Shapes and Geometries: Analysis, Differential Calculus, and Optimization presents the extensive, recently developed theoretical foundation to shape optimization in a form that can be used by the engineering community. It also clearly explains the state-of-the-art developments in a mathematical language that will attract mathematicians to open questions in this important field.
Towards the physical representation of a data base compatible with multiple user views
Authors: Michael H. Geldner
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

A DBMS user view consists of a Data Definition Language (DDL) which defines the data model and a Data Manipulation Language (DML) which defines the access scheme for that data model. To permit different user views to share a common data base, it is necessary to establish a single physical representation for the data base. The physical representation must be compatible with the data model of each logical view involved. This can be accomplished by mapping the DDL commands of each logical view into a set of Model Definition Primitive (MDP) commands which describe the physical representation of that logical view. The MDP descriptions of each physical representation can then be merged into one MDP description. The existence of Model Definition primitives has already been established (Dl); therefore, the purpose of this paper is twofold:1. Describe a DDL compiler for each view whose MDP output can be easily merged.2. Define the rules under which a merging program operates.In this paper we do not discuss the effects of the above merging concept on implementation of any DML.
A framework for reconfigurable computing: task scheduling and context management
Authors: Rafael Maestre, Fadi J. Kurdahi, Milagros Fernández, Roman Hermida, Nader Bagherzadeh, Hartej Singh
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

Dynamically reconfigurable architectures are emerging as a viable design alternative to implement a wide range of computationally intensive applications. At the same time, an urgent necessity has arisen for support tool development to automate the design process and achieve optimal exploitation of the architectural features of the system. Task scheduling and context (configuration) management become very critical issues in achieving the high performance that ditgital signal processing (DSP) and multimedia applications demand. This article proposes a strategy to automate the design process which considers all possible optimizations that can be carried out at compilation time, regarding context and data transfers. This strategy is general in nature and could be applied to different reconfigurable systems. We also discuss the key aspects of the scheduling problem in a reconfigurable architecture such as MorphoSys. In particular, we focus on a task scheduling methodlolgy for DSP and multimedia applications, as well as the context management and scheduling optimizations.
A media agent for automatically building a personalized semantic index
Authors: Liu Wenyin, Zheng Chen, Minjing Li, Hongjiang Zhang
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

A novel idea of media agent is briefly presented, which can automatically build a personalized semantic index of Web media objects for each particular user. Because the Web is a rich source of multimedia data and the text content on the Web pages is usually semantically related to those media objects on the same pages, the media agent can automatically collect the URLs and related text, and then build the index of the multimedia data, on behalf of the user whenever and wherever she accesses these multimedia data or their container Web pages. Moreover, the media agent can also use an off-line crawler to build the index for those multimedia objects that are relevant to the user's favorites but have not accessed by the user yet. When the user wants to find these multimedia data once again, the semantic index facilitates text-based search for her.
ITS professional development: refine, reward, retain
Authors: Barb Coleman
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

Within Information Technology Services (ITS) Division at Saint Louis University, professional development (PD) serves as the bridge where prospective and current ITS employees are now, and where they will need to be in order to meet the new challenges and opportunities during their employment with ITS. Successful professional development should be effective, rigorous, and relevant to both the individual and the organization. While supporting the strategies of ITS and Saint Louis University, professional development must also ensure continued preparation and career-long development of the ITS employee.Professional development is an integral part of the employee Performance Appraisal process for ITS employees. PD is seen as a win-win situation wherein the employee benefits by learning and improving current or new skills, and ITS benefits by recruiting and retaining highly skilled professionals. Several employee attitudes can relate to a company's profitability. To be specific, the role of managers and supervisors is extremely important. Quite often, employees don't leave companies - they leave managers and supervisors. Taking a quick assessment of employee attitude leads to creating solutions that help retain highly productive employees. Looking at how the employee relates to the manager/supervisor and the way that relationship influences productivity is important. Employee satisfaction is directly related to the employee learning and growing on the job, and to the employee being rewarded for such growth and learning. The responsibility for obtaining opportunities for such growth rests with the employee and manager.A professional development plan that is REFINED to fit the needs of the employee and supervisor and REWARDING financially and professionally for the ITS employee helps to RETAIN valuable ITS employees by providing new opportunities for growth and empowering the employees to direct their career path at Saint Louis University. As a result, the career development will narrow the gap that spans where ITS employees are now to where they need to be to meet the new challenges and opportunities during their employment with Saint Louis University.

