Comparative Programming Languages, 2nd edition
Authors: Leslie B. Wilson, Robert G. Clark
Venue:  (1993)

:This book identifies and explains the essential concepts underlying the design and use of programming languages and provides a good balance of theory and practice. The author compares how the major languages handle issues such as declarations, types, data abstraction, information hiding, modularity, and the support given to the development of reliable software systems. The emphasis is on the similarities, rather than the differences, between languages, and primarily covers modern, widely used objectoriented and procedural languages such as Java, C++, C, Pascal (including its implementation in Delphi), Ada 95, and Perl, with special chapters being devoted to functional and logic languages. The new edition has been brought fully up to date with new developments in the field: the increase in the use of OO languages as a programmer's first language; the growth in importance of graphical user interfaces (GUIs); and the widespread use of the Internet. This book is suitable for readers with a Java or procedurallanguage background who want to get into the theory of programminglanguage development and utilization. /*@ISBN = 0201710129 @MAINCAT = Programming Languages @DATALINE1 = 2001, 384 pages, 7 1/4 x 9 1/8 @DATALINE2 = Paper, $50.00k*/
New Band Toeplitz Preconditioners for Ill-Conditioned Symmetric Positive Definite Toeplitz Systems
Authors: D. Noutsos, P. Vassalos
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

It is well known that preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) methods are widely used to solve ill-conditioned Toeplitz linear systems Tn(f)x=b. In this paper we present a new preconditioning technique for the solution of symmetric Toeplitz systems generated by nonnegative functions f with zeros of even order. More specifically, f is divided by the appropriate trigonometric polynomial g of the smallest degree, with zeros the zeros of f to eliminate its zeros. Using rational approximation we approximate $\sqrt{f/g}$ by $\frac{p}{q}$, $p,q$ trigonometric polynomials and consider $\frac{p^2g}{q^2}$ as a very satisfactory approximation of f. We propose the matrix $M_n=B^{-1}_n(q)B_n(p^2g)B^{-1}_n(q)$, where $B(\cdot)$ denotes the associated band Toeplitz matrix, as a preconditioner whence a good clustering of the spectrum of its preconditioned matrix is obtained. We also show that the proposed technique can be very flexible, a fact that is confirmed by various numerical experiments so that in many cases it constitutes a much more efficient strategy than the existing ones.

Venue:  (2000)

:Optical WDM networking technology is spearheading a bandwidth revolution in the networking infrastructure being developed for the next generation Internet. Rapid advances in optical components have enabled the transition from point-to-point WDM links to all-optical networking. Optical WDM Networks: Principles and Practice presents some of the most important challenges facing the optical networking community, along with some suggested solutions. Earlier textbooks in optical networking have a narrower perspective, and rapidly advancing research has created the need for fresh and current information on problems and issues in the field. The volume editors and contributing authors have endeavoured to capture a substantial subset of the key problems and known solutions to these problems. All of the chapters are original contributions from leading international researchers. The chapters address a wide variety of topics, including the state of the art in WDM technology, physical components that make up WDM fiber-optic networks, medium access protocols, wavelength routed networks, optical access networks, network management, and performance evaluation of wavelength routing networks. The chapters also survey critical points in past research and tackle more recent problems. Practitioners and network product engineers interested in current state-of-the-art information beyond textbook-type coverage, and graduate students commencing research in this area, will appreciate the concise  and pertinent  information presented herein.

Video sequence segmentation using genetic algorithms
Authors: Eun Yi Kim, Se Hyun Park, Sang Won Hwang, Hang Joon Kim
Venue: Pattern Recognition Letters (2002)

This paper proposes a new video sequence segmentation method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) that can improve computational efficiency. The computation is distributed into chromosomes that evolve using distributed genetic algorithms (DGAs). Each chromosome consists of a label and feature vector. The label is used as the region number for the pixel where the chromosome is located. Based on the temporal correlation between two consecutive frames in a video sequence, the segmentation of a frame is successively obtained using the segmentation result of the previous frame. In addition to eliminating redundant computation, only unstable chromosomes corresponding to moving object parts are evolved. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Neuronal Bases and Psychological Aspects of Consciousness
Authors: Carl Musio
Venue:  (1998)

:For a few decades, the puzzle of consciousness, which for centuries was analysed by philosophers, has been finding a wide interest in the scientific field, where previously it was not entitled to be a member. It has become one of the most-debated problems in the cognitive sciences. The anatomical bases, neurophysiological correlates and elementary mechanisms underlying complex processes arising with consciousness have been compared with the psychological (perceptive, cognitive, volitive, emotional) aspects of conscious expressions, in normal and pathological conditions. Various theories, which attempt to fit systematically and coherently neural and psychological data, have been debated, proving the emergence of the phenomenon of consciousness.

Optimal Control Problems for Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Non-Lipschitz Coefficients
Authors: Sandra Cerrai
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

By using the dynamic programming approach, we study a control problem for a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion systems with coefficients having polynomial growth. In the cost functional a non-Lipschitz term appears, and this allows us to treat the quadratic case, which is of interest in the applications. The corresponding Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equation is first resolved by a fixed point argument in a small time interval and then is extended to arbitrary time intervals by suitable a priori estimates. The main ingredient in the proof is the smoothing effect of the transition semigroup associated with the uncontrolled system.

Test Bus Sizing for System-on-a-Chip
Authors: Vikram Iyengar, Krishnendu Chakrabarty
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

System-on-a-chip (SOC) designs present a number of unique testability challenges to system integrators. Test access to embedded cores often requires dedicated test access mechanisms (TAMs). We present an improved approach for designing efficient TAMs and investigate the problems of improved deserialization of test data in the core wrapper, optimal test bus sizing, and optimal assignment of cores to test buses in the system. Place-and-route and power constraints are incorporated in the model. This work represents an important first step towards combining TAM design with efficient wrapper design for test data deserialization. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed TAM optimization methodology provides efficient test bus designs for minimizing the testing time.

:The book introduces in detail an interdisciplinary application area of distributed systems, namely the computer support of individuals trying to solve a problem in cooperation with each other but not necessarily having identical work places or working times. CSCW can be viewed as a synergism between the areas of distributed systems and (multimedia) communications on the one hand and those of information science and socio-organizational theory on the other hand. Thus, the book is addressed to students of all these disciplines, as well as to users and developers of systems with group communication and cooperation as top priorities.
A Trust-Region Approach to the Regularization of Large-Scale Discrete Forms of Ill-Posed Problems
Authors: Marielba Rojas, Danny C. Sorensen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We consider large-scale least squares problems where the coefficient matrix comes from the discretization of an operator in an ill-posed problem, and the right-hand side contains noise. Special techniques known as regularization methods are needed to treat these problems in order to control the effect of the noise on the solution. We pose the regularization problem as a quadratically constrained least squares problem. This formulation is equivalent to Tikhonov regularization, and we note that it is also a special case of the trust-region subproblem from optimization. We analyze the trust-region subproblem in the regularization case and we consider the nontrivial extensions of a recently developed method for general large-scale subproblems that will allow us to handle this case. The method relies on matrix-vector products only, has low and fixed storage requirements, and can handle the singularities arising in ill-posed problems. We present numerical results on test problems, on an inverse interpolation problem with field data, and on a model seismic inversion problem with field data.
