The Jini Specifications, 2nd edition
Authors: Jim Waldo
Venue:  (2000)

:Built on top of the Java software infrastructure, Jini technology enables all types of services and devices to work together in a communityorganized without extensive planning, installation, or human intervention. Jini technology allows the lines to blur between what is hardware and what is software by representing all hardware and software as Jini technology-enabled "services," accessible either directly or through surrogates written in the Java programming language. In a distributed system of Jini technology-enabled services, these programs interact spontaneously, enabling services to join or leave the network with ease, which allows clients to view and access available services with confidence. A system of Jini technology-enabled services can link office components such as printers, faxes, and desktop computers. Beyond these traditional networks, the technology is also ideal for building the home-based networks that are now emerging: entertainment systems, cars, smart houses, and personal computers. This book contains the formal specification for the core Jini technology, as well as specifications for local helper utilities and remote helper services. It offers a review of distributed computing fundamentals, an overview of the Jini architecture, and an introduction to the key concepts that are the source of the technology's simplicity and powerremote objects, leasing, distributed events, and a two-phase commit protocol. The formal specifications provide the definitive description of every element of the Jini architecture, including detailed information on such topics as: Jini discovery and join protocols Jini entryusage Jini distributed leasing concepts Jini distributed event programming model Jini transaction model and semantics Jini lookup service and lookup attribute schema Jini discovery, event, leasing, and join utilities Jini lookup discovery, lease renewal, and event mailbox helper services Jini device architecture

Constrained random walks on random graphs: routing algorithms for large scale wireless sensor networks
Authors: Sergio D. Servetto, Guillermo Barrenechea
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Wireless sensor networks and applications (2002)

We consider a routing problem in the context of large scale networks with uncontrolled dynamics. A case of uncontrolled dynamics that has been studied extensively is that of mobile nodes, as this is typically the case in cellular and mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper however we study routing in the presence of a different type of dynamics: nodes do not move, but instead switch between active and inactive states at random times. Our interest in this case is motivated by the behavior of sensor nodes powered by renewable sources, such as solar cells or ambient vibrations. In this paper we formalize the corresponding routing problem as a problem of constructing suitably constrained random walks on random dynamic graphs. We argue that these random walks should be designed so that their resulting invariant distribution achieves a certain load balancing property, and we give simple distributed algorithms to compute the local parameters for the random walks that achieve the sought behavior. A truly novel feature of our formulation is that the algorithms we obtain are able to route messages along all possible routes between a source and a destination node, without performing explicit route discovery/repair computations, and without maintaining explicit state information about available routes at the nodes. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first algorithms that achieve true multipath routing (in a statistical sense), at the complexity of simple stateless operations.

On the Convergence Rate of Operator Splitting for Hamilton--Jacobi Equations with Source Terms
Authors: Espen Robstad Jakobsen, Kenneth Hvistendahl Karlsen, Nils Henrik Risebro
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

We establish a rate of convergence for a semidiscrete operator splitting method applied to Hamilton--Jacobi equations with source terms. The method is based on sequentially solving a Hamilton--Jacobi equation and an ordinary differential equation. The Hamilton--Jacobi equation is solved exactly while the ordinary differential equation is solved exactly or by an explicit Euler method. We prove that the $L^{\infty}$ error associated with the operator splitting method is bounded by $\mathcal{O}(\Delta t)$, where $\Delta t$ is the splitting (or time) step. This error bound is an improvement over the existing $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{\Delta t})$ bound due to Souganidis [Nonlinear Anal., 9 (1985), pp. 217--257]. In the one-dimensional case, we present a fully discrete splitting method based on an unconditionally stable front tracking method for homogeneous Hamilton--Jacobi equations. It is proved that this fully discrete splitting method possesses a linear convergence rate. Moreover, numerical results are presented to illustrate the theoretical convergence results.
A Note on the Augmented Hessian When the Reduced Hessian is Semidefinite
Authors: Kurt M. Anstreicher, Margaret H. Wright
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

Certain matrix relationships play an important role in optimality conditions and algorithms for nonlinear and semidefinite programming. Let H be an n &times; n symmetric matrix, A an m &times; n matrix, and Z a basis for the null space of A. (In a typical optimization context, H is the Hessian of a smooth function and A is the Jacobian of a set of constraints.) When the reduced Hessian ZTHZ is positive definite, augmented Lagrangian methods rely on the known existence of a finite $\bar\rho\ge 0$ such that, for all $\rho > \bar\rho$, the augmented Hessian $H + \rho \ATA $ is positive definite. In this note we analyze the case when ZTHZ is positive semidefinite, i.e., singularity is allowed, and show that the situation is more complicated. In particular, we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a finite $\bar\rho$ so that $H + \rho \ATA$ is positive semidefinite for $\rho \ge \bar\rho$. A corollary of our result is that if H is nonsingular and indefinite while ZTHZ is positive semidefinite and singular, no such $\bar\rho$ exists.
Asymptotic Control of Pairs of Oscillators Coupled by a Repulsion, with Nonisolated Equilibria I: The Regular Case
Authors: Alexandre Cabot, Marc-Olivier Czarnecki
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