Applying cognitive load theory to the design of web-based instruction
Authors: Susan Feinberg, Margaret Murphy
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Cognitive load theory can inform the design of web-based instruction. The basic premise of cognitive load theory is that the focus of an instructional module must be the instruction itself. Information that is adjunct to the instruction must be designed to minimize cognitive load and enhance working memory. Because the mental resources of working memory can be overloaded, any information that ignores cognitive load may interfere with the process of acquiring knowledge and skills. Instruction that effectively presents the learning to our working memory has an impact on our ability to store knowledge and skills in our long-term memory. Everything that we "know" is held in our long-term memory. Our team applied the principles of cognitive load theory to the design our instructional web site and discovered that cognitive load theory provides a sound baseline for the design of effective web-based instruction. Further, to effectively enhance web-based instruction, the graphical user interface and multimedia formats must be developed in consideration of cognitive load principles.

On the closest string and substring problems
Authors: Ming Li, Bin Ma, Lusheng Wang
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

The problem of finding a center string that is "close" to every given string arises in computational molecular biology and coding theory. This problem has two versions: the Closest String problem and the Closest Substring problem. Given a set of strings S = {s1, s2, ..., sn}, each of length m, the Closest String problem is to find the smallest d and a string s of length m which is within Hamming distance d to each si &epsilon; S. This problem comes from coding theory when we are looking for a code not too far away from a given set of codes. Closest Substring problem, with an additional input integer L, asks for the smallest d and a string s, of length L, which is within Hamming distance d away from a substring, of length L, of each si. This problem is much more elusive than the Closest String problem. The Closest Substring problem is formulated from applications in finding conserved regions, identifying genetic drug targets and generating genetic probes in molecular biology. Whether there are efficient approximation algorithms for both problems are major open questions in this area. We present two polynomial-time approximation algorithms with approximation ratio 1 + &epsilon; for any small &epsilon; to settle both questions.

Automatically combining ranking heuristics for HTML documents
Authors: Joaquin Rapela
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Web information and data management (2001)

Current search engines use several criteria or heuristics to rank HTML documents. HTML ranking heuristics need to be combined into a ranking function that given a text query returns a ranked list of HTML documents. The standard approach is to build a weighted average by manually estimating the importance of every heuristic and assigning a weight proportional to the estimated importance. In the current paper we apply an automatic method for combining HTML ranking heuristics. Using recall/precision evaluations we study the performance of the automatic method and using collections of HTML documents with different characteristics we show that the automatic method finds weights tailored to specific characteristics of each document collection

Dense Estimation of Fluid Flows
Authors: Thomas Corpetti, étienne MÉmin, Patrick Pérez
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

In this paper, we address the problem of estimating and analyzing the motion of fluids in image sequences. Due to the great deal of spatial and temporal distortions that intensity patterns exhibit in images of fluids, the standard techniques from Computer Vision, originally designed for quasi-rigid motions with stable salient features, are not well adapted in this context. We thus investigate a dedicated minimization-based motion estimator. The cost function to be minimized includes a novel data term relying on an integrated version of the continuity equation of fluid mechanics, which is compatible with large displacements. This term is associated with an original second-order div-curl regularization which prevents the washing out of the salient vorticity and divergence structures. The performance of the resulting fluid flow estimator is demonstrated on meteorological satellite images. In addition, we show how the sequences of dense motion fields we estimate can be reliably used to reconstruct trajectories and to extract the regions of high vorticity and divergence.
