Selective Idling: Experiments in Transport Layer Energy Conservation
Authors: I. Batsiolas, Ioanis Nikolaidis
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2001)

In this paper we consider the potential of using an aggressive form of energy conservation for mobile computing environments. The estimators for the round-trip time and round-trip time variance used by TCP are used to direct the transceiver of a mobile node to idle over extended periods of time when packet activity is not anticipated. In addition, we consider data link layer extensions that provide additional control information allowing the mobile to be further selective as to when to idle and when to activate the network interface device. Simulations are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed scheme under various levels of congestion in the fixed part of the network, from completely unloaded to fully congested. The simulations reveal that the technique is promising but its effectiveness depends crucially on the control of the maximum window size used by TCP and on accurate knowledge of the congestion conditions in the network.

On perfectly secure communication over arbitrary networks
Authors: M V N Ashwin Kumar, Pranava R. Goundan, K Srinathan, C. Pandu Rangan
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-first annual symposium on Principles of distributed computing (2002)

We study the interplay of network connectivity and perfectly secure message transmission under the corrupting influence of generalized Byzantine adversaries. It is known that in the threshold adversary model, where the Byzantine adversary can corrupt upto any t among the n players (nodes), perfectly secure communication among any pair of players is possible if and only if the underlying synchronous network is (2t + 1)-connected. Strictly generalizing these results to the non-threshold setting, we show that perfectly secure communication among any pair of players is possible if and only if the union of no two sets in the adversary structure is a vertex cutset of the synchronous network. The computation and communication complexities of the transmission protocol are polynomial in the size of the network and the maximal basis of the adversary structure.
Tie-breaking strategies for fast distance join processing
Authors: Hyoseop Shin, Bongki Moon, Sukho Lee
Venue: Data Knowledge Engineering (2002)

The distance join is a spatial join that finds pairs of closest objects in the order of distance by associating two spatial data sets. The distance join stores node pairs in a priority queue, from which node pairs are retrieved while traversing R-trees in top-down manners in the order of distance. This paper first shows that a priority strategy for the tied pairs in the priority queue during distance join processing greatly affects its performance. Then it proposes a probabilistic tie-breaking priority method. The experiments show that the proposed method is always better than alternative methods in the performance perspectives.

Role of simulation in industries: the definition and potential role of simulation within an aerospace company
Authors: Craig A. Murphy, Terrence D. Perera
Venue: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation (2001)

Simulation software has reached a technological level that provides high flexibility and integration capabilities necessary for product design, development and manufacturing efficiency. Within the manufacturing industry, this simulation potential has not been fully recognized, although it is now becoming a matter of interest through the documented benefits it has provided. This paper discusses the issues of simulation definition, selection and integration with both business systems and each other. This also discusses the practical difficulties a business would encounter in the development of a fully digital environment through simulation integration, and data management.
Fast subtype checking in the HotSpot JVM
Authors: Cliff Click, John Rose
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande (2002)

We present the fast subtype checking implemented in Sun's HotSpot JVM. Subtype checks occur when a program wishes to know if class S implements class T, where S and T are not both known at compile-time. Large Java programs will make millions or even billions of such checks, hence a fast check is essential. In actual benchmark runs our technique performs complete subtype checks in 3 instructions (and only 1 memory reference) essentially all the time. In rare instances it reverts to a slower array scan. Memory usage is moderate (11 words per class) and can be traded off for time. Class loading does not require recomputing any data structures associated with subtype checking.

The Multimedia Adventure
Authors: Nicholas V. Iuppa, Marc Wade
Venue:  (1993)

:Multimedia computers are able to do things never before possible - creating a revolution in creativity and learning that is entering all aspects of our lives. With new multimedia technology we can combine audio, graphics, text, animation, video and interactivity all in one presentation. The Multimedia Adventure discusses these capabilities in depth including the use and production of interactive videodiscs (IVD), computer-based training (CBT) and compact disc-interactive (CD-I). The authors walk the reader through several levels of interactive multimedia, from the basic to the complex and then beyond to future interactive models that include networking, miniaturization and performance support (including artificial intelligence and intelligent agents). Stating that interactive technology is enabling program developers to do more than just create new learning environments, the authors claim that "we are about to enter a whole new universe," and that "we are on the verge of a great and exciting new adventure." Emphasizing the fact that true interactive multimedia is more than text and graphics and video sequences, The Multimedia Adventure provides the reader with specific examples of several types of multimedia programming. The hardware and software needed in a multimedia workstation are outlined with guidelines for use and estimated costs. Other chapters focus on basic text and graphic elements in an interactive multimedia program, including the creation of screens with illustrations, and buttons for navigation and answering questions. The role of video in interactive multimedia is considered by the authors as an important aspect and is covered in several chapters which explore existing video that is repurposed to become part of a multimedia presentation, and original video - either the simple video elements that are produced with low-end production equipment, such as desktop video - or the more complex and advanced video presentations that have traditionally bee
Teaching network fundamentals using a simulated network
Authors: David Stratton
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (1999)

