Applications of Join Java
Authors: G Stewart Itzstein, David Kearney
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

We have previously proposed Join Java, a super-set of Java that incorporates the synchronisation and concurrency semantics of the Join calculus. Join Java incorporates asynchronous method calls and message passing. These modifications support the object-oriented flavour of Java. Synchronisation is expressed by a conjunction of method calls that will execute associated code only when all parts of the condition are satisfied. Thread creation is expressed by addition of a new return type that indicates an asynchronous method. This paper illustrates how Join Java can be used to represent two popular process semantics in a straight forward manner. In this paper we first examine state charts and how they map directly into Join Java syntax. We then examine Petri nets and how they also map into Join Java.
An Optimization Problem for Predicting the Maximal Effect of Degradation of Mechanical Structures
Authors: W. Achtziger, M. P. BendsOe, J. E. Taylor
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

This paper deals with a nonlinear nonconvex optimization problem that models prediction of degradation in discrete or discretized mechanical structures. The mathematical difficulty lies in equality constraints of the form $\sum^{m}_{i=1} \frac{1}{y_i} A_i x=b$, where Ai are symmetric and positive semidefinite matrices, b is a vector, and x,y are the vectors of unknowns. The linear objective function to be maximized is $(x,y)\mapsto b^Tx$.In a first step we investigate the problem properties such as existence of solutions and the differentiability of related marginal functions. As a by-product, this gives insight in terms of a mechanical interpretation of the optimization problem. We derive an equivalent convex problem formulation and a convex dual problem, and for dyadic matrices Ai a quadratic programming problem formulation is developed. A nontrivial numerical example is included, based on the latter formulation.

One size does not fit all (but a good model might): the academic media & technology pyramid
Authors: Philip E. Long, Jonathan Lizee, Ann G. Green, Edward Kairiss, Charles Powell
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

This paper presents a design philosophy for the targeted and cost-effective delivery of information technology services that balance innovation and infrastructure needs within an academic institution. Utilizing case studies from Yale University, the model which describes this philosophy is presented as generalizeable allowing accommodation of academic populations of different sizes, cultures and budgets. A key element is the ability to readily adapt to new technology through appropriate innovation while maintaining core commitments to production services, both of which are necessary for the effective infusion of IT in an academic environment.
Association of graphic images and dynamic attributes
Authors: S. Bergman, A. Kaufman
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1977)

Various approaches to explicit and implicit control of time and motion in procedural real-time graphic packages and languages are discussed and illustrated. The particular approach of independentty defining static objects and dynamic attribute is introduced and developed. The procedures which alter and manipulate basic objects at interactive run time, teamed "dynamic attributes," may be defined independently of objects as a function of time, input, and other variables. Attributes, once defined, may be associated with and dissociated from objects dynamically. Several objects may simultaneously have the identical attribute. A particular & association exists within its own zero-origin local time frame. Basic objects are static two-or three-dimensional entities in some space. Dynamic objects termed "images" may be recursively defined in teams oa basic objects and attributes. Objects and attributes are the basic building blocks enabling modular program construction. The notions presented here can be used as the basis for design of interactive graphic languages or oda the implementation of graphics packages. An experimental FORTRAN-callable package has been developed to test these notions.

Third-Generation CDMA Systems for Enhanced Data Services
Authors: Jerry D. Gibson, Jersey Lai, Giridhar D. Mandyam
Venue:  (2002)

:Until now, most wireless devices have been used for voice transmission, but the new third generation of wireless devices promise greatly enhanced delivery of both voice and data communications. These devices are currently under development and are being built using the two major CDMA (code division multiple access) systems, cdma2000 and wideband CDMA. These telecommunication systems use signal codes to receive voice and data information. This authoritative new book reviews both of these systems and deals with the challenges engineers face in bringing these next generation devices to market. The authors work at Nokia, one of the world's leading companies involved with the design, development, and manufacture of wireless telephones and devices. They are closely involved within Nokia and the industry in working with CDMA standardization to bring this technology to the consumer. This is the first book to cover both of the leading CDMA standards (cdma2000 and wideband CDMA), and it provides an authoritative, current review of the newest third generation technologies. This book is ideal for the engineers developing wireless devices (at Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, Motorola, etc.), as well as for those in the service sectors (i.e. AT&T, Verizon, Voicestream, Quest, etc.).
On the Firing Line: My 500 Days at Apple Computer
Authors: Gil Amelio, William Simon
Venue:  (1998)

