Evolutionary Model of Optimization of Modular Associative Memory for Dataflow Machines Based on Genetic Algorithm
Authors: A. V. Nikitin, L. I. Nikitina
Venue: Programming and Computing Software (2002)

An evolutionary model of modular associative memory for machines with dataflow architecture is suggested. A problem of determination of optimal allocation of a dataflow in a computational system with modular associative memory is formulated. The model suggested is based on graph representation of the dataflow. The allocation of the dataflow among modules is realized by means of a hash function. A method for searching for optimal hashing with the use of a genetic algorithm is suggested. The convergence of the genetic algorithm is studied. Estimates of optimal allocation among modules of associative memory for various computational problems are obtained.

Designing reactive systems: integration of abstraction techniques into a synthesis procedure
Authors: Richard St-Denis
Venue: Journal of Systems and Software (2002)

This paper presents a new paradigm for designing reactive systems. It combines the use of formal methods widely recognized in software engineering and synthesis procedures developed within the framework of the Supervisory Control Theory for discrete event systems. It promotes design exploration by means of a synthesis approach with the sole aim of producing reliable reactive systems. The adoption of these particular synthesis procedures is, however, not sufficient to achieve this objective, because of scalability and computational complexity issues. To circumvent these difficulties, this paper suggests two extensions with respect to conventional synthesis procedures. The first one concerns the representation of reactive programs by attributed controllers. This requires that the process to be controlled must be described not only in terms of controllable active components but also in terms of uncontrollable passive components by using timed transition graphs and algebraic specifications, respectively. The second one involves abstraction and equational reasoning to take into account the use of strongly typed objects. This requires various kinds of transformation applied to the original problem specification as well as to intermediate solutions.
Extending direct manipulation in a text editor
Authors: David Novick, Francisco Romero, Edgar Rene Saenz, Armando Sandoval
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

This paper describes the implementation of a prototype text editor that incorporates conversation-like features through the direct-manipulation modality. In this way, traditional direct-manipulation interaction techniques such as direct reference via pointing can be extended to include techniques more commonly associated with human conversation, such as negotiation of reference. The paper illustrates the use of the prototype with an extended example, and discusses research issues raised by the implementation.

Optimal sizing of industrial structural mechanics problems using AD
Authors: Gundolf Haase, Ulrich Langer, Ewald Lindner, Wolfram Mühlhuber
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

We consider minimizing the mass of the frame of an injection moulding machine as an example of optimal sizing. The deformation of the frame is described by a generalized plane stress state with an elasticity modulus scaled by the thickness. The resulting constrained nonlinear optimization problem is solved by sequential quadratic programming (SQP), which requires gradients of the objective and the constraints with respect to the design parameters. As long as the number of design parameters is small, finite differences may be. For several hundreds of varying thickness parameters, we use the reverse mode of automatic differentiation (AD). AD works fine but requires huge memory and disk capabilities and limits the use of iterative solvers for the governing state equations. Therefore, we combine AD with the adjoint method to get a fast and flexible hybrid gradient evaluation procedure. Numerical results show the potential of this approach and imply that this method can also be used for finding an initial guess for a shape optimization.

From the Book:An emergency meeting had been called about the fact that the e-commerce project was late, over budget, and experiencing performance problems. As he entered the conference room, the VP surveyed the cast of characters already there, and worried. Almost two million dollars spent already, thought the VP, and yet the board was forced to seriously contemplate pulling the plug. He'd been sent to identify what was wrong and how to fix it. "OK," he said as he took a seat at the head of the table, "I'm throwing open the agenda. I want to know what the project's major problems are, what's causing them, and how long and how much it'll take to fix them." Turning toward the CIO and his network manager, the VP went on, "We all know that this project is central to our corporate strategy, nothing else has had a higher priority or consumed more resources during the last year. Yet our two primary competitors have already successfully launched their Web sites and upgraded their businessto-business e-commerce. But we can't see the end of the tunnel on this project. Let me remind you that this isn't just another little departmental.application, the board wants the Internet to become our primary place of business. Our competition has already cut their cost of sale by 15 percent or more, and we've lost 5 percent market share in the last quarter alone. We aren't thriRed with having a half-finished network that runs like a dog, not to mention being over budget, but this weekend's security breach may have been the last straw.
Efficient estimation of signal transition activity in MAC architectures
Authors: Alberto García, Lukusa D. Kabulepa, Manfred Glesner
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Because of the increasing demand of portable digital systems, it is of great interest to extend the existing high-level power estimation techniques to handle architectures with non linear components, as they appear in relevant practical applications. In this paper we focus on the estimation of the transition activity in MAC structures implementing FIR filters. Based on a divide and conquer approach, an accurate yet efficient estimation procedure is developed. The technique has been evaluated for different synthetic and real data sets. In all cases, our results depict only very slight discrepancies with respect to precise bit level simulations.
Cluster validity methods: part I
Authors: Maria Halkidi, Yannis Batistakis, Michalis Vazirgiannis
Venue: ACM SIGMOD Record (2002)

