Numerical study of quantum resonances in chaotic scattering
Authors: Kevin K. Lin
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

This paper presents numerical evidence that in quantum systems with chaotic classical dynamics, the number of scattering resonances near an energy E scales like h-(D(KE)+1)/2 as h &#x2192; 0. Here, KE denotes the subset of the energy surface {H = E} which stays bounded for all time under the flow generated by the classical Hamiltonian H and D (KE) denotes its fractal dimension. Since the number of bound states in a quantum system with n degrees of freedom scales like h-n, this suggests that the quantity (D (KE) + 1)/2 represents the effective number of degrees of freedom in chaotic scattering problems. The calculations were performed using a recursive refinement technique for estimating the dimension of fractal repellors in classical Hamiltonian scattering, in conjunction with tools from modern quantum chemistry and numerical linear algebra.

Parallel operation of cartablanca on shared and distributed memory computers ©
Authors: N. T. Padial-Collins, W. B. VanderHeyden, D. Z. Zhang, E. D. Dendy, D. Livescu
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande (2002)

We have recently developed a general-purpose non linear system solver environment for complex physics computations on unstructured grids. This environment, named CartaBlanca, was described at last year's Java Grande Forum. CartaBlanca employs a finite-volume method, [1]. The solution of the non linear algebraic systems, arising from representing the governing partial differential-equations on a discrete grid, utilizes the Jacobian-Free Newton Krylov method, [2]. Finally, CartaBlanca uses Java's built-in thread facility for shared-memory parallelization. The advent and popularity of clusters of workstations stimulated the development of a large body of methods that allow the execution of a Java program on a distributed memory system. We have been able to use one of these methods, JavaParty, to perform parallel calculations on distributed-memory clusters. JavaParty allows declaring classes as remote and creating simultaneously more than one virtual machine, each of which is able to access remote classes and their instances. In addition, in the JavaParty environment, the access of a remote class is syntactically identical to the access of a regular Java class as if we had only a virtual machine distributed over several computers. Thus, only two changes had to be implemented to our code. First, we had to declare the communication objects as remote. Second, we used JavaParty's remote threads instead of using Java's native threads, [3]. We demonstrate CartaBlancas's parallel performance on two prototypical physics problems: heat transfer and multiphase flow. Briefly, the heat transfer problem solves the transient heat equation on a square domain. The initial temperature distribution changes from zero to one in the x direction and has no gradient component in the y direction. The solution to the problem gives a temperature that relaxes to a steady state with a uniform value of one-half. The multiphase flow problem simulates a broken-dam flow wherein a fluid such as water is initially confined to the right half of a square domain with another fluid such as air the left half. At zero time, gravity is "turned on" and the water slumps and flows to fill the bottom half of the domain. We performed both shared memory and distributed memory parallel scaling tests. For the shared memory tests, we used an 8-processor Intel SMP machine with 900 MHz chips. For the distributed-memory tests, we used a Linux cluster distributed-memory machine with 1 Ghz Intel chips with two chips per cluster node and 1 Gbit/sec Ethernet interconnects. We achieve similar scalability for both shared memory computers and distributed-memory clusters.

Software configuration, distribution, and deployment of web-services
Authors: Rainer Anzböck, Schahram Dustdar, Harald Gall
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Web-Services can be seen as a newly emerging distributed computing model for the Web. They cater for the need to establish business-to-business (B2B) interactions on the Web. Web-Services consider a loosely coupled component model encapsulating business logic and interact with other components using XML protocols. Based on one case study, this paper discusses architectural issues and requirements for software configuration, distribution, and deployment of web-services.
Why distance matters: effects on cooperation, persuasion and deception
Authors: Erin Bradner, Gloria Mark
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

In this study, we examine how geographic distance affects collaboration using computer-mediated communication technology. We investigated experimentally the effects of cooperating partners being in the same or distant city on three behaviors: cooperation, persuasion, and deception using video conferencing and instant messaging (IM). Our results indicate that subjects are more likely to deceive, be less persuaded by, and initially cooperate less, with someone they believe is in a distant city, as opposed to in the same city as them. Although people initially cooperate less with someone they believe is far away, their willingness to cooperate increases quickly with interaction. Since the same media were used in both the far and near city conditions, these effects cannot be attributed to the media, but rather to social differences. This study confirms how CSCW needs to be concerned with developing technologies for bridging social distance, as well as geographic distance.

Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy, 1st edition
Authors: Stan M. Davis, Christopher Meyer
Venue:  (1999)

:Welcome to the new economy - a world where the rate of change is so fast it's only a blur, where the clear lines distinguishing buyer from seller, product from service, employee from entrepreneur are disappearing. To profit from these revolutionary patterns of business, you need a dynamic guide to the new economy. You need Blur. In this book, Stan Davis and Chris Meyer deliver more than a guided tour to these momentous shifts. They offer readers a working model to illustrate and benefit from the new rules of the connected economy, where advantage is temporary and nothing is fixed in time or space. Showcasing the practices of dozens of enterprises exploring the new frontiers of business - from Amazon.com to DreamWorks SKG to MBNA America - Davis and Meyer build a new framework for delivering and capturing value, evaluating success, developing strategy, and managing organizations in an economic world no longer determined by static measures of supply and demand. BLUR provides a lens for bringing the emerging economic landscape into focus - a world in which change is constant; knowledge and imagination are more valuable than physical capital; products and services are blended as "offers"; transactions give way to "exchanges"; and physical markets take on the characteristics of financial markets. This world rewards those who buck convention, like MCI, which has reorganized every six months to release creativity, or David Bowie, who has sold options on his future earnings as an artist. Adaptability is paramount, as more companies build permeable networks of business relationships with suppliers, distributors, employees, and even competitors, and individuals become "free agents," contracting their services to the highest bidders. Blur challenges you to question every assumption you hold about how business is conducted, and encourages you to experiment at the edges of business. Blur outlines nothing less than a revolution in business and consumer culture.
Inventing the Electronic Century: The Epic Story of the Consumer Electronics and Computer Science Industries
Authors: Alfred DuPont Chandler, Andrew Von Nordenflycht, Takashi Hikino
Venue:  (2001)

:"Chandler describes how Radio Corporation of America shaped the consumer electronics industry from its beginnings in the 1920s to the 1960s. He explains how catastrophic management decisions that brought about the collapse of RCA opened the door to Sony and Matsushita and ultimately to Japan's worldwide conquest of consumer electronics markets. At the same time, Chandler shows that the computer industry has been a strikingly American triumph. Readers will discover a wealth of penetrating insights in Chandler's riveting account of the rise of the mainframe, the minicomputer, and the microprocessor. What is more, Chandler documents the surprising and little-known fact that first mover IBM dominated the computer industry from the 1950s to the 1990s and that the Japanese, first by making IBM plug-compatibles and later with their large systems and servers, became its major competitors." Only by following the history of firms that commercialized these new technologies and knowing the details of competitive success and failure can managers truly understand their industries. Inventing the Electronic Century is timely and essential reading for every manager and student of high technology.

GMRES with Deflated Restarting
Authors: Ronald B. Morgan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

A modification is given of the GMRES iterative method for nonsymmetric systems of linear equations. The new method deflates eigenvalues using Wu and Simon's thick restarting approach [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 22 (2000), pp. 602--616]. It has the efficiency of implicit restarting but is simpler and does not have the same numerical concerns. The deflation of small eigenvalues can greatly improve the convergence of restarted GMRES. Also, it is demonstrated that using harmonic Ritz vectors is important because then the whole subspace is a Krylov subspace that contains certain important smaller subspaces.
