Efficient and rapid numerical evaluation of the two-electron, four-center Coulomb integrals using nonlinear transformations and useful properties of Sine and Bessel functions
Authors: Hassan Safouhi
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

Two-electron, four-center Coulomb integrals are undoubtedly the most difficult type involved in ab initio and density functional theory molecular structure calculations. Millions of such integrals are required for molecules of interest; therefore rapidity is the primordial criterion when the precision has been reached. This work presents an extremely efficient approach for improving convergence of semi-infinite very oscillatory integrals, based on the nonlinear D-transformation and some useful properties of spherical Bessel, reduced Bessel, and sine functions. The new method is now shown to be applicable to evaluating the two-electron, four-center Coulomb integrals over B functions. The section with numerical results illustrates the unprecedented efficiency of the new approach in evaluating the integrals of interest.

Schema modelling for automatic generation of multimedia presentations
Authors: Augusto Celentano, Ombretta Gaggi
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Multimedia documents are an effective way to present different kinds of information, since the integration of different media types gives more expressive power and opportunities to catch the user attention. A multimedia report is a multimedia presentation built on a set of data returned by one or more queries to multimedia repositories, integrated according to a schema with appropriate spatial layout and temporal synchronization, and coherently delivered to a user for browsing. We discuss the problem of defining schemas for such multimedia reports with a focus on the media coordination and synchronization constraints. Multimedia presentations can then be automatically generated according to the schema. We have defined an XML language to describe the spatial layout and the temporal constraints of the media objects, together with a visual authoring system helping the user to design the presentation template.
Making user-centred design common sense: striving for an unambiguous and communicative UCD process model
Authors: Timo Jokela
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

One challenge with regard to organisations and user-centred design (UCD) is to communicate the core substance of UCD to designers. For this purpose, we propose an outcome-driven, method-independent process model of UCD that was developed based on experiments in industrial settings. The model takes ISO 13407 and ISO 18529 as its base. The distinctive features of the new model are the identification of six UCD processes; the identification of process categories usability engineering and user interaction design; the definition of processes through outcomes; and the definition of the performance of the processes from three dimensions (quantity, quality, integration). We have used the model in the assessment of the performance of UCD processes --- the original purpose of the model --- and in project planning and training. Our experiments indicate that the model makes the essentials of UCD more comprehensible and easier to define. Furthermore, it responds to the challenge of integrating usability engineering and interaction design.
Conditional pre-charge techniques for power-efficient dual-edge clocking
Authors: Nikola Nedovic, Marko Aleksic, Vojin G. Oklobdzija
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

A new dual edge-triggered flip-flop that saves power by inhibiting transitions of the nodes that are not used to change the state is presented. The proposed flip-flop is 12% faster with 10% lower Energy-Delay Product for 50% data activity, as compared to the previously published dual edge-triggered storage elements. This was confirmed by simulation using 0.18um process, 1.8V power supply, and clock frequency of 250MHz. This flip-flop is particularly suitable for low-power applications.

Out-of-core sort-first parallel rendering for cluster-based tiled displays
Authors: Wagner T. Corrêa, James T. Klosowski, Cláudio T. Silva
Venue: Proceedings of the Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (2002)

We present a sort-first parallel system for out-of-core rendering of large models on cluster-based tiled displays. The system is able to render high-resolution images of large models at interactive frame rates using off-the-shelf PCs with small memory. Given a model, we use an out-of-core preprocessing algorithm to build an on-disk hierarchical representation for the model. At run time, each PC renders the image for a display tile, using an out-of-core rendering approach that employs multiple threads to overlap rendering, visibility computation, and disk operations. The system can operate in approximate mode for real-time rendering, or in conservative mode for rendering with guaranteed accuracy. Running our system in approximate mode on a cluster of 16 PCs each with 512 MB of main memory, we are able to render 12-megapixel images of a 13-million-trianglemodel with 99.3% of accuracy at 10.8 frames per second. Rendering such a large model at high resolutions and interactive frame rates would typically require expensive high-end graphics hardware. Our results show that a cluster of inexpensive PCs is an attractive alternative to those high-end systems.

