Measuring the impact of object-oriented techniques in grande applications: a method-level analysis
Authors: David Gregg, James F. Power, John T. Waldron
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande (2002)

In this work we seek to provide a foundation for the study of the level of use of object-oriented techniques in Java programs in general, and scientific applications in particular. Specifically, we focus on the use of small methods, and the frequency with which they are called, since this forms the basis for the study of method inlining, an important optimisation technique. We compare the Grande and SPEC benchmark suites, and note a significant difference in the nature and composition of these suites.

Nitsche type mortaring for some elliptic problem with corner singularities
Authors: B. Heinrich, K. Pietsch
Venue: Computing (2002)

The paper deals with Nitsche type mortaring as a finite element method (FEM) for treating non-matching meshes of triangles at the interface of some domain decomposition. The approach is applied to the Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions (as a model problem) under the aspect that the interface passes re-entrant corners of the domain. For such problems and non-matching meshes with and without local refinement near the re-entrant corner, some properties of the finite element scheme and error estimates are proved. They show that appropriate mesh grading yields convergence rates as known for the classical FEM in presence of regular solutions. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the approach and the theoretical results.

Sensitivity analysis and parameter tuning of a sea-ice model
Authors: Jong G. Kim, Paul D. Hovland
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

The values of many of the parameters in climate models are often not known with any great precision. We describe the use of automatic differentiation to examine the sensitivity of an uncoupled dynamic-thermodynamic sea-ice model to various parameters. We also illustrate the effectiveness of using these sensitivity derivatives with an optimization algorithm to tune the parameters to maximize the agreement between simulated results and observational data.
The Social Life of Information
Authors: John Seely Brown, Paul Duguid
Venue:  (2002)

:For years pundits have predicted that information technology will obliterate the need for almost everything--from travel to supermarkets to business organizations to social life itself. Individual users, however, tend to be more skeptical. Beaten down by info-glut and exasperated by computer systems fraught with software crashes, viruses, and unintelligible error messages, they find it hard to get a fix on the true potential of the digital revolution. John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid help us to see through frenzied visions of the future to the real forces for change in society. They argue that the gap between digerati hype and enduser gloom is largely due to the "tunnel vision" that information-driven technologies breed. We've become so focused on where we think we ought to be--a place where technology empowers individuals and obliterates social organizations--that we often fail to see where we're really going and what's helping us get there. We need, they argue, to look beyond our obsession with information and individuals to include the critical social networks of which these are always a part.

Amplifying Your Effectiveness: Collected Essays
Authors: Gerald M. Weinberg, James Bach, Naomi Karten
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:Gerald M. Weinberg Introduces the Four Parts: Although "organizational change" is a comforting executive concept, Virginia Satir, the great family therapist, was fond of reminding us that "change happens one person at a time." As the essays in Part One demonstrate, there is no organizational change without individual change, no organizational effectiveness without individual effectiveness. A recurring dream of technical workers is to have the opportunity to work in perfect isolation. For better or worse, though, the vast majority of technical work puts us in relationships with other people. So, as Part Two reveals, if we are to amplify our effectiveness, we must learn how to amplify the effectiveness of our interpersonal interactions. Projects are team efforts aimed at bringing something new into the world, which makes them sensitive measures of our individual and team effectiveness. To paraphrase an ancient Chinese proverb, managing a large project is like boiling a small fish -- a delicate job. The essays in Part Three explore a master's techniques. Once we have succeeded in demonstrating our effectiveness by successfully completing a project or two, our aspirations naturally turn to helping others do the same. But change is not the simple linear process that we might hope for, as the essays in Part Four illustrate.

Highly concentrated Ozone gas supplied at an atmospheric pressure condition as a new oxidizing reagent for the formation of SiO 2 thin film on Si
Authors: Kunihiko Koike, Shingo Ichimura, Akira Kurokawa, Ken Nakamura
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

We have investigated the characteristics of silicon oxidation by concentrated ozone gas through the comparison of the oxidation by oxygen molecules. A sophisticated high-concentration ozone generator, which exploits the ozone/oxygen gas separation technique with silica gel, has been developed for the study. The generator can continuously supply ozone-oxygen mixtures with ozone concentrations up to 30 at.% at one atmospheric pressure. Ozone gas with a concentration of 25 at.% from the generator formed SiO2 films as thick as 2 nm and 6 nm on Si for a 30 min. exposure at 200°C and 600°C, respectively. On the other hand, oxygen gas by itself could form SiO2 films with only 1 nm and 3 nm thickness, respectively, at the same conditions. Moreover, in the oxide film formation at 600°C, the oxide film growth by ozone was proceeded with an oxidation time in excess of 240 min., while it saturated within very short time in the oxidation by oxygen. These phenomena verify the strong oxidation power of ozone. In addition, we confirmed that the growth rate of the silicon oxide with ozone dramatically changed when the substrate temperature was over 500°C, and this suggested the change of oxidation mechanism at this point. However, such a characteristic was not found in oxidation with oxygen.

