Head orientation and gaze direction in meetings
Authors: Rainer Stiefelhagen, Jie Zhu
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Detecting who is looking at whom during multiparty interaction is useful for various tasks such as meeting analysis. There are two contributing factors in the formation of where a person is looking at : head orientation and eye orientation. In this poster, we present an experiment aimed at evaluating the potential of head orientation estimation in detecting who is looking at whom, because head orientation can be estimated accurately and robustly with non-intrusive methods while eye orientation can not. Experimental results show that head orientation contributes 68.9% on average to the overall gaze direction, and focus of attention estimation based on head orientation alone can get an average accuracy of 88.7% in a meeting application scenario with four participants. We conclude that head orientation is a good indicator of focus of attention in human computer interaction applications.

Making Computers People-Literate, 1st edition
Authors: Elaine Weiss
Venue:  (1994)

:More than 80 percent of American office workers now use a computer in their work. But when a system is poorly designed, organizations can waste enormous amounts of time and money trying to make it work effectively. Elaine Weiss offers practical guidelines and techniques for uncovering, diagnosing, and correcting problems in the user interface - the menus, icons, data-entry screens, on-line help, and messages through which the computer communicates with the user and the user with the computer. Weiss provides twenty-six generously illustrated checklists to guide human performance technologists, instructional designers, trainers, and human resource professionals through each step of the process - from initial surveys and interviews to making redesign recommendations and measuring results. By focusing on four key areas of human-computer interaction - presentation, conversation, navigation, and explanation - Weiss demonstrates how computers can be made to serve the user - not the other way around.

The very portable optimizer for digital signal processors
Authors: Sungjoon Jung, Yunheung Paek
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 international conference on Compilers, architecture, and synthesis for embedded systems (2001)

Although retargetability has been a major design concern for many compilers, retargetability is a vitally important issue for Digital Signal Processors(DSPs) because the architectural variations of DSPs are much wider than those of General-Purpose Processors (GPPs). This paper describes our preliminary study on a retargetable code generator, called the Very Portable Optimizer (VPO), that has been recently engineered to target DSPs. The compiler was originally implemented to target GPPs, but thanks to its novel intermediate representation designed to support retargetability, it has been successfully retargeted to a commercial DSP within a relatively short period of time. This retargetable compiler study is at its early stage, so the code quality is still amenable to further improvement. However, our recent enhancements to VPO helped us to achieve quite encouraging results when being compared with a production-quality, highly-customized, compiler.
Immersive graph navigation using direct manipulation and gestures
Authors: Noritaka Osawa, Kikuo Asai, Yuji Y. Sugimoto
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2000)

An immersive graph visualization and navigation system is proposed. Its visualization is based on a multiple-focus layout technique using heat models. Virtual temperatures influence the graph layout. The navigation uses a combination of the layout technique and hand gestures. The system allows one to have multiple-focus nodes and to move a focus by direct manipulation and hand gestures dynamically. Direct manipulation by hand can arrange nodes and choose focus nodes. Hand gestures can control a focus area using a spotlight-like heat radiation, A forefinger points the direction of the spotlight and an angle between the forefinger and the thumb controls a spread angle of the spotlight. This technique enables one to navigate a graph in an immersive virtual space.

Understanding the Crucial Role of AttributeInteraction in Data Mining
Authors: Alex A. Freitas
Venue: Artificial Intelligence Review (2001)

This is a review paper, whose goal is to significantly improve our understanding of the crucial role of attribute interaction in data mining. The main contributions of this paper are as follows. Firstly, we show that the concept of attribute interaction has a crucial role across different kinds of problem in data mining, such as attribute construction, coping with small disjuncts, induction of first-order logic rules, detection of Simpson's paradox, and finding several types of interesting rules. Hence, a better understanding of attribute interaction can lead to a better understanding of the relationship between these kinds of problems, which are usually studied separately from each other. Secondly, we draw attention to the fact that most rule induction algorithms are based on a greedy search which does not cope well with the problem of attribute interaction, and point out some alternative kinds of rule discovery methods which tend to cope better with this problem. Thirdly, we discussed several algorithms and methods for discovering interesting knowledge that, implicitly or explicitly, are based on the concept of attribute interaction.
Practical Software Reuse, 1st edition
Authors: Donald J. Reifer
Venue:  (1997)

:The comprehensive guide to software re-engineering and reuse.[Despite the fact that most software uses the same blocks of code over and over again, almost all software is built from the ground up. Just starting to catch on is the idea that these blocks of code can be used as standard components in creating new applications. However, this "assembly line" mentality is foreign to most software developers. Practical Software Reuse shows developers how to take advantage of existing codes to build commercial software faster and cheaper, covering reuse operations, competitive benchmarking, transitioning to the reuse process, utilizing "off-the-shelf" software, and more.
A constructive definition of third normal form
Authors: G C H Sharman
Venue: Proceedings of the 1976 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1976)

The concept of normalisation and the definition of third normal form occupy a central place in the relational model of database. Normalisation has been described as an analytic process in which an initially unconstrained collection of relations is successively decomposed into a collection of smaller relations satisfying the constraints of the three normal forms. Normalised relations constitute the basis on which data manipulation languages - relational algebra, relational calculus and others - have been defined. As yet, however, there is no generally recognised data definition language for the relational model. A pre-requisite for this would be a constructive definition of third normal form, that is, a definition in terms of rules for building normalised relations from simple domains. This paper considers how such a definition may be achieved by applying two ideas derived from the study of programming languages; the notion of data type, and the notion of a selector as used in formal language definition. The result is an abstract syntax of relations. This is compared with the standard definition of normalisation and its completeness is critically examined.

Getting "dissed": technical communicators in interdisciplinary engineering teams
Authors: Julie Dyke, Patricia Wojahn
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

In this article, we discuss what we identified as the perils and promises of matching our technical communication students with teams of engineers in a capstone, client-based engineering course. Specifically, we identify the key issues that surfaced, focusing the discussion around three themes we saw as contributing to multidisciplinary success: participation level, role definition, and connections between interim processes/products and final deliverables. We conclude by sharing a series of initial recommendations and modifications established as we continue to improve this multidisciplinary endeavor and reconfigure models for working in multidisciplinary teams.
Requester-aware power reduction
Authors: Yung-Hsiang Lu, Luca Benini, Giovanni De Micheli
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

Typically, power reduction is conducted by hardware techniques, such as varying clock frequencies and/or supply voltages. However, hardware devices consume power to serve the requests from software programs. Consequently, it is essential to consider software for power reduction. This paper proposes "requester-aware" power reduction through the collaboration with programs. Experimental results show that this approach can save nearly 70% power with negligible performance degradation.

Interposed request routing for scalable network storage
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS) (2002)

This paper explores interposed request routing in Slice, a new storage system architecture for high-speed networks incorporating network-attached block storage. Slice interposes a request switching filter---called a &mu;proxy---along each client's network path to the storage service (e.g., in a network adapter or switch). The &mu;proxy intercepts request traffic and distributes it across a server ensemble. We propose request routing schemes for I/O and file service traffic, and explore their effect on service structure. The Slice prototype uses a packet filter &mu;proxy to virtualize the standard Network File System (NFS) protocol, presenting to NFS clients a unified shared file volume with scalable bandwidth and capacity. Experimental results from the industry-standard SPECsfs97 workload demonstrate that the architecture enables construction of powerful network-attached storage services by aggregating cost-effective components on a switched Gigabit Ethernet LAN.
