A novel navigation paradigm for XML repositories
Authors: Alain Azagury, Michael E. Factor, Yoelle S. Maarek, Benny Mandler
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

The advances in storage and communications enable users to store massive amounts of data, and to share it seamlessly with their peers. With the advent of XML, we expect a significant portion of this data to be in XML format. We describe here the architecture and implementation of an XML repository that promotes a novel navigation paradigm for XML documents based on content and context. Support for these capabilities is achieved by bringing to bear the organizational power of information retrieval to the domain of semistructured documents. File systems remain the preferred storage infrastructure for the home and business desktop environments. We have built a system, XMLFS, based on the ideas stated above. XMLFS presents a storage abstraction that manifests itself to the client as a familiar file system. However, it breaks the tight coupling between the directory hierarchical structure and the file system. XMLFS creates automatically a directory organization of any XML document collection based on content and context. Each user can navigate through the file system according to her/his domain of interest at that point in time. Our result is a first step towards a solution to the discovery and navigation problems presented by the collective repositories of XML documents in peer-to-peer environments.

Molecular dynamics simulation of large-scale carbon nanotubes on a shared-memory architecture
Authors: Deepak Srivastava, Stephen T. Barnard
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

Carbon nanotubes are expected to play a significant role in the design and manufacture of many nano-mechanical and nano-electronic devices of future. It is important, therefore, that atomic level elastomechanical response properties of both single and multiwall nanotubes be investigated in detail. Classical molecular dynamics simulations employing Brenner's reactive potential with long range van der Waals interactions have been used in mechanistic response studies of carbon nanotubes to external strains. The studies of single and multiwalled carbon nanotubes under compressive strains show the instabilities beyond elastic response. Due to inclusion of non-bonded long range interactions, the simulations also show the redistribution of strain and strain energy from sideways bucklng to the formation of highly localized strained kink sites. Bond rearrangements occur at the kink sites, leading to formation of topological defects, preventing the tube from relaxing fully back to it's original configuration. Elastomechanic response behavior of single and multiwall carbon nanotubes to externally applied compressive strains is simulated and studied in detail. We will describe the results and discuss their implication towards the stability of any molecular mechanical structure made of carbon nanotubes.

Space lower bounds for distance approximation in the data stream model
Authors: Michael Saks, Xiaodong Sun
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) We consider the problem of approximating the distance of two d-dimensional vectors x and y in the data stream model. In this model, the 2d coordinates are presented as a "stream" of data in some arbitrary order, where each data item includes the index and value of some coordinate and a bit that identifies the vector (x or y) to which it belongs. The goal is to minimize the amount of memory needed to approximate the distance. For the case of Lp-distance with p &egr; [1,2], there are good approximation algorithms that run in polylogarithmic space in d (here we assume that each coordinate is an integer with O(log d) bits). Here we prove that they do not exist for p&rho;2. In particular, we prove an optimal approximation-space tradeoff of approximating L&infty; distance of two vectors. We show that any randomized algorithm that approximates L&infty; distance of two length d vectors within factor of d&dgr; requires &omega;(d1&mdash;4&dgr;) space. As a consequence we show that for p&rho;2/(1&mdash;4&dgr;), any randomized algorithm that approximate Lp distance of two length d vectors within a factor d&dgr; requires &omega;(d 1&mdash; 2< \over p&mdash;4&dgr;) space.The lower bound follows from a lower bound on the two-party one-round communication complexity of this problem. This lower bound is proved using a combination of information theory and Fourier analysis.

Authors: Hassan Gomaa
Venue:  (1993)

:real-time, and distributed systems, describing the concepts most important in their design, and surveys the design methods available for them. Drawing on his experience in industry, he takes two related object-oriented methods - ADARTS (Ada-based Design Approach for Real-Time Systems) and CODARTS (Concurrent Design Approach for Real-Time Systems) - and shows in detail how they can be applied. The author first introduces the reader to real-time and concurrency concepts, and reviews the background in software design and development needed for the balance of the book. He then describes a number of methods that can be used for real-time and concurrent system design, comparing them through application to a common problem. Methods described include Real-time Structured Analysis and Design, Jackson System Development, Naval Research Lab/Software Cost Reduction, and Object Oriented Design. For each design method treated, the author presents the concepts on which it is based, the steps used in its application, and an assessment of its effectiveness. Gomaa then focuses on ADARTS, a practical method developed by the author and proven over time, and CODARTS, which contains the author's latest ideas on software analysis and design. The final part of the book features practical case studies in which the ADARTS and CODARTS methods are demonstrated. Highlights Provides a basic understanding of concepts and issues in concurrent system design, while surveying and comparing a range of applicable design methods. Elaborates two object-oriented design methods for the effective design of concurrent and real-time systems. Describes a practical approach forapplying real-time scheduling theory to analyze the performance of real-time designs.

