Pseudospectral Calculations of Viscoelastic Flow in a Periodically Constricted Tube
Authors: Stergios Pilitsis, Anthony N. Beris
Venue:  (1991)

The numerical implementation and results of a full pseudospectral method applied to the solution of an axisymmetric steady-state viscoelastic flow problem--the flow through a periodically constricted tube--are discussed. The method involves a double series expansion of the variables in terms of Fourier functions (sin and cos) in the periodic (axial) direction and Chebychev polynomials in the radial one. Results obtained with the Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid model are compared against those calculated using mixed pseudospectral/ finite difference formulations. When viscoelasticity is absent (Newtonian viscous flow) the full pseudospectral calculations are extremely accurate--the small amplitude perturbation solution can be reproduced up to six digits of accuracy. The computed results in the Newtonian limit converge exponentially fast with the number of modes involved in either the radial or the axial directions. Furthermore, the results are in excellent agreement with the predictions obtained using independent numerical techniques. However, the accuracy of calculations decreases with increasing elasticity in the flow, to the point where it becomes inferior to the accuracy obtained by the mixed techniques involving similar or less computational effort. The latter methods are shown to be much more robust, their accuracy being only slightly affected with increasing accuracy in the flow.
A Tool for Belief Updating over Time in Bayesian Networks
Authors: Jie Yang, Chilukuri K. Mohan, Kishan G. Mehrotra, Pramod K. Varshney
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (2002)

We have developed a tool that facilitates dynamically updating beliefs with time. This tooladdresses directed probabilistic inference networks that may contain cycles, and takes into account the time delays associated with observations and decisions. Relevance of different observers may decay at different rates in the same application, and the belief in a hypothesis decays towards the associated prior probability. Simple models with few parameters have been implemented, with a user interface that facilitates changes to the structure and parameters of the graphical model, and associated conditional probabilities.
The i-mode Wireless Ecosystem
Authors: Takeshi Natsuno
Venue:  (2003)

:i-mode is the packet-based service for mobile phones offered by Japan's leader in wireless technology, NTT DoCoMo. Unlike most of the key players in the wireless arena, i-mode eschews the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and uses a simplified version of HTML, Compact Wireless Markup Language (CWML) instead of WAP's Wireless Markup Language (WML).Ever since its introduction in February 1999 i-mode has been the most successful mobile internet technology of the World. i.e. the quickness by which the technology has spread over Japan. In Japan, the number of i-mode users is close to a sensational 13 million. This means that 100f Japan's total population are using i- mode after not even 2 years of its existence.As a progression from his first book i-mode Strategy the author describes how i-mode has evolved. He focuses on the i-mode ecosystem (the metaphor he uses to describe such a self developing business) from concept to reality, the effect of i-mode, the evolution of Cell phones, partnerships with real businesses, such as the collaboration with Coca Cola in Japan, the struggle for dominance in the net business and the globalisation of the i-mode business arena from a Japanese only ecosystem to the global arena.The author is the most highly respected expert in this field. The i-mode Wireless Ecosystem is a must for everyone wanting to know more about NTT DoCoMo and how it has sustained its business model.Discusses the globalisation of i-mode featuring the key points such as origin, development, international expansion and the role of partners etc.Through using his own company's strategy and experience the author explains the value of creating abusiness 'ecosystem' and the benefits of co-operation between various mobile operatorsHighlights the reasons for i-mode's success in Japan and extrapolates these to future directionsA valuable addition to the bookshelf of all Mobile operators, especially those directly involved with Marketing, Product Development, and 3G; Content providers working within Product Development, Business Development, Marketing, and Mobile Services; and consultants, bankers and media professionals keen to gain an insight into this dynamic field.
Classification of random boolean networks
Authors: Carlos Gershenson
Venue: Proceedings of the eighth international conference on Artificial life (2002)

We provide the first classification of different types of Random Boolean Networks (RBNs). We study the differences of RBNs depending on the degree of synchronicity and determinism of their updating scheme. For doing so, we first define three new types of RBNs. We note some similarities and differences between different types of RBNs with the aid of a public software laboratory we developed. Particularly, we find that the point attractors are independent of the updating scheme, and that RBNs are more different depending on their determinism or non-determinism rather than depending on their synchronicity or asynchronicity. We also show a way of mapping non-synchronous deterministic RBNs into synchronous RBNs. Our results are important for justifying the use of specific types of RBNs for modelling natural phenomena.
Speaker Identification in Noisy Environment Using Bispectrum Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Network
Authors: Benyamin Kusumoputro, Adi Triyanto, M. Ivan Fanany, Wisnu Jatmiko
Venue: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Multimedia Applications (2001)

