Productivity simulation with promodel for an automotive assembly workstation involving a lift assist device
Authors: Qiuli Yu, Vincent Duffy, John McGinley, Zachary Rowland
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

With advances in computer technology and digital human modeling methodology, it is possible to predict risks of potential injuries during manufacturing design prior to production, and make proactive ergonomic design for manufacturing assembly workstations involving human-machine interfaces. However, the productivity of manufacturing systems may be decreased, and this negative impact is difficult to evaluate in experimental and manufacturing environments. This research focuses on productivity issue for an automotive assembly workstation involving a lift assist device. To evaluate the productivity of the assembly workstation interfered by proactive ergonomic design, a prescriptive model of the automotive assembly system is developed and simulated with ProModel. This model and its simulation can not only evaluate the productivity, but also determine the maximum conveyor speed. Furthermore, this methodology using ProModel simulation to evaluate productivity and utilization described in this paper can be extended to evaluating other human-machine systems with dynamic, stochastic, and discrete-event characteristics.

Wave scheduling and routing in sensor networks
Authors: Niki Trigoni, Yong Yao, Alan Demers, Johannes Gehrke, Rajmohan Rajaraman
Venue: ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN) (2007)

Sensor networks are being increasingly deployed for diverse monitoring applications. Event data are collected at various sensors and sent to selected storage nodes for further in-network processing. Since sensor nodes have strong constraints on their energy usage, this data transfer needs to be energy-efficient to maximize network lifetime. In this article, we propose a novel methodology for trading energy versus latency in sensor database systems. We propose a new protocol that carefully schedules message transmissions so as to avoid collisions at the MAC layer. Since all nodes adhere to the schedule, their radios can be off most of the time and only wake up during well-defined time intervals. We show how routing protocols can be optimized to interact symbiotically with scheduling decisions, resulting in significant energy savings at the cost of higher latency. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by means of a thorough simulation study, using synthetic data as well as real-world traffic workloads.
Optimization of probe coverage for high-resolution oligonucleotide aCGH
Authors: Doron Lipson, Zohar Yakhini, Yonatan Aumann
Venue: Bioinformatics (2007)

Motivation: The resolution at which genomic alterations can be mapped by means of oligonucleotide aCGH (array-based comparative genomic hybridization) is limited by two factors: the availability of high-quality probes for the target genomic sequence and the array real-estate. Optimization of the probe selection process is required for arrays that are designed to probe specific genomic regions in very high resolution without compromising probe quality constraints. Results: In this paper we describe a well-defined optimization problem associated with the problem of probe selection for high-resolution aCGH arrays. We propose the whenever possible ∈-cover as a formulation that faithfully captures the requirement of probe selection problem, and provide a fast randomized algorithm that solves the optimization problem in O(n logn) time, as well as a deterministic algorithm with the same asymptotic performance. We apply the method in a typical high-definition array design scenario and demonstrate its superiority with respect to alternative approaches. Availability: Address requests to the authors.

Logic, ontologies and mental states &ndash; report on the ECAI&dash;98 conference
Authors: Tei Laine
Venue: AI Communications (1998)

This short report of the ECAI&dash;98 conference held in Brighton, England, in August 1998 addresses &ndash; from the cognitive scientist&rsquo;s point of view &ndash; some conceptual issues concerning the contents (subject matter) of the presented papers, as well as some conceptual ambiguities of overall arrangements of the conference. Due to the fact that cognitive scientists work especially on human behaviour &ndash; and are interested both in rational and fallible aspects of human nature &ndash; the conference revealed some fundamental inaccuracies of terminology frequently used in artificial intelligence research and engineering societies. This report questions these as well as the connection between intelligent behaviour and the formal systems presented at the conference.

Rapid and brief communication: Extending the relevant component analysis algorithm for metric learning using both positive and negative equivalence constraints
Authors: Dit-Yan Yeung, Hong Chang
Venue: Pattern Recognition (2006)

Relevant component analysis (RCA) is a recently proposed metric learning method for semi-supervised learning applications. It is a simple and efficient method that has been applied successfully to give impressive results. However, RCA can make use of supervisory information in the form of positive equivalence constraints only. In this paper, we propose an extension to RCA that allows both positive and negative equivalence constraints to be incorporated. Experimental results show that the extended RCA algorithm is effective.
Palindromic prefixes and episturmian words
Authors: Stéphane Fischler
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2006)

Let w be an infinite word on an alphabet A. We denote by (ni)i ≥ 1 the increasing sequence (assumed to be infinite) of all lengths of palindromic prefixes of w. In this text, we give an explicit construction of all words w such that ni+1 ≤ 2ni + 1 for all i, and study these words. Special examples include characteristic Sturmian words, and more generally standard episturmian words. As an application, we study the values taken by the quantity lim supni+1/ni, and prove that it is minimal (among all nonperiodic words) for the Fibonacci word.

Creating a test collection for citation-based IR experiments
Authors: Anna Ritchie, Simone Teufel, Stephen Robertson
Venue: Proceedings of the main conference on Human Language Technology Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association of Computational Linguistics (2006)

We present an approach to building a test collection of research papers. The approach is based on the Cranfield 2 tests but uses as its vehicle a current conference; research questions and relevance judgements of all cited papers are elicited from conference authors. The resultant test collection is different from TREC's in that it comprises scientific articles rather than newspaper text and, thus, allows for IR experiments that include citation information. The test collection currently consists of 170 queries with relevance judgements; the document collection is the ACL Anthology. We describe properties of our queries and relevance judgements, and demonstrate the use of the test collection in an experimental setup. One potentially problematic property of our collection is that queries have a low number of relevant documents; we discuss ways of alleviating this.

