A canon for the representation of multivariate arrays in the APL2 computing language
Authors: Richard Drexel Stockbridge
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (2000)

A uniform structure for multivariate data constructs that employs the nested array features of APL2 has been successfully developed and implemented. This Array Canonical Form (ACF) succinctly describes its own contents, an important feature for the APL2 functions and operators that accept ACF arrays as arguments. An extensive library of APL2 procedures has been created over the course of many years and projects to perform routine as well as specialized analytical, archival, descriptive, and graphical operations on any ACF. A self-describing uniform array structure is useful for satisfying requirements of reusable, common code and for requiring self-documentation of multivariate data. The ACF structure described in this paper satisfies these requirements in a concise, logically intuitive elemental structure that depends upon and fully utilizes the APL2 language features for nested array construction and manipulation.
Measures of Effectiveness for the Information-Age Army
Authors: Richard E. Darilek, Brian Nichiporuk, John Gordon, Walter Perry, Jerome Bracken
Venue:  (2001)

:This report presents the results of a project sponsored by the Director of Strategy, Plans, and Policy, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, Department of the Army Staff. It reports on project research aimed at developing measures of effectiveness (MOEs) for ground forces in the Information Age. The objective of the project was to help the U.S. Army, in both its strategic planning and its operational research communities, begin to identify new MOEs that can capture the improved effectiveness expected to accrue to ground forces as they exploit Information-Age technologies. * As originally conceived by the sponsor, the purpose of the project was not to produce a full list of MOEs appropriate to the Army in the Information Age-or even the last word on the few we present-but, rather, to provide a firm foundation for their further development, as well as some prototypes. This research was carried out in the Strategy, Doctrine, and Resources Program of RAND Arroyo Center, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the United States Army.

:Netrepreneur is a strategic planning, business solution book. It offers a holistic view of Internet business relevant topics. It will be marketed as the Internet focused equivalent to The Portable MBA published by Wiley and Internet Business books published by Harvard Business School Press. Using the Internet for Business is treated like a business book with legitimate case studies and resource listings /cites but addresses Internet related questions such as why the Internet is good for business? Can your business be made more efficient through the use of the Internet? Which traditional business models transfer well to online practice? Would being on the Internet make your customer service more efficient? How do you project costs of doing business on the Internet? How do you build partnerships with remote organizations? This approach serves as a useful tool for the reader to analyze successes and failures in today's global, deadline and profit oriented business market. This model is further reinforced with reviews and quotes from industry leaders. Netrepreneur is an issue which many companies are having to address and if wrong decisions are made it can cost managers / executives and their business greatly. This book is designed to help established and start-up businesses decide the best ways to use the Internet and estimate accurately the returns on an Internet investment There are many business books and books on how to make money on the Internet. However, few titles bridge the gap between business and Internet business, focusing on the traditional business issues of marketing, sales, strategy, implementation, economics and financials, but from an Internet strategy perspective Netrepreneur is treated like a business book with legitimate case studies and resource listings / cites, but addresses Internet related

Approximating the Longest Cycle Problem in Sparse Graphs
Authors: Tomás Feder, Rajeev Motwani, Carlos Subi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We consider the problem of finding long paths and cycles in Hamiltonian graphs. The focus of our work is on sparse graphs, e.g., cubic graphs, that satisfy some property known to hold for Hamiltonian graphs, e.g., k-cyclability.We first consider the problem of finding long cycles in 3-connected cubic graphs whose edges have weights $w_i\geq 0$. We find cycles of weight at least ${(\sum w_i^a)}^{\frac{1}{a}}$ for $a=\log_2 3$. Based on this result, we develop an algorithm for finding a cycle of length at least $m^{(\log_3 2)/2}\approx m^{0.315}$ in 3-cyclable graphs with vertices of degree at most 3 and with m edges. As a corollary of this result, for arbitrary graphs with vertices of degree at most 3 that have a cycle of length l (or, more generally, a 3-cyclable minor with degrees at most 3 and with l edges), we find a cycle of length at least $l^{(\log_3 2)/2}$.We consider the graph property of 1-toughness that is common to Hamiltonian graphs and 3-connected cubic graphs, and we try to determine if 1-toughness implies the existence of long cycles. We show that 2-connectivity and 1-toughness, for constant degree graphs, may give cycles that are only of logarithmic length. However, we exhibit a class of 3-connected 1-tough graphs with degrees up to 6, where we can find cycles of length at least ${m}^{\log_3 2}/2$.
A conversational extensible system for the animation of shaded images
Authors: Ronald M. Baecker
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

