Optimal Euler Circuit of Maximum Contiguous Cost
Authors: Yu Qiao, Makoto Yasuhara
Venue: IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences (2007)

This paper introduces a new graph problem to find an Optimal Euler Circuit (OEC) in an Euler graph. OEC is defined as the Euler circuit that maximizes the sum of contiguous costs along it, where the contiguous cost is assigned for each of the two contiguous edges incident to a vertex. We prove that the OEC problem is NP-complete. A polynomial time algorithm will be presented for the case of a graph without vertex of degree greater than 4, and for the general case, a 1/4-approximation polynomial time algorithm will be proposed.
MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide (MySQL Press)
Authors: Paul DuBois, Stefan Hinz, Carsten Pedersen
Venue:  (2005)

This is the official guide to passing the two MySQL certification tests for MySQL 5, the long-awaited major revision of MySQL. It includes a voucher for 25 percent off either exam-a $50 value! The number of MySQL certification exams taken has doubled in the last six months.Certcities.com lists the MySQL certification as one of the top 10 certifications to grow in 2005. MySQL professionals need a way to distinguish themselves from the vast majority of database administrators and developers. With more than 4 million active installations, MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. Known for its speed, reliability and case of use, MySQL has become a low-cost alternative to expensive database systems such as Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. MySQL AB has aggressively improved the feature set of MySQL with MySQL 5, making it more suitable for enterprise-level applications and uses. The MySQL certification tests, available at over 3,000 PearsonVUE testing centers, is a key component of this enterprise growth strategy, establishing a base level of skills for database users, administrators and programmers.The MySQL Core Certification is aimed at the database user who wants proof of his or her abilities in such fundamental areas as SQL, data entry and maintenance, and data extraction. The MySQL Professional Certification test is designed for the advanced user who wants to prove his or her knowledge in such areas as database management, installation, security, disaster prevention and optimization. Both tests are thoroughly covered in the MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide. Written by Paul DuBois, the leading author of books on MySQL topics, and reviewed for technical accuracy by MySQL AB, this book is the fastest, most reliable way for MySQL users, developers, and administrators to prepare for either of the MySQL tests.
As simple as possible, but no simpler: a gentle introduction to simulation modeling
Authors: Paul J. Sánchez
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

We start with basic terminology and concepts of modeling, and decompose the art of modeling as a process. This overview of the process helps clarify when we should or should not use simulation models. We discuss some common missteps made by many inexperienced modelers, and propose a concrete approach for avoiding those mistakes. After a quick review of event graphs, which are a very straightforward notation for discrete event systems, we illustrate how an event graph can be translated quite directly to a computer program with the aid of a surprisingly simple library. The resulting programs are easy to implement and computationally are extremely efficient. The first half of the paper focuses principles of modeling, and should be of general interest. The second half will be of interest to students, teachers, and readers who wish to know how simulation models work and how to implement them from the ground up.
ACL2 in DrScheme
Authors: Dale Vaillancourt, Rex Page, Matthias Felleisen
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth international workshop on the ACL2 theorem prover and its applications (2006)

Teaching undergraduates to develop software in a formal framework such as ACL2 poses two immediate challenges. First, students typically do not know applicative programming and are often unfamiliar with ACL2's syntax. Second, for motivational reasons, students prefer to work on projects that involve designing interactive, graphical applications.In this paper, we present DRACULA, a pedagogic programming environment that partially solves these problems. The environment adds a subset of Applicative Common Lisp to DRSCHEME, an integrated programming environment for Scheme. DRACULA thus inherits DRSCHEME's pedagogic capabilities, especially its treatment of syntax and run-time errors. Further, DRACULA also comes with a library for programming interactive, graphical games. The library interface forces students to think of a graphical user interface in terms of state-transition functions, enabling them later to prove theorems about their games in ACL2. DRACULA provides a graphical front-end to the ACL2 theorem prover for this purpose. In short, DRACULA allows the formulation of student projects that represent an important intermediate point between data structure exercises in theorem proving and industrial applications.

Modeling conversation policies using permissions and obligations
Authors: Lalana Kagal, Tim Finin
Venue: Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (2007)

Both conversation specifications and policies are required to facilitate effective agent communication. Specifications provide the order in which speech acts can occur in a meaningful conversation, whereas policies restrict the specifications that can be used in a certain conversation based on the sender, receiver, messages exchanged thus far, content, and other context. We propose that positive/negative permissions and obligations be used to model conversation specifications and policies. We also propose the use of ontologies to categorize speech acts such that high level policies can be defined without going into specifics of the speech acts. This approach is independent of the syntax and semantics of the communication language and can be used for different agent communication languages. Our policy based framework can help in agent communication in three ways: (i) to filter inappropriate messages, (ii) to help an agent to decide which speech act to use next, and (iii) to prevent an agent from sending inappropriate messages. Our work differs from most existing research on communication policies because it is not tightly coupled to any domain information such as the mental states of agents or specific communicative acts. Contributions of this work include: (i) an extensible framework that is applicable to varied domain knowledge and different agent communication languages, and (ii) the declarative representation of conversation specifications and policies in terms of permitted and obligated speech acts.
Complexity of hyperconcepts
Authors: Joel Ratsaby
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2006)

In machine-learning, maximizing the sample margin can reduce the learning generalization error. Samples on which the target function has a large margin (γ) convey more information since they yield more accurate hypotheses. Let X be a finite domain and S denote the set of all samples S ⊆ X of fixed cardinality m. Let H be a class of hypotheses h on X. A hyperconcept h' is defined as an indicator function for a set A ⊆ S of all samples on which the corresponding hypothesis h has a margin of at least γ. An estimate on the complexity of the class H' of hyperconcepts h' is obtained with explicit dependence on γ, the pseudodimension of H and m.

