A two-tier data dissemination model for large-scale wireless sensor networks
Authors: Fan Ye, Haiyun Luo, Jerry Cheng, Songwu Lu, Lixia Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

Sink mobility brings new challenges to large-scale sensor networking. It suggests that information about each mobile sink's location be continuously propagated through the sensor field to keep all sensor nodes updated with the direction of forwarding future data reports. Unfortunately frequent location updates from multiple sinks can lead to both excessive drain of sensors' limited battery power supply and increased collisions in wireless transmissions. In this paper we describe TTDD, a Two-Tier Data Dissemination approach that provides scalable and efficient data delivery to multiple mobile sinks. Each data source in TTDD proactively builds a grid structure which enables mobile sinks to continuously receive data on the move by flooding queries within a local cell only. TTDD's design exploits the fact that sensor nodes are stationary and location-aware to construct and maintain the grid structures with low overhead. We have evaluated TTDD performance through both analysis and extensive simulation experiments. Our results show that TTDD handles multiple mobile sinks efficiently with performance comparable with that of stationary sinks.
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices
Authors: Stephen McQuerry
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:In April 1998, Cisco Systems, Inc., announced a new professional development initiative called the Cisco Career Certifications. These certifications address the growing worldwide demand for more (and better) trained computer networking experts. Building upon our highly successful Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) programthe industry's most respected networking certification vehicle-Cisco Career Certifications enable you to be certified at various technical proficiency levels. Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices presents, in book format, all the topics covered in the challenging instructor-led and e-learning certification preparation courses of the same name. The ICND courses are the latest iteration of the CCNA recommended training material previously covered in Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration (ICRC 11.3) and Cisco Routers and LAN Switches (CRLS 3.0), as well as a portion of Cisco LAN Switch Configuration (CLSC). Whether you are studying to become CCNA certified or you just need a better understanding of the concepts, commands, and practices required to configure Cisco switches and routers in multiprotocol networks, you will benefit from the information presented in this book. Cisco and Cisco Press present this material in text-based format to provide another learning vehicle for our customers and the broader user community in general. Although a publication does not duplicate the instructor-led or e-learning environments, we acknowledge that not everyone responds in the same way to the same delivery mechanism. It is our intent that presenting this material via a Cisco Press publication will enhance the transfer of knowledge to a broad audience of networkingprofessionals. This is the seventh in a series of course supplements planned for Cisco Press, following Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration, Advanced Cisco Router Configuration, Building Cisco Remote Access Networks, Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting, Designing Cisco Networks, and Cisco Internetwork Design. Cisco will present existing and future courses through these coursebooks to help achieve Cisco Worldwide Training's principal objectives: to educate the Cisco community of networking professionals and to enable that community to build and maintain reliable, scalable networks. The Cisco Career Certifications and classes that support these certifications are directed at meeting these objectives through a disciplined approach to progressive learning. The books Cisco creates in partnership with Cisco Press will meet the same standards for content quality demanded of our courses and certifications. It is our intent that you will find this and subsequent Cisco Press certification and training publications of value as you build your networking knowledge base.
Assertions to better specify the amazon bug
Authors: L. Baresi, G. Denaro, L. Mainetti, P. Paolini
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Modern Web applications are mainly distributed systems that exploit the Internet as communication means and the Web as neutral interface to access services and data. The addition of services to Web applications poses problems that are usually tackled at the technology level, but that should be addressed during design to deliver quality Web applications. A typical example of these problems is the Amazon bug, an annoying problem that the user could encounter if after adding products to his shopping cart, he rolls back to a page with a previous version of the cart and tries to buy it. This would make the user buy the last version of the cart's contents, which in some subtle cases could be different from what expected.In this paper, we do not want to discuss all design aspects, but only how provided services/operations should jointly be designed with the rest of the system. We propose a new reference model for Web applications: Operations require a more complex model where they are not simply appended to information and navigation elements, but they can cooperate with them. Besides the reference model, the paper proposes the use of assertions to constraint the behavior of designed operations. Assertions do not only predicate on how data should be modified, but must also take into account how presentation and navigation could be affected by the execution of the operation.
Perspective shadow maps
Authors: Marc Stamminger, George Drettakis
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

