On Approximating the Achromatic Number
Authors: Guy Kortsarz, Robert Krauthgamer
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

The achromatic number problem is to legally color the vertices of an input graph with the maximum number of colors, denoted $\psi^*$, so that every two color classes share at least one edge. This problem is known to be NP-hard.For general graphs we give an algorithm that approximates the achromatic number within a ratio of $O(n\cdot \log\log n/\log n)$. This improves over the previously known approximation ratio of $O(n/\sqrt{\log n})$, due to Chaudhary and Vishwanathan [{\it Proceedings of the Eighth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms}, New Orleans, LA, 1997, pp. 558--563].For graphs of girth at least 5 we give an algorithm with an approximation ratio $O(\min\{n^{1/3},\sqrt{\psi^*}\})$. This improves over an approximation ratio $O(\sqrt{\psi^*})=O(n^{3/8})$ for the more restricted case of graphs with girth at least 6, due to Krysta and Lory{&sacute; [Proceedings of the Seventh Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, Lecture Notes in Comput. Sci. 1643, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1999, pp.402--413].We also give the first hardness result for approximating the achromatic number. We show that for every fixed $\epsilon>0$ there is no $2-\epsilon$ approximation algorithm, unless P=NP.
HDL Chip Design: A Practical Guide for Designing, Synthesizing and Simulating ASICs and FPGAs Using VHDL or Verilog
Authors: Douglas J. Smith
Venue:  (1998)

From the Book:The EDA industry is an increasingly challenging area in which to be working. I work at VeriBest Incorporated and have been in the EDA industry for many years, and I am fully aware of the books that are available. This one, however, is unique as it deals extensively with both VHDL and Verilog in a comparative manner and includes many graphic examples of synthesied circuits. Doug Smith, also of VeriBest Inc., has been mastering the valuable art of Hardware Description Language (HDL) chip design for many years in both European and American companies. He has cleverly captured years of design experience within the pages of this book. The abundant examples throughout show complete functional designs and not just snippets of code. Doug has spent endless months researching HDL and design topics to ensure that people in the EDA industry were in agreement with his methods. I am certainly an advocate of Doug's HDL guide for EDA veterans and first semester EE freshmen alike. His tips on planning and executing HDL designs (including the modeling caveats) are invaluable. Designers can surely benefit by applying his precepts and principles using the techniques emerged from his design experience. You will probably keep this book close to your desk for many projects to come. Often, worth is measured by magnitude, however this book not only contains more examples than any other previously published work dealing with HDL driven design, but is more comprehensive than any other book of synthesis recipes whatsoever. A technical work must stand or fall by its accuracy and authority; "HDL Chip Design" stands head-and-shoulders over all other books covering this subject. The authority of thiswork rests on almost a lifetime of practical experience, through his career. Its accuracy has been verified through machine-processing of all the examples, and by leading industry experts. As a result "HDL Chip Design" is the very best hands-on book you can own today. It will enable you to survive in the competitive world of HDL chip design, and will be a beacon in your quest for perfect HDL design.

Zero-interaction authentication
Authors: Mark D. Corner, Brian D. Noble
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

Laptops are vulnerable to theft, greatly increasing the likelihood of exposing sensitive files. Unfortunately, storing data in a cryptographic file system does not fully address this problem. Such systems ask the user to imbue them with long-term authority for decryption, but that authority can be used by anyone who physically possesses the machine. Forcing the user to frequently reestablish his identity is intrusive, encouraging him to disable encryption.Our solution to this problem is Zero-Interaction Authentication, or ZIA. In ZIA, a user wears a small authentication token that communicates with a laptop over a short-range, wireless link. Whenever the laptop needs decryption authority, it acquires it from the token; authority is retained only as long as necessary. With careful key management, ZIA imposes an overhead of only 9.3% for representative workloads. The largest file cache on our hardware can be re-encrypted within five seconds of the user's departure, and restored in just over six seconds after detecting the user's return. This secures the machine before an attacker can gain physical access, but recovers full performance before a returning user resumes work.
A Krylov--Schur Algorithm for Large Eigenproblems
Authors: G. W. Stewart
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

Sorensen's implicitly restarted Arnoldi algorithm is one of the most successful and flexible methods for finding a few eigenpairs of a large matrix. However, the need to preserve the structure of the Arnoldi decomposition on which the algorithm is based restricts the range of transformations that can be performed on the decomposition. In consequence, it is difficult to deflate converged Ritz vectors from the decomposition. Moreover, the potential forward instability of the implicit QR algorithm can cause unwanted Ritz vectors to persist in the computation. In this paper we introduce a general Krylov decomposition that solves both problems in a natural and efficient manner.

