Hidden Discontinuities and Parametric Sensitivity Calculations
Authors: John E. Tolsma, Paul I. Barton
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Parametric sensitivity analysis is becoming a very important tool when studying differential equations. However, potential pitfalls exist if this analysis is applied naively. In particular, if the model contains discontinuities, then the application of standard numerical codes will typically result in incorrect sensitivity trajectories. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the problems associated with "hidden discontinuities" during sensitivity analysis (i.e., discontinuities not handled explicitly) and to present a code analysis and transformation approach through which differential equations containing discontinuities can be solved efficiently and correctly with minimal effort required by the modeler.
On Smoothing Methods for the P0 Matrix Linear Complementarity Problem
Authors: Xiaojun Chen, Yinyu Ye
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

In this paper, we propose a Big-$\Gamma$ smoothing method for solving the P0 matrix linear complementarity problem. We study the trajectory defined by the augmented smoothing equations and global convergence of the method under an assumption that the original P0 matrix linear complementarity problem has a solution. The method has been tested on the P0 matrix linear complementarity problem with unbounded solution set. Preliminary numerical results indicate the robustness of the method.

e-Transactions: End-to-End Reliability for Three-Tier Architectures
Authors: Svend Frølund, Rachid Guerraoui
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2002)

A three-tier application is organized as three layers: human users interact with front-end clients (e.g., browsers), middle-tier application servers (e.g., Web servers) contain the business logic of the application, and perform transactions against back-end databases. Although three-tier applications are becoming mainstream, they usually fail to provide sufficient reliability guarantees to the users. Usually, replication and transaction-processing techniques are applied to specific parts of the application, but their combination does not provide end-to-end reliability. The aim of this paper is to provide a precise specification of a desirable, yet realistic, end-to-end reliability contract in three-tier applications. We present the specification in the form of the Exactly-Once Transaction (e-Transaction) abstraction: an abstraction that encompasses both safety and liveness properties in three-tier environments. We give an example implementation of that abstraction and point out alternative implementations and tradeoffs.

Competing with Information: A Manager's Guide to Creating Business Value with Information Content
Authors: Donald A. Marchand
Venue:  (2000)

:Explore how information can be used as a competitive tool throughout a company with the guidance of one of Europe's premier executive business schoolsEvery year nearly 4,000 executives attend one of the twenty-one Executive Development Programs or tailored Partnership Programs offered by the International Institute of Management Development, ranked as one of the most eminent business schools by Businessweek and US News & World Report. These programs force attendees to develop personal competencies and abandon outmoded procedures that may be established in their companies. Encompassing the ethos, structure, and core values of this program, this book shows why companies that compete well with information are in a strong market position. It focuses on how information management can create real business value in four ways: minimizing risk, reducing costs, delighting customers, and creating a new reality. It details the what, why, and how of information management and looks at the four-net strategies: Internet, Intranet, Extranet, and the industry net.Donald Marchand (Lausanne, Switzerland) is a management specialist at the International Institute of Management Development (IMD).

Multivariate Divided Differences with Simple Knots
Authors: Christophe Rabut
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

In d dimensions ($d\geq1$), the order $\ga\mathord\in\Nd$ divided difference of a function f from \ifmmode {\RR^d} \else $\RR^d$ \fi to $\mathbb{R}$, associated with a $\PP_n$-unisolvent set\ $A\subset\ifmmode {\RR^d} \else $\RR^d$ \fi$, is the coefficient of $x^\ifmmode \alpha \else $\alpha$ \fi$ of the interpolating polynomial of the points $(a,f(a))_{a\mathord\in A}$; it is a linear combination of pointwise values of f in A. This is a generalization of the usual \dd (obtained for d=1 and $\ifmmode \alpha \else $\alpha$ \fi\=n$) with which we compare the main properties.