Simplifying automated hoarding methods
Authors: Geoffrey H. Kuenning, Wilkie Ma, Peter Reiher, Gerald J. Popek
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Modeling analysis and simulation of wireless and mobile systems (2002)

A number of mobile computing systems have used the technique of hoarding, which allows a mobile device to store a chosen subset of known files, to give disconnected users the illusion of a complete filesystem in the presence of limited storage. We undertook an extensive and detailed simulation study of the parameters of a well-known hoarding system, seer, in an attempt to discover the parameters that would produce the best performance. To our surprise, we discovered that the best parameter combinations were those that completely disabled seer's complex clustering methods, reverting the system instead to a modified form of LRU hoarding. We discuss the experiments and our results, and propose designs for future systems and directions for future research.
A framework for human-computer interaction in directed graph drawing
Authors: Hugo A. D. do Nascimento
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 Asia-Pacific symposium on Information visualisation - Volume 9 (2001)

This paper describes some studies in Human-Computer Interaction for Directed Graph Drawing. We have developed a system where users can help some standard graph drawing algorithms to produce nice drawings of a graph according to a set of aesthetic criteria. The system follows a general framework for interaction with optimisation processes that can be applied to many optimisation problems. Some discussion about the framework and possible improvements is presented.
A neural fuzzy network for word information processing
Authors: Chin-Teng Lin, Fun-Bin Duh, Der-Jenq Liu
Venue: Fuzzy Sets and Systems (2002)

A neural fuzzy system learning with fuzzy training data is proposed in this study. The system is able to process and learn numerical information as well as word information. At first, we propose a basic structure of five-layered neural network for the connectionist realization of a fuzzy inference system. The connectionist structure can house fuzzy logic rules and membership functions for fuzzy inference. The inputs, outputs, and weights of the proposed network can be fuzzy numbers of any shape. Also they can be hybrid of fuzzy numbers and numerical numbers through the use of fuzzy singletons. Based on interval arithmetics, a fuzzy supervised learning algorithm is developed for the proposed system. It extends the normal supervised learning techniques to the learning problems where only word teaching signals are available. The fuzzy supervised learning scheme can train the proposed system with desired fuzzy input-output pairs. An experimental system is constructed to illustrate the performance and applicability of the proposed scheme.

Noun phrase chunking with APL2
Authors: Suresh Manandhar, Enrique Alfonseca
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on APL-Berlin-2000 conference (2000)

The identification of phrases in a sentence can be useful as a pre-processing step before attempting the full parsing. There is already much literature about finding simple non-recursive non-overlapping Noun Phrases. We have modified the learning paradigm CLOG [4] to produce transformation lists, and we arrived to several interesting conclusions about Noun Phrase chunking. IBM APL2 was used to build a prototype that was later rewritten in C++ for performance purposes.
First-Order Specifications of Programmable Data Types
Authors: Grazyna Mirkowska, Andrzej Salwicki, Marian Srebrny, Andrzej Tarlecki
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

We consider first-order specifications together with the restriction to accept only programmable algebras as models. We provide a criterion which links this approach with the "generation principle": all programmable models of any specification SP that meets this criterion are reachable. We also show an example of a specification which does not satisfy the criterion and admits a programmable yet nonreachable model. Moreover, a general method of showing the existence of programmable but nonreachable models for a class of first-order specifications is given.
Reducing the complexity of the register file in dynamic superscalar processors
Authors: Rajeev Balasubramonian, Sandhya Dwarkadas, David H. Albonesi
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

Dynamic superscalar processors execute multiple instructions out-of-order by looking for independent operations within a large window. The number of physical registers within the processor has a direct impact on the size of this window as most in-flight instructions require a new physical register at dispatch. A large multi-ported register file helps improve the instruction-level parallelism (ILP), but may have a detrimental effect on clock speed, especially in future wire-limited technologies. In this paper, we propose a register file organization that reduces register file size and port requirements for a given amount of ILP. We use a two-level register file organization to reduce register file size requirements, and a banked organization to reduce port requirements. We demonstrate empirically that the resulting register file organizations have reduced latency and (in the case of the banked organization) energy requirements for similar instructions per cycle (IPC) performance and improved instructions per second (IPS) performance in comparison to a conventional monolithic register file. The choice of organization is dependent on design goals.

Visualizing Software Changes
Authors: S. G. Eick, T. L. Graves, A. F. Karr, A. Mockus, P. Schuster
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2002)

A key problem in software engineering is changing the code. We present a sequence of visualizations and visual metaphors designed to help engineers understand and manage the software change process. The principal metaphors are matrix views, cityscapes, bar and pie charts, data sheets, and networks. Linked by selection mechanisms, multiple views are combined to form perspectives that both enable discovery of high-level structure in software change data and allow effective access to details of those data. Use of the views and perspectives is illustrated in two important contexts: understanding software change by exploration of software change data and management of software development. Our approach complements existing visualizations of software structure and software execution.
Specifying mode requirements of embedded systems
Authors: Graeme Smith
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

This paper presents a formal notation for specifying requirements of embedded systems which exhibit continuous, real-time behaviour and move through various modes under digital control. It does this by extending an existing formal notation supporting continuous, real-time behaviour with an explicit concept of modes. The resulting notation avoids the subtleties which would otherwise arise when specifying mode-related requirements. It is therefore ideal as a means of specifying and communicating requirements of embedded systems.
