Reusable Components for Knowledge Modelling: Case Studies in Parametric Design Problem Solving, 1st edition
Authors: E. Motta
Venue:  (1999)

:Knowledge modelling technologies, such as ontologies and problem solving methods, are gaining popularity, as they enable the development of cost-effective and robust knowledge systems through a reuse-centred process model. In addition, there is also much interest in modelling technology as a means to support the acquisition, organization, formalization and distribution of the knowledge assets of a company. This book provides an in-depth analysis of knowledge modelling technology, illustrating the main tenets of this paradigm, surveying the state-of-the-art and then presenting in detail the application of this technology to parametric design problems. This book will be of interest to readers who wish to learn about the state of the art in knowledge technologies. More specifically, the book offers a theoretical perspective and practical solutions to students, researchers and practitioners working in the areas of knowledge-based systems, knowledge management and design.
Resource description framework: metadata and its applications
Authors: K. Selçuk Candan, Huan Liu, Reshma Suvarna
Venue: ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter (2001)

Universality, the property of the Web that makes it the largest data and information source in the world, is also the property behind the lack of a uniform organization scheme that would allow easy access to data and information. A semantic web, wherein different applications and Web sites can exchange information and hence exploit Web data and information to their full potential, requires the information about Web resources to be represented in a detailed and structured manner. Resource Description Framework (RDF), an effort in this direction supported by the World Wide Web Consortium, provides a means for the description of metadata which is a necessity for the next generation of interoperable Web applications. The success of RDF and the semantic web will depend on (1) the development of applications that prove the applicability of the concept, (2) the availability of application interfaces which enable the development of such applications, and (3) databases and inference systems that exploit RDF to identify and locate most relevant Web resources. In addition, many practical issues, such as security, ease of use, and compatibility, will be crucial in the success of RDF. This survey aims at providing a glimpse at the past, present, and future of this upcoming technology and highlights why we believe that the next generation of the Web will be more organized, informative, searchable, accessible, and, most importantly, useful. It is expected that knowledge discovery and data mining can benefit from RDF and the Semantic Web.
Vortex tracking in scale-space
Authors: Dirk Bauer, Ronald Peikert
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

Scale-space techniques have become popular in computer vision for their capability to access the multiscale information inherently contained in images. We show that the field of flow visualization can benefit from these techniques, too, yielding more coherent features and sorting out numerical artifacts as well as irrelevant large-scale features. We describe an implementation of scale-space computation using finite elements and show that performance is sufficient for computing a scale-space of time-dependent CFD data. Feature tracking, if available, allows to process the information provided by scale-space not just visually but also algorithmically. We present a technique for extending a class of feature extraction schemes by an additional dimension, resulting in an efficient solution of the tracking problem.

Effects of four computer-mediated communications channels on trust development
Authors: Nathan Bos, Judy Olson, Darren Gergle, Gary Olson, Zach Wright
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

When virtual teams need to establish trust at a distance, it is advantageous for them to use rich media to communicate. We studied the emergence of trust in a social dilemma game in four different communication situations: face-to-face, video, audio, and text chat. All three of the richer conditions were significant improvements over text chat. Video and audio conferencing groups were nearly as good as face-to-face, but both did show some evidence of what we term delayed trust (slower progress toward full cooperation) and fragile trust (vulnerability to opportunistic behavior)

Resolution lower bounds for the weak pigeonhole principle
Authors: Ran Raz
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) We prove that any Resolution proof for the weak pigeon hole principle, with n holes and any number of pigeons, is of length &omega;(2n&egr;), (for some constant &egr; &rho; 0). One corollary is that a certain propositional formulation of the statement NP \not \subset P/poly does not have short Resolution proofs.

RAID: a robust and adaptable distributed system
Authors: Bharat Bhargava, John Dilley, John Riedl
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd workshop on Making distributed systems work (1986)

There is a need to design distributed systems that are not rigid in their choice of algorithms and that are responsive to faults/failures and performance degradation. To meet this challenge, we formalize and experiment with design principles that allow the implementation of an adaptable distributed system. The strategies for dynamic reconfiguration of the subsystems and determining their impact are being studied via experiments on a prototype system called RAID under development at Purdue University. RAID provides system level support for transaction management in a reliable manner. Other transaction based systems are TABS [SBD*85], ARGUS [LS83], and System R* [LHM*84].The key contribution of RAID is the system level support provided for building transaction based applications. RAID provides support for atomic objects and atomic commitment across a set of sites. It also includes concurrency control mechanisms based on time-stamps that provide a variety of choices of methods spanning from two-phase locking to optimistic methods utilizing the semantics of transactions and the objects accessed by them. In addition RAID has site failure and network partition control algorithms integrated with the rest of concurrent transaction processing and a replicated copy control subsystem.

Polynomial minimum root separation
Authors: George E. Collins
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2001)

There is a well-known lower bound, due to Mignotte, for the minimum root separation of a squarefree integral polynomial, but no evidence for the sharpness of this bound. This paper provides massive computational evidence for a conjectured much larger bound, one that is approximately the square root of Mignotte's bound. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms
Authors: Nicholas J. Higham
Venue:  (1996)

:What is the most accurate way to sum floating point numbers? What are the advantages of IEEE arithmetic? How accurate is Gaussian elimination and what were the key breakthroughs in the development of error analysis for the method? The answers to these and many related questions are included here. This book gives a thorough, up-to-date treatment of the behavior of numerical algorithms in finite precision arithmetic. It combines algorithmic derivations, perturbation theory, and rounding error analysis. Software practicalities are emphasized throughout, with particular reference to LAPACK and MATLAB. The best available error bounds, some of them new, are presented in a unified format with a minimum of jargon. Because of its central role in revealing problem sensitivity and providing error bounds, perturbation theory is treated in detail. Historical perspective and insight are given, with particular reference to the fundamental work of Wilkinson and Turing, and the many quotations provide further information in an accessible format. The book is unique in that algorithmic developments and motivations are given succinctly and implementation details minimized, so that attention can be concentrated on accuracy and stability results. Here, in one place and in a unified notation, is error analysis for most of the standard algorithms in matrix computations. Not since Wilkinson's Rounding Errors in Algebraic Processes (1963) and The Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem (1965) has any volume treated this subject in such depth. A number of topics are treated that are not usually covered in numerical analysis textbooks, including floating point summation, block LU factorization, condition number estimation, the Sylvester equation, powers of matrices, finite precision behavior of stationary iterative methods, Vandermonde systems, and fast matrix multiplication. Although not designed specifically as a textbook, this volume is a suitable reference for an advanced course, and could be used by instructors at all levels as a supplementary text from which to draw examples, historical perspective, statements of results, and exercises (many of which have never before appeared in textbooks). The book is designed to be a comprehensive reference and its bibliography contains more than 1100 references from the research literature. Audience Specialists in numerical analysis as well as computational scientists and engineers concerned about the accuracy of their results will benefit from this book. Much of the book can be understood with only a basic grounding in numerical analysis and linear algebra. About the Author Nicholas J. Higham is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester, England. He is the author of more than 40 publications and is a member of the editorial boards of the SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications and the IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis. His book Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences was published by SIAM in 1993.
