Curvature-Augmented Tensor Voting for Shape Inference from Noisy 3D Data
Authors: Chi-Keung Tang, Gérard Medioni
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

We improve the basic tensor voting formalism to infer the sign and direction of principal curvatures at each input site from noisy 3D data. Unlike most previous approaches, no local surface fitting, partial derivative computation, nor oriented normal vector recovery is performed in our method. These approaches are known to be noise-sensitive since accurate partial derivative information is often required, which is usually unavailable from real data. Also, unlike approaches that detect signs of Gaussian curvature, we can handle points with zero Gaussian curvature uniformly, without first localizing them in a separate process. The tensor voting curvature estimation is noniterative, does not require initialization, and is robust to a considerable amount of outlier noise, as its effect is reduced by collecting a large number of tensor votes. Qualitative and quantitative results on synthetic and real, complex data are presented.
Object-Oriented Frameworks Using C++ and CORBA: Gold Book
Authors: Vishwajit Aklecha
Venue:  (1999)

:Explains object-oriented application frameworks, which are collections of related objects created to handle routine operations in an application program. Treats ORBs and CORBA as an integral part of an application, built right into the application framework. Explains the fundamentals of UML and Design Patterns and then uses those methodologies in the subsequent presentations. Explains CORBA from both a software designer's and a programmer's perspective. Includes a C++ business objects case study to demonstrate the use of the techniques developed in the book. Takes a unique approach building CORBA into an OOP framework from inception, and not as an afterthought. No other book we know of has done this. Uses high-level methodologies, including UML (Universal Modeling Language), Design Patterns, and OOP. Uses a programming language and implementation strategy (C++ and application frameworks) that professional programmers are familiar with. Presents ideas at a very advanced level that are still concrete enough to be useful in corporate IS development. Not a "blue sky" book.
Combining a monad and a comonad
Authors: John Power, Hiroshi Watanabe
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We give a systematic treatment of distributivity for a monad and a comonad as arises in giving category theoretic accounts of operational and denotational semantics, and in giving an intensional denotational semantics. We do this axiomatically, in terms of a monad and a comonad in a 2-category, giving accounts of the Eilenberg-Moore and Kleisli constructions. We analyse the eight possible relationships, deducing that two pairs are isomorphic, but that the other pairs are all distinct. We develop those 2-categorical definitions necessary to support this analysis.

Exploiting speculative value reuse using value prediction
Authors: Chia-Hung Liao, Jong-Jiann Shieh
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

Data dependencies between instructions greatly impede instruction-level parallelism. Recently two hardware techniques --- Value Prediction and Value Reuse --- have been proposed to overcome the limits imposed by data dependencies. We introduce a new hardware scheme for exploiting speculative value reuse by using value prediction. We propose a new microarchitecture which uses value prediction to provide speculative value reuse. We use Value Prediction to predict operands of all integer ALU instructions and all load/store instructions. Value Reuse --- including speculative and non-speculative reuse --- is used for repeating instructions. Repeating instructions, which are found by a value reuse test, are those instructions which are executed repeatedly with the same input values and produce the same results. We use execution-driven simulation to evaluate the performance of our scheme. On average, we found &sim;9% speedup over a baseline architecture and &sim;84% correctly predicted speculative value reuse in speculative reuse lookup operations (&sim;5.7% of executed instructions).

An intelligent multi-layered input scheme for phonetic scripts
Authors: Shrinath Shanbhag, Durgesh Rao, R. K. Joshi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

We introduce a new scheme for stylus-based input of phonetic scripts such as Indic, using a compact smart soft-keyboard. Phonetically related characters are grouped into layers and become dynamically available when the "group-leader" character is accessed. This scheme allows rapid input using taps and flicks. We have developed a prototype for Devanagari which covers the complete script using just 21 virtual keys, and preliminary tests indicate that it is very easy to use with little or no training.This scheme seems to be optimal for compact keyboarding of phonetic scripts, such as Indic, on hand-held and mobile devices. It can be extended to other phonetic scripts such as IPA. It can also be used equally well as an alternate, simpler soft keyboard for conventional desktop systems.
On the asymptotic behaviour of closed multiclass queueing networks
Authors: Peter G. Harrison
Venue: Performance Evaluation (2002)

An expression for the generating function of the normalising constant is obtained for a closed, multiclass Markovian queueing network in terms of similar functions for networks with one fewer class. In this way a recursive algorithm can be implemented to calculate normalising constants, and hence, many performance measures, in terms of the normalising constant function for single class networks, which is well understood. The technique is illustrated for a simple two-class network and explains simply some interesting asymptotic properties.
Equireplicate Balanced Binary Codes for Oligo Arrays
Authors: Noga Alon, Charles J. Colbourn, Alan C. H. Ling, Martin Tompa
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

In the manufacture of oligo arrays for DNA hybridization experiments, manufacturing defects must be detected and their position determined. The design of manufacturing protocols for such oligo arrays leads to a combinatorial problem, requiring certain binary codes which have an additional balance property. Constructions using block designs and packings for these codes, within a range of interest in a practical manufacturing application, are developed. The focus is on equireplicate codes, constant weight codes in which every bit position is a one equally often.
Designing for dynamic diversity: making accessible interfaces for older people
Authors: Peter Gregor, Alan F Newell
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 EC/NSF workshop on Universal accessibility of ubiquitous computing: providing for the elderly (2001)

In this paper, we describe why designers need to look beyond the twin aims of designing for the 'typical' user and designing "prostheses." Making accessible interfaces for older people is a unique but many faceted challenge. Effective applications and interface design needs to address the dynamic diversity of the human species. We introduce a new design paradigm, Design for Dynamic Diversity, and a methodology to assist its achievement, User Sensitive Inclusive Design.
On an Adaptive Multigrid Solver for Convection-Dominated Problems
Authors: Wolfgang Dahmen, Siegfried Müller, Thomas Schlinkmann
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

The objective of this paper is to develop and describe an adaptive multigrid scheme for the numerical solution of convection-diffusion-reaction equations with dominating convection or reaction term. Specifically, we propose a systematic construction of problem and scale-dependent restriction, prolongation and smoothing operators in combination with an adaptive mesh refinement strategy. In particular, adaptivity is not only to reduce computational complexity but also to stabilize standard Galerkin discretizations so that adding artificial viscosity can be avoided. The approach is suited for any choice of underlying multiresolution sequences, in particular for standard finite element discretizations on nested but possibly nonuniform meshes. Moreover, all concepts are in principle independent of the spatial dimension and avoid any special flow-dependent enumeration of unknowns. The performance of the scheme is illustrated by various examples in one and two spatial dimensions. They are chosen so as to exhibit possibly many types of adverse or singular behavior in connection with constant and varying convection or the interplay between convective and reactive terms. In the light of these tests those issues are identified that require further research.

Inverting relational expressions: a uniform and natural technique for various database problems
Authors: Tomasz Imielinski, Witold Lipski,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

Let f be a relational expression and let q be a relation. It appears, surprisingly enough, that the concept of the table introduced in order to represent incomplete information can be used as a tool for representing {r f(r) &supe; q} for a class of relational expressions built up from projection, join and positive selection. This fact, together with some other known properties of tables has wide applications and leads to a new technique for expressing and solving many database problems, especially those concerned with views. This technique is, we believe, more natural and systematic than those previously used such as tableau techniques. Some applications, like view dependencies, translating states between views and the view equivalence problem are presented.