Tips for the successful practice of simulation
Authors: Deborah A. sadowski, David T. Sturrock
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

Succeeding with a technology as powerful as simulation involves much more than the technical aspects you may have been trained in. The parts of a simulation study that are outside the realm of modeling and analysis can make or break the project. This paper explores the most common pitfalls in performing simulation studies and identifies approaches for avoiding these problems.
How much do technical scientists really cooperate?
Authors: Angela C. Sodan
Venue: ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society (2006)

Teamwork has evolved to play an important role in science and is called for by funding agencies, universities, and industry. However, as important as teamwork nowadays is, teamwork may not be the only approach to produce relevant research results. Furthermore, cooperation does not always match its ideal and ranges from nominal collaboration to close interaction. Given that researchers in technical sciences are often rated as introverts, the question is whether this is true and how this affects their collaboration style and their capability to solve conflicts in collaboration. This paper presents the results of a study that investigates to what extent researchers collaborate, what their motivation for collaboration is, and how they deal with conflicts. Furthermore, the paper assesses the researchers' personality types and checks whether a correlation exists between collaboration-related choices and personality types. The study was carried out with researchers in the area of high-performance computing.
A phytography of WALDMEISTER
Authors: Bernd Löchner, Thomas Hillenbrand
Venue: AI Communications (2002)

The architecture of the WALDMEISTER prover for unit equational deduction is based on a strict separation of active and passive facts. After an inspection of the system's proof procedure, the representation of each of the central data structures is outlined, namely indexing for the active facts, compression for the passive facts, successor sets for the hypotheses, and minimal recording of inference steps for the proof object. In order to cope with large search spaces, specialized redundancy criteria are employed, and the empirically gained control knowledge is integrated to ease the use of the system. The paper concludes with a quantitative comparison of the WALDMEISTER versions over the years, and a view of the future prospects.
An adaptive grid method for two-dimensional viscous flows
Authors: Changqiu Jin, Kun Xu
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2006)

This paper extends the gas-kinetic BGK-NS scheme to an adaptive grid for the viscous flow simulations. The grid movement and adaptation is controlled by a monitor function which may depend on velocity gradient or other flow variables, such as density or pressure. For the viscous flow computation, the use of adaptive mesh much improves the efficiency and accuracy of the method in comparison with the methods with static mesh points. The current method is an accurate and efficient method for the viscous flow computation, where the grid points can be easily moved and concentrated on the regions with large velocity and density gradients, such as the boundary layer and multi-material interface. Many numerical examples validate the current approach for the viscous flow simulations.
Essential Business Process Modeling
Authors: Michael Havey
Venue:  (2005)

Ten years ago, groupware bundled with email and calendar applications helped track the flow of work from person to person within an organization. Workflow in today's enterprise means more monitoring and orchestrating massive systems. A new technology called Business Process Management, or BPM, helps software architects and developers design, code, run, administer, and monitor complex network-based business processesSound complicated? It is. But it's downright frustrating when you have to search the Web for every little piece of information vital to the process. Essential Business Process Modeling gathers all the concepts, design, architecture, and standard specifications of BPM into one concise book, and offers hands-on examples that illustrate BPM's approach to process notation, execution, administration and monitoring.Author Mike Havey demonstrates standard ways to code rigorous processes that are centerpieces of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), which defines how networks interact so that one can perform a service for the other. His book also shows how BPM complements enterprise application integration (EAI), a method for moving from older applications to new ones, and Enterprise Service BUS for integrating different web services, messaging, and XML technologies into a single network. BPM, he says, is to this collection of services what a conductor is to musicians in an orchestra: it coordinates their actions in the performance of a larger composition.Essential Business Process Modeling teaches you how to develop examples of process-oriented applications using free tools that can be run on an average PC or laptop. You'll also learn about BPM design patterns and best practices, as well as some underlying theory. The best way to monitor processes within an enterprise is with BPM, and the best way to navigate BPM is with this valuable book. BPM replaces those sketchy flowchart diagrams that business analysts draw on whiteboards with a precise model that uses standard graphical and XML representations, and an architecture that allows it converse with other services, systems, and users.
The dominant wave-capturing flux: a finite-volume scheme without decomposition for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws
Authors: Michael G. Edwards
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2006)

More robust developments of schemes for hyperbolic systems, that avoid dependence upon a characteristic decomposition have been achieved by employing schemes that are based on a Rusanov flux. Such schemes permit the construction of higher order approximations without recourse to characteristic decomposition. This is achieved by using the maximum eigenvalue of the hyperbolic system within the definition of the numerical flux. In recent literature the Rusanov flux has been embedded in a local Lax-Friedrichs flux. The current literature on these schemes only appears to indicate success in this regard, with no investigation of the effect of the additional numerical diffusion that is inherent in such formulations.In this paper the foundation for a new scheme is proposed which relies on the detection of the dominant wave in the system. This scheme is designed to permit the construction of lower and higher order approximations without recourse to characteristic decomposition while avoiding the excessive numerical diffusion that is inherent in the Rusanov and local Lax-Friedrichs fluxes.
