Is EOS the dawn of hypertext literature in Korea?
Authors: Hyunju Ryu
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

The aim of this paper is to describe briefly the Hypertext and Literature project (http://cos.met.go.kr) and to address the problems of hypertext literature in Korea. The project is named EOS, the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, in the hope that it will usher in the beginning of this new literature form. The EOS project is a large-scale effort to create a collaborative poetry `forest' (a tree structure of verse) that emerges from a single contribution, or the `seed' poem.
Overture: an object-oriented framework for high performance scientific computing
Authors: Federico Bassetti, David Brown, Kei Davis, William Henshaw, Dan Quinlan
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

The Overture Framework is an object-oriented environment for solving PDEs on serial and parallel architectures. It is a collection of C++ libraries that enables the use of finite difference and finite volume methods at a level that hides the details of the associated data structures, as well as the details of the parallel implementation. It is based on the A++/P++ array class library and is designed for solving problems on a structured grid or a collection of structured grids. In particular, it can use curvilinear grids, adaptive mesh refinement and the composite overlapping grid methods to represent problems with complex moving geometry.This paper introduces Overture, its motivation, and specifically the aspects of the design central to portability and high performance. In particular we focus on the mechanisms within Overture that permit a hierarchy of abstractions and those mechanisms which permit their efficiency on advanced serial and parallel architectures. We expect that these same mechanisms will become increasingly important within other object-oriented frameworks in the future.

Two-level control of a real-time data acquisition and control system for studying the electrical activity of the heart
Authors: R. C. Barr, G. S. Herman-Giddens, R. B. Warren, M. S. Spach
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

A high speed data acquisition system for experiments investigating the electrical activity of the heart is discussed with emphasis on the method of specifying and controllinq the experiment in progress. Provision is made for control by the investigator during the experiment of such things as sampling rate, initiation and duration of sampling, control of temperature of tissue preparations, pacing rates of various stimuli, etc. For many experiments direct investigator control works well, but where sequences of control are complicated, or where changes in control must occur in real time (e.g. sampling duration changes within a single heart beat), or where sequences of pacing outputs must vary depending upon values of immediately preceding data, direct investigator control is not feasible. Our approach to this problem is to use a Master Program - a small separate module tailored to each particular experiment which can monitor the progress of the experiment and make control choices automatically - in effect, an automated operator, Master Programs are subroutines prepared independently from the data acquisition program and allow the investigator to continue to exert whatever control he desires while the Master Program is running. A Master Program and an associated set of system parameters are stored together in a "workspace" on auxiliary storage with other workspaces. Any workspace can be loaded, if required, during execution of the data acquisition program, quickly changing the experiment's environment. Master Programs operate as coroutines with the existing modules of the data acquisition program. A general description of the data acquisition system is given along with an example of a specific Master Program. The implementation method is briefly discussed.

Fault Detection for Byzantine Quorum Systems
Authors: Lorenzo Alvisi, Dahlia Malkhi, Evelyn Pierce, Michael K. Reiter
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

In this paper, we explore techniques to detect Byzantine server failures in asynchronous replicated data services. Our goal is to detect arbitrary failures of data servers in a system where each client accesses the replicated data at only a subset (quorum) of servers in each operation. In such a system, some correct servers can be out-of-date after a write and can therefore, return values other than the most up-to-date value in response to a client's read request, thus complicating the task of determining the number of faulty servers in the system at any point in time. We initiate the study of detecting server failures in this context, and propose two statistical approaches for estimating the risk posed by faulty servers based on responses to read requests.

