology, the solutions presented are timely and significant. Middleware Networks: Concept, Design and Deployment of Internet Infrastructure illustrates the principles of middleware networks, including Application Program Interfaces (APIs), reference architecture, and a model implementation. Part I begins with fundamentals of transport, and quickly transitions to modern transport and technology. Part II elucidates essential requirements and unifying design principles for the Internet. These fundamental principles establish the basis for consistent behavior in view of the explosive growth underway in large-scale heterogeneous networks. Part III demonstrates and explains the resulting architecture and implementation. Particular emphasis is placed upon the control of resources and behavior. Reference is made to open APIs and sample deployments. Middleware Networks: Concept, Design and Deployment of Internet Infrastructure is intended for a technical audience consisting of students, researchers, network professionals, software developers, system architects and technically-oriented managers involved in the definition and deployment of modern Internet platforms or services. Although the book assumes a basic technical competency, as it does not provide remedial essentials, any practitioner will find this useful, particularly those requiring an overview of the newest software architectures in the field.

Recursive algorithm with C++ program for floating-point arithmetic
Authors: Sei-Jong Chung
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (1999)

Floating point Arithmetic is a topic included in virtually all textbooks for Computer Systems (CS 3: ACM's Curriculum Recommendation) or for Computer Organization (CS 4: ACM's Curriculum Recommendation). This paper presents a mathematical optimization model for the topic. The problem of converting real (float) numbers into binary equivalents is first modeled as a Zero-One Integer Programming problem. Then, a Recursive Algorithm is formulated for Floating-Point Formats. Computer programs are written in both C and C++ for a 32-bit floating-point format, using the recursive algorithm.

A method for plotting curves defined by implicit equations
Authors: Ephraim Cohen
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

A square chain of points is found that approximates a plane curve of the form F (x,y) =0. In case F (x,y) =0 represents a conic section, the method requires no multiplication or division, and so is well adapted to hardware or small computer software implementation. The algorithm may also be used to find approximate solutions of differential equations of the form F1dx + F2dy = 0.
Information Orientation: The Link to Business Performance
Authors: Donald A. Marchand, John D. Rollins, William J. Kettinger
Venue:  (2001)

:"In today's fast-moving, e-commerce economy information is power. For years companies have been investing in IT, expecting to develop their ability to exploit the power of information and achieve better business performance. Frequently, a company's investment has been a cost with no clear payback - a competitive necessity rather than a strategic advantage." "The authors have developed a clear and effective framework for evaluating IT strategies - Information Orientation. Information Orientation does this by determining the degree to which a company implements and realizes the synergies across three information capabilities: information behaviors and values; information management practices; and information technology practices. The book provides a thorough description of the dimensions of each of the capabilities, along with the analytical basis which validates the research finding that a company must integrate all three information capabilities as a precondition for achieving superior business performance."--BOOK JACKET.

Constraint-based design of optimal transport elements
Authors: Michael Drumheller
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

An airliner contains thousands of transport elements, such as tubes, hoses, and wires. Transport elements must be designed subject to many constraints. Some are extrinsic, involving factors such as clearance, slope, and stay-out/stayin zones. Others are intrinsic, involving factors such as bend angles and bend radii. A key problem is to design a feasible route that runs from A to B optimally (e.g., as short as possible). We describe an algorithm that allows "sketching" a route in terms of constraints. The user can rapidly explore trade-o.s between multiple optimal routes, making decisions and changes in terms of quantities directly related to engineering considerations. This e.ectively automates a tedious manual design process, potentially saving signi.cant amounts of time and money, as well as producing superior designs.
Modeling and rendering of realistic feathers
Authors: Yanyun Chen, Yingqing Xu, Baining Guo, Heung-Yeung Shum
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

We present techniques for realistic modeling and rendering of feathers and birds. Our approach is motivated by the observation that a feather is a branching structure that can be described by an L-system. The parametric L-system we derived allows the user to easily create feathers of different types and shapes by changing a few parameters. The randomness in feather geometry is also incorporated into this L-system. To render a feather realistically, we have derived an efficient form of the bidirectional texture function (BTF), which describes the small but visible geometry details on the feather blade. A rendering algorithm combining the L-system and the BTF displays feathers photorealistically while capitalizing on graphics hardware for efficiency. Based on this framework of feather modeling and rendering, we developed a system that can automatically generate appropriate feathers to cover different parts of a bird's body from a few "key feathers" supplied by the user, and produce realistic renderings of the bird.
