Survivable Networks: Algorithms for Diverse Routing
Authors: Ramesh Bhandari
Venue:  (1998)

:Survivable Networks: Algorithms for Diverse Routingprovides algorithms for diverse routing to enhance the survivabilityof a network. It considers the common mesh-type network and describesin detail the construction of physically disjoint paths algorithms fordiverse routing. The algorithms are developed in a systematic manner,starting with shortest path algorithms appropriate for disjoint pathsconstruction. Key features of the algorithms are optimality andsimplicity. Although the algorithms have been developed forsurvivability of communication networks, they are in a generic form,and thus applicable in other scientific and technical disciplines toproblems that can be modeled as a network. A notable highlight of this book is the consideration of real-lifetelecommunication networks in detail. Such networks are described notonly by nodes and links, but also by the actual physical elements,called span nodes and spans. The sharing of spans (the actual physicallinks) by the network (logical) links complicates the network,requiring new algorithms. This book is the first one to providealgorithms for such networks. Survivable Networks: Algorithms for Diverse Routing is acomprehensive work on physically disjoint paths algorithms. It is aninvaluable resource and reference for practicing network designers andplanners, researchers, professionals, instructors, students, andothers working in computer networking, telecommunications, and relatedfields.
Empirical bayes screening for multi-item associations
Authors: William DuMouchel, Daryl Pregibon
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

This paper considers the framework of the so-called "market basket problem", in which a database of transactions is mined for the occurrence of unusually frequent item sets. In our case, "unusually frequent" involves estimates of the frequency of each item set divided by a baseline frequency computed as if items occurred independently. The focus is on obtaining reliable estimates of this measure of interestingness for all item sets, even item sets with relatively low frequencies. For example, in a medical database of patient histories, unusual item sets including the item "patient death" (or other serious adverse event) might hopefully be flagged with as few as 5 or 10 occurrences of the item set, it being unacceptable to require that item sets occur in as many as 0.1% of millions of patient reports before the data mining algorithm detects a signal. Similar considerations apply in fraud detection applications. Thus we abandon the requirement that interesting item sets must contain a relatively large fixed minimal support, and adopt a criterion based on the results of fitting an empirical Bayes model to the item set counts. The model allows us to define a 95% Bayesian lower confidence limit for the "interestingness" measure of every item set, whereupon the item sets can be ranked according to their empirical Bayes confidence limits. For item sets of size J > 2, we also distinguish between multi-item associations that can be explained by the observed J(J-1)/2 pairwise associations, and item sets that are significantly more frequent than their pairwise associations would suggest. Such item sets can uncover complex or synergistic mechanisms generating multi-item associations. This methodology has been applied within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to databases of adverse drug reaction reports and within AT&T to customer international calling histories. We also present graphical techniques for exploring and understanding the modeling results.

Designing Addressing Architectures for Routing and Switching, 1st edition
Authors: Howard C. Berkowitz
Venue:  (1998)

:One of the greatest challenges for a network design professional is making visible the users, servers, files, printers, and other resources. It is not possible to just pick a catchy name for the server when designing a network, it involves such issues as IP address assignments, security, traffic management, and well-executed DNS services. Designing Addressing Architectures for Routing and Switching equips the network engineer or architect with a systematic methodology for planning the wide area and local area network "streets" on which users and servers live.

Best-Match Retrieval for Structured Images
Authors: Alfredo Ferro, Giovanni Gallo, Rosalba Giugno, Alfredo Pulvirenti
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2001)

This paper propose a new methodology for fast best-match retrieval of structured images. A triangle inequality property for the tree-distance introduced by Oflazer [17] is proven. This property is, in turn, applied to obtain a saturation algorithm of the trie used to store the database of the collection of pictures. The new approach can be considered as a substantial optimization of Oflazer's technique and can be applied to the retrieval of homogeneous hierarchically structured objects of any kind. The new technique inscribes itself in the number of distance-based search strategies and it is of interest for the indexing and maintenance of large collections of historical and pictorial data. We demonstrate the proposed approach on an example and report data about the speed-up that it introduces in query processing. Direct comparison with MVP-trees algorithm is also presented.

