Exploiting statistics on query expressions for optimization
Authors: Nicolas Bruno, Surajit Chaudhuri
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

Statistics play an important role in influencing the plans produced by a query optimizer. Traditionally, optimizers use statistics built over base tables and assume independence between attributes while propagating statistical information through the query plan. This approach can introduce large estimation errors, which may result in the optimizer choosing inefficient execution plans. In this paper, we show how to extend a generic optimizer so that it also exploits statistics built on expressions corresponding to intermediate nodes of query plans. We show that in some cases, the quality of the resulting plans is significantly better than when only base-table statistics are available. Unfortunately, even moderately-sized schemas may have too many relevant candidate statistics. We introduce a workload-driven technique to identify a small subset of statistics that can provide significant benefits over just maintaining base-table statistics. Finally, we present experimental results on an implementation of our approach in Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

Weak Second Order Conditions for Stochastic Runge--Kutta Methods
Authors: A. Tocino, J. Vigo-Aguiar
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

A general procedure to construct weak methods for the numerical solution of stochastic differential systems is presented. As in the deterministic case, the procedure consists of comparing the stochastic expansion of the approximation with the corresponding Taylor scheme. In this way the authors obtain the order conditions that a stochastic Runge--Kutta method must satisfy to have weak order two. Explicit examples of generalizations of the classical family of second order two-stage explicit Runge--Kutta methods are shown. Also numerical examples are presented.

Open Systems Networking: TCP/IP and OSI, 1st edition
Authors: David M. Piscitello, A. Lyman Chapin
Venue:  (1993)

:David Piscitello and Lyman Chapin can offer a historical perspective possible only from experts who have participated in the development and implementation of TCP/IP and OSI standards. This book opens with their fascinating insiders' account of how the standards were developed, which sets the stage for the very practical information that follows. They compare the TCP/IP and OSI architectures and then examine each of the protocol layers, using a "top-down" approach, which deals first with the user-visible distributed applications (such as electronic mail, directories, and network management) and then with the way in which these applications are supported by lower-layer networking protocols. Specifically, the book compares: OSI X.400 MHS and Internet mail (SMTP/822) OSI X.500 directory and the domain name system OSI common management and simple network-management protocol OSI transports and transmissions-control protocol (TCP) OSI and Internet datagrams (CLNP and IP) and routing Equipped with the information in this landmark book, you will be able to cut through the political rhetoric of the open systems debate and apply the authors' hard-won practical assessment of TCP/IP and OSI to the real-world task of building, operating, and using networks. "Open Systems Networking by David M. Piscitello and A. Lyman Chapin is a unique book that explains, compares, and contrasts in parallel the OSI-and TCP/IP-based network layers, routing, directory services, and management." -Dr. Dobb's Journal "Open Systems Networking is a long-overdue work. No author has explained TCP/IP and OSI as understandablyand objectively as Piscitello and Chapin do in this book." -Network Computing

Generic Well-Posedness of Optimal Control Problems without Convexity Assumptions
Authors: Alexander J. Zaslavski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

The Tonelli existence theorem in the calculus of variations and its subsequent modifications were established for integrands f which satisfy convexity and growth conditions. In A. J. Zaslavski [Nonlinear Anal., to appear], a generic existence and uniqueness result (with respect to variations of the integrand of the integral functional) without the convexity condition was established for a class of optimal control problems satisfying the Cesari growth condition. In this paper we extend the generic existence and uniqueness result in A. J. Zaslavski [Nonlinear Anal., to appear], to a class of optimal control problems in which constraint maps are also subject to variations. The main result of the paper is obtained as a realization of a variational principle extending the variational principle introduced in A. D. Ioffe and A. J. Zaslavski [SIAM J. Control Optim., 38 (2000), pp. 566--581].

A Singular Field Method for Maxwell's Equations: Numerical Aspects for 2D Magnetostatics
Authors: Christophe Hazard, Stephanie Lohrengel
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

The present paper deals with the solution of Maxwell-type problems by means of nodal H1-conforming finite elements. In a nonconvex piecewise regular domain surrounded by a perfect conductor, such a discretization cannot in general approximate the singular behavior of the electromagnetic field near "reentrant" corners or edges. The singular field method consists of adding to the finite element discretization space some particular fields which take into account the singular behavior. The latter are deduced from the singular functions associated with the scalar Laplace operator.The theoretical justification of this approach as well as the analysis of the convergence of the approximation are presented for a very simple model problem arising from magnetostatics in a translation invariant setting, but the study can be easily extended to numerous Maxwell-type problems. The numerical implementation of both variants is studied for a domain containing a single reentrant corner.

