Conforming block inversion for low power memory
Authors: You-Sung Chang, Chong-Min Kyung
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2002)

In this paper, we propose a scheme for reducing the power consumption of memory components by conforming memory contents to a precharging value. The scheme is oriented to application to single bitline structure of memory. It selectively stores normal or inverted data to reduce the number of bit accesses that have different values from the precharging value, which reduces overall bitline toggling and ultimately contributes to power reduction of the memory.

When Things Start to Think
Authors: Neil Gershenfeld
Venue:  (1998)

:We live in a world of increasingly intrusive information technology, requiring that people meet the needs of machines rather than the other way around. In When Things Start to Think, Neil Gershenfeld explains why this has happened and how to fix it. This book presents a compelling vision of what the world will be like tomorrow, based on technology in the laboratory today. From a shoe that can exchange data through a handshake, to a universal book that can change the printing on its pages, to a supercomputer in a coffee cup, Gershenfeld shows how to dismantle the barrier between the bits of the digital world and the atoms of our physical world in order to bring together the best attributes of both worlds.

Viewing use cases as active objects
Authors: Lu Zhang, Dan Xie, Wei Zou
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

In this paper, we propose an idea of viewing use cases as active objects in the analysis model. Based on the idea, we present a new approach to use case-driven object-oriented analysis. This approach gives a systematic and natural way of incorporating use cases into the analysis model, and an effective way of localizing the effect of requirement changes.
Recommender systems in commerce and community
Authors: John Riedl
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Recommender systems have been revolutionizing the way shoppers and information seekers find what they want. We will study some of the tremendous successes and spectacular failures of recommenders in E-commerce to understand the causes of the success or failure. We will leverage that understanding into a set of principles for successfully applying recommenders to business problems. Finally, we will study the economic and social forces that are shaping the evolution of recommenders, and peer into the crystal ball to glimpse the directions the technology will be going in the future.
Interactive simulation of security policies
Authors: Giampaolo Bella
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

A general framework for simulating security policies interactively is developed by ASMs (Gurevich's Abstract State Machines) and then mechanised by the ASM Workbench. The ASM external functions make it possible to simulate under the environmental influence the behaviour of a policy. The interactive features of the Workbench allow the simulation of the policy norms that apply to a given case study, facilitating their understanding. Possible inconsistencies affecting the case study can be automatically detected during the simulation and widely documented. The framework is demonstrated on a published, example security policy. The findings support the claim that adding priorities to roles achieves the crucial goal of consistency.

Parallel bargrams for consumer-based information exploration and choice
Authors: Kent Wittenburg, Tom Lanning, Michael Heinrichs, Michael Stanton
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

In this paper we introduce multidimensional visualization and interaction techniques that are an extension to related work in parallel histograms and dynamic querying. Bargrams are, in effect, histograms whose bars have been tipped over and lined up end-to-end. We discuss affordances of parallel bargrams in the context of systems that support consumer-based information exploration and choice based on the attributes of the items in the choice set. Our tool called EZChooser has enabled a number of prototypes in such domains as Internet shopping, investment decisions, college choice, and so on, and a limited version has been deployed for car shopping. Evaluations of the techniques include an experiment indicating that trained users prefer EZChooser over static tables for choice tasks among sets of 50 items with 7-9 attributes.
Interactive mining and knowledge reuse for the closed-itemset incremental-mining problem
Authors: Luminita Dumitriu
Venue: ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter (2002)

Using concept lattices as a theoretical background for finding association rules [11] has led to designing algorithms like Charm [10], Close [7] or Closet [8]. While they are considered as extremely appropriate when finding concepts for association rules, due to the smaller amount of results, they do not cover a certain area of significant results, namely the pseudo-intents that form the base for global implications. We have proposed an approach that, besides finding all proper partial implications, also finds the pseudo-intents. The way our algorithm is devised, it allows certain important operations on concept lattices, like adding or extracting items, meaning we can reuse previously found results. It is a well-known fact that mining association rules may lead to a large amount of results. Since, the mining results are meant to be understood by the user, we have come to the conclusion that he will benefit more from starting small, with some of the items in the data base, understand a small amount of results, and then add items receiving only the extra-results. This way the number of human interventions during the "full" mining process is increased and the process becomes user-driven.