Cluster tool simulation assists the system design
Authors: Sarayuth Poolsup, Salil Deshpande
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Designing semiconductor cluster tool systems is a complicated task due to the nature of automatic operations and various configurations of modules and task response priorities of robots. System designers have to synchronize the wafer processing time of each module with robot operation times in order to obtain maximum throughput from the system. A simulation model was developed to reflect the process flows of wafers to and from wafer carriers through various modules in the cluster tool system. The model was first utilized to ascertain the best system configuration of the proposed systems, then utilized to design a cluster tool system that will meet the specific customer requirements.
Technology as a tool for attaining music cognition
Authors: David Sonnenschein
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Technology is primed to cause a paradigm shift in educational methodologies. This is especially true in the discipline of music appreciation. Educators facing the problem of relating verbal explications to music, with its ephemeral quality, had to rely on methods that prevented many learners from attaining full cognition of the listening component of this subject.Because of the availability of technology, methods can be developed that endows the learner with tools that can help bridge effectively the gap between what is being explained and what is being heard.One such tool is a hypermedia program, The Anatomy of Music. This program is currently used for a self-paced, computer based, Internet mediated course at Northeastern University in Boston. This tool is interactive and permits the learner to develop listening skills by experimentation and practice. It makes is possible to relate discussions about the music with the music itself and to do so within the context of the whole composition.
Agents and GUIs from task models
Authors: Jacob Eisenstein, Charles Rich
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

This work unifies two important threads of research in intelligent user interfaces which share the common element of explicit task modeling. On the one hand, longstanding research on task-centered GUI design (sometimes called model-based design) has explored the benefits of explicitly modeling the task to be performed by an interface and using this task model as an integral part of the interface design process. More recently, research on collaborative interface agents has shown how an explicit task model can be used to control the behavior of a software agent that helps a user perform tasks using a GUI. This paper describes a collection of tools we have implemented which generate both a GUI and a collaborative interface agent from the same task model. Our task-centered GUI design tool incorporates a number of novel features which help the designer to integrate the task model into the design process without being unduly distracted. Our implementation of collaborative interface agents is built on top of the COLLAGEN middleware for collaborative interface agents.
Page replacement using marginal loss functions
Authors: Manuel Ujaldon, Shamik D. Sharma, Joel Saltz
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

This paper describes a new technique to reduce page-faults in multiprocessing systems by supplying compile-time information about application's access patterns to the kernel. Runtime support is used to determine parameters unknown at compile-time and to summarize all this information as a marginal-loss function. Marginal loss functions describe the extra number of page faults that a process incurs when one of its pages is removed from main memory. System calls convey the marginal loss function of each active memory segment to the kernel which uses this information to determine the allocation and replacement of pages. We outline how the compiler analyzes access patterns and how the marginal loss function can be computed for common patterns. Simulation results demonstrate a significant reduction in page faults compared to typical approaches used by current operating systems.
A framework for Response Surface Methodology for simulation optimization
Authors: H. Gonda Neddermeijer, Gerrit J. van Oortmarssen, Nanda Piersma, Rommert Dekker
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

We develop a framework for automated optimization of stochastic simulation models using Response Surface Methodology. The framework is especially intended for simulation models where the calculation of the corresponding stochastic response function is very expensive or time-consuming. Response Surface Methodology is frequently used for the optimization of stochastic simulation models in a non-automated fashion. In scientific applications there is a clear need for a standardized algorithm based on Response Surface Methodology. In addition, an automated algorithm is less time-consuming, since there is no need to interfere in the optimization process. In our framework for automated optimization we describe the many choices that have to be made in constructing such an algorithm.
Geometrically parameterized interconnect performance models for interconnect synthesis
Authors: Luca Daniel, Chin Siong Ong, Sok Chay Low, Kwok Hong Lee, Jacob White
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

In this paper we describe an approach for generating geometrically-parameterized integrated-circuit interconnect models that are efficient enough for use in interconnect synthesis. The model generation approach presented is automatic, and is based on a multi-parameter model-reduction algorithm. The effectiveness of the technique is tested using a multi-line bus example, where both wire spacing and wire width are considered as geometric parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that the generated models accurately predict both delay and cross-talk effects over a wide range of spacing and width variation.
