Workshop on graphical documentation for programmers
Authors: Scott Tilley, Ken Wong
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

Programmers often use graphical forms of documentation that rely on software visualization techniques to make complicated information easier to understand. However, it is an open question exactly which types of graphical documentation are most suitable for which types of program understanding tasks (and in which specific usage contexts). This workshop will focus on this issue by exploring the suitability of three classes of graphical documentation (static, interactive, and editable) for selected program understanding tasks that are representative of common software maintenance and evolution scenarios. This workshop is a sequel to the workshop "Documentation for Software Engineers: What is Needed to Aid System Understanding?" which took place at SIGDOC 2001.
3-D Image Processing Algorithms, 1st edition
Authors: Nikos Nikolaidis, Ioannis Pitas
Venue:  (2000)

:"This guide presents and explains numerous 3-D image processing, analysis, and visualization techniques, including volume filtering, interpolation, 3-D discrete Fourier transform, evaluation of topological and geometrical features, region segmentation and edge detection, skeletonization and registration, and visualization. Necessary theoretical background is provided for each topic, along with a number of algorithms, selected on the basis of their acceptance by the scientific community." "The presentation of each technique includes a commented implementation, either in C code or in C-like pseudocode. Though presented in an almost ready-to-run form, the C code is simplified to expose the structure of the processing algorithms, rather than their programming details. This combination of theoretical treatment and C code implementation allows readers to gain a thorough insight into these techniques." "3-D Image Processing Algorithms is a resource for electrical, computer, and biomedical engineers, as well as computer graphics professionals and programmers."--BOOK JACKET.
A Generalized Fast Multipole Method for Nonoscillatory Kernels
Authors: Zydrunas Gimbutas, Vladimir Rokhlin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

We present a modification of the fast multipole method (FMM) in two dimensions. While previous implementations of the FMM have been designed for harmonic kernels, our algorithm works for a large class of kernels that satisfy fairly general conditions, amounting to the kernel being sufficiently smooth away from the diagonal. Our algorithm approximates appropriately chosen parts of the kernel with "tensor products" of Legendre expansions and uses the singular value decomposition (SVD) to compress the resulting representations. The obtained singular function expansions replace the Taylor and Laurent expansions used in the original FMM. The algorithm requires O(N) operations and is stable and robust. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated with numerical examples.

Deferring trust in fluid replication
Authors: Brian D. Noble, Ben Fleis, Landon P. Cox
Venue: Proceedings of the 9th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: beyond the PC: new challenges for the operating system (2000)

Mobile nodes rely on external services to provide safety, sharing, and additional resources. Unfortunately, as mobile nodes move through the networking infrastructure, the costs of accessing servers change. Fluid replication allows mobile clients to create replicas where and when they are needed. Unfortunately, one must trust the nodes holding these replicas, and establishing trust in autonomously administered nodes is a difficult task. Instead, we argue that trust should be deferred. In this position paper, we present the design of Stonewall, a system that defers trust decisions through the use of two mechanisms: packages and receipts. The former ensure confidentiality and detect breaches of integrity; the latter detect breaches of non-repudiation.
Notions of Observability for Uncertain Linear Systems with Structured Uncertainty
Authors: Ian R. Petersen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

This paper introduces a notion of observability for a class of uncertain linear systems with structured uncertainty. In the uncertain systems under consideration, the uncertainty is described by averaged integral quadratic constraints. In order to define a notion of observability for uncertain linear systems, the paper introduces a robust observability function which extends the usual definition of the observability Gramian to the case of uncertain systems. Using this observability function, a corresponding unobservable cone is defined, and an uncertain system is said to be robustly observable if this cone contains only the origin. The paper presents an algorithm for finding the robust observability function and corresponding unobservable cone. This algorithm involves solving a parameterized Riccati differential equation.
Solving spatial basic geometric constraint configurations with locus intersection
Authors: Xiao-Shan Gao, Christoph M. Hoffmann, Wei-Qiang Yang
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

A basic idea of geometric constraint solving is to decompose the constraint problem into smaller ones according to some basic configurations. In this paper, we find all spatial basic configurations involving points, lines, and planes containing up to six geometric primitives in an automated way. Many of these basic configurations still resist effective analytical solutions. We propose the locus intersection method for geometric constraint solving, which is used to solve all these basic configurations.
Introduction to the DIAM theory of algebraic access graphs
Authors: Michael Levin
Venue: Proceedings of the 1981 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1981)

Algebraic access graphs model the logical connectivity of database implementations. They supercede the string model of DIAM, eliminating the typed string concept and replacing it with digraphs disciplined by relational algebra. Navigations over algebraic access graphs are well defined, and it is possible to compute the information resolved by a navigation in the form of a relational algebraic expression.

C Program Design for Engineers, 2nd edition
Authors: Jeri R. Hanly, Elliot B. Koffman
Venue:  (2000)

:B> This book presents introductory programming and software development concepts to engineers using a disciplined approach. It provides numerous case studies and programming projects based on real-world examples from a wide range of engineering areas, making the material relevant to what engineers will encounter in their careers; the authors introduce implementations of basic numerical and statistical methods commonly used by engineers. Another feature is the addition of a chapter entitled "On to C++" that prepares readers for a transition to object-oriented programming. The book focuses on many aspects of software engineering, establishing early the connection between good problem-solving skills and effective software development. A five-phase software development method is presented in Chapter 1 and applied in every subsequent case study throughout. The book presents material in an order that meets the needs of a beginning programmer, rather than by the structure of the C programming language. This approach makes it possible to present fundamental concepts using traditional high-level terminology--output parameter, array, array subscript, string--and makes it easier for readers without a prior assembly-language background to master the many facets of pointer usage. This book is designed to introduce C programming to engineers in a way that is relevant to their engineering practice.

Limiting Average Criteria For Nonstationary Markov Decision Processes
Authors: Xianping Guo, Peng Shi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

This paper deals with the so-called limiting average criteria for nonstationary Markov decision processes with (possibly unbounded) rewards and Borel state space. A new set of conditions is provided, under which the existence of both a solution to the optimality equations and the limiting average $\epsilon (\geq 0)$-optimal Markov policies is derived. Also, a rolling horizon algorithm for computing limiting average $\epsilon (>0)$-optimal Markov policies is developed. Furthermore, the results in this paper are illustrated by several examples such as the water regulation problem.

Open and closed scopes for constrained genericity
Authors: Dominic Duggan, John Ophel
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Constrained genericity is an extension of parametric polymorphism, that allows type parameters in polymorphic procedures to be constrained to have certain operations defined over them. It is realized in the Ada and Haskell programming languages, as exemplified by type classes in Haskell. Type classes only allow a single global scope for instances of type classes. This article introduces a type system and a semantics that allows both dynamic and static scoping of such operations to be mixed in a program. Applications include overcoming scoping problems with constrained genericity, enabling program optimizations, and programming with dynamic data structures. Type classes with "open" scope obey the usual semantics for Haskell type classes, based on call-site "type dictionaries". Type classes with "closed" scope use run-time type descriptions to dispatch to instances. The type system to support this combines operator kinds, refinement kinds and singleton kinds. The system is extended to allow overlapping specialized instance types, in order to support specialized representations for data structures (for example, arrays of integers, arrays of floats and arrays of boxed values). This extension requires the combination of both type dictionaries and run-time type information for type class dispatching.