Approximation Techniques for Average Completion Time Scheduling
Authors: C. Chekuri, R. Motwani, B. Natarajan, C. Stein
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We consider the problem of nonpreemptive scheduling to minimize average (weighted) completion time, allowing for release dates, parallel machines, and precedence constraints. Recent work has led to constant-factor approximations for this problem based on solving a preemptive or linear programming relaxation and then using the solution to get an ordering on the jobs. We introduce several new techniques which generalize this basic paradigm. We use these ideas to obtain improved approximation algorithms for one-machine scheduling to minimize average completion time with release dates. In the process, we obtain an optimal randomized on-line algorithm for the same problem that beats a lower bound for deterministic on-line algorithms. We consider extensions to the case of parallel machine scheduling, and for this we introduce two new ideas: first, we show that a preemptive one-machine relaxation is a powerful tool for designing parallel machine scheduling algorithms that simultaneously produce good approximations and have small running times; second, we show that a nongreedy "rounding" of the relaxation yields better approximations than a greedy one. We also prove a general theorem relating the value of one-machine relaxations to that of the schedules obtained for the original m-machine problems. This theorem applies even when there are precedence constraints on the jobs. We apply this result to obtain improved approximation ratios for precedence graphs such as in-trees, out-trees, and series-parallel graphs.
The C Primer Plus, 3rd edition
Authors: Stephen Prata
Venue:  (1998)

:C Primer Plus is a conversational-style book aimed at those new to C programming. A friendly and easy-to-use self-study guide, this book will be appropriate for serious students of programming, as well as developers proficient in other languages with a desire to better understand the fundamentals of this core language.As with all the editions, author Stephen Prata's aim has been to create an introduction to C that is instructive, clear, and helpful. Programming concepts are explained along with details of the C language; the book does not assume that you are a professional programmer. Many short, easily typed examples illustrate just one or two concepts at a time, since learning by doing is one of the most effective ways to master new information. Finally, review questions and programming exercises at the end of each chapter punctuate the most critical information and help readers digest the most difficult concepts. The text has been updated to accommodate the emergence of a new standard for C-C99.
Upper semi-lattice of binary strings with the relation "x is simple conditional to y"
Authors: Alexei Chernov, Andrej Muchnik, Andrei Romashchenko, Alexander Shen, Nikolai Vereshchagin
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In this paper we construct a structure R that is a "finite version" of the semi-lattice of Turing degrees. Its elements are strings (technically, sequences of strings) and xy means thatK(x|y)=(conditional Kolmogorov complexity of x relative to y) is small. We construct two elements in R that do not have greatest lower bound. We give a series of examples that show how natural algebraic constructions give two elements that have lower bound 0 (minimal element) but significant mutual information. (A first example of that kind was constructed by G&aacute;cs-K&ouml;rner (Problems Control Inform. Theory 2 (1973) 149) using a completely different technique.) We define a notion of "complexity profile" of the pair of elements of R and give (exact) upper and lower bounds for it in a particular case.

Designing for mobility, collaboration and information use by blue-collar workers
Authors: Jacqueline Brodie, Mark Perry
Venue: ACM SIGGROUP Bulletin (2001)

The uptake of mobile phones in the UK has increased exponentially in the past two years, indicating that a wider range of users are now utilising mobile technologies in different contexts than ever before. Still little is known about how mobile technologies are used amongst different populations in specific contexts and this research addresses the context of work use by blue-collar workers with an aim to augmenting this with new mobile technologies better suited to their informational and communicative needs.Most of the current public domain research into mobile device use practice concentrates primarily on professional workers (the ubiquitous 'mobile professional') and 'knowledge workers' (e.g. Bellotti and Bly, 1996; O'Hara et al. 2001). It seeks to discover how mobile technology, particularly Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) and 'communicators', can be designed to help mobile professionals retain a sense of awareness of their workplace and work colleagues while they are away from their traditional workplaces. To a lesser extent, 'teens' (Ling, 2000) using SMS/text messaging and novice users (e.g. Palen, 2000) are also examined, but there is very little understanding of the nature of other, and equally as important (in terms of the numbers of users and their importance to the economy), less well represented user groups.
