Quantum Circuits That Can Be Simulated Classically in Polynomial Time
Authors: Leslie G. Valiant
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

A model of quantum computation based on unitary matrix operations was introduced by Feynman and Deutsch. It has been asked whether the power of this model exceeds that of classical Turing machines. We show here that a significant class of these quantum computations can be simulated classically in polynomial time. In particular we show that two-bit operations characterized by 4 &times; 4 matrices in which the sixteen entries obey a set of five polynomial relations can be composed according to certain rules to yield a class of circuits that can be simulated classically in polynomial time. This contrasts with the known universality of two-bit operations and demonstrates that efficient quantum computation of restricted classes is reconcilable with the Polynomial Time Turing Hypothesis. Therefore, it is possible that, The techniques introduced bring the quantum computational model within the realm of algebraic complexity theory. In a manner consistent with one view of quantum physics, the wave function is simulated deterministically, and randomization arises only in the course of making measurements. The results generalize the quantum model in that they do not require the matrices to be unitary. In a different direction these techniques also yield deterministic polynomial time algorithms for the decision and parity problems for certain classes of read-twice Boolean formulae. All our results are based on the use of gates that are defined in terms of their graph matching properties.

Management for Quality in High Technology Enterprises
Authors: Yefim Fasser, Donald Brettner
Venue:  (2002)

:Contemporary management concepts, methods, and techniques for global, high-technology industriesThe rapidly changing shape of technology industries requires a constant reevaluation of what it takes to manage such sophisticated corporations effectively. Management for Quality in High-Technology Enterprises explains how traditional "hard" management skills must be combined with new "soft" skills, why an expanding, global market necessitates an expanding, global mindset, and why a "focus on customers" must dominate all aspects of business. Momentous external and internal changes to technology enterprises demand new management procedures. Externally, industries are moving toward globalization, increased mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and outsourcing. Internally, the typical workforce has become significantly more knowledgeable and professional; the increase in knowledge workers in particular is changing the role and function of the contemporary manager. Drawing on their considerable experience as leaders in a high-technology corporation, Yefim Fasser and Donald Brettner show managers how to succeed in a shifting playing field. The book's five parts, comprising twenty chapters, are: A Systemic Approach to Organizational Transformation Managing a Knowledge-Based Organization Managing in a Global Environment Some Aspects of Managing Quality Reshaping the Organizational Culture Eschewing abstract, technical jargon, the authors explain in a lively, accessible fashion what managers must do to cope with the global changes in technology enterprises. Middle managers and engineers in high-technology manufacturing companies, as well as all professionals interested in improving their managerial knowledge and skills, will benefit from Management for Quality in High-Technology Enterprises.

An image matrix for accessing files
Authors: Stanley T. Schuyler, Jonathan A. Soule, Patrick F. Turchetta, Malcolm H. Gotterer
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

The efficiency of a file management system using direct access storage depends to a large extent upon the efficiency of its file access algorithm, the extent to which the operating environment influences file manager performance, and the effectiveness of primary storage utilization. One way to increase a system's efficiency is to reduce the number of probes necessary to access a record. Such a reduction may be accomplished by storing a small portion of a record's key in a bit matrix within primary storage. This method is effective when a section of primary storage is not used by the file management package, or when a section is occupied by component modules which are used infrequently enough to allow overlays or swapping. The effectiveness of this technique has been established through an experimental investigation.

Network optimization with stochastic traffic flows
Authors: Xian Liu
Venue: International Journal of Network Management (2002)

Conventional management optimization models are being challenged by the evolution of electronic and optical networks and it is necessary to incorporate the stochastic effect of traffic flows into network models. This paper introduces the stochastic programming (SP) methodology to characterize the stochastic traffic. Two network models, capacity assignment and flow assignment, are proposed. One of the SP approaches, the Wait-and-See method, is integrated into the presented models. Simulation results are reported.

Automated contouring of vertical oceanographic sections using an objective analysis
Authors: A. Herman
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

This paper describes a group of computer programs developed for contouring vertical sections of oceanographic parameters. The vertical profiles can be constructed from data collected in a variety of ways. The input data for the driver subroutine need not be equally spaced horizontally or vertically. The routines are written in Fortran for a UNIVAC 1108 with an offline Gould Plotter, but can easily be adapted to any computer with a Fortran compiler and a plotter which accepts Calcomp-like commands. The routines are of modular construction.

Integrating small computers within a conversational time-sharing environment
Authors: Frank J. Mabry,  Jr., Allan H. Levy
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

Software is described which will facilitate the use of a general time-sharing system by mini-computers. A user-written communication appendage task will edit input and output streams between the general time-sharing system and the specific mini-computer. This will enable a fuller utilization by the mini-computer of its native ability, including an "intelligent" reaction to central time-sharing commands. The software will enable mini-computers to make wide use of previously written conversational programs executing on the central system.
