Information quality benchmarks: product and service performance
Authors: Beverly K. Kahn, Diane M. Strong, Richard Y. Wang
Venue: Communications of the ACM (2002)

Information quality (IQ) is an inexact science in terms of assessment and benchmarks. Although various aspects of quality and information have been investigated [1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12], there is still a critical need for a methodology that assesses how well organizations develop information products and deliver information services to consumers. Benchmarks developed from such a methodology can help compare information quality across organizations, and provide a baseline for assessing IQ improvements.
A Java based XML browser for consumer devices
Authors: Petri Vuorimaa, Teemu Ropponen, Niklas von Knorring, Mikko Honkala
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Next generation consumer devices will all have an Internet connection. Thus, one vision is that the future multimedia services will be browser based. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the most likely markup language. In this paper, we introduce a Java based XML browser called X-Smiles. It is intended for consumer devices and supports multimedia services. The main advantage of the X-Smiles browser is that it supports most of the XML related specifications. Different XML based languages can be mixed freely in applications. In addition, the X-Smiles has special user interfaces for different kinds of devices (e.g., digital television, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones). These user interfaces can be used as so called virtual prototypes of the real devices. The X-Smiles browser is available as open source at http://www.x-smiles.org.

Expanders from symmetric codes
Authors: Roy Meshulam, Avi Wigderson
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) A set S in the vector space FFpn is "good" if it satisfies the following (almost) equivalent conditions:S is an expanding generating set of Abelian group FFpn.S are the rows of a generating matrix for a linear distance error-correcting code in FFpn.All (nontrivial) Fourier coefficients of S are bounded by some &egr; &xi; 1 (i.e. the set S is &egr;-biased). .A good set S must have at least cn vectors (with c&rho;1). We study conditions under which S is the orbit of only constant number of vectors, under the action of a finite group G on the coordinates. Such succinctly described sets yield very symmetric codes, and "amplifies" small constant-degree Cayley expanders to exponentially larger ones [19, 2].For the regular action (the coordinates are named by the elements of the group G), we develop representation theoretic conditions on the group G which guarantee the existence (in fact, abundance) of such few expanding orbits. The condition is a (nearly tight) upper bound on the distribution of dimensions of the irreducible representations of G, and is the main technical contribution of this paper. We further show a class of groups for which this condition is implied by the expansion properties of the group G itself! Combining these, we can iterate the amplification process above, and give (near-constant degree) Cayley expanders which are built from Abelian components.For other natural actions, such as of the affine group on a finite field, we give the first explicit construction of such few expanding orbits. In particular, we can completely derandomize the probabilistic construction of expanding generators in [2].

A suggestive interface for 3D drawing
Authors: Takeo Igarashi, John F. Hughes
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

This paper introduces a new type of interface for 3D drawings that improves the usability of gestural interfaces and augments typical command-based modeling systems. In our suggestive interface, the user gives hints about a desired operation to the system by highlighting related geometric components in the scene. The system then infers possible operations based on the hints and presents the results of these operations as small thumbnails. The user completes the editing operation simply by clicking on the desired thumbnail. The hinting mechanism lets the user specify geometric relations among graphical components in the scene, and the multiple thumbnail suggestions make it possible to define many operations with relatively few distinct hint patterns. The suggestive interface system is implemented as a set of suggestion engines working in parallel, and is easily extended by adding customized engines. Our prototype 3D drawing system, Chateau, shows that a suggestive interface can effectively support construction of various 3D drawings.
Simulation in production scheduling: scheduling flow-shops with limited buffer spaces
Authors: Michael X. Weng
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The work described in this paper attempts to validate the implicit assumption in traditional flow shop scheduling research that there is a buffer of infinite capacity between any two adjacent machines. The modified NEH (Nawaz, Encore and Ham) algorithm is used to generate an initial permutation schedule which is then improved by tabu search. For any given sequence, a limited equal buffer size is considered in computing job completion times. The scheduling objective is to minimize mean job flowtime. Computational results and analysis are presented. Through these simulation experiments, it was found that the improvement by tabu search can be significant and there is no need for more than 4 buffer spaces between any two adjacent machines. Future research directions are also discussed.

Adaptive parallel computation of a grand-challenge problem: prediction of the path of a solar-corona mass ejection
Authors: Quentin F. Stout, Darren L. De Zeeuw, Tamas I. Gombosi, Clinton P. T. Groth, Hal G. Marshall, Kenneth G. Powell
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

One of the ways that the Sun interacts with the Earth is through the solar wind, which is an ionized multi-component fluid that emanates from the Sun and travels radially outward at hundreds of kilometers per second. Solar-wind transients, such as Coronal Mass Ejections (CME's), can be particularly important. In rare cases, CME's have affected the lower atmosphere of the Earth, causing regional power-grid failures. More regularly, CME's pose threats to satellites and spacecraft. Due to the extreme range of temporal and spatial scales involved in solar-wind phenomena, it had previously been impossible to predict CME propagation to Earth with faster-than-real-time, well-resolved calculations. Our team has now developed a highly scalable solution-adaptive scheme for predicting CME propagation. The solution-adaptive technique is an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) scheme for magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) calculations. The physical domain is decomposed into three-dimensional blocks, where each block forms a regular grid. In regions of relatively high gradients, blocks are successively refined. Blocks are distributed to processors, with communication between neighboring blocks is handled by asynchronous message passing. The benchmark calculation achieved 212 Gflops on a 1024-processor Cray T3E-1200, with the grid adapting over the course of the calculation from 2048 blocks to 11,729 blocks, where each block was composed of 10x10x10 cells. On a 512-processor Cray T3E-600, our benchmark simulations were performed 16 times faster than real time.

Group orientation: a paradigm for modern distributed systems
Authors: Paulo Veríssimo, Luís Rodrigues
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

Increasing use of distributed systems, with the corresponding decentralization, stimulates the need for structuring activities around groups of participants, for reasons of consistency, user-friendliness, performance and dependability. Although there is a significant number of group communication protocols in the literature, they are penetrating too slowly in operating systems technology. Two important reasons are: the literal interpretation generally made of the end-to-end argument, and the lack of a layer mapping end-user needs (management of replication, competition, cooperation and group membership) into what is generally provided by the communication layer: agreement and order properties.The paper discusses both problems, proposing ways for structuring systems and defining building blocks for group-oriented activity, using concepts like object groups. It suggests that the group concept should pervade the whole architecture, from network multicasting, to group communications and management. Emerging technology will help materialize these concepts.
