A novel and quick SVM-based multi-class classifier
Authors: Yiguang Liu, Zhisheng You, Liping Cao
Venue: Pattern Recognition (2006)

Use different real positive numbers p"i to represent all kinds of pattern categories, after mapping the inputted patterns into a special feature space by a non-linear mapping, a linear relation between the mapped patterns and numbers p"i is assumed, whose bias and coefficients are undetermined, and the hyper-plane corresponding to zero output of the linear relation is looked as the base hyper-plane. To determine the pending parameters, an objective function is founded aiming to minimize the difference between the outputs of the patterns belonging to a same type and the corresponding p"i, and to maximize the distance between any two different hyper-planes corresponding to different pattern types. The objective function is same to that of support vector regression in form, so the coefficients and bias of the linear relation are calculated by some known methods such as SVM^l^i^g^h^t approach. Simultaneously, three methods are also given to determine p"i, the best one is to determine them in training process, which has relatively high accuracy. Experiment results of the IRIS data set show that, the accuracy of this method is better than those of many SVM-based multi-class classifiers, and close to that of DAGSVM (decision-directed acyclic graph SVM), emphatically, the recognition speed is the highest.

Authors: Sk Ahad Ali, Hamid Seifoddini
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

The realistic simulation modeling becomes very essential and effective for designing and managing of manufacturing systems, which needs to be addressed manufacturing dynamics. This research includes manufacturing uncertainties in the form of simulation intelligence to improve the system's performance in the high-mix low-volume manufacturing systems. It shows how simulation modeling can be used to evaluate alternative designs in a dynamic uncertain manufacturing environment. Fuzzy rule based machine, labor and logistics uncertainties are addressed in this study. A combination of product mix and production volume is analyzed using intelligent simulation model for an optimal designing of the production system to meet future customer demands. Intelligent knowledge system shows significant close to real-life scenario. The proposed intelligent simulation modeling is validated with real life application.
Patterns: Soa Foundation Service Creation Scenario
Venue:  (2006)

This IBM Redbook provides an introduction to the IBM SOA Foundation, and includes a detailed implementation example for the Service Creation scenario. Part 1. "Getting started with IBM SOA Foundation,” includes an introduction to SOA from a business and architecture perspective. We describe the key elements of the IBM SOA Foundation, including the SOA life cycle, logical architecture, and SOA scenarios. Next we describe the Service Creation scenario in more detail since this is the focus of redbook example. We describe best practices and guidelines for SOA. In addition, we include a process for applying the SOA scenarios and patterns. Part 2 "Service Creation scenario example,” provides an end-to-end working example representative of the Service Creation scenario. We start by modeling the business requirements of a fictitious car rental company that has an existing J2EE based application. We demonstrate how to identify services using SOMA, and use a process for applying the SOA scenarios and reusable patterns to accelerate the creation of a solution architecture. The remaining chapters provide the implementation details to assemble using Rational Application Developer V6.0.1, deploy using WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.0.2, and manage the solution using Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA V6.0.

SuggestBot: using intelligent task routing to help people find work in wikipedia
Authors: Dan Cosley, Dan Frankowski, Loren Terveen, John Riedl
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2007)

Member-maintained communities ask their users to perform tasks the community needs. From Slashdot, to IMDb, to Wikipedia, groups with diverse interests create community-maintained artifacts of lasting value (CALV) that support the group's main purpose and provide value to others. Said communities don't help members find work to do, or do so without regard to individual preferences, such as Slashdot assigning meta-moderation randomly. Yet social science theory suggests that reducing the cost and increasing the personal value of contribution would motivate members to participate more.We present SuggestBot, software that performs intelligent task routing (matching people with tasks) in Wikipedia. SuggestBot uses broadly applicable strategies of text analysis, collaborative filtering, and hyperlink following to recommend tasks. SuggestBot's intelligent task routing increases the number of edits by roughly four times compared to suggesting random articles. Our contributions are: 1) demonstrating the value of intelligent task routing in a real deployment; 2) showing how to do intelligent task routing; and 3) sharing our experience of deploying a tool in Wikipedia, which offered both challenges and opportunities for research.
InDesign CS / CS2 Killer Tips
Authors: Scott Kelby, Terry White
Venue:  (2005)

