Schur-Type Methods for Solving Least Squares Problems with Toeplitz Structure
Authors: Haesun Park, Lars Eldén
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We give an overview of fast algorithms for solving least squares problems with Toeplitz structure, based on generalization of the classical Schur algorithm, and discuss their stability properties. In order to obtain more accurate triangular factors of a Toeplitz matrix as well as accurate solutions for the least squares problems, methods based on corrected seminormal equations (CSNE) can be used. We show that the applicability of the generalized Schur algorithm is considerably enhanced when the algorithm is used in conjunction with CSNE. Several numerical tests are reported, where different variants of the generalized Schur algorithm and CSNE are compared for their accuracy and speed.

Wireless laptop check-out
Authors: Tony D. Lovgren
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

In this paper, I describe the strategies used to plan, implement and promote Idaho State University's wireless laptop check-out initiative.From July 2001 to August 2001, Idaho State University installed wireless access points in five buildings. Thirty laptops were purchased for student check-out and divided between three check-out locations: Eli Obler Library Computer Lab, Computer Center Computer Lab and the Student Union Information Desk.From August 2001 to May 2002, the check-out program has served nearly 2,000 students with over 16,000 check-outs. The second semester of implementation saw nearly triple the number of students and check-outs than the first semester.During this first year of implementation, we added more access points to cover various outdoor locations and installed the necessary infrastructure at the ISU Idaho Falls Center, adding three more buildings to the wireless network and an additional check-out location.

Geometry and Color in Natural Images
Authors: Vicent Caselles, Bartomeu Coll, Jean-Michel Morel
Venue: Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision (2002)

Most image analysis algorithms are defined for the grey level channel, particularly when geometric information is looked for in the digital image. We propose an experimental procedure in order to decide whether this attitude is sound or not. We test the hypothesis that the essential geometric contents of an image is contained in its level lines. The set of all level lines, or topographic map, is a complete contrast invariant image description: it yields a line structure by far more complete than any edge description, since we can fully reconstruct the image from it, up to a local contrast change. We then design an algorithm constraining the color channels of a given image to have the same geometry (i.e. the same level lines) as the grey level. If the assumption that the essential geometrical information is contained in the grey level is sound, then this algorithm should not alter the colors of the image or its visual aspect. We display several experiments confirming this hypothesis. Conversely, we also show the effect of imposing the color of an image to the topographic map of another one: it results, in a striking way, in the dominance of grey level and the fading of a color deprived of its geometry. We finally give a mathematical proof that the algorithmic procedure is intrinsic, i.e. does not depend asymptotically upon the quantization mesh used for the topographic map. We also prove its contrast invariance.
Grammar Systems: A Grammatical Approach to Distribution and Cooperation, 1st edition
Authors: Erzsebet Csuhaj-Varju, Josef Kelemen, Gheorghe Paun, Jurgen Dassow
Venue:  (1994)

:This book investigates two major systems: firstly, cooperating distributed grammar systems, where the grammars work on one common sequential form and the cooperation is realized by the control of the sequence of active grammars; secondly, parallel communicating grammar systems, where each grammar works on its own sequential form and cooperation is done by means of communicating between grammars. The investigation concerns hierarchies with respect to different variants of cooperation, relations with classical formal language theory, syntactic parameters such as the number of components and their size, power of synchronization, and general notions generated from artificial intelligence.

Professional Visual Basic 6 MTS Programming
Authors: Matt Bortniker, James M. Conrad
Venue:  (1999)

:Presently, books do not meet the needs of the experienced Visual Basic Developer interested in implementing MTS. Many existing books have devoted small sections to MTS. These are often great resources for many developers. However, they do not provide the necessary depth required for more advanced programmers to implement a large-scale application. Typically, this group of developers has gone beyond the knowledge level that existing books have to offer. They may often turn to alternate sources of information such as the Visual Basic Programmers Journal, Microsoft Developers Network, and USENET groups. However, each of these provides the same types of repetitive code samples and snippets that address single and often obscure development topics. This book addresses the needs of these programmers, who need advice and instruction on how to use MTS to create a feature rich scalable application. These developers want to take advantage of the MTS programming model to develop a Visual Basic application that uses components to encapsulate business logic. This book is a sequel to the great introductory Wrox VB MTS book, Pro MTS/MSMQ. Follows on from the first Wrox VB MTS book. Situates professional MTS programming in the real world. Written by an experienced MTS programmer in industry. Discusses MTS/COM from a deep design standpoint also. Transaction theory is covered. MTS security model discussed. Practical examples underlining theoretical discussion. ADO2 coverage. SQL7 coverage. Visual Basic programmers with extensive application development experience. They will have read one or more of the advanced books on object oriented programming with Visual Basic 5 such as; Professional Visual Basic 5 Business Objects (Wrox Press), Doing Objects in Microsoft Visual Basic 5 (Microsoft Press), or Professional MTS MSMQ with VB and ASP (Wrox Press). These developers will have a firm understanding of relational databases having used ODBC to connect to SQL Server, Oracle or Sybase.
Continuous contact simulation for smooth surfaces
Authors: Paul G. Kry, Dinesh K. Pai
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2003)

Dynamics simulation of smooth surfaced rigid bodies in contact is a critical problem in physically based animation and interactive virtual environments. We describe a technique that uses reduced coordinates to evolve a single continuous contact between smooth piecewise parametric surfaces. The incorporation of friction into our algorithm is straightforward. The dynamics equations, although slightly more complex due to the reduced coordinate formulation, can be integrated easily using explicit integrators without the need for constraint stabilization. Reduced coordinates confine integration errors to the constraint manifold, thereby permitting a wide choice of step sizes with visually acceptable results. We demonstrate these results using Loop Subdivision surfaces with parametric evaluation.