Shadow maps are probably the most widely used means for the generation of shadows, despite their well known aliasing problems. In this paper we introduce perspective shadow maps, which are generated in normalized device coordinate space, i.e., after perspective transformation. This results in important reduction of shadow map aliasing with almost no overhead. We correctly treat light source transformations and show how to include all objects which cast shadows in the transformed space. Perspective shadow maps can directly replace standard shadow maps for interactive hardware accelerated rendering as well as in high-quality, offline renderers.

Resample hardware for 3D graphics
Authors: Koen Meinds, Bart Barenbrug
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS conference on Graphics hardware (2002)

Texture mapping is a core technology of current real-time 3D graphics systems. To avoid aliasing artifacts, the texture mapping resample process requires proper filtering. We present a new resample algorithm for two-pass forward texture mapping that is suited to an efficient hardware implementation. This method delivers high quality anti-aliased images using filter techniques based on digital signal processing. We use an input sample driven texture resample and filtering algorithm that "splats" the contribution of each input sample (texel) to output samples (pixels). We show how the algorithm can be efficiently implemented in a hardware resample structure. The algorithm is incorporated and tested in a standard 3D graphics pipeline using the OpenGL interface. Our results exhibit better anti-aliasing of textures than anisotropic filtering found in current advanced graphics chips. We also show that the same texture filtering method can be used to implement edge anti-aliasing. Our edge anti-aliasing results show an absence of aliasing on most edges.
Exploration Warehousing

Venue:  (1999)

:A revolutionary new approach to unearthing business opportunities, from the father of the data warehouseLet Bill Inmon, the father of the data warehouse, along with Robert Terdeman and Claudia Imhoff, introduce you to exploration warehousing, an innovative new approach to finding business opportunities hidden in patterns of data. In this groundbreaking book, they clearly explain the exploration process and identify the types of data warehouse designs best suited for exploration. They then outline the steps that must be followed in order to turn data into a competitive advantage.Using numerous case examples, the authors describe original exploration techniques and demonstrate how IT managers can work together with business managers to identify significant value in the data. These patterns can reveal opportunities in the marketplace for new products and services, when to discontinue products and services, where to streamline operations, and much more. To verify the strength and accuracy of these patterns, they show you how to use exploration with data mining techniques to assure business value.With this book, you'll gain a better understanding of:*The process of exploring data*The infrastructure of exploration*The roles that analysts play in your organization*How to form a basis of data that can be used for analysis*How patterns in data can be turned into business opportunity*When patterns should not be turned into business opportunity*The role of data mining

System architecture for tourist orientation: the TOSCA high-end system
Authors: Luis Salgado, Enrique Rendón, Roberto Artola
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

This paper presents the architecture of a system to provide user orientation with the capability to automatically show multimedia information (audio, static images, panoramic images, VRML models, HTML pages) according to the user real or virtual location within a site. System architecture is based on Client-Server technology. Site related information is mainly located at the Server side. The orientation devices are the Clients which request information to the Server according to each user position, profile and, what it is more important, terminal capabilities. The proposed architecture has been applied to provide tourist orientation when visiting, either actually or virtually, an open-area of the city of Madrid named The Orient Square.