The terms "conversational" and "extensible" are defined and shown to be useful properties of computer animation systems. A conversational extensible system for the animation of shaded images is then described. With this system, implemented on a minicomputer, the animator can sketch images and movements freehand, or can define them algorithmically via the Smalltalk language. The system is itself implemented in Smalltalk, and hence can be easily extended or mcdified to suit the animator's personal style.
On varying perspectives of problem decomposition
Authors: David Ginat
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2002)

The most common decomposition perspective in computer science problem-solving is 'top-down', in which the problem at hand is divided into 'smaller' sub-problems. Yet there are more decomposition perspectives. In this paper we illuminate three additional perspectives and demonstrate their didactic value. The presentation is displayed in an apprenticeship manner, through different approaches for solving an intriguing algorithmic challenge - the problem of finding majority. Each of the three perspectives is tied to a variety of algorithmic problems and solutions, and elaborated as a pedagogical tool for teaching algorithms.
The development of a dynamic interactive computer graphics research and educational support environment
Authors: Frederick R. Stocker, Gerald G. Johnson,  Jr., Herbert A. McKinstry
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1975)

The Pennsylvania State University Computation Center is currently performing research and development in providing an effective research and training support environment which enables a user, whether researcher or student, to become familiar with an available base of graphics hardware and software support and to proceed to original programming with confidence and effectiveness.The main consideration is to provide an interactive programming environment in which users can become self-sufficient in coping with both hardware operation and potential as well as effective utilization of software in a reasonably short period of time. Such users should not have to be computer graphics specialists to apply a graphics system to their fields of expertise. Users should be thoroughly trained to understand and handle an available hardware/software system in order to be better able to evaluate the potential system usage directly and effectively.This paper, together with a film, describes an approach developed at the Computation Center and tested and implemented in three offerings of a Computer Science advanced undergraduate course.
Multithreading decoupled architectures for complexity-effective general purpose computing
Authors: Michael Sung, Ronny Krashinsky, Krste Asanović
Venue: ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News (2001)

Decoupled architectures have not traditionally been used in the context of general purpose computing because of their inability to tolerate control-intensive code that exists across a wide range of applications. This work investigates the possibility of using multithreading to overcome the loss of decoupling dependencies that represent the cause of this main limitation in decoupled architectures. A proposal for a multithreaded decoupled control/access/execute architecture is presented as a platform for achieving high performance on general purpose workloads. It is argued that such a decoupled architecture is more complexity-effective and scalable than comparable superscalar processors, which incorporate enormous amounts of complexity for modest performance gains.

CoWare---a design environment for heterogeneous hardware/software systems
Authors: D. Verkest, K. Van Rompaey, I. Bolsens, H. De Man
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

This paper addresses CoWare: an environment for design of heterogeneous systems on chip. These systems are heterogeneous both in terms of specification and implementation. CoWare is based on a communicating processes data-model which supports encapsulation and refinement and makes a strict separation between functional and communication behavior. Encapsulation enables the reuse of existing specification and design environments (languages, simulators, compilers). Refinement provides for a consistent and integrated path from specification to implementation. The design steps that will be addressed include: system specification, simulation at various abstraction levels, data path synthesis, communication refinement and hardware/software co-design. A spread-spectrum based pager system serves to illuminate the design process in the CoWare environment.

Using knowledge engineering support for a Java documentation viewer
Authors: Henrik Eriksson, Erik Berglund, Peter Nevalainen
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The reuse of library components is a cornerstone of today's software development. Therefore, developers need good library documentation to take advantage of complex application programmer interfaces (APIs). It is possible to use ontologies as the basis for modeling libraries and library documentation. The knowledge-engineering tool Prot&eacute;g&eacute; can manage such library ontologies as well as knowledge bases containing the documentation. JDView is an extension to Prot&eacute;g&eacute; that allows developers to navigate and read the documentation contained in the knowledge base. The JDView approach illustrates how knowledge-engineering tools can enhance the representation and viewing of library documentation.

Multidimensional Least Squares Fluctuation Distribution Schemes with Adaptive Mesh Movement for Steady Hyperbolic Equations
Authors: M. J. Baines, S. J. Leary, M. E. Hubbard
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Optimal meshes and solutions for steady conservation laws and systems within a finite volume fluctuation distribution framework are obtained by least squares methods incorporating mesh movement. The problem of spurious modes is alleviated through adaptive mesh movement, the least squares minimization giving an obvious way of determining the movement of the nodes and also providing a link with equidistribution. The iterations are carried out locally node by node, which yields good control of the moving mesh. For scalar equations an iteration which respects the flow of information in the problem significantly accelerates the convergence. The method is demonstrated on a scalar advection problem and a shallow water channel flow problem. For discontinuous solutions we introduce a least squares shock fitting approach which greatly improves the treatment of discontinuities at little extra expense by using degenerate triangles and moving the nodes. Examples are shown for a discontinuous shallow water channel flow and a shocked flow in gasdynamics governed by the compressible Euler equations.
