Management Science and Operations Research, 1st edition
Authors: Rick Hesse
Venue:  (1996)

:This book is meant to give a good working knowledge of mathematical techniques available to model, solve and analyze real-world problems on spreadsheets that may arise in a work environment. Using this approach students have an easier time seeing the relevance of management science in the business world. The electronic spreadsheet has become the standard tool used to build models and analyze quantitative problems. This book incorporates all of the traditional management science topics taught today, but uses an electronic spreadsheet as a visual platform. The approach is centered on problem solving rather than learning mathematics or theory. It emphasizes both problem finding and formulation as managerial modeling and then uses the spreadsheet to layout the model on templates provided to the student to solve the problem. Students will then lead to the analysis of the results by performing "what-if" analysis-which is uniquely well matched to the spreadsheet approach. This allows them to get a feel for each type of model and what it can accomplish without getting confused with the math. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

A modification to the half-interval search (binary search) method
Authors: Louis F. Williams,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

This modification to the half-interval search (binary search) method finds the best computer zero within a fixed number of iterations of the half-interval search algorithm.The paper outlines the modification for use with a computer where floating-point numbers are stored in a fixed length field of thirty-two bits. Also, the floating-point numbers are represented using a hexidecimal base and twenty-four bits to store the fraction.The modification has to do with initially starting with a and b within consecutive powers of sixteen. That is, there exists an integer n such that16n &le; a < b &le; 16n+1 or -16n+1 &le; a < b &le; -16n. This determines the characteristic of x0. Then a binary search for the fraction of x0 can be completed within twenty-four iterations. If a computer zero of the function is not found in the search, then the a and b of the last iteration are consecutive computer numbers with f(a) and f(b) having opposite signs.

Statistical clock skew modeling with data delay variations
Authors: David Harris, Sam Naffziger
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

Accurate clock skew budgets are important for microprocessor designers to avoid hold-time failures and to properly allocate resources when optimizing global and local paths. Many published clock skew budgets neglect voltage jitter and process variation, which are becoming dominant factors in otherwise balanced H-trees. However, worst-case process variation assumptions are severely pessimistic. This paper describes the major sources of clock skew in a microprocessor using a modified H-tree and applies the model to a second-generation Itanium-M processor family microprocessor currently under design. Monte Carlo simulation is used to develop statistical clock skew budgets for setup and hold time constraints in a four-level skew hierarchy. Voltage jitter through the phase locked loop (PLL) and clock buffers accounts for the majority of skew budgets. We show that taking into account the number of nearly critical paths between clocked elements at each level of the skew hierarchy and variations in the data delays of these paths reduces the difference between global and local skew budgets by more than a factor of two. Another insight is that data path delay variability limits the potential cycle-time benefits of active deskew circuits because the paths with the worst skew are unlikely to also be the paths with the longest data delays.

On-line bin-stretching
Authors: Yossi Azar, Oded Regev
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

We are given a sequence of items that can be packed into m unit size bins. In the classical bin packing problem we fix the size of the bins and try to pack the items in the minimum number of such bins. In contrast, in the bin-stretching problem we fix the number of bins and try to pack the items while stretching the size of the bins as least as possible. We present two on-line algorithms for the bin-stretching problem that guarantee a stretching factor of 5/3 for any number m of bins. We then combine the two algorithms and design an algorithm whose stretching factor is 1:625 for any m. The analysis for the performance of this algorithm is tight. The best lower bound for any algorithm is 4/3 for any m&ge;2. We note that the bin-stretching problem is also equivalent to the classical scheduling (load balancing) problem in which the value of the makespan (maximum load) is known in advance.

Molecular feature mining in HIV data
Authors: Stefan Kramer, Luc De Raedt, Christoph Helma
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

We present the application of Feature Mining techniques to the Developmental Therapeutics Program's AIDS antiviral screen database. The database consists of 43576 compounds, which were measured for their capability to protect human cells from HIV-1 infection. According to these measurements, the compounds were classified as either active, moderately active or inactive. The distribution of classes is extremely skewed: Only 1.3 % of the molecules is known to be active, and 2.7 % is known to be moderately active.Given this database, we were interested in molecular substructures (i.e., features) that are frequent in the active molecules, and infrequent in the inactives. In data mining terms, we focused on features with a minimum support in active compounds and a maximum support in inactive compounds. We analyzed the database using the levelwise version space algorithm that forms the basis of the inductive query and database system MOLFEA (Molecular Feature Miner). Within this framework, it is possible to declaratively specify the features of interest, such as the frequency of features on (possibly different) datasets as well as on the generality and syntax of them. Assuming that the detected substructures are causally related to biochemical mechanisms, it should be possible to facilitate the development of new pharmaceuticals with improved activities.