Width-restricted layering of acyclic digraphs with consideration of dummy nodes
Authors: J&#x00FC;rgen Branke Stefan Leppert, Martin Middendorf, Peter Eades
Venue: Information Processing Letters (2002)

This paper deals with the problem of finding graph layerings restricted to a given maximal width. However, other than previous approaches for width-restricted layering, we take into account the space for dummy nodes, which are introduced by edges crossing a layer. The main result is that the problem of finding a width-restricted layering under consideration of dummy nodes is NP-complete even when all regular nodes have the same constant width and all dummy nodes have the same constant width.

Optimizing a 3D image reconstruction algorithm: investigating the interaction between the high-level implementation, the compiler and the architecture
Authors: Tom Vander Aa, Lieven Eeckhout, Bart Goeman, Hans Vandierendonck, Tanja Van Achteren, Rudy Lauwereins, Koen De Bosschere
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh Asia-Pacific conference on Computer systems architecture (2002)

Digital signal processing and multimedia workloads will be a dominant workload for computer based systems in the near future. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of an important media application, namely a relatively new 3D image reconstruction algorithm, on two platforms: a DSP processor (Texas Instruments TMS320C6701) and a high-performance general-purpose microprocessor (Alpha 21164). Prior to evaluating the performance of both architectural paradigms---very long instruction word (VLIW) versus an in-order superscalar organization---we optimized the algorithm by applying algorithmic optimizations as well as implementation-dependent optimizations. For the VLIW architecture, we obtained a 12X speedup for a 465x320 image; on the Alpha 21164, a 4X speedup was obtained. Thanks to this high speedup, this 3D image reconstruction algorithm becomes useful for real-time use. Next to evaluating the various optimizations, we also discuss the implications of these optimizations on the performance of various architectural structures, such as the branch predictor and the memory hierarchy.

The Boolean Hierarchy and the Polynomial Hierarchy: A Closer Connection
Authors: Richard Chang, Jim Kadin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (1996)

We show that if the Boolean hierarchy collapses to level $k$, then the polynomial hierarchy collapses to $BH_{3}(k)$, where $BH_{3}(k)$ is the $k$th level of the Boolean hierarchy over $\Sigma^{P}_{2}$. This is an improvement over the known results, which show that the polynomial hierarchy would collapse to $P^{NP^{NP}[O(\log n)]}$. This result is significant in two ways. First, the theorem says that a deeper collapse of the Boolean hierarchy implies a deeper collapse of the polynomial hierarchy. Also, this result points to some previously unexplored connections between the Boolean and query hierarchies of $Delta^{P}_{2}$ and $Delta^{P}_{3}$. Namely, \begin{eqnarray*} & BH(k) = {\rm co-}BH(k) \implies BH_{3}(k) = {\rm co-}BH_{3}(k), \\[\jot] & P^{{\rm NP}\|[k]} = P^{{\rm NP}\|[k+1]} \implies P^{{\rm NP}^{\rm NP}\|[k+1]} = P^{{\rm NP}^{\rm NP}\|[k+2]}. \end{eqnarray*}

Using Bayesian Networks to Manage Uncertainty in Student Modeling
Authors: Cristina Conati, Abigail Gertner, Kurt Vanlehn
Venue: User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction (2002)

When a tutoring system aims to provide students with interactive help, it needs to know what knowledge the student has and what goals the student is currently trying to achieve. That is, it must do both assessment and plan recognition. These modeling tasks involve a high level of uncertainty when students are allowed to follow various lines of reasoning and are not required to show all their reasoning explicitly. We use Bayesian networks as a comprehensive, sound formalism to handle this uncertainty. Using Bayesian networks, we have devised the probabilistic student models for Andes, a tutoring system for Newtonian physics whose philosophy is to maximize student initiative and freedom during the pedagogical interaction. Andes' models provide long-term knowledge assessment, plan recognition, and prediction of students' actions during problem solving, as well as assessment of students' knowledge and understanding as students read and explain worked out examples. In this paper, we describe the basic mechanisms that allow Andes' student models to soundly perform assessment and plan recognition, as well as the Bayesian network solutions to issues that arose in scaling up the model to a full-scale, field evaluated application. We also summarize the results of several evaluations of Andes which provide evidence on the accuracy of its student models.