Reasoning about nonatomic operations
Authors: Leslie Lamport
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1983)

A method is presented that permits assertional reasoning about a concurrent program even though the atomicity of the elementary operations is left unspecified. It is based upon a generalization of the dynamic logic operator [&alpha;]. The method is illustrated by verifying the mutual exclusion property for a two-process version of the bakery algorithm.

Designs, Graphs, Codes, and Their Links
Authors: Peter J. Cameron, J. H. Van Lint
Venue:  (1992)

:Although design theory, graph theory and coding theory, had their origins in various areas of applied mathematics, today they are found under the umbrella of discrete mathematics. Here the authors have considerably reworked and expanded their earlier successful books on designs, graphs and codes, into an invaluable textbook. They do not seek to consider each of these three topics individually, but rather to stress the many and varied connections between them. The discrete mathematics needed is developed in the text, making this book accessible to any student with a background of undergraduate algebra. Many exercises and useful hints are included throughout, and a large number of references are given.

Precomputed radiance transfer for real-time rendering in dynamic, low-frequency lighting environments
Authors: Peter-Pike Sloan, Jan Kautz, John Snyder
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics. As a preprocess, a novel global transport simulator creates functions over the object's surface representing transfer of arbitrary, low-frequency incident lighting into transferred radiance which includes global effects like shadows and interreflections from the object onto itself. At run-time, these transfer functions are applied to actual incident lighting. Dynamic, local lighting is handled by sampling it close to the object every frame; the object can also be rigidly rotated with respect to the lighting and vice versa. Lighting and transfer functions are represented using low-order spherical harmonics. This avoids aliasing and evaluates efficiently on graphics hardware by reducing the shading integral to a dot product of 9 to 25 element vectors for diffuse receivers. Glossy objects are handled using matrices rather than vectors. We further introduce functions for radiance transfer from a dynamic lighting environment through a preprocessed object to neighboring points in space. These allow soft shadows and caustics from rigidly moving objects to be cast onto arbitrary, dynamic receivers. We demonstrate real-time global lighting effects with this approach.

ISLPED is unique in the sense that it brings academic and industrial researchers, technology, circuit, architecture, systems and software people together: their common concern being design for low power.A total of 162 contributed papers were received. Many thanks to all the authors who submitted their manuscripts. We return to the 2,5 days program to give us a little more room to switch between sessions and interact with other participants during the poster sessions. Even with two parallel sessions, we were able to accept only 24 long papers, 16 short papers and 21 poster papers. We will also have one keynote speech, two invited presentations and two embedded tutorials. These invited presentations are again from the wide span of topics in this symposium: a presentation on low voltage memories, one on nanotechnology and one on system integration for wireless communication. The winners of the student design contest have a special session on Tuesday afternoon. The goal of the design contest is to encourage innovation in low power design and to showcase original power-aware designs. An industry sponsored cash award will be presented to each selected design entry. This year, the symposium will once again feature a small exhibits are.
Journalism and New Media, 1st edition
Authors: John Vernon Pavlik
Venue:  (2001)

:Ubiquitous news, global information access, instantaneous reporting, interactivity, multi-media content, extreme customization: journalism is undergoing the most fundamental transformation since the rise of the penny press in the nineteenth century. Here is a report from the front lines on the impact and implications for journalists and the public alike. John V. Pavlik argues that new media can revitalize news gathering and reengage an increasingly distrustful and alienated citizenry. Pavlik considers the implications of convergence and the emerging tools of the information age -- and speculates on their likely adoption, evolution, and impact on news and society in the twenty-first century, examining both the positive and negative forces that will shape the face of journalism in a digital age. With a foreword by Seymour Topping, administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes, the book is a valuable reference on everything from organizing a new age newsroom to job hunting in the new media.
