APL tutorial in mathematical modelling
Authors: A. Buzin, I. Naftulin
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on APL-Berlin-2000 conference (2000)

The software presented below is a computer tutorial in mathematical modeling. The term "Mathematical Modeling" does not have a precise definition. We use the term to imply problem description in mathematical terms and the use of mathematical tools to investigate the given problem. For example, by using differential equations it is possible to describe a vast variety of different phenomena in the areas of physics, biology, sociology, etc. Some types of differential equations can be solved analytically, others require numerical methods and a computer. So today's mathematical modeler should be prepared to use a computer as an accessory.There are a great number of software packages allowing mathematical models to be studied numerically as well as analytically. Among these packages are MatLab, MathCad, Maple, Mathematica and others. However, students of Applied Mathematics should not only know how to apply numerical methods but also understand their principles and the limits to their application. Therefore, any student class in Numerical Methods should include some coding of numerical methods by using a programming language.Classical programming languages are overburdened with ritual operations (data description, cycles, manual distribution of memory) to such an extent that after programming the numerical method very little time is left to investigate the method itself: its behavior with different parameters and in different sorts of problem. Moreover, the object known as a "program" in a classical programming language is something monolithic; there are very few useful operations defined over such objects. Therefore APL enjoys a considerable advantage over classical programming. It allows students to concentrate on the algorithm itself and not on the data description.But one faces some disadvantages when using APL. APL does not provide for alternative representations of numbers or for the creation of standalone executable modules.The tutorial presented below is a program having a Windows interface which lets students familiarize themselves with the Theory of Calculation and problem solving in connection with numerical methods or actual models.The tutorial consists of lectures, problems, hints and solutions, plus a library of numerical methods. But most importantly, when using this tutorial, students can solve problems in the actual tutorial environment, i.e. the APL session and the GRAN subsystem for interactive graph plotting are available for the student's use.The tutorial below is not up to commercial standards, but is intended only as an illustration of APL's capabilities as a teaching tool. Clearly, this tutorial could be adapted to a variety of disciplines and this is a course of action we hope to pursue. In accordance with APL's history, this tutorial is an individualized and personalized study-aid and not a product for mass consumption.

Averaged singular integral estimation as a bias reduction technique
Authors: Miguel A. Delgado, Jose M. Vidal-Sanz
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

This paper proposes an averaged version of singular integral estimators, whose bias achieves higher rates of convergence under smoothing assumptions. We derive exact bias bounds, without imposing smoothing assumptions, which are a basis for deriving the rates of convergence under differentiability assumptions.

An approach for authoring 3D cultural heritage exhibitions on the web
Authors: Gennaro Costagliola, Sergio Di Martino, Filomena Ferrucci, Fabio Pittarello
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The development of desktop virtual reality cultural exhibitions on the web is a challenging process, because it requires a collection of skills, ranging from art to 3D Internet technologies, and involves a variety of tasks. The need of suited approaches able to support the development of such exhibitions has motivated the introduction of the approach proposed in the paper. Such an approach is characterized by a strong attention towards the content experts, by a clear identification of the actors involved in the development process, and by a set of visual modeling languages, which support the high-level design of the exhibition and allow a more effective communication between the heterogeneous members of the project. Such modeling languages have been embedded in an authoring system which profitably supports the main figures to carry out their tasks.

As Time Goes by: The Information Revolution and the Industrial Revolutions in Historical Perspective
Authors: Chris Freeman, Francisco Louca
Venue:  (2001)

:"How can we best understand the impact of revolutionary technologies on the business cycle, the economy, and society? Why is economics meaningless without history and without an understanding of institutional and technical change? Does the 'new economy' mean the 'end of history'?" "These are some of the questions addressed in this authoritative analysis of economic growth from the Industrial Revolution of the 'new economy' of today. Chris Freeman has been one of the foremost researchers on innovation for a long time and his colleague Francisco Louca is an outstanding historian of economic theory and an analyst of econometric models and methods. Together they chart the history of five technological revolutions: water-powered mechanization, steam-powered mechanization, electrification, motorization, and computerization. They demonstrate the necessity to take account of politics, culture, organizational change, and entrepreneurship, as well as science and technology in the analysis of economic growth." "This is a well-informed, highly topical, and persuasive study of interest across all the social sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
XML Pocket Reference, 2nd edition
Authors: Robert Eckstein, Michel Casabianca
Venue:  (2001)

:XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is the next-generation markup language for the Web. It provides a more structured and more powerful medium than HTML, allowing us to define new document types and stylesheets as needed. Although the generic tags of HTML are sufficient for everyday text, XML gives us a way to add rich, well-defined markup to electronic documents. The XML Pocket Reference, Second Edition, is both a handy introduction to XML terminology and syntax, and a quick reference to XML instructions, attributes, entities, and datatypes. Although XML itself is complex, its basic concepts are simple. This small book serves both as a perfect tutorial for learning the basics of XML, and as a reference to the XML specification. This second edition includes information on XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) and XPath.

High performance fuzzy processors
Authors: Gian Carlo Cardarilli, Roberto Lojacono, Marco Re
Venue: Hardware implementation of intelligent systems (2001)

In this chapter, some methodologies for developing fuzzy hardware architectures are presented. The architectures can be grouped into two sets, namely general-purpose structures, and task oriented structures. We discuss the effectiveness of the task-oriented architectures for the implementation of fuzzy processors. We present an architecture exploiting the properties of the fuzzy processing in order to simplify and speed-up its basic blocks. In particular, the fuzzification unit is based on a suitable class of trapezoidal membership functions with power of two slopes for the oblique sides. The algorithm used for the defuzzification unit is based on the Center of Gravity (COG) method. It is implemented by a full look-up table approach in order to obtain the maximum speed. With respect to other look-up table approaches the architecture we propose usesess memory and is fully parallel. In addition, a divider that computes an approximate result has been added and further reduces the overall complexity of the circuit. The structure has been designed and simulated by using the ES2 technology. We obtained a chip of 7 mm2 for the core logic, and an external 10 Kbytes memory containing the output membership functions. The simulations have shown a speed over 100 KFLIPS for 2 inputs and 20 rules. The effectiveness of this architecture has been tested on a specific high-speed application, i.e. the radar target tracking. In this case, the simulation results give good performance in terms of target tracking capability and speed higher than 400 KFLIPS.

Knowledge Management in the SocioTechnical World: The Graffiti Continues
Authors: Elayne Coakes
Venue:  (2002)

:This book follows on from Elayne Coakes'previous book in the CSCW series, The New SocioTech (published April 2000). Whereas that book gave a broad introduction to the re-emerging area of sociotechnical design, this one applies these principles specifically to the area of Knowledge Management (KM). KM has been a key tool in ensuring that people and technology work together to optimum effect within organisations for many years, but recent studies have called for a more systemic approach to the topic. This book examines that problem via sociotechnical principles which have recently re-emerged as one of the most widely used approaches to information systems and organisational design. Including contributions from academics and practitioners, this book looks at key aspects of the field such as: - Knowledge management strategy formulation - Knowledge requirements - Case studies from corporate learning environments and industry It will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, and managers who are involved in any aspect of information systems/sociotechnical design or knowledge management. It will also useful for advanced students on information systems or related courses.

On building workflow models for flexible processes
Authors: Peter Mangan, Shazia Sadiq
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Australasian database conference - Volume 5 (2002)

Process support systems, such as workflows, are being used in a variety of domains. However, most areas of application have focused on traditional production-style processes, which are characterized by predictability and repetitiveness. Application in non-traditional domains with highly flexible process is still largely unexplored. Such flexible processes are characterized by lack of ability to completely predefine and/or an explosive number of alternatives. Accordingly we define flexibility as the ability of the process to execute on the basis of a partially defined model where the full specification is made at runtime and may be unique to each instance. In this paper, we will present an approach to building workflow models for such processes. We will present our approach in the context of a non-traditional domain for workflow deployment, which is, degree programs in tertiary institutes. The primary motivation behind our approach is to provide the ability to model flexible processes without introducing non-standard modeling constructs. This ensures that the correctness and verification of the language is preserved. We propose to build workflow schemas from a standard set of modeling constructs and given process constraints. We identify the fundamental requirements for constraint specification and classify them into selection, termination and build constraints. Finally, we will demonstrate the dynamic building of instance specific workflow models on the basis of these constraints.