A highly efficient M/G/&infin; generator of self-similar traces
Authors: María Estrella Sousa-Vieira, Andrés Suárez-González, Manuel Fernández-Veiga, Cándido López-García, Raúl Fernando Rodríguez-Rubio
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

Several traffic measurements reports have convincingly shown the presence of self-similarity in current networks, inducing a revolution in the stochastic modeling of traffic. The essence of this behavior can be captured by several classes of self-similar processes. But the use of these processes in performance analysis has opened new problems and research issues in simulation studies, where the efficient generation of synthetic sample paths with self-similar properties is one of the main topics. In this paper, we present an M/G/&infin; generator of self-similar traces, based on a highly efficient simulation model using the decomposition property of Poisson processes and the memoryless property of geometric random variables.
Computing statistics for Hamiltonian systems: A case study
Authors: P. F. Tupper
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2007)

We present the results of a set of numerical experiments designed to investigate the appropriateness of various integration schemes for molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, we wish to identify which numerical methods, when applied to an ergodic Hamiltonian system, sample the state-space in an unbiased manner. We do this by describing two Hamiltonian system for which we can analytically compute some of the important statistical features of its trajectories, and then applying various numerical integration schemes to them. We can then compare the results from the numerical simulation against the exact results for the system and see how closely they agree. The statistic we study is the empirical distribution of particle velocity over long trajectories of the systems. We apply four methods: one symplectic method (Stormer-Verlet) and three energy-conserving step-and-project methods. The symplectic method performs better on both test problems, accurately computing empirical distributions for all step-lengths consistent with stability. Depending on the test system and the method, the step-and-project methods are either no longer ergodic for any step length (thus giving the wrong empirical distribution) or give the correct distribution only in the limit of step-size going to zero.

Inferring a level-1 phylogenetic network from a dense set of rooted triplets
Authors: Jesper Jansson, Wing-Kin Sung
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2006)

We consider the following problem: Given a set J of rooted triplets with leaf set L, determine whether there exists a phylogenetic network consistent with J, and if so, construct one. We show that if no restrictions are placed on the hybrid nodes in the solution, the problem is trivially solved in polynomial time by a simple sorting network-based construction. For the more interesting (and biologically more motivated) case where the solution is required to be a level-1 phylogenetic network, we present an algorithm solving the problem in O(|T|2) time when T is dense, i.e., when T contains at least one rooted triplet for each cardinality three subset of L. We also give an O(|T|5/3)-time algorithm for finding the set of all phylogenetic networks having a single hybrid node attached to exactly one leaf (and having no other hybrid nodes) that are consistent with a given dense set of rooted triplets.
A temporal argumentative system
Authors: Juan C. Augusto, Guillermo R. Simari
Venue: AI Communications (1999)

There are numerous areas in Computer Science where time plays a fundamental role. This role is not a minor one in Artificial Intelligence. Since the goal of Artificial Intelligence is to capture the human abilities for problem solving, the consideration of temporal concepts becomes indispensable. An intelligent agent uses temporal references in its communication and in its deductive processes constantly and decisively. Therefore, a great number of formalisms have been proposed to provide temporal reasoning capabilities.During the last few years, as part of the work developed in the nonmonotonic reasoning area, the argumentative systems have been developed. These systems were designed to provide defeasible or tentative reasoning capabilities.Here we explore the confluence of both areas&colon; temporal and defeasible reasoning. Our purpose is to add to the argumentative reasoning language the possibility of explicitly referencing time to be able to reason about occurrences taking into account the moment in which they took place.
Automatic Real-Time Selection and Annotation of Highlight Scenes in Televised Soccer
Authors: Masanori Sano, Ichiro Yamada, Hideki Sumiyoshi, Nobuyuki Yagi
Venue: IEICE - Transactions on Information and Systems (2007)

We describe an online method for selecting and annotating highlight scenes in soccer matches being televised. The stadium crowd noise and the play-by-play announcer's voice are used as input signals. Candidate scenes for highlights are extracted from the crowd noise by dynamic thresholding and spectral envelope analysis. Using a dynamic threshold solves the problem in conventional methods of how to determine an appropriate threshold. Semantic-meaning information about the kind of play and the related team and player is extracted from the announcer's commentary by using domain-based rules. The information extracted from the two types of audio input is integrated to generate segment-metadata of highlight scenes. Application of the method to six professional soccer games has confirmed its effectiveness.