The work described in this paper addresses the application of a neural processing forextracting bispectrum feature of speech data, and the use of probabilistic neural network as a classifier in an automatic speech recognition system.The usually used feature extractionparadigm in the early development of the speech recognition system is power spectrum analysis, however, the recognition rate of this system is not high enough, especially when a Gaussian noise is added to the utterance speech data.In this paper, we developed a speaker identification system using bispectrum feature analysis.To analysis the distribution of the ispectrum data along its two dimensional representation, we developed an adaptive feature extraction mechanism of the bispectrum speech data based on cascade neural network.A cascade configuration of SOFM (Self-Organizing Feature Map)and LVQ (Learning Vector Quantization) is used as an adaptive codebook generation algorithm for determining the feature distribution of the bispectrum speech data.The K-L transformation (K-LT) technique is then used as a preprocessing element before the neural classifier is utilized.This K-LT has shown as an effective procedure for orthogonalization and dimensionality reduction of the codebook vectors generated from bispectrum data.Experimental results show that our system could performed with high recognition rate on the undirected utterance speech, especially when a higher number of codebook vectors are utilized. It is also shown that the use of PNN could increase the recognition rate significantly, even using speech data with additional Gaussian noise.

Mutation of Java Objects
Authors: Roger T. Alexander, James M. Bieman, Sudipto Ghosh, Bixia Ji
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (2002)

Fault insertion based techniques have been used for measuringtest adequacy and testability of programs. Mutationanalysis inserts faults into a program with the goal of creatingmutation-adequate test sets that distinguish the mutantfrom the original program. Software testability is measuredby calculating the probability that a program will fail on thenext test input coming from a predefined input distribution,given that the software includes a fault. Inserted faults mustrepresent plausible errors.It is relatively easy to apply standard transformations tomutate scalar values such as integers, floats, and characterdata, because their semantics are well understood. Mutatingobjects that are instances of user defined types is moredifficult. There is no obvious way to modify such objects in amanner consistent with realistic faults, without writing custommutation methods for each object class. We propose anew object mutation approach along with a set of mutationoperators and support tools for inserting faults into objectsthat instantiate items from common Java libraries heavilyused in commercial software as well as user defined classes.Preliminary evaluation of our technique shows that it shouldbe effective for evaluating real-world software testing suites.Keywords: Faults, Java, mutation analysis, object-orientedprogramming, software testing, test adequacy,testability

MultiKron: performance measurement instrumentation
Authors: A. Mink
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd International Computer Performance and Dependability Symposium (IPDS '96) (1996)

The focus of our instrumentation work at NIST is to provide hardware support in obtaining performance measurement data of parallel computers, as well as uniprocessors, with tolerable perturbation to both the executing processes and the architecture on which they are executing. Tracing events and counting are two basic concepts of performance measurement-both should be controlled from within the code. The concept of tracing events is to follow selected points within execution paths so that execution times, delays, and event correlation can be computed. The concept of counting provides the basic mechanism for clocks, stop watches, histograms, etc., which can tally events at high frequencies-a must for high speed hardware events. Various forms of performance counters are starting to appear on commercial processor chips (e.g., Intel Pentium, MIPS R10000, IBM Power2, DEC Alpha). The exploration of instrumentation to provide these basic concepts in various ways within the constraints of low perturbation, low cost, and similar circuit technology has been the focus of our work.

A note on fairness in I/O automata
Authors: Judi M.T. Romijn, Frits W. Vaandrager
Venue:  (1995)

Notions of weak and strong fairness are studied in the setting of the I/O automaton model of Lynch & Tuttle. The concept of a fair I/O automaton is introduced and it is shown that a fair I/O automaton paired with the set of its fair executions is a live I/O automaton provided that (1) in each reachable state at most countably many fairness sets are enabled, and (2) input actions cannot disable strong fairness sets. This result, which generalizes previous results known from the literature, was needed to solve a problem posed by Broy & Lamport for the Dagstuhl Workshop on Reactive Systems.
{\bf Revised to CS-1994-03.} A Notation for Lambda Terms I: A Generalization of Environments
Authors: Gopalan Nadathur, Sue D Wilson
Venue:  (1993)

