LAFCam: Leveraging affective feedback camcorder
Authors: Andrea Lockerd, Florian Mueller Mueller
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

If a video camera recognizes and records affective data from the camera operator, this data can help determine which sequences will be interesting to the camera operator at a later time. In the case of home videos, the camera operator is likely to also be the editor and narrator of the final video. LAFCam is a system for recording and editing home video. We facilitate the process of browsing and provide automatic editing features by indexing where the camera operator laughed and visualizing the skin conductivity and facial expressions in the editing session.
Analysis of the autonomous system network topology
Authors: Damien Magoni, Jean Jacques Pansiot
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2001)

Mapping the Internet is a major challenge for network researchers. It is the key to building a successful modeling tool able to generate realistic graphs for use in networking simulations. In this paper we provide a detailed analysis of the inter-domain topology of the Internet. The collected data and the resulting analysis began in November 1997 and cover a period of two and a half years. We give results concerning major topology properties (nodes and edges number, average degree and distance, routing policy, etc.) and main distributions (degree, distance, etc.). We also present many results about the trees of this network. The evolution of these properties is reviewed and major trends are highlighted. We propose some empirical laws that match this current evolution. Four new power-laws concerning the number of shortest paths between node pairs and the tree size distribution are provided with their detailed validation.
Continuous-time sigma-delta modulation for A/D conversion in radio receivers
Venue: Kluwer International Series In Engineering And Computer Science Series; Vol. 634 (2001)

Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta Modulation for A/D Conversion in Radio Receivers describes the design and theory of continuous-time sigma-delta modulators for analog-to-digital conversion in radio receivers. The book's main focus is on dynamic range, linearity and power efficiency aspects of sigma-delta modulators, which are very important requirements for use in battery operated receivers like GSM phones. An important part of the book deals with the image rejection performance of quadrature sigma-delta modulators. It is shown that techniques like dynamic-element-matching and integration of a mixer with the sigma-delta modulator greatly enhance the performance and functionality. In addition, the authors provide the reader with a theoretical overview of continuous-time sigma-delta modulation, including non-ideal effects, stability issues and different filter designs. The book's concluding chapters present chip realizations showing practical implementations of low-power and high-performance sigma-delta modulators for GSM and AM/FM radio applications.
Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Functional Optimization
Authors: Timothy Kam
Venue:  (1996)

:Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Functional Optimization is divided into three parts. The first part presents some preliminary definitions, theories and techniques related to the exploration of behaviors of FSMs. The second part presents an implicit algorithm for exact state minimization of incompletely specified finite state machines (ISFSMs), and an exhaustive presentation of explicit and implicit algorithms for the binate covering problem. The third part addresses the computation of permissible behaviors at a node of a network of FSMs and the related minimization problems of non-deterministic finite state machines (NDFSMs). Key themes running through the book are the exploration of behaviors contained in a non-deterministic FSM (NDFSM), and the representation of combinatorial problems arising in FSM synthesis by means of Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs). Synthesis of Finite State Machines: Functional Optimization will be of interest to researchers and designers in logic synthesis, CAD and design automation.
Java with Visual J++, 1st edition
Authors: Dudley W. Gill
Venue:  (1999)

:The use of Java as an application and system programming languagehas grown dramatically over the last several years, and hundreds of books have been published on the subject. With the advent of Visual J++ 6.0, however, the Java programming environment changes substantially -and makes most Java references and manuals obsolete. Many of the existing texts are rigorous, but reflect the early interest in Java's applet capability. Now, with the use of applets in Web sites significantly diminished and the emergence of the visual development environment, programmers, information technologists, and computer scientists need a text that addresses the visual development capability and Windows® orientation in addition to in-depth coverage of the major concepts and techniques of programming Java with Visual J++ is just such a text. Along with its thorough treatment of Java, event and object oriented programming, network programming, and Java applications, each chapter contains clearly stated objectives, hands-on exercises, review questions, a list of key words and concepts, and a summary. It serves as an outstanding introductory programming text, and offers an ideal "quick start" to this hot new product for Visual Basic, C, and COBOL programmers who need to make the shift to Java programming The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Two applications of analytic functors
Authors: Ryu Hasegawa
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We apply the theory of analytic functors to two topics related to theoretical computer science. One is a mathematical foundation of certain syntactic well-quasi-orders and well-orders appearing in graph theory, the theory of term rewriting systems, and proof theory. The other is a new verification of the Lagrange-Good inversion formula using several ideas appearing in semantics of lambda calculi, especially the relation between categorical traces and fixpoint operators.

Deletion in a relational data base defined on a non-redundant data model
Authors: Marc Oldham
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

A compller for a relational language, called MENTAT, has been described and implemented. This compiler takes the high level language of MENTAT and translates it into an intermediate language which allows a user to create, traverse, and obtain data from a physical data model. The data model is constructed to provide a level of non-redundancy within the elements of the relation. However, this structure posed significant problems when attempts were made to produce a deletion algorithm for it. This paper provides a detailed description of the deletion algorithm.

