Nearest common ancestors: a survey and a new distributed algorithm
Authors: Stephen Alstrup, Cyril Gavoille, Haim Kaplan, Theis Rauhe
Venue: Proceedings of the fourteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallel algorithms and architectures (2002)

Several papers describe linear time algorithms to preprocess a tree, such that one can answer subsequent nearest common ancestor queries in constant time. Here, we survey these algorithms and related results. A common idea used by all the algorithms for the problem is that a solution for complete binary trees is straightforward. Furthermore, for complete binary trees we can easily solve the problem in a distributed way by labeling the nodes of the tree such that from the labels of two nodes alone one can compute the label of their nearest common ancestor. Whether it is possible to distribute the data structure into short labels associated with the nodes is important for several applications such as routing. Therefore, related labeling problems have received a lot of attention recently.Previous optimal algorithms for nearest common ancestor queries work using some mapping from a general tree to a complete binary tree. However, it is not clear how to distribute the data structures obtained using these mappings. We conclude our survey with a new simple algorithm that labels the nodes of a rooted tree such that from the labels of two nodes alone one can compute in constant time the label of their nearest common ancestor. The labels assigned by our algorithm are of size $O(\log n)$ bits where $n$ is the number of nodes in the tree. The algorithm runs in $O(n)$ time.

Traffic modeling in a reconfigurable broadband nomadic computing environment
Authors: R. Malhotra, D. Dey, E. A. van Doorn, A. M. J. Koonen
Venue: Performance Evaluation (2002)

Reconfiguring a network to counter variations in traffic is expected to greatly enhance optimal usage of network resources. But an important input to this method is the traffic fluctuations themselves. We have developed two models for this purpose to describe the time-dependent variations in traffic at a base station in a nomadic computing, wireless environment. The first model is rather simple and does not take into account details of human behavior. It takes into account the probabilities of choosing different applications. The model is also analyzed and experimented with to identify the important input parameters. The second model, a refined version of the first model, takes into account details of relevant human behavior (in the context of a wireless nomadic computing environment). Finally, we have compared the two models on the basis of their complexity and validity in different situations.

Fabrication of self-aligned graded junction termination extensions with applications to 4H-SiC P-N diodes
Authors: J. N. Merrett, T. Isaacs-Smith, D. C. Sheridan, J. R. Williams
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

The properties of SiC make this wide band-gap semiconductor a promising material for high power devices. This potential is demonstrated in various devices, such as p-n diodes, Schottky diodes, bipolar junction transistors, thyristors, etc., all of which require adequate and affordable termination techniques to reduce leakage current and increase breakdown voltage in order to maximize power-handling capabilities. In this paper, we describe a technique for fabricating a graded junction termination extension (GJTE) that is effective and self-aligned, a feature that simplifies the implantation process during fabrication and, therefore, has the potential to reduce production costs. Implanted anode p-n diodes fabricated using this technique on 10-µm thick n- epitaxial layer had a maximum breakdown voltage of 1830 V. This was comparable to the ideal parallel-plane breakdown of 1900 V predicted by numerical simulation.

Oops! silly me! errors in a handwriting recognition-based text entry interface for children
Authors: Janet C. Read, Stuart MacFarlane, Chris Casey
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

This paper describes an empirical study in which children aged 7 and 8 used handwriting recognition software and hardware to input their own unconstrained text into the computer. The children were observed using the software, and the behaviour of both the children and the system is described.Handwriting recognition is a 'disobedient' technology; that is, it behaves erroneously, sometimes failing to generate correct representations of the child's intentions. This presents problems for the child, and these problems, and the strategies which the children adopted, are considered. Previous work on error correction with disobedient interfaces is used to provide grounding for the discussion.Two models are proposed, one describing user-states, the second introducing the notion of 'tidal' error repair. These models are then used to suggest some strategies for the design of more usable handwriting recognition interfaces for children.

A Framework for Efficient Data Redistribution on Distributed Memory Multicomputers
Authors: Minyi Guo, Ikuo Nakata
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2001)

Array redistribution is required often in programs on distributed memory parallel computers. It is essential to use efficient algorithms for redistribution; otherwise the performance of the programs will degrade considerably. The redistribution overheads consist of two parts: index computation and inter-processor communication. In this paper, by using a notation for the local data description called an LDD, we propose a framework to optimize the array redistribution algorithm both in index computation and inter-processor communication. That is, our work makes an effort to optimize not only the computation cost but also communication cost for array redistribution algorithms. We present an efficient index computation method and generate a schedule that minimizes the number of communication steps and eliminates node contention in each communication step. Some experiments show the efficiency and flexibility of our techniques.