The classic computer science degree begins by offering students insights into the workings of a stand-alone computer in order that they can be effective in their career in the computing industry. However, the interconnection of computers in networks is now so pervasive that students also need a foundation in network fundamentals. A simulated network is a safe and inexpensive environment in which to expose students to networking issues. Existing network simulators are designed to model traffic and performance and are unsuitable for these purposes. This paper describes a Java application, distributed using the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), that has been written to provide an environment in which students can actively engage with some important networking concepts.

Virtual Teaming: Breaking the Boundaries of Time and Place
Authors: Deborah Jude-York, Susan Wise
Venue:  (1999)

:Virtual teams are the newest form of the team idea, so popular in medium-sized large organizations. It recognizes the fact that the flexibility of new office technologies combined with the pace of activity and the mobility of the people in working groups, call for a new approach. It is hard to have a hallway chat or a drop-in meeting with someone who is 3,000 miles way. Now the need of a collaborative effort can be met whatever the distance as long as the members of a group understand the technology and skills needed and the competencies that must be developed to succeed. This book builds the framework through a clear description of the new landscape and the use of exercises and questionnaires that will help individuals build a toolkit to use when working in a virtual team.

The QR Decomposition and the Singular Value Decomposition in the Symmetrized Max-Plus Algebra Revisited
Authors: Bart De Schutter, Bart De Moor
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

This paper is an updated and extended version of the paper "The QR Decomposition and the Singular Value Decomposition in the Symmetrized Max-Plus Algebra" (B. De Schutter and B. De Moor, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 19 (1998), pp. 378--406). The max-plus algebra, which has maximization and addition as its basic operations, can be used to describe and analyze certain classes of discrete-event systems, such as flexible manufacturing systems, railway networks, and parallel processor systems. In contrast to conventional algebra and conventional (linear) system theory, the max-plus algebra and the max-plus-algebraic system theory for discrete-event systems are at present far from fully developed, and many fundamental problems still have to be solved. Currently, much research is going on to deal with these problems and to further extend the max-plus algebra and to develop a complete max-plus-algebraic system theory for discrete-event systems. In this paper we address one of the remaining gaps in the max-plus algebra by considering matrix decompositions in the symmetrized max-plus algebra. The symmetrized max-plus algebra is an extension of the max-plus algebra obtained by introducing a max-plus-algebraic analogue of the $-$-operator. We show that we can use well-known linear algebra algorithms to prove the existence of max-plus-algebraic analogues of basic matrix decompositions from linear algebra such as the QR decomposition, the singular value decomposition, the Hessenberg decomposition, the LU decomposition, and so on. These max-plus-algebraic matrix decompositions could play an important role in the max-plus-algebraic system theory for discrete-event systems.

Signature extraction for overlap detection in documents
Authors: Raphael A. Finkel, Arkady Zaslavsky, Krisztián Monostori, Heinz Schmidt
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

Easy access to the Web has led to increased potential for students cheating on assignments by plagiarising others' work. By the same token, Web-based tools offer the potential for instructors to check submitted assignments for signs of plagiarism. Overlap-detection tools are easy to use and accurate in plagiarism detection, so they can be an excellent deterrent to plagiarism. Documents can overlap for other reasons, too: Old documents are superseded, and authors summarize previous work identically in several papers. Overlap-detection tools can pinpoint interconnections in a corpus of documents and could be used in search engines.We describe a web-accessible text registry based on signature extraction. We extract a small but diagnostic signature from each registered text for permanent storage and comparison against other stored signatures. This comparison allows us to estimate the amount of overlap between pairs of documents, although the total time required is linear in the total size of the documents. We compare our algorithm with several alternatives and present both efficiency and accuracy results.