%A notation for lambda terms is described that is useful in contexts %where the intensions of these terms need to be manipulated. This %notation uses the scheme of de Bruijn for eliminating variable names, %thus obviating $\alpha$-conversion in comparing terms. This %notation also provides for a class of terms that can encode other terms %together with substitutions to be performed on them. The notion of an %environment is used to realize this `delaying'' of substitutions. The %precise mechanism employed here is, however, more complex than the %usual environment mechanism because it has to support the ability to %examine subterms embedded under abstractions. The representation %presented permits a $\beta$-contraction to be realized via %an atomic step that generates a substitution and associated steps that %percolate this substitution over the structure of a term. %The operations on terms that are described also include ones for %combining substitutions so that they might be performed %simultaneously. Our notation eventually provides a basis for efficient %realizations of $\beta$-reduction and also serves as a means for %interleaving steps inherent in this operation with steps in other %operations such as higher-order unification. The various %manipulations on terms in our notation are described through a system %of rewrite rules. The correspondence of this rewrite system to the %usual notion of $\beta$-reduction is exhibited and is used in %establishing confluence and other properties pertaining to it. %There have been other proposals recently that are similar in spirit to %the one presented here, and the relationship between these is %discussed. Refinements to our notation and rewrite system and the %use of these in describing manipulations on lambda terms are %considered in detail in a companion paper.

CodAlf: A Decentralized Workflow Management System on Top of OSF DCE and DC++
Authors: Alexander Schilla, Christian Mittasch
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (1997)

This paper describes a new workjlow management system (WJMS) named CodAlf: It is based on a completely decentralized system architecture. The approach especially enables the support of distributed organizations as well as dynamic growth and reconjiguration. CodAlf supports collaborative work and decentralization with the help of a comfortable type management. The implementation uses the OSF Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) as a basis. All components are modeled and implemented as objects of a distributed system on top of DC++, an object- oriented extension of DCE. In addition to runtime support, a workjlow specifcation language and a workjlow design tool are ofered. The system is also compared to commercially available Wm.9 and to decentralized object-oriented approaches.
A Join Algorithm Utilizing Multiple Path Indexes in Object-Oriented Database Systems
Authors: Wan-Sup Cho, Seung-Sun Lee, Yong-Ik Yoon:, Kyu-Young Whang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (1996)

Although various types of path indexes -- indexes on path expressions -- have been proposed for efficient processing of object-oriented queries, conventional join algorithms do not effectively utilize them. We propose a new join algorithm called OID join algorithm that effectively utilizes (multiple) path indexes in object-oriented databases. When (multiple) path indexes are available for a query, OID join algorithm may reduce the query evaluation cost significantly by taking full advantage of the path indexes. We present cost analysis for OID join algorithm and compare it with those of conventional ones.
Locking with Different Granularities for Reads and Writes in an MVM System
Authors: P. Bodorik, J. Slonim, D. Jutla, A. Agarwal
Venue: Proceedings of the 1999 International Symposium on Database Engineering & Applications (1999)

The focus of this paper is to investigate the use of the Multi-view Virtual Memory (MVM) in providing efficient locking services for transaction processing or DB systems. The granularity of locking is customizable by applications and, furthermore, the locking granularities for read and write operations may differ.The system provides for enforcement of access control protocols on units of a memory region through FSM specification. The units of data can vary in size from one region of memory to another. Threads executing transactions do not explicitly request locks on data items - they simply access the data items while locking is represented through state transitions and is performed automatically. Only when a thread is suspended are the state changes communicated to the software lock manager. Context switching overhead is thus reduced.Synchronization of threads is possible within a single task or across tasks. Any synchronization protocol that can be represented by an FSM is supported by the MVM system. This paper describes how MVM supports sophisticated locking in which the locking granularities for read and write operations differ. Benefits, which are expressed in terms of throughput, gained using such locking are investigated using a simulation study.
ClassExpert: A Knowledge-Based Assistant to Support Reuse by Specialization and Modification in Smalltalk
Authors: Krzysztof Czarnecki, Reinhard Hanselmann, Ulrich W. Eisenecker, Wolfgang Koepf, Daimler-Benz, Research, Technology
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Software Reuse (1996)

Smalltalk-80 is an object-oriented system promoting "programming by reuse". However, the complexity of the Smalltalk class library makes it difficult for the non-expert user to find the problem-solving class. This paper describes ClassExpert, a tool that helps to retrieve classes matching the functional specification provided by the user. ClassExpert deploys an attribute-value classification scheme with taxonomies. This paper also shows how this scheme can be used to support reuse by specialization and modification.
