Erratum: Quadrature Error Bounds with Applications to Lattice Rules
Authors: Fred J. Hickernell
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1997)

Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are used to derive error bounds and worst-case integrands for a large family of quadrature rules. In the case of lattice rules applied to periodic integrands these error bounds resemble those previously derived in the literature. However, the theory developed here does not require periodicity and is not restricted to lattice rules. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposition is employed in defining the inner product. It is shown that imbedded rules are superior when integrating functions with large high-order ANOVA effects.
3D MURALE: multimedia database system architecture
Authors: Edward Grabczewski, John Cosmas, Peter Van Santen, Damian Green, Takebumi Itagaki, Fred Weimer
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

Archaeological databases are required to store a wide range of data about archaeological objects. Multimedia, spatial and temporal requirements are placing new demands on these databases. Virtual models of archaeological sites require new storage and search facilities, including searching of 3D graphics for virtual and physical restoration of archaeological finds. We examine the architecture, design philosophy and proposed implementation of the 3D MURALE multimedia database, which will be used by archaeologists to construct a virtual model of the Sagalassos excavation site in Turkey.

RACHET: An Efficient Cover-Based Merging of Clustering Hierarchies from Distributed Datasets
Authors: Nagiza F. Samatova, George Ostrouchov, Al Geist, Anatoli V. Melechko
Venue: Distributed and Parallel Databases (2002)

This paper presents a hierarchical clustering method named RACHET (Recursive Agglomeration of Clustering Hierarchies by Encircling Tactic) for analyzing multi-dimensional distributed data. A typical clustering algorithm requires bringing all the data in a centralized warehouse. This results in O(nd) transmission cost, where n is the number of data points and d is the number of dimensions. For large datasets, this is prohibitively expensive. In contrast, RACHET runs with at most O(n) time, space, and communication costs to build a global hierarchy of comparable clustering quality by merging locally generated clustering hierarchies. RACHET employs the encircling tactic in which the merges at each stage are chosen so as to minimize the volume of a covering hypersphere. For each cluster centroid, RACHET maintains descriptive statistics of constant complexity to enable these choices. RACHET's framework is applicable to a wide class of centroid-based hierarchical clustering algorithms, such as centroid, medoid, and Ward.

Nonmonotonic reasoning in LDL++
Authors: Haixun Wang, Carlo Zaniolo
Venue: Logic-based artificial intelligence (2000)

Deductive database systems have made major advances on efficient support for nonmonotonic reasoning. A first generation of deductive database systems supported the notion of stratification for programs with negation and set aggregates. Stratification is simple to understand and efficient to implement but it is too restrictive; therefore, a second generation of systems seeks efficient support for more powerful semantics based on notions such as well-founded models and stable models. In this respect, a particularly powerful set of constructs is provided by the recently enhanced LDL++ system that supports (i) monotonic user-defined aggregates, (ii) XY-stratified programs, and (iii) the nondeterministic choice constructs under stable model semantics. This integrated set of primitives supports a terse formulation and efficient implementation for complex computations, such as greedy algorithms and data mining functions, yielding levels of expressive power unmatched by other deductive database systems.
An Orthogonally Based Pivoting Transformation of Matrices and Some Applications
Authors: Enrique Castillo, Angel Cobo, Francisco Jubete, Rosa Eva Pruneda, Carmen Castillo
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

In this paper we discuss the power of a pivoting transformation introduced by Castillo, Cobo, Jubete, and Pruneda [Orthogonal Sets and Polar Methods in Linear Algebra: Applications to Matrix Calculations, Systems of Equations and Inequalities, and Linear Programming, John Wiley, New York, 1999] and its multiple applications. The meaning of each sequential tableau appearing during the pivoting process is interpreted. It is shown that each tableau of the process corresponds to the inverse of a row modified matrix and contains the generators of the linear subspace orthogonal to a set of vectors and its complement. This transformation, which is based on the orthogonality concept, allows us to solve many problems of linear algebra, such as calculating the inverse and the determinant of a matrix, updating the inverse or the determinant of a matrix after changing a row (column), determining the rank of a matrix, determining whether or not a set of vectors is linearly independent, obtaining the intersection of two linear subspaces, solving systems of linear equations, etc. When the process is applied to inverting a matrix and calculating its determinant, not only is the inverse of the final matrix obtained, but also the inverses and the determinants of all its block main diagonal matrices, all without extra computations.

An Exception Handling of Rule-Based Reasoning Using Case-Based Reasoning
Authors: Mal Rey Lee
Venue: Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems (2002)

In this paper, we propose the CCAR (Combining Case-based And Rule-based reasoning) model for an exception handling of Rule-based Reasoning using Case-based Reasoning. The central idea of the model proposed in this paper is to represent the exception of a rule as a case, and to utilize the case for a solution to a problem, and then to search the case memory to retrieve a case which violates the conclusion of a rule. If the similarity between a target problem and the selected case is high, the conclusion of a case is applied. Otherwise, the conclusion of rule-based reasoning is applied.
Software control systems for parallel simulation
Authors: Radharamanan Radhakrishnan, Philip A. Wilsey
Venue: Proceedings of the sixteenth workshop on Parallel and distributed simulation (2002)

Parallel simulations using optimistic synchronization strategies such as Time Warp, operate with no regard to global synchronization since this results in greater parallelism and lower synchronization cost. However, like virtual memory, the parallel simulators may end up thrashing instead of performing useful work. The complication in using a Time Warp simulator is then to configure it suitably for good performance and avoid thrashing. Unfortunately, the optimal configuration is not generally static among different applications or even throughout an entire run of a single application. Thus, online feedback control systems are deployed to govern the adjustment of input parameters in our Time Warp simulation kernel. The design and implementation of effective feedback control systems can be difficult; the extra processing is pure overhead that must be absorbed by any performance gains delivered. The problem is further complicated when attempting to build a simulation kernel that is designed efficiently to operate with many different applications. In this paper, we introduce a control-centric architecture that is used to monitor and manage different parts of a Time Warp simulator. Specifically, we extend concepts from control theory such as adaptive control and stability, to better understand and design hierarchically-distributed run-time control systems for Time Warp based parallel simulation.
