Flexibillity in logic
Authors: Ellen Sentovich, Daniel Brand
Venue: Logic Synthesis and Verification (2001)

It is possible to synthesize more efficient implementations if we remove the requirement of preserving local functionality. This can be done to some degree by taking into account the environment of the logic targeted by synthesis. The environment provides flexibility in the choice of functionality. This chapter describes how a designer can specify the environment information, how the environment information can be derived, and how synthesis can take advantage of it.
Music ranking techniques evaluated
Authors: Alexandra L. Uitdenbogerd, Justin Zobel
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

In a music retrieval system, a user presents a piece of music as a query and the system must identify from a corpus of performances other pieces with a similar melody. Several techniques have been proposed for matching such queries to stored music. In previous work, we found that local alignment, a technique derived from bioinformatics, was more effective than the n-gram methods derived from information retrieval; other researchers have reported success with n-grams, but have not compared against local alignment. In this paper we explore a broader range of n-gram techniques, and test them with both manual queries and queries automatically extracted from MIDI files. Our experiments show that n-gram matching techniques can be as effective as local alignment; one highly effective technique is to simply count the number of n-grams in common between the query and the stored piece of music. N-grams are particularly effective for short queries and manual queries, while local alignment is superior for automatic queries.

Discrete time tandem networks of queues effects of different regulation schemes for simultaneous events
Authors: Bernadette Desert, Hans Daduna
Venue: Performance Evaluation (2002)

We consider tandem networks of discrete time Bernoulli servers with state dependent service rates and a state dependent Bernoulli arrival stream at the first node of the tandem. We investigate the effects of different regulation schemes for simultaneous events (e.g. joint arrivals and departures at some node, or joint departures at different nodes) on the performance behaviour of the network. The most serious effects occur with respect to arrival theorems which describe the distribution of the other customers present in the network and seen by an arriving customer, or observed by a customer during a jump inside the network. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions on the regulation scheme for a customer to observe always the time stationary behaviour of the network during his jumps. It turns out that we have to distinguish between local and global control for the regulation of simultaneous jumps. For different arrival schemes we compute the joint sojourn time distribution for a customer traversing the tandem. As a consequence we identify from this a regulation scheme which is known in the literature, where Little's formula cannot be applied directly.

Teaching data structures with multiple collection class libraries
Authors: Alan Fekete
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

In recent years, the teaching of data structures has been revolutionised by object-oriented languages, especially Java, in which the concept of each Abstract Data Type is made explicit as an Interface. The existing texts, though, each use a single set of classes: sometimes a standard library such as Sun's SDK, but in other cases these form a library unique to the text. In contrast, this paper advocates an approach which seeks to prepare students for the common situation for software developers, who are asked to regularly adjust to a library they are unfamiliar with. The teaching we describe openly acknowledges the existence of many libraries. A single concept such as Stack is expressed in subtly different ways in each library; these differences are made explicit for the student. We also show examples of assessment tasks that can accompany the teaching.

Query processing of streamed XML data
Authors: Leonidas Fegaras, David Levine, Sujoe Bose, Vamsi Chaluvadi
Venue: Proceedings of the eleventh international conference on Information and knowledge management (2002)

We are addressing the efficient processing of continuous XML streams, in which the server broadcasts XML data to multiple clients concurrently through a multicast data stream, while each client is fully responsible for processing the stream. In our framework, a server may disseminate XML fragments from multiple documents in the same stream, can repeat or replace fragments, and can introduce new fragments or delete invalid ones. A client uses a light-weight database based on our proposed XML algebra to cache stream data and to evaluate XML queries against these data. The synchronization between clients and servers is achieved through annotations and punctuations transmitted along with the data streams. We are presenting a framework for processing XML queries in XQuery form over continuous XML streams. Our framework is based on a novel XML algebra and a new algebraic optimization framework based on query decorrelation, which is essential for non-blocking stream processing.
Lie-Algebraic Stability Criteria for Switched Systems
Authors: Andrei A. Agrachev, Daniel Liberzon
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

It was recently shown that a family of exponentially stable linear systems whose matrices generate a solvable Lie algebra possesses a quadratic common Lyapunov function, which implies that the corresponding switched linear system is exponentially stable for arbitrary switching. In this paper we prove that the same properties hold under the weaker condition that the Lie algebra generated by given matrices can be decomposed into a sum of a solvable ideal and a subalgebra with a compact Lie group. The corresponding local stability result for nonlinear switched systems is also established. Moreover, we demonstrate that if a Lie algebra fails to satisfy the above condition, then it can be generated by a family of stable matrices such that the corresponding switched linear system is not stable. Relevant facts from the theory of Lie algebras are collected at the end of the paper for easy reference.
