BGRAF2: a real-time graphics language with modular objects and implicit dynamics
Authors: S. Bergman, A. Kaufman
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

The BGRAF2 language for interactive real-time 2D graphics was designed as a user-oriented language emphasizing ease of use rather than of implementation. Procedural statements allow straightforward computation while classlike characteristics encourage modular graphics programming. The clock and event data types facilitate creation of parallel and synchronous procedures automatically acting on structures and display files. A graphic procedure, which includes procedural, drawing and event-driven statements, is a graphic prototype. Such procedures may be nested and iteratively or recursively called. An individual invocation of a procedure, called a graphic object, shares code while commanding its own data structures and images.
Explicit Algorithms for a New Time Dependent Model Based on Level Set Motion for Nonlinear Deblurring and Noise Removal
Authors: Antonio Marquina, Stanley Osher
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

In this paper we formulate a time dependent model to approximate the solution to the nonlinear total variation optimization problem for deblurring and noise removal introduced by Rudin and Osher [ Total variation based image restoration with free local constraints, in Proceedings IEEE Internat. Conf. Imag. Proc., IEEE Press, Piscataway, NJ, (1994), pp. 31--35] and Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi [ Phys. D, 60 (1992), pp. 259--268], respectively. Our model is based on level set motion whose steady state is quickly reached by means of an explicit procedure based on Roe's scheme [ J. Comput. Phys., 43 (1981), pp. 357--372], used in fluid dynamics. We show numerical evidence of the speed of resolution and stability of this simple explicit procedure in some representative 1D and 2D numerical examples.

Compariing parallel multidimensional integration algorithms
Authors: I. Gladwell, M. A. Napierala
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

We consider the design and implementation of new parallel globally adaptive multidimensional numerical integration algorithms. We describe a pair of algorithms (implemented in MPI on an IBM SP2); one uses a master-slave paradigm and the other is genuinely distributed. Then, we describe modifications of these algorithms to take advantage of a singularity detection scheme. The most obvious competitors for globally adaptive schemes in high dimensions are algorithms based on lattice rules. We compare our globally adaptive strategy with the straightforward implementation of a lattice rule algorithm paying attention to the quality of the respective error estimates. The lattice rule algorithm implementations involve computing new "seeds" for larger numbers of points than used previously, a significant though straightforward computational task.
FLANNEL: adding computation to electronic mail during transmission
Authors: Victoria Bellotti, Nicolas Ducheneaut, Mark Howard, Christine Neuwirth, Ian Smith, Trevor Smith
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2002)

In this paper, we describe FLANNEL, an architecture for adding computational capabilities to email. FLANNEL allows email to be modified by an application while in transit between sender and receiver. This modification is done without modification to the endpoints---mail clients---at either end. This paper also describes interaction techniques that we have developed to allow senders of email to quickly and easily select computations to be performed by FLANNEL. Through, our experience, we explain the properties that applications must have in order to be successful in the context of FLANNEL.
Developing Software with UML: Object-Oriented Analysis and Design in Practice
Authors: Bernd Oestereich
Venue:  (1999)

:Are you a software developer or project manager looking to exploit the power of object technology in your development process for the first time? Do you need a practical, example-driven introduction to object-oriented analysis and design? If so, look no further. This book explains the benefits of using the object-oriented approach for software development as well as providing a state-of-the-art account of the technology available. Employing numerous real-life examples to illustrate its application, the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in object-oriented analysis and design is explained systematically by an experienced practitioner. The first part of the book takes the reader step-by-step through the development process using one continuous example to show how each principle and concept is applied in practice. The second part explains the basics of UML in detail, with individual examples. Numerous cross-references between the two parts mean that readers can follow the software development example, learning the appropriate features of UML as they become relevant. For more advanced readers, the book may be treated as a tutorial on the application of UML.

Reconstructing permutation matrices from diagonal sums
Authors: Alberto Del Lungo
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In this paper, we present a result concerning the reconstruction of permutation matrices from their diagonal sums. The problem of reconstructing a sum of k permutation matrices from its diagonal sums is NP-complete. We prove that a simple variant of this problem in which the permutation matrices lie on a cylinder instead of on a plane can be solved in polynomial time. We give an exact, algebraic characterization of the diagonal sums that correspond to a sum of permutation matrices. Then, we derive an O(kn2)-time algorithm for reconstructing the sum of k permutation matrices of order n from their diagonal sums. We obtain these results by means of a generalization of a classical theorem of Hall on the finite abelian groups.

Fast bilateral filtering for the display of high-dynamic-range images
Authors: Frédo Durand, Julie Dorsey
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

We present a new technique for the display of high-dynamic-range images, which reduces the contrast while preserving detail. It is based on a two-scale decomposition of the image into a base layer, encoding large-scale variations, and a detail layer. Only the base layer has its contrast reduced, thereby preserving detail. The base layer is obtained using an edge-preserving filter called the bilateral filter. This is a non-linear filter, where the weight of each pixel is computed using a Gaussian in the spatial domain multiplied by an influence function in the intensity domain that decreases the weight of pixels with large intensity differences. We express bilateral filtering in the framework of robust statistics and show how it relates to anisotropic diffusion. We then accelerate bilateral filtering by using a piecewise-linear approximation in the intensity domain and appropriate subsampling. This results in a speed-up of two orders of magnitude. The method is fast and requires no parameter setting.
Exceptions as types
Authors: Pascal Leroy
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2001)

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new language feature, dubbed exception types, to support a more flexible exception paradigm in Ada. This mechanism attempts to retain compatibility with Ada 95, while providing a general communication framework similar to that which exists in C++ or Java.Ada 83 had a very basic exception mechanism. It was not possible to pass information when raising an exception, and exceptions were not integrated with the overall type structure of the language, making it impossible to pass exception-related information to subprograms, or to store it in data structures, etc.Ada 95 added slightly more powerful capabilities in this area, with the facilities provided by the predefined package Ada.Exceptions. However, the new mechanism is still only intended for very basic error detection and logging, and doesn't provide a general-purpose communication mechanism. It has the merit of clarifying the notions of exception identity and exception occurrence, but exceptions are still not integrated with the typing model like protected objects or tasks are.It is in fact possible to use the Message associated with an exception occurrence to pass (relatively small) objects when raising an exception, but this has to be done by marshalling the object into the string. While adequate for some purposes, this approach is unnecessarily contrived.This situation is very unfortunate, because other modern programming languages like C++ or Java, which are in other ways inferior to Ada, have a much more powerful exception mechanism.