Let $\phi : H\rightarrow \R$ be a $\mathcal{C}^1$ function on a real Hilbert space H and let $\gamma > 0$ be a positive damping parameter. For any repulsive potential $V:H\to \R_+$ and any control function $\varepsilon :\R_+\to \R_+$ which tends to zero as $t\to +\infty$, we study the asymptotic behavior of the trajectories of the coupled dissipative system of nonlinear oscillators $$ \left \{ \begin{array}{l} \ddot{x}+\gamma \dot{x}+\nabla\phi(x)+\varepsilon(t)\nabla V(x-y)=0,\\ \ddot{y}+\gamma \dot{y}+\nabla\phi(y)-\varepsilon(t)\nabla V(x-y)=0. \end{array} \right. \leqno{\rm (HBFC^2)} $$ We first provide general existence results and show that $\nabla \phi (x(t))\to 0$ and $\nabla \phi (y(t))\to 0$ when $t\to +\infty$, assuming either that the trajectory (x,y) is bounded, or that the potential V is bounded and that $\phi$ satisfies the following limit condition: \vspace*{\abovedisplayskip}\begin{itemize} \item[\rm (LIM)] For every sequence $ (z_n)\subset H $ such that $ \lim_{n\to +\infty}|z_n|=+\infty,$ there exists a subsequence $(z_{\varphi(n)})$ such that $$ \lim_{n \to +\infty}{\phi}(z_{\varphi(n)})=+\infty \qquad \mbox{or} \qquad \lim_{n \to +\infty}\nabla{\phi}(z_{\varphi(n)})=0. $$ \end{itemize}\noindent If $\varepsilon(t)$ does not tend to zero too rapidly as $t\to +\infty$, then the term $\varepsilon(t) \nabla V(x-y)$ asymptotically repulses the trajectories one from the other. Precisely, when $H=\R$, and if $\varepsilon$ is a ``slow'' control, i.e., $\int_0^{+\infty} \varepsilon(t)dt=+\infty$, then the trajectories $x$ and $y$ converge to extremal points of the set $S=\{\lambda\in \R, \nabla\phi(\lambda)=0\}$ of the equilibria of $\phi$ (when $S\ne \emptyset$), or they have the same limit. In particular, when $S$ is reduced to an interval---for example, if $\phi$ is convex---this allows us to obtain a global description of the set $S$. We provide numerical experiments which make our convergence results more precise.
A generic approach to free form surface generation
Authors: J. Cotrina-Navau, N. Pla-Garcia, M. Vigo-Anglada
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

A theoretical approach to construct free form surfaces is presented. We develop the concepts that arise when a free form surface is generated by tracing a mesh, using dieren-tiable manifold theory, and generalizing the B-spline scheme. This approach allows to dene a family of practical schemes. Three dierent practical applications of the generic approach are also presented in this paper.

Exact Size of Binary Space Partitionings and Improved Rectangle Tiling Algorithms
Authors: Piotr Berman, Bhaskar DasGupta, S. Muthukrishnan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

We prove the following upper and lower bounds on the exact size of binary space partition (BSP) trees for a set of n isothetic rectangles in the plane: An upper bound of 3n-1 in general, and an upper bound of 2n-1 if the rectangles tile the underlying space. This improves the upper bounds of 4n in [V. Hai Nguyen and P. Widmayer, Binary Space Partitions for Sets of Hyperrectangles, Lecture Notes in Comput. Sci. 1023, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1995; F. d'Amore and P. G. Franciosa, Inform. Process. Lett., 44 (1992), pp. 255--259]. A BSP satisfying the upper bounds can be constructed in O(n log n) time. A worst-case lower bound of 2n-o(n) in general, and $\frac{3n}{2}-o(n)$ if the rectangles form a tiling. The BSP tree is one of the most popular data structures in computational geometry, and hence even "small" factor improvements of $\frac{4}{3}$ or 2 on the previously known upper bounds that we show improve the performances of applications relying on the BSP tree. As an illustration, we present improved approximation algorithms for certain dual rectangle tiling problems using our upper bounds on the size of the BSP trees.