If you've wondered how the InDesign pros get twice the work done in half the time, here's the answer: They know every inside tip, every hidden keyboard shortcut, and every little trick that gives them the edge. They know the fastest, smartest, and most efficient way to do just about everything. In short, they know all the "tricks of the trade." And now, you can too.This book is packed cover-to-cover, wall-to-wall with nothing but those cool little inside tips that can make you faster, better, and have more fun using Adobe InDesign CS2. There are no detailed descriptions on working with hyphenation dictionaries, or long boring discussions on color workflow, it's just tips--short, sweet, and to the point.So why just tips? When we (you, me, etc.) look at books, if we see the word "Tip" we're all immediately drawn to it. That's because we know we're about to learn something really cool. Maybe it's an undocumented keyboard shortcut, a hidden inside secret, or just a faster, better way to do something we do every day. The only problem with the tips in these books is there's never enough of 'em. That is, until now.We wanted to create a book that is nothing but these tips, hundreds of tips, but with the added bonus that each tip would have a full color graphic along with it, showing you exactly how it's done. Most importantly, to get in this book they've got to be "Killer Tips." The kind of tip that makes you smile, nod, and then call all your friends and "tune them up" with your new status as InDesign guru.This book is your ticket to working faster and smarter in Adobe InDesign CS2 than you ever thought you could, and best of all, you'll have a blast doing it.

System dynamics and agent-based simulations for workforce climate
Authors: Mario Marin, Yanshen Zhu, Phillip T. Meade, Melissa Sargent, Julie Warren
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

Many factors currently influence the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) workforce, including the drive for return to flight, a stated Shuttle Program end date of 2010, and the Vision for Space Exploration which calls for the development of a new launch vehicle. Additionally, external factors such as cost of living in Central Florida, availability of skilled technical hires, and unemployment rate affect the overall workforce climate. Managing human capital in a manner consistent with safety and mission success, and to strategically position the center to execute its future mission, it is necessary to understand how these different influencing factors work together to produce an overall workforce climate. We have been using System Dynamics models to capture some of these factors. These models are also the starting point of agent-based models which can capture particular features not possible with the original system dynamics models. This paper introduces our simulation modeling efforts.
Discrete event simulation for batch processing
Authors: Craig W. Alexander
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

This paper presents the modeling of batch processes using discrete event simulation. Discrete event simulation is often used for transactional-based processes; however, this paper describes an example of representing each batch as a single transaction in order to model process cycle time and utility usage. An example is provided to demonstrate the use of this method for simulating water-for-injection usage in a biopharmaceutical process.
Robust kinematic constraint detection for motion data
Authors: Benoît Le Callennec, Ronan Boulic
Venue: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics symposium on Computer animation (2006)

Motion capture data is now widely available to create realistic character animation. However, it is difficult to reuse without any additional information. For this reason, annotating motion data with kinematic constraints is a clever step to ease further operations such as blending or motion editing. Unfortunately, prior automatic methods prove to be unreliable for noisy data and/or lack genericity. In this paper, we present a method for detecting kinematic constraints for motion data. It detects when an object (or an end-effector) is stationary in space or is rotating around an axis or a point. Our method is fast, generic and may be used on any kind of objects in the scene. Furthermore, it is robust to highly noisy data as we detect and reject aberrant data by using a least median of squares (LMedS) method. We demonstrate the accuracy of our method in various motion editing contexts.