Making sense of sensing systems: five questions for designers and researchers
Authors: Victoria Bellotti, Maribeth Back, W. Keith Edwards, Rebecca E. Grinter, Austin Henderson, Cristina Lopes
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

This paper borrows ideas from social science to inform the design of novel "sensing" user-interfaces for computing technology. Specifically, we present five design challenges inspired by analysis of human-human communication that are mundanely addressed by traditional graphical user interface designs (GUIs). Although classic GUI conventions allow us to finesse these questions, recent research into innovative interaction techniques such as 'Ubiquitous Computing' and 'Tangible Interfaces' has begun to expose the interaction challenges and problems they pose. By making them explicit we open a discourse on how an approach similar to that used by social scientists in studying human-human interaction might inform the design of novel interaction mechanisms that can be used to handle human-computer communication accomplishments
Approaches to collection selection and results merging for distributed information retrieval
Authors: Yves Rasolofo, Faïza Abbaci, Jacques Savoy
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

We have investigated two major issues in Distributed Information Retrieval (DIR), namely: collection selection and search results merging. While most published works on these two issues are based on pre-stored metadata, the approaches described in this paper involve extracting the required information at the time the query is processed. In order to predict the relevance of collections to a given query, we analyse a limited number of full documents (e.g., the top five documents) retrieved from each collection and then consider term proximity within them. On the other hand, our merging technique is rather simple since input only requires document scores and lengths of results lists. Our experiments evaluate the retrieval effectiveness of these approaches and compare them with centralised indexing and various other DIR techniques (e.g., CORI). We conducted our experiments using two testbeds: one containing news articles extracted from four different sources (2 GB) and another containing 10 GB of Web pages. Our evaluations demonstrate that the retrieval effectiveness of our simple approaches is worth considering.

An efficient method for expressing active object in C++
Authors: Wang Chen, Zhou Ying, Zhang Defu
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2000)

Object-Oriented technology is fit for the construction of open systems. However, how to express distributed or concurrent objects has not been resolved in nowadays OO language. The active object concept is one kind of generalization of concurrent or distributed objects. We analyzed the characters of active objects in detail and propose an efficient method to express active behaviors in Object-Oriented language such as C++. What we lay stress on is to express active objects' two major features: concurrency and cooperative, especially the latter. The reusability of active objects is emphasized as well.

Contract Soundness for object-oriented languages
Authors: Robert Bruce Findler, Matthias Felleisen
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2001)

Checking pre- and post-conditions of procedures and methods at runtime helps improve software reliability. In the procedural world, pre- and post-conditions have a straightforward interpretation. If a procedure's pre-condition doesn't hold, the caller failed to establish the proper context. If a post-condition doesn't hold, the caller failed to establish the proper context. If a post-condition doesn't hold, the procedure failed to compute the expected result. In the object-oriented world, checking pre- and post-conditions for methods, often called contracts in this context, poses complex problems. Because methods may be overridden, it is not sufficient to check only pre- and post-conditions. In addition, the contract hierarchy must be checked to ensure that the contracts on overridden methods are properly related to the contracts on overriding methods. Otherwise, a class hierarchy may violate the substitution principle, that is, it may no longer be true that an instance of a class is substitutable for objects of the super-class. In this paper, we study the problem of contract enforcement in an object-oriented world from a foundational perspective. More specifically, we study contracts as refinements of types. Pushing the analogy further, we state and prove a contract soundness theorem that captures the essential properties of contract enforcement. We use the theorem to illustrate how most existing tools suffer from a fundamental flaw and how they can be improved.
Document release versus data access controls: two sides of the same coin?
Authors: Arnon Rosenthal, Gio Wiederhold
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

The database and document worlds have traditionally had different approaches to security. Databases provide access controls on structured data, while document security interrogates the outgoing information, based on document markings and actual contents. For the emerging world in which many documents are generated from structured data (and vice versa), the separation can cause failure, implementation-dependence, inconsistency, and wasted effort. After comparing approaches and mechanisms in the two areas, we identify issues in security administration and implementation in military and medical applications. We then present elements of a unifying model.
DEVOpT: a distributed architecture supporting heuristic and metaheuristic optimization methods
Authors: Eder N. Mathias, Celso M. da Costa, Fernando L. Dotti, Felipe M. Müller
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper presents a distributed software architecture that allows the cooperation among research institutions in the field of Combinatorial Optimization --- DEVOpT: Distributed Evolutionary Optimization Centers. It has as main aims to share existing algorithms for optimization problems, to allow the easy testing of these algorithms with existing instances, to provide fast and better ways to design new algorithms, and to share computational power among the cooperating institutions. This is achieved respecting the autonomy and heterogeneity of the cooperating institutions. The distributed architecture is discussed here and also a case study of a Parallel Memetic Algorithm to solve the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP) running on this environment is analyzed.