XML in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference
Authors: Elliotte Rusty Harold, W. Scott Means
Venue:  (2000)

:XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is a W3C endorsed standard for document markup. Because of its ability to deliver portable data, XML is positioned to be a key web application technology. Given the complexity and incredible potential of this powerful markup language, it is clear that every serious developer using XML for data or text formatting and transformation will need a comprehensive, easy-to- access desktop reference in order to take advantage of XML's full potential. XML in a Nutshell will assist developers in formatting files and data structures correctly for use in XML documents. XML defines a basic syntax used to mark up data with simple, human-readable tags, and provides a standard format for computer documents. This format is flexible enough to be customized for transforming data between applications as diverse as web sites, electronic data inter-change, voice mail systems, and wireless devices, to name a few. Developers can either write their own programs that interact with, massage, and manipulate the data in XML documents, or they can use off-the-shelf software like web browsers and text editors to work with XML documents. Either choice gives them access to a wide range of free libraries in a variety of languages that can read and write XML. The XML specification defines the exact syntax this markup must follow: how elements are delimited by tags, what a tag looks like, what names are acceptable for elements, where attributes are placed, and so forth. XML doesn't have a fixed set of tags and elements that are supposed to work for everybody in all areas of interest for all time. It allows developers and writers to define the elements they need as they need them. Although XML is quite flexible in the elements it allows to be defined, it is quite strict in many other respects. XML in a Nutshell covers the fundamental rules that all XML documents and authors must adhere to, detailing the grammar that specifies where tags may be placed, what they must look like, which element names are legal, how attributes attach to elements, and much more. About the Authors: Elliotte Rusty Harold is a noted writer and programmer, both on and off the Internet. His Cafe au Lait website has become one of the most popular independent Java sites on the internet, and his spin-off site Cafe con Leche for XML News and Resources has become one of the most popular XML sites on the internet. Elliotte is the author of O'Reilly's Java Network Programming. W. Scott Means has been a professional software developer since 1988, when he joined Microsoft Corporation at the age of 17. He was one of the original developers of OS/2 1.1 and Windows NT, and did some of the early work on the Microsoft Network for the Advanced Technology and Business Development group. Most recently he is serving as the CEO of Industrial Web Machines, a new Internet venture based in Columbia, South Carolina.
Practical Storage Area Networking
Authors: Daniel Pollack
Venue:  (2002)

From the Book:This book is for systems administrators, storage administrators, or anyone else who has been given the difficult and unglamorous task of ensuring that data can be stored and retrieved consistently, for any application, in their environment. Anyone with intermediate knowledge of storage devices and how they are integrated into applications and systems can use the information in this book to build a SAN. SANs have become a major technology for deploying storage, and there is extensive discussion about it's merits and limitations, but very little about the actual nuts and bolts of SAN building and operating. My aim for this book is to enable builders of storage systems to progress from thinking about SANs to doing them, by explaining what I have done when implementing my own SANs.I will cover the topic of SAN building with examples from my own experiences with SANs. The examples are not intended to be a complete recipe because each environment is unique. I decided to illustrate a number of good practices that I have developed for myself to help bridge the gap between the concept for a SAN and the physical deployment of a SAN. My hope is that these practices create a framework for SAN builders to refer to when a SAN is the solution to the problem their particular requirements present.The book gives particular focus to the assessment of I/O behaviors in host systems, storage devices, and applications. This focus is the staring point for the SAN designs discussed throughout the book. I believe that the focus on I/O assessment is particularly important because it helps set expectations and parameters for an initial SAN design. The discussions of several typical SANsare consistent throughout the book and take the reader through the assessment, design, deployment, and operation phases of these SANs. The reduction of a SAN project into these phases helps reduce the amount of work involved in building a SAN by ordering the work in a logical way.Applying the methods in the book is described by their use in the SAN examples. A SAN builder will be able to make any necessary modifications for their own environments. The use of the methods in this book will enable more successful SAN projects.