Emphasis is placed on maintaining an overall structure in program design, and pseudo-code is shown as an alternative or supplement to flow-charting. Analyzing techniques of top-down modular program development fosters the reader's inquisitiveness. In this fifth edition, much new information has been added, including a new chapter on modularization. This book will easily fit as the core text for any course covering programming logic and design or structured programming.
Interaction effects of virtual structures
Authors: Mike Fraser, Steve Benford
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Collaborative virtual environments (2002)

Complex Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) are usually partitioned into a structure of discrete or nested graphical objects and spaces. The use of a structure for managing graphics and spaces allows users to perform certain actions. For example, objects can then be picked up and moved around; spaces can be separated into discrete units and individually broadcast to certain users, reducing network bandwidth requirements. However, the effects of providing particular structures on users' interaction have not been investigated. In this paper, we present an analysis of pairs of users interacting in a CVE. Our analysis highlights behaviours that are caused by the simple virtual structures it provides. We derive design issues to be considered when defining the structure of a shared virtual world.
Computing similarity between RNA structures
Authors: Bin Ma, Lusheng Wang, Kaizhong Zhang
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

The primary structure of a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule is a sequence of nucleotides (bases) over the four-letter alphabet {A,C,G,U}. The secondary or tertiary structure of an RNA is a set of base-pairs (nucleotide pairs) which forms bonds between AU and CG. For secondary structures, these bonds have been traditionally assumed to be one to one and non-crossing. This paper considers a notion of similarity between two RNA molecule structures taking into account the primary, the secondary and the tertiary structures. We show that, for tertiary structures, it is Max SNP-hard for both minimization and maximization versions. We show a stronger result for the maximization version where it cannot be approximated within ratio 2logn in polynomial time, unless NPDTIME[2polylogn]. We then present an algorithm that can be used for practical application. Our algorithm will produce an optimal solution for the case where at least one of the RNA involved is of a secondary structure. We also show an approximation algorithm.
Estimation of state line statistics in sequential circuits
Authors: Vikram Saxena, Farid N. Najm, Ibrahim N. Hajj
Venue: ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES) (2002)

In this article, we present a simulation-based technique for estimation of signal statistics (switching activity and signal probability) at the flip-flop output nodes (state signals) of a general sequential circuit. Apart from providing an estimate of the power consumed by the flip-flops, this information is needed for calculating power in the combinational portion of the circuit. The statistics are computed by collecting samples obtained from fast RTL simulation of the circuit under input sequences that are either randomly generated or independently selected from user-specified pattern sets. An important advantage of this approach is that the desired accuracy can be specified up front by the user; with some approximation, the algorithm iterates until the specified accuracy is achieved. This approach has been implemented and tested on a number of sequential circuits and has been shown to handle very large sequential circuits that can not be handled by other existing methods, while using a reasonable amount of CPU time and memory (the circuit s38584.1, with 1426 flip-flops, can be analyzed in about 10 minutes).

Distributed object location in a dynamic network
Authors: Kirsten Hildrum, John D. Kubiatowicz, Satish Rao, Ben Y. Zhao
Venue: Proceedings of the fourteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallel algorithms and architectures (2002)

Modern networking applications replicate data and services widely, leading to a need for location-independent routing -- the ability to route queries directly to objects using names independent of the objects' physical locations. Two important properties of a routing infrastructure are routing locality and rapid adaptation to arriving and departing nodes. We show how these two properties can be efficiently achieved for certain network topologies. To do this, we present a new distributed algorithm that can solve the nearest-neighbor problem for these networks. We describe our solution in the context of Tapestry, an overlay network infrastructure that employs techniques proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman, and Richa [14].

The analytic blossom
Authors: Géraldine Morin, Ron Goldman
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

Blossoming is a powerful tool for studying and computing with Bzier and B-spline curves and surfaces --- that is, for the investigation and analysis of polynomials and piecewise polynomials in geometric curves. Poisson curves are to analytic functions what Bzier curves are the polynomials --- a representation adapted to geometric design. As in the polynomial setting, the blossom provides a simple, powerful elegant and computationally meaningful way to analyze Poisson curves. Here, we define the analytic blossom and interpret all the known algorithms for Poisson curves --- subdivision, trimming, evaluation of the function and its derivatives, and conversion between the Taylor and the Poisson basis --- in terms of this analytic blossom.
