tele-TASK: teleteaching anywhere solution kit
Authors: Volker Schillings, Christoph Meinel
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

With the help of the new developed system tele-TASK - Teleteaching Anywhere Solution Kit - [2] [7] a new, drastically simplified entrance technology for on-line lectures is reached. Out of the apartment or the office each PC user with a suitable Internet connection can follow online lessons comfortably. Even an interested layman is able to access the courses. Not only content of teaching are delivered, which are presented to the students in the lecture-room by either a whiteboard or a video beamer, but simultaneously also video and audio of the lecturer. Navigation bar for accessing different parts in the recorded lecture are included. Tele-TASK supports all usual platforms, different net bandwidths, arbitrary presentation programs and needs no special software installations, configurations and no precognition of the end-users. For the first time, the system was deployed for recording, transmission and archiving of the computer science lecture "Information security in open networks" at the University of Trier in the summer semester 2002. High access numbers are expression of the perfectly problem-free and easy possibilities of using.

On the algorithmic inversion of the discrete Radon transform
Authors: Peter Gritzmann, Sven de Vries
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

The present paper deals with the computational complexity of the discrete inverse problem of reconstructing finite point sets and more general functionals with finite support that are accessible only through some of the values of their discrete Radon transform. It turns out that this task behaves quite differently from its well-studied companion problem involving 1-dimensional X-rays. Concentrating on the case of coordinate hyperplanes in Rd and on functionals :ZdD with D{{0,1,...,r},N0} for some arbitrary but fixed r, we show in particular that the problem can be solved in polynomial time if information is available for m such hyperplanes when md1 but is NP-hard for m=d and D={0,1,...,r}. However, for D=N0, a case that is relevant in the context of contingency tables, the problem is still in P. Similar results are given for the task of determining the uniqueness of a given solution and for a related counting problem.
An Augmented Lagrangian Function with Improved Exactness Properties
Authors: Gianni Di Pillo, Stefano Lucidi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

In this paper we introduce a new exact augmented Lagrangian function for the solution of general nonlinear programming problems. For this Lagrangian function a complete equivalence between its unconstrained minimization on an open set and the solution of the original constrained problem can be established under mild assumptions and without requiring the boundedness of the feasible set of the constrained problem. Moreover we describe an unconstrained algorithmic model which is globally convergent toward KKT pairs of the original constrained problem. The algorithmic model can be endowed with a superlinear rate of convergence by a proper choice of the search direction in the unconstrained minimization, without requiring strict complementarity.

A Posteriori Error Control of Finite Element Approximations for Coulomb's Frictional Contact
Authors: Patrice Coorevits, Patrick Hild, Mohammed Hjiaj
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

This paper is concerned with the frictional unilateral contact problem governed by Coulomb's law. We define an a posteriori error estimator based on the concept of error in the constitutive relation to quantify the accuracy of a finite element approximation of the problem. We propose and study different mixed finite element approaches and discuss their properties in order to compute the estimator. The information given by the error estimates is then coupled with a mesh adaptivity technique which provides the user with the desired quality and minimizes the computation costs. The numerical implementation of the error estimator as well as optimized computations are performed.

Functional strips: a more flexible language for planning and problem solving
Authors: Héctor Geffner
Venue: Logic-based artificial intelligence (2000)

Effective planning requires good modeling languages and good algorithms. The Strips language has shaped most of the work in planning since the early 70's due to its effective solution of the frame problem and its support for divide-and-conquer strategies. In recent years, however, planning strategies not based on divide-and-conquer and work on theories of actions suggest that alternative languages can make modeling and planning easier. With this goal in mind, we have developed Functional Strips, a language that adds first-class function symbols to Strips providing additional flexibility in the codification of planning problems. This extension is orthogonal and complementary to extensions accommodated in other languages such as conditional effects, quantification, negation, etc. Function symbols, unlike relational symbols, can be nested so objects need not be referred to by their explicit names and as a result more efficient encodings can be provided. For example, a problem like the 8-puzzle can be codified in terms of four actions with no arguments; Hanoi, can be codified with a number of ground actions independent of the number of disks; resources and constraints can be easily presented, etc. Functional Strips is both an action and a planning language in the sense that actions are understood declaratively in terms of a state-based semantics and operationally in terms of efficient updates on state representations. In this paper, we present the language, the semantics and a number of examples, and discuss possible uses in planning and problem solving.
A New Method for Micro-Macro Simulations of Viscoelastic Flows
Authors: C. Chauviere
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper we develop a robust numerical method derived from the Brownian configuration field method [M. A. Hulsen, A.P. G. Van Heel, and B.H.A. A. Van Den Brule, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech., 70 (1997), pp. 79--101] for the simulation of flows of dilute polymeric solutions. The statistical properties of the Wiener stochastic process in the stochastic differential equation describing the evolution of the configuration vector are exploited in order to derive a simple expression for the polymeric contribution to the stress. The method is tested numerically by solving the benchmark problem of the flow of an Oldroyd B fluid past a cylinder in a channel using a spectral element method. Results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method.

Uncovering expectations of web site visitors and building a site that makes discovering IT easy
Authors: Warren Mayer, Todd Krupa
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

Two years after transforming its World Wide Web presence and publishing process, Information & Access Technology Services at the University of Missouri-Columbia embarked on developing and publicly documenting another online redesign: the evolution from a "best guess" to "can't miss" site.Armed with 24 months of use data and feedback from surveys and focus groups, IAT Services was able to combine known strengths of the 2000 site and develop solutions from suggestions for the 2002 site. The entire initiative focused on a summary comment from a focus group participant: "If you put this stuff on your site, don't worry, we'll visit it. Often."Capitalizing on the stability of the Web publishing process, the 2002 site redesign initiative aimed at three objectives:To provide personal information to users about all of the services IAT Services provides them.To overtly retool the site interface in a service-focused manner consistent with all related publications, including the cornerstone Everything Guides.To complete the identity tie to Got Technology?, an effort focusing on making technology at MU easy to acquire, access and use.This paper will journey through the redesign, outline the important infrastructure requirements, discuss the critical decisions and rationale behind them and provide before, during and after snapshots of the evolution at MU.

Averaging and Vibrational Control of Mechanical Systems
Authors: Francesco Bullo
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

This paper investigates averaging theory and oscillatory control for a large class of mechanical systems. A link between averaging and controllability theory is presented by relating the key concepts of averaged potential and symmetric product. Both analysis and synthesis results are presented within a coordinate-free framework based on the theory of affine connections. The analysis focuses on characterizing the behavior of mechanical systems forced by high amplitude high frequency inputs. The averaged system is shown to be an affine connection system subject to an appropriate forcing term. If the input codistribution is integrable, the subclass of systems with Hamiltonian equal to "kinetic plus potential energy" is closed under the operation of averaging. This result precisely characterizes when the notion of averaged potential arises and how it is related to the symmetric product of control vector fields. Finally, a notion of vibrational stabilization for mechanical systems is introduced, and sufficient conditions are provided in the form of linear matrix equality and inequality tests.
