Analytical models for replicate-at-send multicasting in shared-memory switches
Authors: Julian D. Ho, Samar Singh, Neeraj K. Sharma
Venue: Performance Evaluation (2002)

Shared-memory switches are still in commercial use and in the future will possibly be used in large-scale multistage architectures. The need to handle multicasting is also growing. In this paper analytical models are presented for shared-memory switches with the Replicate-At-Send-distinct address queue multicast scheme. Models for both Random (Bernoulli) and Bursty (Correlated) traffic sources are presented. The models are accurate for various loads, with different ratios of multicast traffic and a range of fanout sizes. They can be further extended to analyse more complex multicast schemes or multistage architectures.

The Method of Regularized Stokeslets
Authors: Ricardo Cortez
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

A numerical method for computing Stokes flows in the presence of immersed boundaries and obstacles is presented. The method is based on the smoothing of the forces, leading to regularized Stokeslets. The resulting expressions provide the pressure and velocity field as functions of the forcing. The latter expression can also be inverted to find the forces that impose a given velocity boundary condition. The numerical examples presented demonstrate the wide applicability of the method and its properties. Solutions converge with second-order accuracy when forces are exerted along smooth boundaries. Examples of segmented boundaries and forcing at random points are also presented.

An interactive fashion design system "INFADS"
Authors: Tosiyasu L. Kunii, Takako Amano, Hiroshi Arisawa, Sachiko Okada
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

This paper describes an application of a color graphic display system "INFADS" to a fashion design process using man-machine conversation. One of the main characteristics of the system is the interactive design facility created by combining a color picture processing system with a data base system. Another important characteristic is the introduction of a new recursive concept of "picture" and "texture". Some advantages of describing fashion data in a relational data base are discussed in connection with the need for data independence and the need for the semantic retrieval of pictorial data via a data description scheme.
Dynamic Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection with No-Shorting Constraints
Authors: Xun Li, Xun Yu Zhou, Andrew E. B. Lim
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

This paper is concerned with mean-variance portfolio selection problems in continuous-time under the constraint that short-selling of stocks is prohibited. The problem is formulated as a stochastic optimal linear-quadratic (LQ) control problem. However, this LQ problem is not a conventional one in that the control (portfolio) is constrained to take nonnegative values due to the no-shorting restriction, and thereby the usual Riccati equation approach (involving a "completion of squares") does not apply directly. In addition, the corresponding Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman (HJB) equation inherently has no smooth solution. To tackle these difficulties, a continuous function is constructed via two Riccati equations, and then it is shown that this function is a viscosity solution to the HJB equation. Solving these Riccati equations enables one to explicitly obtain the efficient frontier and efficient investment strategies for the original mean-variance problem. An example illustrating these results is also presented.
Heuristics for semi-external depth first search on directed graphs
Authors: Jop F. Sibeyn, James Abello, Ulrich Meyer
Venue: Proceedings of the fourteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallel algorithms and architectures (2002)

Computing the strong components of a directed graph is an essential operation for a basic structural analysis of it. This problem can be solved by twice running a depth-first search (DFS). In an external setting, in which all data can no longer be stored in the main memory, the DFS problem is unsolved so far. Assuming that node-related data can be stored internally, semi-external computing does not make the problem substantially easier. Considering the definite need to analyze very large graphs, we have developed a set of heuristics which together allow the performance of semi-external DFS for directed graphs in practice. The heuristics have been applied to graphs with very different graph properties, including "web graphs" as described in the most recent literature and some large call graphs from ATT. Depending on the graph structure, the program is between 10 and 200 times faster than the best alternative, a factor that will further increase with future technological developments.

Chinese keyword extraction based on max-duplicated strings of the documents
Authors: Wenfeng Yang
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

The corpus analysis methods in Chinese keyword extraction look on the corpus as a single sample of language stochastic process. But the distributions of keywords in the whole corpus and in each document are very different from each other. The extraction based on global statistical information only can get significant keywords in the whole corpus. Max-duplicated strings contain the local significant keywords in each document. In this paper, we designed an efficient algorithm to extract the max-duplicated strings by building PAT-tree for the document, so that the keywords can be picked out from the max-duplicated strings by their SIG values in the corpus.
The Richardson Extrapolation Process with a Harmonic Sequence of Collocation Points
Authors: Avram Sidi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

Let $A(y)\sim A+\sum^\infty_{k=1}\alpha_ky^{\sigma_k}$ as $y\rightarrow 0+$, where y is a discrete or continuous variable. Assume that $\sigma_k$ are known numbers that may be complex in general and that A(y,) is known for $y\in(0,b]$ for some b>0. The aim is to find or approximate A, the limit or antilimit of A(y) as $y\rightarrow0+$. One very effective way of approximating A is by the Richardson extrapolation process that is defined via the linear systems $A(y_l)=A^{(j)}_n + \sum^n_{k=1} \overline{\alpha}_ky^{\sigma_k}_l, \ j\leq l\leq j+n$. Here $A^{(j)}_n$ are approximations to A and $\overline{\alpha}_k$ are additional unknowns. The yl are picked such that y0> y1 > y2 > . . . > 0 and $\lim_{l\rightarrow \infty} y_l = 0$. In this paper we give a detailed analysis of the convergence and stability of the column sequences ${\{A^{(j)}_n\}}^\infty_{j=0}$ with n fixed, when $y_l=c/(l+\eta)^q$ for some positive c, $\eta$, and q. Specifically, we prove that convergence takes place as $j\to\infty$ and give the precise rate at which it does. We also prove that the process is unstable and quantify its instability asymptotically. This instability may be dealt with numerically by using high-precision floating-point arithmetic.