Variability in predator-prey experiments: simulation using a stochastic model
Authors: Grace M. Buettner, William Siler
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

Simulation of several actual predator-prey experiments was carried out, using a stochastic version of the Lotka-Volterra equations. Great variability was found from run to run, with occasional extinction of either predator or prey with the same parameters. It is suggested that single experimental runs are very unreliable for parameter estimation, multiple replicates of experiments being necessary. It was not found necessary to postulate such mechanisms as hiding places for most experimental results, the discrete stochastic equations being adequate for this purpose.
A RED discard strategy for ATM networks and its performance evaluation with TCP/IP traffic
Authors: Vincent Rosolen, Olivier Bonaventure, Guy Leduc
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (1999)

In ATM UBR networks supporting TCP traffic, optimal efficiency can only be envisaged if switches adopt a discard mechanism that operates at the packet level rather than the cell level. In this paper, we define a variant of the RED discard strategy suitable for ATM switches. An interesting feature of this ATM-RED is that it has a similar per-VC implementation complexity as the Early Packet Discard (EPD) algorithm. To study the efficiency of the ATM-RED discard strategy, we compare its performance with plain the UBR, EPD and Fair Buffer Acceptance (FBA) discard strategies by means of simulation with TCP/IP traffic. We give comparative results with respect to different performance criteria such as goodput and fairness in various environments, such as end-to-end ATM networks and IP-based networks with an ATM backbone, in both single-bottlenecked and GFC topologies.

Predicting the relevance of a library catalog search
Authors: Micheal D. Cooper
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

Relevance has been a difficult concept to define, let alone measure. In this paper, a simple operational definition of relevance is proposed for a Web-based library catalog: whether or not during a search session the user saves, prints, mails, or downloads a citation. If one of those actions is performed, the session is considered relevant to the user. An analysis is presented illustrating the advantages and disadvantages of this definition. With this definition and good transaction logging, it is possible to ascertain the relevance of a session. This was done for 905,970 sessions conducted with the University of California's Melvyl online catalog. Next, a methodology was developed to try to predict the relevance of a session. A number of variables were defined that characterize a session, none of which used any demographic information about the user. The values of the variables were computed for the sessions. Principal components analysis was used to extract a new set of variables out of the original set. A stratified random sampling technique was used to form ten strata such that each new strata of 90,570 sessions contained the same proportion of relevant to nonrelevant sessions. Logistic regression was used to ascertain the regression coefficients for nine of the ten strata. Then, the coefficients were used to predict the relevance of the sessions in the missing strata. Overall, 17.85% of the sessions were determined to be relevant. The predicted number of relevant sessions for all ten strata was 11%, a 6.85% difference. The authors believe that the methodology can be further refined and the prediction improved. This methodology could also have significant application in improving user searching and also in predicting electronic commerce buying decisions without the use of personal demographic data.

Locally clocked pipelines and dynamic logic
Authors: Gregg N. Hoyer, Gin Yee, Carl Sechen
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2002)

Micropipelines and most of its variants use a delay-insensitive controller to moderate a pipeline. In search of improved performance, we depart from the delay-insensitive model in favor of a bounded-delay model for the controller. In particular, we demonstrate how a general delay-insensitive controller for level-sensitive pipelines can be improved by assuming a bounded-delay model and taking advantage of delay information to make the controller faster and more efficient. The new control scheme is referred to as locally clocked (LC) control. A highly pipelined logic technique called LC dynamic logic is presented that combines the bounded-delay controller with a latching dynamic logic gate design. Simulations comparing LC control with its delay-insensitive counterpart are presented. Also, an 8 x 8 bit multiplier with a maximum frequency of 715 MHz for a 1 &mgr;m CMOS process that uses LC dynamic logic is presented.
