Cartographic data structures: alternatives for geographic information systems
Authors: Kenneth J. Dueker
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

Means of capturing and encoding cartographic data for machine processing is a major issue in the design and the development of geographic information systems. The available and potential technology constitutes a bewildering array of choices for system designers from which to select formats and processing capabilities to meet user applications. Designers are not provided a very precise statement of data requirements (or fidelity requirements for the data capture and processing system); therefore, the tolerable distortion rates and tolerable information losses are not well expressed so as to assess coding efficiencies. Nor is there substantial agreement as to the appropriate breadth of comparative tests, as some systems can replicate coverages well for cartographic purposes, while other systems may provide stronger analytical capabilities for processing encoded geographic data.One of the major problems in encoding cartographic data is the lack of measures by which to assess the effectiveness of the coding. One set of effectiveness measures relates to the ability to replicate the source document in map form, while a second set of effectiveness measures relates to the use of the map or coverage data. There are a number of effectiveness measures that need developing in order to compare and test the effectiveness of alternative system approaches. A source document constructed to possess features that will test the effectiveness of alternative systems fairly and equitably needs development. This would result in the ability to establish benchmark tests by which systems could be compared.

On the Controllability of the Linearized Benjamin--Bona--Mahony Equation
Authors: Sorin Micu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

We study the boundary controllability properties of the linearized Benjamin--Bona--Mahony equation $$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_t-u_{xxt}+u_x=0,& x\in(0,1),\,t>0,\\ u(t,0)=0,\,\, u(1,t)=f(t),&t>0. \end{array} \right. We show that the equation is approximately controllable but not spectrally controllable (no finite linear combination of eigenfunctions, other than zero, is controllable). Next, we prove a finite controllability result and we estimate the norms of the controls needed in this case.

Working group reports from ITiCSE on Innovation and technology in computer science education
Venue: Annual Joint Conference Integrating Technology into Computer Science Education (2001)

Working Groups are an established part of the annual ITiCSE conference, and as Working Group organiser, I am delighted to introduce the reports from the 2001 gathering in Canterbury, UK.Working Groups assembled in the customary manner, having been at work electronically for some time before their arrival in the UK. Participation is a significant effort and sacrifice, since it is hard to take time out to attend the many interesting conference presentations. This year, matters were exacerbated by very hot (and un-British) weather.Some changes to the conduct of the Groups meant that they had more dedicated time before the Conference convened, and that they had access to a formal presentation session, rather than creating posters as had been done in earlier years. Both these developments seemed to be well received, with the presentations in particular permitting good interaction with delegates, to the Groups' benefits.Another change was to permit the Groups a full month after the conference to polish their reports. These have since been commented upon by referees, and you have the results before you.Three Groups met in 2001, and I was pleased that they addressed three areas that are central and critical to the delivery of Computing in higher education;&bull;Clear, Young et al. consider capstone projects. Projects are now almost universal in the CS curriculum, and they have surveyed the entire field, and compiled an impressive bibliography. Arguably, this form of project is a trademark of Computing, cherished by staff, students and employers alike. The activity is resource hungry, and it behoves us to do the best we can to present the best possible experience to our students.&bull;Henderson et al. consider the issue of mathematics in the curriculum. Uttering the word "maths" in most staff common rooms is like hitting a raw nerve, and the Group have done a good job of surveying the role and place of maths in the curriculum, and how attitudes are changing.&bull;McCracken et al. consider the actual programming fluency o f our students after we have taught them. Anecdotally and informally, many of us admit to a fear that many of our students "cannot really program". The Group has established for a representative sample of universities that this is actually true. This is an important piece of work, which has generated some equally important recommendations.Vicki Almstrum at Austin, Texas, has ably documented the activities of Working Groups over the years. See http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/csed/iticse/for full specifications of the Groups' original stated purpose, and full details (including pictures) of the participants. Equivalent information is available going back to the first ITiCSE conference in 1996.

Big Book of Terminal Emulation RFCS, 1st edition
Venue:  (2000)

:Terminal emulation has long been one of the original "killer apps" of theInternet. Telnet, the terminal emulation protocol of choice of the Internet for over thirty years, has long been one of the most important tools in the network administrator's toolkit as well as a vital enabling technology for network research. No single document defines telnet, but rather an entire sequence of documents published online as Requests for Comments (RFCs). This book collects and organizes these essential documents in a single printed volume, adding an introduction and extensive index. This means you no longer have to search through various RFCs in hopes of finding the answer to your telnet question - all the current and relevant RFCs are compiled here, with an extensive index that makes it simple to locate precisely the answer you need. Taken together, these RFCs offer an excellent introduction and overview to the practice and theory of doing interoperable terminal emulation over the Internet or any other TCP/IP network. In addition to documenting the mechanics of telnet and related application protocols, readers will find practical instructions on various related topics, including telnet standards, extending the telnet protocol, security, and telnet interoperability issues. Features: All Internet standards related to telnet All telnet application protocol specifications Telnet authentication and authorization issues Telnet interoperability issues TN3270 and TN5250 specifications And much more. If you buy only one reference on Internet terminal emulation, this is the one to choose. Written by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), this compilation is the most complete and authoritative reference on telnet and terminal emulation available anywhere. Pete Loshin started using the Internet in 1988 and has written a dozen books about the Internet, electronic commerce, and TCP / IP. Formerly an editor at BYTE Magazine, he has written articles for Data Communications, Information Security, PC World, PC Magazine, Communication News, PC Week, Telecommunications, and other well-known trade publications.

