Combining stochastic process algebras and queueing networks for software architecture analysis
Authors: Simonetta Balsamo, Marco Bernardo, Marta Simeoni
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

We propose an integrated approach to the functional and performance analysis of Software Architectures (SAs) based on Stochastic Process Algebras (SPAs) and Queueing Networks (QNs), in order to combine their main advantages: formal techniques for the verification of functional properties of systems for SPAs, and efficient performance analysis for QNs. We first introduce &AElig;milia, a SPA based architectural description language for the compositional, graphical and hierarchical modeling of SAs, which is equipped with suitable checks for the detection of architectural mismatches. Then we present a systematic approach to derive QN models from &AElig;milia specifications. This is based on the identification of three different classes of QN basic elements --- arrival processes, buffers, and service processes --- and on syntactic restrictions to be imposed to &AElig;milia specifications, so that each architectural component directly falls into one of the three classes. Although performance analysis could be carried out directly on the Markov chain (MC) underlying an &AElig;milia specification, having a QN model allows performance indices to be evaluated possibly by exact product form solutions or by well known approximate methods. Furthermore, unlike the underlying MC, the high level of abstraction of the QN model should ease the interpretation of the performance results at the architectural description level.
Forest volume decompositions and Abel---Cayley---Hurwitz multinomial expansions
Authors: Jim Pitman
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

This paper presents a systematic approach to the discovery, interpretation and verification of various extensions of Hurwitz's multinomial identities, involving polynomials defined by sums over all subsets of a finite set. The identities are interpreted as decompositions of forest volumes defined by the enumerator polynomials of sets of rooted labeled forests. These decompositions involve the following basic forest volume formula, which is a refinement of Cayley's multinomial expansion: for R ⊑ S the polynomial enumerating out-degrees of vertices of rooted forests labeled by S whose set of roots is R, with edges directed away from the roots, is (Σxr)(Σxs)|S|-|R|-1.
Optical Wavefront Reconstruction: Theory and Numerical Methods
Authors: D. Russell Luke, James V. Burke, Richard G. Lyon
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

Optical wavefront reconstruction algorithms played a central role in the effort to identify gross manufacturing errors in NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST). NASA's success with reconstruction algorithms on the HST has led to an effort to develop software that can aid and in some cases replace complicated, expensive, and error-prone hardware. Among the many applications is HST's replacement, the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST). indent This work details the theory of optical wavefront reconstruction, reviews some numerical methods for this problem, and presents a novel numerical technique that we call extended least squares. We compare the performance of these numerical methods for potential inclusion in prototype NGST optical wavefront reconstruction software. We begin with a tutorial on Rayleigh--Sommerfeld diffraction theory.

Spinning the Semantic Web: Bringing the World Wide Web to Its Full Potential
Authors: Dieter Fensel, Wolfgang Wahlster, Henry Lieberman
Venue:  (2002)

:As the World Wide Web continues to expand, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to obtain information efficiently. Because most search engines read format languages such as HTML or SGML, search results reflect formatting tags more than actual page content, which is expressed in natural language. Spinning the Semantic Web describes an exciting new type of hierarchy and standardization that will replace the current "web of links" with a "web of meaning." Using a flexible set of languages and tools, the Semantic Web will make all available information--display elements, metadata, services, images, and especially content--accessible. The result will be an immense repository of information accessible for a wide range of new applications. This first handbook for the Semantic Web covers, among other topics, software agents that can negotiate and collect information, markup languages that can tag many more types of information in a document, and knowledge systems that enable machines to read Web pages and determine their reliability. The truly interdisciplinary Semantic Web combines aspects of artificial intelligence, markup languages, natural language processing, information retrieval, knowledge representation, intelligent agents, and databases.

A Fast Newton Algorithm for Entropy Maximization in Phase Determination
Authors: Zhijun Wu, George N. Phillips,  Jr., Richard Tapia, Yin Zhang
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

A long-standing issue in the Bayesian statistical approach to the phase problem in X-ray crystallography is to solve an entropy maximization subproblem efficiently in every iteration of phase estimation. The entropy maximization problem is a semi-infinite convex program and can be solved in a finite dual space by using a standard Newton method. However, the Newton method is too expensive for this application since it requires O(n3) floating point operations per iteration, where n corresponds to the number of phases to be estimated. Other less expensive methods have been used, but they cannot guarantee fast convergence. In this paper, we present a fast Newton algorithm for the entropy maximization problem, which uses the Sherman--Morrison--Woodbury formula and the fast Fourier transform to compute the Newton step and requires only O(n log n) floating point operations per iteration, yet has the same convergence rate as the standard Newton. We describe the algorithm and discuss related computational issues. Numerical results on simple test cases will also be presented to demonstrate the behavior of the algorithm.
Phase identification and growth kinetics of the intermetallic compounds formed during In-49Sn/Cu soldering reactions
Authors: T. H. Chuang, C. L. Yu, S. Y. Chang, S. S. Wang
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