A re-weighting strategy for improving margins
Authors: Fabio Aiolli, Alessandro Sperduti
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2002)

We present a simple general scheme for improving margins that is inspired on well known margin theory principles. The scheme is based on a sample re-weighting strategy. The very basic idea is in fact to add to the training set new replicas of samples which are not classified with a sufficient margin. As a study case, we present a new algorithm, namely TVQ, which is an instance of the proposed scheme and involves a tangent distance based 1-NN classifier implementing a sort of quantization of the tangent distance prototypes. The tangent distance models created in this way have shown a significant improvement in generalization power with respect to standard tangent models. Moreover, the obtained models were able to outperform other state of the art algorithms, such as SVM, in an OCR task.

Javascript for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide, 2nd edition
Authors: Tom Negrino, Dori Smith
Venue:  (1997)

:For the hundreds of thousands of Web enthusiasts who made their first foray into programming with the simple tagging language of HTML, JavaScript is the next step. JavaScript is a programming language designed to be used in conjunction with HTML, making HTML more powerful and interactive. It is now fully supported in Netscape Navigator 3. With JavaScript, Web page creators without deep technical experience can embed commands into their HTML pages that call up pre-cooked Java animations, add clocks and other time-based features , allow web pages to ask questions and gather information from visitors to the page, and provide other simple controls. While other JavaScript books are intended for experienced programmers, this one is for the vast majority of HTML coders who are less technically sophisticated but still would like to get their feet wet. This revamped edition provides an easy bridge for HTML users who are ready to tackle JavaScript. The book is aimed at the large group of less technical Web authors who know HTML but know nothing about programming. Web designers will learn how to use JavaScript the quick and easy way with pictures rather than lengthy explanations.
Visualizing the Semantic Web: Xml-Based Internet and Information Visualization
Authors: Chaomei Chen
Venue:  (2002)

:The Web has evolved from HTML quite dramatically over the last few years with revolutionary techniques for content and structural modeling, including XML (eXtensible Markup Language), RDF (Resource Definition Framework) and Topic Maps. Compared to HTML, the content of XML documents is enriched with semantic and structural features, and also is completely separated from its visual appearance. This allows a Web document to be displayed in any desired form. Given such an unrestricted choice, many companies and end users prefer a graphically rich document appearance with effective visual access to semantic and structural information. Visualizing the Semantic Web: XML-based Internet and Information Visualization is the first book dealing specifically with visualization of the Second-Generation Web. It presents the state-of-the-art research in this area and focuses on key topics such as: * The nature of the Semantic Web and its relationship to Information Visualization * Visualization of semantic and structural information and metadata * Ontology-based and Topic Maps visualizations * Visual interfaces for retrieving, browsing and mapping semantic information * SVG/X3D as new visualization techniques for the semantic web * Methods used to construct high quality metadata / metadata taxonomies * Recommender systems, interface issues related to filtering and recommending on the Web * A comparative analysis of web services and the semantic web * Semantic-oriented use of existing visualization methods * Semantically enhanced solutions for the medical community The design of semantically and graphically enriched interfaces for e-commerce and information retrieval and presentation iscurrently a challenging area of practical Web development. Most of the techniques and methods discussed can be applied now, making this book essential reading for visualization researchers as well as XML and Web developers.

C# for Windows Programming
Authors: Chris H. Pappas, William Murray
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:PrefaceThis is a book designed for you, the programmer, who has a good operating knowledge of C/C++. If you have experience developing Windows applications, you will be one step ahead of everyone else! The book's purpose is to introduce you to the key elements of the C# language in the context of developing Windows applications with this language. The book quickly examines the key features of C# then moves you into the world of Windows application development. You will learn programming strategies for Windows that will make writing code in C# that much easier. This book teaches by example. We have tried to include all of the important features common to most Windows applications in this book. The examples include all of the programming codenot just parts of it. For experienced programmers this might seem like overkill, but life has taught us that just when you need ita full program listing is likely to help explain even the most difficult programming concept. C# appears to be taking a 180-degree turn from the traditional C++ with MFC programming, which is so familiar to Windows programmers. While the language is most definitely C-like, the interface is not the traditional SDK. Instead, it is more closely associated with Visual Basic language because of its use of forms, controls, etc. You are going to love this environment! This book will highlight the radical departure of C# Windows application development from traditional Windows application development. Programmers retain C/C++ elements with C#, but use an easier drag and drop design. This single revision may revolutionize Windows application design. Get rget excitedWindows application development has never been easier!
Using XML as a means to access legislative documents: Italian and foreign experiences
Authors: Andrea Marchetti, Fabrizio Megale, Enrico Seta, Fabio Vitali
Venue: ACM SIGAPP Applied Computing Review (2002)

In this paper we describe the goals and the organisation of the ongoing project "Norme in Rete" (NIR --- http://www.normeinrete.it), which involves several important Italian institutions and organisations. This project aims at the production of tools for the access to Italian normative documents, and data formats for the standardisation of the text of laws and rules both national and local. One of its many goals is the conversion of the national law corpus into XML.Within the context of this project, our effort has concentrated on the development of an XML DTD already, and of an XML Schema very soon, to describe Italian national and local laws. We illustrate in this paper the overall structure of the DTDs. They are organised in a stricter, normative set of rules, with normative power, for new law drafts, and of a looser, descriptive set of rules for existing documents over which no rules can be imposed. In this paper we examine both types of DTD (strict and loose), their global organisation, the modules for legal elements, for textual and tabular tags (resembling HTML), and for modular, generic elements, that allow easy extendibility to the DTD. Also the treatment of meta-information is examined in this paper.We produce a short account of several analogous experiences in Northern Europe, carried out by both public institutions and private legal publishers. Mention is also made of the European Union's similar projects.