Rectified Catadioptric Stereo Sensors
Authors: Joshua Gluckman, Shree K. Nayar
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

It has been previously shown how mirrors can be used to capture stereo images with a single camera, an approach termed catadioptric stereo. In this paper, we present novel catadioptric sensors that use mirrors to produce rectified stereo images. The scan-line correspondence of these images benefits real-time stereo by avoiding the computational cost and image degradation due to resampling when rectification is performed after image capture. First, we develop a theory which determines the number of mirrors that must be used and the constraints on those mirrors that must be satisfied to obtain rectified stereo images with a single camera. Then, we discuss in detail the use of both one and three mirrors. In addition, we show how the mirrors should be placed in order to minimize sensor size for a given baseline, an important design consideration. In order to understand the feasibility of building these sensors, we analyze rectification errors due to misplacement of the camera with respect to the mirrors.

Dynamic pricing strategies under a finite time horizon
Authors: Joan Morris DiMicco, Amy Greenwald, Pattie Maes
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM conference on Electronic Commerce (2001)

In the near future, dynamic pricing will be a common competitive maneuver. In this age of digital markets, sellers in electronic marketplaces can implement automated and frequent adjustments to prices and can easily imagine how this will increase their revenue by selling to buyers "at the right time, at the right price." But at present, most sellers do not have an adequate understanding of the performance of dynamic pricing algorithms in their marketplaces. This paper addresses this concern by analyzing the performance of two adaptive pricing algorithms. We study the behavior of these algorithms within the Learning Curve Simulator, a platform for analyzing dynamic pricing strategies in finite markets assuming various buyer behaviors. The goals of our research are twofold: (i) to explore the use of simulation as a tool to aid in the development of dynamic pricing strategies; and (ii) to explicitly identify the market conditions under which our example strategies, Goal-Directed and Derivative-Following, are successful.
On the landscape ruggedness of the quadratic assignment problem
Authors: Eric Angela, Vassilis Zissimopoulosb
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

Local-search-based heuristics have been demonstrated to give very good results to approximately solve the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). In this paper, following the works of Weinberger and Stadler, we introduce a parameter, called the ruggedness coeffcient, which measures the ruggedness of the QAP landscape which is the union of a cost function and a neighborhood. We give an exact expression, and a sharp lower bound for this parameter. We are able toderive from it that the landscape of the QAP is rather flat, and so it gives a theoretical justification of the effectiveness of local-search-based heuristics for this problem. Experimental results with simulated annealing are presented which con8rm this conclusion and also the influence of the ruggedness coe5cient on the quality of results obtained.
The automatic initialization of an object-oriented knowledge base
Authors: Jose L. Cordova, Julia E. Hodges
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

This paper describes mechanisms for automatically building an initial set of knowledge base objects by processing natural language text in a restricted domain. A separate component assigns syntactic and domain-specific semantic tags to each of the words in the text. The syntactic and semantic tags are used to generate names of objects to be added to specific semantic classes in the knowledge base. An algorithm to ensure that the knowledge base objects created are not redundant is specified. The definition and organization of metaknowledge structures is also discussed. To ensure that the name generation and knowledge management techniques are domain-independent, any domain-specific information is isolated in a knowledge base definition file.

Computing with quantized enveloping algebras: PBW-Type bases, highest-weight modules and R-matrices
Authors: W. A. De Graaf
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2001)

Let Uq(g) be the quantized enveloping algebra corresponding to the semisimple Lie algebra g. We describe algorithms to obtain the multiplication table of a PBW-type basis of Uq(g). We use this to obtain an algorithm for calculating a GrRamp;Rouml;ner basis of an ideal in the subalgebra U-, which leads to a general construction of irreducible highest-weight modules over Uq(g). We also indicate how to compute the corresponding R -matrices. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