Editorial message: special track on coordination models, languages and applications
Authors: Andrea Omicini, Sascha Ossowski
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

The notion of coordination is more and more pervading many research fields both inside and outside Computer Science. Many research areas such as software engineering, intelligent systems, agent technologies, Internet applications, programming languages, parallel and distributed computing, all raise issues that concern the interaction among different sorts of entities --- processes, objects, components, agents --- as well as its management. Despite their apparent diversity, this wide and heterogeneous range of problems actually exhibit large overlaps, and can be effectively faced and solved using a relatively reduced set of conceptual tools --- the notion of coordination model among the main ones. The purpose of a coordination model is represent and shape the space of interaction among entities --- whatever they are, however they interact. >From an engineering viewpoint, coordination languages and systems should enable engineers to integrate a number of possibly heterogeneous components, and to govern their interaction so as to form a (potentially distributed) software system with desired characteristics and functionalities.Accordingly, the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes deliberately a broad view of what is coordination. Besides the traditional areas covering data-driven, control-driven, and hybrid models and languages, the track invited contributions from several areas where the concept of coordination is relevant, such as multiagent systems, Web applications, software architectures, middleware platforms, knowledge-based systems, groupware and workflow management, etc.In response to the call for papers, 42 high quality submissions from 18 different countries were submitted to this special track, and fed into the reviewing process. Altogether, there were more than 100 reviewers, and over 235 reviews were submitted by them --- an average of more than 5 reviews for each paper. Based on the reviewers' reports, the general ACM SAC guidelines for acceptance and rejection of submissions, and the unavoidable time and space constraints associated with any conference, it was possible to select only 16 of these submissions as regular papers for presentation at the track. In the process, a number of good and interesting papers had to be rejected. Among the papers presented at the special track, a further selection and revision process will lead to the publication of a Special Issue on Coordination and Knowledge Engineering that will appear on The Knowledge Engineering Review (http://uk.cambridge.org/journals/ker/).

View management for virtual and augmented reality
Authors: Blaine Bell, Steven Feiner, Tobias Höllerer
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

We describe a view-management component for interactive 3D user interfaces. By view management, we mean maintaining visual constraints on the projections of objects on the view plane, such as locating related objects near each other, or preventing objects from occluding each other. Our view-management component accomplishes this by modifying selected object properties, including position, size, and transparency, which are tagged to indicate their constraints. For example, some objects may have geometric properties that are determined entirely by a physical simulation and which cannot be modified, while other objects may be annotations whose position and size are flexible.We introduce algorithms that use upright rectangular extents to represent on the view plane a dynamic and efficient approximation of the occupied space containing the projections of visible portions of 3D objects, as well as the unoccupied space in which objects can be placed to avoid occlusion. Layout decisions from previous frames are taken into account to reduce visual discontinuities. We present augmented reality and virtual reality examples to which we have applied our approach, including a dynamically labeled and annotated environment.

A cryptographic solution to implement access control in a hierarchy and more
Authors: Indrakshi Ray, Indrajit Ray, Natu Narasimhamurthi
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

The need for access control in a hierarchy arises in several different contexts. One such context is managing the information of an organization where the users are divided into different security classes depending on who has access to what. Several cryptographic solutions have been proposed to address this problem --- the solutions are based on generating cryptographic keys for each security class such that the key for a lower level security class depends on the key for the security class that is higher up in the hierarchy. Most solutions use complex cryptographic techniques: integrating these into existing systems may not be trivial. Others have impractical requirement: if a user at a security level wants to access data at lower levels, then all intermediate nodes must be traversed. Moreover, if there is an access control policy that does not conform to the hierarchical structure, such policy cannot be handled by existing solutions. We propose a new solution that overcomes the above mentioned shortcomings. Our solution not only addresses the problem of access control in a hierarchy but also can be used for general cases. It is a scheme similar to the RSA cryptosystem and can be easily incorporated in existing systems.