Clustering is an unsupervised process since there are no predefined classes and no examples that would indicate grouping properties in the data set. The majority of the clustering algorithms behave differently depending on the features of the data set and the initial assumptions for defining groups. Therefore, in most applications the resulting clustering scheme requires some sort of evaluation as regards its validity. Evaluating and assessing the results of a clustering algorithm is the main subject of cluster validity. In this paper we present a review of the clustering validity and methods. More specifically, Part I of the paper discusses the cluster validity approaches based on external and internal criteria.

Toward Front Tracking Based on Conservation in Two Space Dimensions
Authors: Mao De-kang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

A two-dimensional front tracking method based on conservation for scalar conservation law and for the Euler system of gas dynamics is being developed. In the method, discontinuities are tracked by enforcing the conservation properties of the PDEs. Unlike the traditional front tracking methods, for which the conservation is only a property that may or may not be preserved, in this front tracking method the conservation is the mechanism by which the tracking is performed. The method is also extended to treat the reflection wall boundary in the Euler system. As an attempt to treat the interactions of discontinuities by enforcing the conservation properties without solving two-dimensional Riemann problems, three special cases of treatment of discontinuity interactions in scalar conservation law and in the Euler system of gas dynamics are studied. Finally, numerical experiments are implemented in both scalar and system cases to show the efficiency of the method.

A multidimensional and multiversion structure for OLAP applications
Authors: Mathurin Body, Maryvonne Miquel, Yvan Bédard, Anne Tchounikine
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP (2002)

When changes occur on data organization, conventional multidimensional structures are not adapted because dimensions are supposed to be static. In many cases, especially when time covered by the data warehouse is large, dimensions of the hypercube must be redesigned in order to integrate evolutions. We propose an approach allowing to track history but also to compare data, mapped into static structures. We define a conceptual model building a Mutiversion Fact Table from the Temporal Multidimensional Schema and we introduce the notion of temporal modes of representation corresponding to different ways to analyze data and their evolution.

Internet Advertising, Game Theory and Consumer Welfare
Venue: Electronic Commerce Research (2001)

The aim of this paper is to consider the implications of Internet advertising, for prospective consumer welfare gains/losses. The implications of imperfect information among buyers are discussed to highlight the role of intermediaries and search agents in enhancing consumer welfare in a world of complex products and uncertainty. The argument demonstrates that despite possessing welfare enhancing potential the retailing of complex products on the Internet increases the scope for price discrimination among sellers. Hence, buyers may pay different prices for the same product/services. The paper shows how &ldquo;agents&rdquo; may restrict this type of market failure if they possess the ability to search all databases. That the Internet intrinsically exhibits welfare enhancing and reducing characteristic a game model is develop to show how entry of new sellers may proceed or be checked by incumbents.

Fundamentals of Software Engineering, 2nd edition
Authors: Carlo Ghezzi, Mehdi Jazayeri, Dino Mandrioli
Venue:  (2002)

:This book provides selective, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of software engineering by stressing principles and methods through rigorous formal and informal approaches. In contrast to other books which are based on the lifecycle model of software development, the authors emphasize identifying and applying fundamental principles that are applicable throughout the software lifecycle. This emphasis enables readers to respond to the rapid changes in technology that are common today. Principles and techniques are emphasized rather than specific toolsusers learn why particular techniques should or should not be used. Understanding the principles and techniques on which tools are based makes mastering a variety of specific tools easier. The authors discuss principles such as design, specification, verification, production, management and tools. Now coverage includes: more detailed analysis and explanation of object-oriented techniques; the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML); requirements analysis and software architecture; Model checkinga technique that provides automatic support to the human activity of software verification; GQMused to evaluate software quality and help improve the software process; Z specification language. For software engineers.