For the application of In-49Sn solder in bonding recycled-sputtering targets to Cu back plates, the intermetallic compounds formed at the In-49Sn/Cu interface are investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations show that the interfacial intermetallics consist of a planar layer preceded by an elongated scalloped structure. Electron-probe microanalyzer analyses indicate that the chemical compositions of the planar layer and the scalloped structure are Cu74.8In12.2Sn13.0 and Cu56.2In20.1Sn23.7, respectively, which correspond to the ɛ-Cu3(In,Sn) and η-Cu6(In,Sn)5 phases. Kinetics analyses show that the growth of both intermetallic compounds is diffusion controlled. The activation energies for the growth of η- and ɛ-intermetallics are calculated to be 28.9 kJ/mol and 186.1 kJ/mol. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of intermetallic compounds during the In-49Sn/Cu soldering reaction is clarified by marking the original interface with a Ta-thin film. Wetting tests are also performed, which reveal that the contact angles of liquid In-49Sn drops on Cu substrates decline to an equilibrium value of 25°C.

The Control Revolution: How the Internet is Putting Individuals in Charge and Changing the World We Know
Authors: Andrew L. Shapiro
Venue:  (1999)

:In this exploration of the meaning of the Internet, journalist and legal scholar Andrew Shapiro weaves a narrative through events that are occurring all around us. Dissidents use the Net to evade censorship to get their messages out. Musicans bypass record companies and put their songs on the world wide web for fans to download directly. "Day traders" roil the stock market, buying securities online with the click of a mouse and then selling minutes later when the price jumps. Shapiro argues that there is a common thread underlying these developments. It is not just a change in how we compute or communicate. Rather, it is a potentially radical shift in who is in control - of information, experience, and resources.

Implementation & evolution of a course management system
Authors: Craig M. Kapp
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

The College of New Jersey has long offered web based teaching solutions through the department of Instructional Technology Services, and we have had much success in getting the faculty interested in technology over the past few years. Unfortunately, most of the products available were disparate and did not "play well" with their fellow applications. This model eventually brought forth an interest by the faculty to begin investigating integrated course management packages for a campus wide solution to the problem.At the request of the Provost, Instructional Technology services spearheaded a committee to investigate both in house and commercial software solutions. Two campus wide surveys were conducted - one for students and one for faculty - and those results were used to justify the selection of an in house application for campus wide use.This paper and presentation will focus on the process of selecting a course management package and the issues surrounding such an investment. It will also detail how TCNJ developed an in house application that has been customized through input gathered directly from faculty and students, our two biggest stakeholders in Instructional Technology.

Intelligent Signal Processing
Authors: Simon S. Haykin, Bart Kosko
Venue:  (2001)

:"IEEE Press is proud to present the first selected reprint volume devoted to the new field of intelligent signal processing (ISP). ISP differs fundamentally from the classical approach to statistical signal processing in that the input-output behavior of a complex system is modeled by using "intelligent" or "model-free" techniques, rather than relying on the shortcomings of a mathematical model. Information is extracted from incoming signal and noise data, making few assumptions about the statistical structure of signals and their environment. Intelligent Signal Processing explores how ISP tools address the problems of practical neural systems, new signal data, and blind fuzzy approximators. The editors have compiled 20 articles written by prominent researchers covering 15 diverse, practical applications of this nascent topic, exposing the reader to the signal processing power of learning and adaptive systems. This essential reference is intended for researchers, professional engineers, and scientists working in statistical signal processing and its applications in various fields such as humanistic intelligence, stochastic resonance, financial markets, optimization, pattern recognition, signal detection, speech processing, and sensor fusion. Intelligent Signal Processing is also invaluable for graduate students and academics with a background in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering. About the Editors Simon Haykin is the founding director of the Communications Research Laboratory at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, where he serves as university professor. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics, neural networks andadaptive filters and their applications in radar and communications systems. Dr. Haykin is the editor for a series of books on "Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control" (Publisher) and is both an IEEE Fellow and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Bart Kosko is a past director of the University of Southern California's (USC) Signal and Image Processing Institute. He has authored several books, including Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems, Neural Networks for Signal Processing (Publisher, copyright date) and Fuzzy Thinking (Publisher, copyright date), as well as the novel Nanotime (Publisher, copyright date).

The temporal logic of branching time
Authors: Mordechai Ben-Ari, Zohar Manna, Amir Pnueli
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

A temporal language and system are presented which are based on branching time structure. By the introduction of symmetrically dual sets of temporal operators, it is possible to discuss properties which hold either along one path or along all paths. Consequently it is possible to express in this system all the properties that were previously expressible in linear time or branching time systems. We present an exponential decision procedure for satisfiability in the language based on tableaux methods, and a complete deduction system. As associated temporal semantics is illustrated for both structured and graph representation of programs.