:On the Firing Line: My 500 Days at Apple is Gil Amelio's recollection of what happened, told from his unique perspective as the occupant of Apple's hot seat. This is the revealing story of how a proven high-technology turnaround artist took on the biggest challenge of his career  and perhaps his life. Nothing could have prepared Amelio for the chaos that greeted him when he took over as CEO. First there was the reversal he suffered at the hands of the in-house legal staff from day one that rendered his highly touted compensation package a sham. Then, rapidly, came the spiraling maelstrom of problems  financial, organizational, and creative  that threatened daily to sweep him and Apple into oblivion. Amelio quickly uncovered the truth that the company was hemorrhaging both dollars and talent. He immediately plunged into a multifaceted rescue effort that included an extensive fund-raising campaign to solve Apple's cashflow problem and fevered negotiations for a new Macintosh operating system with luminaries such as Jean-Louis Gassee, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs. In his own words, Amelio exposes a company that continually undermines its own best efforts, with financial officers using out-of-date systems that take weeks to process the most elementary data and sales executives being accused of "channel stuffing"  strong-arming retailers to buy computers they didn't need in order to make the company's quarterly sales look better.
Modified Two-Point Stepsize Gradient Methods for Unconstrained Optimization
Authors: Yuhong Dai, Jinyun Yuan, Ya-Xiang Yuan
Venue: Computational Optimization and Applications (2002)

For unconstrained optimization, the two-point stepsize gradient method is preferable over the classical steepest descent method both in theory and in real computations. In this paper we interpret the choice for the stepsize in the two-point stepsize gradient method from the angle of interpolation and propose two modified two-point stepsize gradient methods. The modified methods are globally convergent under some mild assumptions on the objective function. Numerical results are reported, which suggest that improvements have been achieved.

A Chromatic Symmetric Function in Noncommuting Variables
Authors: David D. Gebhard, Bruce E. Sagan
Venue: Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Journal (2001)

Stanley (i>Advances in Math. 111, 1995, 166&ndash;194) associated with a graph i>G a symmetric function i>XG which reduces to i>G's chromatic polynomial {\cal X}_{G}(n) under a certain specialization of variables. He then proved various theorems generalizing results about {\cal X}_{G}(n), as well as new ones that cannot be interpreted on the level of the chromatic polynomial. Unfortunately, i>XG does not satisfy a Deletion-Contraction Law which makes it difficult to apply the useful technique of induction. We introduce a symmetric function i>YG in noncommuting variables which does have such a law and specializes to i>XG when the variables are allowed to commute. This permits us to further generalize some of Stanley's theorems and prove them in a uniform and straightforward manner. Furthermore, we make some progress on the (3 + 1)-free Conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge (i>J. Combin Theory (i>A) J. 62, 1993, 261&ndash;279).
Algebraic Multigrid Based on Element Interpolation (AMGe)
Authors: M. Brezina, A. J. Cleary, R. D. Falgout, V. E. Henson, J. E. Jones, T. A. Manteuffel, S. F. McCormick, J. W. Ruge
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We introduce AMGe, an algebraic multigrid method for solving the discrete equations that arise in Ritz-type finite element methods for partial differential equations. Assuming access to the element stiffness matrices, we have that AMGe is based on the use of two local measures, which are derived from global measures that appear in existing multigrid theory. These new measures are used to determine local representations of algebraically "smooth" error components that provide the basis for constructing effective interpolation and, hence, the coarsening process for AMG. Here, we focus on the interpolation process; choice of the coarse "grids" based on these measures is the subject of current research. We develop a theoretical foundation for AMGe and present numerical results that demonstrate the efficacy of the method.