A data mining based system supporting tactical decisions
Authors: Giuseppe Polese, Massimiliano Troiano, Genoveffa Tortora
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

We present a decision support system based on data mining algorithms to be used for tactical decisions. The system has been developed and engineered to solve a typical problem involving strategic decisions: supporting a trainer of a basketball team in making technical/tactical decisions. The experiments conducted on this application domain proved the effectiveness of the system and its underlying algorithms. The basketball domain stressed several aspects of decision making, proving that the used approach is suitable for other domains involving tactical decisions.
On Some Mixed Finite Element Methods with Numerical Integration
Authors: Stefano Micheletti, R. Sacco, F. Saleri
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper a new family of mixed finite volume methods is analyzed for the approximation of a reaction-diffusion problem. All the methods are obtained starting from the dual mixed formulation of the problem and then employing the lowest-order Raviart--Thomas finite element spaces plus a suitable quadrature formula for the mass matrix. This allows for the use of different averages of the inverse diffusion coefficient to enforce the constitutive law for the fluxes at the interelement boundary in a finite volume fashion. The soundness of the methods is supported by an error analysis which shows optimal ${\cal O}(h)$ convergence rate with respect to the standard mixed finite element norm in the case of both smooth and piecewise smooth coefficients. Numerical results on test problems with both smooth and nonsmooth coefficients support the theoretical estimates.

Optimizing web content delivery using web server accelerator
Authors: Dongjun Shin, Kern Koh
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

Traditional web servers generate and deliver web contents in the same context. While the generation part becomes more and more complicated due to the complexity of implementing various features, the delivery part remains relatively simple and can be efficiently processed. This asymmetry leads to difficult and challenging issues in optimizing the web server performance.In this paper, we describe the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a web server accelerator, called Tornader. It resides in front of a web server and improves server performance by efficiently delivering cached responses while leaving the role of content generation to the web server. Due to the scalable architecture design and various optimization techniques, Tornader can boost the performance of the most widely used Apache web server up to 150% under high load condition and shows scalable performance enhancement in multiprocessor systems. Furthermore, it can be used on most modern operating systems, since it is entirely implemented as a user-level program using POSIX API.
Graphical language features in ALGOL 68
Authors: E. Denert, G. Ernst, H. Wetzel
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

The facilities of ALGOL 68 for defining new data types and operations are used for the description and manipulation of pictures. Starting with points, polygons and strings as primitives more complex pictures may be built up with operations such as uniting of pictures, positioning, scaling, and rotation. The use of the various interactive devices is shortly discussed and a sketch of the procedure, which translates the data structure being created by a GRAPHEX68 program into a graphical assembly language, is given.

It then gives by way of contrast the main features of APL as a notation. The birthday problem is discussed using APL as a notation, and a defined function is derived from this analysis. Finally, the conversion of functions to programs in other languages is discussed briefly, and a Fortran program for the birthday problem is given as an example.
Graphic Design Sources
Authors: Kenneth J. Hiebert
Venue:  (1998)

:In this book, an award-winning graphic designer and teacher addresses students, educators, computer graphics users, practicing designers, and others seeking to understand the principles and process of good design. Interweaving theory and concrete, creative activity, he demonstrates the integration of such stimuli as nature, music, personal experience, statistical data, vernacular expression, and architecture in well-designed work. With clear explanations and hundreds of revealing illustrations, Hiebert discusses and demonstrates the process of design creation: first finding more universal and latent beginning points inherent in sources, then engaging in a thought process that leads to fresh and unpredictable interpretive results. The computer is used as an enabling tool while avoiding the cliche forms of obvious computer-generated design.
New results on program reversals
Authors: Andrea Walther, Andreas Griewank
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

For adjoint calculations, parameter estimation, and similar purposes, one may need to produce all qualities calculated during the execution of a computer program in reverse order. The simplest possible approach is to record a complete execution log and then to read it backwards. This may require massive amounts of storage. Instead one may generate the execution log piecewise by restarting the "forward" calculation repeatedly from suitably placed checkpoints. For such-program execution reversals we present parallel reversal schedules that are probably optimal with regards to the number of concurrent processes and the total amount of memory required.
