Java: A Framework for Programming and Problem Solving, 2nd edition
Authors: Kenneth Alfred Lambert, Martin Osborne
Venue:  (2001)

:Lambert and Osborne's content appeals to professors who want to cover traditional CS1 material using the powerful capabilities Java provides. Chapter One starts out strong by introducing students to the topic of problem-solving. Object-oriented design and Java features are introduced as needed.Professors who teach CS1 in Java face a dilemma: either restrict the course to character-based terminal I/O with a C++ look, or introduce graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and overwhelm students with the details of Java's Abstract Windowing Toolkit(AWT). To overcome this dilemma, the text comes with a software package, BreezySwing, which simplifies the programming of GUIs. BreezySwing insulates students from the complex details of laying out window components and responding to interface events. Lambert and Osborne's book and software package enable students to enjoy the excitement of writing GUI-based programs without being overwhelmed by or distracted from the more basic issues of algorithm design and the factoring of programs into classes. The University Edition of Borland's JBuilder 4 is packaged with the text.

DNA sequence evolution with neighbor-dependent mutation
Authors: Peter F. Arndt, Christopher B. Burge, Terence Hwa
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

We introduce a model of DNA sequence evolution which can account for biases in mutation rates that depend on the identity of the neighboring bases. An analytic solution for this class of models is developed by adopting well-known methods of nonlinear dynamics. Results are presented for the CpG-methylation-deamination process which dominates point substitutions in vertebrates. The dinucleotide frequencies generated by the model (using empirically obtained mutation rates) match the overall pattern observed in non-coding DNA. A web-based tool has been constructed to compute single- and dinucleotide frequencies for arbitrary neighbor-dependent mutation rates. Also provided is the backward procedure to infer the mutation rates using maximum likelihood analysis given the observed single- and dinucleotide frequencies. Reasonable estimates of the mutation rates can be obtained very efficiently, using generic non-coding DNA sequences as input, after masking out long homonucleotide subsequences. Our method is much more convenient and versatile to use than the traditional method of deducing mutation rates by counting mutation events in carefully chosen sequences. More generally, our approach provides a more realistic but still tractable description of non-coding genomic DNA, and may be used as a null model for various sequence analysis applications.

Effects of Channel Interchange and Route Splitting on Ring Loading Efficiency
Authors: G. D. Morley, W. D. Grover
Venue: Journal of Network and Systems Management (2002)

We address two questions related to the design and management of ring-based networks and the choice of add&ndash;drop multiplexer &lpar;ADM&rpar; technology. One issue is the benefit of a channel interchange capability in the ADMs of SONET or WDM rings. Although counterintuitive, we show that there is essentially no benefit from this potentially expensive capability if the selection of demands for ring loading is optimally planned for each case. This knowledge can help prioritize standards-making and equipment development efforts. A second question relates to provisioning demands over more than one route through a ring. Administration and provisioning is simplified by prescribing a single route per origin&ndash;destination pair, but in a ring-based network there is an as yet unquantified penalty to enforcing this operational policy rather than allowing &ldquo;splitting&rdquo; of routes within rings. To assess the benefits of channel interchange and route splitting, together and individually, we solve the respective integer programming formulation to find the optimal revenue or transport efficiency loading solutions. Conclusions are based on comparing efficiency and revenue metrics on a large number of randomized trials with different ring sizes, demand patterns, and line capacities. Results show that while channel interchange has negligible beneficial effect, route splitting can provide significant revenue or efficiency benefits.
A Nonoverlapping Domain Decomposition Method for Symm's Equation for Conformal Mapping
Authors: Tobin A. Driscoll
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

Symm's equation is a first-kind integral equation for computing conformal maps of simply connected regions. The package CONFPACK solves Symm's equation by an indirect boundary element method using an accurate corner representation. This solution technique is extended here to include nonoverlapping domain decomposition. Degrees of freedom are introduced on one or more interfaces and different unknowns are used, leading to a system of second-kind equations. The corresponding linear system can be expressed in Schur complement form. The accurate treatment of corners is preserved in the new formulation. The results of serial and parallel MATLAB implementations of the new algorithm show significant speedups as the number of unknowns grows.

Building a database driven/ADA compliant website
Authors: Joe Ziskovsky, Melissa Diers
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

The Learning Environment and Internet Service (LEIS) a unit of Information Technology Services has redesigned the departmental website to be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. This website is intended to be a model for web development projects at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). The initiative was in response to a growing government and grant requirements for ADA compliance.In the past creating an ADA compliant website often involved developing and managing two separate websites. To eliminate the need to build and manage separate websites, LEIS chose to develop a database driven website. The database model allowed the user to select a graphically enhanced or ADA compliant view of the website.The end result has been a site with improved user accessibility. The graphically enhanced site is now easier to navigate and loads quicker. The ADA compliant view provides an easy to read site for screen reader software and text based browsers.
Scheduling Unrelated Machines by Randomized Rounding
Authors: Andreas S. Schulz, Martin Skutella
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea is to assign jobs randomly to machines with probabilities derived from an optimal solution to a linear programming (LP) relaxation in time-indexed variables. Our main results are a $(2+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for the model with individual job release dates and a $(3/2+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm if all jobs are released simultaneously. We obtain corresponding bounds on the quality of the LP relaxation. It is an interesting implication for identical parallel machine scheduling that jobs are randomly assigned to machines, in which each machine is equally likely. In addition, in this case the algorithm has running time O(n log n) and performance guarantee 2. Moreover, the approximation result for identical parallel machine scheduling applies to the on-line setting in which jobs arrive over time as well, with no difference in performance guarantee.

On Finding Feasible Solutions for the Delay Constrained Group Multicast Routing Problem
Authors: Chor Ping Low, Xueyan Song
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

Group multicasting is a generalization of multicasting whereby every member of a group is allowed to multicast messages to other members that belong to the same group. In this paper, we study the problem of finding feasible solutions for the delay constrained group multicast routing problem (DCGMRP). The routing problem in this case involves the construction of a set of delay bounded multicast trees with bandwidth requirements, one for each member of the group, for multicasting messages to other members of the group. We first show that the problem is NP-complete. Next, we propose a heuristic algorithm to find feasible solutions for this problem. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm is able to achieve a high probability of finding feasible solutions for DCGMRP, whenever one exists.

A graph-theoretic real-time visible surface editing technique
Authors: Steven L. Tanimoto
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1977)

Efficient visible surface (hidden surface) algorithms must make use of information about the structure of the environment, constraints on viewpoint locations and the coherence between successive views in a sequence. Here the visible surface problem is posed as a problem in graph theory. A new technique based on 'updating cut-sets in a graph is presented as a means to streamline the culling of back faces during visible surface computations. The technique can be used for general environments that contain some convex polyhedra. Since the method saves the most computation when convex polyhedra having many faces appear in the environment, it is particularly appropriate for handling geodesic domes and polyhedral approximations to spheres. A direct extension for nonconvex polyhedra is suggested.
