Mining sequential patterns with constraints in large databases
Authors: Jian Pei, Jiawei Han, Wei Wang
Venue: Proceedings of the eleventh international conference on Information and knowledge management (2002)

Constraints are essential for many sequential pattern mining applications. However, there is no systematic study on constraint-based sequential pattern mining. In this paper, we investigate this issue and point out that the framework developed for constrained frequent-pattern mining does not fit our missions well. An extended framework is developed based on a sequential pattern growth methodology. Our study shows that constraints can be effectively and efficiently pushed deep into sequential pattern mining under this new framework. Moreover, this framework can be extended to constraint-based structured pattern mining as well.
Architectural concerns in distributed and mobile collaborative systems
Authors: Schahram Dustdar, Harald Gall
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

There have been considerable attempts to integrate Workflow Management Systems (WfMS), Groupware Systems, and Business Process Modeling Systems to provide a uniform platform for distributed and mobile collaboration (DMC) of geographically dispersed project teams. Such distributed and mobile teamwork defines new challenges for current IT platforms in terms of architecture and business-specific configurations. This paper discusses architectural concerns for such DMC systems and provides a framework for process aware distributed and mobile teamwork. This is achieved by integrating process- and workspace management requirements with Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Middleware, Publish-Subscribe, and Community and User Management. The paper discusses a three-layer architecture that integrates process awareness with the easy to use groupware (workspace) metaphor.

Hardware-software cosynthesis for digital systems
Authors: Rajesh K. Gupta, Giovanni De Micheli
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

As system design grows increasingly complex, the use of predesigned components, such as general-purpose microprocessors, can simplify synthesized hardware. While the problems in designing systems that contain processors and application-specific integrated circuit chips are not new, computer-aided synthesis of such heterogeneous or mixed systems poses unique challenges. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of synthesizing heterogeneous systems by using timing constraints to delegate tasks between hardware and software so that performance requirements can be met.

Outflow Boundary Conditions for the Fourier Transformed One-Dimensional Vlasov&ndash;Poisson System
Authors: Bengt Eliasson
Venue: Journal of Scientific Computing (2001)

In order to facilitate numerical simulations of plasma phenomena where kinetic processes are important, we have studied the technique of Fourier transforming the Vlasov equation analytically in the velocity space, and solving the resulting equation numerically. Special attention has been paid to the boundary conditions of the Fourier transformed system. By using outgoing wave boundary conditions in the Fourier transformed space, small-scale information in velocity space is carried outside the computational domain and is lost. Thereby the so-called recurrence phenomenon is reduced. This method is an alternative to using numerical dissipation or smoothing operators in velocity space. Different high-order methods are used for computing derivatives as well as for the time-stepping, leading to an over-all fourth-order method.

On the introduction of quality of service awareness in legacy distributed applications
Authors: R. Canonico, M. D'Arienzo, B. Fadini, S. P. Romano, G. Ventre
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

A number of distributed applications require communication services with Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. Work undertaken within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has led to the definition of novel architectural models for the Internet with QoS support. According to these models, the network has to be appropriately configured in order to provide applications with the needed performance guarantees. In a first proposal, called Integrated Services, applications need to explicitly interact with network routers by means of a signaling protocol (such as RSVP), in order to enforce QoS on a per-flow basis. The Differentiated Services architecture, on the other hand, looks after scalability, thus providing performance guarantees to aggregates of flows. In the case of real-time applications, a hybrid model capable of putting together micro-flow guarantees in the access network and aggregate management in the backbone seems to represent the ideal tradeoff between strict performance and scalability. In this scenario, giving applications a means to interact with the underlying QoS services is of primary importance. Hence, several special-purpose APIs have been defined to let applications negotiate QoS parameters across QoS-capable networks. However, so far, none of these APIs is available for the use of programmers in different operating environments. We believe that such features should be embedded in programming environments for distributed applications. In this work we present how we included QoS control features in a programming language that since years has been adopted for the development of network-based applications: Tcl. We present QTcl, an extension of Tcl, which provides program- mers with a new set of primitives fully compliant with the standard SCRAPI programming interface for the RSVP protocol. We gave QTcl a high portability, in that it enables standard QoS negotiation to be performed in a seamless fashion on the most common operating systems.

Pancycles and hamiltonian-connectedness of the hierarchical cubic network
Authors: Jung-Sheng Fu, Gen-Huey Chen
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh Asia-Pacific conference on Computer systems architecture (2002)

We show that the hierarchical cubic network, an alternative to the hypercube, is hamiltonian-connected using Gray codes. A network is hamiltonian-connected if it contains a hamiltonian path between every two distinct nodes. In other words, a hamiltonian-connected network can embed a longest linear array between every two distinct nodes with dilation, congestion, load, and expansion equal to one. We also show that the hierarchical cubic network contains cycles of all possible lengths but three and five. Since the hypercube contains cycles only of even lengths, it is concluded that the hierarchical cubic network is superior to the hypercube in hamiltonicity. Our results can be applied to the hierarchical folded-hypercube network as well.
Inside 3d Studio Viz 3
Authors: Jeremy Hubbell, Ted Broadman
Venue:  (2000)

:Workflow-focused, project-based, best-practices approach. Hands-on tutorials interspersed with referential material in each chapter. It's obvious from speaking both to customers and spending time on-line that users crave specific types of information related to their disciplines. More specifically, the information relates to how VIZ fits into their workflow. Given that VIZ is a different tool from most design tools, it requires them to change their workflow to match the product. The primary focus of this book would be to show users how to minimize the amount of “shifting” they have to do to use VIZ as well as how to get the most out of VIZ by understanding its features. To summarize, the book will accomplish two main goals for presenting VIZ:  Understanding VIZ's workflow.  Understanding VIZ's features. The CD-ROM includes all the files that are needed to complete the exercises in each chapter.
The theory of information reversal
Authors: Panagiotes S. Anastasiades
Venue: ACM SIGCAS Computers and Society (2002)

The end of the industrial age coincides with the advent of the Information Society as the next model of social and economic organization, which brings about significant changes in the way modern man conceives work and social environment. The functional basis of the new model is pivoted upon the effort to formulate the theory on the violent reversal of the basic relationship between man and information, and isolate it as one of the components for the creation of the new electronic reality. The objective of the theory of reversal is to effectively contribute to the formulation of a new definition consideration in regards to the concept of the emerging information society. In order to empirically apply the theory of reversal, we will examine a case study based on the example of the digital library.

Towards More Complete Models of TCP Latency and Throughput
Authors: Michael Mitzenmacher, Rajmohan Rajaraman
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2001)

Recently, several researchers have developed equations for modeling TCP behaviors, such as the expected throughput or latency, based on Markov chains derived from TCP with additional simplifying assumptions. In this paper, we suggest new directions for Markov chain analyses of TCP. Our first contribution is to closely examine not just the expectation but the entire cumulative distribution function of transfer times under various models. Particularly for short or medium transfers, the distribution is likely to be more useful than the expectation in terms of measuring end-user satisfaction. We find that the shapes of TCP cumulative distribution functions are remarkably robust to small changes in the model. Our results suggest that simplifying Markov analyses can be extended to yield approximations for the entire distribution as well as for the expectation.Our second contribution is to consider correction procedures to enhance these models. A correction procedure is a rule of thumb that allows equations from one model to be used in other situations. As an example, several analyses use a Drop-Tail loss model. We determine correction procedures for the deviation between this model and other natural loss models based on simulations. The existence of a simple correction procedure in this instance suggests that the high-level behavior of TCP is robust against changes in the loss model.