A methodology for the evaluation of web graph models and a test case
Authors: Antonios Kogias, Dimosthenis Anagnostopoulos
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

Valid models of the WWW are important for creating WWW-like representations, upon which new algorithms and applications for searching, indexing, compression etc. can be tested, but also for predicting the evolution of the web and the emergence of important new phenomena. In this study we introduce a validation process for web-graph models and use it to analyze the behavior of the Exponential Growth Copying Model, which has been explicitly designed to model the WWW. We study the effect of individual parameters on its effectiveness, suggest appropriate parameter values for the creation of web-like graphs and indicate inherent deficiencies of the model.
A general approach for all-to-all routing in multihop WDM optical networks
Authors: Weifa Liang, Xiaojun Shen
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2006)

WDM optical networks provide unprecedented high speed and reliability for message transfer among the nodes. All-to-all routing is a fundamental routing problem in such networks and has been well studied on single hop WDM networks. However, the number of wavelengths to realize all-to-all routing on the single hop model typically is very large. One way to reduce the number of wavelengths is to use k-hop routing, in which each routing path consists of k segments and each segment is assigned a different wavelength, where k usually is a small constant. Because of the complexity of design and analysis for such a routing problem, only few papers discussed and proposed all-to-all routing by k ≥ 2 hops. However, the proposed algorithms are usually exceeding complicated even for ring topologies. Often, an ad hoc approach is employed to deal with each individual topology.In this paper we propose a generic method for all-to-all routing in multi-hop WDM networks, which aims to minimize the number of wavelengths. We illustrate the approach for several optical networks of commonly used topology, including lines, rings, tori, meshes, and complete binary trees. For each case an upper bound on the number of wavelengths is obtained. The results show that this approach produces clear routing paths, requires less wavelengths, and can easily incorporate load balancing. For simple topologies such as lines and rings, this approach easily produces the same bounds on the number of wavelengths that were hard-obtained previously. Moreover, this general approach provides a unified routing algorithm for any d-dimensional torus, which seems impossible to obtain by the previous approach.

Multiresolution heterogeneous solid modeling and visualization using trivariate simplex splines
Authors: Jing Hua, Ying He, Hong Qin
Venue: Proceedings of the ninth ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2004)

This paper presents a new and powerful heterogeneous solid modeling paradigm for representing, modeling, and rendering of multi-dimensional, physical attributes across any volumetric objects. The modeled solid can be of complicated geometry and arbitrary topology. It is formulated using a trivariate simplex spline defined over a tetrahedral decomposition of any 3D domain. Heterogeneous material attributes associated with solid geometry can be modeled and edited by manipulating the control vectors and/or associated knots of trivariate simplex splines easily. The multiresolution capability is achieved by interactively subdividing any regions of interest and allocating more knots and control vectors accordingly. We also develop a feature-sensitive fitting algorithm that can reconstruct a more compact, continuous trivariate simplex spline from structured or unstructured volumetric grids. This multiresolution representation results from the adaptive and progressive tetrahedralization of the 3D domain. In addition, based on the simplex spline theory, we derive several theoretical formula and propose a fast direct rendering algorithm for interactive data analysis and visualization of the simplex spline volumes. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed paradigm augments the current modeling and visualization techniques with the new and unique advantages.

CPU Load Predictions on the Computational Grid*This research is conducted as a program for the "21st Century COE Program" by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan.
Authors: Yuanyuan Zhang, Wei Sun, Yasushi Inoguchi
Venue: IEICE - Transactions on Information and Systems (2007)

To make the best use of the resources in a shared grid environment, an application scheduler must make a prediction of available performance on each resource. In this paper, we examine the problem of predicting available CPU performance in time-shared grid system. We present and evaluate a new and innovative method to predict the one-step-ahead CPU load in a grid. Our prediction strategy forecasts the future CPU load based on the variety tendency in several past steps and in previous similar patterns, and uses a polynomial fitting method. Our experimental results on large load traces collected from four different kinds of machines demonstrate that this new prediction strategy achieves average prediction errors which are between 22% and 86% less than those incurred by four previous methods.
