An intra-task dynamic voltage scaling method for SoC design with hierarchical FSM and synchronous dataflow model
Authors: Sunghyun Lee, Kiyoung Choi, Sungjoo Yoo
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper presents a method of intra-task dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for SoC design with hierarchical FSM and synchronous dataflow model (in short, HFSM-SDF model). To have an optimal intra-task DVS, exact execution paths need to be determined in compile time or runtime. In general programs, since determining exact execution paths in compile time or runtime is not possible, existing methods assume worst/average-case execution paths and take static voltage scaling approaches. In our work, we exploit a property of HFSM-SDF model to calculate exact execution paths in runtime. With the information of exact execution paths, our DVS method can calculate exact remaining workload. The exact workload enables to calculate optimal voltage level which gives optimal energy consumption while satisfying the given timing constraint. Experiments show the effectiveness of the presented method in low-power design of an MPEG4 decoder system.

If Only We Knew What We Know: The Transfer of Internal Knowledge and Best Practice
Authors: Carla O'Dell, Nilly Ostro
Venue:  (1998)

:Carla O'Dell and Jack Grayson explain for the first time how applying the ideas of Knowledge Management can help employers identify their own internal best practices and share this intellectual capital throughout their organizations. Knowledge Management (KM) is a conscious strategy of getting the right information to the right people at the right time so they can take action and create value. Basing KM on three major studies of best practices at one hundred companies, the authors demonstrate how managers can utilize a visual process model to actually transfer best practices from one business unit of the organization to another.

Cooperative visual manipulation of music notation
Authors: P. Bellini, P. Nesi, M. B. Spinu
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) (2002)

As computer technologies and their potential emerging applications spread out, new needs have been detected for computer-based applications of music; cooperative music notation editing both in orchestras and music schools is one of them. This article is the only public document describing the details of cooperative work on music notation of MOODS (Music Object Oriented Distributed System). MOODS is a synchronous real-time cooperative editor for music scores. Its architecture includes mechanisms for troubleshooting conflicts in real-time, managing histories of commands and versioning, and for performing selective undo. The system also includes specific solutions in order to control the editing on the account of editing permission profiles. The most important aspects of MOODS associated with cooperative work on music notation scores are reported herein. The article highlights the general problems of cooperative systems and provides rationales for the solutions, which were found to build MOODS. The MOODS system has been implemented and validated thanks to the endeavor of several musicians in orchestras, music schools, and project partners. A prototype has been demonstrated in public at the Scala Theatre in Milan, Italy.
African American women in the computing sciences: a group to be studied
Authors: Antonio M. Lopez,  Jr., Lisa J. Schulte
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

Most will likely agree that fewer and fewer women are finding their way to completing a bachelor's degree in one of the computing sciences. However, in looking at data collected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on bachelor's degrees in Computer Science (CS), an interesting anomaly is evident when African American women are viewed as a separate trend. This paper presents some preliminary analysis and suggests that research is needed to better understand this ethnic group that has remained relatively stable in its production of bachelor's degrees in CS.
Searching for points-to analysis
Authors: Glenn Bruns, Satish Chandra
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGSOFT symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2002)

The complexity of points-to analysis is well understood, but the approximations used to carry out points-to analysis efficiently are less well understood. In this paper we characterize points-to analysis as a reachability problem on a program's state space. Reachability analysis can be performed approximately but more efficiently for a program to which certain basic program transformations have been applied. We show the source of approximation and efficiency in several existing points-to analysis algorithms in terms of these generic program transformations.

On Weighted Linear Least-Squares Problems Related to Interior Methods for Convex Quadratic Programming
Authors: Anders Forsgren, Göran Sporre
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

It is known that the norm of the solution to a weighted linear least-squares problem is uniformly bounded for the set of diagonally dominant symmetric positive definite weight matrices. This result is extended to weight matrices that are nonnegative linear combinations of symmetric positive semidefinite matrices. Further, results are given concerning the strong connection between the boundedness of weighted projection onto a subspace and the projection onto its complementary subspace using the inverse weight matrix. In particular, explicit bounds are given for the Euclidean norm of the projections. These results are applied to the Newton equations arising in a primal-dual interior method for convex quadratic programming and boundedness is shown for the corresponding projection operator.
Microarrays: how many do you need?
Authors: Alexander Zien, Juliane Fluck, Ralf Zimmer, Thomas Lengauer
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

We estimate the number of microarrays that is required in order to gain reliable results from a common type of study: the pairwise comparison of different classes of samples. Current knowlegde seems to suffice for the construction of models that are realistic with respect to searches for individual differentially expressed genes. Such models allow to investigate the dependence of the required number of samples on the relevant parameters: the biological variability of the samples within each class; the fold changes in expression; the detection sensitivity of the microarrays; and the acceptable error rates of the results. We supply experimentalists with general conclusions as well as a freely accessible Java applet at http://cartan.gmd.de/~zien/classsize/ for fine tuning simulations to their particular actualities. Since the situation can be assumed to be very similar for large scale proteomics and metabolomics studies, our methods and results might also apply there.
Set Containment Characterization
Authors: O. L. Mangasarian
Venue: Journal of Global Optimization (2002)

Characterization of the containment of a polyhedral set in a closed halfspace, a key factor in generating knowledge-based support vector machine classifiers [7], is extended to the following: (i) containment of one polyhedral set in another; (ii) containment of a polyhedral set in a reverse-convex set defined by convex quadratic constraints; (iii) Containment of a general closed convex set, defined by convex constraints, in a reverse-convex set defined by convex nonlinear constraints. The first two characterizations can be determined in polynomial time by solving i>m linear programs for (i) and i>m convex quadratic programs for (ii), where i>m is the number of constraints defining the containing set. In (iii), i>m convex programs need to be solved in order to verify the characterization, where again i>m is the number of constraints defining the containing set. All polyhedral sets, like the i>knowledge sets of support vector machine classifiers, are characterized by the intersection of a finite number of closed halfspaces.
