VXT: a visual approach to XML transformations
Authors: Emmanuel Pietriga, Jean-Yves Vion-Dury, Vincent Quint
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM Symposium on Document engineering (2001)

The domain of XML transformations is becoming more and more important as a result of the increasing number of applications adopting XML as their format for data exchange or representation. Most of the existing solutions for expressing XML transformations are textual languages, such as XSLT or DOM combined with a general-purpose programming language. Several tools build on top of these languages, providing a graphical environment. Transformations are however still specified in a textual way using the underlying language (often XSLT), thus requiring the user to learn the associated textual language.We believe that visual programming techniques are well-suited to representing XML structures and make the specification of transformations simpler. We present a visual programming language for the specification of XML transformations in an interactive environment, based on a zoomable user interface toolkit. Transformations can be run from the application or exported to two target languages: XSLT and Circus, a general-purpose structure transformation language designed by the second author and briefly introduced in this paper.
Diffusive parallelism: a parallel programming model for large scale distributed computation systems
Authors: Peter D. Stout, Brian N. Bershad
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

The spread of networks and powerful workstations has created an attractive source of parallel computing power. We are exploring a new parallel programming model, called diffusive parallelism, designed specifically for use with large scale, distributed computation systems. The model provides a simple, yet powerful, abstraction to the programmer, while making it possible to build a secure, robust, distributed computation system in the presence of long delays, failure, and untrusted user programs. In contrast, most existing distributed computation systems have attempted to extend programming models appropriate to a single node. Diffusive parallelism provides the programmer with a task heap and a weakly consistent, logically centralized, shared data store, or blackboard. We are implementing diffusive parallelism in a system called Wax.

Constrained clock shifting for field programmable gate arrays
Authors: Deshanand P. Singh, Stephen D. Brown
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM/SIGDA tenth international symposium on Field-programmable gate arrays (2002)

Circuits implemented in FPGAs have delays that are dominated by its programmable interconnect. This interconnect provides the ability to implement arbitrary connections. However, it contains both highly capacitive and resistive elements. The delay encountered by any connection depends strongly on the number of interconnect elements used to route the connection. These delays are only completely known after the place and route phase of the CAD flow. We propose the use of Clock Shifting optimization techniques to improve the clock frequency as a post place and route step.Clock Shifting Optimization is a technique first formalized in [4]. It is a cycle-stealing algorithm that allows one to reduce the critical path delay of a synchronous circuit by shifting the clock signals at each register. This technique allows late arriving signals to be sampled at a later point in time by intentionally introducing a skew on the clock input of the sampling register. Typical FPGAs contain a number of special purpose global clock networks that distribute clock signals to every register in the chip. Unused global clock lines in FPGAs can be used to distribute a finite set of clock skews to the entire circuit. We propose an efficient integer programming method to find the optimal circuit improvement for a finite set of clock skews. This technique is modified to consider inherent uncertainties present in the timing models. The uncertainty controls the aggressiveness of the optimizations as we must take great care in ensuring functionality for any range of possible timing characteristics.Our results confirm intuition that more aggressive speed optimizations can be performed as timing models become more accurate. We also show that providing 4 skewed versions of the nominal clock signal results in the best delay--area tradeoff. This result is evocative as it may suggest future FPGA architectures that contain greater numbers of global clock lines, as we tradeoff gains in speed for greater power requirements from increased clock network flexibility.

A Delay-Optimal Quorum-Based Mutual Exclusion Algorithm for Distributed Systems
Authors: Guohong Cao, Mukesh Singhal
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

The performance of a mutual exclusion algorithm is measured by the number of messages exchanged per critical section execution and the delay between successive executions of the critical section. There is a message complexity and synchronization delay trade-off in mutual exclusion algorithms. The Lamport algorithm and the Ricart-Agrawal algorithm both have a synchronization delay of T (T is the average message delay), but their message complexity is O(N). Maekawa's algorithm reduces the message complexity to O(\sqrt{N}); however, it increases the synchronization delay to 2T. After Maekawa's algorithm, many quorum-based mutual exclusion algorithms have been proposed to reduce the message complexity or the increase the resiliency to site and communication link failures. Since these algorithms are Maekawa-type algorithms, they also suffer from the long synchronization delay. In this paper, we propose a delay-optimal quorum-based mutual exclusion algorithm which reduces the synchronization delay to T and still has a low message complexity of O(K) (K is the size of the quorum which can be as low as \log N). A correctness proof and a detailed performance analysis are provided.

CUBIK: a bi-directional tangible modeling interface
Authors: Surapong Lertsithichai, Matthew Seegmiller
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

We present CUBIK, a bi-directional tangible modeling interface used to aid architects and designers in the process of creating and manipulating 3D models with the computer. CUBIK consists of a wire frame cube structure and an interactive virtual cube as its user interfaces. When activated users can manipulate a 3D model from either interface physically or virtually. Any one interface can change its configuration according to manipulations from the other interface, enabling designers to directly assemble and manipulate tangible objects as an aid in designing 3D models. This can improve the interaction between designers and computer-aided design systems.

Venue:  (2001)

Storage and networking have traditionally resided in two distinct worlds. Networking professionals from an Internet Protocol (OP) internetworking background are usually not familiar with storage issues, and storage administrators may be unfamiliar with OP internetworking. With IP storage networking, network professionals dealing with storage area networks (SANs) now have an integrated option for improved data storage. IP SANs: A Guide to iSCSI, iFCP, and FCIP Protocols for Storage Area Networks explains these new IP technologies that enable SANs to keep up with today's networking needs, detailing the various storage solutions that are created when both disciplines are combined.

From Logic to Logic Programming
Authors: Kees Doets
Venue:  (1994)

:This mathematically oriented introduction to the theory of logic programming presents a systematic exposition of the resolution method for propositional, first-order, and Horn- clause logics, together with an analysis of the semantic aspects of the method. It is through the inference rule of resolution that both proofs and computations can be manipulated on computers, and this book contains elegant versions and proofs of the fundamental theorems and lemmas in the proof theory of logic programming. Advanced topics such as recursive complexity and negation as failure and its semantics are covered, and streamlined setups for SLD- and SLDNF-resolution are described. No other book treats this material in such detail and with such sophistication. Doets provides a novel approach to resolution that is applied to the first-order case and the case of (positive) logic programs. In contrast to the usual approach, the concept of a resolvent is defined nonconstructively, without recourse to the concept of unification, allowing the soundness and completeness proofs to be carried out in a more economic way. Other new material includes computability results dealing with analytical hierarchy, results on infinite derivations and an exposition on general logic programs using 3-valued logic.

Film Technology in Post Production
Authors: Dominic Case
Venue:  (1997)

:* Covers all technical service providers * In simple, step-by-step Media Manual format * Replaces Your Film and the Lab Previous books on film laboratories have described the lab as the technical center of the film production industry. In the modern world of Betacam shooting, telecine transfers, non-linear editing, and cassette dubs, this is no longer true, and the lab is but one of several technical service providers. As the number of alternative pathways a film production can follow have increased, the filmmaker needs a clearer understanding of the technical requirements of each function, in order to make well-informed decisions for each stage of the process. Film Technology in Post Production will fulfill that need. The book concentrates on the most frequently asked questions, and on those areas which cause the most trouble when misunderstood. Starting from a simple outline of the photographic process, the book goes on to identify the alternative pathways for film production and post production, and describes the function of the lab in each step of each process. Particular emphasis is given to the often confusing requirements for production in Super 16 and the blow-up to 35mm, the intricacies of negative cutting to match a non-linear edit, and to the process of grading and regrading for the answer print.