Superimposing codes representing hierarchical information in web directories
Authors: Fidel Cacheda, Angel Viña
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Web information and data management (2001)

In this article we describe how superimposed coding can be used to represent hierarchical information, which is especially useful in categorized information retrieval systems (for example, Web directories). Superimposed coding have been widely used in signature files in a rigid manner, but our approach is more flexible and powerful. The categorization is based on a directed acyclic graph and each document is assigned to one or more nodes, using superimposed coding we represent the categorization information of each document in a signature. In this paper we explain the superimposed coding theory and how this coding technique can be applied to more flexible environments. Furthermore, we realize an exhaustive analysis of the important factors that have repercussions on the performance of the system. Finally we expose the conclusions obtained from this article.
Ubiquitous media agents for managing personal multimedia files
Authors: Liu Wenyin, Zheng Chen, Fan Lin, Rui Yang, Mingjing Li, Hongjiang Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the ninth ACM international conference on Multimedia (2001)

A novel idea of ubiquitous media agents is presented. Media agents are intelligent systems that are able to automatically collect and build personalized semantic indices of multimedia data on behalf of the user whenever and wherever he/she accesses/uses these multimedia data. The sources of these semantic descriptions are the textual context of the same documents that contain these multimedia data. The URLs of these multimedia data are indexed using these textual features. When the user wants to use these multimedia data once again, the media agents can also help the user find relevant multimedia data and provide proper suggestions based on the semantic indices. The media agents can also learn form the user's interaction records to refine the semantic indices and to model the user intentions and preferences. In our experiments, the media agents are effective in gathering relevant semantics for media objects and learning to provide precise suggestions when the user wants to re-use relevant media objects again.
Documenting software systems with views II: an integrated approach based on XML
Authors: Jochen Hartmann, Shihong Huang, Scott Tilley
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

Software engineers rely on program documentation as an aid in understanding the functional nature, high-level design, and implementation details of complex applications. Without such documentation, engineers are forced to rely solely on source code. This is a time-consuming and error-prone process, especially when one considers the amount of information assimilation and domain mapping that is required to understand the architecture of a large-scale software system. This paper describes an integrated approach to documenting software systems based on XML. In particular, the paper focuses on the creation and use of specific Document Type Definitions (DTD) that are defined by MSR as a standard for software documentation. MSR is a consortium of several German automotive companies whose goal is to support cooperative development between car manufacturers and their electronic system suppliers. To illustrate the approach, selected aspects of the document creation process for an engine control system are presented.

"The book covers the nature of information, how it is organized for use by a computer, how search functions are carried out, and some of the theory underlying these functions. As well, it discusses the interaction between user and system and how retrieved items, users, and complete systems are evaluated. A limited knowledge of mathematics and of computing is assumed.
An approach to incremental compilation
Authors: Steven P. Reiss
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (1984)

This paper describes an approach to incremental compilation that allows a complete incremental compiler to be generated from a simple language description. This description is in two parts. The first consists of an abstract syntax annotated with a powerful language for specifying the local semantics. The second consists of separate specifications detailing the uses of symbols, data types and expressions in the language. The approach operates in two stages. The first stage builds a local model of the semantics. The second propagates local changes into a global semantics. This approach has been used as part of the PECAN system for generating program development environments at Brown University.

DB2 for OS/390 Development for Performance, 2nd edition
Authors: Gabrielle Wiorkowski
Venue:  (2000)

:The DB2 for OS/390 Development for Performance book (1,035 pages) in its 2nd edition including Version 6 with new function APARs provides a practical, indepth guide to application design, development, and tuning with emphasis on ensuring good performance in a production environment. The book teaches proven techniques for tuning and developing application systems. It gives numerous hints, tips and guidelines on developing application systems to achieve high performance based upon the experience of the author and the input of over 14,000 DB2 professionals. These professionals from most major companies in 27 countries have attended the seminars upon which the book is based and contributed to the material since 1984. An understanding of DB2 processing is required and conveyed so that you can apply the guidelines to your specific applications. Companies use DB2 in a variety of ways depending on their business requirements, the type of application systems to be designed and developed, tuning of existing applications, and on the organizational structure of the company. Therefore, a number of alternatives for dealing with issues are presented and analyzed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. This allows you to choose the alternative that best fits your application system and environment. Test results are given to illustrate the magnitude of improvements that can be achieved by using many of the alternatives covered in the book. The book is an advanced sequel to Gabrielles earlier book DB2: Design and Development Guide, published by Addison-Wesley in three editions which sold over 40,000 copies.
