Towards a semantics for XML markup
Authors: Allen Renear, David Dubin, C. M. Sperberg-McQueen
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

Although XML Document Type Definitions provide a mechanism for specifying, in machine-readable form, the syntax of an XML markup language, there is no comparable mechanism for specifying the semantics of an XML vocabulary. That is, there is no way to characterize the meaning of XML markup so that the facts and relationships represented by the occurrence of XML constructs can be explicitly, comprehensively, and mechanically identified. This has serious practical and theoretical consequences. On the positive side, XML constructs can be assigned arbitrary semantics and used in application areas not foreseen by the original designers. On the less positive side, both content developers and application engineers must rely upon prose documentation, or, worse, conjectures about the intention of the markup language designer --- a process that is time-consuming, error-prone, incomplete, and unverifiable, even when the language designer properly documents the language. In addition, the lack of a substantial body of research in markup semantics means that digital document processing is undertheorized as an engineering application area. Although there are some related projects underway (XML Schema, RDF, the Semantic Web) which provide relevant results, none of these projects directly and comprehensively address the core problems of XML markup semantics. This paper (i) summarizes the history of the concept of markup meaning, (ii) characterizes the specific problems that motivate the need for a formal semantics for XML and (iii) describes an ongoing research project --- the BECHAMEL Markup Semantics Project --- that is attempting to develop such a semantics.

A Stable Affine-Approximate Finite Element Method
Authors: K. Arunakirinathar, B. D. Reddy
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

The notion of the affine figure closest to a given quadrilateral can be given a precise mathematical definition. The resulting figure is referred to as the equivalent parallelogram associated with a quadrilateral. Equipped with such a concept, it is then feasible to consider finite element approximations in which the original quadrilateral elements are replaced by their equivalent parallelograms. The idea is appealing, not least because of the resulting economy arising from computations performed on an element generated by an affine map. Furthermore, numerical experiments reported recently indicate that highly efficient and accurate schemes result when such a concept is combined with the enhanced strain method or the method of incompatible modes. The purpose of this work is to analyze finite element schemes resulting from approximation of quadrilaterals by their equivalent parallelograms. The focus is on low-order (bilinear) elements, and the analysis is carried out in the context of linear elasticity for standard approximations as well as for those which use enhanced strains. The affine approximation applies only to the element map, and the primary unknown (the displacement vector in the context of elasticity) is approximated by conventional piecewise bilinear functions. The analysis confirms convergence at the optimal rate, provided that the deviations of the quadrilaterals from their equivalent parallelograms are at most O(h).
Feature preservation in view-dependent multiresolution meshes
Authors: Markus Grabner
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th spring conference on Computer graphics (2002)

Normal vector discontinuities on surfaces provide important visual cues for understanding the image of a geometrical object since they often indicate feature boundaries. We present an algorithm that preserves the appearance of features in view-dependent multiresolution meshes. The algorithm is shown to be efficient in terms of time and memory consumption. Our method is compatible with geomorphing to eliminate popping artefacts in interactive applications, and it can also be applied to texture coordinates. A large set of examples demonstrates the benefits of the proposed algorithm.

Human Computer Interaction Developments and Management
Authors: Tonya B. Barrier
Venue:  (2002)

:Organizations today realize that information systems must be managed. Organizations cannot continue to blindly accept and introduce components into information systems without studying the effectiveness, feasibility and efficiency of the individual components of their information systems. Information systems may be the only business area where it is automatically assumed that the latest, greatest and most powerful component is the one for our organization and must be managed and developed as any other resource in organizations today. Human Computer Interaction Development and Management contains the most recent research articles concerning the management and development of information systems, so that organizations can effectively manage information systems growth and development. Not only must hardware, software, data, information, and networks be managed people must be managed. Humans must be trained to use information systems. Systems must be developed so humans can use the systems as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Deterministic and Stochastic Time-Delay Systems
Authors: El-Kebir Boukas, Zi-Kuan Liu
Venue:  (2002)

:Deterministic and Stochastic Time-Delay Systems provides professionals and advanced students in control engineering with the most recent results on deterministic and stochastic time-delay systems.It is an excellent text/reference for graduate level engineering students, or a reference for practicing control engineers, and researchers in control engineering.The control of uncertain systems has dominated the research effort of the control community during the last two decades. Some practical dynamical systems have time-delay in their dynamics, which makes their control a complicated task even in the deterministic case. The presence of time-delay in dynamical systems is a well-known case of instability and preference degradation. This book presents recent developments on the class of uncertain deterministic/stochastic dynamical systems with time-delay. Problems such as stochastic stability, stabilizability under memory and memoryless state feedback controller and output feedback control, Hinfinite control, filtering and its robustness are treated. Practical implications of the different methods are considered and numerical algorithms are provided for implementation.

A Minimax Method for Finding Multiple Critical Points and Its Applications to Semilinear PDEs
Authors: Yongxin Li, Jianxin Zhou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Most minimax theorems in critical point theory require one to solve a two-level global optimization problem and therefore are not for algorithm implementation. The objective of this research is to develop numerical algorithms and corresponding mathematical theory for finding multiple saddle points in a stable way. In this paper, inspired by the numerical works of Choi--McKenna and Ding--Costa--Chen, and the idea to define a solution submanifold, some local minimax theorems are established which require us to solve only a two-level local optimization problem. Based on the local theory, a new local numerical minimax method for finding multiple saddle points is developed. The local theory is applied, and the numerical method is implemented successfully to solve a class of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems for multiple solutions on some nonconvex, non star-shaped and multiconnected domains. Numerical solutions are illustrated by their graphics for visualization. In a subsequent paper [Y. Li and J. Zhou, Convergence results of a minimax method for finding critical points, in review], we establish some convergence results for the algorithm.