Tilt Stability of a Local Minimum
Authors: R. A. Poliquin, R. T. Rockafellar
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

The behavior of a minimizing point when an objective function is tilted by adding a small linear term is studied from the perspective of second-order conditions for local optimality. The classical condition of a positive-definite Hessian in smooth problems without constraints is found to have an exact counterpart much more broadly in the positivity of a certain generalized Hessian mapping. This fully characterizes the case where tilt perturbations cause the minimizing point to shift in a Lipschitzian manner.
Robotics-based location sensing using wireless ethernet
Authors: Andrew M. Ladd, Kostas E. Bekris, Algis Rudys, Guillaume Marceau, Lydia E. Kavraki, Dan S. Wallach
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

A key subproblem in the construction of location-aware systems is the determination of the position of a mobile device. This paper describes the design, implementation and analysis of a system for determining position inside a building from measured RF signal strengths of packets on an IEEE 802.11b wireless Ethernet network. Previous approaches to location awareness with RF signals have been severely hampered by non-linearity, noise and complex correlations due to multi-path effects, interference and absorption. The design of our system begins with the observation that determining position from complex, noisy and non-linear signals is a well-studied problem in the field of robotics. Using only off-the-shelf hardware, we achieve robust position estimation to within a meter in our experimental context and after adequate training of our system. We can also coarsely determine our orientation and can track our position as we move. By applying recent advances in probabilistic inference of position and sensor fusion from noisy signals, we show that the RF emissions from base stations as measured by off-the-shelf wireless Ethernet cards are sufficiently rich in information to permit a mobile device to reliably track its location.

A theoretical study of optimization techniques used in registration area based location management: models and online algorithms
Authors: Sandeep K. S. Gupta, Goran Konjevod, Georgios Varsamopoulos
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th international workshop on Discrete algorithms and methods for mobile computing and communications (2002)

We describe a study of optimization techniques which have been proposed in the literature for registration area based location management from the perspective of optimal on-line algorithms. We show that most of these optimization techniques such as forwarding pointers and overlapped registration areas can be modeled using metrical task systems. Some of these models are simple while others are somewhat intricate. These representations directly imply the applicability of existing results on metrical task systems to algorithm design for location management. However, this also means that general lower bounds known for online metrical task systems carry over to our formulations of location management. We also discuss some restricted models in which much better (and simpler) algorithms are possible.

The Bohnenblust---Spitzer algorithm and its applications
Authors: J. Michael Steele
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

The familiar bijections between the representations of permutations as words and as products of cycles have a natural class of "data driven" extensions that permit us to use purely combinatorial means to obtain precise probabilistic information about the geometry of random walks. In particular, we show that the algorithmic bijection of Bohnenblust and Spitzer can be used to obtain means, variances, and concentration inequalities for several random variables associated with a random walk including the number of vertices and length of the convex minorant, concave majorant, and convex hull.

Dual-Primal FETI Methods for Three-Dimensional Elliptic Problems with Heterogeneous Coefficients
Authors: Axel Klawonn, Olof B. Widlund, Maksymilian Dryja
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In this paper, certain iterative substructuring methods with Lagrange multipliers are considered for elliptic problems in three dimensions. The algorithms belong to the family of dual-primal finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI) methods which recently have been introduced and analyzed successfully for elliptic problems in the plane. The family of algorithms for three dimensions is extended and a full analysis is provided for the new algorithms. Particular attention is paid to finding algorithms with a small primal subspace since that subspace represents the only global part of the dual-primal preconditioner. It is shown that the condition numbers of several of the dual-primal FETI methods can be bounded polylogarithmically as a function of the dimension of the individual subregion problems and that the bounds are otherwise independent of the number of subdomains, the mesh size, and jumps in the coefficients. These results closely parallel those of other successful iterative substructuring methods of primal as well as dual type.
