Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits
Authors: Piet Wambacq, Willy M. Sansen
Venue:  (1998)

:Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits provides both qualitative and quantitative insight into the nonlinear behavior of analog integrated circuits at low and high frequencies. General techniques to suppress nonlinear behavior such as pre-distortion, linear and nonlinear feedback are explained in detail and illustrated with realistic examples. In this way the book fills the gap between the theory of nonlinear systems and practical analog integrated circuits. Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits is essential reading for practicing analog and mixed-signal design engineers and researchers in the field. It is also suitable as a text for an advanced course on the subject.

A Homotopy-Based Algorithm for Mixed Complementarity Problems
Authors: Stephen C. Billups
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

This paper develops an algorithm for solving mixed complementarity problems that is based upon probability-one homotopy methods. After the complementarity problem is reformulated as a system of nonsmooth equations, a homotopy method is used to solve a sequence of smooth approximations to this system of equations. The global convergence properties of this approach are qualitatively different from those of other recent methods, which rely upon decrease of a merit function. This enables the algorithm to reliably solve certain classes of problems that prove troublesome for other methods. To improve efficiency, the homotopy algorithm is embedded in a generalized Newton method.

AI analysis patterns as UML meta-model constructs
Authors: Angeles Manjarrés, Gerson Sunyé, Damien Pollet, Simon Pickin, Jean Marc Jézéquel
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

In this article, we investigate the use of the OO computational paradigm for the formulation of knowledge model patterns as OO analysis patterns. We seek to take advantage of research on design pattern specification, aimed at modelling patterns by means of structural and behavioural "meta-level" constraints, introducing appropriate modifications into the UML. We illustrate our argument with the formulation of an OO "assessment pattern" in analogy to the well known "assessment task template".

First steps towards mutually-immersive mobile telepresence
Authors: Norman P. Jouppi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

Mutually-Immersive Mobile Telepresence uses a teleoperated robotic surrogate to visit remote locations as a substitute for physical travel. Our goal is to recreate to the greatest extent possible, both for the user and the people at the remote location, the sensory experience relevant for business interactions of the user actually being in the remote location. The system includes multi-channel bidirectional video and audio on a mobile platform as well as haptic feedback. This paper describes our first system prototypes and initial experiences using them.

DeBugging: The 9 Indispensable Rules for Finding Even the Most Elusive Software and Hardware Problems
Authors: David J. Agans
Venue:  (2002)

:When the pressure is on to root out an elusive software or hardware glitch, what's needed is a cool head courtesy of a set of rulesguaranteed to work on any system, in any circumstance. Written in a frank but engaging style, Debugging provides simple, foolproof principles guaranteed to help find any bug quickly. This book makes those shelves of application-specific debugging books (on C++, Perl, Java, etc.) obsolete. It changes the way readers think about debugging, making those pesky problems suddenly much easier to find and fix. Illustrating the rules with real-life bug-detection war stories, the book shows readers how to: Understand the system: how perceiving the "roadmap" can hasten your journey Quit thinking and look: when hands-on investigation can't be avoided Isolate critical factors: why changing one element at a time can be an essential tool Keep an audit trail: how keeping a record of the debugging process can win the day Author Biography: David J. Agans (Milford, NH) is a recognized expert called in to help with tough debugging problems. He currently runs PointSource, a computer systems consultancy. He has worked with industrial control and monitoring systems, integrated circuit design, handheld PCs, videoconferencing, and countless other systems.
A Robust Algorithm for Optimization with General Equality and Inequality Constraints
Authors: Xin-wei Liu, Ya-xiang Yuan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

An algorithm for general nonlinearly constrained optimization is presented, which solves an unconstrained piecewise quadratic subproblem and a quadratic programming subproblem at each iterate. The algorithm is robust since it can circumvent the difficulties associated with the possible inconsistency of QP subproblem of the original SQP method. Moreover, the algorithm can converge to a point which satisfies a certain first-order necessary optimality condition even when the original problem is itself infeasible, which is a feature of Burke and Han's methods [Math. Programming, 43 (1989), pp. 277--303]. Unlike Burke and Han's methods, our algorithm does not introduce additional bound constraints. The algorithm solves the same subproblems as the Han--Powell SQP algorithm at feasible points of the original problem. Under certain assumptions, it is shown that the algorithm coincides with the Han--Powell method when the iterates are sufficiently close to the solution. Some global convergence results are proved and locally superlinear convergence results are also obtained. Preliminary numerical results are reported.

Secure systems development based on the common criteria: the PalME project
Authors: Monika Vetterling, Guido Wimmel, Alexander Wisspeintner
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGSOFT symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2002)

Security is a very important issue in information processing, especially in open network environments like the Internet. The Common Criteria (CC)is the standard requirements catalogue for the evaluation of security critical systems. Using the CC, a large number of security requirements on the system itself and on the system development can be defined. However, the CC does not give methodological support. In this paper, we show how integrate security aspects into the software engineering process. The activities and documents from the Common Criteria are tightly intertwined with the system development, which improves the quality of the developed system and reduces the additional cost and effort due to high security requirements. For modelling and verification of critical parts of the system, we use formal description techniques and model checking (supported by the graphical CASE tool AutoFocus, which increases both the understanding of the system specification and the system's reliability. We demonstrate our ideas by means of a case-study, the PalME project---an electronic purse application for Palm handhelds.