The Basics Book of OSI and Network Management, 1st edition
Authors: Motorola Codex Staff
Venue:  (1992)

From the Book:PREFACE: This book is designed for management information system (MIS) people, pros and amateurs alike, who want a quick yet accurate summary of network management (NM). What is it? Who should worry about it? And why?We assume that you know a little, but probably not a lot, about data communications. (If you want to brush up on the basics, refer to the first book in this series: The Basics Book of Information Networking.) We also assume that you and your company have at least some experience with a network and that somebody-maybe you-has a notion that this network could be managed better. Whoever has that notion is probably right.But network management is a big universe, full of products and processes, and this little book doesn't attempt to cover it all in depth. The Introduction explains where network management came from and points out the aspects that will probably interest you. Chapter 1 defines the broad field of network management and gives an overview of the basic choices that a potential user faces. Chapter 2 describes different communications realms and how management takes place within and across them. Chapter 3 is a brief excursion into Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and the other kinds of standards that come to bear on network communications. And finally, Chapter 4 puts all of this good knowledge to use, with scenarios for real-life network management.One suggestion: if you want just a quick introduction to what network management is about, try reading Chapter 4 first. Then, inspired by how logical and accessible NM is, you may want to go back to the earlier chapters for some background. Or, if you come to this book as a fullymotivatedstudent of network management, read the chapters in sequence, and consider Chapter 4 your dessert for eating a good dinner in Chapters 1 through 3. 0201563711P04062001 The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

How to Make a Fortune on the Information Superhighway: What the Internet Is, how It Works
Authors: Laurence A. Canter, Martha S. Siegel
Venue:  (1995)

:In April 1994, two immigration attorneys in Scottsdale, Arizona did something no one had ever done before. They advertised their legal services to approximately 6,000 of the 9,000 discussion groups called "Newsgroups" on the Global Internet, reaching tens of millions of people. Their innovative, money-making venture netted over 25,000 customer inquiries for one night's work. The two Internet pioneers, by spending only $20.00 - the price of this book - brought in $100,000 worth of business. But they also received a flood of "flames" - E-mailed insults - from thousands of Internet users who did not want this part of the Internet used for business purposes. With one advertisement, Laurence Canter and Martha Siegel became the focal point of the violent controversy that continues to rage over commercialization of the once strictly academic Internet. In How to Make a Fortune on the Information Superhighway, Canter and Siegel tell you how to do what they did so successfully - make a fortune advertising on the Internet. You'll get the whole story, explained in clear, nontechnical language. You'll discover that with some fairly simple ideas, a PC, a modem, and a telephone line, you can "cybersell" your way to wealth. The Internet puts small businesses on an equal footing with the largest corporations by making it possible to reach 30 million people with the touch of a button. Here is everything you need to know about using the Internet as the ultimate marketing tool for almost any product or service. Written in a lively, accessible style, How to Make a Fortune on the Information Superhighway shows how you can be a pioneer in an exciting future filled with marketing and sales opportunities.
Trainable videorealistic speech animation
Authors: Tony Ezzat, Gadi Geiger, Tomaso Poggio
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

We describe how to create with machine learning techniques a generative, speech animation module. A human subject is first recorded using a videocamera as he/she utters a predetermined speech corpus. After processing the corpus automatically, a visual speech module is learned from the data that is capable of synthesizing the human subject's mouth uttering entirely novel utterances that were not recorded in the original video. The synthesized utterance is re-composited onto a background sequence which contains natural head and eye movement. The final output is videorealistic in the sense that it looks like a video camera recording of the subject. At run time, the input to the system can be either real audio sequences or synthetic audio produced by a text-to-speech system, as long as they have been phonetically aligned.The two key contributions of this paper are 1) a variant of the multidimensional morphable model (MMM) to synthesize new, previously unseen mouth configurations from a small set of mouth image prototypes; and 2) a trajectory synthesis technique based on regularization, which is automatically trained from the recorded video corpus, and which is capable of synthesizing trajectories in MMM space corresponding to any desired utterance.

Venue:  (2001)

:From the explosion of interest, research, and applications of evolutionary computation a new field emerges-evolutionary electronics. Focused on applying evolutionary computation concepts and techniques to the domain of electronics, many researchers now see it as holding the greatest potential for overcoming the drawbacks of conventional design techniques.Evolutionary Electronics: Automatic Design of Electronic Circuits and Systems by Genetic Algorithms formally introduces and defines this area of research, presents its main challenges in electronic design, and explores emerging technologies. It describes the evolutionary computation paradigm and its primary algorithms, and explores topics of current interest, such as multi-objective optimization. The authors examine numerous evolutionary electronics applications, draw conclusions about those applications, and sketch the future of evolutionary computation and its applications in electronics. In coming years, the appearance of more and more advanced technologies will increase the complexity of optimization and synthesis problems, and evolutionary electronics will almost certainly become a key to solving those problems. Evolutionary Electronics is your key to discovering and unlocking the potential of this promising new field.

Design of a branch-based 64-bit carry-select adder in 0.18 μm partially depleted SOI CMOS
Authors: Amaury Nève, Denis Flandre, Helmut Schettler, Thomas Ludwig, Gerhard Hellner
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

The paper presents the design of a 64-bit carry-select adder in Branch-Based Logic, a static design style that minimizes the internal node capacitances. This feature is used to lower the dynamic power dissipation, while maintaining good speed performances. The experimental realization of the adder demonstrates an overall delay of 720 ps while only dissipating 96 mW at 1 GHz. The fabrication is based on the 0.18 &mgr;m IBM CMOS8S2 SOI technology, which uses partially depleted transistors and copper metallization.
